00:30Once upon a time, a springtime, as a matter of fact, a night time, a certain flock of
00:41sheep had a visit from old Mr. Stork.
00:52A rough trip.
00:53Well here we are, pardon me, I mean here we are now, please don't crowd each other, pick
01:08out the ewe that you like best and she will be your mother.
01:34Oh, goodness me, that's not a lamb, oh, there must be some mistake, where am I, leopards,
01:44lizards, oh dear, lynxes, lamas, oh, how did this happen to me?
01:55Lambert, that's no lamb at all, Lambert is a lion, South Africa, oh, goodness me, I've
02:15got to do some flying, come Lambert, pardon me, I beg your pardon, sorry, sorry, oh, Mrs.
02:24I'm afraid there's been a slight bungle, I'll take that vicious little brute and drop him
02:30in the jungle, oh, goodness, Mr. Betsy, all right, let her have it, let her have anything
02:43she wants, for heaven's sake, I'm only a delivery service, that's all, well, the next morning
02:52when the Sun rose, the sheep rose and all the little lambs were being tidied up by their mothers
02:59and Lambert there, just look at the little guy, why he could hardly wait to run and jump and
03:07gamble with his brothers, uh-uh, you're right, there's something wrong, the other lambs all
03:24laughed at him and teased him with a song, Lambert, you can't even bark, you can't even
03:32fleet, your ears are too big and so are your feet, Lambert, you tail it to shout and so is your
03:41wolf, there isn't enough for one bad fool, Lambert, fishy fish lion, Lambert is always trying to be a wild and woody sheep, Lambert, fishy fish lion, little lambs all laugh too, but their heads
04:01are a stone, Lambert thought that he could make a dozen lambs alone, while the other lambs all gathered round to watch this funny bout, oh, oh, oh, oh, he wanted to be counted in, but he was counted out, Lambert, the sheepish lion, Lambert, is always
04:30trying to be a wild and woody sheep, Lambert, the sheepish lion, the little lambs got Lambert's goat, he was a nervous wreck, he had to hide behind his maw to save his little neck, he couldn't baw and he couldn't butt, at last poor Lambert knew, he hated to admit that he was yellow, through and through,
05:00time changes everything, the little spring lambs were sheep by fall, and Lambert's maw, oh, was she proud of him, because she had the biggest sheep, a ewe, a lamb, a mutton, isn't he huge, however, he's still the butt of all their jokes and takes it on the chin,
05:31but, he's not ferocious like a sheep, but he has a sheepish grin, one night, the sheep were fast asleep, Lambert woke up with a fright, for he had heard an awful sound,
05:54and saw an awful, awful sight, a hungry wolf had found a flock, Lambert was petrified,
06:24Lambert, mama, Lambert, he couldn't baw, he couldn't butt, Lambert, he was big, but he was yellow,
06:44Lambert, Lambert, Lambert, Lambert, Lambert, Lambert, but when he saw this gruesome sight, and heard his mother crying, something snapped inside of him,
07:08he was a raging lion,
07:27Lambert's mother is so proud, and the sheep have changed their tune, Lambert, the sheepish lion, Lambert, there's no denying, now he's a wild and woolly sheep,
07:50he's fed of the sheepish, wailing and weepish, little wolfie, fishman, oh, and incidentally, don't worry about that hungry wolf, he has a place to cling, he won't starve, because that bush has berries, every spring.
