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 *

All:
"a giant problem."

Tasha:

Boom! Boom!

Boom! Boom!

Boom! (Thud)

Boom! Boom!

Boom! Boom!

Boom! Boom!

Yoo-hoo!

Hellooooo down there!

I'm tasha the giant.

That means I'm really,
really, really...

Big!

**

* Nobody's bigger
than a giant *

* Nobody's quite
as large as me *

* Nobody's bigger
than a giant *

* I'm humongous

* Wouldn't you agree? *

* I'm large,
I'm huge *

* Enormous,
tall and grand *

* I could pick up
your whole house *

* And hold it in my hand

* I'm wider than a valley

* And taller than a tower

* I could lift
an apple tree *

* And sniff it
like a flower *

* I'm vast,
immense *

* Hefty and gigantic

* I'm bigger
than the oceans *

* Pacific and atlantic

* My hands can reach
the planets *

* My nose can sniff
a cloud *

* And when I stomp
my giant feet *

* The sound is really loud

* 'Cause nobody's bigger
than a giant *

* Nobody's quite
as large as me *

* Nobody's bigger
than a giant *

* I'm humongous

* Wouldn't you agree?

* I'm humongous

* Wouldn't you agree

Ah, what a lovely day.

I think I'll go
for a little walk.

Who knows?

Maybe I'll meet some new
friends along the way.

* La la la la la...
Doo dee doo dooo... *

Off I go for a stroll
through the countryside.

Where there are
tall pine trees,

And rolling green hills,

And mountains that are huge...

Like me!

(Feet stomping)
* do dee doo dee doo... *

* La la la la laaa...

(Sniffs)

Ahhh, that smells lovely.

* Do dee doo dee doo...

* La la la laaa...

Ooh.

What a pretty little village!

And an adorable little castle!

Yoo-hoo!

Hello!

I wonder if there's
anybody there?

I'm sure they'd
like to meet

A nice big giant like me.

**

* Nobody's bigger
than a giant *

* Nobody's quite
as large as me *

* Nobody's bigger
than a giant *

* I'm humongous

* Wouldn't you agree? *

* I'm large,
I'm huge *

* Spacious and colossal

* I could pick up
a dump truck *

* And park it
in my nostril *

* I'm roomy as a stadium

* More sprawling
than a city *

* Next to me a skyscraper

* Appears quite itty bitty

* I'm vast,
immense *

* Ample and inflated

* I could cover up the sun

* And keep the whole world
shaded *

* And if you care
to meet me *

* You'll like me
from the start *

* 'Cause nothing
on me's larger *

* Than my big
ol' giant heart *

* Nobody's bigger
than a giant *

* Nobody's quite
as large as me *

* Nobody's bigger
than a giant *

* I'm humongous

* Wouldn't you agree? *

* I'm humongous

* Wouldn't you agree *

Yoo-hoooo!

You know,

I think I'll go over
to that village

And say hello.

(Feet stomping)

All right,
wizard pablo.

Ready to practice
our magic spells?

Ready,
wizard tyrone.

Let's try the flying
hat spell.

Okay.

So first we chant
the magic words...

And then we wave
our magic wands...

And hopefully the hats
will fly onto our heads.

Well,
here goes nothing.

"Bim sala-boom
and a loaf of bread!"

"Hat fly up
upon my head!"

Both:
uh oh.

Look out!

Whoa!

(Bottles clanking)

(Hats whooshing)

Whoa!

(Giggles)
whoa!

Ah!

(Whooshing stops)

Phew.

Hey!
That's not my head!

It certainly isn't.

Aw, man.

Why can't we get
any magic spells right?

Being a wizard
is hard work, pablo.

It takes lots
of practice.

**

* It's hard to be
so hard to be *

* Yeah,
hard to be a wizard *

* Living the life
of magic *

* Can be so very tragic

* 'Cause it's hard to be

* So yeah,
hard to be *

* Yeah,
so hard to be a wizard *

* We practice
all our spells *

* We always do our best

* But we never
get it right *

* We mess up every test

* I say the magic words

* And wave my magic wand

* But nothing seems
to happen *

* It doesn't quite respond

* When we try to fly

* We end up
on the floor *

* And when we try
to stay real still *

* We fly right out
the door *

(Whoosh)
(landing thud)

**

* It's hard to be
so hard to be *

* Yeah,
hard to be a wizard *

* Living the life
of magic *

* Can be so very tragic

* 'Cause it's hard to be

* So, yeah hard to be

* Yeah,
so hard to be a wizard *

(Phone rings)

(Ringing)

The crystal ball
is ringing.

(Ringing)

Hello?

Wizards!
Come quick!

