[bunniefuu]

Dance your cares away

Worry's for another
day Let the music play

Down at Fraggle Rock

Work your cares away

Dancing's for another
day Let the Fraggles play

We're Gobo, Mokey,
Wembley, Boober, Red!

A Fraggle!

Hey, look, Ma.

I caught a Fraggle!

Dance your cares away

Worry's for another
day Let the music play

Down at Fraggle Rock

Down at Fraggle Rock
Down at Fraggle Rock

Down at Fraggle Rock.

It sure is nippy out there,
boy! Autumn is really here.

And though the seasonal
metamorphosismoves me in a mysterious way,

I still mourn the lossof
nature's abundance.

The garden, Sprocket. The garden.
All our flowers and plants are dying,

but we still have the beautiful Lucindato
gaze at over the long cold winter.

My Spathiphyllum! Sprocket,
what have you done?

Lucinda was your responsibility.

Sprocket. Come on, don't
cry. No, no. She's not dead yet.

No. Our Lucinda's
a hearty specimen.

All she needs is a
little encouragement.

And the way to give a
plantthe will to live, is to talk to it.

It's true. I read itin a
very interesting book.

It's true. I read itin a
very interesting book.

It was called, You're Okayand
Your Plant is Okay Too.

So, Lucinda, tell
me about yourself.

No, this is not going to work, sol'll
have to tell you something about me.

I was born not far from herein
a sleepy little sea coast town.

Our house was a modest
abode. Humble yet hospitable.

I'm sure you know what I mean.

Well, when I was
one, I remember...

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy,
oh boy, oh boy, oh boy,

-oh boy, oh boy... say "Oh-ah,
oh-ah" in the background.

Not with your mouth full!

Hooray, hooray, hooray, hooray!

-Right?-Wrong.

Goodie, goodie, goodie, goodie.

Goodie, goodie, goodie, goodie.
Goodie, goodie, goodie, goodie.

Wembley! Oh,
I'm sorry! I'm sorry.

I just love the
Duetathon, don't you?

-Oh, yeah!-Of course we do.

Yes, yes, yes!

The Duetathon's a
very meaningful event.

A time in when each
Fragglepicks the perfect partner

-with whom to blend her
voice in song.-Yes, yes. Perfect.

-A meeting of minds, a
harmony of souls.-Yes! Yes!

A really neat contestthat
we're gonna win!

-It's a lot of fun, too!-Sure.
It's fun, Wembley.

-Yes!-But, you know,
-it's also symbolic.-Yes!

That's why Red and I have written
a songthat illustrates our friendship.

Yeah. Especially the
partwhere the great warrior,

slays the dragon and
turns itinto Doozer dust.

Red, Red, Red. I told youl
didn't wanna sing about violence.

Violence? What's dragon
slayinggotta do with violence?

So, Wembley, what are you
and Gobogonna sing about?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, gee, I don't know. I mean, I've
been so excited about the Duetathon,

Oh, gee, I don't know. I mean, I've
been so excited about the Duetathon,

I forgot all about
it. Gobo! Gobo!

Gobo! Gobo! Gobo! Gobo!

And one, two, three, four.

And two, two, three, four.
And three, two, three, four.

When you can't find your
wayAnd the going gets treacherous

I'll come save the
dayAnd you'll never be

-Never be-Gobo,
Gobo, Gobo, Gobo.

I don't know what we're gonna
singin the Duetathon. What should I do?

Well, you can help me find a
wordthat rhymes with treacherous.

Yeah. Why didn't I think of
that? Let's see. Treacherous...

I got it, I got it! Pleacherous.

Wembley. Pleacherous
isn't a word.

It's not?

Little Nephew Gobo.

Wow! Uncle Matt. What
are you doing here?

I thought you were off
exploringOuter Space.

Well, well, well. I was. But I
came back for the Duetathon.

Well, well, well. I was. But I
came back for the Duetathon.

Yes, you see, singing a duetwith
my very own little Fraggle nephew,

will make me the proudest
Fraggle... in the rock.

Forgive me.

Yeah. Uncle Matt, I'd be proud
too. But, well, I'm gonna sing with...

With your Uncle Matt.

-I am?-Sure you are.

So, I guess, I'll
be running along.

Hey, Wembley, wait a...
Hey! Where are you going?

-Hey, Wembley!-What?

You don't think I'd
let you down, do ya?

I think if you don't
singwith your Uncle Matt

it'll break his heart,
that's what I think.

Now get in there
and start rehearsing.

-Yeah, but... March!

Nephew Gobo, come hither.

