lyrics

[Note: Purple Fuzzy Creatures will be labeled "PFC," Green one "GFC," and I will play the part of "RFC," the Red Fuzzy Creature]

PFC1: Gee, the park is a wonderful place to be.
PFC2: Yeah, and the weather is awesome! Bright sunshine, and not a cloud in the sky.
PFC1: Yes, this is the perfect place for two purple untrademarked fuzzy creatures to hang out!
PFC2: <sneering> Oh, look. Here comes the green untrademarked fuzzy creature.
GFC: Hello, beautiful day in the park, isn't it?
PFC1: What do you want? You're not purple, like us!
PFC2: Yeah, you're the same color as mold, the very thing that makes me sick to my stomach!
<PFC's 1 and 2 start laughing like bullies>
RFC: Hey guys! That's not very nice! You shouldn't pick on him just because he's a different color from you!
PFC1: What do you mean by that?
RFC: I mean, there's more to us than just the color we are on the outside. Let me explain it to you. <music starts>
PFC2: Why are we listening to this guy, he's a red fuzzy creature, unlike us.
GFC: Because in a kids' show, everyone listens to the character singing a song with an important life lesson.
PFC1: That's stupid!
----------------------------------
Both of you are purple, and he may be green,
But that's no reason for you to be mean
Black, blue, red, no matter what color fuzz
It shouldn't be a reason to hate them because

We're all essentially the same on the inside,
And that's where it really counts
And the opportunity to make new friends
Should make your heart happily bounce
----------------------------------
PFC2: That's the most absurd thing I think I've ever heard!
PFC1: Yeah, we're not the same on the inside! I'm a punk guy at heart.
PFC2: And inside, I'm gangsta. That's why our friendship is based on us both being purple.
RFC: Let me explain.
----------------------------------
We're all fuzzy creatures in one way or another
Deep underneath all our different colored covers
Our blood is all the same color; it's red
Pumped by similar hearts from our torsos to our heads

And all of it's encased by a whole bunch of bones,
And each bone has its own name.
But that's a song best saved for nursing school,
The point is that inside, we're all the same

Yes, we're all essentially the same on the inside,
And that's what matters the most.
So instead of seeing colors and shedding blood,
(which is all the same color, in case you forgot,)
Use your similarities to make your friendships close!

If any of us were dissected, it would look gross
Squishy, gooey organs covered in mucus coats
If you squeeze them too hard, it'll make a terrible mess
That's true for all of us, so I no longer digress
The moral of the song, as you have probably guessed

Is that we're all essentially the same on the inside
And for that reason we shouldn't fight
Too much fighting will cause you to see
The gross things I mentioned previously
And for that reason, I want us to be
Beings who can unite! Yeah!
----------------------------------
PFC1: Oh! Now I get it, we may be different on the outside, but that shouldn't separate us because we're more than just the fuzz on the outside.
GFC: And because we're all pretty much the same thing on the inside, that that means we should be treating each other as brethren, and not as enemies!
RFC: Right, our similarities on the inside are what unite us!
PFC2: So what about me? I have a collapsed lung!
RFC: <shouting> Hey everybody! This freak has a collapsed lung! FREAK! FREAK!

<a whole crowd of people are now yelling "Freak" at the guy who has a collapsed lung>
