[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 with
the backyardigans *

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 *

All:
"mission to mars"

Uniqua:
mission control,

The space shuttle
is ready for lift-off!

Oh, hi!
I'm commander uniqua.

I'm an astronaut.

Me, too!

Me, three!

We're getting ready
to take off

In our space shuttle.

Mission control,

We're ready for
our instructions!

Tasha:
roger that,
commander uniqua.

This is mission control.

Shuttle crew,

We've been receiving
a strange signal

From outer space.

It sounds like this:

(Tapping)

Boinga, boinga,
boinga!

We don't know
what's making it,

But we do know it's coming
from the planet mars!

Shuttle crew,
your instructions are...

Go to the planet mars
and find out

What's making
that strange sound.

Roger that,
mission control.

Shuttle crew,
we're going to mars!

(Cheering)

**

* Today the crew
of the space shuttle *

* Prepares to head
for the stars *

* Me and my fearless
astronaut team *

* Are off on a mission
to mars *

* We've got an
important assignment *

* A really
significant goal *

* Find out what's making
that "boinga" sound *

* And report back
to mission control *

All:
* we're going to mars!

* We're going to mars!

* A mission
is what we've got *

* We're gonna say
"roger" a lot *

All:
* we're going to mars! *

* We're going to mars!

* We're going to mars!

* We don't know
what lies ahead *

* But we do know
the planet's red *

All:
* we're going to mars!

* What will we find
when we get there? *

* Probably some dirt
that is red there *

* And probably some risks
we'll have to take *

Tyrone:
* the future of space
exploration's at stake *

Tasha:
* quit singing and go,
for goodness sake! *

All:
* it's time to get going
before it's too late! *

* We're going to mars!

* We're going to mars!

* We're going to mars!

Let's go to mission control!

Tasha:
where the sky
is blue and clear!

Uniqua:
and the space shuttle
is ready for lift-off!

Tyrone:
stand by for lift-off,
shuttle crew.

Prepare for-

Wait a minute!

I'm getting another
signal from mars!

Voice:
boinga, boinga, boinga!

Boinga, boinga, boinga!

Tyrone:
you hear that,
shuttle crew?

Uniqua:
loud and clear,
mission control.

Let's go find out
what's making that sound!

Ten, nine, eight...

Shuttle commander uniqua

Two, one... Ignition!

(Engine roars)

All:
* we're going to mars!

* We're going to mars!

* Blasting into outer space

* With no idea
what we'll face *

All:
* we're going to mars!

* I'm tyrone
of mission control *

* Where we manage
the operation *

* I'm tasha
and I do radio stuff *

* I handle communication

Both:
* we stay in touch
with the flight crew *

* Follow them
on the display *

* They'll radio us
with questions *

* We'll say "roger"
and "a-okay" *

All:
* we're going to mars!

* We're going to mars!

* Flying through
the great unknown *

* My helmet's got
a built-in phone *

All:
* we're going to mars!

* It's millions
of miles away *

* But if you leave
real soon *

* The shuttle
will shuttle you *

* There today

* Just hang a right
at the moon *

All:
* we're going to mars!

* We're going to mars!

Uniqua:

Uniqua:

this is commander uniqua.

We are approaching...

The planet mars.

Tasha:
roger, commander.

Prepare for landing.

Uniqua:
roger, mission control.

Mission control,
this is commander uniqua.

We have landed safely
on mars.

Tyrone:
roger that, commander.

According to my calculations,
this is martian dirt

And these are martian rocks!

Lieutenant austin,
deploy the mars rover.

Roger, commander.

Hey, rover.
We're here, boy!

(Barks)

(Giggles)
hey, boy!

You wanna to play ball,
rover?

(Barks)

(Giggles)
okay, boy!

Go get it!

(Barks)

(Clapping)

Good boy!

(Barks)

No more ball right now,
boy.

(Whimpering)

(Barks and pants)

Lieutenant austin,
is the equipment ready?

Yep! We're ready
for anything!

* We've landed on mars *

* On the red
and rocky ground *

Uniqua:
* now it's time
to get going *

* And look for that sound

* But it's an alien world,
who knows what to expect *

* So before you explore

* Make sure your gear
is checked *

All:
* we're ready for anything

and lots of gear *

Uniqua:

All:

Tasha:
commander, we're getting
that signal again!

Listen!

Voice:
boinga, boinga!

