Post by bunniefuu »

[Music]

in the great Painted Desert a long time ago twitch the feet of the Rockies and

the Bighorn Plateau lived a man of great calling a man of great skill in the city

of dodgeball they sing of him still

Oh Long stranger your mascot your face

who you are we can't say Oh Long stranger they sing hi-h* sliver

a way to tell the story of the lone stranger

you gotta start with the first big hero of doggy ball City and be little Joel

now Little Joe was what you might call a Visionary but his dreams ticked off his

brothers who sold him off to a group of Desperados and after traveling in a ziggy zaggy

line he ended up in DodgeBall City where his hard work and scrupulous characters

landed him in the Pokey but with God's help he got the mayor out

of the Mine by figuring out that hard times were on the way the mayor granted him a reprieve and a job in Emergency

Management Little Joe organized the town gathered up seven years

he also saved his own family he forgave his brothers for selling him off and set

them all up with nice lives right there in Dodgeball

Joe and his brother's past their descendants multiplied like prairie dogs till the new mayor and the

people of the Town started to worry that they'd be overrun so they set task Masters over the sons

of Little Joe to afflict them with heavy burdens and keep him down

they said him to dig in with shovels land mixed and drove them to building

with Boulders and Bricks still tired and battered they fell to their knees and

cried to the heavens [Applause] [Music]

away [Music]

[Applause] Oh

No Stranger we work lots of Dickens but

don't get no pain Oh No Stranger

please come take us away we really don't want to stay

I've had a really bad day

[Music]

something wrong mayor there's too many of them Wyatt

too many workers look at them all isn't that a good thing I mean you can't

dig the Grand Canyon build Monument Valley and paint the Painted Desert with just a few guys and what happens if they

decide all at once they're no longer interested in working for free

ah I see your point well what do you want me to do

Finn The Herd means that hurt you know make sure

they're not so many I'm not sure

gather up all the baby boys and send them up the river

up the river up the river

now the mayor thought his plan was awfully clever but God had his eye on one special boy

he was going to use to turn this whole mess around [Music]

what in the world

la la la la oh yeah

[Music] no I've been told when you pan for gold like west of Illinois

it ain't rare to find a bear but not a baby boy I think I'll name you nugget

and if you do one thing is kindness you are a prone you line your pack with

bubble wrap and take that baby home I know what about

[Music] me

she picked him up and named him motion she took that baby home she named that

baby mole OS mayonnaise okay read that back to me

oh hi sweetheart any luck today oh that's nice what

a little mode again to grow but not as strong as others couldn't hold a copper

measure up to his big Zucchini Brothers

to compensate little mo got great at working on his throne it knocked you

flat it's standing at the wrong end of that fall

singing look out for that Mighty throat saying hi hi

[Music]

in his defense it made good chance but made his mother nervous to take those

skills and pay his bills through a life in public service [Music]

he went to guard over the Canyons [Music]

but man that boy can throw the boy that we call

no holiday

[Music] um

here let me help you I don't need your help I was just trying to well it's too

late for that isn't it it must be nice growing up pampered in the mayor's house stood out here breaking your back along

with the rest of your kin how did you know your sister told a few friends I told a few friends and well I

reckon Everybody Knows by now they do besides you're this spitting image of

Little Joe himself of course he'd be spitting if he saw you wearing that badge traitor huh

everything okay here Mo I uh yeah everything's fine sure it's fine

when the mayor's your granddaddy we all know your rightful places down there he

giving you a hard time yeah what if I am don't talk back to me

it's okay Bill no it's not okay

no one talks back to me especially a low-life Descent of Little

Joe leave him alone Bill looks like you need a little lesson in respecting your superiors

oh leave him alone bill

that's enough [Music] oh

yeah right

oh [Music]

he was gonna hurt Charlie I was helping you if the mayor finds out I'm a goner come

on guys we're family you gotta hide me oh what you got to whack us too

what's going on here [Music]

if you find him bring him to me this time I'll see to it myself he goes up

the river there weren't much for more to do but do the head for the hill he did a few

loop-de-loops to keep the mayor and his g*ng off his Trail and eventually Moe

made it to the Rockies or he was safe [Music]

well except for the Bears that's the thing about mountains they

got bears well after he lost that bear he

whooped Bear's still around [Music]

[Music]

um Home on the Range where the deer and the cantaloupe

where seldom is heard a discouraging word

and the skies are not cloudy all day but fortunately for Mo Bears aren't the

only ones who live in the mountains come on zippy

are you thirsty boy

[Music] oh wow zippy it's it's heavier than last time

[Music]

oh I'm terribly sorry that's okay [Music]

oh you startled me oh my you're a tall drink of water

not that tall you should see my brothers oh you dropped your hat thanks

nice Buffalo what were you doing at the bottom of the well bear bear

[Music] I'm tired of running and I'm not going

that well all right there find another cucumber to

Chase [Music]

