Post by bunniefuu »

Hi, I'm pablo.

My name's tyrone.

I'm uniqua.

I'm tasha.

And my name's austin.

All: and we're...

♪ Your backyard friends, the backyardigans ♪

♪ Together in the backyard again ♪

Pablo: ♪ in the place where we belong ♪

Uniqua: ♪ where we'll probably sing a song ♪

Tasha: ♪ and we'll maybe dance along

All: ♪ we've got the whole wide world in our yard to explore ♪

♪ We always find things we've never seen before ♪

♪ That's why every day we're back for more ♪

♪ With your friends,

♪ The backyardigans

Backyardigans: "who goes there?"

Who goes there?!

Oh, it's you.

Hi, it's me, tyrone.

I'm a museum guard.

There's lots of important stuff in museums,

So somebody has to keep it safe,

And that somebody is me.

(Gasps)

Who goes there?!

(Gust of wind)

Hmm...

Looks like this time it's only a leaf,

But next time...

It could be a thief!

That's why a guard always has to be

On guard.

Tonight's the big night.

I'm starting my brand new job...

At the museum,

With its big rooms...

Filled with statues...

And paintings!

Who goes there?!

It's me, tasha,

The curator of the museum.

That means I'm the boss.

You must be the new guard.

Yup. Sure am.

I'm a guard, on guard!

Who goes there?

Okay.

Come on, I'll show you around the museum.

Here's the egyptian art room.

Egyptian art. Got it!

Tasha: and here are some of our finest statues.

Tyrone: impressive.

Tasha: the oil painting room.

Tyrone: very colorful.

Let me guess...

Greek art?

Tasha: exactly.

Tasha: finally!

We're getting this room ready

For a new exhibit.

So please, keep it extra clean.

Extra clean. No problem!

Tasha: that's it. Just remember:

Nothing is to be touched,

Moved, broken,

Or messed up in any way.

Don't worry, curator tasha,

Everything'll be just the way you left it.

Excellent!

I'm going home,

And I'll see you in the morning.

Good night.

Well, better do my rounds

And make sure the museum is safe and sound.

Hey, what's the matter, mr. Museum guard?

Oh, I'm in big trouble.

How come?

I got paint everywhere,

You guys are running around,

And the entire museum is a mess.

(Horse whickers, hooves clop)

(Sighs)

I'm gonna lose my job.

Uh... Yeah. Pretty much.

Pretty much?

Hey, why is the door to this room open?

Uh...

Tasha: (gasps)

(Gasps)

Did you do this?

Yes, but I can explain.

You don't have to explain a thing.

This is beautiful!

It... It is?

Yes.

And I'm gonna hang it in the museum.

All: yay! Awesome!

Go guard! Great job!

Ahhh! Who's that?

Oh, that's some of the art.

Apparently they talk and walk around

And stuff.

Ahhh!

Oh, curator tasha,

There's no need to run in fright.

Very strange things

Happen in museums in the night.

But when the daylight comes,

We always go right back.
