"Be Human"
Lyrics:
Betty Boop:
Be Human,
Animals can cry.
Be Human,
It's easy if you try.
Don't go around with a heart of stone,
Or you'll be sorry,
And all alone.
Be Human,
Have a tender word,
For every Animal and bird.
If we would all be human,
This world would be in rhyme,
So be human all the time.
Betty Boop:
* Betty Boop witnesses Animal abuse
Oh...
STOP THAT, HEY YOU!
STOP THAT, HOW DARE YOU!
Be Human,
Animals can cry.
Be Human,
Won't you even try...
Don't think your wonderful just because,
You weren't born with a tail and paws.
Be Human,
Have a tender word.
Farmer:
AH, SHUT UP!
Betty Boop:
For every Animal and bird,
It's futile to be brutal,
That won't get you a dime,
So be human all the time.
Betty Boop:
YOU TERRIBLE PERSON
I'LL FIX YOU!
YOU JUST WATCH!
Grampy this is Betty
There's a dog whipping a man...
Oh... no.. no... no...
There's a man whipping a dog
Grampy:
I'll be right over!
* Reprise
Farmer:
It's futile to be brutal,
That won't get you a dime.
Betty Boop & Grampy:
So be human all the time,
Boop-Oopy-Doop!
Bop!
