Hey, I know this is kind of abrupt, but I got the transcript, and based on popular vote, I'm adding this one and changing the poll so that I can add the transcript and keep the poll running.
Sorry about any confusion this may have caused.
"Trading Places"
Written by Anne Baumgarten and Bruce Shelly
Songs by Rich Mendoza, Lyrics and Music
Transcribed by Agent0042
Agent0042: Leave it to Mr. Snooty to just demand of Mr. Otter that he and his family do housesitting and not even leave them a set of instructions or anything. Anyways, I managed to get a better audio quality this time, so transcribing was easier, but scene descriptions are still somewhat minimal as I'm not working along with video. If anyone has a particular transcript they want next, check my collection list over at TV.com...

Alarm
Opal: "Trading Places"
(sound of boat honking)
Flick: What's goin' on?
Ootsie: Hello, little otters.
Bootsie: Goodbye, little otters. We're off to Poodletopia.
Mr. Snooty: Mr. Otter, it's your rich and lucky day. You get to do me a favor.
Ernest: What kind of favor, Mr. Snooty?
Mr. Snooty: I need a reliable family to live in Snooty Mansion while we're gone.
Ernest: Well, if I think of someone, I'll let ya' know.
Mr. Snooty: Uh uh uh. Ernest, there's only one family for the job. Yours.
Ernest: Mine?
Mr. Snooty: I want you and your family to move into Snooty Mansion immediately. Here. (tosses Ernest a phone)
Ernest: Wow. Whoa! Whoa!
Mr. Snooty: You can call me at any time on my exclusive satellite uplink. I'm Hoohaw One, you're Hoohaw Two.
Ernest: (unenthused) Hoohaw One, Hoohaw Two.
Mr. Snooty: You got it! But you won't need it. I've programmed our home computer to handle everything!
Ernest: Got it.
(The Snooties speed away. The Otter family heads to the Snooty Mansion.)
Jelly: This is gonna be great!
Peanut: Yeah, let's do it!
(They open the door and a loud alarm begins clanging. A balloon floats up, broadcasting the intruder alert so loudly that it can probably be heard throughout the whole community of Lake Hoohaw. Bars appear on the doors and windows.)
Alarm: Warning! Warning! Intruder A non-poodle has entered the house!
Ernest: Hoohaw Two calling Hoohaw One. Come in, Hoohaw One! Please!
Mr. Snooty: This is Hoohaw One. How does it feel to be living in poodle heaven, Hoohaw Two?
Ernest: We can't get in. How do we shut off your entrance alarm system?
Mr. Snooty: No problem. Go to the control panel right next to the front door. Open it. Honk the clown nose twice.
(Ernest honks the clown nose twice, "honk, honk!" and the alarm mercifully abates.)
Peanut: Wow. If it's this exciting outside, just imagine how great it's gonna be inside.
Ernest: Everything fine now, Hoohaw One. This is Ernest, I mean Hoohaw Two, signing off. (sound of phone beeping) Huh? Like I said, Mr. Snooty, we're okay now.
Mayor Jeff: No, Ernest, this is Mayor Jeff at Hoohaw Three.
Ernest: It's Mayor Jeff. Mr. Snooty told him to call this number if he hears the alarm at the Snooty Mansion.
Opal: Well, I guess you can tell him everything's under control.
Ernest: Hoohaw Two to Hoohaw Three. Everything's under control here, Mayor Jeff. Now if we can just keep it that way...
Peanut: I'm hungry.
Jelly: Me too.
Butter: Me thwee.
Ernest: Well, then the first thing we'd better do is find the kitchen.
Jelly: It's not this way.
Peanut: Don't see it this way.
Opal: No kitchen this way.
Ernest: (sound of phone beeping) Hoohaw Two calling Hoohaw One. Hate to bother ya', Mr. Snooty, but where's the kitchen?
Mr. Snooty: Which one? The Monday Kitchen, the Tuesday Kitchen...?
Ernest: Which-- whichever one is closest.
Mr. Snooty: Oh. Just look on the map in the hallway. You'll find easy routes to all seven kitchens. Good luck. (sound of phone beeping) Ah, the Grand Poodletopia Hotel.
Ootsie and Bootsie: Ooh.
Mr. Snooty: Too bad we can't stay there.
Ootsie and Bootsie: Awwww!
Mr. Snooty: Sorry. There are no rooms available in the Grand Poodletopia. But I think Camp Survival will be great fun! (Ootsie and Bootsie make a sound of distress.)
Ernest: Now, let's see...
Jelly: I think if we go through the Tuesday TV Room, past the Sunday Solarium, then we might get to the Wednesday Kitchen.
Ernest: Good thinking, Jelly. Follow me, everyone.
Jelly: We found it.
Peanut: Finally.
Butter: Eat! Eat!
Ernest: I'll check what's in the fridge. Hey, how about some nice caviar-basted bones with imported wild mushroom dog sauce?
Peanut, Jelly and Opal: No, thanks! (Butter blows a loud raspberry.)
Peanut: Yuck. But speaking of dogs, I could go for a plain old clamdog right about now.
Jelly: Me too! On a plain old bun. Mmm.
Butter: Me thwee!
Ernest: Uhhhhhhh, ooh. Sorry, ya'll. No clamdogs and no plain old bun.
Ootsie: Plain old clamdogs?
Bootsie: On a plain old bun?
Ootsie and Bootsie: Yuck!
Bootsie: I wonder if there's a caviar takeout in the neighborhood.
(Back at the Poodle Mansion. Peanut and Jelly have managed to locate a bedroom and are settling down for bed.)
Peanut: (yawns widely and loudly) Boy, I'm really sleepy.
Jelly: (yawns the same way) Me too. I just hope I can stay awake until Mom and Dad can tuck us in.
Peanut: (yawns) That won't be too long. I'll bet they'll get Butter right to sleep.
~~~Bedtime Button~~~
[Jelly]
(What's this?)
[Peanut]
(reading "Bedtime button.")
[Peanut and Jelly]
(Huh?)
[Poodle Robots]
When nighttime comes
It's time to sleep
To your bed
Now you must creep
Woof, woof, woof
Good night
Sleep tight.
[Jelly]
(Wow. Was that a nightmare?)
Peanut: Yeah. I can't wait for Mom and Dad to come say a real good night.
Jelly: Me neither. Mom! Daddy!
(sound of owl hooting)
Bootsie: Father should have brought our good night robots.
~~~Wish I Was Home~~~
[Ootsie and Bootsie]
(We'll never get to sleep!)
[Peanut]
I wish I was back in our houseboat
Tucked in my cozy bunk bed
[Jelly]
If this is luxury
The good life's not for me
I wish I was back home instead
[Peanut]
This room's too big
[Jelly]
The bed's too soft
[Peanut]
Nothing here feels right
[Jelly]
Those crazy poodle robots
Gave us such a nasty fright
[Peanut]
With rhinestone-studded pillows
You can't have a pillow fight
[Jelly]
I wish I was home in my own bed tonight
[Bootsie]
I wish I was back in our mansion
Tucked into cool satin sheets
[Ootsie]
Here at Fort Survival
We'll be lucky to survive
I wish we could sound the retreat
[Bootsie]
This tent's too small
[Ootsie]
The ground's too hard
[Bootsie]
The sleeping bag's too tight
[Ootsie]
Our lovely poodle robots
Would be such a welcome sight
[Bootsie]
We left our bones at home
And there's nothing good to bite
[Ootsie]
I wish I was home
In my own bed tonight
[Peanut, Jelly, Ootsie and Bootsie]
Star-light, star-bright
I wish I was home
In my own bed tonight.
(Scene change. It's morning time and Peanut and Jelly have obviously had a rough night.)
Opal: And how did you kids sleep?
Peanut: (yawns) I missed my own bed.
Jelly: Me too.
Butter: Me thwee.
Opal: You'll cheer up if you go play in the toy room. Your father and I will figure out how to make breakfast.
Butter: Play, play!
Jelly: Hmm.
(They head to the toy room and have a lot of fun playing with the toys...)
Peanut: Cool toys!
Jelly: Wow, look at this great play structure!
(Alarm klaxon begins wailing.)
Alarm: Warning! Warning! A non-poodle is trying to play on the poodle play structure!
Jelly: Ahh! We've gotta find Mom and Dad and stop this.
Peanut: Hmm.
Jelly: Mama, Daddy, call Mr. Snooty.
Peanut: He's got to tell us how to turn off the playroom alarms.
Ernest: Honey, have you seen the phone?
Opal: I thought you had it, Ernest.
Ernest: Uh, gotta be here someplace...
(Sound of another alarm klaxon.)
Alarm: Warning! Warning! A non-poodle has entered the kitchen!
Peanut: Oh no! How can we stop these alarms?
Jelly: If there was ever a time for a noodle dance, this is it!
Peanut: But how can we think in all this noise?
Jelly: How can we not think?
(The alarms, thankfully, do not follow the family into the Noodle Dance sequence. Ernest and Opal decide to join in the dance. Peanut stands still, as usual, for about a couple seconds and then joins in the dance.)
Noodle, use your noodle
Noodle, do the noodle dance!
Jelly: I've got it! We can turn off all the electricity.
Ernest: Great idea!
Jelly: But we don't know where the main switch is.
Ernest: I could go look for it, but it might take forever.
Peanut: Maybe we should just go home.
Opal: We can't do that. Your Dad promised Mr. Snooty we'd take care of his mansion.
Peanut: Maybe we could get Mayor Jeff to take over for us. He's got a bone phone too.
Jelly: That's it! Mayor Jeff!
Peanut: I'm glad you agree.
Jelly: No! Mayor Jeff has the Hoohaw Three phone. He can call Dad's Hoohaw Two phone and when it rings, we can find it.
