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 in
the backyard again *

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:
"catch that butterfly"

(Net swooshes through the air)

Is that it?

Oh, no.

'Tis a common housefly.

Ooh, is that it?

(Grunts)

No,

I believe that's
the giant leopard moth.

Heigh-ho, ol' chap!

It is i, professor pablo,

The world famous bug expert.

I travel the world

Looking for rare insects.

* But there is one bug
I have never seen *

* It's called the gilded
golden butterfly *

* I have to find
that butterfly *

* Why yes indeed, old chap,
it's true *

* Entomology's what I do

* That fancy word's
a fancy way *

* To say I study bugs
all day *

* I only stop
when I'm asleep *

* And even in my dreams
they creep *

* For I just love those bugs,
old bean, *

* There's hardly one
I haven't seen *

* But I've never seen
the gilded golden butterfly *

* I hope some day
to see one flutter by *

* Never seen
the gilded golden butterfly *

* I hope some day I shall

* Rhino beetles

* Roaches, fleas

* Wasps and gnats
and strange rare bees *

* Termites who can eat
whole trees *

* I've studied every single
one of these *

* I've been to madagascar *

* I've been to katmandu

* Just to inspect
a rare insect *

* I've been to cleveland too

* I've seen bugs in places
not on any map *

* I've met more of them
than any other chap *

* But I have never seen
the gilded golden butterfly *

* I hope some day
to see one flutter by *

* Never seen
the gilded golden butterfly *

* I hope some day

* I shall

Hmm, I feel a little tickle.

What's that?

Is it?

Could it be?

(Gasps)

It's the gilded
golden butterfly!

I must catch it!

(Grunts of effort)

I will follow it

To it's natural habitat,

The badlands
of the wild west...

With rocky mountains,

Tall pine trees,

And dusty roads.

There it is!

Oh dear!

I say! Come here!

How am I ever going
to catch that butterfly?

(Sound of approaching
horse-drawn carriage)

Uniqua and tyrone:
yee-haw! Giddy-up, you horses!
Giddy-up! Giddy-up now!

Yee-haw! Yee-haw!
(Hooves thunder)

Pablo:
I say!

Aha! Just the thing!

Wait! You there!

Stop,
I say!

(Whistles)

Whoa!

Whoa up there,
horses!

Tyrone:
howdy pardner.

I say, old chap.

How-dee to you too.

I am professor pablo.

Professor.

Howdy.

And I'm in need
of a ride.

Both:
oh!

Well,
that's our job!

We take people
where they want to go

In this here stagecoach.

Capital!

I have a very
difficult job

For you.

No job is too difficult
for us!

'Cause we're the toughest
stagecoach drivers

In the west!

Yee-haw!
Yee-haw!

Yes, but this
is a very,

Very, very,
difficult job;

The hardest you've ever done.

How hard can it be,
pardner?

Well, you see,

I need you to help me
catch a very rare,

Very sneaky,

Extraordinarily crafty...

Just say it!

Butterfly!

Both:
(laughing)

A butterfly?

You call that
a tough job?

Woo-wee,
now that's funny!

Well bug-collecting can be
very challenging.

I think we can handle it,
professor pablo.

* It'll be easy as pie

* 'Cause we're the toughest
stagecoach drivers *

* In the west

* There is no job too tough
for us folks *

* Yee-haw! Yee-haw!

* We're tough, tough, tough

* Yee-haw! Yee-haw!

* We're tough, tough, tough

* We're the toughest
stagecoach drivers *

* In the west

* Nope we're not
the only ones *

* But yup,
we are the best *

* Faster than
the desert wind *

* We'll get you there
and back *

* And when we hit
the dusty trail *

* The dusty trail
hits back *

* In other words,
we're tellin' ya *

* This road gets
kind of rough *

* But that don't bother us
at all *

Both:
* we're tough, tough, tough

* Yee-haw! Yee-haw!

