La La La La Lemon

Ed:

Hello Steve.

Steve:

Oh. Hi Ed. Someone left me this "L" and I don't know what to do with it.

Ed:

Why don't you put it right in the middle of your forehead?

Steve:

Yeah, thanks.

Ed:

No, I'm just kidding, it's not my "L." Um, I was thinking though,
you could sing like a "La La La" song with the letter "L."

Steve:

[Music starts.]
Yeah, that sounds great.

Ed:

No, I'm serious. You could sing some "La La La's" and then some
pretty words that start with "La." You'd have a nice little song there.

Steve:

Oh you mean like "La La La?"

Ed:

No, come on, give it a try.

Steve:

La, la, la, la... lemon
La, la, la, la, light bulb

Ed:

I guess.

Steve:

La, la, la, la, lamp post This is fun.
La, la, la, la, lump in my oatmeal

Ed:

I think we're almost there. I just, I was thinking more sort of,
you know, loverly lilting words that start with "L." Like this...
La, la, la, la, laughter

Steve:

Uh-ha.

Ed:

La, la, la, la, lullaby

Steve:

I see.

Ed:

La, la, la, la, lollypop

Steve:

Ahhhhhh!

Ed:

La, la, la, la, lights in the sky.

Steve:

I got one. You are going to love this one!

Ed:

I love it already. Let's hear it.

Steve:

Here we go...
La, la, la, LINOLEUM!

Ed:

Ahhh,
Listen to me
'Cause, "L" is such a lovely letter
For words like "licorice" and "lace"
The letter "L" lights up your face
So why not la, la, la, la, laaaaaaaaaaaaah...

Steve:

La, la, la, la, laaaaaaah...

Both:

...with me!

[Fading...]
La, la, la, la, lemon
La, la, la, la, light bulb
La, la, la, la, lamp post
La, la, la, la, lump in my oatmeal