You see, I've written a song
hereabout the very first time

that we went exploring. Look.

-Yeah, that looks
interesting.-Yes.

The very first exploration
in Outer Space.

I am not going to cry.
I am not going to cry.

I am not going to cry.
I am not going to cry.

I'm not gonna cry.
I'm not gonna cry.

I'm not gonna cry.
I'm not gonna cry.

Go ahead. I've never
seen a Fraggle cry.

Wait. Fraggle. I didn't
mean it.No. It was a bad idea.

A really bad idea.

-I'm not crying 'cause you
told me to.-That's a relief.

I'm crying becausel did
what I was supposed to do,

which was what I didn't want
to do, but I knew I had to do it.

-And now I don't
know what to do.-Got it!

-You do?-Sure, sure.

Happens to the best of us.

Well, of course not
me, 'cause I'm a Doozer

with a very positive
outlook on life.

I used to have one of those.

Yeah. That's 'causel
never take no for an answer.

You never?

Never.

I mean, if one road is
blocked, I take another.

I mean, if one road is
blocked, I take another.

If one building is finished,
I simply start another one.

If one drawing is no good,
I make one that's better.

If one Doozer doesn't
wannaplay rivetball,

-Yeah, thanks, thanks.-I
find one that does.

If the helmet doesn't
fit, well then I... What...

Hey! Where'd that Fraggle go to?

Just when I was
getting to the good part.

If your mom makes you go to bed
early, just dream you're staying up late.

And if a Gorg should
giveyou a bump on the head,

well, just say, you found
a placeto hang your hat.

And if a Cackler should eat your
socks, just put your gloves on your feet.

And if your best friendcan't
sing with you in the Duetathon...

find one who can!

Boober, just the Fraggle
I was hopingto bump into.

What luck.

I was hoping you'd be my
partnerin the Duetathon.

Are you crazy? I
hate the Duetathon!

It makes me really tense. I get
nervous just thinking I might lose.

-Well, you might win.-That
makes me even more nervous.

Boober. I hopel'm not
interrupting anything important.

-Well, actually, we were
just... No. Of course, not, Tosh!

-But, we...-Well...

it's just that I wrote this special
songfor you and I was hoping you'd sing it

-with me in the Duetathon.-You
wrote a song for me?

-No. Boober doesn't
want to... Yes!

It's called...

"The Sunset in the Sky,
Like a Rhubarb in a Pie."

What a sentiment! I have never
beenso moved in my entire life.

-Then you'll be my partner?-Of
course I will! I love the Duetathon!

Well then, meet me back in
my caveas soon as you can.

-Yes, yes.-We need
lots of time to rehearse.

Yes, yes, yes, yes!

Well, let's just say I... I can't
resist a culinary reference.

Tosh! Tosh!

I don't know what I'm gonna do
I don't know what I'm gonna do

'Cause the song I
singls a song for two

Me's no good without a youl'd
sing alone but it's meant for two

I don't know what I'm gonna be

'Cause I want a
friendBut there's only me

One does not make companyl
walk alone 'cause there's only me

Stop that!

I don't know what I'm gonna do

'Cause the song I
singls a song for two

Me's no good without a you

I sing alone but
it's meant for two

Poor little thing.

Mrs. Raskolnikov was
a wonderful teacher.

She inspired meto get
my first chemistry set.

I was just nine
years old at the time...

Or was I ten?

No, no. Age ten was when I
cameup with my very first invention,

a mouse-driven slingshot.

So nothing will help.

Nothing but finding a partnerto
sing with in the Duetathon.

Sing? You mean this
Duet-a-ma-whats-ityou've

been telling me about

has something
to do with singing?

Sure. It's a contest to seewhich
two Fraggles can sing the best duet.

Sure. It's a contest to seewhich
two Fraggles can sing the best duet.

Wow! That sounds great!

-Yeah! Do you think
so?-Sure! I love to sing.

Yeah, so do I.

-Then you know what?-What?

We've solved your problem.

-We have?-Yup.

I'll be your partnerin
the duet-a-whatever.

You will?

Wow!

And then at bar 57,
the drums come in.

And then the big drums.

-Is there a problem,
nephew?-Well, yeah, there is.

But there won't be as soonas
I explain something to you.

Well, explain quickly! We must
continue to rehearse our song.

Yeah, well you see, Matt,
Wembley's a very sensitive Fraggle.

-Wembley?-Yeah.

-Wembley...-Wembley,
my roommate,

-my very best friend.-Oh, yes!
Gobo's little friend, Wembley.

