F.Y.I. before reading this posting…Isabel has seen VeggieTales: King George and the Ducky so many times now that I often have one of the songs stuck in my head for weeks on end. Which is fine, the lesson behind it is one everyone (adults even) should hear over and over again. But today the lyrics eluded me…
Anyway, today Isabel just started singing “…sent from up above…” over and over and over again. At first I gave it no thought and then when Gino got home from work, he mentioned, “Isn’t that from a poem or prayer or something”. I couldn’t place it and was just enjoying hearing her sing song voice sing it over and over and over again. While cleaning up after dinner I burst into song singing “Endangered Love” the silly song that Larry sings on King George and the Ducky. When BAM! it hits me! That’s the song Isabel has been singing all day long…”sent from up above…” Maybe we can get her singing it on video; too cute!
VeggieTales: King George and the Ducky
“Endangered Love”
Words by Mike Nawrocki
Narrator:And now it’s time for silly songs with Larry; the part of the show where Larry comes out and sings a silly song…
We join Larry as he follows the tragic saga of Barbara Manatee in the day time drama; “Endangered Love”
Barbara Manatee! (manatee, manatee)
You are the one for me! (one for me, one for me)
Sent from up above! (up above, up above)
You are the one I love! (Barbara, Oh Barbara)
Please don’t cry, Barbara. You’re a nice manatee. You’ve been so good to me. But I must go into the world and do noble things for the good of all and you can’t come because you don’t speak French.
Aurevoir!
But if you leave Bill who will take me to the ball? Who’s going to take me to the ball, Bill? I have a new dress and shoes and new manatee lipstick. Who will take me to the ball?
I’ll take you to the ball Barbara Manatee!
Please don’t go…I must.
Don’t go…I must.
Don’t…must.
Don’t, don’t!…Must, must!
Barbara Manatee (manatee, manatee)
You are the one for me (one for me, one for me)
Sent from up above (manatee from heaven)
You are the one I love
Barbara Manatee (manatee, manatee)
I’ll be your mon ami (mon ami, mon ami)
I’ll take you to the ball (to the ball, to the ball)
I hope you’re not too tall ( you might have trouble dancing)
Bill! I’ve learned French!
You have?!
Mai oui! Je sui manatee, See?!
Oui! Oui! Mon ami! I’ve always knew you could! I really hope you would! Now can we go into the world and do noble things for the good of all?
Yes! But first Bill…will you take me to the ball? Oh, Bill…will you take me to the ball?
I can’t dance
You can’t?!
No.
I must go.
Please don’t go!…I must!
Don’t go!…I must!
Don’t!…Must!
Don’t, Don’t!…Must, Must!
Barbara Manatee! (manatee manatee)
You are the one…
Larry, what are you doing?
Just…watching a little…T.V….Bob?
Well, maybe you should read a book.
Yeah, okay
This has been silly songs with Larry. Tune in next time to hear Bill say:
Barbara! I’ve learned to dance!
Oh, Bill!
