Lyrics
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: (Spoken) 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. (eats ice cream)
Larry: (Sung) You took my ice cream. You took it from me. You took my ice cream. You took it away from me.
Blind Lemon Lincoln: (Spoken) Oh yeah! Now you're gettin' it. Now listen up. (harmonica solo)
Larry: (Sung) But I'm still not sad. I'll just have a ... cookie!
Blind Lemon Lincoln: (Spoken) No, no, no, man! You almost had it. C'mon, like this. (Sung) You took away my ice cream! You took it away from me. My sweet creamy ice cream, I don't care 'bout no cookie. (Spoken) Now try it again.
Larry: (Sung) My cookies and ice cream: they both gone away.
Blind Lemon Lincoln: (Spoken) That's right. Mm hm. Feel it.
Larry: (Sung) My cookies and ice cream: they both gone away.
Blind Lemon Lincoln:(Spoken) Aw, sweet man, sweet.
Larry: (Sung) But that don't bother me none! I got me my freshly baked... strudel!
Blind Lemon Lincoln: (Spoken) Wha? Strudel? Man, you can't say strudel in the blues! That don't even rhyme.
Archibald: Stop the Music!
Blind Lemon Lincoln: (Spoken) That Does It Archibald, and Stay Away from My House.
Archibald: Never, Never, NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!
Larry: (Spoken) Well Too Bad, 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.
Archibald: It Doesn't Matter How much You Sing the blues, I Want you to go to bed!
