"The Gated Community"

Narrator: And now it's time for Silly Songs with Larry, the part of the show where Larry comes out and sings a Silly Song.


Some off-screen singer: There once was a boy
Who lived in a house
And the house sat under a tree
By the tree ran a fence that stretched far and wide
Round the gated community

Larry: Can I have my ball?
Can you get my ball?
I kicked it into the tree
And my ball bounced up
And my ball dropped in
To the Gated Community

Community folk: Oh! The Gated Community
Is where we like to be
Everything's so lovely
Oh, our hearts are filled with glee
And when you come to visit
You can stand outside and see
What a lovely bunch we are
In our gated unity!

Larry: Um...
Can I have my ball?
Can you get my ball?
I kicked it into the tree
And my ball bounced up
And my ball dropped in
To the Gated Community

Community folk: Oh! The Gated Community
Is where we like to be
Our clothes are never dirty
And the lawns are always green
And when you come to visit
You can stand outside and see
What a tidy bunch we are
In our gated unity!
The Gated Community
We think you will agree
Is pleasantly devoid
Of unsightly stray debris

Garbage man: Free, free of debris!

Community folk: The Gated Community
Is where we'll always be
Our smiles are white
Cause we're inside
In comfy custody
And when you come to visit
You can stand outside and see...

Community fellow (to garbage man): Come on, you stand outside...

Community folks: What a smiling bunch we are
In our gated unity!

Larry: Can I have my ball?
Can you get my ball?

Community folks: Oh, the Gated Community
Is where we like to be

Larry: I kicked it into the tree

Community folks: Our lives are made perfect
By a hefty entrance fee

Larry: And my ball bounced up
And my ball dropped in

Community folk: And when you come to visit
You can stand outside and see

Larry: To the gated commu--

Community folk: What a lovely bunch we are

Larry: To the gated commu--

Community folk: What a happy bunch we are

Folks and Larry: To the Gated Community!

Narrator: This has been Silly Songs with Larry.

Community fellow: Oh, look! A ball!