Peanut: And call Mr. Snooty and he'll tell us how to turn off all the alarms. But how do we get Mayor Jeff to call?
Jelly: By setting off the outside alarm system, so he sees the balloon.
Opal: That's using your noodle, Jelly.
Ernest: Come on.
Jelly: Okay, Daddy. Open the front door, just like you did the first time.
(He does and the alarms go off.)
Alarm: Warning! Warning! Intruders! A non-poodle has entered the house!
Jelly: Listen. Do you hear that?
Peanut: It's the Hoohaw Two phone.
Jelly: And it's in your pocket.
Ernest: Oops. Heh. Forgot I put it here.
Mayor Jeff: Hoohaw Two, this is Hoohaw Three. What's wrong at the Snooty Mansion?
Ernest: Mayor Jeff, this is Ernest Otter. Everything's fine, actually. I just had you call me so I could ask you to hang up. Thanks and goodbye.
Mayor Jeff: Well, you're welcome and goodbye. What was that all about?
Ernest: This is Hoohaw Two calling Hoohaw One. How do we turn off every alarm in the house?
Mr. Snooty: No problem, Hoohaw Two. I have a special plan for this situation. Ya' just honk the clown's nose once.
Ernest: Thank you, very much. Hey, you're here!
Jelly: Mr. Snooty, we didn't expect you back so early.
Mr. Snooty: Ootsie and Bootsie insisted we come.
Ootsie: Camp Survival is awful.
Bootsie: The horror!
Ootsie: There's just no place
Bootsie: like home!
(The Otters are back at their houseboat.)
Opal: Everybody comfy?
Peanut: Ootsie and Bootsie were right. There's no place like home.
Jelly: Well, they were kind of right.
Peanut: Kind of?
Jelly: Yeah. There's no place like our home.
Peanut: You sure got that right!
Butter: Home! Home!
(all laugh)

Collection Update
A while back I promised an update on the collection info. That update has finally been publshed. Check it out!
News Galore
I'm figuring out how to make sound files with Windows Movie Maker (WMM), so there's a possibility that I may be ablo to add sound files and/or music videos of the show to this blog. I can't promise anything, though, as I'd have to make sure I was legally safe doing that first.
In other news, the first poll has closed and Scootch is declared the #1 favorite character.
I've started a new poll so you can tell me which transcript you want to see next.
If you look at the last voting option, you'll see that Agent0042 may send me a transcript of it. This, of course, is good news for me, as it's my favorite episode of the show, one which I haven't seen in ages.
If you want to view a video clip of the song, along with other songs from the show, go to this link:
http://amazingtunes.tv/KidsTV/KidsTV/PBJ.html
After e-mailing the person who put these clips on their website, I discovered that he worked on the production of these songs for the show, and Disney gave him the logo free copies of the episodes he worked on. Unfortunately, he can't post them in their entirety.
There is some good news, though. If you look on my YouTube channel (and have a YouTube account, which, for those of you who don't know, is free) and go to the groups section, you'll see I've started a PB&J Otter group. My goal with the group is to have enough people join to finally convince Disney to put the show out on DVD.
Oodelay-O, PB&J fans!

Transcript - Bagpipe Blues (incomplete)
Sorry, but I don't have access to a complete English copy of this episode yet, so this is the best I could do.
I appoloize for the question marks at the end. The audio quality, as stated in my collection guide, is hard to hear at the end. I'll try to get that fixed soon.
Bagpipe Blues
(from the start of the recording)
Jelly: We’ll just have to go get Mom.
Peanut: No! She’ll be very mad! We can handle this ourselves.
Jelly: We can? How?
Butter: Me, three.
Peanut: Easy! We just…well…first we…okay, I don’t know yet.
Butter: Uh oh.
Peanut: Uh oh. It’s the Watchbirds! Hide!!
(PB&J run behind a bush)
The cranes fly behind the bush where PB&J are
Cap’n Crane: Watchbird alert! Watchbird alert! Did you kids see a suspicious character around here?
Connie Crane: A burglar type?
Peanut: A burglar?
Cap’n Crane: This morning, I noticed a burglar stealing your daddy’s bagpipes out of your house.
Peanut: You d-d-d-did?
Jelly: Peanut…
Peanut: Wasn’t me!!!!!
Cap’n Crane: He was about your height and your width, and the same color as you. You seen anybody like that?
Peanut: No sir. Nobody like that. Haven’t seen ‘em. Have you, Jelly?
Jelly: No comment.
Cap’n Crane: Too bad. We’d better keep looking, Connie. Bye, now.
They walk away.
Connie Crane: Did it ever occur to you that you were describing someone a lot like Peanut?
Cap’n Crane: Well, now. That’s a thought.
Connie Crane: Same height, same width, same—
Cap’n Crane: *gasp!* You’re right, Connie! Peanut Otter has an evil twin!
Connie Crane: Aw, Cap’n. I think it’s your naptime.
Cap’n Crane: Oh.
They fly away
Jelly: Peanut Otter! You are a big, fat liar!
Peanut: Am not! I haven’t seen any bagpipe burglar.
Jelly: That’s because you took the bagpipes, and then you big, fat lied on purpose! If you’d told the truth, they might have helped us get it back!
Munchy pops out of a bush
Munchy: Hey, Peanut. Hey, Jelly. Hey, Baby Butter. Are you all looking for (????), too?
Peanut: Looking for who, Munchy?
Munchy: The big, bad bagpipe burglar. Everyone on Lake Hoohaw is looking.
Peanut: Uh, yeah. Me, too.
Munchy: Your poor dad.
Peanut: Yeah. Yeah. We’ve all got to keep looking. So why don’t you go far away, and we’ll go look right here along the shore, okay? See ya, Munch. Bye, bye.
He walks away
Peanut: (cont’d; to Jelly) Come on! You’ve got to help me!
Jelly: Hmm.
Peanut: Pleeeeeeeeaaaaase!!!
Jelly: You keep saying we can get the bagpipes ourselves, but you haven’t said how.
Peanut: That’s ‘cause I haven’t thought of how.
Jelly: You wanna do the Noodle Dance?
Butter: Yay!
Peanut: You know, it just might be crazy enough to work!
Jelly: Ready, brain? Let’s noodle! (after Noodle Dance) I’ve got it! I’ve got an idea!
Peanut: Great! What is it?
Jelly: Why don’t you tell the truth? It’s the right thing to do, and you might get some real help.
Peanut: I thought you had a serious idea. I know! If we had a big, giant claw thing, I could reach in there and pull out the bagpipes.
Jelly: But where are we going to get a big, giant claw thing?
Peanut: Yeah. Who am I kidding? Besides, Mom won’t let us use heavy machinery. (with Jelly and Butter) Hmmm….
Jelly: Hey! Here’s an idea!
Peanut: Does it involve telling the truth?
Jelly: Maybe.
Peanut: I’ve got a much better idea!
Butter: (shaking head) Ohhh.
PB&J are at Mayor Jeff’s boat
Peanut: Can we borrow this net to clean our swimming pool?
Mayor Jeff: Swimming pool?
Peanut: Yeah, it’s Olympic-sized and very dirty…and sharks.
Mayor Jeff: But, Peanut, you don’t have a pool.
Peanut: Uhhh….gotta go. Thank you!
PB&J are back where the bagpipes remain in the water
Peanut: There, I think I got it. Oh no!
Jelly: You pushed them out into the lake!
Butter: Uh oh!
Peanut: I’m in a world of trouble.
Jelly: Look! The wind is making it float away! We’ve got to follow it!
Peanut: Come back! Come back!
Jelly: Yelling at them won’t do any good, Peanut.
Peanut: I suppose you have a better idea?
Jelly: I do!
Peanut: What?
Jelly: Look. First you stole Dad’s bagpipes…
Peanut: Well, not really. I...
Jelly: Next, you lied so many times I’ve lost count!
Peanut: Just little ones.
Jelly: Now you’re in so much trouble, there’s only one thing left to do.
Peanut: Noodle Dance?
Jelly: No! We’ve got to tell Dad!
Peanut: Yeah. Maybe you’re right.
Jelly: Hey, look! Here comes Dad! Hey, Daddy! Come here! Come here! Peanut has something he wants to tell you!
Butter: Dada!
Peanut: I’m definitely in a world of trouble.
Jelly: You’ll just have to take what comes.
On Ernest’s boat
Peanut: Dad, I’ve done a really bad thing.
Ernest: What’s that, Peanut?
Peanut: Well—
They arrive where the bagpipes are
Jelly: We’re here. Come on, Daddy!
Peanut: Bagpipes ahoy, Dad!
Ernest: I see them, Son. Hang on, everybody. I’m reversing engines and dropping anchor. I knew these would come in handy for something. (picks them up and gets them into the boat)
Peanut: Are the bagpipes alright, Dad?
Ernest: I can’t tell yet, Son.
Peanut: Dad, I’m sorry I took your bagpipes without asking.
Ernest: Thanks for saying so, Peanut.
Peanut: And I never should have lied to the Watchbirds about not seeing it.
Ernest: I bet they’d appreciate an apology, too.
Peanut: Yeah.
Jelly: And while you’re at it, you can apologize to Munchy, and Mayor Jeff, and Flick, and me, and—
Peanut: Okay! I get it.
Jelly: Are they ruined, Daddy?
Ernest: Well, let’s see. Well, I’d say these old bagpipes sound good as new.
Jelly: Uh oh. I think there’s a scratch right there.
Ernest: Hmm. I remember that scratch.
Peanut: You remember it?
Ernest: It’s the one I made when I sneaked these bagpipes away from my dad.
Peanut: You mean you did what I did?
Ernest: Yup. And I tried to lie about it, just like you. It got me grounded for about a week.
