Lyrics The Dance Of The Cucumber - VeggieTales

The Dance Of The Cucumber

And now it’s time for «Silly Songs with Larry,» the part of the show where
Larry comes out and sings a silly song.
Larry will be performing the
traditional Argentinian ballad
'The Dance of the Cucumber,' in it’s original Spanish.
Bob the Tomato will
translate."
Miren al pepino (Watch the cucumber)
Miren como se mueve (See how he moves,)
Como un leon (Like a lion)
Tras un raton (Chasing a mouse.)
Miren al pepino (Watch the cucumber)
Sus suaves movimientos (Oh, how smooth his motion,)
Es como mantequilla (Like butter)
En un chango pelon.
(On a… bald monkey.)
Miren al pepino (Watch the cucumber)
Los vegetales (All the vegetables)
Envidian a su amigo (Envy their friend)
Como el quieren bailar.
(Wishing to dance as he.)
Pepino bailarin (Dancing cucumber), pepino bailarin (dancing cucumber),
pepino bailarin (dancing cucumber)
¡Baila, baila, ya!
(Dance, dance, yeah!)
Miren al tomate.
(Look at the tomato.)
¿No es triste?
(Isn't it sad?)
El no puede bailar.
(He can’t…dance…)
¡Pobre tomate!
(Poor…tomato!)
El deberia poder bailar como el pepino (He wishes he could dance…
like the cucumber…)
Libre y suavemente.
(Free and… smooth…)
Pero el no puede danzar.
(But he… can't…)
OK, STOP THE MUSIC!
What do you mean I can’t dance?!
I can dance!
What about Uncle Louie’s polka party?
Didn’t you see me dancing at Uncle Louie’s polka party?!
No comprendo
«No comprendo»?
I’ll show YOU «No comprendo»!
Mom!
Dad!
Look over here!
Get a picture of me next to the cucumber in authentic Argentinian garb!
Okay, Junior.
But we’d better hurry-I think the dwarves have your mother
confused with someone else!
(we then see three onion dwarves chasing Junior’s Mom, likely confusing her for
Snow White)
Say «Peas!»
«Peas!»
(the photo is taken, so the song soon resumes-although Bob is far less happy to
translate this time.)
Escuchen al pepino (Listen to the cucumber,)
Oigan su voz fuerte (Hear his strong voice,)
Como un leon (Like a lion)
Listo a devorar.
(About to eat.)
Escuchen al pepino (Listen to the cucumber)
Que dulce es su canto, (Oh, how sweet his voice.)
La voz de su garganta parece un trniar.
(The breath from his throat is like a
chorus of little birdies.)
Escuchen al pepino (Listen to the cucumber,)
Los vegetales (All the vegetables)
Envidian a su amigo (Envy their friend)
Como el quieren cantar.
(Wishing to sing as he.)
Pepino cantador (Singing cucumber), pepino cantador (singing cucumber),
pepino cantador (singing cucumber)
¡Canta, canta, ya!
(Sing, sing, yeah.)
Escuchen al tomate.
(Listen to the tomato…)
¿No es triste?
(Isn't it… sad?!)
El no puede cantar.
(He can’t sing…)
¡Pobre tomate!
(Poor…tomato.)
El deberia poder cantar (He wishes he could sing…)
Fuerte y ducle como el pepino.
(Strong and… sweet like the cucumber…)
Pero el no puede, (But he can’t…)
¡Ni siquiera da un silbido!
(Can't even… whistle!)
All right, that’s it, Señor!
Come over here and let me sing YOU a song!
¡Adiós, amigos!
[Narrator (spoken as Bob gives chase)
This has been «Silly Songs With Larry.»
Tune in next time to hear Larry sing:
Bob is really angry!
I hope he doesn’t catch me!
It’s so hard to run with this sombrero on my head!
