the sun always Shone on the mountains of
fibble the Wind and The Rains never came
to call the place beautiful no one would
quibble though hard on the feet they'd
exclaim but high in those Hills past the
rocks and the rubble so high that the
clouds were below sat two tiny towns
that were nothing but trouble as you
listen You'll see that it's so
the town to the West that thought it was
best bore the name flibro Lou where the
women and men since 1710 have worn on
their heads one large shoe
now in town number two one big shoe
wouldn't do so the people of Jeopardy
lot would look down in Bellow at Shoe
headed fellows and place on their own
heads upon
a pot Kettle for days without end these
two neighbors would bicker as to whose
headgear was best and the shoes and the
pots would fly ever thicker from morning
to night without rest
but not all of the people who lived in
these cities were angry and bitter and
vile a few would write poems and sing
happy diddies and greet all their
friends with a smile
one Floridian fellow who hated the fight
tried hard not to act like a mobster
while pots crashed around him from
morning till night he'd just play with
his pet wind-up Lobster
they kept to themselves and they'd talk
and they'd talk until one day he said
hey let's go for a walk I'm tired of
laying around like a squid I want to go
out there so that's what he did the shoe
headed boy in his blue plastic friend
walked out of their town and began to
descend to the dark Rocky Valley between
the two cities away from his friends and
their lighthearted ditties
hey this is well you said gosh this is
fun it's great that my Lobster can get
out and run but neither the toy nor the
boy with the shoe could see the disaster
about to ensue for up in the Rocks
hidden just out of sight were six beady
eyes filled with anger and spite six
beady eyes watched our hero Meander two
Shifty Crooks and their ruthless
commander
the nasty one said here comes up all
four with a
or maybe some jewelry he'd like us to
hold whatever the booty I think I could
stand it why that's what I live for
that's why I'm a bandit and then they
attacked him from under their Rock first
they knocked off his shoe then they
knocked off his son but the thing they
did next was extremely unfunny why they
shook him so hard that he dropped his
milk money hey he protested I don't like
your ilk how will I go strong if I don't
drink my milk but they didn't care
they'd accomplish their goal so they put
our friend down stuck his head in a hole
and walked off with his money every last
nickel then yelled back as they left see
around sorry pick up
um I'm a cucumber
then he said with a moan well I guess
I'm alone
but this was a loneliness he'd never
known his friends were far off and his
Lobster was missing the sound he could
hear was just the wind hissing
hello
[Music]
things looked pretty Grim for our
flippian buddy his head in a hole his
shoe bent and muddy but then were those
footsteps oh could it be true Along Came
the mayor of fliberolu of anyone surely
he'd help the poor soul hello said the
boy with his head in a hole I seem to
have fallen I seem to be stuck but now
that you're here well I guess I'm in
luck oh dear said the mayor observing
the shoe the fellow in need and he's
maybe in two young man I have noticed
your dial situation then please rest
assured that I share your frustration
but how can I put this oh what can I say
ah but maybe you understand better this
way
is that music
I'm busy
fully busy you've no idea what I have to
do busy busy shockingly busy much much
too busy for you
oh I see as soon as the mayor had
finished his song of Philippian doctor
came strolling along
said starting to slide if you and your
pickle
pickle and very important I can't stand
in chat well that's not my pickle I
found him like that besides it so
happens I'm noteworthy too why I am the
mayor of flavor Olu
um um I'm a cucumber I see said the
doctor then you'll understand without an
appointment
hand that
[Music]
said to the mayor of flibarolu if enough
mistaken you're quite busy too well they
talked about schedules compare daily
planners till finally a voice said
please pardon my manners I don't mean to
bug you I see that you're busy but being
inverted made me quite dizzy
the two other flippians paused for a
while they looked at each other then
said with a smile
we're busy busy
busy
[Music]
shockingly busy much much
[Music]
foreign
[Music]
oh it was just Dreadful how could they
desert their Philippian friend with his
head in the dirt that's it then I'm
finished I'll die here down under if
they would not help me then who would he
wondered
but wait someone else on the road
overhead would they help a friend beaten
up left for dead oh look on his head not
a shoe but a pot why this little guy was
from Jeopardy lot would he help a
flippian certainly not the boy with the
pots are friend with the shoe he
exclaims
why they think we're garbage they pulled
us with shoes why should I care if he's
beaten and bruised
but oh here in the wild his chances are
Slim
if I was in need would I want help from
him
he looked at our friend and he looked at
the Shoe and then in his heart he knew
what to do
he may be sleepy and that's plain to see
but God made him special just like he
made me
so we got him unstuck and he picked up
his shoe and together they walked back
to flibarolu out of the valley and back
into town where he stayed by his side
till the doctor was found oh my said the
doctor he's wearing a pot the little one
there is some jibery lot
you saved this fellow you pulled him
through it I don't understand tell me
why did you do it
[Music]
he has a shoe and I have a pot but when
we look deeper there's more that we've
got God made us special there now I can
see if you're special to him than your
special to me
love your neighbor when someone helps
you then you'll understand when you love
your neighbor too
[Music]
here let me help you thank you oh
[Applause]
then you
love your neighbor
[Music]
so the boy with the pot gave the doctor
some money to pay for the Cucumbers bill
and the mayor cried out with his eyes
moist and runny I'm touched by his act
of Goodwill if this little guy can take
care of his brother when he lives in one
town and he and the other why can't we
all try to help one another and love
would surround Our Fair Hill
now if you visit the mountains of fibble
you won't see a shoe or a pot instead
they throw flowers and Candy to nibble I
bet that you'd like it a lot
[Music]
