[Arf arf]

Oh! Oh!

In an old house in paris

That was covered with vines

Lived little girls in straight lines.

They left the house at half past :.

[Ringing]

In two straight lines...

In snow...

Or shine.

Heh heh! Oh!

Ha ha ha!

The smallest one

Was madeline.

Hee hee hee hee!

Ha ha ha ha!

Ooh!ooh! Ooh! Ooh!

They lived with their dear miss clavel

Who always made the girls feel well.

It was that special time of year

When holidays were coming near.

The house was filled with boughs of holly,

And everyone was feeling jolly.

There were so many good things cooking,

The girls just couldn't keep from looking.

Ahh! Ooh!

Chocolate cream puffs!

We must save those for the eve of noel.

Please, mrs. Murphy, s'il vous plait.

Just one little taste.

Well, I suppose.

Ahh!

And one for each of the other girls.

Oh! Oh! Oh!

Ah!

Later that day,

When the girls took their walk,

They ran into a neighbor,

And all stopped to talk.

Bonjour, monsieur benét.

Bonjour, girls.

Comment allez-vous?

How are you?

Not well, miss clavel.

You see, I'm afraid we will have to move.

Oh, monsieur benét.

You see, I do not have enough money to feed my pets.

I am so sorry.

[Girls laughing]

Yay! Yay! Yay!

This gives me an idea.

[Whispering]


Then we could help monsieur benét with his animals.

C'est une bonne idée.

What a good idea.

Nothing can be very much sweeter

Than a homemade puppet theater.

Rowwr!

Ah!

Come, mes petites,

It is time for bed.

But, miss clavel,

We must finish our puppet theater.

Oui, miss clavel. S'il vous plait.

It is very late.

You will finish tomorrow, mes enfants.

[Telephone ringing]

In the middle of night,

Miss clavel turned on the light

And said...

Oh! Something is not right.

[Ring ring]

Allo!

She spoke into her telephone

And heard the voice of dr. Cohen.

Miss clavel, I am so sorry to bother you,

But something is not right

With your aunt celine.

Oh, dear.

She is very ill.

I am afraid you must come right away.

So, miss clavel went into the night.

It was not a very happy sight.

There goes miss clavel.

She is leaving us.

Everybody had to cry.

Not a single eye was dry.

Do not worry, children.

Miss clavel will be at her aunt's house near notre-dame,

And she will come back before long.

Early next morning,

The girls heard the pace

Of the head of trustees, lord cucuface.

He announced who would take miss clavel's place.

Good morning, little girls.

While miss clavel is gone,

I have arranged for the best of care for you.

Merci, lord cucuface.

I was fortunate to locate the headmaster

Of the frostbite academy,

A boys school,

And known for its perfect discipline.

Perfect discipline?!

He has given up his holiday vacation

To be here,

So I expect you all

To be on your very best behavior.

Oui, lord cucuface.

Now say bonjour to mr. Grump.

[Eek eek]

Egh! Nasty creatures.

Bonjour, mr. Grump.

Well, I must be on my way.

Toodle-oo.

Au revoir, lord cucuface.

Just as soon as lord cucuface had parted,

Mr. Grump was anxious to get started.

Those two lines could be a bit straighter,

Could they not, young ladies?!

Oui, mr. Grump.

Attention!

And what in heaven's name is that?

What do I see over there?

Is that a smudge of dirt?

No, mr. Grump,

Just a fallen pine needle.

Well, that will not do, will it?

No, mr. Grump.

Then we shall remove it.

Not just that piece!

The entire tree.

We don't want it to shed any more needles now, do we?

No, mr. Grump.

And while you're at it,

You may take down these ghastly decorations,

All of them.

Ah! Ah! Ah!

Oh! Oh! Oh!

Not too much later the very same day,

The decorations were packed up

And all stored away.

Oh.

It was especially hard

To see the tree out in the yard.

With mr. Grump now on their team,

It was time for quite a new regime.

In the morning at :,

A whistle sounded at the door.

[Tweeeet]

First there was a long inspection,

And grump demanded pure perfection

In each and every place and section.


Hmmph!

Unsatisfactory.

Hee hee hee!

Downstairs, with a lack of passion,

They faced the morning's meager ration.

