The Backyardigans Lyrics - Song Lyrics From Every Episode

The Backyardigans Theme Song

2011-11-22T19:19:00.000-08:00

Spoken:

Hi, I'm Pablo.

My name's Tyrone.

I'm Uniqua.

I'm Tasha.

And my name is Austin.

And we're ...

Sung:

Your backyard friends, the Backyardigans!

Together in the backyard again,

In the place where we belong,

Where we'll probably sing a song,

And we'll maybe dance along.

We've got the whole wide world in our yard to explore.

We always find things we've never seen before.

That's why every day we're back for more

With your friends, the Backyardigans.

I Want to be Number Three

2010-10-28T09:09:00.000-07:00

From "The Two Musketeers"

All my life, how I've yearned for adventure, to do something that's meaningful, too
Sick of spending my time in the palace all alone and with nothing to do
How I wish I were part of a trio, to be third is my dreamiest dream
I would do anything that you ask me to be part of the musketeer team
Number three, number three, it's the number for me, it's the number to be
Number three, number three, it's the third slot for me, I wanna be number three!
Do you think maybe you could include me? Can't you see all the hope in my eyes?
I'm begging you, please don't exclude me, I want so to be one of you guys
Number three, number three, it's the number for me, I'm sure that you'll agree
Number three, number three, we'd be you, you and me, I want to be number three!
We can tell that you really do mean what you sing but a third musketeer just isn't our thing
Number three, number three, you must let me be
We're sorry, but it cannot be!
Number three, number three, I'm you're third, don't you see? I wanna be...
But you cannot be!
I want to be number three!
But you cannot be!
I want to be number three!
But you cannot be!
I want to be number three!
But you cannot be!
I want to be number three!

In the Name of the Empress

2010-10-28T08:46:00.000-07:00

From "The Two Musketeers"

We're guards of her lady, the Empress, the powerful Empress of France
We love our careers locking up musketeers, all in the name of the Empress!
We both do our jobs with precision and blind dedication to rules
What we like to say best is "You're under arrest!", all in the name of the Empress!
In the name of the Empress, the Empress, the Empress! What else can be left to discuss?
In the name of the Empress, the Empress, the Empress!
It gives life some purpose and meaning for us
We say "Arret!", that means "Halt!", we say "Halt!", that means "Stop!"
We say "Stop!" and we know that that's clear, you can run
No, we can't
You can hide
What, in here?
But we'll get you, my dear musketeers
In the name of the Empress, the Empress, the Empress!
It's like being police for a queen
In the name of the Empress, the Empress, the Empress!
It gives you a reason for just being mean!
All in the name of the Empress!
All in the name of the Empress! All in the name of the Empress!

The Secret of Snow

2010-10-27T14:11:00.000-07:00

From "The Secret of Snow"

The secret of snow, the secret of snow, the secret is something I wanted to know
But all of us are playing together
We’re going to be happy, whatever the weather
The sun could be shining
A blizzard could blow
When you’ve got friends, you don’t care about snow
The secret of snow...
Secret of snow...
The secret of snow...
The rest: Secret of snow...
We already know...
Already know...
The secret of snow
Try not to care if it’s snowing, try not to care if it’s not
Better to care for the people right there, care for those great friends you’ve got!
I still like snow, still wish it would fall
But it seems there’s no secret, no secret at all!
I’ll smile at the snowflakes, or sunny blue skies,
I’ll smile cause of you, cause of all you guys!
It’s you guys who give me that wintery glow
When you’ve got good friends, who cares about snow?
The secret of snow...
Secret of snow...
The secret of snow...
Secret of snow...
So now we all know...
Now we all know...
The secret of snow...
Secret of snow...
The secret of snow...
The secret of snow...

