We walked out onto the pier this morning and some people fishing told us a manatee was in the area. So we waited and there she was, popping up out of the water for air. I got two pictures of her. I walked away humming the old VeggieTales song, so I thought I'd share it with you.
Narrotor: AND NOW ITS TIME FOR SILLY SONGS WITH LARRY
The part of the show where Larry comes out and sings a silly song
We join Larry as he follows the tragic saga of Barbara manatee
In the day time drama endangered love
Larry: Barbara Manatee (Manatee, Manatee)
You are the one for me (one for me, one for me)
Sent from up above (up above, up above)
You are the one I love (I love, I love, I love)
Bill: "please don't cry Bar-ba-ra,
You're a nice Manatee,
You've been so good to me
But I must go into the world and do noble things for the good of all
And you can't come because you don't speak Frrrench
Au revoir"
Barbra: "But if you leave Bill,
Who will take me to the ball?
Who's gonna take me to the ball, Bill?
I have a new dress and shoes
And new manatee lipstick!
Who will take me to the ball?"
Larry: "I'll take you to the ball Barbara Manatee!"
Barbra: "Please don't go!"
Bill: "I must!"
Barbra: "Don't go!"
Bill: "I must!"
Barbra: "Don't!"
Bill: "Must!"
Barbra: "Don't don't!"
Bill: "Must must!"
Larry: Barbara Manatee (Manatee, Manatee)
You are the one for me (one for me, one for me)
Sent from up above (a manatee from heaven)
You are the one I love
Barbara Manatee (Manatee, Manatee)
I'll be your mon ami (mon ami, mon ami)
I'll take you to the ball (to the ball, to the ball)
I hope your not to tall (they might have trouble dancing)
Barbra: "Bill, I've learned French"
Bill: "You have?"
Barbra: "Mais, oui. Je suis Manatee. See?"
Bill: "Oui, oui mon amie
I always knew you could
I really hoped you would
Now can we go into the world and do noble things for the good of all?"
Barbra: "Yes, but first, will you take me to the ball?
Oh, Bill, will you take me to the ball?"
Bill: "...I can't dance"
Barbra: "You can't!?"
Bill: "No."
Barbra: "I must go"
Bill: "Please don't go"
Barbra: "I must"
Bill: "Don't go!"
Barbra: "I must!"
Bill: "Don't!"
Barbra: "Must!"
Bill: "Don't don't!"
Barbra: "Must must!"
Larry: Barbara Mantee (Manatee, Manatee)
You are the one...
Smash
Bob: "Larry... what are you doing?"
Larry: "Just watchin' a little TV.. Bob"
Bob: "Well... maybe you should read a book"
Larry: "Yah, ok"
