Professor Iris in Animal Jazz Club

Season #2 Episode #17

---

Announcer:
And Now, Here's Professor Iris will sing a operatic way.

PROFESSOR IRIS:

La donna è mobile

Qual piuma al vento

Muta d'accento

E di pensiero

(crowd laughing)

Sempre un amabile

Leggiadro viso

In pianto e riso

È menzognero.......

(singing)

MAN:

And Stay Out!!

(jazz with fingersnaps)

Cool Cat:

And a-one and a-two.

Linny:

Check it out, Wonder Pets.

Cool Cat:

Scat diddly-adda.

Scat dit dat.

I'm a Cool Cat and I love to sing scat.

(purrs)

Linny:

The cat sings jazz music, with made-up words that sound like scat and doo-dat.

Tuck:

Like zippity-zat?

Ming-Ming:

Or piddle-dee-pat?

Linny:

You're right about that.

But look now, Wonder Pets.

Hip Hippo:

Hey-boppa, I-boppa.

Who-boppa?

He-bop.

I'm a Hip Hippo and I sing bebop.

Linny:

The hippo sings jazz too, but a different kind, with words that sound like bebop and hebop.

Tuck:

Or snee-bop?

Ming-Ming:

Tee-hee-bop?

Linny:

You're right as can be-bop.

Tuck:

But as the hippo tries to sing his way, the cat keeps trying to sing her way.

Cool Cat:

I gotta sing scat-dat, I just gotta.

Hip Hippo:

I got to bebop.

A-deebop a lot-a.

Cool Cat:

Da-da-dee-dop.

Hip Hippo:

Mebop.

Cool Cat:

Ra-dada-ta-da.

Hip Hippo:

Rebop.

Linny:

They both want to sing their own ways.

Ming-Ming:

At the same time.

Tuck:

They're getting really mad at each other.

Ming-Ming:

We've got to help them.

Linny:

And a-one and a-two...

Tuck:

A cat and a hippo who both want to sing.

Ming-Ming:

This is serious.

Tuck:

We have to help them.

Linny:

Let's save the singers.

Both:

Let's save the singers.

All:

Let's save the singers.

Whee!

Linny:

Zoo-be-zoo.

Tuck:

Shoo-be-doo.

Ming-Ming:

Toodle-oo.

Linny:

Tuck:

I feel like singing the teamwork song a different way today.

Linny:

Go for it, guys.

Tuck:

Ming-Ming:

Weema deema teama-work.

Tuck:

I want to take the marble to the Flyboat.

Ming-Ming:

I want to take the marble to the Flyboat.

Linny:

You two need to take turns.

Both:

Take turns?

Linny:

Take turns.

All:

Take turns.

Linny:

First you, then you.

And a-one and a-two...

Tuck:

Tuck:

Taking turns was fun.

Linny:

And the Flyboat is done.

All:

Ooh.

Ming-Ming:

Weema-deema-doo.

Linny:

Come on, Wonder Pets.

We've got some singing animals to save.

Ming-Ming:

We are coming to save you, Cool Cat and Hip Hippo.

All:

Whee!

Wonder Pets, Wonder Pets.

We're on our way.

To help the singing animals and save the day.

Ming-Ming:

We're not too big.

Tuck:

And we're not too tough.

All:

But when we work together, we've got the right stuff.

Go, Wonder Pets!

Yay!

Linny:

That's Greenwich Village, in New York City.

Lots of really creative people live there.

All:

Ooh.

Cool Cat:

Skaddly-at.

Hip Hippo:

Bebop.

Tuck:

I hear the Cool Cat and the Hip Hippo.

Linny:

Let's land, Wonder Pets.

All:

Whee!

Yay!

Linny:

It's an animal jazz club.

Tuck:

Where animals from all over come to sing and play.

Ming-Ming:

Or to sing and push.

Cool Cat:

Scat daddlee adda step aside.

Hip Hippo:

Shoo-bop.

You-hop away and hide.

You tire me out, cat.

Where's my hanky?

Cool Cat:

I need some milk.

Tuck:

Hey, Cool Cat and Hip Hippo.

Hip Hippo:

Yo, Wonder Pets, what's popping?

Both:

Huh?

Linny:

"What's popping?" is jazz talk for, "What have you been up to lately?".

Ming-Ming:

Oh.

I have been saving animals, using teamwork, and eating celery.

What is popping for you?

Cool Cat:

I came to sing scat.

But that hippo keeps bebopping in my space.

Hip Hippo:

I came to sing bebop.

But the cat's scatting all over the place.

Linny:

So you both came to the jazz club to sing, but you keep getting in each other's way.

Both:

Yeah.

Ming-Ming:

That is a problem.

Tuck:

Hey, I have an idea.

There are two stages.

Why don't you each stand on a different stage?

Hip Hippo:

That's a fine plan, man.

Tuck:

Cool Cat, you stand here.

Cool Cat:

The cat can do that.

Ming-Ming:

Hip Hippo, you stand here.

Hip Hippo:

I'm hip to this trip.

Linny:

Now you can both sing at the same time without bothering each other.

Cool Cat:

Scat diddle-adda.

Scat doo dat.

I'm a Cool Cat and I love to sing scat.

Hip Hippo:

Hey-pop I-bop.

Who-bop he-bop.

I'm a Hip Hippo and I sing bebop.

Linny:

It doesn't sound good when they sing at the same time, does it, Wonder Pets?

Cool Cat:

He makes this cat sound uncool.

Hip Hippo:

She makes my bebop into be-slop.

Tuck:

I guess having them sing on different stages didn't work.

Linny:

Look, Wonder Pets.

Customers.

Baby Armadillo:

I can't wait to hear some real jazz, pa.

Papa Armadillo:

You will, boy.

You will.

All:

We want jazz.

We want jazz.

Tuck:

They've come from Texas to hear you guys.

Ming-Ming:

Texas?

This is serious.

Linny:

I wish you two could find a way to make music together.

Tuck:

Remember how Ming-Ming and I sang our teamwork song in the classroom?

Linny:

You took turns.

And the Cool Cat and Hip Hippo should take turns too.

Cool Cat:

Take what?

Hip Hippo:

Turn who?

Linny:

Take turns.
