different than the others besides

talking differently god had given him

great organizational abilities you

should see his sock drawer

[Music]

what kind of work are you doing exactly

we must count our sheep but every time

we do

[Music]

well maybe wouldn't be so boring if you

put the sheep in groups of five or ten

about sheep

put them in groups of ten

the finest calf heights perfect for

riding the range or going according this

mittens say they say

you are not as special as your brother

and for my birthday wish i want to tell

you all about my latest dream it was the

strangest thing

[Music]

the cowboys practice

out beneath the desert sky stood a dozen

cactus

cactuses cacti khaki continue

[Music]

11 cactus those are you

gathered round the other

they bowed your seat

[Music]

crazy huh

what are you saying that you will rule

over us like a king

it was just a dream right that's not

really gonna happen

maybe you should cut down on the

bratwurst before bed huh needless to say

joseph's dreams didn't make his brothers

like him any better

Abandoned Mine Shaft

[Music]

mine shaft

from the ranch before and now here he

was on the run with dangerous men

campfire last night

Little Joe

[Music]

oh joe

[Music]

another root beer over

a year ago my restaurant was going down

the drain

thought i'd go insane

the whole ship right it's been a month

on sundays since we last started

[Music]

Peanuts

it looks like another record

sorry duty calls

[Music]

my life

is a disaster

a sea of endless pain

a picnic promising

[Music]

it's why my heart is heavy

[Music]

peanuts get your hot roasted peanuts

over here i'll take one life is a joke a

trifle a folly even my dog is a

melancholy

my happy days are sunny

that's why i'm so blue

peanuts get your hot roasted peanuts get

them while they're hot

i'm slow

Employee of the Month

boy that song's getting shorter every

week

there you go boss oh and uh by the way

the peanuts make them thirsty so get

ready to sell a lot of root beer oh

you're a natural milad

and that's why you've earned this

i wasn't sure if you'd work out when i

bought you from those desperados

but

congratulations milad employee of the

month

oh thank you mr mcpotifer i won't let

you down you'll see from now on i'll

work harder than ever

says joseph

oh hello kitty that's miss kitty to you

whatever you say look little joe don't

be a sap no one's looking take this

money and get out of here why would i do

that

you and i both know you don't want to be

here with this much cash you can get

back home i'm sorry miss kitty but

stealing is wrong if i took that money

i'd be disobeying god not to mention i'd

probably lose my status as employee of

the month

good day miss kitty

to show you there's no hard feelings

about you know what i made some

alterations to your costume for you oh

well that's really kind of you but i

wasn't aware that it was

it's a tad heavier than before

now i put some extra stuffing in it

thief

[Music]

there's a thief among us

[Music]

all right

what seems to be the trouble here this

man has been stealing from dear old

macpath since the day he arrived here

little joe

this does not look good

how could you what do you have to say

for yourself

i'm innocent tell it to the judge

[Music]

A Year Ago

oh

[Music]

a year ago my little jail was busting at

the seams

criminals both left and right were

stacked up to the beams

then little joe he came along and taught

him all a trade and i just bought a

stetson with the money that he's made

a year ago miss kitty up and sent me off

to jail

and though i haven't done a thing i'm

stuck here without bail

but my belief that god is good helps

overcome frustration so i'll keep doing

what is rightness by incarceration

[Music]

i gotta hand it to you you've got the

best attitude of any prisoner i've ever

had god is good sheriff bob so what have

i got to be down about well

if god is really good

why is all this stuff happening to you

i don't know that yet but i will

when it's time i just need to keep doing

what's right

[Music]

all right men lights out another day of

quilting tomorrow

[Music]

oh my god

[Music]

and that's when i woke up screaming well

what does my dream mean joe and mine too

what do they mean well there's good news

and there's bad news you're going back

to work today but you're being sent up

the river congratulations

so sorry

anyone here oh yes dear baker i have

wonderful news that the mayor has given

you a full pardon he wants you to resume

your duties immediately and i'm

extending an invitation to you mr

blacksmith to join my chain g*ng

up the river

[Music]