Both:
queen uniqua?

Why is the queen
calling us?

I don't know,
she never calls us.

That's weird.

Maybe it's
the wrong number.

Uniqua:
silence!

Both:
yes queen uniqua.

Listen up, wizards.

I need you to come
to my castle -

Now!

Both:
yes queen uniqua!

What could the queen
need us for?

I don't know,
but we better hurry.

Wanna try a magic spell
to get us to the castle?

Okay.
Here goes nothing.

"A bistle, a bustle
a tissle, a tassle!"

"Send us
to the castle!"

(Poof)

Pablo:
hmmm. This isn't exactly
what I had in mind.

Tyrone:
nope.

Maybe we should
have walked.

Yeah,
maybe we should have.

(Straggling grunts)

Both:
your majesty.

What took you so long?!

Well,
we tried this spell...

Funny story, actually,
we ended up on...

Never mind!
It's not important!

Yes queen uniqua.
Not important.

Good point.
We're getting carried away.

Silence!

Listen up, wizards

Something terrible
has happened.

There is...

A giant in my kingdom.

Yooo-hoooo!

That's a big giant.

It certainly is.

Yes,

And it's up to you
to get rid of her.

Both:
us?

Yes, you!

It's almost time
for my royal nap,

And I simply cannot sleep
with a giant stomping about.

But...

But...

No buts!

Get rid of that giant!

Both:
yes queen uniqua.

Now!

Both:
yes queen uniqua.

**

Tasha:
* la dee da.
La dee da de da *

This is bad!

I know.

We don't know how
to get rid of a giant.

I know.

But if we don't do it,
the queen will be mad.

I know.

Why do you keep
saying that?

I don't know.

Why haven't you wizards
left yet?

Go!

Both:
yes queen uniqua!

**

(Panting)

Pablo:
it'll take forever
to walk to the mountains.

Wanna fly?

Really?

You wanna try that
crazy flying spell?

How'd that go again?

I think we point our
wands at the ground.

Oh, right.

And then we say...

"Fippity foopity
pecan pie!"

"Magic wands,
make us fly!"

Both:
whoa!

Ahhhhh!

Pablo:
we're going too high!

Tyrone:
turn it around!

Both:
aaaaah!

Whooaaa!
Whooaaa!

Whoa!!!!

Whooaaa!
Whooaaa!

I can't steer!

Neither can i!

Oh oh.
Doh.

Both:
queen uniqua's castle!

Turn!
Turn!

Wrong way!
Wrong way!

Phew.

You're still here?!

Both:
sorry queen uniqua.

Go!

Both:
yes queen uniqua.

Pablo:
come on, tyrone!

Tyrone:
yeah!

We got it now,
pablo.

Pablo:
yeah! Yuppie!

Tyron:
woo hoo! All right!

The giant!

Almost there!

Just hold on tight!

(Power shorting out)

Both:
huh?

Uh oh.

Spell's over.

Aaaaahhhh!

(Pained grunts)

(Landing thud)
oof.

(Huffs)

That was quite
a ride.

Yeah.

Let's take a rest
on this big red rock.

Good idea.

This is a strange rock.

It certainly is.

Uh... P-p-pablo?

Yeah?

This is not a rock.

Yoo-hoo!

Ahhhhhh!

Giannnnnnnt!

(Giggles)

Maybe those nice
itty bitty people

Wanna play tag.

I'm it!

I'm gonna get you!

(Giggles)

* La dee da de da...

Both:
aaaah!

Giant! Giant!

Ahhhhh!

Ahhhh!

Ahhhhh! Run!

What's going on out there?!

Oh, I'll never get my nap.

Ahhhhh!

(Giggles)

That giant's
gonna eat us!

Or maybe she's
gonna squish us.

Or maybe she's gonna
squish us

Then eat us.

Or eat us
then squish us.

We gotta get rid
of her!

But how?

We'll just have to use
every magic spell we know.

Come on!

**

* We'll try every spell

* Every spell

* Every spell
and it'll be swell *

* If a spell works well,
yeah, *

* We'll try every spell
that we know *

* I know a spell
called the changeroo *

* And what exactly
does it do? *

* Changes the giant
into something new *

Both:
* something new

* Something new

* Changes the giant
into something new *

I say we change
the giant

Into something warm
and cuddly -

Like a sheep!

Sure.
Repeat after me!

* Changeroo!

* Your shape
you don't keep *

* Changeroo

Both:
* the giant is a sheep!

(Snoring)

She's not a sheep.

Both:
she's asleep.

Look out!

Whoa!

