| Narrator: «It's Christmas Eve, and Larry is anxiously awaiting the
|
| Arrival of Santa Claus with a plate of cookies.»
|
| Larry: «Oh, Santa! |
| I can’t wait for you to come, I just can’t wait for
|
| You to come, and I’ve got cookies! |
| Three yummy cookies! |
| Just for you for
|
| When you come, oh me, for you for when you come … because it’s
|
| Christmas!»
|
| (Knock-knock-knock)
|
| Larry: «Could that be Santa? |
| Could that be him? |
| Could it be the one who
|
| Brings presents for a cucumber like me, a good cucumber like me?»
|
| Narrator: «Larry is surprised to be greeted not by Santa, but crafty
|
| Bankrobber!»
|
| Larry: «Who are you?»
|
| Bankrobber: «I'm a bankrobber! |
| And I’ve come to rob your bank, oh yes!
|
| I’ve come to rob your bank, and I’ve come to take your dimes and swipe
|
| Your nickels. |
| So stand back, step aside you silly pickle! |
| And let me
|
| In!»
|
| Narrator: «Although frightened by the intruder, in the spirit of
|
| Christmas Larry makes an offering.»
|
| Larry: «I'm not a banker … I have no bank my robbing friend, but I
|
| Have cookies--three yummy cookies. |
| And I don’t have nickels, but please |
| Take this my robbing friend. |
| Eat one of these my robbing friend. |
| They
|
| Are for Santa, but you may have one.»
|
| Narrator: «The bankrobber is truly touched by Larry’s good will. |
| But
|
| Larry, although momentarily distracted, is still excited about seeing
|
| Santa.»
|
| Larry: «Oh, Santa! |
| I can’t wait for you to come, I just can’t wait for
|
| You to come, and I’ve got cookies! |
| Two yummy cookies! |
| Just for you for
|
| When you come, oh me, for you for when you come … because it’s
|
| Christmas!»
|
| Bankrobber: (Simultaneously) «I'm a robber! |
| I came to rob your bank, oh
|
| Yes! |
| I came to rob your bank … you shared a cookie--a yummy cookie
|
| Though I’d love to take your dimes, perhaps another time--because it’s
|
| Christmas!»
|
| (Knock, knock, knock)
|
| Larry: «Could that be Santa? |
| Could that be him? |
| Could it be the one who
|
| Brings presents for a cucumber like me, a good cucumber like me?»
|
| Narrator: «Once again, it is not Santa who has come to Larry’s door, but
|
| This time a savage Norseman.»
|
| Larry: «Who are you?»
|
| Viking: «I'm a viking! |
| And I’ve come to take your land, oh yes! |
| I’ve |
| Come to take your land, and I’ve come to burn your crops and steal your
|
| Horses. |
| And I’ve come to … step on your chickens! |
| And soil your
|
| Quilts!»
|
| Narrator: «Although frightened by the intruder, in the spirit of
|
| Christmas Larry makes an offering.»
|
| Larry: «I don’t have land … I don’t have crops, my viking friend, but
|
| I have cookies--two yummy cookies. |
| And I don’t have horses, but please
|
| Take this my viking friend. |
| Eat one of these my viking friend. |
| They are
|
| For Santa, but you may have one.»
|
| Narrator: «The viking is also touched by Larry’s good will. |
| But Larry’s
|
| Thoughts are still with Santa.»
|
| Larry: «Oh, Santa! |
| I can’t wait for you to come, I just can’t wait for
|
| You to come, I’ve got a cookie! |
| A yummy cookie! |
| Just for you for when
|
| You come, oh me, for you for when you come … because it’s Christmas!»
|
| Viking: (Simultaneously) «I'm a viking! |
| I came to take your land, oh
|
| Yes! |
| I came to take your land … you shared a cookie--a yummy cookie
|
| Though I’d love to soil your quilts, I don’t think that I wilt … |
| Because it’s Christmas!»
|
| (Knock-knock-knock)
|
| Larry: «Could that be Santa? |
| Could that be him? |
| Could it be the one who
|
| Brings presents for a cucumber like me, a good cucumber like me?»
|
| Narrator: «Larry is greeted now by an agent of the Internal Revenue
|
| Service.»
|
| Larry: «Who are you?»
|
| Peach: «I'm from the IRS! |
| And I’ve come to tax your …» (Slam)
|
| Larry: «Oh, Santa! |
| I can’t wait for you to come, I just can’t wait for
|
| You to come … It’s finally Santa! |
| It’s finally him! |
| At last, the one
|
| Who brings presents for a cucumber like me, a good cucumber like me!»
|
| Santa: «I'm Santa! |
| And I’ve come to bring you gifts, oh yes! |
| I’ve come
|
| To bring you gifts, and I’ve come to stuff your stockings--oh ho-ho-ho!
|
| And I’ve come to jiggle my belly. |
| And wiggle my nose … Hey, wait a
|
| Minute! |
| Isn’t that my belt? |
| And what are you doing with my hat? |
| So
|
| You’re the ones!»
|
| Bankrobber: «Wait a minute, I can explain!»
|
| Viking: «We've changed!»
|
| Santa: «Nobody messes with Santa! |
| You know that don’t you?! |
| You’ve been
|
| Very naughty! |
| And I’ve got a list!» |
| Peach: «Did you claim that?»
|
| Larry: «Merry … Christmas» |
