Dear Monks is a song from the VeggieTales episode, Lyle the Kindly Viking.
Lyle sings this song to his fellow Monks that he can share only a little stuff, due to his friends taking the Monks' things away. Despite this, the Monks thank Lyle for sharing and being friends with them. The song was later reprised in the finale along with a reprise My Share.
Lyrics[]
Lyle: Dear Monks, Dear Monks, what can I say?
My friends have taken your things away.
Dear Monks, Dear Monks, what can I do?
I've come to bring some back to you.
I cannot make it all come back, for they are bigger and older
but I'll share what I have in my little sack, and a few of my own potholders!
Pa Grape: Aye... It's the thought that counts.
Dear little Viking boy...
Lyle: You can call me Lyle
Pa: Oh, okay. (clears throat)
Dear Lyle, Dear Lyle, we like your style!
For we were all despairing,
but you rowed your boat for plenty a mile
to practice an act of sharing
Boys?
Pea Monks: Thank you, thank you, Viking friend, no longer are we blue!
Rest assured that we intend to someday soon, help you.
