03x03 - Save the Mermaid!/Save the Pony Express!

Post by bunniefuu »

Children: wonder pets, wonder pets,

We're on our way

To help a friend and save the day.

We're not too big, and we're not too tough,

But when we work together, we've got the right stuff.

Go, wonder pets.

Yay!

[School bell dings]

Time to go home, everyone.

Bye-bye, linny.

See you, tuck.

See you tomorrow, ming-ming.

Good to hear, tuckster.

Hop in, wonder pets.

We've got a mermaid to save.

Where does the mermaid live?

Well, she was near a desert island

Like the one in that clay diorama.

We are coming to save you, young mermaid.

All: whee!

Do I look like a pirate now?

Totally.

Yo-ho-hodely.

♪ Ooh ooh ooh

What's wrong, mermaid?

Well, I don't really feel like a pirate.

Maybe you would feel like a pirate

If you said some pirate things.

Like "argh."

Uh, erg?

Or my personal favorite, "shiver me timbers."

Tiver me shimbers.

"Shiver me timbers."

Shimber me tivers?

"Shiver me timbers."

Shibberty mimbers.

[Together] close enough.

♪ Now you've got some pirate things to say ♪

♪ And your pirate hat is a-okay ♪

♪ You feel like a pirate now I hope ♪

♪ Do you?

♪ Shiverty bibberty

No.

I wonder why not?

It's because you weren't doing

The main thing a pirate does.

That's right.

You need to look for buried treasure.

How do I do that?

Come up on the beach and start looking.

Beach, here I come.

[Grunts]

It's hard for a mermaid

To get around on land like a pirate.

She can't walk on her tail.

She's like a fish out of water.

♪ Now, where's that treasure? ♪

[Grunts]

♪ If it's buried in the ground

♪ I'd better look down

Her hat's falling off.

Shiver me--whoa!

I can't be a pirate.

That's okay, mermaid.

You tried your best.

♪ Ooh ooh eeh

♪ If I can't be a pirate

♪ I have nothing to be

♪ I'll go cry in the sea

♪ This is se-wious

No, it's not.

She can be a mermaid.

But there's nothing special about being a mermaid.

Back in the classroom,

I thought there was nothing special about being a turtle.

He wished he could be a duck,

Which is understandable.

But we showed tuck he was special

By singing him a song.

All together, wonder pets.

It's pirate peg.

And her parrot polly.

I was looking for buried treasure

When I saw that mermaid swimming around.

Squawk!

Peg likes mermaids.

Argh, 'tis true.

I always wanted to be a mermaid.

You, pirate peg, want to be a mermaid?

Sure do.

You got great hair, and you're an amazing swimmer.

Pirate peg thinks I'm amazing.

♪ Ooh ooh ooh

She weally loves herself.

This calls for some celery.

Can I sprinkle on some sea salt?

You sure can.

Thanks for helping me, wonder pets.

It looks like our work here is done.

Bye, mermaid.

Bye, pirate peg.

Bye, linny. Bye, tuck.

Bye, ding-ding.

Now, hold on there, duckie.

Ming-ming, you can't just throw the mail on the ground.

I can't?

No.

The pony has to deliver all of it.

Put everything back.

All right.

Easy come, easy go.

Oh, no!

The sun's going down.

I got to get to the post office right quick.

We need a new idea, wonder pets.

I got it.

We can fly the mail to town with the saddle boat.

Great idea, tuck.

Mine was better.

I reckon we'll need a bit of rope.

Will this do?

That'll do nicely.

Nice lassoing, linny.

Thanks.

Now we can tow the mail to the post office.

Ready?
