02x06 - The Secret of Snow

Post by 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 *

Backyardigans:
"the secret of snow"

Austin: (narration)
once upon a time...

There was a little girl

Who loved snow very,
very much.

I love snow!

Very, very much!

I love to sled in it,

Catch snowflakes
on my tongue,

And make snow angels.

There's nothing I love more

Than playing in the snow.

(Jingle bells begins)

* I love snow,
I love snow *

* Falling from the sky

* Love to see
a blizzard piling *

* White stuff really high

* Oh! I love snow,
I love snow *

* Nothing quite as nice *

* Snow forts, snow men,
snow angels *

* And snow cats
and snow mice *

* One thing that I'd love

* One thing I'd like to know

* What's the secret recipe

* For starting up the snow!
Snow-snow-snow! *

* Not sure how it's done

* On that I'm not
quite clear *

* But if I could
just find out how *

* I'd make it snow all year!

* Oh! I love snow,
I love snow *

* Piled up cold and sweet *

* Get that snow plow
started up *

* And roaring down
the street *

* Oh! I love snow,
I love snow *

* Why can't it snow now? *

* Sure would love
to make it snow *

* I just don't
quite know how! *

(Sighs) I wish I knew
the secret of snow.

Austin:
well, I don't know
if there is a secret of snow,

But there is someone
who might know.

Really?
Please tell me.

I'll do anything
to make it snow!

Austin:
well, um...

Please?

Austin:
well, I guess it would be
okay to tell you.

Oh, goody!

Austin:
her name's the ice lady

And she lives way up
in the icy north.

She might know
the secret of snow.

Okay!
I'm on it!

Ice lady,
here I come!

Austin:
so off she went
to the icy north,

A cold, unfriendly place
with barren trees,

Frozen mountains,
and gloomy grey skies.

That must be the ice lady's
factory!

I'm almost there!

**

Austin: (narration)
meanwhile,
inside the ice factory,

The ice lady
and her assistant

Were hard at work

Making the world icy.

Assistant austin,

Prepare to ice
the forest!

Go!

Yes, ice lady.

Prepare to ice
the park.

Go!

Ah, perfect!

Totally icy!

You know what
I always say.

(Sighs)
yes, ice lady.

"To make
the world nice..."

"Fill it up
with ice!"

(To the tune of
"good king wenceslas")

* When the world
is bright and warm *

* I don't find it
pleasing *

* That's why
I won't stop until *

* Everything is freezing

* You can call me
ice lady *

* If you say it nicely

* Just one thing
I'm here to do: *

* Make the planet
iiii-cey! *

* To make
the world nice, *

* Fill it up
with ice! *

* To make
the world nice, *

* Fill it up
with ice! *

* Freeze the ponds
and freeze the streams *

* Freeze the lakes
and rivers *

* Freeze the farms
and freeze the towns *

* Till everyone shivers

* Oceans that were watery *

* Now are frozen rigid *

* Winter isn't winter till

* Everything is fri-i-gid!

* Sure the cold is good

* Sure the winter's nice *

* But maybe we should have
a change of pace *

* From the ice

* Maybe something softer

* Maybe something whiter *

* Something that's
as cold as ice *

* But falls
a little lighter *

Like what?
Get back to work!

* Make the cubes
and make them fast *

* Or else I'll get cranky

* I gave you
this crucial job *

* You don't have
to thank me *

* Ice cubes, ice cubes,
all day long *

* Cold and hard
and tinkly *

* Speed it up
or you'll be here *

* 'Til you're old
and wri-i-nk-ly! *

* To make
the world nice, *

* Fill it up
with ice! *

* To make
the world nice, *

* Fill it up
with ice! *

Assistant austin,

This is our busiest
time of year!

I'm counting on you
to make ice

And keep on making ice!

No time to relax,
no time for play,

No time for any
interruptions.

(Doorbell rings)

Someone's at the door!

Oh, for goodness sakes!

It's an interruption!

Hello! Ice lady?

Anybody home?

Who in the name of ice
is that?

I don't know,
but she looks friendly.

Friendly?

We don't have time
for friends!

We've got ice
to make!

But, but...

This'll get rid
of her!

You're sending her
to the desert?

But that's so far away!

That's right!
No interruptions!

Whoa!
What's happening?

Whooaa!

That took care
of her.

Now, back to work!

(Sighs)

Uniqua:
oof!

I'm in the desert!

How'd I get here?

I've got to get back
to the icy north.

Which way is north?

Pablo:
ah-aahhhhh!

Oh, I'll ask that
running cowboy.

Hey, wait up!

Excuse me!

(Out of breath)
hi, I'm uniqua!

(Western accent)
cowboy pablo, ma'am.

Pleasure to meet ya.

