steve: you are pretty good at this game, but i, i’m up to the challenge. i am ready, freddy. doh! that rhymes. oh man, i’m just. i’m wired. i’m wired to rhyme

anand: it’s all right. just, just relax, and let it flow. and so, so, the ground rules are, it’s gotta make sense, and uhh, we’ll do, we’ll do that same chorus that we did before

[song begins]
ba da da da da da, da da, ba da da da da
ba da da da da da, da, da da da

[verse 1, steve]
we’re gonna make a song without a rhyme
so we can sing it for you
a song without a rhyme
yeah, that’s what we’re gonna …
[verse 2, anand]
…accomplish
you know, it’s gonna be tricky
yeah, it’s gonna take time
to make a song without words
that end with a…

[verse 3, steve]
…repeated sound
there was a man from nashville
who was a songwriting star
one day he got inspired
as he strummed his…

[verse 4, anand]
…gilded ukelele
he said, yeah i’ll write a non*rhyming song
it’ll be the only one
but in the end, he decided
that it could not be …

[steve]
…profitable (true)

[chorus]
well, he tried this, he tried that
but he couldn’t get it right
he worked on and on
from morning ’til next morning
hammered away and struggled along
because it’s hard as nails
to make a non*rhyming
[steve] … tune
(here’s what he came up with)
[verse 5, steve]
there once was a boy from brussels
who liked to show off his big…
[anand]
…mother
she was so strong
she could have wrestled king
[steve]
…friday
[anand]
friday?
[steve]
from mister rogers’ neighborhood
[anand]
nice
[steve]
but instead, she just stated the following

[chorus]
you can try this and try that
still not get it right
work on and on
from morning ’til next morning
hammer away and struggle along
because it’s hard as nails
to make a non*rhyming
[anand]
…hit single these days
[steve]
nice

[verse 6, steve]
well, we’ve made it this far without a rhyme
do you think i will be able to beat you this …
[anand]
…type of thing is hard to do (steve groans)
but we’re still going strong
and now for the part where we all sing a…
[steve]
…aloud together

[bridge]
la la la, do do do do
[steve]
you love me and i love…
[anand]
…yodeling
yo*de*lay*hee*hoo, yo*de*lay*hee*hee

[verse 7, anand]
well, if you wanna hear a rhyme
just listen to…
[steve]
…mother goose
there was an old woman who lived in a shoe
she had so many children she didn’t know what to…
[anand]
…pay her babysitter
his name was peter, peter, pumpkin pie
he always used to sing this lulla…
[steve]
…lovely little tune (laughs)

(spoken) all right, here’s a tough one. ready, anand?
twinkle twinkle, little star
how i wonder what you…
[anand]
…all are doing living in this shoe
[steve]
excellent!

[chorus]
oh, you can try this and try that
and still not get it right
work on and on
from morning ’til next morning
hammer away and struggle along
because it’s hard as nails
to make a non*rhyming ditty
that doesn’t use any rhyming words
unlike any other song
you’ve ever listened to
[steve]
but now for better or worse, my friend
we’ve finally come to the…
[anand]
…elephant chorus
[steve]
oh, you’re good
[anand]
don’t they sound sublime?
(spoken) hey, uh, hey steve
[steve]
yeah
[anand]
what was it that your granddaddy always used to say? right after he said, never ever ever misquote me
[steve]
oh no. he used to say
(sung) you might as well go with elephants
if you’re trying not to rhyme
[anand]
that’s right
[steve]
(groans) oh, why did he say that??
[anand]
i don’t know. that’s a strange thing to say