I Love Snow

2010-10-27T14:10:00.000-07:00

From "Secret Of Snow"
(tune: Jingle Bells)

I love snow, I love snow, falling from the sky
Love to see a blizzard piling white stuff very high
Oh, I love snow, I love snow, nothing's quite as nice
Snow forts, snowmen, snow angels and snow cats and snow mice
One thing that I’d love, one thing I'd like to know
What’s the secret recipe for starting up the snow, snow, snow, snow!
Not sure how it’s done, on that I’m not quite clear
But if I could just find out how, I’d make it snow all year!
Oh, I love snow, I love snow, piled up cold and sweet
Get that snowplow started up and roaring down the street
Oh, I love snow, I love snow, why can’t it snow now?!
Sure would love to make it snow, I just don’t quite know how!

You’ll Love Snow [Duet]
Come on, cowboy guy, join me on my quest
Heading north sounds good, I’m tired of the west, hey, hey, hey!
It’s a long, long way, but if we move real fast
I’ll get to make a snowman and I’ll eat snowcones at last!
Oh, you’ll love snow, you’ll love snow, it’s the best of all
Come with me and we’ll head north and get that snow to fall
Oh, you’ll love snow, you’ll love snow...

You’ll Love Snow [Trio]
Come on, jungle dude, join us on our trip
Jungle life’s too hot, the snow sounds pretty hip, hip, hip, hip!
We’ve got far to go, but if we really run
We can do some sledding and catch snowflakes on our tongue!
Oh, you’ll love snow, you’ll love snow
Nothing’s quite as great
Let’s go way up north and then make it precipitate
Oh, you’ll love snow, you’ll love snow...

The Masked Retriever

From "The Masked Retriever"

I am a great librarian, I'm full of information
I know every book on every shelf and every stack
They're here for you to borrow, so come on in and take 'em
But you better keep track...of when it's time to bring them back
'Cause sometimes I become The Masked Retriever!
Hunting down books that are missing, lost or late
The Masked Retriever! I am The Masked Retriever!
I find them even if they're hiding in another state!
People think librarians are glamorous and stylish
We always look so elegant, we aim to please
Yes, of course, that's true, but it's not the whole story
'Cause I have a secret side...a side that no one ever sees
Yes, sometimes I become The Masked Retriever!
Hunting down borrowers whose books are overdue
The Masked Retriever! I am The Masked Retriever!
So, don't forget your due date, or I'm coming after you!
That's when I become The Masked Retriever!
Someone's got to do it and that somebody is me
The Masked Retriever! I am The Masked Retriever!
The bravest, boldest hero that you'll probably ever see
The Masked Retriever! I am The Masked Retriever!
The bravest, boldest hero that you'll probably ever see!

The Masked Retriever [Interlude]
For no one can outrun The Masked Retriever!
I'll stay in hot pursuit on my speedy, trusty horse
To Mexico!
The Masked Retriever! I am The Masked Retriever!
No one can outrun me, including you, of course!

I Love the Library

2010-10-26T22:00:00.000-07:00

From "The Masked Retriever"

The library, the library, I love, love, love the library
One thing you should know about me, I love, love, love...the library!
It's a place that's bright and warm
It's a place that's calm and quiet
It's a place where you can read a book and you don't...have to buy it
The chairs are nice and comfy
The lighting is just right, any book you want is here
And if I could...I'd stay all night! I like to read biographies and scientific theory
There's comic books and cookbooks, too, and the history of...Lake Erie
I find a book and sit and read by the light of the tasteful lamp
And if you want to take it home, I'll stamp it with...my trusty stamp
What if I want a particular book that's high up on a shelf?
We've got rolling footstools and you can get it down yourself
And if the book's up really high?
That's no tricky matter, just come and ask the librarian and I'll climb my fancy ladder
The library, the library, I love, love, love the library
You love it just as much as me
We love, love, love...the library!

A Happy, Happy Ending

From "The Masked Retriever"

Now I'm happy and I have this happy look, 'cause now I've got the time to finish up this book
Hey, Don Austin, I'm glad to let you do it, you did the right thing, you came here to renew it
I don't have to run off like a bandit for the border
I don't have to worry that my books are not in order...
Looks like we got us a happy, happy ending
It all went down and nobody's sore
Looks like we got us a happy, happy ending
Better than the ending I was picturing before!
Now I'm smiling and here's what it's all about, when he returns that book, then I can take it out
First did our guarding, but now, we're happy guards, 'cause now that things are settled, our job is not so hard
I'm so pleased that soon that book will be back in the stacks
We're so pleased that now we can just hang out and relax...
Looks like we got us a happy, happy ending
It all worked out and everybody won
Looks like we got us a happy, happy ending
The best kind of ending when adventures are done!

