[bunniefuu]

Hi, I'm pablo.

My name's tyrone.

I'm uniqua.

I'm tasha.

And my name's austin.

All:
and we're...

* Your backyard friends,
the backyardigans *

* Together with
the backyardigans *

Pablo:
* in the place
where we belong *

Uniqua:
* where we'll probably
sing a song *

Tasha:
* and we'll maybe dance along

All:
* we've got the whole wide world
in our yard to explore *

* We always find things
we've never seen before *

* That's why every day
we're back for more *

* With your friends,

* The backyardigans

"Polka palace party"

(Tuba playing)

(Plays tuba)

Yip! Yip! Yip! Yip!

Howdy!

It's me,
cowboy tyrone,

And this is my tuba.

Listen to this.

(Plays tuba)

Isn't that a pretty sound?

It's my favorite
kind of music -

The polka.

Yip! Yip! Yip! Yip!

That's what cowboy
polka players say

When they're really
having a good time!

(Plays tuba)

* I love to play the tuba,

* And do the polka dance

* Makes me feel so happy

* In my cowboy polka pants

* Do the tuba polka

* Do the tuba polka

I love playing the polka
on my tuba!

It sounds sooooo pretty.

But it would sound
even better

With more instruments,

Maybe a clarinet
and an accordion

And some drums.

Then I'd have a cowboy
polka band!

Sherman:
(short squeak)

Sherman!

It's my friend sherman
the worman.

(Squeak, squeak)

He's throwing
a surprise birthday party

For his brother today.

(Squeak, squeak)

It's at the cheyenne
polka palace.

That's way out west,
in wyoming.

(Squeak, squeak)

That's right,
sherman.

When your brother
gets to the polka palace,

We're all going
to yell "surprise!"

Then I'll play my tuba,

So all the wormans
can dance the polka.

(Squeak, squeak)

What? The party starts
at sundown?

Well we better get going,

So we can
get there in time.

(Squeak, squeak)

You betcha, sherman!

Let's head
for wyoming!

Way out west...

With cactuses...

And beautiful western skies...

And the mighty
cheyenne river!

* We're heading west

* To play a polka party
for our friends *

* All the way to cheyenne

* Where the dancing
never ends *

* Dance little worman polka

Yip! Yip! Yip! Yip!

* Dance little worman polka

* When sherman's
brother gets there, *

* We'll yell surprise
real loud *

* And all those western
wormans *

* Will dance the polka proud

* Dance little worman polka

Yip! Yip! Yip! Yip!

* Dance little worman polka

(Plays tuba)

Look, sherman,
it's the cheyenne river.

We can follow it
all the way to the polka palace.

(Squeak, squeak)

Yeah,
I hear drums too!

Look, a drummin' cowboy
on a raft.

If he gives us a ride,

We'll get to cheyenne
in plenty of time.

(Shouting)
excuse me?

Howdy, drummer!

Hey, wait up!

Uniqua: (shouting)
help! Help!

Sounds like somebody's
in trouble!

(Squeak, squeak)

You're right,
sherman!

It's coming
from over there!

Uniqua: (shouting)
help! Help!

Hang on, partner!
We're coming!

I can hang on,

But I don't think
this branch can!

(Snap)
whoa!

Uh-oh.

Whooooaaaaah!

I've got you!

Oof!

You caught me!

Actually,
my tuba caught you.

Thanks amigo,

To you
and your tuba.

You're welcome.

I'm cowboy tyrone

And this is my friend,
sherman.

(Squeak, squeak)

Howdy!

I'm cowgirl uniqua.

Now where's my clarinet?

Here it is!

Thanks!

(Plays clarinet)

You play
the clarinet!

Yup, that's how
I fell off the mesa.

I was practicing
my clarinet

And it sounded
so pretty

That I danced right off
the edge.

That could happen.

I love the clarinet.