Um, I was wondering,

Can you tell me
which way is north?

No time for questions,
ma'am.

Look!

(Gasps)
a twister!

Run!
It's gaining on us!

Come on!

Uniqua and pablo:
ahhhhhh!

Ahhhhh!

Uniqua:
run faster!

Run!

They need help!

I have to do something.

I know,
I'll use the ice!

Both:
(gasp)

Uh oh!

Well ma'am,
looks like we're goners.

Prepare to ice
the twister!

(Strong wind blows)

Look out!

Tarnation!

Uniqua:
(grunt of exertion)

Hey look!

It's frozen!

Well,
I'll be hornswoggled!

How'd that happen?

I don't know.

Strange stuff has been
happening all day.

Is this snow?

No, that's just ice.

Snow is so much better.

I've always wanted
to play in the snow,

Maybe make a snowman.

Why don't you come with me
to the icy north.

We can ask the ice lady
to make it snow.

("Jingle bells" tune begins)

* Come on,
cowboy guy *

* Join me on my quest

* Heading north
sounds good *

* I'm ti-red of the west!
Hey-hey-hey! *

* It's a long,
long way, *

* But if we move
real fast *

* I'll get to make
a snowman *

* And I'll eat snow cones
at last *

Uniqua:
* oh!

* You'll love snow,
you'll love snow *

* It's the best of all

* Come with me
and we'll head north *

* And get that snow
to fall *

* Oh!

Uniqua and pablo:
* we love snow,
we love snow... *

Austin: (narration)
and so uniqua and her
new friend cowboy pablo,

Set off for the icy north.

Meanwhile, back at
the ice lady's factory...

We must work faster,
austin!

(Doorbell rings)

Oh,
for the love of ice!

Another interruption!

(Doorbell rings)

Her again!

And look, she brought
a cowboy with her.

We don't have time
for interruptions.

But boss,
wouldn't it be nice

To invite them in?

Nice?

I don't care
about "nice".

I care about ice!

I guess the desert wasn't
far enough away for her.

Well, let's see
how she likes this.

Oh no!
Not the jungle!

Oh no!
Not again!

What's happening?

Both:
whoaaaaaaa!

Oof!

Where are we?

Looks like we're
in the middle

Of the jungle!

Well, I'll be hornswoggled!

We were just
in the icy north!

(Sighs) yeah.

Now we're really
far away.

Well then, we better
get to gettin'!

Let's head north.

Eh!

Whoa!

Pablo:
how are we ever going
to get across this?

I know!
We'll swing across!

Swing across?

Yeah!

On a vine.

It'll be easy!

Okay...

Oookaaaay!

Pablo:
oh no!

Uniqua:
whoooaa!

Don't worry,
I got you!

Uniqua:
ahhhhh!

Both:
aaaahhh!

Uniqua:
ah?

You know,
I think we're stuck.

Tyrone:
(tarzan yell)

Hang on!
I'm coming!

(Tarzan yell)
ahh-ahhh-ahhh-ahhhh!

All:
(screaming)

Well, hello there.
I'm uniqua,

And this is my friend,
cowboy pablo.

Howdy pardner.

I'm tyrone
of the jungle,

And I think we may be
a little too heavy.

All:
whoa!

Yeah, we're definitely
too heavy.

All these interruptions!

At our busiest time
of year!

I'm going downstairs
to check the inventory.

Austin:
(gasps)

Oh no!

This vine can't hold us
much longer!

Yup,
we're goners.

All:
uh-oh! Ahhhhhhh!

Ahhhhhhhh!

Whooaaa!

Whoooooaaaaa!
Woo-hoo!

Oof!

Wow!

That was unusual.

It certainly was.

Was that snow?

No,
that's just ice.

I hear snow
is much better.

I've always wanted
to play in snow.

Why don't you come
with us?

We're going
to the icy north

To see the ice lady.

And ask her
the secret of snow.

(To the tune
of "jingle bells")

* Come on,
jungle dude *

* Join us
on our trip *

* Jungle life's too hot

* The snow sounds pretty hip!
Hip-hip-hip! *

* We've got far
to go *

* But if we really run,

* We can do some sledding

* And catch snowflakes
on our tongue! *

* Oh!

* You'll love snow,
you'll love snow *

* Nothing's quite
as great! *

* Let's go way up north

* And then make it
precipitate *

* Oh!

All:
* we love snow,
we love snow... *

Austin: (narration)
and so...
Uniqua, cowboy pablo,

And their new friend
tyrone of the jungle

Start their long journey
back to the icy north.

Meanwhile, back at
the ice lady's factory...

Tasha:
we're running low on ice?

This can't be!

She's back!

The ice lady's going
to be really mad now!

I have to warn them.

We're behind schedule,
assistant austin.

