Sketch Scripts and Song Lyrics for Puppets
The puppet song lyrics were written in the early days of puppetry at Richmond Park Church when we were using two orange felt mouths with eyes and floppy ears, only distinguishable from each other as one had a pretty blue bow! That puppet is called Happy, and has the fresh, bright, enthusiastic personality of Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music. Her bubbliness and joy is counter-balanced by Mopy, who's a bit skeptical and naughty, and sings in an out of tune sort of squeaky Lancastrian accent! Hence the format in the songs of the two bouncing off each other, but you can make of them what you will! They are known tunes with parody Christian lyrics superimposed, and include Christmas and Easter themed songs.