I'm gonna hang on to this wow that was an awfully Brave thing to do do you

think so mm-hmm my name is Sally and this is Zippy

hi Sally and Zippy pleased to meet you my name's Mo

when the Arts go tweet a tweeted and the Puffs

and the sun hangs high in the Rocky Mountain Sky

you know it must be loved you must be starving would you like to join us for

dinner well man That's mighty kind of you'd ask I'd love to now some matches

are made in phosphorus factories While others are made in heaven

either way it all starts with a little chemistry oh when the ducks go quiet the wacky

wacky whack and the old say humans are shine bright in the rocky

mountain night you know it must be low well Sally and

her folks were Mighty thankful to both for saving her from that prayer and Moe was mighty thankful to feel appreciated

and with all of that gorgeous niceness going around it worked long before they

were all thankful for other things yep Moen Sally got hitched and started a

family oh when the feast goes the fuzzy Buzzy was and the little butterflies a

flutter cutter by and the clouds quote prayer through the Rocky Mountain Land

you know it must be loved mole took the domestic life like butter

to a gone were the days of Canyon garden and dodgeball through one right

any more Mo couldn't hit the broadside of a barn with a dodgeball nor did he

try he was content caring for his family and walking Jimmy oh thank the Lord

above you know it must be loved

[Music] come on boy let's go for a walk

did you remember sliver yep never leave home without it Mo named his walking

stick sliver on account it was a sliver of wood he pulled off that tree that amen Sally he never went anywhere

without it what with the prayers and all now with most stories this could be what

you might call a happy ending look at that he's even walking off into the sunset with East Buffalo

but this is different for most stories and I expect it's just getting started

[Music]

all right bear I got delivered I suggest you stay away

[Music]

Moe had never seen a burning tumbling before this Tumbleweed was not only on

fire it seemed to have a mind of its own now if this were just an ordinary

burning and talking television the story should have just ended with the sunset

but God himself was using this Tumbleweed to speak to Moe God told Mo

he had a job for him to do what Umi [Music]

God told him that he had heard the cries in Little Joe's family and that he was

sending Mo to go to the mayor Andy man he let them leave dodgeball City but who

am I to go to the mayor look at me I'm puny be pretty good with a dodgeball but I

put that behind me God told mullo that he would help him that he would be most strength but but

what if the people don't believe me when I tell him it's you who sent me tell them I am who I am God said tell them I

am has sent me to you okay got it I am has sent me to you but okay what if you

know they're still like yeah right this oh this is sliver it's my walking

stick and bear repellent throw it on the ground okay

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause] all right

God told Mo to pick up the snake that's a rattlesnake highly venomous

[Music]

okay God I think I can do this but can I ask a favor

I've got this thing about public speaking really it terrifies me what imagine

everyone in their underwear yeah trade it didn't work scared the lilies out of me

God told Mo he'd have someone waiting for him outside of dodgeball City to

help him out with his public speaking too so Moe went back to tell his family he

needed to go on a business trip God's business

thanks for the new outfit Sally you're welcome Mo you're gonna need it it'd be

best if the mayor doesn't recognize you he'll have you sent up the river oh I almost forgot

you be careful now I'm gonna miss you Sally gherkin you listen to your mom now you

hear goodbye Moe now you go do what God says you're a good woman Sally all right

Zippy let's go Zippy hi h* Slimmer away

bye boys

[Music]

foreign [Music]

howdy [Music] you good at public speaking

you ever have to use the Imagine everyone in their underwear trick [Music]

Moe shh how did you know my name I'm Aaron your

brother what are you talking about you're not a zucchini wait a minute you're my brother brother

that's right I was adopted plus your wanted poster is still up all over town

anyone with 100 miles of here knows your name you better keep that mask on

I didn't recognize you with the mask which is good the mayor still has it in for you Mo told Aaron everything God had

sent him to say and about all the miraculous signs he had commanded him to perform

[Music]

foreign you do the thing with the stick God does

the rest and we all go free exactly huh all right well I would have to sell

rubber tomahawks anymore not unless you want to I do

don't you get bored out here oh dreadfully but it needs working in the

canyon you know my sensitive skin it just it doesn't hold up [Music]

[Music]

you must be a stranger [Music]

thank you [Music]

