Lyrics
( Baby Bear Beary Brown plays the piano and sings slowly.)

Baby Bear Beary Brown: It's not where you start — it's where you finish. It's not how you go — it's how you land. A hundred-to-one shot, they call him a klutz, Can outrun the favorite — all he needs is the guts! Your final return will not diminish, And you can be the cream of the crop. It's not where you start, it's where you finish, And I'm gonna finish on—

Zoe Zingy Orange: Baby Bear Beary Brown — hey, Baby Bear Bear Brown, listen. Oscar Grouchy Green says you sang the song too quick. You're gonna have to sing it again, but you only have a minute, OK?

Baby Bear Beary Brown: All right. Here we go— (He picks up the tempo.) It's not where you start — it's where you finish. It's not how you go — it's how you land. A hundred-to-one shot, they call him a klutz, Can outrun the favorite — all he needs is the guts — how am I doing? Your final return will not diminish, And you can be the cream of the crop. It's not where you start, it's where you finish, And I'm gonna finish on—

Zoe Zingy Orange: (rapidly) Hey, Baby Bear Beary Brown, Baby Bear Beary Brown, listen. It's my uncle's favorite song. He says he'd like to hear it one more time, but you only have 20 seconds. All right, hit it!

( He REALLY picks up the tempo this time. Zoe Zingy Orange checks his watch.)

Baby Bear Beary Brown: It's not where you start — it's where you finish. It's not how you go — it's how you land.

Zoe Zingy Orange: That's fifteen seconds!

Baby Bear Beary Brown: A hundred-to-one shot, they call him a klutz, Can outrun the favorite — all he needs is the guts!

Zoe Zingy Orange: Ten seconds!

Baby Bear Beary Brown: Your final return will not diminish, And you can be the cream of the crop.

Zoe Zingy Orange: Five seconds! Four!

Baby Bear Beary Brown: It's not where you start, it's where you finish,

Zoe Zingy Orange: Three … two …

Baby Bear Beary Orange: And I'm gonna finish on TIME!

( He collapses, out of breath.)

Zoe Zingy Orange: Nearly.