Peanut: I guess that’s what lies lead to—a world of trouble.
Ernest: Well, Son, since you’ve figured that much out, I guess you’ve figured out the rest.
Peanut: I’m grounded for a week?
Ernest: Yup.
Peanut: It’s okay, Dad. I deserve it.
At the Otters’ house-boat
Flick: Oh, hello, Mr. Ottter, sir. Can Peanut come out and play? I know he’s grounded all week, but—
Ernest: He’s staying in and playing right now, Flick. Maybe tomorrow, okay?
Flick: Okay.
They sing a song that sounds like this
Oh, you can’t be blue
When you fiddle dee doo
????????
????????
Singing and a’playing
Just me and you
Flick: Cheese and quackers! Peanut can play the bagpipes and he does have a band!
The end

Opal: "Thanks for the Giggle Melon"
Peanut: Phew. This snow otter sure was a lot of work to make.
Jelly: Yeah, but it was worth it.
Peanut: That's for sure. I bet Snowy is the best snow otter ever.
Jelly: I wish it would snow some more. Then we could build him a friend.
(Redolfo blows by on a jetski with Aunt Nanner riding along. It kicks up a bunch of snow, covering Peanut, Jelly and the snow otter.)
Aunt Nanner: Woo hoo!
Peanut: Man, Jelly. You gotta be careful what you wish for.
Aunt Nanner: Yee-haw!
Jelly: It's not snowing! It's Aunt Nanner!
Butter: Nanner, Nanner!
Aunt Nanner: Ooh, sorry about that, kids. See you later, Redolfo. (gives him a kiss)
Kids: Aunt Nanner!
Aunt Nanner: Ooh, okay, okay. Hold on.
Peanut: How come?
Aunt Nanner: 'Cause we need to go inside and see what fun surprises your Aunt Nanner has brought you.
Kids: Ya'ay!
(They head inside the Otter household, where Aunt Nanner begins the gift-giving.)
Opal: Here you go. Some nice hot cocoa to warm everybody up.
Aunt Nanner: And I've got a present for everybody from my trip to Howdydo Island.
Peanut: Wow! Howdydo Island? That sounds cool.
Aunt Nanner: Not only cool, it's hot. In fact, it's so hot, everybody uses a fan. (She gives one to Peanut.)
Peanut: Wow, thanks Aunt Nanner!
Aunt Nanner: And it rains so much there, everyone needs an umbrella.
Monkey Umbrella: Uh oh! It's raining! It's raining!
Butter: Uh oh! Raining! Raining!
Aunt Nanner: And for Jelly, I have a special Howydo Island treat. It's a giggle melon.
Jelly: Wow, thanks Aunt Nanner. Why do they call it a giggle melon?
Aunt Nanner: You'll find out when you eat it. It tastes so delicious -- (Jelly eats it and giggles.) you can't help but giggle.
Jelly: Thanks, Aunt Nanner. This is amazing. (giggles)
Opal: Anna, you've done it again. The children love their presents.
(Jelly continues to giggle at the taste of the giggle melon.)
Peanut: Hey, Jel, can I have a taste of that giggle melon?
Jelly: Sure, Peanut. (giggles) I'm sorry, Peanut, I don't have anymore. But maybe Aunt Nanner brought another one.
Aunt Nanner: Yes, Jelly?
Jelly: That giggle melon was the best-tasting thing I've ever put in my whole mouth. Do you have another one for Peanut and Butter?
Aunt Nanner: Oh, Jelly, I'm sorry. I don't. And they only grow on Howydo Island.
Jelly: No more giggle melon?
(Scene change. The kids are outside, sledding on lids in the snow.)
Munchy: Watch how fast I can go!
Peanut: Watch out, here I come!
Pinch: I'm a cannonball!
Scootch: My turn! My turn! Yaaahhhh! Oof! (knocks into the snow otter built earlier in the episode) Sorry, sorry. My fault.
Pinch: Jelly, are you okay?
Jelly: Huh? Oh, sure, Pinch. I'm fine. I just can't stop thinking about giggle melon.
Flick: Giggle Melon? Who's he? Some new cartoon character?
Jelly: It's not a cartoon character. It's the best fruit in the whole world.
Munchy: Hey, that sounds good. Can I have some?
Flick: How 'bout me? I asked her first.
Pinch: I'll have a small piece, please.
Jelly: I'd love to give you some, but I don't have any anymore.
Munchy: Oh.
Jelly: I wish I could think of a way to get some. Hey, how 'bout a Noodle Dance?
Flick: Yeah.
Munchy: Sure!
Pinch: We'll think of something.
Peanut: I'll noodle, but it's way too cold to dance.
Noodle, noodle, do the Noodle Dance
Use your noodle, use your brain
Flick: Hey, I got it! We could go buy another giggle melon at your dad's store-boat.
Peanut: That would be a good idea, except he doesn't sell them.
Flick: Oh.
Jelly: Hey, I've got it. We jump on a subway. That'll take us all the way to Howydo Island.
Peanut: I like it, Jelly, but I don't think there's a subway that goes to Howydo Island.
Flick: Hello?! There's no subway that goes anywhere. We don't have subways!
Jelly: Oh yeah, I forgot. Man, if only I'd saved some giggle melon from yesterday.
Munchy: That's it. We can all run backwards real fast until we get all the way back to yesterday.
Peanut: Come on, guys. Let's try it.
Jelly: Yeah. If it works, I can give you all a piece of giggle melon.
(They all try running backwards very fast, shouting out excitedly, but they just collapse and don't get anywhere.)
Munchy: Wow. Yesterday looks just like today. I mean, tomorrow? Heh heh heh.
Jelly: Well, that didn't work.
Pinch: Then let's make snow angels instead.
Jelly: Let's not just make snow angels. Let's do thinking and make snow angels. (Noodle Dance music resumes.)
Peanut: Are you sure there isn't any of that giggle melon left at the house? Not even one teeny-tiny piece?
Jelly: Nah. It was so good, I ate the whole thing. Except for this seed. That's it! I can plant the seed and we can grow all the giggle melons we want. (Flick takes the seed from her.) Huh?
Flick: So what are we waiting for? Let's get this seed growing. (He starts to plant it in the snow.)
Peanut: I don't think we can plant a garden in the snow, Flick.
Munchy: Yeah. Mayor Jeff always plants his garden in the spring.
Flick: I knew that.
Jelly: Well, hope spring gets here soon.
(Spring has arrived. The kids gather up plenty of equipment to start their garden.)
Opal: Starting a farm, kids?
Jelly: We're gonna plant my giggle melon seed.
Opal: I don't know much about gardening, kids, but I think it might be hard to grow giggle melons in Lake Hoohaw.
Jelly: That's okay, mama. All my friends are gonna help me. Right, ya'll?
Munchy: Well, sure, Jelly. But if giggle melons won't grow here...
Jelly: Mama didn't say they won't grow. She just said it would be hard. Well, we'll just work hard. Right?
Pinch: Right!
Peanut: I don't know, Jelly.
Jelly: Mayor Jeff knows a lot about gardening.
(They go to visit him.)
Mayor Jeff: Giggle melons, huh? Don't believe I ever heard of any those growin' around these parts.
Jelly: Maybe nobody ever had a seed, like I do.
Mayor Jeff: Well, I-- I think it's because giggle melons will probably grow only in tropical weather.
Jelly: Tropical weather?
Mayor Jeff: Yep. Very wet and very hot.
Jelly: Ooh, maybe Dad has an idea!
Ernest: I don't think so, honey. Not here in Lake Hoohaw.
Cap'n Crane: Watchbird alert! Watchbird alert! The kids have a problem. We'd better check it out.
Connie: Okay, you go ahead. I'll be right there.
Cap'n Crane: Uh oh, now I have a problem.
Mrs. Raccoon: It's never been done before.
Jelly: That's for sure.
Cap'n Crane: Hey, kids! There. Come on, Connie. Where'd she go? Huh? Whoa! Leapin' mackerels, Connie. We gotta go see--
Connie: I already went, Cap'n. Jelly Otter's tryin' to grow giggle melons.
Cap'n Crane: Giggle melons? You can't grow those here.
Connie: That's what I told her.
Cap'n Crane: Well, I'd better keep an eye on things.
Mrs. Raccoon: Sorry, kids. I don't think you can do it.
Peanut: Everybody said that we can't.
Jelly: But I just know we can.
Flick: This is never gonna work. Let's go play Space Ducks. (He, Munchy, Pinch and Scootch leave.)
Peanut: Playing Space Ducks sounds like fun.
Jelly: You can go, Peanut. But I'm gonna grow giggle melons even if I have to do it all by myself.
Aunt Nanner: Hi, kids! Thanks, Redolfo!
Peanut, Butter and Jelly: Aunt Nanner!
Aunt Nanner: Now what are my three little darlings up to today?
Jelly: We're gonna grow giggle melons.
Peanut: But everybody told us giggle melons won't grow here.
Aunt Nanner: Well, it's true that giggle melons usually grow only in a tropical place.
Jelly: You mean I can't do it?
Aunt Nanner: Oh, honey, I didn't say that. With a lot of hard work, you never know what you can make happen.
Jelly: Yay! I knew I could do it!
(Sequence of Jelly planting and maintaining her garden. A whimsical version of "Here We Go 'Round the Mulberry Bush plays.)
Jelly: Hey, it looks like-- it is! Yippee!
(Scene change-- Peanut and Jelly's room.)
Peanut: You really did it, Jelly. It's growing! I'm sorry we didn't believe in you.
Jelly: That's okay, Peanut. I'm gonna dream about my giggle melon. I can't wait to give some to all my friends.
