soon is soon
cheer up it won't be long now says nurse
benny
come and play cards says simon in the
next bed
this is a really good show says nirmala
who watches tv all the time
[Music]
but hugo shakes his head and stares out
the window
right now mom will be putting on the
kettle and his little sister kathy will
be playing dress-up
and his fat cat lucy will be napping in
the sun
so hugo stares out the window listening
to the animal noises that float up from
the zoo
what a racket says nurse benny
but hugo's eyes widen because an
elephant is shrieking something special
a
message just for him
[Music]
come come home with me
shrieks the elephant so hugo puts on his
slippers
and goes he and the elephant amble
through african grasslands
where lions play rough and tumble games
and herds of wildebeest migrate across
the flames
when his family comes to visit mom asks
as usual
what have you been up to quite a lot
says hugo i went to africa
lucky you says mom
it's not fair says kathy i only went to
kindergarten
so hugo makes her a little paper
elephant with flappy ears
the next day while simon is building a
house out of cards and nirmala is still
watching tv hugo stares out the window
and listens again
[Music]
the elephant is silent but the howler
monkey is roaring
come come home with me
so hugo puts on his slippers and
goes
he and the howler monkey swing through
the treetops of the amazon jungle
where sloths sleep upside down
and the emerald tree boa hides in the
leaves
and two cans gobble berries
[Music]
when his family comes to visit mom asks
where did you go today quite
far says hugo i went to the amazon
jungle
lucky lucky you size mom
it's not fair says kathy i only went to
the corner shop
so hugo makes her a monkey puppet that
wiggles on her finger
[Music]
the next day after hugo has played cards
with simon
and watched a bit of tv with nirmala he
stares out the window
and very faintly he can hear the snow
leopard
growling
come come home
with me so hugo puts on his slippers
and goes
he wraps his arms around the snow
leopard's neck and they
hurtle through snow and ice
high in the himalayas where eagle-eyed
birds soar
above the slopes
[Music]
when his family comes to visit mom asks
been traveling again yes says hugo
i went to the himalayas kathy stamps her
foot
not fair i only went to the park
so hugo makes her a leopard mask
and she growls and shows her claws
[Music]
the next day when hugo is just about to
put on his slippers and leave for
india nurse benny says surprise
your mom and kathy are here you're going
home
come back and visit me says simon
i wish i were going home too says
nirmala
and she watches tv harder than ever
i'll tell you both a secret says hugo
and he whispers in their ears
that night when hugo is snuggled up in
his own bed in his
own house at last
nirmala and simon put on their slippers
and run with the tiger through the
forests of india

one morning about a million years ago
bug maw awakened with a bone in her nose
and a frown on her grumpy face
as usual she reached for ugg paw and
gave him a painful pinch
outpost sat up with a start
then he spat on the floor and fell back
to sleep
thus bup the cave boy awakened to
another
unhappy prehistoric day
bob had to do all of the chores by
himself
his older sister zerg had been carried
away by a saber-toothed tiger
his older brother hotrod had fallen into
the lair of a giant
cave bear and just yesterday
little nug bub's baby sister
vanished
and because they had lost all their
other children ugg maw and ugg paw were
determined to keep up
so before going out to hunt that day
they rolled a great
boulder in front of the cave so that the
wild animals couldn't get in
[Music]
they bellowed which meant bop stay
then they tromped away now bub hiked to
the pond at the back of the cave to
practice making
grim faces more than anything the cave
boy wanted to be just like his parents
when and if he ever grew up
but no matter how hard bub tried he
could never look as horrid as they
always did
argh he screamed a tear of frustration
rolled down his cheek and it flopped
into the pond
now the tear made an ever-widening
ripple
the pond began to froth and churn
and then out of the depths a strange new
animal emerged
the pinkish creature with wiggly arms it
didn't make a sound as it moved toward
the boy
[Music]
buck tried to run away
but the creature reached out and tickled
him under the chin
and it tickled his ribs and it tickled
his arms
the cape boy's face changed and a warm
glow
circled his heart something wondrous
began to happen
for the first time in the history of
people
someone smiled
and bob liked this new feeling he tucked
the animal into his pouch
and he squeezed past the boulder and he
went in search of his ill-tempered
parents
and before long he came upon his father
who was busy stalking
woolly mammoth
bob shouted which meant dad look what
i've got
look what i've got the cave boy shouts
frightened the timid woolly
and with a fearful bellow the mammoth
galloped away
[Music]
horrible grimace spread across a paws
angry face
a grimace so foul the two of his
teeth popped out of their sockets and
fell to the ground
the caveman reached for his son but bup
knew what to do
quickly he opened his pouch and he
released the creature
the caveman cried which meant oh no stop
stop tell me that trickles for the first
time
in the history of people
someone laughed
[Laughter]
and when ugg paul could laugh no more
bub stuffed the animal back into his
pouch
together the father and son set off to
find agma
before long they came upon the cave
woman picking berries down by the mud
slump
agma screamed when she saw her happy
family
fearing they were ill and possibly
contagious ugmod
jumped into the mud to save herself but
bup knew what to do
he opened his pouch and he released the
creature
cried which meant oh me yeah that
tickles
and i like it i like it the giggling
cave woman threw mud into the air and
slung in it
up and dug paw and for the first time in
the history of people
someone played
now when everyone was covered with mud
the creature jumped back into pub's
pouch
margwog his parents ash which meant
what is that thing and pop thought for a
minute
i eat omniga
he shouted which meant the tickle
octopus
smiling and laughing the family walked
on down the path
first they tickled the cranky tribe that
lived by the volcano
[Music]
then they tickled a scowling girl who
had tamed a saber-toothed tiger
now she turned out to be buff's older
sister zerg
and then they tickled a growling boy
wore the skin of a giant cave bear he
they discovered
was bupp's older brother hoe tried and
finally they tickled a pouting little
baby
they found beneath a banana leaf
log let me get ep noggy
they cheered which meant gnog we found
our little nuggie
bub's baby sister had simply been
misplaced
at last ugg maw of paw
zerg hotrod bup nug
and the tickle octopus returned to their
cave to celebrate
that evening everyone stayed up late
smiling and laughing and playing
[Music]
today about a million years later
times have changed people no longer live
in caves
and many of the animals that roam the
earth in the days of buff
are extinct there are no more
saber-toothed tigers
giant cave bears or woolly mammoths
and sad to say
tickle octopus is gone too
[Applause]