Yes, yes. Of course. Yes.

Yeah. Well, anyway, the Duetathonis
Wembley's most favorite Fraggle event.

Yeah. Well, anyway, the Duetathonis
Wembley's most favorite Fraggle event.

-Yes.-And well, we
always sing in it, together.

Oh, yes I see! What a
nobleself-sacrificing Fraggle you are.

-I am?-Yes, of course.

You would give upour
glorious moment together

to save your little
friendfrom disappointment.

Yeah. Well, I see, I think
it's the only right thing to do.

I agree, and that's why
I'm going to dowhat you ask.

That's great!

And sing in the Duetathonwith
your little friend, Wembley.

Yes.

Let's see.

-Hey, hey! I got
one.-What, what?

When Poison Cacklers make us tremble,
we get so scared, we forget to wemble.

Don't take this personally,
Wembley. But do I look like someone

who'd wemble in the first place?

I got it! I got it!

Draw a tower, draw a
roofWork all day and never goof

Great, huh?

I don't wanna hurtyour
feelings, Cotterpin,

but can you really imagine a
Fragglesinging about working all day?

-I see your point.-Yeah.

But what are we
gonna do, Wembley?

I can only think of
songsabout Doozer stuff

and you can only think of
songsabout Fraggle stuff.

Well, we may be different,
but we're still friends, right?

Yeah.

Then we'll just have to
singabout friendship stuff.

Very good. You're
pretty smartfor a Fraggle.

Well, you're pretty
fun for a Doozer.

-Think, Wembley.
Think.-Yes, yes.

Can you think of a wordthat
rhymes with difference?

Sure!

Plifference. Plifference.

Wembley, plifference
is not a word.

-What am I gonna do?-Gobo! Gobo!

Gobo, I want you to
knowthat I'm willing to drop

out of the Duetathonso you
can sing with your Uncle Matt.

That's not the problem anymore.
Matt's decided to sing with Wembley.

But that leaves you
out. Sing with Red.

Oh, no! Boober, you
should singwith Mokey.

Oh, no, Tosh. That's not fair to
you. You better sing with Red.

-What about
you?-Now, just a minute!

-He can sing with his
Uncle Matt!-That's okay then.

Except for one little thing.

-What?-What's that?

That leaves nobody
singing with Wembley.

Gonna be in a
DuetathonWhoopee, wow and wee!

We're gonna be
terrificCotterpin and me

Hi. Hi.

Hi. Little Wembley, I've been
lookingall over the rock for you.

Yeah? How come?

Well, I have decided to do you the
honorof singing with you in the Duetathon.

Gee, Gobo's Uncle Matt.
Now, that's real nice of you.

-Yes, isn't it, though?-But
it's really not necessary.

It isn't?-Nope. I've
already got a partner.

It isn't?-Nope. I've
already got a partner.

Oh, boy!

It's time to register for
the Duetathon. Let's go!

Yes, and I will tell the
maestrothat I'll be singing with...

Gobo!

All right, all right, all right.
Listen to your musical director.

It's time to register
for the Duetathon.

And I want it done in a
quietand orderly fashion.

Thank you. That's better.

Now, one at a time,
slowly and carefully,

approach the desk and give me your
nameand the name of your partner.

Quiet, quiet!

Wembley Fraggle
and Cotterpin Doozer.

Would you repeat that, please?

Yeah, I said, Wembley
Fraggleand Cotterpin Doozer.

This is no time to play
games, young Fraggle.

I'm trying to organize
an important event.

Well, I'm not playing gamesand
I wanna sing with Cotterpin.

Well, I'm not playing gamesand
I wanna sing with Cotterpin.

But that's ridiculous.

You can't sing in the
Duetathonwith a Doozer.

-Why not?-Well...

Because this is the Fraggle
Duetathon, that's why.

The Duetathon is a
fine oldFraggle tradition.

And you just can't go
changing the rulesfor a Doozer.

Why, it's truly the silliest
thingl've ever heard.

Well, if this contestis a
fine old Fraggle tradition,

then I don't know if I
wannabe a Fraggle anymore.

Yeah?

Well, hoity-toy. "I don't want
to be a Fraggle anymore."

When I was 13, I fell in
lovefor the very first time.

Her name was
Henrietta Higglethorpe.

No one could square a
hypotenuselike Henrietta Higglethorpe.

One Thursday afternoon
after math class,

Henrietta and I, we were
walking homefrom school...

And all the Fraggleswill
be there to hear the song

And all the Fraggleswill
be there to hear the song

that Wembley and I wrote.