~~~We'll All Laugh Together~~~
[Jelly]
We've been friends for a long, long time
And I know what's yours is mine
Now that the melons are fullly grown
I'm happy to give you each your own
So grab a giggle melon
And prepare to smile
A giggle melon smile is right in style
So grab a giggle melon
And prepare to smile
And we'll laugh together for a while
And we'll laugh together for a while.
Jelly: It's morning. I gotta go check my giggle melon garden. Good morning, giggle. (gasps) Oh no!
(There is a caterpillar eating Jelly's plant. It giggles happily.)
Jelly: My giggle melon plant! It's ruined! That's okay, Mr. Caterpillar. I forgive you. Oh. Now nobody'll ever get to taste any giggle melon.
(Jelly departs, sadly. Unbeknownst to her, a leaf perks up on the plant and a small sprout shoots up. The plant is still alive and well. Scene change. A triumphant theme plays as the kids play an adventure game.)
Peanut: Full speed ahead, mates! This is your captain speaking.
Flick: Well, I'm the captain too and I say we turn around and head ()
Munchy: I thought I was the captain! Let's take this boat to Howydo Island!
Jelly: Howdydo Island? That's where they grow giggle melons.
Flick: Giggle melons!? Cheese and quackers, Munchy! We're not supposed to remind Jelly of giggle melons. She doesn't want to hear the words "giggle melon" ever again. So no more talk about-- you know, giggle melons.
Munchy: Oh, I forgot. Sorry, Jelly.
Peanut: Hey, guys! Let's play on the swings! We can play "Pass the Butter, Please."
Flick: Pass the Butter, please! (Butter giggles.) Thank you!
Pinch: Pass the Butter ball.
Munchy: Here she comes!
Butter: Whee!
Jelly: You love to play Pass the Butter, Please, don't you?
Butter: Looky.
Pinch: Oh, look. Mr. Caterpillar likes to play Pass the Butter, Please too.
Flick: Hey! Isn't that the same caterpillar that ate Jelly's giggle melon? Oops! Me and my big beak! I was trying so hard not to say "giggle melon." Oops. I said it again.
Peanut: Hey, Jelly. It sure is getting hot, isn't it? Why don't we go ask Mom if we can go swimming?
Flick: Yeah, swimming. That's a great idea! Right, Jelly? Then we won't have to think about giggle melons. What?! What?!
(The kids head to the lake, where they do some fun swimming. They cheer and splash merrily.)
Opal: Come on, kids. Time for lunch. Everybody out of the water.
Munchy: Uh oh. I think it's a real sea monster.
Aunt Nanner: Oodel-ay!
Jelly: It's Aunt Nanner!
Aunt Nanner: And I've got enough fishsicles for everybody.
Opal: Now kids, just take one each. You don't wanna spoil your lunch.
(The kids all cheer and shout happily and take one each.)
Jelly: Mmm. These fishsicles are great.
Pinch: Your Aunt Nanner always brings the best treats.
Flick: Yeah, like the time she brought that giggle melon. Did I say giggle melon again? Oops, I said it again. Sorry, Jelly. I didn't mean to say gig- (Peanut and Munchy cover his beak, cutting him off.) Ow.
Peanut: It's just that we never tasted any of the gig- you know what.
Pinch: And you made it sound so yummy, we were all hoping to try some.
Flick: Yeah, Jelly. Could you tell us again how giggle melon tasted?
(Jelly sobs and walks away.)
Flick: Cheese and quackers! I said it again!
(Scene change. The kids are playing just outside the Otter household and Peanut and Butter come out to join them.)
Flick: Oodel-ay, PB&-- Where's Jelly?!
Peanut: She didn't feel like coming out to play. She's really sad about her garden.
Pinch: I know. Maybe we can plant some flowers in the garden. That might make her happy.
(They visit Jelly's garden and make a discovery...)
Butter: Giggle!
Peanut: You're right, Butter. The giggle melon plant is growing again. Let's go tell Jelly.
(They all go to visit Jelly.)
Flick: You should see it, Jelly. It has a leaf and everything.
Pinch: And we all can help you take care of it.
Munchy: I can taste the giggle melon already. (giggles)
Jelly: It's no use. I tried and it just didn't work. And now summer's half over.
Peanut: Well, I guess she doesn't wanna try anymore. Let's go plant the flowers anyway.
Aunt Nanner: What did the kids say, Jelly?
Jelly: Oh, they wanted me to start trying to grow giggle melons again. But it's too hard. I already tried.
Opal: Now, Jelly, I know you're discouraged. But I'm very very proud of you.
Jelly: Proud? Why? After all my hard work, I still don't have any melons to share with my friends.
Aunt Nanner: But the melon did grow, Jelly. Everyone said you couldn't do it, but you didn't give up. And you shouldn't give up now.
Jelly: Well, my friends did say they'd help me this time.
Aunt Nanner: Of course they will, honey.
Jelly: And this time, we'll be sure to protect the plant from hungry caterpillars.
Aunt Nanner: Great thinking, Jelly! That's using your noodle!
Jelly: Do you really think I can do it?
Aunt Nanner: You won't know if you don't try.
Jelly: Then I'm gonna try.
Pinch: You dig up that old giggle melon plant, Peanut, and then we can plant these beautiful flowers.
Peanut: Well, I guess this is good-bye, giggle melon plant.
Jelly: Peanut, wait! I wanna try to grow that giggle melon again!
Flick: All right, Jelly! We can do it!
Jelly: I'm glad you're all gonna help me. Now that summer's almost over, we'll have to think of ways to really help the giggle melon grow.
Peanut: Hey, I know, Jelly. We'll think of something if we Noodle Dance.
Flick: (looks like he's been slapped stunned) What?! You wanna do a Noodle Dance?!
Peanut: Well, she is my sister. Come on, let's dance!
(Flick continues to stand stunned. Peanut and Jelly start the dance and eventually the others join in. Pinch grabs a basket of a flower petals and throws them around merrily.)
Noodle, noodle, do the Noodle Dance
Solve a problem, it's no strain
Use your noodle, that's your brain
Do the Noodle Dance!
Flick: Ooh, I know. We can work extra-fast. Then the giggle melon will grow extra-fast. Watch this! (He picks up a watering can and runs toward the plant, but he trips and falls.) Oh. Oof!
Peanut: I don't think we should work that fast, Flick. Besides, we need a lot of heat and rain, like Howdydo Island.
Jelly: I've got it. If we all swim together in a chain, we could pull Howydo Island all the way to Lake Hoohaw and grow the giggle melons there.
Peanut: I don't think we could do that, Jelly. We'd never find a rope that big.
Jelly: Well, maybe that plant would grow better if we could make it think that this is Howydo Island.
Peanut: How would we do that, Jel?
Jelly: We'll make it really wet and hot, just like it is on Howydo Island.
~~~Gonna Make the Giggle Melons Grow~~~
[Peanut, Jelly, Butter, Munchy, Flick, Pinch and Scootch]
Got to make it hot
Got to make it wet
Got to make it sunny
We'll have melons yet
Lots of water and lots of light
Makes the giggle melon grow just right
Mr. Caterpillar, no no no
Gotta make this garden grow
We need water, water, water
Lots and lots of water
Run and get the bucket
Fill it to the top
We need light, light, sunlight
Hot, hot sunlight
Blue skies and sunlight
Sunlight makes it grow
Bang the coconuts like they're drums
Get more water, we need a ton
Mr. Caterpillar, no no no
Gotta make this garden grow
Gonna make the melons grow
Gonna make the giggle melons grow, ho!
Peanut: It's looking pretty good, Jelly.
Jelly: Yeah, but we've been working for three weeks and the giggle melon hasn't started growing yet.
Ootsie: Did I hear somebody say "giggle melon"?
Bootsie: We love giggle melons, right Ootsie?
Ootsie: Right, Bootsie.
Jelly: You've had giggle melon?
Bootsie: Of course. We've had everything.
Ootsie: Why, do you have some?
Jelly: No, we're trying to grow one. But we need more heat and light.
Ootsie: We have the brightest lights in all of Lake Hoohaw, right Bootsie?
Bootsie: Right, Ootsie. Our birthday lights.
(A triumphant instrumental version of "Happy Birthday to You" is played as a scene shows Ootsie and Bootsie on a stage with their birthday lights. Crowd cheers.)
Jelly: Can you bring your lights over here and set them up for us?
Bootsie: Ootsie?
Ootsie: Bootsie?
Ootsie and Bootsie: No!
Others: Aw.
Bootsie: But our butler can.
(The others cheer excitedly. The Poodle butler comes and brings the lights. Ootsie and Bootsie are reclining on chairs, watching the proceedings.)
Bootsie: All this work is simply exhausting.
Ootsie: Yes, but it's worth it, Bootsie. Think about that giggle melon.
(With the help of the big lights and the care and attention of the kids, the giggle melon plant grows and sprouts many melons.)
Jelly: Wow. Now there's enough giggle melons for everybody.
Peanut: All right. There's a whole giggle melon for each of us. Let's go show Mom!
Jelly: Mama! Dad! Look! Giggle melons!
Opal: Jelly, it's wonderful what you and your friends have done.
Ernest: Yep, you kids worked hard and didn't give up. And now you've got a harvest of giggle melons.
Opal: We should have a party.
Ernest: Let's invite the whole town.
(The kids cheer their approval of this idea. Scene change. The whole town has indeed gathered around a massive picnic table for the party.)
Opal: So glad you folks could make it. (A large shadow appears over the table.)
Jelly: Oh no. I hope it's not gonna rain.
Peanut: Look! It's Aunt Nanner!
Aunt Nanner: (descending from a ladder) Goodness gracious. Looks like I got here just in time. What's this wing-ding for?
Jelly: It's a giggle melon party!