(Plays clarinet)

* The clarinet,
the clarinet *

* What do I like
about the clarinet? *

* The clarinet,
the clarinet *

* Got to love
the clarinet *

* One good thing
about the clarinet *

* Is all those tasty tones
I get *

* If anyone's found
a better sound *

* I haven't heard it yet

* The clarinet,
the clarinet *

* What do I like
about the clarinet? *

* The clarinet,
the clarinet *

* Got to love the clarinet

* Tell me something
else about the clarinet *

* It's very portable

Yeah, I bet!

* Small and light,

* So it fits just right

* Play it on the porch
or in the kitchenette *

* I play it when I'm dry
or when I'm wet *

* Got to love the clarinet

* The clarinet,
the clarinet *

* That's what I like
about the clarinet *

* The clarinet,
the clarinet *

* Got to love the clarinet

* Tuba too!

* Got to love the clarinet *

* Darn tootin'!

* Got to love the clarinet!

This cowgirl can
really play the clarinet.

I could use her in
my cowboy polka band.

You know, it's quite
a coincidence, partner.

You play the clarinet,

And I play tuba

And we're both
in wyoming!

That is a coincidence.

I bet if we play
together,

It would sound
really great!

Especially if we play

My favorite kind of music -
the polka.

The polka?!

That's my favorite
music too!

What a coincidence!

Let's give it a try.

One, two,
three, four...

(Playing the tuba and clarinet)

* Dance little worman polka

Yip! Yip! Yip! Yip!

* Dance little worman polka

* Dance little worman polka

Yip! Yip! Yip! Yip!

* Dance little worman polka *

Both:
that was sooooooo pretty!

Sherman:
(squeak, squeak)

(Giggles)

(Squeak, squeak)

You're right,
sherman,

We better get
back on the trail.

Where are you
cowboys headed?

We've got to get
to the polka palace

In cheyenne by sundown.

Sherman's throwing
a surprise birthday party

For his brother there.

I'm going
to play my tuba.

(Squeak, squeak)

Sherman says want to come
to the party

And play with me?

You're darn tootin'!

I'm in!

(Squeak, squeak)

We better make tracks.

Cheyenne is still quite
a ways down-river.

(Banging of drums
in distance)

Hey,
do you hear drums?

It's that cowboy drummer
on the raft again.

Maybe he could give us
a ride to cheyenne!

Hey there, cowboy!

Uniqua:
hey, wait up, amigo!
We need a ride!

Pablo:
help! Help!

Sounds like somebody's
in trouble, partners.

Pablo:
help!

Sherman:
(squeak, squeak)

You're right, sherman.

Sounds like it's coming
from over there!

C'mon!

(Horse whinny)

Pablo:
help! Help! Runaway horses!

Runaway horses!

Help! Help!
Runaway horses!

Uniqua:
looks like runaway horses.

Pablo:
run away horses!
Run away horses!

Tyrone:
it certainly does.

(Shouting)
no! No! Stop!

Uh-oh!

Uniqua:
they're heading right for us!

(Squeak, squeak)

Don't worry!

(Overblows on the tuba)

(Horses whinny)

(Panting)

He stopped them!

With his tuba!

It's just an old
cowboy trick, partners.

Runaway horses always
stop running

When they hear a tuba.

Uniqua:
I didn't know that.

Pablo:
let's get them
into the corral.

It's feeding time.

Pablo:
* feedin' time,
feedin' time, *

* Hey you horses,
it's eatin' time *

* Feedin' time,
feedin' time *

* Come on,
get your feed *

Yip! Yip!

* Horsey, horsey,
pick up your feet *

* Mosey on over,
it's time to eat *

* Oats, oats,
come and get your oats *

* Come and get your oats,

* Before I give 'em
to the goats *

* Feedin' time,
feedin' time, *

* Hey you horses,
it's eatin' time *

* Feedin' time,
feedin' time *

* Come on,
get your feed *

Yip! Yip!