Pablo:

You've taken lots of photos but do you really know
How to shoot the kind of shot that makes them all say "Whoa!"
Cause that's the kind of picture our paper need rights now, you think that you can get one, kid?
Tasha:

You betcha, bub, and how! For the front page, front page, front page news
I'll take a perfect picture to give us rave reviews
Pablo:

Well, bring me back a couple, kid, and that way I can choose
For the front page, front page, front page news!
Tasha:

I've snapped a lot of snapshots for the paper's other pages
Of puppies and presidents and actors up on stages
Pablo:

Well, that's all fine and dandy, but you haven't made the grade
Until you shoot a shot so hot that it can be displayed
On the front page, front page, front page news! It's gotta be a grabber, no pretty sunset blues
Tasha:

I'm gonna click a winner, no way that I can lose

Bug Girl

From "Front Page News"

(Uniqua and Tasha)

Uniqua:

I'm a strong superhero with the powers of a bug
Tasha:

Though a bug isn't something that the people like to hug
Uniqua:

But you might wanna hug me when I save the world from evil
I float like a butterfly and sting like a weevil
Bug Girl, Bug Girl, here to save the day! Here to save the day the wing-ed insect way!
Tasha:

Goodness conquers badness and crime doesn't pay
Uniqua:

Bug Girl, Bug Girl, here to save the day!
I fly through the air, I dig through the dirt, I've got a hard shell so I never get hurt
I will move that robot, have no fear, I'll fly around his head and buzz in his ear
Tasha:

Bug Girl, Bug Girl, here to save the day! Here to save the day the wing-ed insect way!
Uniqua:

You can't swat a hero, like I always say
Both:

Bug Girl, Bug Girl, here to save the day!

Get a good picture of my victory, okay?

I Got a Secret Identity

2010-10-25T15:52:00.000-07:00

From "Front Page News"

(Tasha Solo)

I'm usually just a photographer snappin' pictures for the news
I try to take some good shots that the newspaper can use
But if I hear some kind of trouble or see it with my eyes
I spin and snap and just like that...I change my whole disguise
I got a secret identity, it's crazy but it's true
Yeah, I got a secret identity and nobody knows but you...nobody knows but you...
When I'm a superhero, I run with super speed
I zip and zoom around the town and rescue those in need
And when I am all finished, I strike this nifty pose
I spin and snap and just like that...I'm in my normal clothes
I got a secret identity, it's crazy but it's true
Yeah, I got a secret identity and nobody knows but you...nobody knows but you...

The Gods of Mount Olympus

2010-10-25T06:53:00.000-07:00

From "Match on Mt. Olympus"

Come on, let's go above the clouds to a place that's way up high
Where ancient gods control the world from their thrones up in the sky
I'm not sure that we'll be welcome
Aw, come on, don't be a wimpus
Wimpus?
Come on with me and we'll go see...the gods of Mount Olympus
Up above on Mount Olympus is a world all soft and white
Where we'll ask the gods to stop the rain and be back before tonight
I agree it would be better if the sun were out again
So may I suggest an heroic quest
A heroic task
Let's go and ask the gods of Mount Olympus
We should take with us an offering, something that might appease
Cause the gods are often grumpy and they can be hard to please
We could teach them basketball!
Now you're talkin'!
Count me in, my dear companion, you don't have to ask me twice
Let's go and find this Tasha, she might even be nice
It'll be a great adventure playing basketball in the sky
So come on, let's go
Together we'll go
Where the rain don't fall
And the wind don't blow
And they can't say no to some guys from below the clouds of Mount Olympus!
So come with me and we'll go and see the gods of Mount Olympus!