how do you do that hmm

oh well i've always just had this thing

for dreams just another way god made me

special

yeah and he loves you very much i've

heard

little joe really believed god loved him

still every now and then he'd wonder

what god was up to

hey god

little joe here not to complain or

anything but what's going on

i tell people what their dreams mean and

they always come true but you gave me a

dream a long time ago and i'm in jail

and i didn't even do anything

i'm trying to do what's right

but i'm a little confused

well

please be with paw and baby benjamin

and most of my brothers

okay in judeo

good night god

The Mayor

the very next day who should show up but

the mayor himself

ah as i believe we can all see here the

town's reserves are down a good 25

due to the fact that our bank is robbed

on average

every other week

hey

[Music]

ah pizza roll

[Music]

it was horrible just horrible and it was

so real like it was really happening

oh that sounds dreadful

at any rate as i was saying about our

bank but what did it mean

is there anyone in dodgeball city who

can interpret dreams

begging the mayor's pardon but i know

someone who might

be able to ah help

[Music]

my banker tells me you can interpret

dreams

no i can't sir what

i can't interpret your dreams but god

can he'll give me the answer you're

looking for

right

well he better or i'll put you back in

that jail and you'll never get out

let's get started earlier today i had

the strangest dream

cows sat on a hill so big and fat i got

my grill i was thinking about a barbecue

then seven scrawny ones came along and

gulped the big fat cow

were gone

and then i dreamt i was in front of a

large group of people in my underwear

what's that about

[Music]

so come on start interpreting

well it's really quite simple

the seven fat cows mean seven years of

plenty are coming more food than you can

imagine and the seven skinny cows mean

seven years of terrible famine famine so

bad the good years will be all but

forgotten

if this is true

what do we do

well during the good years you should

store away as much food as possible to

give back to the people during the seven

bad years and dodgeball city will be

saved

of course you'll need someone with great

organizational abilities to make sure it

all works

koji what's the state of your sock draw

ah a little disorganized i'm afraid

that's what i thought cucumber you're in

charge excuse me

The Drought

what are you doing standing around here

you've got a city to save

so the mayor made little joe the most

powerful man in dodge ball city

[Music]

after him of course and just like always

little joe got right to it doing things

right and making stuff work

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

i certainly hope so

everyone's out there

oh nothing's gonna grow in that soil for

years you did it little joe you saved

the town

yeah oh what is it little joe

what's wrong

well sir

i've got a family out there somewhere

i just hope they're all right

oh i'd be surprised if this drought was

that widespread i'm sure their riot is

rain

[Music]

calm down brothers things still look a

little bleak but if we stick together

we'll get through this as a family right

paw

[Music]

we

are

Strangers

[Music]

[Music]

hmm

[Music]

howdy strangers i run this here town

what can i do you for we here tell

you've got yourself some food stored up

so we reckon we'd come on down to see if

we could buy some from you hmm

how many in your family

just the 11 of us now

one of our brothers got ate up in a wild

gopher accident but that was years ago

mighty sorry to hear that

we have regretted it every day since

he was my closest brother and i barely

even remember him

[Music]

where's your

where's your paw he could not make the

trip he's hot he's broken

you'll see the sheriff

he'll take care of you

[Music]

give him whatever they need but don't

let him go till i say so

are you okay a little joe

i'm fine but whatever you do don't use

my name around him

whatever you say

[Music]

Thieves

i need to know if my brothers have

changed

i need

a test

[Music]

you strangers ready to go i reckon so

your man gave us everything we need

we tried to pay but he would not have it

now i wonder why he wouldn't take money

from a bunch of low down nerdy thieves

you heard me you all came a long way

just to get caught robbing me now see

here we are not thieves we can't buy

some food but if this is a problem

lemme pepperonis partner

[Music]

that's been a mistake you bet there's

been a mistake your brother tried to

steal from me and we don't take kindly

to stealing around these hair parts you

don't understand my paw has already lost

one boy a boy he loved very much and it

was my fault i cannot let him lose

benjamin too

keep me prisoner and let my brother go

free

all right all right everybody get out of

there

little joe we got a problem

little joe

so

you'd really sacrifice yourselves for

your brother

it's time to tell you who i really am

brothers it's me

you are not still upset about that

little mineshaft joke

are you

little joe i am to blame for what

happened to you

punish me but i beg of you let my

brothers go

[Music]

hey jude

what you did was wrong

and it hurt me very much

but what you intended for harm

god used for good

to save you all

to save everyone

to save paw

how could i not forgive you

you boys forgot your mittens

little joe

my boy that's the story of how a very

bad thing became a very good thing and

led to the happiest family reunion the

west had ever seen

[Music]
