Episode #9

"Now You See 'em, Now You Don't"



Episode Summary:
In an attempt to include Sparky in their musical activities, the Bugaloos find a way to work Sparky into one of their songs. This "groovy new sound" becomes a selling point, and, of course, catches the attention of Benita Bizarre. Her latest plan involves faking adoption papers for Sparky, naming *her* as his legal guardian, so that *she* can cash in on his new sound. The Bugaloos must figure a way to get Sparky back.

Semi-Opening Song: "Gna Gna Gna Gna Gna"
    If you're down in the dumps
    With a case of the grumps
    And your get up and go
    Has got up and went
    Remember the following magical words

    Gna Gna Gna Gna Gna
    Gna Gna Gna Gna Gna

    Gna Gna Gna Gna Gna
    Gna Gna Gna Gna

    Gna Gna Gna Gna Gna Gna

    Silly, funny as it may seem
    These words have a magical way
    Of bringing you up from the dumps, the blues
    And brighten your whole day

    If you're ever uptight
    Anytime day or night
    And your frightened and betting
    You'll never pull through
    Take a deep breath and repeat after me

    Gna Gna Gna Gna Gna
    Gna Gna Gna Gna Gna

    Gna Gna Gna Gna Gna
    Gna Gna Gna Gna
