Abiyoyo
<p>Abiyoyo</p><p>by Pete Seeger</p><p>If you've got any small kids at your home, you might try telling them this story.</p><p>Once upon a time, there was a little boy who played the ukulele. He'd go around town --</p><p>"Ploop ploop ploop ploop, ploop ploop ploop ploop, ploop ploop ploop ploop, ploop ploop ploop ploop."</p><p>The grownups said, "Get that thing out of here." Not only that, the boy's father was getting</p><p>in trouble. He was a magician. He had a magic wand. He'd go, "Zoop, zoop," and make</p><p>things disappear.</p><p>But the father played too many tricks on people.</p><p>Somebody would be doing a hard job of work -- "Zzzz, zzz, zzz, zzz." Up comes the father</p><p>with his magic wand, and -- "Zoop!" no saw.</p><p>He'd go up to somebody about to drink a nice, cold glass of something -- "Zoop!" the glass</p><p>disappears.</p><p>He'd come up to someone about to sit down after a hard day's work -- "Zoop," no chair.</p><p>People said to the father, "You get out of here too! Take your magic wand, and you and</p><p>your son..." The boy and his father were ostracized. (It means they made them live on the</p><p>edge of town.)</p><p>Now in this town, they used to tell stories. The old people used to tell stories about the</p><p>giants that lived in the old days. They used to tell a story about a giant called Abiyoyo.</p><p>They said he was as tall as a house... and could eat people up! Of course, nobody believed</p><p>them, but they told the story anyway.</p><p>One day... one day, the sun rose blood-red over the hill. The first people got up and looked</p><p>out of their windows. They saw a great big shadow over the sun. They could feel the whole</p><p>ground shake. Women screamed! Strong men fainted! "Run for your lives, Abiyoyo's</p><p>coming!"</p><p>He comes to the sheep pasture, grabs a whole sheep... "CHOMP!"</p><p>He comes to the cow pasture, grabs a whole cow... "CHOMP!"</p><p>The men yell, "Grab your most precious possessions and run, run!"</p><p>Just then, the boy and his father woke up."Hey, pa! What's coming over the field?"</p><p>"Oh, son, that's Abiyoyo. Oh, if I could only get him to lie down, I could make him</p><p>disappear!"</p><p>The boy says, "Come with me, father." He grabs his father by one hand, his father gets the</p><p>magic wand, the boy gets the ukulele, they run across the field... people yell, "Don't go near</p><p>him! He'll eat you alive!"</p><p>There was Abiyoyo. He had long fingernails because he never cut them, slobbery teeth</p><p>because he never brushed them, stinking feet because he didn't wash them... he raised his</p><p>claws... and the boy whips out his ukulele, and starts to sing:</p><p>Abiyoyo, Abiyoyo, Abiyoyo, Abiyoyo. Abiyoyo yo yoyo yo yoyo. Abiyoyo yo yoyo yo yoyo.</p><p>Well, you know the giant had never heard a song about himself before. And a foolish grin</p><p>spread over the giant's face. And the giant started to dance.</p><p>Abiyoyo, Abiyoyo, Abiyoyo, Abiyoyo.</p><p>The boy went faster.</p><p>Abiyoyo yo yoyo yo yoyo. Abiyoyo yo yoyo yo yoyo.</p><p>Huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh... the giant got out of breath. He staggered. He fell down</p><p>flat on the ground.</p><p>Zoop, zoop!</p><p>People looked out their windows. Abiyoyo had disappeared! They ran across the fields.</p><p>They lifted the boy and his father up on their shoulders. They said, "Come back to town.</p><p>Bring your damn ukulele, we don't care anymore!" And they all sang,</p><p>Abiyoyo, Abiyoyo, Abiyoyo, Abiyoyo. Abiyoyo, Abiyoyo, Abiyoyo, Abiyoyo.</p><p></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://m3englishmd.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/abiyoyo-script.pdf">https://m3englishmd.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/abiyoyo-script.pdf</a></p><p></p>
