You will watch a funny video called “Silly songs with Larry” whose script is placed below, pay attention to the words in bold.

The dance of the cucumber (Bob the Tomato English speech)

Watch the cucumber; see how he moves, like a lion chasing a mouse. Watch the cucumber; Oh, how smooth his motion, like butter on a ... bald monkey. Look at the cucumber. All the vegetables envy their friend, wishing to dance as he.

Dancing cucumber, (x3) Dance, dance, yeah!"

Look at the tomato, isn’t it sad? He can't dance. Poor tomato! He wishes he could dance like the cucumber free and smooth. But he can't ... Okay! Stop the music! What do ya mean I can't dance? I can dance! What about Uncle Louie's polka party? Didn't you see me dancing at Uncle Louie's polka party?"

Larry: "No comprendo."

Bob: "No comprendo? I'll show you 'No comprendo'!"

Jr.: "Mom! Dad! Look over here! Get a picture of me next to the cucumber in authentic Argentinian garb!"

Dad: "Okay, Junior. But we'd better hurry--I think the dwarves have your mother confused with someone else! Say 'Peas!'"

All: "Peas!"

Listen to the cucumber, hear his strong voice like a lion about to eat. Listen to the cucumber, oh how sweet his voicethe breath from his throat is like a chorus of little birdies. Listen to the cucumber all the vegetables envy their friend wishing to sing as he.

Singing cucumber, (x3); sing, sing, yeah!

Listen to the tomato, Isn't it sad? He can't sing. Poor tomato. He wishes he could sing strong and sweet like the cucumber, but he can't ... Can't even ... whistle! All right! That's it Señor! Come over here and let me sing YOU a song!"

Larry: "Adios, amigos!"