* Drink, drink,
come and get your drink *

* He got it
from the well *

* 'Cuz he hasn't
got a sink *

* Water, water,
fresh from the well *

* You can tell it's got
that swell well smell *

* Horsey, horsey
move your snout. *

* Bring it over here
quit snuffling about *

* Come and eat your grub

* While we sing
our feeding song *

* Come and eat
and bob your heads *

* And tap your hooves along

* Food, food,
come and get your food *

* Tastily prepared
by a polka-playing dude *

* Food, food,
he spilled some on his shirt *

* He's also got a pocket
full of apples for dessert *

* Feedin' time,
feedin' time, *

* Hey you horses,
it's eatin' time *

* Feedin' time,
feedin' time *

* Come on,
get your feed *

* Come on,
get your feed *

Yip! Yip!

Pablo:
thanks, y'all!

I never could've
gotten those horses

Back in the corral
without you.

I'm cowboy pablo.

Howdy.
I'm cowboy tyrone.

And I'm cowgirl
uniqua.

(Squeak, squeak)

And this is my pal
sherman the worman.

I see you play
the accordion.

Yup.

I play my accordion

To let the horses know
it's feedin' time.

But today it sounded
soooo pretty

That I forgot to lock
the gate,

And they ran away.

You know partner,

This is quite
a coincidence!

I play the tuba...

And I play
the clarinet...

And I play the accordion...

And we're all here
in wyoming!

That is a coincidence.

I bet it would
sound great

If the three of us
played together.

Especially
if we played

My favorite kind of music -
the polka.

In unison:
(gasps) the polka!

That's our favorite music,
too!

All:
what a coincidence!

Let's play some!

One, two,
three, four...

**

Yip! Yip! Yip! Yip!

* Dance little worman polka

Yip! Yip! Yip! Yip!

* Dance little worman polka *

**

* Dance little worman polka

Yip! Yip! Yip! Yip!

* Dance little worman polka

All:
that was sooooo pretty!

Uniqua:
want to come play at a surprise
birthday polka party with us?

I'm in!

I love surprise
parties!

Especially when
everyone yells

"Surprise!"

(Squeak, squeak)

Good point, sherman.

He says,
we better hurry

If we want to get to
cheyenne before sundown.

Uniqua:
then let's make tracks!

Come on!

Uniqua:
time's getting tight.

Pablo:
and cheyenne is still
quite a ways down river.

Tyrone
sure would be nice
if we had a ride.

(Distant drum b*at)

Hey! Drums!
I hear drums!

Do you hear it,
y'all?

Uniqua:
darn tootin'!

It's that cowboy drummer
on the raft again!

Hey cowboy!

Pablo:
hey! Mister drummer guy!

Tyrone
'scuse me, partner!

Uniqua:
he's so busy drumming
he can't hear us!

(Squeak, squeak)

Good idea, sherman!

If we all play
together,

Maybe he'll hear us.

Ready?

And a-one, and a-two...

(Play together)

(Finishes song)

Austin:
howdy, partners!

Tyrone
howdy!

We need to get
to the cheyenne polka palace.

Uniqua
if you could give us
a ride,

We'd be much obliged,
amigo.

Pablo:
we'd appreciate it, too.

Austin:
well, I'd love to give you
a ride.

Tyrone:
great!

Austin:
except, I can't stop.

Help! Help!

Don't worry!
We'll help you!

Pablo:
I've got just the thing.

Tyron:
pull, partners!

All:
heave! Ho!
Heave! Ho!

Thanks, partners!

Come on aboard!

Hi.
I'm cowboy tyrone.

And I'm cowgirl uniqua.

Cowboy pablo.

Sherman:
(squeaks)

Tyrone:
and he's sherman
the worman.

Howdy.
I'm cowboy austin.

(Squeaks)

Austin:
let's get moving
to cheyenne!

Tyrone:
say, cowboy austin,

How did you get stuck
on this raft?