We love our bread,

We love our butter--

Halt!

There is no time

For silly poems about butter!

We have a brisk walk to take.

They left the house at :

In two straight lines.

Brrr!

It is so cold.

Being cold helps build character,

Does it not, little girls?

Oui, mr. Grump.

[Arf arf]

Halt!

We will not tolerate animals

Joining us on our walk,

Will we, young ladies?

No, mr. Grump.

[Whimpering]

♪ We love the holidays--

We do not want to bother the neighbors

With our caterwauling,

Do we, little girls?

No, mr. Grump.

So while the girls were on their walk,

They could not play,

They could not talk.

They could not stop to fool around

With painters, mimes, or juggling clowns.

Ha ha! Ha ha! Ha ha!

Oh! Oh! Oh!

It is not wise to talk to street people,

Is it, young ladies?

No, mr. Grump.

Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!

Ahh! Ahh! Ahh!

Come, come.

Have some willpower

And keep your eyes straight ahead.

Such a confection is bad for our teeth,

Is it not, little girls?

Oui, mr. Grump.

I am going upstairs

To prepare the first questions

On your history exams.

Every Kn*fe and fork will be polished when I return,

Will they not, young ladies?

Oui, mr. Grump.

Oh! Oh! Oh!

Mes amies, I think we need some advice.

The girls, not feeling glad at all,

Gave dear miss clavel a call.

Allo?

Oh, miss clavel, we miss you so much.

Please come back soon.

I am afraid I cannot come back for a while, mes petites.

But mr. Grump has changed everything.

He has no holiday spirit.

But, mes enfants,

All that matters is that your own hearts

Are full of holiday spirit.

Oh. I wish my holiday spirit

Were as bright as this fork.

Me, too. Moi, aussi.

I have an idea.

Let us use our holiday spirit

To bake mr. Grump a cake.

Bonne idée, madeline!

Then we can finish our puppet theater.

So, they took out the things

That they needed for baking.

What a wonderful cake they soon would be making.

Mr. Grump is still in the classroom.

We must hurry, mes amies.

The cake must be a surprise.

Is the oven ready, danielle?

It is not very hot.

We do not have much time.

Quick. Turn it up, danielle,

All the way.

When from a walk old benét was returning,

He sniffed...

Then he saw that something was burning.

Ah! [Bawk]

Oh! Oh! [Bawk bawk]

Fire! Fire!

A lesson on cooking

The girls were now learning.

So, we have decided to become cooks.

Or is it firebugs?

We are very sorry.

But we did it for you, monsieur.

No buts!

Now it is time to clean up our mess,


Is it not?

Oui, mr. Grump.

You may take as long as you want,

For there will be no puppet show.

Then the girls took up washcloth

And dustpan and broom

And cleaned up the kitchen,

Then went to their room.

Mr. Grump has ruined our holiday.

No decorations.

No trees.

And no puppet show.

Mes amies, there is only one thing to do.

Hmm.

[Tweet]

Dinnertime!

The headmaster whistled

And gave a loud shout.

Young ladies!

Then he searched through the old house,

Both inside and out,

But the girls were not there.

Huh?!

The girls had gone out.

The girls were all missing.

They were not around.

Come back here at once!

Mr. Grump knew that they had to be found.

Braving the snowfall in lines parallel,

The girls hoped to locate their dear miss clavel.

How much further is it?

I cannot see anything.

I think we are lost.

Do not worry.

We will find our way soon.

I have never seen so much snow.

[Rrow-ow]

Look up there, mes amies. Look!

I knew we would find our way.

It is notre-dame!

Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!

Ahh! Ahh! Ahh!

How beautiful!

[Grrr]

Ah! Ah! Ah!

A witch!

No! A ghost!

Maybe an angel.

[Grrr]

[Arf arf]

[Arf arf]

Genevieve?

Little girls?

Is it you?

Miss clavel! Miss clavel! Miss clavel!

Are you coming home? We need you!

Mes petites, I was on my way

To spend christmas eve with you.

What are you doing so far from home?

It is a long story, miss clavel.

In the cold streets of paris,

A scowl on his face,

The headmaster searched everywhere,

Every place...

But of the little girls,

He found not a trace.

