Pablo:
These muffins may be small, but these heroes are mighty!
Tyrone:
This goblin that can grab, and this fairy that's flighty.
Uniqua:
And let us not forget this big dragon that's swell!
Tyrone:
The one that we have known since his days in a shell!
Pablo:
They all had a quest, and it sure was a tough one.
Uniqua:
But they got it done, so it's time for a muffin!

All: Mini-muffins for major heroes! They went on a quest and accomplished their goals. Mini-muffins for major heroes! Small baked goods for big great souls!

Austin:
This challenge sure was tough, but we knew we could do it.
Tasha:
That's not quite true, but at least we got through it!
Austin:
Okay, we were scared, yeah. I guess we were frightened.
Tasha:
But then we stayed calm when the tensions were heightened!
Pablo:
They came to the cave and faced off the dragon.
Uniqua:
They came out to prevail, and that's why they're braggin'!

All: Mini-muffins for major heroes! They went on a quest and accomplished their goals. Mini-muffins for major heroes! Small baked goods for great big souls!

Austin:
I've always prefered a smaller muffin. Something about them just feels so right!
Tasha:
It just takes two fingers to hold it, and you can down it in just one bite! I sure would like to share this muffin with you, but half a mini-muffin would be tough.
Austin:
Don't worry, my dear. I've got some others right here!
Tasha and Austin:
Oh, thank goodness we made enough!

All:
Mini-muffins for major heroes! Muffins are great, and better than rolls! Mini-muffins for major heroes! Small baked goods for big great souls!

(Pablo, Tyrone, and Uniqua)

Pablo:
Here we are, we're in a cave, and we're stuck in the cave that we're in.
Tyrone:
Yes, it's true, and I agree with you, and for hours it's where we've been.
Uniqua:
We can't get out, and we may not leave, could be that we have to stay!

All:
'Cause the not-so-nice, big dragon will not let us get away! Oh, we're stuck in a cave, we're trapped in a cave, we're so bored, we napped in a cave. We need to be saved by somebody brave. 'Cause we're stuck. Yeah, we're stuck in a cave.

Pablo:
Caves are dark, and kind of dull, and there isn't that much to do.
Tyrone:
We just sit and twiddle our thumbs, and our toes? We twiddle them too.
Uniqua:
There's not much to twiddle, perhaps? We'll play some tic-tac-toe.
Pablo:
I hope that soon we're rescued, because I sort of have to..."go".
Uniqua and Tyrone:
Uh-oh!

All:
Oh, we're stuck in a cave, we're trapped in a cave, we're so bored, we napped in a cave. We need to be saved by somebody brave. 'Cause we're stuck. Yeah, we're stuck in a cave.

Uniqua:
Charades, anyone?

Tyrone:
Sure!

Pablo:
Okay.

Tyrone:
You're a bird!

Pablo:
You're a cat!

Tyrone:
You're a mouse!

Pablo:
You're a hat!

Tyrone:
You're strong, you're tough, you're brave?

Pablo:
You're a drum!

Tyrone:
You're a car!

Pablo:
You're the moon!

Tyrone:
You're a star!

Uniqua:
No! I'm stuck in a cave!

Tyrone and Pablo:
Oh...

All:
Oh, we're stuck in a cave, we're trapped in a cave, we're so bored, we napped in a cave. We need to be saved by somebody brave. 'Cause we're stuck. Yeah, we're stuck in a cave.

We're Not Knights

Austin:
Knights are tough, and knights are brave.
Tasha:
Knights have shields that they can heave.
Austin:
Knights aren't scared and knights don't fuss.
Tasha:
So if you want a knight...
Austin and Tasha:
Don't call us!

Tasha:
There are many things that I can do: cast a spell with a tweedily-doo.
Austin:
Fly around in a loopty-loop.
Tasha:
Wave my wand and say "boo-hoo!".

Austin:
There are many things that I have done: grab some treasure just for fun.
Tasha:
Snatch some sneakers for a run.
Austin:
Swipe some juice and a cinnamon bun!

Tasha:
But when it comes to daring adventures, who knows where to begin?
Austin:
When it comes to heroic rescues...
Tasha:
Our résumés are quite thin!

Both: We're not knights. That's right! We're not knights. That's right! We've got nerves and limitations, fears and frights. We're not knights! We're not knights. That's right.

Austin:
There are many things I will not do: try to swipe a giant shoe.
Tasha:
Race a shark in a small canoe.
Austin:
Wash a troll's hair with shampoo.

Tasha:
There are many things I will not try: look an ogres in the eye.
Austin:
Wearing sweaters in July.
Tasha:
Liverwurst on marble rye!

Austin:
And when it's time for a daring challenge, we're not a qualifying team.
Tasha:
When it comes to not-so-nice dragons, we want to...

Both:
Run and scream! We're not knights. That's right! We're not knights. That's right!

We've got nerves and limitations, fears and frights. We're not knights! We're not knights. That's right.

A Wonderful Day for Tea

Austin:
Earlier this morning, I was sitting by myself.
I heard my cell phone ring, so I grabbed it from the shelf.
I said "Hello! Who is it?" and the other voice said "Hi!".
Well, the other voice was Pablo, that royal kingly guy!
Tasha:
King Pablo! King Pablo! He really called today.
Tell me, my good goblin, oh, what ever did he say?
Austin:
"Greetings, Grabbing Goblin." the good king said to me.
"I hope that you're not busy, 'cause I'd like you here for tea."

Both:
It's a...wonderful day for tea, for tea! It's a wonderful day for tea!
Mugs to sip our beverages, and good friends there to see!
Some itty-bitty muffins, each with a blueberry!
It's a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful day for tea!

Tasha:
Later this same morning, I was flying down the trees,
Saying hi to butterflies and greeting all the bees.
That's when I heard a voice call out, a voice I knew so well.
It was my friend, the goblin, and he had some news to tell.
Austin:
Oh, fairy! Oh, fairy! I hope you have a thirst.
The king is having tea time, and I had to tell you first.
Tasha:
So I got my magic wand out and my muffin recipe.
And now we're off to see our friends on a wonderful day for tea.

Both:
It's a...wonderful day for tea, for tea! It's a wonderful day for tea!
Mugs to sip our beverages, and good friends there to see!

Both:
It's a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful day for tea!
