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
My dad bought me ice cream
Oh happy, happy, happy-happy day!
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! What you doing?
Larry: I'm singin' the blues!
Lincoln: Aw, man! The blues is for singin' when you feel sad!
Larry: But I don't feel sad!
Lincoln: Then you got no business singing the blues. Here, let me help you out. Take this. (Hands Larry ice cream.)
Larry: Cool! Ice cream! Thanks!
Lincoln: Now gimme back that ice cream! (Grabs ice cream and eats it.)
Larry: Y-you took my ice cream!
You took it from me
You took my ice cream
You took it away from me!
Lincoln: Oh, yeah. Now you getting' it. Now listen up! (Plays harmonica.)
Larry: But I'm still not sad! I'll just have a...cookie!
Lincoln: Aw, 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 about no cookie! Whoo!
(Grabs cookie and smashes it with his guitar.)
Now, try it again.
Larry: My cookies and ice cream
They both gone away
Lincoln: That's right. Uh-huh. Feel it.
Larry: My cookies and ice cream
They both gone away
Lincoln: Aw, sweet man, sweet.
Larry: But that don't bother me none! I've got me my freshly-baked...strudel!
Lincoln: Strudel!? Man, you can't say "strudel" in the blues! They don't even rhyme.
Larry: Well, how about "poodle"? Cause I got a poodle!
Lincoln: Oh, no! Don't tell me you gonna eat that poodle!
Larry: Nah. I'm just gonna pet it. Pettin' poodles makes me happy!
Lincoln: Sorry, man. You way too happy to sing the blues. (Leaves.)
Polka man: Hello! Would you like to polka?
Larry: Sure! (Throws aside strudel.)
Don't got no ice cream
No cookies, no strudel
Don't got no ice cream
No cookies, no strudel
But I'm yodel-laydee-yodel-laydee-yodel-laydee happy-hoo
Just here with my poodle!
That right
I'm yodel-laydee-yodel-laydee-yodel-laydee happy-hoo
Just me and my poodle!
Poodle: Yip, yip!
Narrator: This has been the blues with Larry. Tune in next time---er, never mind. Larry's not likely to be singing the blues again anytime soon.
Poodle: Yip!
