VIDEOLA

The stars, the galaxies, the OUTER SPACE -Beautiful stories, beautiful place,

But this is a story of the galaxies in our hearts and minds and the diversities of

THE INNERSPACE.
THE INNERSPACE, where music can reach deep inside,

Where all the good feelings hide: THE INNERSPACE, THE INNERSPACE.

Overture

Once upon the edge of time and in a different place there lived a family that has never known

How nice it feels to see a smiling face or listen to music on your own.

They've never heard a melody, they've never heard of harmony

They've never heard birds sing, they've never heard bells ring.

The ABADABA family wandered too far from home.

This is their story, and you'll see how they roam.

If there's anyone out there who feels the same way sometimes

I hope they'll listen to my story and will read my rhymes.

My name is EEBEEGEEBEE and music is my game

I love to share a pun or two, to sing a song and learn with you

To tell a story with a melody.

With me I have a funny bunch and they love music too

My band is called THE BLASTOFFS and they'd love to play for you.

My assistant’s name is EGGBEG – he’s smart and funny as could be.

He’s a golden egg you know and when he makes his magic flow

He feels the music all around, he understands all kinds of sound

EGGBEG is not an ordinary egg.

VIDEOLA is my spaceship and it travels fast

It can take you anywhere with memories that last.

It can take us back and forth in space and time

You see, everywhere around us there is song and rhyme.

BADGE is my computer, and she's musical, you see

Traveling in space and time is awesome as can be.

She produces SPACEONS every time we play

And that's what we need to travel such a long, long way.

GAFAGGA is the bad guy, don't you know Prince of Noise in AGADDA land so--

He hates music, he's sad and mean

He loves noise but can't be seen.

We have lots of friends in every galaxy, we’ll have lots of fun, just wait and see.

We've got lots of things to learn, you and me

Just listen to my story, listen to my story!

There they were, what a sight to see The ABADABA family!

Empty hearts in AGADDA land where GAFAGGA has the upper hand

The Prince of Noise and under his spell The ABADABA family fell.

They’ve lost the song in their heart, they've forgotten how to be a part of nature all around.

THE ABADABA FAMILY

The ABADABA Family is very much like you and me,

They've been away from home too long

And they've lost their song.

So, won't you please come help and find the MUSIC hidden in their mind

It's all around you, be a part,

Let the MUSIC in your heart!!

Mr. C. and Mrs. D., parents of the family

They made a home away from home and they'll always roam.

BEE-BEE, you're the baby dear and you really have no fear

Any trouble you might make will turn out good for goodness sake.

DEE-DEE, you're a teenage whiz-you will tackle any quiz,

You're the brains and we will grow to love you so!

EBGB, get them out of there-there is no time to spare,

Take them aboard your space and time machine

Take them for a ride, show them what you mean.

Tell them about the INNER SPACE and the joy of music in that secret place.

Tell them if they'd come along you'd help them find their song .

Sure I'd help you find your song

But the first thing you have to do to start anew is to find the message, look for it.

Find the meaning that will fit.

Listen to music, what do you see?

It can help you be all you want to be.

Say what you mean and mean what you say!

EEBEEGEEBEE

EBGB, EBGB, EBGB, EBGB-Say what you mean, mean what you say!

Be like a spring and make the big jump, be a road that bends

Be a car that goes over the bump, keep up with new trends

Be a door that's always opened up be a rock unmoved by fame

Be a sponge and soak it all up, get to know your name

Be the rain that falls at night, be the wind that blows fresh air

Be the clouds-drift out of sight, begin to dare

Be a window, let the light come in be a clock, know your time

Be an open book, say what you mean

Believe in the power of a rhyme

EBGB, EBGB, EBGB, EBGB-Say what you mean, mean what you say!

Be a flower, let your mind grow, be a tree-make your body strong

Be a bird. fly high and low, believe in the power of a song

Be the light, shine in the dark

Be the smile on the old man's face, be the dove on Noah's Ark

Behave with love and grace

Be a river, find the sea, be a star and guide the way

Be like the sun, give energy by what you do or say

Be a rainbow you can reach, be the grassroots through and through

Be the sand on the beach, believe in what you do

EBGB, EBGB, EBGB, EBGB-Say what you mean, mean what you say.

Be a winner, win the race

Be a sport and play the game

Be a waterfall, change your ways, but try to stay the same

Be a boat, drift away

Be the rudder, have direction

Be the sail on a windy day, be a harbor of protection

Be what you really hope to be, be more than you can dream.

Be what this world needs to see, be part of the mainstream.

Be like the ocean, deep and wide, be like a laser beam.

Be like the eagle, soar and glide, behold your self esteem.

EBGB, EBGB, EBGB, EBGB-Say what you mean, mean what you say!

They asked him where he came from.

He told them he's a wiz.

He told them about the WATER PLANET and how beautiful it is.

“I told them about the ocean I told them about the rain.

I told them about the people, about the joy and the pain.

About the plants and animals large and small,

About the wide rivers and the mountains standing tall.

I told them how it feels when the moon glows,

I told them how it feels when the wind blows”.

Lady Wind

Lady Wind - Daughter of Eternity

Sister of Earth and Mother of the Sea

Listen to the Wind - a lady without shadow

She could forever thrive, blowing through the meadow.

Subtle sweet or moody, she could bring a change, she could rearrange

LADY WIND, LADY WIND - changing direction with deadly affection.

