8 Balls Of Fur
sung by Little Chrissy (Chris Cerf w/Richard Hunt)
to the tune of Jerry Lee Lewis' "Great Balls Of Fire"
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8!
(8 balls of fur are on the stage and in the background, there are 8's everywhere)
(sung)
They're rolly-poly and they're fuzzy too
They like to boogie even though they're blue
They got the beat
And they got feet
Holy-moly 8 balls of fur
(the balls of fur jump on the stage)
They're just as bushy as a lion's mane
And just as curvy as a drop of rain
They got the soul
For rock 'n' roll
Holy-moly 8 balls of fur
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
See them dancing around
Whoa baby
They're made of fur
And not of wood
They like to boogie like a fuzzball should
(As Chrissy rocks on the piano, the piano starts breaking and the balls of fur start dancing up a storm)
You get some music then you hire a hall
Then throw some hair upon a billiard ball
What have you got
You got a lot
Holy-moly 8 balls of fur
(Chrissy continues playing the breaking piano then the balls of fur really get into the music when the 8's in the background flash by matching colour)
8 little fellas that're made of fuzz
Each of 'em's doing what the other does
They got the soul
For rock 'n' roll
Holy-moly 8 balls of fur
(Spoken when Chrissy finishes playing the song, the piano rips in half)
Hey Matt! Bring in the next piano will ya?
(He looks at the balls of fur who approach him)
Ok fellas, take 8.