* We're tough, tough, tough

* Pursuit of winged insects

* It's harder than
you'd guess *

* It leads,
upon occasion, *

* To some unpleasantness

* Well, we're not scared
of nothing *

* 'Cause we're not
scaredy guys *

* Specially not
of chasin' down *

* Some dinky butterflies

* We face down
big grizzly bears *

* And rattlesnakes
and stuff *

* Butterflies ain't nothin'
when you're... *

Tyrone and uniqua:
* tough, tough, tough

* Yee-haw! Yee-haw!

* We're tough, tough, tough *

* Yee-haw! Yee-haw!

* We're tough, tough, tough

* Our horses are strong

* Our reins are good
and long *

* Our stagecoach is sturdy

* Although it ain't real purty

* We're rough-riding coots

* With dusty hats and boots

* And if that ain't enough

* Did I mention that
we're tough? *

Tyrone and uniqua:
* yee-haw! Yee-haw!

* We're tough, tough, tough

* Yee-haw! Yee-haw!

* We're tough, tough, tough

* We're tough, tough, tough

* We're tough, we're tough

* We're tough, we're tough
we're tough, we're tough *

* We're tough, we're tough
we're tough *

* We're tough, tough,
tough, tough, tough *

* We're tough

* We're tough

The gilded golden butterfly!

After it, old chaps!

Come, come, come!

Uniqua:
okay, professor!

Let's go!

Both:
yee-haw! Giddy-up, you horses!
Giddy-up now!

(Hooves clopping)

There it is!
Onward, old chaps,

And hurry!

Whoa!

Whoa, horses!

Whoa, up there!

(Stagecoach skids to a stop)

I say!

Well, you know what
that is, pardner.

I surely do.

That there is the path
up menacing mountain.

(Gasps)

The butterfly!
It's getting away!

There's no steeper,

Slipperier,

More treacherous path

In the whole badlands!

Well, you just said
a mouthful there, pardner.

Tyrone:
it's not gonna be easy

Getting a stagecoach
up that path.

Onward, old chaps!

We must follow
that butterfly!

Well...

Uniqua and tyrone:
how hard can it be?

Whoa!

Tyrone:
after all, we are the toughest
stagecoach drivers

In the west!

Yee-haw!

H'ya! H'ya!

Pablo:
follow that butterfly!

(Grunts of effort)

Butterfly, here!

Come here!

Tyrone:
professor!

Uniqua:
sit down!

Whoa!

(Grunts of effort)

Come here!

Faster, old chaps! Faster!

We're going as fast
as we can!

Pablo:
almost got you!

Tyrone:
professor, watch out!

Whoa!

Tyrone:
get back inside!

Uniqua:
lean, pardner, lean!

(Stagecoach clanks
as it hits the road)

Ahhhh!

Ahhhh!

Whoa, horses!

Whoa, up there!

Phew.

Yee-haw!

Uniqua and tyrone:
yeah! Woooo!

The butterfly!

Tyrone:
we made it! 'Cause we're...

Uniqua and tyrone:
the toughest stagecoach drivers
in the west!

Pablo:
I must catch that butterfly!
(Tyrone and uniqua cheer)

Come here!

(Horse nickers)

Ah. Now I've got you.

(Horse nickers)

(Chuckling)

Professor, no!

Uniqua:
don't scare the...

(Horses whinny wildly)

Horses.

(Wild whinnying)

I must catch that butterfly!

(Clopping of hooves)

Holy guacamole!

Both:
our stagecoach!

Uniqua:
run, pardner, run!

Tyrone:
you said a mouthful!

Pablo:
the butterfly!

(Rumble of stagecoach,
clomp of hooves)

Tyrone:
faster!

Uniqua:
jump!

Tyrone:
c'mon, professor!

Uniqua:
whew!

That was some
hard running!

Most strenuous.

(Loud clunks)

Are you driving
the stagecoach?

Nope.

Are you driving
the stagecoach?

Um, no.

I'm certainly not driving
this stagecoach, old chaps.

Uh oh.

All:
aahhhhhhh!

