Can't Smile without Ewe

Can't Smile Without Ewe is the second song from the VeggieTales episode The Little Drummer Boy. It is sung by Aaron.

Lyrics

Aaron (Junior): People took all that I had.

When they nabbed my mom and dad,

I'll spend the rest of my days just feelin' sad

with the only friends I'll ever have.

(music switches to upbeat tempo)

Aaron: I can't smile without ewe

without my donkey or camel too.

Man, my grinnin' days.

Yeah, they all through.

Oh, I can't smile without ewe.

Now Baa Baa's loyalty don't bend

and Samson's with me to the end

on Joshua I can depend.

If you ain't got fur, you ain't my friend.

Oh, we'd rather be left all alone.

The empty desert is our home.

My four legged friends and I to roam.

I can't smile without ewe

without my donkey or camel too.

Man, my grinnin' days.

Yeah, they all through.

Oh, I can't smile without ewe.

My four legged friends and I to roam.

(Bernie interrupts)

Bernie (Jimmy): Now let me hear that big trombone!

(trombone solo)

Aaron: If you're expecting me to smile,

you'll be standing here awhile.

I'm tellin' you that ain't my style.

Cuz I can't smile without ewe.

I can't smile without ewe

without my donkey or camel too.

Man, my grinnin' days.

Yeah, they all through.

Oh, I can't smile without ewe (3x; the third time is quieter)

Oh, Yeah!

This song replaced "Why Can't the Animals Smile?" from the original special. According to Brian Roberts, the reason being is because is more a technical issue they couldn't handle, such as turning the animals into other animals.
On O Holy Night: Journey of a Little Drummer Boy, the instrumental breaks are slightly longer.
