The name's Benny!"

Lyrics to 14 Carrot Love
Polly Darton: Oh, hi there. My name is Polly Darton, and I'd like
to sing a song for you, but I can't. The song I'd like to sing's
called, "14 Carrot Love", but as you can see, I only have
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13
carrots. Mm-hmm.
How can I sing a song about 14 carrot love, when I only have 13
carrots?
Benny: Uh-oh.
Polly Darton: Look! Did you see that bunny with that carrot?
I wonder if he'd let me borrow it. Here bunny, bunny,
bunny!
Benny: Hey! Don't call me Bunny! The name is Benny!
Polly Darton: Well, I'm sorry, Benny. I was wondering if I could
borrow that carrot there.
Benny: No! No way, no chance! No how! This is my
carrot, and I gotta get downtown, so goodbye!
Polly Darton: Oh please? You have one carrot and I have 13
carrots. If I add your carrot and my 13, I'll have 1, 2...
Benny: Yeah yeah yeah...
Polly Darton: ...3, 4...
Benny: Come on, I gotta get downtown!
Polly Darton: ...5, 6, 7, 8...
Benny: Yeah yeah yeah...
Polly Darton: ...9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 carrots.
Benny: 14, yeah.
Polly Darton: And I can sing my song.
Benny: No, no way, forget it!
Polly Darton: Aw, please? Don't do it for me - do it for the
little children! Please?
Benny: Oh, all right all right all right. You can borrow
my carrot. But you have to give it back. And you can't,
I say you can't nibble on it, okay?
Polly Darton: Okay, okay. Thank you! Thank you, you -
Benny: Yeah yeah yeah...
Polly Darton: ...wonderful little bunny, you!
Benny: Don't call me Bunny! The name is BENNY!!!
Polly Darton: These carrots from the garden
Are gathered as you see
In one great big bunch
As pretty as can be
Benny: Yeah...
Polly Darton: The bunch has 13 carrots
But it only takes a shove
To add another carrot
And get 14 carrot love!
14 carrot love!
14 carrot love!
That is what we got here -
14 carrot love!
It's better than some flowers
Or candy on a ring
And it's all 'cause of you-ou
I have this song to sing
Together: 14 carrot love!
14 carrot love!
That's what we got here -
14 carrot love!
Benny: 14 carrot love! 14 carrot love!
Polly Darton: Hey hey! Benny! Song's over,
Benny!
Benny: That's what we've got here! 14 ca-
Oh yeah yeah yeah, right right, well I gotta go anyway. Yeah
yeah, I'm just gonna take my carrot here, and get outta here ...
Polly Darton: Hey, hey you can have all those carrots, Benny.
Just my way of sayin' thank you.
Benny: Oh! Oh gee, well, um ... but I don't know
what to say!
Polly Darton: Aw, you know he really is a sweet little bunny!
Benny:Don't call me Bunny! The name is Benny!