Aunt Nanner: Why, Jelly, you really grew giggle melons. I just knew you could do it. I'm proud of you, honey.
Opal: We're all proud of these children. And now, it's time for the kids to eat their giggle melons. (Everyone cheers.)
Jelly: Before we eat, I just wanted to say I'm thankful to all my friends for helping me grow these giggle melons.
Pinch: Thank you, Jelly. It was fun.
Jelly: And I'm thankful to Mama and Aunt Nanner for helping me see that I shouldn't give up. And I'm thankful it's time to eat! Mmm!
Opal: Why, Mr. and Mrs. Muskrat. What a delightful surprise.
Mr. Muskrat: Just happened to be in the neighborhood and thought we'd drop by to say hello.
Mrs. Muskrat: Hello.
Opal: We're having a feast. We'd love to have you join us.
Jelly: Hey, Dolores. Hey, Lilly. It's good to see ya'll again.
Dolores and Lilly: Hey, Jelly!
Lilly: What are you eating, Jelly?
Jelly: It's called a giggle melon and we have enough for everybody.
(Jelly realizes that while they may have had enough for everybody that was there, there isn't enough for the Muskrats as well. She decides to share hers.)
Jelly: And here's a piece for you all, too!
Lilly: Wow, Jelly. Thanks for the giggle melon.
Peanut: (whispering) Jelly worked harder than anybody to grow these giggle melons.
Munchy: And it sure was nice of her to share her piece with Dolores and Lilly.
Flick: You guys thinking what I'm thinking? (trumpet fanfare plays)
Peanut: Here, Jelly.
Flick: Me, too.
Munchy: Here you go, Jelly.
Pinch: Here's another piece, Jelly.
Opal: Doesn't it do your heart good to see our kids sharing like that?
Mrs. Beaver: Oh, they're just wonderful children.
Mayor Jeff: Pretty good gardeners too.
(He eats his piece and giggles. All giggle and chatter.)
Flick: Save your seeds for next year's garden!

Mrs. Raccoon: It's never been done before.
Jelly: That's for sure.
Cap'n Crane: Hey, kids! There. Come on, Connie. Where'd she go? Huh? Whoa! Leapin' mackerels, Connie. We gotta go see--
Connie: I already went, Cap'n. Jelly Otter's tryin' to grow giggle melons.
Cap'n Crane: Giggle melons? You can't grow those here.
Connie: That's what I told her.
Cap'n Crane: Well, I'd better keep an eye on things.
Mrs. Raccoon: Sorry, kids. I don't think you can do it.
Peanut: Everybody said that we can't.
Jelly: But I just know we can.
Flick: This is never gonna work. Let's go play Space Ducks. (He, Munchy, Pinch and Scootch leave.)
Peanut: Playing Space Ducks sounds like fun.
Jelly: You can go, Peanut. But I'm gonna grow giggle melons even if I have to do it all by myself.
Aunt Nanner: Hi, kids! Thanks, Redolfo!
Peanut, Butter and Jelly: Aunt Nanner!
Aunt Nanner: Now what are my three little darlings up to today?
Jelly: We're gonna grow giggle melons.
Peanut: But everybody told us giggle melons won't grow here.
Aunt Nanner: Well, it's true that giggle melons usually grow only in a tropical place.
Jelly: You mean I can't do it?
Aunt Nanner: Oh, honey, I didn't say that. With a lot of hard work, you never know what you can make happen.
Jelly: Yay! I knew I could do it!
(Sequence of Jelly planting and maintaining her garden. A whimsical version of "Here We Go 'Round the Mulberry Bush plays.)
Jelly: Hey, it looks like-- it is! Yippee!
(Scene change-- Peanut and Jelly's room.)
Peanut: You really did it, Jelly. It's growing! I'm sorry we didn't believe in you.
Jelly: That's okay, Peanut. I'm gonna dream about my giggle melon. I can't wait to give some to all my friends.
~~~We'll All Laugh Together~~~
[Jelly]
We've been friends for a long, long time
And I know what's yours is mine
Now that the melons are fullly grown
I'm happy to give you each your own
So grab a giggle melon
And prepare to smile
A giggle melon smile is right in style
So grab a giggle melon
And prepare to smile
And we'll laugh together for a while
And we'll laugh together for a while.
Jelly: It's morning. I gotta go check my giggle melon garden. Good morning, giggle. (gasps) Oh no!
(There is a caterpillar eating Jelly's plant. It giggles happily.)
Jelly: My giggle melon plant! It's ruined! That's okay, Mr. Caterpillar. I forgive you. Oh. Now nobody'll ever get to taste any giggle melon.
(Jelly departs, sadly. Unbeknownst to her, a leaf perks up on the plant and a small sprout shoots up. The plant is still alive and well. Scene change. A triumphant theme plays as the kids play an adventure game.)
Peanut: Full speed ahead, mates! This is your captain speaking.
Flick: Well, I'm the captain too and I say we turn around and head ()
Munchy: I thought I was the captain! Let's take this boat to Howydo Island!
Jelly: Howdydo Island? That's where they grow giggle melons.
Flick: Giggle melons!? Cheese and quackers, Munchy! We're not supposed to remind Jelly of giggle melons. She doesn't want to hear the words "giggle melon" ever again. So no more talk about-- you know, giggle melons.
Munchy: Oh, I forgot. Sorry, Jelly.
Peanut: Hey, guys! Let's play on the swings! We can play "Pass the Butter, Please."
Flick: Pass the Butter, please! (Butter giggles.) Thank you!
Pinch: Pass the Butter ball.
Munchy: Here she comes!
Butter: Whee!
Jelly: You love to play Pass the Butter, Please, don't you?
Butter: Looky.
Pinch: Oh, look. Mr. Caterpillar likes to play Pass the Butter, Please too.
Flick: Hey! Isn't that the same caterpillar that ate Jelly's giggle melon? Oops! Me and my big beak! I was trying so hard not to say "giggle melon." Oops. I said it again.
Peanut: Hey, Jelly. It sure is getting hot, isn't it? Why don't we go ask Mom if we can go swimming?
Flick: Yeah, swimming. That's a great idea! Right, Jelly? Then we won't have to think about giggle melons. What?! What?!
(The kids head to the lake, where they do some fun swimming. They cheer and splash merrily.)
Opal: Come on, kids. Time for lunch. Everybody out of the water.
Munchy: Uh oh. I think it's a real sea monster.
Aunt Nanner: Oodel-ay!
Jelly: It's Aunt Nanner!
Aunt Nanner: And I've got enough fishsicles for everybody.
Opal: Now kids, just take one each. You don't wanna spoil your lunch.
(The kids all cheer and shout happily and take one each.)
Jelly: Mmm. These fishsicles are great.
Pinch: Your Aunt Nanner always brings the best treats.
Flick: Yeah, like the time she brought that giggle melon. Did I say giggle melon again? Oops, I said it again. Sorry, Jelly. I didn't mean to say gig- (Peanut and Munchy cover his beak, cutting him off.) Ow.
Peanut: It's just that we never tasted any of the gig- you know what.
Pinch: And you made it sound so yummy, we were all hoping to try some.
Flick: Yeah, Jelly. Could you tell us again how giggle melon tasted?
(Jelly sobs and walks away.)
Flick: Cheese and quackers! I said it again!
(Scene change. The kids are playing just outside the Otter household and Peanut and Butter come out to join them.)
Flick: Oodel-ay, PB&-- Where's Jelly?!
Peanut: She didn't feel like coming out to play. She's really sad about her garden.
Pinch: I know. Maybe we can plant some flowers in the garden. That might make her happy.
(They visit Jelly's garden and make a discovery...)
Butter: Giggle!
Peanut: You're right, Butter. The giggle melon plant is growing again. Let's go tell Jelly.
(They all go to visit Jelly.)
Flick: You should see it, Jelly. It has a leaf and everything.
Pinch: And we all can help you take care of it.
Munchy: I can taste the giggle melon already. (giggles)
Jelly: It's no use. I tried and it just didn't work. And now summer's half over.
Peanut: Well, I guess she doesn't wanna try anymore. Let's go plant the flowers anyway.
Aunt Nanner: What did the kids say, Jelly?
Jelly: Oh, they wanted me to start trying to grow giggle melons again. But it's too hard. I already tried.
Opal: Now, Jelly, I know you're discouraged. But I'm very very proud of you.
Jelly: Proud? Why? After all my hard work, I still don't have any melons to share with my friends.
Aunt Nanner: But the melon did grow, Jelly. Everyone said you couldn't do it, but you didn't give up. And you shouldn't give up now.
Jelly: Well, my friends did say they'd help me this time.
Aunt Nanner: Of course they will, honey.
Jelly: And this time, we'll be sure to protect the plant from hungry caterpillars.
Aunt Nanner: Great thinking, Jelly! That's using your noodle!
Jelly: Do you really think I can do it?
Aunt Nanner: You won't know if you don't try.
Jelly: Then I'm gonna try.
Pinch: You dig up that old giggle melon plant, Peanut, and then we can plant these beautiful flowers.
Peanut: Well, I guess this is good-bye, giggle melon plant.
Jelly: Peanut, wait! I wanna try to grow that giggle melon again!
Flick: All right, Jelly! We can do it!
Jelly: I'm glad you're all gonna help me. Now that summer's almost over, we'll have to think of ways to really help the giggle melon grow.
Peanut: Hey, I know, Jelly. We'll think of something if we Noodle Dance.
Flick: (looks like he's been slapped stunned) What?! You wanna do a Noodle Dance?!
Peanut: Well, she is my sister. Come on, let's dance!
(Flick continues to stand stunned. Peanut and Jelly start the dance and eventually the others join in. Pinch grabs a basket of a flower petals and throws them around merrily.)
