The Blues With Larry
Narrator:
And now it's time for The Blues with Larry, the part of the show where Larry comes out and sings the blues
Larry:
Hey, everybody! I’m gonna lay down some blues
All sunshine and roses
No rain came my way
I said, all sunshine and roses
No rain came my way. Mm-mm
My dad bought me ice cream
Oh, happy, happy, happy, happy day!
Mm hm. I ate up that ice cream, got some on my face
That's right, right on my face
I said, I ate up that ice cream
Got some on my face
Got some on the table
Oh happy, sticky, happy, sticky, happy, happy, sticky, happy place
Blind Lemon Lincoln:
Hey man, whatcho doin'?
Larry:
I’m singin' the blues!
Blind Lemon Lincoln:
Aw, man, the blues is for singin' when you feel sad
Larry:
But I don't feel sad
Blind Lemon Lincoln:
Man, then you got no business singin' the blues
Here, lemme help you out
Take this (hands Larry ice cream)
Larry:
Cool! Ice cream! Thanks!
Blind Lemon Lincoln:
Now gimmie back that ice cream
Larry:
You took my ice cream
You took it from me
You took my ice cream
You took it away from me
Blind Lemon Lincoln:
Oh yeah! Now you're gettin' it
Now listen up
(harmonica solo)
Larry:
But I'm still not sad. I’ll just have a ... cookie!
Blind Lemon Lincoln:
No, no, no, man! You almost had it
C’mon, like this
You took away my ice cream!
You took it away from me
My sweet creamy ice cream
I don't care ’bout no cookie, woo!
Now try it again
Larry:
My cookies and ice cream:
They both gone away
Blind Lemon Lincoln:
That's right. Mm hm. Feel it
Larry:
My cookies and ice cream: they both gone away
Blind Lemon Lincoln:
Aw, sweet man, sweet
Larry:
But that don't bother me none!
I got me my freshly baked...
Strudel!
Blind Lemon Lincoln:
Wha? Strudel? Man, you can't say strudel in the blues!
That don’t even rhyme
Larry:
Well , what about... poodle! 'Cause I got a poodle
Poodle:
Arf!
Blind Lemon Lincoln:
Oh, no. Don't tell me you're gonna eat that poodle
Larry:
No, I'm just gonna pet him!
Pettin' poodles makes me happy
Poodle:
Arf arf!
Blind Lemon Lincoln:
Sorry, man. You way too happy to sing the blues
Polka Guy:
'Allo! Would you like to polka?
Larry:
Sure!
Don't got no ice cream, no cookies, no strudel
Don't got no ice cream, no cookies, no strudel
But I'm yodel-a-dee, yodel-a-dee yodel-a-dee happy-hoo!
Just here with my poodle
Poodle:
Arf!
Larry:
That's right! Oh yeah!
I'm yodel-a-dee, yodel-a-dee, yodel-a-dee happy-hoo!
Just me and my poodle
Poodle:
Arf arf!
