The Song of the Cebú
0NARRATOR:
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls! Larry the Cucumber presents, in a sequential image, stereophonic, multimedia event, the “Song of the Cebú!”
LARRY THE CUCUMBER:
Cebú! This is a song about a boy … a song about a little boy and his cebús … a song about a little boy and his three cebús … the little boy who had a sick cebú, a sad cebú and a mute cebú. And also a hippo.
Um … um … this is a picture of me at the airport. This is my Aunt Ruth. This is me at a bullfight. This is me fighting the bull.
JIMMY GOURD, JERRY GOURD, JUNIOR ASPARAGUS:
Ohh!
LARRY:
This is me and the bull.
JIMMY, JERRY, JUNIOR:
Ahh!
LARRY:
This is me and the bull and … I think that’s the bull’s cousin. He’s a cebú!
ARCHIBALD ASPARAGUS:
Hold it! You call this a multimedia event? This is a slide projector and a bed sheet! And what on Earth is a cebú, anyway?
LARRY:
It’s kind of like a cow. See?
ARCHIBALD:
Yes. Well … very good. This could be interesting. Carry on!
LARRY:
Cebú! Sing it with me! Cebú!
JIMMY, JERRY, JUNIOR:
Cebú!
LARRY:

JIMMY, JERRY, JUNIOR:
Achoo moo moo, achoo moo moo, achoo moo moo, achoo moo moo, achoo moo moo, achoo moo moo moo moo
LARRY:

LARRY:
Tries to tell the other two
JIMMY, JERRY, JUNIOR:
Tries to tell the other two
LARRY:
Mute cebú is waving and grunting. Mmm-hmm mmm mmm, mmm-hmm mmm mmm, mmm-hmm mmm mmm, mmm-hmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
JIMMY, JERRY, JUNIOR:
Mmm-hmm mmm mmm, mmm-hmm mmm mmm, mmm-hmm mmm mmm, mmm-hmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
LARRY:
Uh-oh.
ARCHIBALD:
Wait! What happens next?
LARRY:
Um …
ARCHIBALD:
Does the hippo see them? Is the poor mute cebú successful in communicating the imminent danger to the other passengers? Is the boy injured? Why is the sad cebú sad? Is the canoe wood or aluminum?
LARRY:
Oh, look! There’s me and Bob at Sea World! Oh, wow. Forgot about that one. There’s me and that bull again.
ARCHIBALD:
You can’t just start a song and leave it hanging like that! You know, I’ve come to expect a lot more from you. This is quite disappointing! I’m going to have to speak to Bob about this.
LARRY:
Oh look, a cebú! Cebú!
JIMMY, JERRY, JUNIOR:
Cebú!
LARRY:
No, wait … that’s a water buffalo.
JIMMY, JERRY, JUNIOR:
No more song about cebú! Need another verse or two! Audience is standing and leaving, bye-bye moo, bye-bye moo, bye-bye moo, bye-bye moo moo moo moo
JIMMY:
I want my money back!
JERRY:
Yeah, that’d be … that’d be good.