And where is this
Fraggle anyway?

-I bet he forgot all
about you.-He did not.

My mom and dad told meyou
can never trust a Fraggle.

And they are just
too silly to depend on.

My mom and dad they told
me Fraggleslie all the time.

And they forget everything
that they sayright after they say it.

My mom and dad saidall
Fraggles hate Doozers.

Yeah, and they don't
careabout what we feel at all.

My mom and dad saidthat
Fraggles will steal...

Will you be quiet?

You drill bits don't
knowwhat you're talking about.

Cotterpin, we just
don't wanna say,

"We told you so," if the
Fraggle lets you down.

Cotterpin!

Cotterpin, I've been
lookingall over for you!

What have you got to
sayfor yourselves now?

Cotterpin! You can't
be in the Duetathon.

-We told you so!-We told you so!

My friends were right! You
Fraggles do hate Doozers.

That's not true! That's not true!
That's not true! That's not true!

Yeah? Then why can't
I bein the Duetathon?

Because it's supposed
to bejust for Fraggles.

-So much for
friendship stuff.-But...

There is only one thing
to say. Thanks for nothing.

But, Cotterpin! Cotterpin, wait!

All I know is that you've
gotjust as much right to sing

in the Duetathon
as anybody else.

And I'm gonna go back

and tell the other Fragglesthat
a Duetathon without you in it

isn't worth having!

-You think they're going to
believe that?-Of course they will

because Fraggles
don't hate anybody.

Yeah? Well, I'll
believethat when I see it.

See you around, Fraggle.

We don't hate anybody! We
don't! I know that's true. It's gotta be.

Quiet everybody! I've got
somethingto say about some stuff.

And it's this. The Duetathon is supposedto
be fun, but I don't see how it can be

And it's this. The Duetathon is supposedto
be fun, but I don't see how it can be

if it means leaving someone out!

But you're not talking about
someone, you foolish fellow.

-You're talking about
a Doozer.-A Doozer?

So what? Cotterpin'sas
good as you and me.

Maybe even better, 'cause she
helped mewhen no one else would.

Yeah, but that doesn't matter.

The Duetathon is
just for Fraggles!

-And that's the way it has always
been.-Well, I've got news for you.

Just because something's
always been, doesn't make it right.

-Does it?-No.

And if my friend Cotterpincan't
be in the Duetathon,

I don't wanna have
anything to do with it!

I agree with Wembley.

If Cotterpin Doozer can't singin
the Duetathon, I won't either.

Neither will I.

-That goes for me.-And me too.

We won't sing! We
won't sing! We won't sing!

Oh, well, that leaves nobodyleft
to sing in the Duetathon.

Oh, well, that leaves nobodyleft
to sing in the Duetathon.

-What? What?-We'll have
to call the whole thing off.

Listen, I've got a better idea.

Instead of canceling
the Duetathon,

and making everyone unhappy,
why not just let Cotterpin sing?

-Yeah!-Yeah, how about that?

Why, that's the most
brilliant ideal've ever heard!

Enough of this loitering
about, everyone.

We've got to get
ready for the Duetathon.

Yay! Let's go.

Yeah. Now all I have to do is
seeif I can get my partner back.

I wouldn't worry
about it, Fraggle.

'Cause that was the best
friendship stuffl've ever heard.

I had always thought the
worldWas full of mystery

I had seen so many facesThat were strange
I had seen so many facesThat were strange

And it sometimes seemedThat
each one was my enemy

And I said our fighting
waysWould never change

But I learned to meet
my brotherln my enemy

And I learned that we
areNone of us alone

For I found a friend
who's different

-And he cares for
me-And she cares for me

And I know a placeWe
share can be our home

We are the children of tomorrow

Each one is different
and the same

Help us to live here with our
otherOur brother, one in heart

One in hope, one in name
All right now, everybody!

We are the children of tomorrow
We are the children of tomorrow

Wonderful!

Each one is different
and the same

Help us to live here with our
otherOur brother, one in heart

One in hope, one in name

-We are the children of tomorrow-We
are the children of tomorrow

Each one is different
and the same

Help us to live here
with our otherOur brother

One in heart, one
in hope, one in name

We are the children of tomorrow

Each one is different
and the same

Help us to live here
with our otherOur brother

One in heart One
in hope One in hope

One in name

Sprocket, what have you done
for Lucinda? She is beautiful.

You sang to her?

Of course, that's the solution.

You know, there is something magicalabout
music, Sprocket. There really is.

But tell me, where did
you learn that song?

day Let the music play
