TUNESMITH TUESDAY - "Song of the Cebu" From Veggietales




Song Of The Cebu
From Veggietales


Narrator: Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls! 
Larry the CucumberPresents, in a sequential image, 
stereophonic, multimedia event, The Song of the Cebu!

Larry: Cebu! This is a song about a boy ... a song 
about a little boy and his cebus ... a song about a 
little boy and his three cebus ... the little boy 
who had a sick cebu, a sad cebu and a mute cebu. 
And also a Hippo! Um ... um ... this is a picture of 
me at the airport. This is my Aunt Ruth. This is me 
at a bullfight. This is me fighting the bull

Jimmy, Jerry & Junior: Ohh!

Larry: This is me and the bull

Jimmy, Jerry & Junior: Ahh!

Larry: This is me and the bull and ... I think that's 
the bull's cousin. He's a cebu!

Archibald: Hold it! You call this a multimedia event? 
This is a slide projector and a bed sheet! And what on 
Earth is a cebu, anyway?

Larry: It's kind of like a cow. See?

Archibald: Yes. Well, very good. This could be interesting. 
Carry on!

Larry: Cebu! Sing it with me! Cebu!

Jimmy, Jerry & Junior: Cebu!

Larry: Boy is riding with cebu

Jimmy, Jerry & Junior: Boy is riding with cebu

Larry: Into town in his canoe

Jimmy, Jerry & Junior: Into town in his canoe

Larry: Sick cebu is rowing and sneezing. Achoo 
moo moo, achoo moo moo achoo moo moo, 
achoo moo moo moo moo

Jimmy, Jerry & Junior: Achoo moo moo, achoo 
moo moo, achoo moo moo achoo moo moo, 
achoo moo moo, achoo moo moo moo moo

Larry: Hippo chewing on bamboo

Jimmy, Jerry & Junior: Hippo chewing on bamboo

Larry: Can't see boy and three cebus

Jimmy, Jerry & Junior: Can't see boy and three cebus

Larry: Sad cebu is rowing and crying. Boo-hoo 
moo moo, boo-hoo moo moo boo-hoo moo moo, 
boo-hoo moo moo moo moo

Jimmy, Jerry & Junior: Boo-hoo moo moo, boo-hoo 
moo moo, boo-hoo moo moo, boo-hoo moo moo, 
boo-hoo moo moo, boo-hoo moo moo moo moo

Larry: Cebu!

Jimmy, Jerry & Junior: Cebu!

Larry: Cebu!

Jimmy, Jerry & Junior: Cebu!

All: Achoo moo moo, boo-hoo moo moo, boo-hoo 
moo moo, achoo moo moo achoo moo moo, boo-hoo 
moo moo, cebu!

Larry: Hippo seen by mute cebu

Jimmy, Jerry & Junior: Hippo seen by mute cebu

Larry: Tries to tell the other two

Jimmy, Jerry & Junior: Tries to tell the other two

Larry: Mute cebu is waving and grunting. Mmm-hmm 
mmm mmm, mmm-hmm mmm mmm, mmm-hmm 
mmm mmm, mmm-hmm mmm mmm mmm mmm

Jimmy, Jerry & Junior: Mmm-hmm mmm mmm, 
mmm-hmm mmm mmm, mmm-hmm mmm mmm, 
mmm-hmm mmm mmm mmm mmm

Larry: Uh-oh

Archibald: Wait! What happens next?

Larry: Um ...

Archibald: Does the hippo see them? Is the poor mute 
cebu successful in communicating the imminent danger 
to the other passengers? Is the boy injured? Why is 
the sad cebu sad? Is the canoe wood or aluminum?

Larry: Oh look! There's me and Bob at Sea World! 
Oh, wow. Forgot about that one. There's me and that 
bull again

Archibald: You can't just start a song and leave 
it hanging like that! You know, I've come to expect 
a lot more from you. This is quite disappointing! 
I'm going to have to speak to Bob about this

Larry: Oh look, a cebu! Cebu!

Jimmy, Jerry & Junior: Cebu!

Larry: No, wait ... that's a water buffalo

Jimmy, Jerry & Junior: No more song about cebu! 
Need another verse or two! Audience is standing 
and leaving, bye-bye moo, bye-bye moo, bye-bye
moo, bye-bye moo moo moo moo

Jimmy: I want my money back!

Jerry: Yeah, that'd be ... that'd be good
