Transcript

Below are the transcripts of the segments of the show which include performances by Homestar Runner and Marshie.

Note: Many of the lyrics are unintelligible, especially in the chorus to "With a Little Help".

Marshy's Song

FLANSBURGH: Ladies and gentlemen, a couple of months ago it was our privilege to, uh, to team up with the fine HomestarRunner.com corporation {audience cheers} based right out out of here in the fine state of Georgia, ladies and gentlemen. If you haven't seen the "Experimental Film" video that they put together at the, uh, HomestarRunner.com... place, we'd like to invite you to check it out. Um, we have some representatives from the HomestarRunner.com organization with us here tonight. Um, Mr. Linnell, will you, uh, introduce our first spokesmodel?

LINNELL: Um... what do we, how do we do this? Marty start the song, then... the whole place gets crazy?

FLANSBURGH: Uh, I think we should start, I think we should start with the spotlight on so we can cherish every moment of what we're about to experience.

LINNELL: Okay, well that would be a job for our lighting man... Ladies and gentlemen, our next guest is, uh, cylindrical. Okay, go ahead Marty. {Marty counts time with his drumsticks and the music begins.}

MARSHIE: Hey juys! {like "guys" but with a "j" sound}

DEEP VOICE: Hey, Marshie, how ya doin?

MARSHIE: Pretty good!

{singing}
I'm feelin' like Milton Berle
I'm lookin like vanilla swirl
So come along and dance with me girl
What's the matter, don't you have any legs?

{spoken} Hey! How y'all feelin' out there? {the audience cheers} I'm a talkin' marshmallow!

I'm felling like Milton Berle {Flansburgh and Linnell sing back-up:} (Marshie! Marshie!)
Don't call me a mushroom! (Marshie!)
Everybody loves me! (Marshie!)
The first one to eat a millions wins!

Get in the van!
Get in the van!
Get in the van, kids!
Get in the van!
We're giving away puppies!
And ice cream!
And ding-dogs!
Hey! (Marshie!)
Hey, that's me! (Marshie!)
They're singing about me! (Marshie!)
Get out of my dressing room! (Marshie!)
I think I'm in looooooooooooooooove.

FLANSBURGH: {music ends} Marshie, ladies and gentlemen!

LINNELL: Please give a warm hand.

MARSHIE: Thanks, juys! I'm goin' this wayyy!

With a Little Help From My Friends

FLANSBURGH: Say goodbye to Marshie, but, but there's more, ladies and gentlemen. We've got a very special guest for you now, all the way from../ HomestarRunner.com, our good, fine, special puppet friend, Homestar Runner.

LINNELL: Save it for the show.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Let's do it. Marty! {Marty counts time with his drumsticks and the music begins.} A lot of people-- I've heard a lot of talk. A lot of different types of talk from a lot of different types of people. They've been talkin' 'bout stuff that I don't wanna hear. These people've been talkin' bout... sports.

{singing}
What would you do if I took off my shoes
And threw them out into the street?
Would you lend me a pair
Of your finest brown loafers?
I promise not to have stinky feet! Oh!

(Try with a little help from my friends)

Oh, I'm always givin' high fives

(By with a little help from my friends)

We hang out at high five fives

Soundcheck - Homestar and Friends

HOMESTAR RUNNER: I'd like to bring it down during the soundcheck. I'd like to dedicate this one to all the foam fingers in the place tonight.

{singing}
What would you do
If I started singin' out of tune?
Would you stand up and walk out on me? I hope not.
Lend me your ears and I'll try not to tickle 'em
But that depends on how much hair you have in your ears. Oh!

(By with a little help from my friends)

Oh, I'm always gettin' by

(High with a little help from my friends)

We order lot of french fries

(By with a little help from my friends)

I like to hang out with the fry guys

I'm feelin' like Milton Berle

Or some kind of puffy cloud

(Marshie!)

Get out of my dressing room!
