Lyrics
Scallions and Frankencelery: A helping hand (2x)
Do you need a helping hand?
If the job's too big
If you're in a jam
You'll need a helping hand
A helping hand (2x)
Do you need a helping hand?
If the job's too big
If you're in a jam
You'll need a helping hand
Scallion #1: One day, a red tomato got a great big job to do
Scallion #2: He asked his friend the cucumber to help him see it through
Scallion #3: Now cucumbers are silly and sometimes get confused
Frankencelery: What did he say? Did it go okay?
Scallions and Frankencelery: We'll leave that up to you
(Bob rings the doorbell)
Bob: Hey Larry, can you help us?
This here's my neighbor Joe
His mom is at the doctor
She broke her big left toe
She asked if I could help her finish up a couple chores
But I can't do them all myself
I need Joe's help and yours
(Switches back to the Scallions and Frankencelery)
Scallions and Frankencelery: A helping hand (2x)
Bob needs a helping hand
The job's too big, he's in a jam
Bob needs a helping hand
A helping hand (2x)
He needs a helping hand
Scallion #2: The job's too big
Scallion #3: He's in a jam
Scallions and Frankencelery: He needs a helping hand
(cuts to Bob, Joe and Larry, who is now Larry-Boy)
Larry-Boy: Sure, Bob!
I'd love to be a helper
This suit helps me fight crime
I couldn't be more willing
I do it all the time
Joe: And I can be his sidekick pal
I'm Mighty Teeny-Joe
The crooks don't stand a a chance against my teeny tiny blow
(Switches back to the Scallions and Frankencelery)
Scallions and Frankencelery: A helping hand (2x)
Bob needs a helping hand
Frankencelery: Helpy, help help
Scallion #1: But we've got a hunch
That's a bit too much
He just needs a helping hand
Scallions and Frankencelery: A helping hand (2x)
He needs a helping hand
Scallion #2: He likes your zeal
But it's no big deal
Scallions and Frankencelery: He just needs a helping hand
(switches to Bob)
Bob: Umm, I had something else in mind...
See, I can rake the leaves
While Larry cleans the shed
And Joe can fold the laundry, feed the dog, and make his bed
Then I will vacuum all the rugs, while Joe is busy dusting
And Larry, you can mop the floor before it gets disgusting
(Switches to Frankencelery)
Frankencelery: I wonder what the cucumber's gonna do.
(switches to Larry-Boy)
Larry-Boy: Umm, I was thinking..
That I can use my chopsticks to eat yogurt by the plateful
We'll teach the spoon-less people
They'll be forever grateful
And Mighty Teeny-Joe loves helping any way he can
He'll help the fork-less people eat gazpacho from a pan
(Switches to back Frankencelery)
Frankencelery: That's pretty much what we figured...
(switches to Bob, Larry-Boy, and Joe)
Bob: Well, that's nice, Larry. But don't you see...
That you can be a helper by sweeping up the floors
You don't need super powers to oil squeaky doors
Be a super helper, pile papers in a stack
There's lots of stuff that we can do before Joe's mom gets back
(Switches back to the Scallions and Frankencelery)
Scallions and Frankencelery: Whoa!
A helping hand (2x)
Bob needs a helping hand
Scallion #1: He's been a little dim
Scallion #2: Maybe it's sinking in?
Will Larry
Scallions and Frankencelery: ...lend a helping hand?
(switches to Bob, Larry-Boy, and Joe)
Larry-Boy: You know, Bob? You're right.
I feared my mind was focused on some bigger, grander things
Like using super suction ears or super teeny wings
But now I know the love we show is equally as grand
To be God's superhero, simply lend a helping hand
(Switches to scallions and Frankencelery)
Frankencelery: Yay, he got it!
Scallions and Frankencelery: A helping hand (2x)
Will you lend a helping hand?
(Bob, Larry-Boy, and Joe start singing with them)
All: When the job's too big, someone's in a jam
Always lend a helping hand
Larry-Boy, Joe, and Scallion #2: Always lend
Bob, Frankencelery, Scallions #1 and #3: lend
Larry-Boy, Joe, and Scallion #2: a
Bob, Frankencelery, Scallions #1 and #3: a
Larry-Boy, Joe, and Scallion #2: help
Bob, Frankencelery, Scallions #1 and #3: help
Larry-Boy, Joe, and Scallion #3: ing
Bob, Frankencelery, Scallions #1 and #3: ing
All: Hand
Bob: But how tomatoes break their toes?
I'll never understand