Well, I was playing
my drums

And it sounded soooo pretty

That I let the oar slip off!

That could happen.

You know, it's
quite a coincidence

That you're
a cowboy drummer

And we're cowboy
musicians, too!

That is quite a coincidence.

Hey, we could be
a cowboy band.

Austin:
yeah. But there's
just one problem.

Pablo:
what's that?

The only kind of cowboy music

I know how to play is...
Polka.

All:
polka?!

What a coincidence!

Pablo:
that's exactly the kind
of music we play.

Uniqua:
let's try it!

Tyrone:
and a-one, and a-two...

**

* Dance little worman polka

Yip! Yip! Yip! Yip!

* Dance little worman polka

* Dance little worman polka

Yip! Yip! Yip! Yip!

(Long squeak)

You're right,
sherman.

Now we've got a full,

-Piece cowboy
polka band!

All:
hooray!

Uniqua
darn tootin'!

And we'll surely get
to cheyenne by sundown.

And when your brother
herman comes,

We'll all jump out
and yell, "surprise!"

* Oh we're floating,
down the river, *

* Just a cowboy polka band *

* We have found ourselves
a drummer, *

* Who will give our band
a hand *

* Gotta make it to a party,

* Just in time to yell
"surprise!" *

* Then we'll play
some polka music, *

* For the worman gals
and guys. *

* Oh my sherman,
oh my worman, *

* Don't you worry,
don't you fret *

* We will make it
to the party, *

* We will get there,
yeah you bet *

Hey, does our cowboy
polka band have a name?

Not yet.

(Squeaks)

That's a good name,
sherman,

The ramblin' polka cowboys!

All:
the ramblin' polka cowboys!

* Oh, we're floating
down the river, *

* Down to cheyenne,
that's the town *

* We're the ramblin'
polka cowboys, *

* Gonna rock
that polka down *

* Sundown's coming,
pretty soon now, *

* But we'll get there
just the same *

* We will please
those polka wormans, *

* And achieve great
polka fame *

* Oh my sherman,
oh my worman, *

* Don't you worry,
don't you fret *

* Sure the party starts
in minutes, *

* But we'll get there,

(Water rumbling)

Uh, partners?

I think we've got
a problem up ahead.

We do?

Austin:
now that's what I call
a big waterfall!

Pablo:
we're going to go
right over!

Tyron:
not if we jump first.

C'mon, sherman!

(Squeaks)

Tyrone
ready? One, two, three, jump!

Uniqua:
phew! We made it!

Our instruments!

All of our instruments
are on the raft.

Pablo...

My accordion!

My accordion is on the raft!
My accordion!

It's going to go
over the waterfall!

It's going to go over
the waterfall!

Tyrone:

Pablo:

Tyrone:

Uniqua:

Tyrone:

Austin:

Pablo:

(All sigh)

Tyrone:

got to get sherman

To the polka palace
in cheyenne.

Austin:

Tyrone:

We still have time

To surprise your brother,
sherman.

(Squeaks)

C'mon!

Other wormans:

in wyoming is in here.

Uniqua:

Pablo:

Austin:

Pablo:

Tyrone:

Uniqua:

(Squeaks)

The other wormans

And took them out?

And dried them off?

And set them up?

(Sherman squeaks)

Austin:

Tyrone:
they certainly are!

Uniqua:
darn tootin'!

Thanks, you wormans!

(Squeak-squeak meaning
"you're welcome")

Tyrone:

All:

Yeah!

(Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!)

He's coming!

Sherman's brother

When herman opens
the door,

We'll all yell,
"surprise!"

(Squeak, squeak)

Shhh!

All:

All:

(Squeaks)

(Cheering squeaks)

Tyrone:

special surprise for herman...

(Squeak, squeak, squeak)

Tyrone:

polka band

In all of wyoming.

Austin:

Pablo:

but they must be good.

Uniqua:

Telling me how

Uniqua:
