Hoots: Is that what's troubling you, Bunky ... I mean, Jimmy? Jimmy: Yeah. Hoots: Well you can stop worrying. Just remember - (sung) Things are always changing So don't be sad and blue Change can make you happy 'Cause it brings you somethin' new Your caterpillar's all wrapped up And he won't tell you why Inside his sack he's changing Soon he'll be a butterfly And you know it doesn't matter If you lost your pollywogs They really didn't disappear They all changed into frogs! Hey! Things are always changing So don't be sad and blue Change can make you happy 'Cause it brings you somethin' new Sing it! Things are always changing So don't be sad and blue Change can make you happy 'Cause it brings you somethin' new Yeah, not much stays just like it was As that old clock keeps tickin' For every little egg you lose You could get back a chicken! And if you plant an acorn And wait a year or three Then turn around and look again You just may find a tree! Hey! Things are always changing So don't be sad and blue Change can make you happy 'Cause it brings you somethin' new Sing it! Things are always changing So don't be sad and blue Change can make you happy 'Cause it brings you somethin' new The seasons keep on changing too The summer turns to fall No more swimming, no more picnics But we get to play football! Hey! Things are always changing So don't be sad and blue Change can make you happy 'Cause it brings you somethin' new Everybody! Things are always changing So don't be sad and blue Change can make you happy 'Cause it brings you somethin' new! Hey! (spoken) Hoots: So how you feeling? Jimmy: Great, Bunky! Hoots: That's Hoots. (he leaves) Mother: (in hall) Are you all right, dear? Jimmy: Yes, Mom. Father: Are you sure, son? Jimmy: Yes! Now please let me get to sleep, we're moving tomorrow!
