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?" Larry: "No comprendo." Bob: "No
comprendo? I'll show you 'No comprendo'!" Jr.: "Mom! Dad! Look over here! Get a
picture of me next to the cucumber in authentic Argentinian garb!" Dad: "Okay,
Junior. But we'd better hurry--I think the dwarves have your mother confused
with someone else! Say 'Peas!'" All: "Peas!" Larry: "Escuchen el pepino" Bob:
"Listen to the cucumber" Larry: "oigan su voz fuerte" Bob: "hear his strong
voice" Larry: "como un leon" Bob: "like a lion" Larry: "listo a devorar." Bob:

Larry: "que dulce as su canto" Bob: "oh how sweet his voice" Larry: "la voz de
su garganta perece un triar." Bob: "the breath from his throat is like a chorus
of little birdies." Larry: "Escuchen al pepino" Bob: "Listen to the cucumber"

tomato" Larry: "?No es triste?" Bob: "Isn't it sad?" Larry: "El no puede

y ducle como el pepino" Bob: "strong and sweet like the cucumber" Larry: "Pero
no puede ..." Bob: "But he can't ..." Larry: "!Ni siquiera da un silbido!" Bob:
"Can't even ... whistle! All right! That's it Senor! Come over here and let me
sing YOU a song!" Larry: "Adios, amigos!" Narrator: "This has been Silly Songs
With Larry. Tune in next time to hear Larry sing ..." Larry: "Bob is really
angry! I hope he doesn't catch me! It's so hard to run with this sombrero on my
head!"
