Odd Holiday #8--Lip Lovin'
Who knew my favorite singing vegetables sang about a holiday besides traditional ones?
It's "I Love My Lips" day. Who would've guessed?
In honor of Larry the Cucumber's love of his lips, I'm pasting in his song to help you celebrate "I Love My Lips" Day. Picture a cucumber on a psychiatrist's leather couch, singing about his lip woes. I also like it because Dr. Archibald gives Larry the inkblots test, which, of course, I like because of my blog name. Are you visualizing? Here we go:
Larry:
If my lips ever left my mouth,
Packed a bag and headed south,
That'd be too bad, I'd be so sad.
Dr. Archibald:
I see, that'd be too bad, you'd be so sad?
Larry:
That'd be too bad.
Dr. Archibald:
Alrighty.
Larry:
If my lips said "Adios,
I don't like you, I think you're gross."
That'd be too bad, I might get mad.
Dr. Archibald:
Hm, that'd be too bad, you might get mad?
Larry:
That'd be too bad.
Dr. Archibald:
Fascinating.
Larry:
If my lips moved to Duluth
Left a mess and took my tooth.
That'd be too bad, I'd call my Dad.
Dr. Archibald:
Oh dear, that'd be too bad, you'd call your dad?
Larry:
That'd be too bad.
Dr. Archibald:
Hold it. Did you say your father? Facinating!
So what you're saying is if your lips left you?
Larry:
That'd be too bad, I'd be so sad.
I might get mad, I call my Dad.
That'd be too bad.
Dr. Archibald:
That'd be too bad?
Larry:
That'd be too bad.
Dr. Archibald:
Why?
Larry:
Because I love my lips. (makes noises in tune with his lips)
Dr. Archibald:
Oh my! This is more serious than I thought.
Larry, what do you see here? (showing inkblot)
Larry:
Um, that looks like a lip.
Dr. Archibald:
What about this?
Larry:
It's a lip.
Dr. Archibald:
And this?
Larry (to tune of "William Tell Overture":
It's a lip, it's a lip, it's a lip, lip, lip
It's a lip, it's a lip, it's a lip, lip, lip
It's a lip, it's a lip, it's a lip, lip, lip
It's a lip, it's a lip, lip, lip.
Dr. Archibald:
Larry, tell me about your childhood.
Larry:
When I was just two years old,
I left my lips out in the cold.
And they turned blue,
What could I do?
Dr. Archibald:
Oh dear. They turned blue,
What could you do?
Larry:
Oh, They turned blue.
Dr. Archibald:
I see.
Larry:
On the day I got my tooth,
I had to kiss my Great Aunt Ruth.
She had a beard and it felt weird.
Dr. Archibald:
My, my, she had a beard
And it felt weird?
Larry:
She had a beard.
Dr. Archibald:
Oh!
Larry:
Ten days after I turned 8,
Got my lips stuck in a gate
My friends all laughed...
And I just stood there until the fire department came
and broke the lock with a crowbar and I had to spend
the next six weeks in lip rehab with this kid named Oscar
who got stung by a bee right on the lip and we couldn't
even talk to each other until the fifth week because both
our lips were so swollen and when he did start speaking
he just spoke polish and I only knew like three words in polish
except now I know four because Oscar taught me the
word for lip, "Usta".
Dr. Archibald:
Your friends all laughed. Usta. How do you spell that?
Larry:
I don't know.
Dr. Archibald:
So what you're saying is that when you were young?
Larry:
They turned blue, what could I do?
She had a beard, and it felt weird.
My friends all laughed, usta.
Dr. Archibald:
I'm confused.
Larry:
I love my lips!

That's one of my favorite Silly Songs. It makes me laugh out loud when I see it on video. I also love the "Yodeling Veternarian" song. Not sure I got the name right.

I like this song and the hairbrush song.