Noodle, noodle, do the Noodle Dance
Solve a problem, it's no strain
Use your noodle, that's your brain
Do the Noodle Dance!
Flick: Ooh, I know. We can work extra-fast. Then the giggle melon will grow extra-fast. Watch this! (He picks up a watering can and runs toward the plant, but he trips and falls.) Oh. Oof!
Peanut: I don't think we should work that fast, Flick. Besides, we need a lot of heat and rain, like Howdydo Island.
Jelly: I've got it. If we all swim together in a chain, we could pull Howydo Island all the way to Lake Hoohaw and grow the giggle melons there.
Peanut: I don't think we could do that, Jelly. We'd never find a rope that big.
Jelly: Well, maybe that plant would grow better if we could make it think that this is Howydo Island.
Peanut: How would we do that, Jel?
Jelly: We'll make it really wet and hot, just like it is on Howydo Island.
~~~Gonna Make the Giggle Melons Grow~~~
[Peanut, Jelly, Butter, Munchy, Flick, Pinch and Scootch]
Got to make it hot
Got to make it wet
Got to make it sunny
We'll have melons yet
Lots of water and lots of light
Makes the giggle melon grow just right
Mr. Caterpillar, no no no
Gotta make this garden grow
We need water, water, water
Lots and lots of water
Run and get the bucket
Fill it to the top
We need light, light, sunlight
Hot, hot sunlight
Blue skies and sunlight
Sunlight makes it grow
Bang the coconuts like they're drums
Get more water, we need a ton
Mr. Caterpillar, no no no
Gotta make this garden grow
Gonna make the melons grow
Gonna make the giggle melons grow, ho!
Peanut: It's looking pretty good, Jelly.
Jelly: Yeah, but we've been working for three weeks and the giggle melon hasn't started growing yet.
Ootsie: Did I hear somebody say "giggle melon"?
Bootsie: We love giggle melons, right Ootsie?
Ootsie: Right, Bootsie.
Jelly: You've had giggle melon?
Bootsie: Of course. We've had everything.
Ootsie: Why, do you have some?
Jelly: No, we're trying to grow one. But we need more heat and light.
Ootsie: We have the brightest lights in all of Lake Hoohaw, right Bootsie?
Bootsie: Right, Ootsie. Our birthday lights.
(A triumphant instrumental version of "Happy Birthday to You" is played as a scene shows Ootsie and Bootsie on a stage with their birthday lights. Crowd cheers.)
Jelly: Can you bring your lights over here and set them up for us?
Bootsie: Ootsie?
Ootsie: Bootsie?
Ootsie and Bootsie: No!
Others: Aw.
Bootsie: But our butler can.
(The others cheer excitedly. The Poodle butler comes and brings the lights. Ootsie and Bootsie are reclining on chairs, watching the proceedings.)
Bootsie: All this work is simply exhausting.
Ootsie: Yes, but it's worth it, Bootsie. Think about that giggle melon.
(With the help of the big lights and the care and attention of the kids, the giggle melon plant grows and sprouts many melons.)
Jelly: Wow. Now there's enough giggle melons for everybody.
Peanut: All right. There's a whole giggle melon for each of us. Let's go show Mom!
Jelly: Mama! Dad! Look! Giggle melons!
Opal: Jelly, it's wonderful what you and your friends have done.
Ernest: Yep, you kids worked hard and didn't give up. And now you've got a harvest of giggle melons.
Opal: We should have a party.
Ernest: Let's invite the whole town.
(The kids cheer their approval of this idea. Scene change. The whole town has indeed gathered around a massive picnic table for the party.)
Opal: So glad you folks could make it. (A large shadow appears over the table.)
Jelly: Oh no. I hope it's not gonna rain.
Peanut: Look! It's Aunt Nanner!
Aunt Nanner: (descending from a ladder) Goodness gracious. Looks like I got here just in time. What's this wing-ding for?
Jelly: It's a giggle melon party!
Aunt Nanner: Why, Jelly, you really grew giggle melons. I just knew you could do it. I'm proud of you, honey.
Opal: We're all proud of these children. And now, it's time for the kids to eat their giggle melons. (Everyone cheers.)
Jelly: Before we eat, I just wanted to say I'm thankful to all my friends for helping me grow these giggle melons.
Pinch: Thank you, Jelly. It was fun.
Jelly: And I'm thankful to Mama and Aunt Nanner for helping me see that I shouldn't give up. And I'm thankful it's time to eat! Mmm!
Opal: Why, Mr. and Mrs. Muskrat. What a delightful surprise.
Mr. Muskrat: Just happened to be in the neighborhood and thought we'd drop by to say hello.
Mrs. Muskrat: Hello.
Opal: We're having a feast. We'd love to have you join us.
Jelly: Hey, Dolores. Hey, Lilly. It's good to see ya'll again.
Dolores and Lilly: Hey, Jelly!
Lilly: What are you eating, Jelly?
Jelly: It's called a giggle melon and we have enough for everybody.
(Jelly realizes that while they may have had enough for everybody that was there, there isn't enough for the Muskrats as well. She decides to share hers.)
Jelly: And here's a piece for you all, too!
Lilly: Wow, Jelly. Thanks for the giggle melon.
Peanut: (whispering) Jelly worked harder than anybody to grow these giggle melons.
Munchy: And it sure was nice of her to share her piece with Dolores and Lilly.
Flick: You guys thinking what I'm thinking? (trumpet fanfare plays)
Peanut: Here, Jelly.
Flick: Me, too.
Munchy: Here you go, Jelly.
Pinch: Here's another piece, Jelly.
Opal: Doesn't it do your heart good to see our kids sharing like that?
Mrs. Beaver: Oh, they're just wonderful children.
Mayor Jeff: Pretty good gardeners too.
(He eats his piece and giggles. All giggle and chatter.)
Flick: Save your seeds for next year's garden!

In case if you're wondering, I found this while I was searching for PB&J info. I was curious about what the UK site was like, so I found this.

Transcript - Win, Win, Winner
Here's a transcript typed up by yours truly.
Win, Win, Winner
The Awesome Otters (team name) are practicing soccer
Munchy : (nervous, chewing on a stick) Jelly’s got the ball…(chews on stick again)she lost the ball…(chews on stick once more)…Jelly’s got the ball again... Go Awesome Otters and Daring Duck! Go!
Two rabbits miss when they try to get the ball from Jelly; she walks right past them, and they fall onto each other
Munchy: (cont’d) Yay! Yippie! Whoo hoo!
Ootsie: Munchy, our little beaver friend…
Bootsie: We always mean to critisize…
Ootsie: But you are being extremely loud…
Bootsie: For no apparent reason.
Munchy: I have to be loud. I’m the official cheering person for the Awesome Otters and Daring Duck Soccer Team.
Bootsie: Well, if you must be loud…(with Ootsie)…please be quiet.
Munchy: (stares, blinks twice, and turns around; whispering) All right, team. We are doing great.
Jelly: Coming at ya. (kicks soccer ball)
Peanut: (tries to kick, but misses and fallls down)
The other team, The Wonderous Wolverines, gets the ball
Munchy: We have it…oh. We were doing great.
Jelly: (helping Peanut up and laughing) That was your funniest kick yet! (Peanut joins in laughing, too)
The rabbits still have the ball and are about to kick it
Flick: Go ahead, rabbits. Take your best shot. Nobody messes with the Daring Duck. (they do, and he blocks it, causing the ball to bounce off of the stomach of one of the rabbits and into the net)
The rabbits are happy
Peanut: That’s okay, Flick. Don’t worry. That’s only 27 points for the Rabbitastic Rabbits.
Flick: Yeah, yeah. But still 0 for us. Zero, nada, zip! We lost again.
(Later)
Munchy: Sorry, you guys. I cheered my hardest.
Peanut: We know you did, Munchy. Thanks.
Munchy: Is this the 10th time we’ve lost, or the 11th?
Flick: 12th.
Munchy: Oh.
Jelly: But it was definitely the funniest.
P eanut: Yeah. Especially when I missed that kick and landed on my tail.
Jelly: You went oops.
Peanut: I went double oops! (laughs with Jelly)
Flick: That isn’t funny. We lost! And I’m tired of losing!
Munchy: Maybe you guys could use a coach.
Peanut: Yeah. That’s a great idea. I’ll ask my dad.
(At the Otters’ house)
Peanut, Jelly, and Flick are there
Peanut: Thanks for being our coach, Dad.
Ernest: Thanks for asking me, Peanut. Now let’s start with a little test—kicking. Now kick the ball straight into the net like this. (kicks the ball over the net and into Lake Hoohaw wher e a fish eats it) Well, I guess my first advice as your coach is never, never kic k the ball too hard.
Flick: And never feed the ball to a hungry fish. (laughs at his joke)
Peanut: Guess this means practice is over.
Ernest: Sorry, kids. I’ll order another ball.
Flick: So what do we do in the meantime?
Ernest: All I can tell you is this. When your in the game, do your best, play fair, and have fun.
His advice doesn’t satisfy Flick
(At the soccer field)
Flick: I’m doing my best, and I’m playing fair, but I’m sure not having fun. We’re 17 points behind and here comes a star player. (that last sentence didn’t seem like I got it right to me)
The same rabbits from before kick the ball towards the net, and it hits Flick in the stomach, but it doesn’t make it in
Flick: (cont’d) I blocked it! I blocked it!
Wooly Wolverine 1: (couldn’t get the first sentence) Nice stuff.
Flick: Whoa. You’re Wooly Wolverine.
Wooly: Yeah, that’s me. And after the game, we’ll talk.
(in front of the Otters’ house)
P&J: (at same time) You’re what?!
Flick: I’m leaving the Awesome Otters and Daring Duck Team.
Peanut: You can’t!