Windmills, clouds and ships obeying her lips.

She carries birds and planes, whispers, seeds and flames

With all the lives she claims - Lady Wind, Lady Wind

Tornadoes, storms and waves Listening to her craves

She hides under her wings

Cries of love and secrets of forbidden things.

LADY WIND, LADY WIND

GAFAGGA

I am GAFAGGA the Prince of Noise. I hate music and I hate toys

I live in AGADDA land. I'm sad and mean. I can see you but I cannot be seen

You are my prisoners and I'll never let you go.

I've got your empty hearts in my hand so you know

I'll never let your good feelings show

You'll never like music, you'll never have fun!

You'll never play games while I've got you on the run

I am GAFAGGA, the Prince of Noise

I hate music and I hate toys!

BADGE-the computer was human long ago

She will make you happy if you're feeling low

BADGE and EEBEEGEEBEE will help you find your song,

BADGE and EEBEEGEEBEE will help you all along.

BADGE

I was lonely, lonely, lonely. I was lonely as could be

I was lonely, lonely, lonely. Prisoner inside of me.

I was lonely, lonely, lonely. I was lonely as could be

I was lonely, lonely, lonely, till the music set me free.

I love music! I love you!

Emergency, Emergency, somebody needs us, let's go and see.

It's from Planet Pulse in the RHYTHM Galaxy.

Pete the Beat

Hello, I'm PETE THE BEAT

My job is neat: I keep the beat.

Wait, my pulse is getting weak

I need your help 10 make it to the peak

They must rescue Pete the Beat

He's lonely too and he won't be complete until they help him find his beat

They must take him for a ride with EEBEEGEEBEE as a guide.

'Where is my helper the magic egg? There you go!

EGGBEG show us what's in your name

How do you spell it, what's your game?

Using the musical alphabet will get us started and don't forget

You can always find a melody using the letters A through G”.

EGGBEG (instrumental theme)

The BEE

DAD saw a BEE (DAD saw a BEE)

So DAD caught the BEE (DAD caught the BEE)

And put him in a BAG xxxx (And put him in a BAG xxxx)

I said: B A G x (B A G xx), B A G x (B A G xx)

Then he took 3 Blind Mice x (3 Blind Mice xx), 3 Blind Mice x (3 Blind Mice xx)

And put them in the BAG xxxx (and put them in the BAG xxxx)

I said: B A G x (B A G xx), B A G x (B A G xx)

x = clap your hands

Then he took Hot Cross Buns x (hot cross buns xx) (repeat)

And put them in the BAG xxxx (and put them in the BAG xxxx)

Now, Hot Cross Buns xx (hot cross buns)

Can feed the 3 Blind Mice xx

3 Blind Mice can feed on Hot Cross Buns xx (hot cross buns), oh, yeah!

But the BEE… what happened to the BEE?

The BEE ran away, wow!

MR. C. & MRS. D. (tap dance routine)

Mr. C. & Mrs. D. were just talking to each other yesterday

"I'll tell you what" she said to him, "I'll do your job if you'll do mine, what do you say?"

''I'll go and do what you were doing, why don't you do what I was doing?"

"I'll stay home" she said to him, "It's good for my self esteem!"

He looked at her and smiled, what she just said was wild!

It took him by surprise as he began to realize that

She was right, no need to fight,

It might be good to trade each other's jobs for a little while

"1 think it's fair" he said "but some might ask me why I'm Mr. DAD and you're Mrs. MOM"

''I'll go and do what you were doing, why don't you do what 1 was doing?"

"Does it matter, anyway, as long as we love each other, we'll keep it this way!”

They looked up and smiled, what they just said was wild

It took them by surprise as they began to realize that

They were right, no need to fight,

It might be good to trade each other's jobs for a little while

"I think it’s fair" he said "but some might ask me why I'm Mr. DAD and you're Mrs. MOM

"I'll go and do what you were doing, why don't you do what I was doing?"

Does it matter anyway, as long as we love each other, we'll keep it this way!"

Mr. C. and Mrs. D. were just talking to each other yesterday.

I am GAFAGGA, the Prince of Noise

I hate music and I hate toys

You are still my prisoners, you'll never get away

You'll never have fun, I'll never let you play!

The WATER PLANET sent us a message:

“To escape GAF AGGA we need a passage.

Come with us for a musical ride and let the song in your heart be your guide”.

LET THE SONG IN YOUR HEART

There's a song in a child that's in all of us.

Everyone has a melody hidden deep inside.

There's a song in a child, and we've got to find a way to make this world a better place,

Look in the INNERSPACE, put a smile on children's faces,

LET THE SONG IN YOUR HEART be your guide.

There's a song in a child that's in all of us.

Everyone has a melody hidden deep inside

There's a song in a child, and we've got to find a way to let it grow,

Sing it high or sing it low, sing it fast or sing it slow,

LET THE SONG IN YOUR HEART BE YOUR GUIDE!!

Just like birds that sing away their song,

Like the wind whispering through the trees,

Like the ocean breeze,

We are made up of stardust, we are made up of dreams,

We are made up of hopes for better things.

There's a song in a child that's in all of us.

Everyone has a melody hidden deep inside

There's a song in a child, and we've got to find a way to let it grow,

Sing it high or sing it low, sing it fast or sing it slow,

LET THE SONG IN YOUR HEART BE YOUR GUIDE!!