* I know a spell
to help us here *

* What's it do,
I'm not clear *

* It'll make
the giant disappear *

Both:
* disappear

* Disappear

* It'll make
the giant disappear! *

Repeat after me!

* Disappear!

* And don't come
back tonight! *

Both:
* disappear!

* The giant's out
of sight! *

(Poof)

Pablo:
aw, man!

We disappeared.

Re-appear!

Both:
nice to see you.

I know a spell.

Well, what is it?

* It'll make
the giant go away *

Both:
* go away!

* Go away!

* It'll make
the giant go away *

Repeat after me.

Both:
* go away!

* We bid you adieu *

* Go away

* Off to someplace new!

(Poof)

(Coughing)

Did she go away?

Nope. We did.

I think we're
in the north pole.

Aw, man. Now what?

I'll get us back.

(Poof)

(Coughing)

Tyrone:
yikes!

Now we're even
further away!

Let me try.

(Poof)

(Gasp)

Both:
sorry queen uniqua!

(Poof)

Now where are we?

Both:
giant head!

Tasha:
ooh, that tickles.

(Laughs)

Whoa!
Whoa!

Whoaaaaa!

(Splash)

(Relieved sigh)

Tasha:
yoo-hoo!

Both:
giant hand!

Ahhhhh!

Ahhhhhh!

Run pablo!

(Giggles)

Both:
whoa!

Whoa!

We gotta get out
of here.

Fast!

We need horses.

Good thinking.

Here goes nothing:

"Neigh neigh neigh!"

"Horses appear
and take us away!"

(Poof)

Aw, man.

I told you being
a wizard wasn't easy.

Tasha:
yoo-hooo!

Ooh, look at the itty bitty
little horses.

How adorable!

Hello!

* La la laaa...
Do dee doo... *

(Panicked whinny)

* La la la la la
do de do do *

**

Pablo as horse:
uh oh, look!

(Skid to a stop)

Well, well, well.

Now I've seen
everything!

Both:
hi, queen uniqua.

(Yawns)

You see that?

That's my royal yawn!

Which means
I'm royally tired

And I need to take
my royal nap.

Both:
yes queen uniqua.

So you better quit
your horsin' around

And get rid of that giant.

Because if you don't
get rid of her,

Then I'll get rid of you!

Both:
yes, queen uniqua.

"No more horses,
cows or lizards!"

"Switch us back
to normal wizards!"

(Poof)

(Coughing)

(Footsteps thump)

Both:
uh oh.

* La la la...

The giant's
almost here!

We have to stop her!

What other magic
spells do we know?

The only other one
I know

Is the "same size spell."

The same size spell?

Are you crazy?!

That's the hardest
spell ever!

Tasha:
yoo-hoo!

I know,
but we have to try it.

Well,
here goes nothing.

"Surprise! Surprise!
Surprise!"

Both:
"make us all
the exact same size!"

Tyrone:
it's working!

Now just steer the bubbles
up to the giant!

And when the bubbles
hit the giant

She'll be the same
size as us?

Tyrone:
exactly!

Oh my!
Itty bitty bubbles!

I love blowing bubbles.

(Laughs)

(Inhales, blows)

(Claps)
yay! Bubbles!

Both:
(gasp) no! Make them go
the other way!

The other way!

Run!

Both:
we're giants!

Tasha:
I'm gonna get you!

Both:
aaaaahhh!

(Giggles)

Both:
aaaaahhh!

Both:
aaaaahhh!

(Thumping)
what's all that racket?!

I can't sleep!

Run! Run!

She's going to get us!

Tasha:
tag! You're it!

(Laughs)

Tag?

Yoo-hoo!
Come and get me!

I guess she's
not gonna squish us.

Or eat us.

She just wants
to play with us.

That sounds kinda fun.

But tyrone,
what about the queen?

She'll be awfully mad

If she catches us
playing with the giant.

Hmm.
That's true.

But I have an idea.

(Whispering)

At last... Peace and quiet!

(Thumping, rumbling)

(Sighs) never mind.

(Gasps)

Both:
hi, queen uniqua.

More giants!

(Thumping)

Uniqua:
hey!

Put me down!

I order you
to put me down!

I told you to get
rid of the giant,

Not make more giants!

Ooh. Look at the itty
bitty queen!

What kind of wizards
are you, anyway?

Tyrone:
we're good wizards.

Watch this!

Ready giant
wizard pablo?

Ready giant
wizard tyrone!

Both:
"surprise! Surprise!
Surprise!"

"Make us all
the exact same size!"

Huh?

Pablo:
tyrone, we did it!

We finally got
a spell right!

I knew we could do it.

I'm a giant.

Tag!
You're it!

(Giggling)

Who needs a nap?

I can sleep anytime.
