The Alligator King and his 7 Sons

[Ziffel]

That's absolutely right, Fuzzy and Blue, and it was a very nice message. "You didn't give me diamonds or rubies, but you helped me up when I was down."
And the cheap cigars reference was an interesting inclusion. Just like a few weeks ago when we were discussing that Guy Smiley skit where the occupation of the contestant was a pipe salesman. Could have meant plumbing pipes but also could have meant the kinds people smoke.

I always got a real kick out of the part where the narrator says, "The sixth son gave him seven diamond rings...to wear... upon his toes." Just the rythmic way he said it and also how the alligator king danced and moved on the rug while admiring them on his feet (before he fell, of course!).

Check out this parody and tell me what you think of it:
The Queen Rosie of France and Her Seven Daughters
One two three four five six seven!
Said the Queen Rosie of France to her seven daughters,
"I'm feelin' mighty down.
Whichever of you can cheer me up
Will get to wear my crown."

Her first daughter brought seven scallop shells
From the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea.

The second gave her seven statues of men
With clocks where their stomachs should be.

The third daughter gave her seven onyx
From the sheikdom Down There Beneath.
The Queen thought the onyx were Cocoa Puffs,
And she broke off seven of her teeth.

The fourth daughter tried to cheer her up
With seven cherry drops.
The Queen said, "I'm sorry daughter,
Since that onyx episode, I just haven't got the chops."

The fifth daughter brought the Queen perfume
In seven jars of honeydew;
The Queen took a whiff, and she broke out in hives
'Cause it smelled like Pepe Le Pew.

The sixth daughter gave her seven diamond rings
To wear upon her toes.
The Queen snagged her foot on the royal red rug
And crumpled up her nose.

The seventh daughter of the Queen Rosie of France
Was a thoughtful little whelp.
She said, "Mommy, appears to me
That you could use a little help."

Said the Queen Rosie of France to her seventh daughter,
"My daughter, you win the crown.
You didn't bring me cookies or muffins, but
You helped me up when I was down.
Take the crown; it's yours, my daughter.
I hope you don't mind the dents.
I got it on sale at a discount store-
Cost me all of seven cents!"
Seven!
