(spoken)
Herry: Hi, Trisha.
Trisha: Hi, Herry.
Herry: Oh, nice moon, huh?
Trisha: Sure is, but it's making me kinda sad. It just reminds how far away my friend is. I really, really miss him.
Herry: Aww, cheer up, Trisha. Where is your friend?
Trisha: Far away, very far.
Herry: Like China? (music starts)
Trisha: Farther.
Herry: Gee, like New Jersey.
Trisha: Even farther.
Herry: Are you going to sing a song about it, Trisha? Is that why the music's starting to play?
Trisha: I guess so, maybe that'll make me feel better.
Herry: Yeah!
(sung)
Trisha: If he lived right down the street, I'd get to go out and meet him at the mall
Herry: But he's far away
Trisha: If he lived oceans away, I'd still pick up my phone and call
Herry: Golly, how far is he?
Trisha: I'm talkin' far. I'm talkin' far, far, far ...
Past where you can plane or train or drive in a car
A really really really big number of miles away
Let's just say
I'm talkin' far ...
(spoken)
Baby Bear: Hi, Herry, hi, Trisha.
Trisha and Herry: Hi.
Baby Bear: Hey, Trisha, is something wrong? You look so sad.
(sung)
Trisha: Since my friend went away, can't even turn on a tiny smile
Herry and Baby Bear: She feels bad
Trisha: We used to laugh everyday
I haven't laughed in a real long while
Herry and Baby Bear: Gee, how sad are you?
Trisha: I'm talkin' sad
I'm talkin' sad, sad, sad
Sadder than the saddest lonely I've ever had
A really really really down low kind of shade of blue
I tell you -
I'm talkin' sad
(spoken)
Grover: Hello, Baby Bear. Greetings, Herry, Trisha.
Trisha: Hello.
Grover: Ah, what a lovely moon, I really did not want to miss seeing it, you know.
All: Miss? Did you say miss?
Grover: Oh, yes, I really love it.
All: Love? Did you say love?
(sung)
Trisha: I can't bear bein' apart, he used to call me his favorite girl
Herry, Baby Bear and Grover: She's in love
Trisha: He blasted into my heart and then he blasted right out of this world
Herry, Baby Bear and Grover: How much do you love him?
Trisha: I'm talkin' love
I'm talkin' love, love, love
Sweeter than the sweetest feeling you can think of
A really really really way up kinda flying high
Oh my my
I'm talkin' love
I'm talkin' love
I'm talkin' far
Herry, Baby Bear & Grover: She's talkin' far
Trisha: I'm talkin' sad
Herry, Baby Bear & Grover: She's talkin' sad
Trisha: I'm talkin' love!
Herry, Baby Bear & Grover: She's talkin' love!
(spoken)
Yip Yip Martian: Oh, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip.
Trisha: There you are! I've been looking everywhere for you, I'm so happy to see you!
Yip Yip Martian: Trisha, Trisha, Trisha.
Trisha: Where have you been?
Yip Yip Martian: Bad traffic, bad traffic.
Trisha: Let's go, come on.
Yip Yip Martian: Yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip.
Trisha: Yip, yip, yip, yip.
Yip Yip Martian: Oh yip, yip, yip, yip.
Herry: Some guys have all the luck.