Flick: Sure I can. I got a better offer.
Jelly: From who?
Flick: The Wonderous Wolverines. They’re (I couldn’t get some of this sentence right)…and Wooly—he’s team captain—wants me.
Peanut: But we need you. What’ll Jelly and I do?
Flick: You’ll find somebody. I couldn’t say no. After all, the Wolverines have won every game they’ve played.
Jelly: You want to win.
Flick: Yeah. What else is there?
(the field where the Wonderous Wolverines are training)
Wooly: (while Flick and a Wolverine are doing jumping jacks) Hup two. (x7) (while he says it the 4th-7th times, he is shown standing in front of a giant metronome)
He blows a whistle and Flick is tired, but the Wolverine isn’t
Flick: (panting) Wow. That was a workout. Is practice always like (beat) this? (as he says that, the Wolverine walks away) My team mate isn’t very friendly.
Wooly: Okay, (????). Take 30 laps around the track.
Flick: (surprised) Now?!
Wooly: That’s what I said. And I’m the team captain. Now!
Flick: But when does the fun stuff start?
Wooly: Fun? You’re kidding, right? Now run!
(in front of the Otters’ house)
Peanut and Jelly are with Munchy
Munchy: But I don’t want a promotion.
Peanut: Sure you do, Munch.
Munchy: No. I like being the official cheering section of the Awesome Otters and Daring Duck.
Jelly: Wouldn’t you rather be the official goalie of the Awesome Otters and the Bertacious Beaver?
Munchy: No.
Peanut: But you’d get to kick the ball.
Munchy: No, thanks. I’d rather try out my new idea. Instead of the cheering section, I’m going to be the official sports brodcaster.
Jelly: Well, okay. If that’s how you feel.
Peanut: We’ll find someone else to take Flick’s place…I hope.
(the field where the Wolverines practice)
There is a big machine on the field that shoots soccer balls into the net
Wooly: Ready, goalie?
Flick: Uh, ready, Wooly.
Wooly: That’s Captain Wooly to you. And don’t forget, for every ball you don’t block, we will need 21 push ups.
Flick: Are you sure we have to do this?
Wooly: Stop whining or I will make it 40 push ups. (he flips the switch that starts the machine)
Numerous soccer balls are hurled at the net, none of which Flick blocks
Flick: Cheese and crackers. (the net is completely full with soccer balls) I hope he’s something like Peanut and Jelly Otter.
Wooly: (comes into view) You owe me 1,260 push ups, Daring Ducky.
Flick: Can I ask you something first?
Wooly: What?
Flick: Now that I’m on the team, can we call it The Daring Duck and the Wonderous Wolverines?
Wooly: (sarcastically) Aw, that’s so funny, I forgot to laugh. (normal) Just The Wonderous Wolverines. Now get moving on those push ups!
Flick: If this is Wooly’s way of cheering me up (beat), it isn’t working.
(In front of Pinch’s house)
Pinch has a tea party set up
Pinch: You’re kidding, right?
Jelly: No! And if you join us, we’ll call the team The Awesome Otters and the Radical Racoon.
Pinch: Really? Wow. I’ve never been radical before.
Peanut: So you’ll do it?
Pinch: No. (continues playing)
Jelly shrugs
(the area where the WW practice)
Flick: (really tired and worn out and doing push ups) 1,259…(struggling)…One thousand two hundred…(beat)…sixty! (he sighs and falls down slowly)
Wooly: (walks into view) Now comes the good part of practice.
Flick: (worn out and hopeful) It’s over? I can go eat dinner?
Wooly: No food for you, feathers.
Flick: When Awesome Otter practice is over, we always have snacks.
Wooly: Who needs snacks? It’s time for cheating lessons.
Flick: Cheating lessons? But Mr. Otter said we should always play fair.
Wooly: Fair? Not on this team. We do whatever it takes to win. You do want to win, don’t you?
(In front of the Snooties’ house)
Bootsie: So you want to combine your soccer team…
Ootsie: With our soccer team? (they laugh at the idea of it)
Bootsie: But our team…
Ootsie: Always wins.
Jelly: And our team always has fun.
Bootsie: That’s true.
Peanut: So you’ll do it?
Ootsie and Bootsie: (together) No, (they shut the doors to their mansion)
Peanut: Now what’ll we do?
Jelly: I think we should Noodle Dance.
Peanut: Right now? Right here?
Jelly: Yep. It’s always the right time and the right place to use your noodle.
Peanut: I guess it’s sort of time to noodle, but I don’t feel like dancing. (Jelly starts dancing and Peanut joins in 5 seconds later)
The Noodle Dance song goes to the “Use your noodle, use your brain” lyric
Jelly: (gets an idea) I’ve got it! My brain just scored a goal!
Peanut: What? What? Pass it on!
Jelly: We get Munchy to help us build a big, wooden goalie. (idea is shown)
Peanut: (VO) That would be neat.
Jelly: (VO) But we probably couldn’t get it ready by this afternoon.
Peanut: Still, a big goalie would be really great. Maybe Butter and Scootch (idea is shown) together would make one big goalie. (Butter and Scootch laugh) This is hard. Maybe we should just give up.
Jelly: No way. We’ve got to keep thinking.
Peanut: Maybe we can go ask Flick to come back.
Jelly: But why would he change his mind?
Peanut: Maybe he’d be happy if we promised to try real hard to win.
Jelly: Well, let’s go ask him. At least we’ll do good just trying.
(In front of Flick’s house)
Flick is bouncing a soccer ball against a tree
Peanut and Jelly arrive
Peanut: Hey, Flick. We want to make a deal with you.
Flick: What kind of deal?
Jelly: If you come back and be our goalie, we promise to try real hard to win.
Flick: No deal.
Peanut and Jelly: (together; surprised) No deal?
Flick: Nope, but I’ve got one for you. I’ll be your goalie again if you promise we can just have fun.
Peanut and Jelly: (together; surprised) Wha-?
Flick: The Wonderous Wolverines never have any fun.
Peanut: But they win.
Flick: Yeah, but they never play fair enough. And I’m the Daring Duck, not the Cheating Duck.
Jelly: What happened, Flick? Did you get kicked off the team?
Flick: Nope. I quit. It was the only fun I had the whole time.
Jelly: Well, now that you’re back with us, the fun is only starting.
Peanut: Right. Make way for the fun champions.
---------------------------------------------------
Song – We Always Win
Peanut: It doesn’t matter if we miss the ball.
Jelly: It doesn’t matter if we trip and fall (helps Peanut up). (with Peanut) It doesn’t matter if our team is in the hole. (Munchy and Flick start singing) It doesn’t matter if we take a shot and miss the goal.
Munchy: It doesn’t matter if we get a bruise.
Flick: It doesn’t matter if we always lose.
Everyone: If we’re with our friends through thick and thin, and we’re having fun…we always win!
Peanut: Give me an F!
Everyone: F!
Jelly: Give me a U!
Everyone: U!
Munchy: Give me an N!
Everyone: N! What do you got?
Flick: Fun!
Everyone: We win! It doesn’t matter if we win or lose. It doesn’t matter whose victory’s whose. If we’re with our friends from start to end, when we’re having fun…we always win!
Flick: One more time!
Everyone: If we’re with our friends from start to end, when we’re having fun…we always win! We win!
--------------------------------------------------
(The soccer field)
Munchy: This is Munchy Beaver brodcasting to you from the Lake Hoohaw Soccer Field. The game has just ended. And here’s the home team—The Awesome Otters and Daring Duck. You should have seen the valliant struggle they put up against their (???) opponents—The Wonderous Wolverines. However, they did have a slight problem. (holds stick “microphone up to Jelly)
Jelly: We lost.
Peanut: (with stick “microphone” held up to him) 112 to 0.
Flick: (with stick “microphone” microphone held up to him) But we had the most fun. And nobody can beat us at that.
Munchy: Yay, Daring Duck!
Flick: Yay, Awesome Otters! (with Peanut, Jelly, and Munchy) Yeah! Alright!
------------------------------------------------

Opal: "The Singin' Kid"
(whimsical carnival music, scenes of carnival-goers)
Crowd: (chanting) Odella! Odella! Odella!
Jelly: I can't believe it. My favorite singer in the whole world, right here in Lake Hoohaw.
Mayor Jeff: Ladies and gentlemen, give a big, warm Lake Hoohaw welcome to Odella Otter.
Crowd: Ya'ay, ya'ay!
~~~The Biggest Little Thing~~~
[Odella Otter]
Ooh ooh ooh
Inside of me
There's a big great big voice
Sayin' "Go friend, I've got no choice"
I'm a star, got my limousine
My face is on the front of every magazine
This otter's gotta do what a otter do
Everybody's lovin' me now through and through
Stage and screen, yeah, I'm a star machine
I'm the biggest little thing to hit the scene
I'm the biggest little thing this lake has seen, yeah!
(song ends, crowd cheers)
Jelly: Wow, what a star.
(scene change, whimsical carnival music resumes)
Peanut: Are you ready, Dad?
Ernest: Ready!
Butter: Hee hee hee. Hee hee hee.
Jelly: Now!
(She, Peanut and Butter all toss balls which hit a target, dead-center. Ernest is dunked in a vat of water. All three laugh and Ernest makes funny faces and sticks his tongue out underwater.)
Mayor Jeff: (over sound system) Attention, please. The singing tryouts are about to begin.
Jelly: I gotta give this a try.
Ernest: Hey, where did everybody go?
~~~Talkin' About Hoohaw Lake~~~
[Flick]
A cut above the rest, ha!
We got love in a feathered nest
Where are all the chickadees agree
There's no place we'd rather be
We're flockin' and a'rockin', for goodness sake
Talkin' about Hoohaw Lake, yeah!