We have to work harder!

Austin?

More interruptions!

Come with me!
Hurry!

Quick!
This way,

Before the ice lady
sees you!

Tasha:
too late!

I can see you,

You... Interruptions.

Both:
(gasp)

Uniqua:
what should we do now?

Hmm...

Run!

You asked for it!

Through here!

Tasha:
not so fast!

All:
yikes!

This way!

Tasha:
I don't think so!

No! This way!

(Ice crackles
as it freezes over)

All:
whoooooaa!

Uh-oh.

Now we're in
trouble.

Tasha:
you... Interruptions.

You thought you could
show up here

And ring my doorbell,
and interrupt me!

But you were wrong.

Uniqua:
but, ice lady,
we only came here to-

No more interruptions!

Make ice!

(Sighs)

All we ever do around here
is make ice.

You know, making ice
isn't so bad.

Yeah, check this out!

Austin:
wow! How-how'd you do that?

And look at this.

(Chuckles)

When I'm with
you guys,

I like making ice!

(To the tune of
"deck the halls")

All:
(giggling and laughing)

All:
* make the ice all frozen
and chilly *

* Fa-la-la-la-la,
la-la la la *

* Make the ice bizarre
and silly *

* Fa-la-la-la-la,
la-la la la! *

* Icy shapes
all strange and funky *

* Fa-la-la, la-la-la,
la la la! *

* This one looks
just like a monkey *

* Fa-la-la-la-la,
la-la la la! *

Tasha:
whoa! Wait a minute!

(To the tune of
"good king wenceslas")

* Hey, they're having fun
in there *

* What the heck's
the matter? *

* I don't like
to see them smile *

* Or hear their
happy patter *

* They think it's
some kind of game *

* Goofing off and clowning

* Now I'm turning up
the speed *

* That will get them
frow-ning! *

* To make the world nice,

* Fill it up with ice!

* To make the world nice, *

* Fill it up with ice!

Uniqua: ("jingle bells" tune)
* now the ice is moving faster

All:
* fa-la-la-la-la,
la-la la la! *

Pablo:
* it's a challenge
we can master *

All:
* fa-la-la-la-la,
la-la la la! *

* Once this job
was so annoying *

All:
* fa-la-la, la-la-la,
la la la! *

* Now it's something
I'm enjoying *

All:
* fa-la-la-la-la,
la-la la la! *

(Laughing)

Oh, really?
Enjoy this!

("Good king wenceslas")

(Whistles blow
on the ice machine)

Uh-oh.

(Pops)

(Rumbling)

Pablo and tyrone:
it stopped!

Austin:
look!

Tasha:
oh, for goodness sakes!

Oh no! Ice lady!

We've got to help her!

Pull, you guys!

All:
(grunts of effort)

Whoooaaaaa!

Oof!

Are you okay?

You...
You saved me!

Of course I did.

That's what friends
are for.

Friends?

Hello.
I'm uniqua.

Hello.

Pablo:
I'm cowboy pablo.

Tyrone of the jungle.

Uniqua:
we didn't mean
to interrupt you.

We just wanted
to ask you

If you knew anything
about the secret of snow.

Secret of snow?

I don't know
the secret of snow.

You don't?
I...

Pablo:
but...

We all...

Want it to snow.

I'm sorry.

I really wish I could
make it snow,

But I can't.

I can only make ice.

All:
(sad sighs)

Oh guys,
I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I brought
you guys here

To this cold place

And I'm sorry I interrupted
your work, ice lady.

And I'm really,
really sad

It's not going
to snow.

Pablo:
well, I'm not sad.

Hey,
me either.

We got to have
some adventures.

And laugh.

And make some
new friends!

Yeah!

I even made some friends!

I'd say it's been
a pretty nice day!

Pablo:
even if we didn't find out
the secret of snow.

Really?

* The secret of snow

* The secret of snow

* The secret is something

* I wanted to know *

* But all of us

* Are playing together

* We're going
to be happy *

* Whatever the weather

* The sun could be
shining *

Tasha:
* a blizzard could blow

All:

* You don't care about snow

Uniqua:

Uniqua:

* Better to care

* Care for those great friends
you've go-o-ot... *

**

* I still like snow

* Still wish it would fall *

Pablo:
* but it seems
there's no secret, *

* No secret at all

* I'll smile
at the snowflakes *

* Or sunny blue skies

Tasha:
* I'll smile 'cause of you, *

* 'Cause of all you guys

* It's you guys
who give me *

* That wintery glow

Pablo:

of snow in the backyard,

Cowboy pablo

Got to see snow

And the ice lady stopped
worrying about ice

Long enough to make
some new friends.

And i...

Well I like snow too!

Tasha:

(To the tune of
"jingle bells")
