"Taj Mahal"-- I never got to listen to this one.
Put it on.
What's the rush?
You got a train to catch?
( music begins playing ) "Tuning Fork, Mississippi.
Population: 10."
Not a very popular place, is it?
Let's see if we can get something to drink.
I'm parched.
Hello, boys.
Sure is hot out there.
Can I interest y'all in some lemonade?
I'd prefer furniture polish, but if that's all you got... ( sighs ) That'll be five dollars please.
I don't have five dollars!
How about a watch instead?
If you can't pay, I'm going to have to call the sheriff.
Sheriff!
All right, you two, you're coming with me.
I'm the sheriff, too.
Wait!
Wait!
( gasping ) Isn't there some way we can pay you back?
Can you sing?
Um, well, I did just write a song, but...
Okay.
Oh... You can try to make back what you owe me.
I'll give you till sundown.
Then it's the hoosegow for you!
WALLY: "The hoosegow"?!
Not the hoosegow!
What's a hoosegow, George?
I don't know, but it doesn't sound good.
We'd better start singing.
You sing; I'll do drums.
♫I once had a good friend♫ ♫And his head was made of wood♫ ♫Oh, I once had a...♫ ( laughing ): I do declare, that moose sounds just like a mouse.
♫...was made of wood.♫ That's it?
No second verse?
Why bother?
You heard her.
I sound like a mouse.
So?
A mouse has feelings, doesn't he?
Put some feeling into it.
( more passionately ): ♫But he listened to my problems♫ ♫Just like a good friend should.♫ There you go!
You're singing it like you mean it.
You know what?
You got talent.
Don't be afraid to show it.
( begins playing ) TAJ MAHAL: ♫Fancy goin' fishin' all of the time...♫ What about me?
Don't I have talent?
