Post by bunniefuu »

[Music]

i'll never forget that morning

that terrible morning when disaster

struck

[Music]

hey pal

mom told me what happened

really sorry

oh

pete

death

is a part of life you know that

oh hey hey hey you remember when you

accidentally laminated snipper mom's

parrot

oh i'm sorry i'm just trying to cheer

you up

i know

it's just there was still so much stuff

we wanted to do

and now

it's dead

i know what you're thinking

how can a penny die

easy when it's a lucky two-headed penny

pete's penny was the ultimate good luck

charm

strong enough to rescue him from over

carbonated cherry splurge

[Applause]

powerful enough to ward off evil mutants

armed with cold w*r weaponry

[Music]

but that morning

pete knew the spleen sucking truth it's

dead pete

it's out of luck

are you sure

yeah

i'm sure

[Music]

have you picked me

[Music]

yes

[Music]

oh

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

this is the story of a kid and his penny

no ordinary kid no ordinary penny

unfortunately

luck had run out for both of them

it all started for pete with a sudden

outbreak

of back hair

and continued for 17 straight days of

natural catastrophes

and man-made disasters pardon me

may i have this punch

until finally pete knew it was time for

his once lucky penny to have a burial at

sea

don't drop it pete please don't drop it

chuck it pete

then we can hear the plunky sound when

it hits the bottom

no

pete you're gonna recharge it like a

battery

i can

do burps taste like hot dogs

mine do

we're charging a lucky penny is easy all

you got to do is have a train run it

over

really

that is a bunch of crud it is not

and i know the perfect place then train

tracks nearest medley ravine smedly

ravine that's 10 miles away how are we

supposed to get there

leave that to me

[Music]

now in case you didn't know smedley

ravine was in glurt county 10.2 miles

away to be exact

but fortunately for pete

the ravine was also near the plate smith

the repair shop for people with metal

plates in their head like our mom

pete knew there was no way mom would

take him there to penny the tracks

so he didn't bother to ask her

shh

you're upsetting spirits sorry you know

when crab scouts we have a word for this

lame-o

monica would you please i know i gotta

believe right

no you gotta get off my lucky smock

once her smock was set free known as set

free the good luck spirits it was an

ancient ritual passed down from the old

country

somewhere near milwaukee

[Music]

i made that part up

after the train flattens it all we gotta

do is look for the scrape when we come

back tomorrow

tomorrow good one

um pete

the only train that runs on these tracks

is the midnight special

we gotta come back tomorrow tomorrow

but i'm all out of luck

what'll i do till then

just lay low

[Music]

have a seat

carrot head

meet pit stain my brother's arch enemy a

glandular freak dedicated to destroying

the kid who gave him his nickname

this must be my lucky day right scab

socket

mint

shove it in your armpit pit stain

we all have our problems wriggly mine

happens to be glandular

yours happens to be my fist

hi i'm stu benedict bus driver and

you're

sweating all over me

it's his glands it is not

it's just unseasonably warm today

i think the weather's perfect

for you to take a

[Music]

going i'm hike

but the day is young wrigley

so young

oh yeah once the midnight special

flattens my penny my luck will be back

and you'll be sweating b*ll*ts

we'll see about that

you saved my butt still it's on the

timing pete that's why some men are men

and some men are

bus drivers

yeah

well thanks

look pal there's something you should

know

pennying a track is against the law it's

destroying government property

i'll risk it it's worth it

fair enough

so i guess it won't bother you when the

train derails

flipping off the track

exploding into a fireball

ripping into twisted hot steel

not to mention lost luggage no

yes

gotta get that penny

[Music]

yeah

yeah that's right

i gotta get that penny you don't

actually believe in that luck stuff do

you i do if wrigley does

and he's been lucky till now

but if i get the penny i'll have the

luck

and wrigley

it'll be crispy duck

hey i made a rhyme

buster up you guys we got a train to

catch

onward

you know i heard that when a trained

rail the g-force takes the people and

turns them inside out is that wicked or

what oh no

maybe you should have told us that

before pete penny's track

nag

i can't believe it

at midnight that train's gonna go flying

and it's all because of me

don't worry p we'll get there on time

besides i'm like a good luck force field

i'm wearing my lucky hat my lucky

shoelaces my lucky candy necklace and

my lucky underwear

pete you don't need luck you need this

the viper

be careful it could

strike at any moment

right now the viper's built-in range

action compass is telling us to walk

magnetic north we should reach the

ravine at 10 o'clock plenty of time

right right

and i brought food so we won't go hungry

right right and we have all night

because we told our parents we were

sleeping at wayne's house right right

i'd rather eat a chocolate covered dust

buddy than sleep at wayne's house

guys wait up for me

hey guys wait up this is mate wayne

guys come on wait up

say hello to wayne pardue also known as

wayne the pain

talk about lousy luck it's me wayne

geez louise

hey i heard you guys were sleeping over

my house tonight

rock like your head

so

what do you want to do to the sleepover

uh you wouldn't be into it you know

we're just gonna

look for a penny super genius i'm in

oh wait let's see what i got

a crib star 2000 flashlight

it's a picture of a frogman on the box

using a thousand feet of water but

it's good just for seeing stuff in the

dark too

way way

[Applause]

listen up

this is it

no turning back

not till we find my penny

deal

deal

oh one more thing

last one there's a blood blister

laugh while you can stink fist

because by midnight

you'll be crying

[Music]

for the first few hours none of the

night crawlers seemed too worried

sure the penny was still miles away

and sure hundreds of lives were in their

hands but for a while

none of that mattered

monica kept the moving magnetic north

nona kept the bad luck spirits at bay

and as for wayne i think you didn't know

except for alaska

alabama

arizona and idaho

ohio is the only state that begins and

ends with a vowel

really wow

hey guys i know a shortcut through the

golly it's that way

hey princess lucky underpants

let's go

hold your horses i'm tying a lucky knot

a twist and a tuck means good good luck

[Music]

so off they went

hoping to head off a train wreck

little did they know that they were on

their way to their own disaster

it's not just that nona forgot about the

food

as they made their way toward the ravine

there was somebody out there who hadn't

forgot about them

ladybug ladybug

fly away home

[Laughter]

remind me to do that to wriggly when i

catch him

that's the five the ten the twenty bob

[Music]

let's go

it didn't take a two-headed abe lincoln

to figure out that if pete didn't get

his penny before pit stain

his life was gonna derail

but unfortunately

pete wasn't only out of luck

he was running out of daylight

and almost

out of time

[Music]

monica

ap

i got this idea you know where i act as

a decoy and i split off and run all the

way home wayne i don't have time for

this you gotta keep going or else people

are going to die

oh

did you check the batteries before you

left wayne

pete we can still make it to the ravine

something

[Music]

associates could arrange that

hair net

unlucky

train is going to derail flip off the

track and explode into a fireball

wellsville busing and transit authority

just passing by right place right time

for you

wrong place wrong time on the bus

hey stew

how come the train didn't derail

must be pete's lucky day

[Music]

hey betsy

penny for your thoughts

here's one for free

i know where you live

it turns out that stu was right

because at that moment my brother never

felt luckier

and not just because of a penny

[Music]

thanks for standing by me

you know

i don't think i need this anymore

what are you talking about it's your

lucky petty

and it's totally recharged

i know

there are some things you need more than

luck

they all knew what pete meant

it was something they couldn't put into

words

but then

they didn't have to let's go home

yeah

you guys still want to sleep over my

house

of your houses man that would be solid
