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!