I'm sorry I had to yes [Music]

wait a minute you're that worker who sells souvenirs outside of town aren't you

isn't that boring beats the canyon hmm who's this stranger he come with you or

did he come alone ah uh yes he's the uh he's the loan the lone stranger

lone stranger hey you know how to talk stranger ah he's a

bit a bit shy he prefers to have me speak for him forget to buy a backbone with that new

cowboy hat stranger well what do you want I don't have all day

and this is what the Lord God says let my people go

what's that let us go set us free we want to leave no more digging and stacking and selling rubber tomahawks

adios amigo let you go God said so

yeah well we'll just see what the mayor has to say about oh sorry what is it

he's only hauling 20 wheelbarrows an hour I'm old 30 is the minimum I can't

do 30. I'm 80. 30 is the minimum oh you drive 30 at my age ungrateful that's

enough you heard the god the rule is 30. he began 230. it's up the river no

please take him away all this but the plan

[Music]

nobody draws a dodgeball in the mayor's office but me

you want me to let you go away well how's this 60 barrels an hour and that

goes for everyone and you're gonna dig without shovels or picks to boot how we gonna do that you figure it out and you

you can go back and tell your people you just made their lives even more miserable

now get back to work [Music] needless to say mo and Aaron's first

meeting with the mayor did not go well and not only did they not get their

request granted but the mayor more than doubled the workload for everyone

and in case you're wondering the children of Little Joe were none to

appreciative that last guy's name is the long

stranger he's the one to sing from this he's the biggest goofball to come around here

since that more guy remember him exactly was a piece of work

let's go home Zippy I'm just making it worse I don't know what I was thinking

what are you doing you can't leave now what do you see what I've done

they're better off without me that's true but that's the whole point but when you

just rely on yourself on your own strength I do the talking you'll do the thing

with the stick and God does the rest that was the plan remember God's plan

well I guess I did kind of blow it in there kinda and if I'm not mistaken that's not the only time you've gotten

yourself into trouble with long time ago and only because I was trying to help

all your life you wanted to be strong but what God has called you to do here

is far beyond your own strength so I can't do this on my own

I can only do this if I let God do this

[Music] when the Earth was born Who lit the

light in the dark God did that's right when the rain came

down who drew the plans for an ark good d*ck

precisely and in case you ever wondered when all they've turned the hundred who

took the reins and gave him diapers to change God did exactly and went right all right

I get your point it isn't my strength that's going to help my people it's God's and since God

called me to do this he'll Supply the strength I need I'm gonna stick to the plan

so Mullen Aaron headed back to dodgeball City to follow God's plan

I'll sit tight to see how things turn out thank you

and now it's time for Silly Songs with Larry oh dude yo me and the boys had an idea

about another way to tell this most story right boys yo

[Music] yo listen to the boys

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause] [Music] now we're spread fast and he got all

scared I'll be better off by avoiding the Pharaohs they'd be punishing him in a capital

ways

[Music]

[Music]

will take us out of here

uh no let's stick with the Western

see you guys

[Music] you know mama's gonna be back soon

oh [Music]

what do you want we've come back to assure you that God means business what's that supposed to mean if you do

not set the workers free you will face dire consequences

excuse me [Music]

oh so then you'll turn all our sticks into

snakes I'm so scared

[Music]

that's the sorriest thing I ever seen you couldn't do better than that I was

on the spot thank you big deal so you're better at snakes I'm

still not letting anyone go get back to your souvenir Shack and take what's his

name with you before I lose my patience

foreign what's next

now in the old west taking a bath was a special occasion and for the mayor that

occasion came every Saturday morning but the mayor's bath was about to turn sour

along with the rest of his week good morning mayor you two again I did not

tell you it sent me to tell you let my people go

gods [Music]

[Music]

what is it it's tomato juice [Music]

well the river turned gray

and the mayor [Music]

away [Music]

and the prairie dog spray

[Music]

let my people go hi-h* sliver away and the grasshoppers

come on [Music]

well he still didn't

appearance and the pimples

[Music]

[Music] and the wind is

[Music]

pay attention

oh the river turned red and the mayor wouldn't listen and the Perry don't spread and he still wouldn't listen to

the grass boost came and the mayor wouldn't hear it and the cattle fell daddy still didn't appeared and the pimples came up in every Dimension and

the wind blew in still he wouldn't pay attention Mo could not get through

[Music]

Mo and Aaron had done everything got it asked but the mayor still wouldn't budge

saw one more flag was visited upon doggyball City the worst saddest one of

all [Music] no it was terrible but

the mayor I think he had brought it on himself now God told the children of Little Joe

to place a sign on their door to keep him safe but for the rest of dodgeball

City all of the firstborn boys were taken by the river

Amaya would like to see us [Music]

leave us go away all of you get out of dodgeball City

[Music]

and the Lord went before them by a day in a pillar of cloud to lead them along

the way there they go good riddance

we're gonna have to figure out who's gonna do all the work now who was that masked man

it's Moe the long stranger he is Moe he just took

off his mask give me those [Music]

MO [Music] round up the Posse I got a score to settle

[Music] Valley

barbitude

on your Buffalo can't you see we have a

problem it's the bear and he's got a bossy

thanks a lot Mo we should have never left dodgeball City yeah we'd be better

off serving the mayor than dying in the desert

perhaps I could ride out and ask the mayor to take it easy on us did anyone bring any dodgeballs Aaron the plan