(Don't change, you're beautiful. silence, sound of crickets chirping
Tough crowd.)
(Flick exits the stage and Mayor Jeff takes his place.)
Mayor Jeff: Okay. Last, but certainly not least, we have Jelly Otter. (crowd cheers)
~~~From Our Heart~~~
[Jelly]
From the start
We take what we've been given
From our heart, everything that we do
Never part, from the love that we're livin'
And to our friends, we've gotta be true!
(crowd cheers and applauds)
Peanut: Jammin' Jelly. Way to go, Jelly. Way to go.
Mayor Jeff: (joining Pinch, Jelly and Flick) Well, I wanna say that all of the singers were really amazing, in their own way. So it was a very tough decision. But the judges have decided. The winner is... Jelly Otter!
Jelly: Wow, I'm the winner. Thank you, Mayor Jeff. Thank you, everybody.
Mayor Jeff: Congratulations, Jelly. Your song will be a highlight performance on the last day of the fair.
(Diagonal sidewipe to off-stage, where the others have gathered to congratulate Jelly.)
Butter: Jelly!
Peanut: Nice going, Jel.
Jelly: Thanks, Peanut.
Flick: I wish I could sing at the fair. But, I gotta admit it, Jelly. Ya' sure sang great.
Jelly: Thanks, Flick!
Pinch: You know, Jelly, you're going to be a star.
Jelly: Wow, a star?
(Scene change, Otter family household)
Jelly: (singing) Everything may come to you / But above it all you gotta be true! (stops singing and picks up a copy of "Otter Beat") Wow, singing at the Lake Hoohaw County Fair. I really hit the big time now.
(Fantasy sequence-- Jelly imagines herself standing in the spotlight on a stage, dressed up like Odella Otter. Flashbulbs pop, sequence ends.)
Jelly: Maybe I'll even get a record deal, like Odella Otter.
(A series of records is shown: "Jelly Otter," "Jelly - Who's That Otter?," "Jelly - Material Mammal" Crowd chants "Jelly, Jelly, Jelly!" Fantasy sequence ends.)
Pinch: Jelly?!
Jelly: Huh?
Pinch: Jelly?! Jelly?!
Jelly: Hey, Pinch.
Pinch: Jelly, it's time for our dress-up tea party.
Jelly: Sorry, Pinch. I don't have time for any dinky tea parties. After all, I'm a famous singer now. (Pinch looks shocked and walks away.) Wow, I've got a million things to do before my big performance.
Butter: Jelly play?
Jelly: No time! We have work to do. (She picks up a clipboard with pen and paper attached.) Okay, Butter. All famous singers need a personal assistant, so you will be my personal assistant.
Butter: Okay.
Jelly: I'm gonna need cool clothes and sunglasses.
Butter: Wata.
Jelly: A special hairdo. A private dressing room with fancy bottled water.
Butter: Wata.
Jelly: And lots of lots of little peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
Butter: PB&J.
Jelly: Smooth, not crunchy.
Butter: Smooth!
Jelly: Have you got all that Butter?
Butter: (nods) Tee hee hee. (holds up the clipboard, which is full of scribbles)
(Scene change. Munchy and Peanut are playing outside, triumphant theme plays.)
Munchy: Space creatures have us surrounded, Ranger Peanut. We can't hold them off much longer. Especially with these cardboard tubes.
Peanut: Shh, we're pretending, remember? (heroic voice) Fear not, Ranger Munchy. Ranger Jelly and Ranger Butter will help us fend them off. (They head inside the Otter household, only to be stopped by Butter. She's standing outside Jelly's door, with now has a star with her name affixed to it.)
Butter: (putting his hand forward) Stop!
Peanut: Hey, Butter. Do you and Jelly wanna play Space Rangers with us? (Butter knocks on Jelly's door.)
Jelly: Sorry, no autographs right now. But if you leave your name with my personal assistant, Butter, I might be able to give you one later. (She closes the door, Butter holds her hands as if to say she doesn't get it either.)
Peanut and Munchy: Personal assistant?!
(Slide wipe to next scene. Peanut, Pinch and Flick are all gathered around a cardboard box with a number of items on top, dressed up as knights and princess.)
Flick: This is our best castle ever.
Pinch: And the prettiest!
Jelly: (loudly and off-key, dresed badly as a pop star) Sometimes things can go so wrong / But I know I'm not alone / Friends and family keep my strong / Deep down I know that I belong. (As she continues, she stumbles forward and the others start waving at her to stop. She pays no attention and ends up knocking over their castle.)
Peanut: Jelly, you wrecked our castle!
Flick: Why don't you watch where you're walking?
Jelly: Why don't you watch where I'm walking?
Pinch: Jelly Otter, what are you doing?
Jelly: Hmp. (She leaves and Butter tags after her.)
(Scene change. Triumphant music plays as the fair resumes.)
Mayor Jeff: (over public address system) Welcome, everybody, to the Lake Hoohaw County Fair.
Peanut: Whaddya you guys wanna do next?
Mayor Jeff: And now the main stages proudly present a special performance by Jelly Otter.
(Munchy, Pinch and Flick cross their arms and make angry faces.)
Peanut: Come on, guys. She is my sister and she's still our friend.
(The others give each other a look and nod. They all run to the stage. Backstage, Jelly is powdering her face.)
Mayor Jeff: Okay, Jelly, you're up next. Good luck.
Jelly: I'm ready, Mayor Jeff. (off-key) If your dreams seem oh-so-farrrr... (stops suddenly, coughs)
Mayor Jeff: And now, let's have a nice hand for a great young singer. (crowd cheers) Jelly Otter! Jelly Otter? Uh, excuse me, folks. I'm sure she'll be out here any second now.
(Peanut quickly grabs Butter and they run backstage. There, they find Jelly sobbing.)
Peanut: Jelly, what's the matter?
Jelly: (scratchily) It's my voice.
Peanut: What happened to it?
Jelly: Well, I guess I was just singing so much I overused it. Oh, Peanut, what am I gonna do?
Peanut: Hey, maybe your throat is just dry. Here, drink some lemonade.
Jelly: (still scratchy) Hey, that's great lemonade. (tosses the empty cup in the trash) Well, Peanut, I think there's only one thing left to do.
Peanut: You go buy me another lemonade?
Jelly: Actually, I was hoping we could a do a Noodle Dance. Please, Peanut?
Peanut: Well, I'll sing (crosses his arms) but I can't promise I'll dance.
Noodle, use your noodle
Noodle, do the noodle dance
Jelly: I've got it! I'll just take some magic voice spray and presto, my voice will be good as new.
Peanut: That'd be great, Jelly. Do you have any magic voice spray?
Jelly: Mmm. I guess not.
Peanut: I wish I could lend you my voice for a little while. That's it! I could build a voice-borrower machine and take my voice out and give it to you. (He babbles into an imaginary machine.)
Jelly: Do you know how to build a voice-borrower machine, Peanut?
Peanut: Not exactly. But it does give me an even better idea. Maybe we can all lend you our voices for a while.
Jelly: Huh?
Peanut: What if the whole Lake Hoohaw Funky Band sang with you?
Jelly: But I acted like such a show-off bigshot. Do you really think anyone would want to help me?
Peanut: I know they will, Jelly. That's what friends are for. Let's go.
(They run off to ask. Scene change-- on-stage, Flick is doing a bad comedy routine.)
Flick: So then the duck says, "well, if I quack like that, I wouldn't need to talk about her." Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Ah ha ha. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. (silence, sound of crickets chirping) Man, tough crowd. (walks off-stage)
Jelly: (whispering from behind a curtain) Mayor Jeff. (whispers in his ear)
Mayor Jeff: Uh huh. (trumpet fanfare) Folks, it's time to continue with our scheduled program wi- with one slight change. Please welcome the Lake Hoohaw Funky Singers.
~~~From Our Heart (Full Cast)~~~
[Peanut]
If your dreams seem oh so far
Just remember who you are
[Munchy]
Everything may come to you
[Peanut, Butter, Munchy, Flick, Pinch and Scoot]
But to yourself you gotta be true
From the start
[Peanut]
We take what we've been given
[Peanut, Butter, Munchy, Flick, Pinch and Scoot]
From our heart
[Flick]
Everything that we do
[Peanut, Butter, Munchy, Flick, Pinch and Scoot]
Never part
[Pinch]
From the love that we're livin'
[Peanut, Butter, Munchy, Flick, Pinch and Scoot]
And to our friends we gotta be true
[Jelly]
(My voice, it's back!)
Sometimes things can go so wrong
But I know I'm not alone
Friends and family keep me strong
Deep down, I know that I belong
[Peanut, Jelly, Butter, Munchy, Flick, Pinch and Scoot]
In a mirror, you can see
Anything you wanna be
Everything may come to you
But above it all you gotta be true
From the start
[Peanut]
We take what we've been given
[Peanut, Jelly, Butter, Munchy, Flick, Pinch and Scoot]
From our heart

Everything that we do
[Peanut, Jelly, Butter, Munchy, Flick, Pinch and Scoot]
Never part from the love that we're livin'
And to our friends we gotta be true.
(crowd applauds and cheers, the group exits from backstage)
Peanut: Wow, what a show.
Jelly: Everybody, there's something I wanna say to all of you. I just wanna say that I'm sorry for acting like such a big showoff before. I guess I was trying so hard to be a star, I kinda forgot how to be a good friend. But you guys are the best friends an otter could ever have and I won't ever forget that again. Thanks, everybody.
Others: You're welcome!
Jelly: Now let's get back to the fair!
Others: Yeah!
(They start to walk off, but are mobbed by a crowd. Flashbulbs pop.)
Ernest: Hooray for the Lake Hoohaw Funky Singers!
(All cheer and laugh.)
