A Joking Sumo I is the second song from the VeggieTales episode Sumo of the Opera. It is sung by the Italian Scallion (Larry the Cucumber).
Lyrics
A Joking Sumo, I
a lad of quips and wisecracks
who throws his custard pies back
where whoopee cushions lie.
My shenanigans are long
through every antic ranging.
And to your humors changing,
I sing my silly sooooo-OOOOOOOONG.
(nose from mask inflates)
I sing my silly...
(pop!)
...soonnnggg.