We hear it,
mission control.

According to my
calculations,

It could be coming from
those mountains over there.

Okay, crew,
let's move!

All:
* we're ready for anything

* Anything, anything

* We brought a whole lot,
but why take a chance *

* And while we're exploring

* We might sing and dance

All:

Uniqua:
science officer pablo,
report.

According to my calculations,
we're...

(Boink)

Hey!

What happened?

Pablo:
something just hit me
on the- ow!

It was a rock.

Hey!
I got hit, too!

Ow! Me, too!

It's raining rocks!

It's a meteor shower!

Austin, activate rover
umbrella function!

Austin:
put up your umbrella,
boy!

Rover:
(barks)

Austin:
good boy, rover!

All:
ready for anything!

Tyrone:
shuttle crew,
what's happening?!

Everything's okay,
mission control.

Just a small
meteor shower.

Tasha:
uh...

There's no such thing
as a small meteor shower!

In a few seconds,
they're going to get a lot...

(Loud crash)

All:
bigger!

Austin:
uh-oh.

We need to seek
shelter!

Roger that!

Commander,
over there!

A cave!

Come on,
let's move!

On the count
of three! Ready?

All:
three!

Good thing we had
our helmets on!

We're okay,
mission control.

Stand by.

Tasha:
roger that.

Whoa!

Check it out!
(Echoes)

(Barking)

Not right now,
boy, okay?

(Whimpers)

Uniqua:
I wonder how far down
it goes?

(Cracking)

Pablo:
well, according
to my calculations,

It's a really, really
long way down.

Uniqua:
okay, let's head back.

We don't wanna lose contact
with mission control.

(Cracking)

Did you hear
something?

Austin:
yeah, I heard something.

Rover:
(barking)

All:
(gasp)

Rover:
(barking)

All:
no, no, no. No, ball,
rover!

No, boy! No ball, boy!

All:
uh-oh...

Whoa! Ahhhh!

Ahhhh!

(Whimpering)

Ahhhh!

Whoa!

Ahhhh!

Ahhhhh! Whoa!

Ahhhhh!

Whoa!

Ya-hoo! Yeah! All right!

Whoa!

Cool!

(Splashes)

All:
(panting)

Whoa!

Is everyone okay?
Pablo?

Yeah, I'm okay.

Austin?

Yep. Rover?

Rover?!
Oh no!

Roverrrr!

We lost him.

We're never gonna
see him again.

It's okay, austin.
We'll find him.

We're ready for anything,
remember?

Yeah.
Anything.

Mission control,
this is commander uniqua.

Can you read me?

(Static)

We lost contact
with them,

Didn't we?

Yeah. We're way too
far underground.

Tyrone:
shuttle crew,
this is mission control!

Do you read?

Come in,
shuttle crew!

Our astronauts are
lost forever on mars!

We'll never
see them again!

Tyrone, hello-o-o?!

They're astronauts!

And no matter
what happens,

They would never
ever give up!

I give up.

Me, too.

We're never going
to get out of here.

Austin and pablo:
* we're stuck

* In a lake,
in a cavern *

* In a hole,
in a cave *

* On a distant red planet

* And I'm not feeling brave

* And we've lost
my pal rover *

* That's what bothers
me most *

Pablo:
* my calculations say

* We're pretty much toast

You guys,
we're astronauts!

And astronauts
never give up!

* Who flew all this way

* Through the darkness
of space *

* To explore a new planet
for the whole human race *

* Whose skill got us out
of the meteor shower? *

* Whose skill was that?

* That'd have to be ours

* Yes, we lost touch
with mission control *

* And yes,
we're at the bottom *

* Of a really deep hole

* And yes, we don't know
how to get back to rover *

* But none of that means
that the story is over *

* 'Cause astronauts

* Never give up,
my friends *

* Astronauts never give up *

Austin and pablo:
astronauts never give up?

* That's right!

* Astronauts never give up!

* We're the bravest,
we're the strongest *

* Plus we work the hardest

* Astronauts never give up

* We took
the astronaut pledge! *

* The astronaut oath!

Pablo:
* well which one was it?

* Pretty sure
it was both! *

* When we took
that pledge *

* It said no matter what

* You never call it quits

* If you're an astronaut

* 'Cause astronauts

* Never give up,
my friends *

* Astronauts never give up!

* Sing it!