(Skids to a halt)

All:
aaaaaaaaaah!
I saaaaaaaaay!

(Horse whinnies)

All:
whhoooaa!

(Splash)

Well I'll be
hornswoggled!

You said a mouthful there,
pardner.

We're not supposed
to ride this thing

In the water.

Pablo:
I say.

The gilded golden butterfly!

After it!

Hold up there,
professor.

Well, pardner,

You know
what those are.

I surely do.

Why those are
the rockiest,

The raging-est,

The rapid-est rapids
in the badlands.

Capital!
We'll go nice and fast!

It's gonna be hard
to float a stagecoach

Down these here rapids.

Well, how hard can it be?

**

Tyrone and uniqua:
* how hard can it be

* To help this
ol' professor guy *

Tyrone and uniqua:
* how hard can it be

* To catch this
dog-gone butterfly *

Uniqua:
* our stage coach went
and lost its wheels *

* And that's a big annoyance

Tyrone:
* we're kind of lucky,
even so, *

* At least it's
got some bouyance *

* Tyrone and uniqua:
how hard can it be *

* How hard can it be

Uh oh.

What oh?

Uniqua:
that!

Duck!

All:
whoa!
I say!

Tyrone and uniqua:
* how hard can it be

* To keep this coach
from cracking up *

Tyrone and uniqua:
* how hard can it be

* Our bad luck
sure is stacking up *

Uniqua:
* now our stagecoach
ain't so snug *

* It hasn't got a top

Tyrone:
* plus we're still
a-floatin' here *

* And don't know
how to stop *

Tyrone and uniqua:
* so how hard can it be

* How hard can it be

I say, old chaps!

Tyrone and uniqua:
yikes! Hold on!

Uniqua:
hold on, professor!

(Wood cracks)

Uniqua:
* every time
we think it's bad *

* It just gets even worse

* Maybe we should
stop this song *

* Let's do just
one more verse *

Tyrone and uniqua:
* how hard can it be

Tyrone:
* to get this dopey insect
caught *

Tyrone and uniqua:
* how hard can it be

* A whole lot harder
than we thought *

Tyrone:
* we've hardly got
a coach at all *

* We're looking pretty sorry

Pablo:
* at least we've got
a lovely view *

* To help us
find our quarry *

* Could things get any worse
than this *

* I just can't
figure how *

* So if we want
to save our skins *

* We better do it now!

Tyrone and uniqua:
* how hard can it be

* How hard can it be

Tyrone:
* harder than
we thought it was *

Uniqua:
* man, you're tellin' me!

Pablo:
aha!

Tyrone and uniqua:
whoa! Hey!

Tyrone:
hey, do you hear something?

Uniqua:
like what?

(Water rushes)

Uniqua:
yikes!

(Water rushes)

Pablo:
the butterfly!

I've got youuuuuuuuu!

Tyrone and uniqua:
ahhhhhhhhhhhh!

(Splashing)

Woo-hoo!

How invigorating!

You said a mouthful there,
pardner.

Tyrone:
well, I guess we better
get to swimming.

(Pants)
we made it.

That was quite a swim,
wouldn't you say?

I certainly would.

Wasn't that quite a swim,
professor?

Professor?

Professor!

Both:
professor?!

The butterfly!

Uniqua:
hold on there, professor!

That's the canyon wall
of doom!

Why it's the steepest,

Most crumbly canyon wall
in the west!

Nobody can make it
to the top!

Don't dilly dally!

The butterfly
is getting away!

Well,
how hard can it be?

Seriously?

Really hard.

Both:
(sigh)

(Grunts of effort)

This sure is
one crumbly canyon.

(Rocks crumble down
the canyon face)

You said a mouthful there,
pardner.

(Snap)

Uh oh.

Whoa!

Uniqua:
just a minute there,
pardner!

Grab on!

(Crumbles)

(Cracks and crumbles)

Uh oh.

Tyrone:
now what?

Pablo:
I say, old chaps!

