Ah, what a beautiful day! I really should come here more often. It's much nicer to have lunch here in the park where there aren't any waiters! [Grover suddenly comes in, playing a guitar.] Oh no...
Ha-ha, yes, it is I, Grover!
The very waiter I was hoping to get away from!
Uh, excuse me sir, but I am not a waiter.
Well of course you are; you waited on me hundreds of times!
No, but today is my day off, and on my day off, I am a writer and singer of songs!
Of all the benches in all the parks in the world, I had to pick this one!
I looooove making music! And I looooove singing! La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la! And I looooove to find words that sound the same, words that rhyme! Sir, would you care to make a request?
I certainly would.
Oh good!
Go away! And let me have my lunch.
Hmm. Well, that is two requests actually, but I will be glad to oblige. [starts playing and singing]
Go away, take a ride, take a walk!
Do not stay, I have no time to talk!
Yesterday I could pass for some fun,
But today I must ask you to run!
Go away, make it far,
Go away, take the car,
Don't delay, please just scram,
Do not play where I aaaaammm!
Go away, make it far--
THAT'S ENOUGH!!
Oh! Well you are right; that is enough of "Go Away!" And now, a little tune I like to call, "Let Me Have My Lunch!" [starts playing again]
Ugh...
This is the vamp, I love this part! You can tap your foot if you like.
[singing] Let me have my lunch,
Yes I'm eager for a bite!
Let me have my lunnnnch,
'Cause it's such a pretty sight!
There you go, sir! Two beautiful songs with many cute rhymes. Like, um, like "away" and "a-play" and "stay", and uh, "bite", "bite" and "sight", yes, and then there was "walk" and "talk", and, uh, "far" and "car", and "scram" and--
Yes yes yes, that's just swell!
Swell indeed! In fact, all the rhyming has made me quite hungry for my lunch.
Ugh, take mine!
Oh, that is very kind of you, sir. But what about your lunch?
Well, I was thinking of that restaurant where you work!
Oh, but sir, I will not be there!
Ah, exactly! [walks off]
Wait, sir! I shall play for you while you eat! [gives chase]
