Lyrics: Mr. Wise Old Owl

(Spoken by Barely-Crumb)

Mr. Wise Old Owl
Can I join you in the fun?
The moon is shining brightly
The night has just begun

WHOOO?

Me. Barely Crumb. That’s who!
I’m talking to you… That’s who!

Mr. Wise Old Owl
You remember me
I’m in The One & Only
All the time, you see

WHOOO?

Me. Barely Crumb. That’s who!
I’m talking to you… That’s who!

Mr. Wise Old Owl
Sitting in the tree
Why’d ya keep hooting
“Whoooooo” at me?

WHOOO?

Me. Barely Crumb. That’s who!
I’m talking to you… That’s who!

I’m saying, “Me”
You keep saying, “Whooo”
Don’t ya have anything
Better to do?

WHOOO?

Me. Barely Crumb. That’s who!
I’m talking to you… That’s who!

You’re saying, “Whooo”
I’m saying, “Me”
It’s Barely Crumb here
Can’t you see?

WHOOO?

Me. Barely Crumb. That’s who!
I ’m talking to you… That’s who!

I’m down here
You’re up in the sky
Maybe you should ask
Not “Whooo” but “Why”

WHOOO?

Me. Barely Crumb. That’s who!
I’m talking to you… That’s who!

Hey, Mr. Owl
This has been fun
But if you won’t talk
Then I’m gonna run

WHY?

What d’you say?
Mr. Owl,
did you say something
besides “Who?”
