01x29 - Are You My Neighbor?

Post by bunniefuu »

the sun always Shone on the mountains of

fibble the Wind and The Rains never came

to call the place beautiful no one would

quibble though hard on the feet they'd

exclaim but high in those Hills past the

rocks and the rubble so high that the

clouds were below sat two tiny towns

that were nothing but trouble as you

listen You'll see that it's so

the town to the West that thought it was

best bore the name flibro Lou where the

women and men since 1710 have worn on

their heads one large shoe

now in town number two one big shoe

wouldn't do so the people of Jeopardy

lot would look down in Bellow at Shoe

headed fellows and place on their own

heads upon

a pot Kettle for days without end these

two neighbors would bicker as to whose

headgear was best and the shoes and the

pots would fly ever thicker from morning

to night without rest

but not all of the people who lived in

these cities were angry and bitter and

vile a few would write poems and sing

happy diddies and greet all their

friends with a smile

one Floridian fellow who hated the fight

tried hard not to act like a mobster

while pots crashed around him from

morning till night he'd just play with

his pet wind-up Lobster

they kept to themselves and they'd talk

and they'd talk until one day he said

hey let's go for a walk I'm tired of

laying around like a squid I want to go

out there so that's what he did the shoe

headed boy in his blue plastic friend

walked out of their town and began to

descend to the dark Rocky Valley between

the two cities away from his friends and

their lighthearted ditties

hey this is well you said gosh this is

fun it's great that my Lobster can get

out and run but neither the toy nor the

boy with the shoe could see the disaster

about to ensue for up in the Rocks

hidden just out of sight were six beady

eyes filled with anger and spite six

beady eyes watched our hero Meander two

Shifty Crooks and their ruthless

commander

the nasty one said here comes up all

four with a

or maybe some jewelry he'd like us to

hold whatever the booty I think I could

stand it why that's what I live for

that's why I'm a bandit and then they

attacked him from under their Rock first

they knocked off his shoe then they

knocked off his son but the thing they

did next was extremely unfunny why they

shook him so hard that he dropped his

milk money hey he protested I don't like

your ilk how will I go strong if I don't

drink my milk but they didn't care

they'd accomplish their goal so they put

our friend down stuck his head in a hole

and walked off with his money every last

nickel then yelled back as they left see

around sorry pick up

um I'm a cucumber

then he said with a moan well I guess

I'm alone

but this was a loneliness he'd never

known his friends were far off and his

Lobster was missing the sound he could

hear was just the wind hissing

hello

[Music]

things looked pretty Grim for our

flippian buddy his head in a hole his

shoe bent and muddy but then were those

footsteps oh could it be true Along Came

the mayor of fliberolu of anyone surely

he'd help the poor soul hello said the

boy with his head in a hole I seem to

have fallen I seem to be stuck but now

that you're here well I guess I'm in

luck oh dear said the mayor observing

the shoe the fellow in need and he's

maybe in two young man I have noticed

your dial situation then please rest

assured that I share your frustration

but how can I put this oh what can I say

ah but maybe you understand better this

way

is that music

I'm busy

fully busy you've no idea what I have to

do busy busy shockingly busy much much

too busy for you

oh I see as soon as the mayor had

finished his song of Philippian doctor

came strolling along

said starting to slide if you and your

pickle

pickle and very important I can't stand

in chat well that's not my pickle I

found him like that besides it so

happens I'm noteworthy too why I am the

mayor of flavor Olu

um um I'm a cucumber I see said the

doctor then you'll understand without an

appointment

hand that

[Music]

said to the mayor of flibarolu if enough

mistaken you're quite busy too well they

talked about schedules compare daily

planners till finally a voice said

please pardon my manners I don't mean to

bug you I see that you're busy but being

inverted made me quite dizzy

the two other flippians paused for a

while they looked at each other then

said with a smile

we're busy busy

busy

[Music]

shockingly busy much much

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

oh it was just Dreadful how could they

desert their Philippian friend with his

head in the dirt that's it then I'm

finished I'll die here down under if

they would not help me then who would he

wondered

but wait someone else on the road

overhead would they help a friend beaten

up left for dead oh look on his head not

a shoe but a pot why this little guy was

from Jeopardy lot would he help a

flippian certainly not the boy with the

pots are friend with the shoe he

exclaims

why they think we're garbage they pulled

us with shoes why should I care if he's

beaten and bruised

but oh here in the wild his chances are

Slim

if I was in need would I want help from

him

he looked at our friend and he looked at

the Shoe and then in his heart he knew

what to do

he may be sleepy and that's plain to see

but God made him special just like he

made me

so we got him unstuck and he picked up

his shoe and together they walked back

to flibarolu out of the valley and back

into town where he stayed by his side

till the doctor was found oh my said the

doctor he's wearing a pot the little one

there is some jibery lot

you saved this fellow you pulled him

through it I don't understand tell me

why did you do it

[Music]

he has a shoe and I have a pot but when

we look deeper there's more that we've

got God made us special there now I can

see if you're special to him than your

special to me

love your neighbor when someone helps

you then you'll understand when you love

your neighbor too

[Music]

here let me help you thank you oh

[Applause]

then you

love your neighbor

[Music]

so the boy with the pot gave the doctor

some money to pay for the Cucumbers bill

and the mayor cried out with his eyes

moist and runny I'm touched by his act

of Goodwill if this little guy can take

care of his brother when he lives in one

town and he and the other why can't we

all try to help one another and love

would surround Our Fair Hill

now if you visit the mountains of fibble

you won't see a shoe or a pot instead

they throw flowers and Candy to nibble I

bet that you'd like it a lot

[Music]
