[Music]
is
[Music]
[Music]
friends
[Music]
concentrate
concentrate concentrate
i bet you ten grains of rice you can't
do it i'm a cat
i can do this in my sleep
not again
[Music]
[Applause]
now my dear daughters pay close
attention
when applying color to your lips be
steady of hand
and spare of color
like this
[Music]
every time i turn around the rules are
being ignored
must i see to everything myself
and another thing
oh time you sing with the voice of a
thousand angels
what a treasure you are
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
stop it stop it
will he never stop singing i can't nap
i can't enjoy my garden i can't even
have a peaceful
meal and all because of his is
horrible screeching
i must end this once and for all
[Music]
i wonder what's wrong
[Music]
[Music]
what's going on the foolish magistrate
is sad
because tongue has cherished cricket has
passed away
but i heard tongue singing just
[Music]
yesterday
here husband it was just a cricket
i'm sure
[Music]
why
[Music]
mama why is everyone so quiet
we are mourning the passing of tongue
what is
it's a time to be quiet and remember
what tongue meant to us
perhaps a funeral is too much for sagua
to deal with
why don't you go and play by the pond
[Music]
what's everybody doing well they're
having a funeral for tongue
[Music]
i don't think so
[Music]
nope not a ghost but
if you're here who's in the cage
let me tell you my furry friend
i was doing a beautiful rendition of one
of my favorite songs
come in my little friend
we're going on a trip
my good man
will you take the cricket in this box to
a field far
far away watch out for his singing
[Music]
and the vendor dropped me into a field
that was far far away from here
no yes but what he didn't know was that
when he wasn't looking i
hopped into his cart and came right back
into town with him wow
but who's in the cage i don't know
maybe ty ty found a dead cricket in the
garden and put it in the cage for the
magistrate to find
i can't believe ty ty would be so so
mean what i don't understand is why she
kept going on about my horrible singing
i have the voice of a thousand angels
the magistrate said so
let me demonstrate uh now isn't a good
time
[Music]
uh-oh
i wonder if i did the right thing
okay she's gone
sounds like somebody's feeling a little
guilty
yeah but it doesn't look like she's
doing anything about it
well maybe she just needs someone to
give her the idea
you think so
[Music]
ah peace and quiet oh
maybe too quiet my beloved husband did
enjoy tang
singing so yeah
i must be hallucinating
[Laughter]
[Music]
laughs
yeah yeah oh
it's no use i feel so
guilty for getting rid of tongue i hear
his horrible singing everywhere i go
[Music]
the next person to anger me will be
banished
do you hear me
[Music]
what have i done my dear husband hasn't
been the same without tongue
i must find some way to make him feel
better
i'll just have to find hang and bring
him back
it's the only way who knows
maybe his singing isn't as bad as i
remember
what does she mean bad i have the voice
of a thousand angels
[Music]
what will i do
ty ty sure has been gone a long time
all that searching and no tongue
well it isn't tongue but perhaps it will
cheer my husband anyway
[Music]
hmm you're awfully quiet
perhaps you'll sing for the magistrate
later on
now to get my husband so he can see his
new cricket and be happy again
[Music]
whoa there are you trying to give me a
heart attack
i have my singing career to think about
shh
i just wanted to wish you luck why can't
you just
tell me what it is dear husband
i know that you have been sad since
tongue passed away
so i have gotten you another cricket to
lift your spirits no one will
ever take the place of my dear old
tongue
[Music]
he looks a little common but will he
sing for me
[Applause]
well he's not quite tan but he does
have the voice of 500 angels
thank you dear wife
[Music]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