As they neared the old house,

The girls were still fearful

That headmaster grump would give them an earful.

It is very late, mes petites.

You must go straight to bed.

Remember, you must never leave this way again.

And where is mr. Grump?

Mrs. Murphy explained

That the dreaded headmaster had run out of the door

Going fast and then faster.

Ah! Ah! Ah!

Oh, dear!

Miss clavel,

Must you leave us again tomorrow?

Oui, chloe.

My aunt still needs me.

But what about mr. Grump?

I am sure he will return soon.

That is what we are afraid of.

Tonight, let us find joy in the holiday.

But we have no decorations.

What matters, little girls,

Is what is in your hearts,

Not what is on your walls.

As the big storm raged on

And the snowdrifts grew deep,

Somehow madeline could not get to sleep.

Mr. Grump may be an ogre.

But even the abominable snowman

Should not be outside in a storm like this.

Ah!

Madeline froze in her tracks,

In a manner of speaking,

And called to the creature who seemed to be creaking.


Mr. Grump, is that you?

M-m-madeline?

Wh-what are you doing out here at this hour?

Madeline, we must have a word,

Must we not?

Oui, monsieur.

The following morning

Was brighter and fair.

The little girls dressed,

Then they crept to the stair,

Fearful of finding the headmaster there.

Regardez!

Holly on the banister.

Oh! Oh! Oh!

Look! Our decorations!

They are all back up!

Venez ici!

Come! Quickly!

Oh! Oh! Oh!

The gingerbread house!

Who could have done such a wonderful thing?

Perhaps it was miss clavel.

It was not i, little girls.

Our puppet theater, it is finished.

[Snoring]

Päre noel!

Oh! Ah! Ooh!

Father christmas!

Mmm.

[Yawn]

Joyeux noel, päre noel!

Merry christmas!

Ho ho ho!

Joyeux noel, my little friends.

Did you give us all this, päre noel?

Oui, ma cherie,

But I could not have done it

Without the help of my little elf,

Madeline.

And this elf could not have done it

Without the help of...

Ah! Ah! Ah!

Mr. Grump! Mr. Grump! Mr. Grump!

Then mr. Grump told of his search in the snow,

For he found a truth he had lost long ago,

And he learned from the wind

And the icy snowdrift

That the love of a child

Is a most precious gift.

I hope you can forgive me

For the way I treated you.

Mais oui!

Of course!

We forgive you!

Then all of a sudden,

A wave of good feeling

Caused laughter and giggles and...

[Knock on door]

And tickles and screaming.

¡Feliz navidad, amigos!

Merry christmas!

Come, we have a surprise.

[Laughter]

Päre noel!

My turn!

[Laughter]

All afternoon,

There was giving and sharing

And old and new friends

Who were loving and caring.

Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha!

Mesdames et monsieurs,

It is my pleasure to announce

The premiere performance

Of the old house puppet theater.

Our first show is a benefit

For our good neighbor monsieur benét.

And so the monkey passed the cup

As generous donors filled it up.

[Applause and cheering]

Grr-rr-row!

Growl!

Joyeux noel, little girls.

I will return soon.

After the final farewells were said,

The girls brushed their teeth

And went to bed.

But before you could say, "there isn't any more,"

A tall, dark figure appeared at the door.

I...i hope you had a pleasant holiday,

Little girls.

Oui, oui, mr. Grump.

Thank you for the gingerbread house.

And the decorations.

And the puppet theater.

It is magnifique.

I, uh...i have a favor to ask of you.

A favor? A favor? A favor?

Qu'est-ce que c'est?


It is silly.

We love silly.

Could you call me... Gramp?

Mais oui, mr. Gramp.

Not mister. Just gramp.

You see, I always wanted to have grandchildren.

Gramp. Just gramp.

He wants to be called gramp.

Tomorrow's walk will be at a.m.,

And I thought we might build a snowman...

Or maybe .

Ha ha ha!

Good night, young ladies.

Good night, good night, dear...gramp.

Tears of joy filled his eyes

As he stepped from the door.

And that's all there is.

There isn't any more.

♪ It's time to go, au revoir ♪

♪ But you may shout encore! ♪

♪ That's all there is

♪ There isn't

♪ Any more