This is no time
to hang around!

We must catch
that butterfly!

(Grunts of effort)

Uniqua and tyrone:
whoooaaa!

Both:
yee-haw! We did it!

Thanks,
professor.

Tyrone:
I thought we were goners!

My pleasure,
old chaps.

Now, let's get after
that butterfly!

Pablo:
* I've got you!

* I've got you!

* I've got you!

Pablo:
* we almost had it

* We almost caught it

* We almost netted
that beautiful butterfly *

* But then it fluttered away
in the desert sky *

* And now I'm just so
disappointed I could cry *

Uniqua and tyrone:
* 'cause we have been chasing

* That butterfly
all up and down *

* And low and high de-digh-
de-digh-de-digh-de-digh *

* All through the desert *

* Through the desert

* All through the canyons
and rivers we searchify *

* Beautiful butterfly

* Magical butterfly

* But now you're gone
and I'm a really, really, *

* Really, really
disappointed guy *

Uniqua and tyrone:
* disappointed guy

Pablo:
* yes I am a disappointed,
disappointed guy *

Uniqua and tyrone:
* disappointed guy

* Yes, because I really want
to catch the butterfly *

Uniqua and tyrone:
* as for us,
we're just feeling sore *

Uniqua:
* and we don't want to follow
the butterfly anymore *

* Sore, yes we're sore

* And our stagecoach
has been demolished *

* Sore, yes we're sore *

* I wish bug hunting
was abolished *

* Wait

* Wait

* Look

* Oh, I see something
flying over there now *

* Where?

* There?

* Yes!

* Oh, I see golden wings
up in the air now *

* Go!

* Go!

Uniqua and tyrone:
* go!

Uniqua:
* and rustle up
that pesky little critter *

Pablo:
* butterfly,
this isn't over yet *

* 'Cause I can see you
and I bet *

* That I will catch you
with my net *

* Yes, you're the thing
I came to get! *

**

**

**

The butterfly!

There it is!

I must catch that butterfly!

Uniqua and tyrone:
no! No! No! No! No!

(Gasp)

Uniqua:
uh oh...

All:
aaaahhhhhhhh!

Tyrone:
hang on!

All:
ahhhhh!

All:
(impact grunts)

Pablo and uniqua:
careful! Watch out!

All:
whoooooaa!

Help!!!

All:
aaahhh!

Aaahhhh!

All:
oof!

(Wobbly groans)

(Wobbly goaning)

Uniqua:
oof!

Ow!

Oof!

(Gasps)

(Gasps)

The butterfly!

Oh my!
It is the butterfly!

Right before my very nose!

Right on my very nose!

Professor pablo...

Where's my jar?
Where's my net?

I must catch it!

I must catch
the gilded golden butterfly!

Oh boy, oh boy!

Uniqua and tyrone:
professor pablo!

Yes?

Grab it!

Oh. Oh, right.

I've done it!

The gilded golden butterfly
is mine at last!

Yahoo!

You did do it!

Wow.

I've never seen
anything like it!

It's amazing!

(Wings shimmer)

Wait!
What are you doing?

I wanted to catch
the gilded golden butterfly,

Not keep it.

After all,

A jar is no place
for a butterfly.

Tyrone:
that certainly is
a beautiful butterfly.

Amazing.

(Stomach gurgles)

All that butterfly
chasing

Has made me hungry,
old chaps.

Let's go to my house

For some grilled cheese
sandwiches.

You said a mouthful
there, pardner!

Mm! Grilled cheese.

Let's go!

Pablo:
I say, old chaps!

All:
(giggling)

That was a pretty tough
stagecoach adventure,

Don't ya think?

Sure was!

I say you're right,
old chap!

* We've got the whole wide world
in our yard to explore! *

* Now it's time for us
to have a snack *

* Meet you next time

When we're back
with your friends,

* The backyardigans!

Pablo:
see you later!

Uniqua:
later!

Tyrone:
see you next time!

Pablo:
hi-ho, old chaps!