Austin and pablo:
* astronauts

* Never give up,
no sir! *

* Astronauts never give up! *

(Giggling)

All:
whew!

Pablo and austin:
uh-oh.

Uniqua:
uh-oh is right.

There's nowhere else to go.

Pablo:
now what do we do?

Austin:
we're stuck.

Well, at least things
can't get any worse.

Uh... I think things
are getting worse.

(Bubbling)

What is that?

I don't know,

But according
to my calculations,

It's going to get us!

All:
oh?!

Uniqua:
it's a martian!

Pablo:
it's rover's ball!

It's rover!

(Barking)

Rover!

(In unison)
all right!

I thought I'd never
see you again!

(Barking)

Lieutenant austin,

Activate rover
float function.

Okay, commander!

Rover... Float, boy!
Float!

(Barks)

Uniqua:
ready for anything,
crew?

(In unison)
ready for anything!

Austin:
good boy, rover.

Rover:
(barks)

Voice:
boinga, boinga, boinga!

Boinga, boinga, boinga!

Did you hear that?

That's the sound!

According
to my calculations,

It's coming
from that way!

Uniqua:
come on, let's move!

Austin:
let's go, boy!

All:
whoa...

Austin:
it's an underground city.

Uniqua:
it's an underground
martian city.

Pablo:
if this is a martian city
that means that...that...

Martians live here.

Let's take a closer look.

Voice:
boinga!

Boinga, boinga, boinga!

Stay here, boy.

(Barks)

Good boy!

Rover:
(barking)

Voices:
boinga, boinga-boinga, boinga!

Pablo:
what do we do now?

Uniqua:
we ring the doorbell.

(Doorbell rings)

Little martian:
boinga!

Boinga!

A martian!

Wow!

Uniqua:
hello there.
I'm-

Boinga! Boinga-boinga-boinga!

Boinga-boinga!

Come on.

(Pablo's computer beeps)

Little martian:
boinga! Boinga!

Boinga!

Huh?

Mommy martian:

Uniqua:

Boinga, you're supposed
to be in bed, honey.

It's time for all martians
to be asleep.

Boinga. (Yawns)

Boinga,
earth astronauts!

Hello.

Little martian:

and I'm her mommy.

Little martian:

(Laughing)

She sure says
"boinga" a lot.

Well, "boinga" is an
important word on mars.

Almost everything
is "boinga" here.

Boinga!

* Boinga's a word
we don't understand *

* Well, words are different
in martian land *

* Well, we don't know
your language yet *

* Maybe you could
teach us *

* Sure, you bet!

Little martian:
boinga!

* Almost everything
is boinga here *

* Just in case

* Almost everything
is boinga here *

* It's the martians
favorite word *

these hands? *

* Nope,

Little martian:

on our heads *

* Really?
We wear boinga *

Yeah!

That's good!

Little martian:

Mommy martian:

Mommy martian:

on your boinga? *

* No, we walk on feet

Mommy martian:

* No, we sit on our seat

Little martian:
boinga! Boinga!

* You certainly use
that word a lot *

* Well, it means
a lot of things *

* So why not?

* Is there anything
boinga doesn't mean? *

* Well, maybe there is,

* But not that I've seen

All:

Mommy martian:

(Beeping buttons)

Boinga!

Mommy martian:

Have you been playing
with my cell phone again?

You know that's
not a toy.

Tyrone:

Boinga! Boinga! Boinga!

Boinga!

Hello?

Tyrone:

This is shuttle
commander uniqua

From the planet earth.

Tyrone:

Tyrone?

It's uniqua!

Oh, for goodness sake!

I told you
they'd be okay!

Little martian:
boinga, boinga, boinga!

Uniqua:

We found out what's
making that sound!

Mission accomplished!

Both:

Woo-hoo! Awesome!

She's been calling you
this whole time

On her mommy's cell phone!

And according
to my calculations,

She's a real live
martian!

Little martian:
boinga!

All right!
Awesome!

A martian!
Calling us?

I don't believe it!

Mommy martian:
I'm afraid it's time for us
to go to bed now,

Earth astronauts.

Boinga.

But come back and see us
any time you like.

All:
thanks!

Uniqua:
mission control,

We're ready for further
instructions.

Your instructions
are...

Return to earth!

It's time for a snack!

Report to my house.

My mom made s'mores.

All:

Boinga! Boinga! Boinga!

(Laughing)

Tyrone:
