Donuts for Benny
by VeggieTales

Album: Party Playlist!

Announcer: And now it's time for "Helpful Humanitarian Songs with Mr. Lunt", the part of the show where Mr. Lunt comes out and sings a Helpful Humanitarian Song.

(The song takes place outside a donut shop and focuses on a homeless dog named Benny.)

Lunt: Well he's a mangy old pet.

If you saw him I bet

You'd walk the other way.

So sad and alone,

With his hair overgrown

Like a stinky old toupee.

But doggies have feelings,

And doggies need love.

And doggies like those deep fried treats

That come from up above!

Ohhh! Donuts for Benny (to Mom Carrot) Please give

a glaze to make him smile. Thank you, ma'am!

Poor troubled beast.

Won't you at least

(Annie gives him some donuts.)

Comfort him awhile? (to Dad Carrot) Sir, can you spare a

Donut for Benny?

Please help my doggy friend. Thank you kind sir!

(Archibald gives him a donut too.)

A honey dip would really help

His broken heart to mend...(2x)

(A heart shaped donut is put back together. Eventually, Benny's mood changes thanks to all the generosity shown by everyone.)

Lunt: Well just look at this pup.

He is brightening up.

He's looking not so weak. Oh Benny!

His outlook was grim

Till you gave pastries to him.

Oh look, he wants to speak... (As Benny is given more donuts, he howls.)

Oh, doggies have feelings!

And doggies need love!

And doggies like sweet, doughy treats

That come from up above!

(Suddenly, Benny gets up on his back legs and starts singing and dancing.)

Benny: Waltz me around again baby!

Around, around, around!

Lunt: Hey, hey, what's going on?

Benny: These donuts are dreamy!

Their filling is creamy!

Oh don't let my feet touch the ground!

Lunt: Hey, what are you...? I didn't know you could...

Benny: I feel like a ship on an ocean of joy.

I just want to holler out loud, "SHIP AHOY!"

(He picks up Mr. Lunt and swings him around.)

Lunt: Stop that! Benny! No, don't do that!

Benny: Waltz me around again baby!

Around, around, around!

(Benny goes back to being a normal dog.)

Lunt: Maybe... you shouldn't have any more donuts.

(It turns out the people liked what they witnessed. So they give him more donuts.)

Townspeople: Oh, doggies have feelings.

Lunt: No no no no! No! Don't give him any more! They make him crazy! Like... Jerry Lewis!

Townspeople: Doggies need love.

Lunt: No! No, no more donuts for the dog! Oh man, this is a terrible idea. What's in these things?

Townspeople: And doggies like sweet, doughy treats

That come from up above!

(Benny, now sporting a top hat, goes anthropomorphic again.)

Benny: Ohhh... Waltz me around again baby!

Lunt: Stop it!

Benny: Around, around, around!

Lunt: No, don't give him donuts! Bad idea!

Benny: These donuts are dreamy!

Their filling is creamy!

Oh don't let my feet touch the ground

I feel like a ship on an ocean of joy.

I just want to holler out loud, "SHIP AHOY!"

(As Benny dances one more time, Mr. Lunt talks to himself, regretful about giving donuts to him in the first place.)

Lunt: I need a new pet.

Benny: Waltz me around again baby!

Around, around, around!

Lunt: Can turtles eat donuts? (continuing under dialogue) What kind of pet doesn't have a mouth? I can give one a balloon.

Announcer: This has been "Helpful Humanitarian Songs with Mr. Lunt", tune in next time to hear Mr. Lunt say...

Lunt: Don't..give...donuts...to dogs!!
