Flowers depend on sunshine

Each thing depends on something,
And I depend on you.

You're to blame, honey

Or I could be King,
I could be almost any old thing,
It all depends on you.

Honey, it all depends on you!

But, if you'll let me alone for just three or four minutes, I've got seven or eight friends from right over at that table from Taconic Highway—hah!—and some folks from Peoria, and there's the mayor here from Racine, Wisconsin, sitting right over there! Don't laugh, honestly, he's a very nice fellow.

Once upon a time, there were two great big goblins, a Papa Goblin and a Mama Goblin. And a little girl, every day, had to go and bring her daddy's lunch. Life would be good.
>/b
Well, one day, Papa Goblin saw this little girl and said to himself, "I want her in my house." But, the little girl wasn't afraid, because every day, the fairy prince used to come in the woods, and he would protect her.

Oh, all of a sudden, as the little girl was going through the woods, what do you think happened? The fairy prince came along, and he took his sword, and he killed the big old goblin. Naturally... Big old goblin.}}
