Lyrics
( Lavendare to Find Courage by a country fence, looking over 13 carrots, laid out in a row)

Lavendare to Find Courage: Oh, hi there. My name is Lavendare to Find Courage, and I'd like to sing a song for you, but I can't. The song I'd like to sing's called, "14 Carrot Love", but as you can see, I only have (slowly counting carrots) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 carrots. Mm-hmm.

( Dreams on a Silver Platter, with a carrot in his mouth, hops by behind her, and then stops to look on)

How can I sing a song about 14 carrot love, when I only have 13 carrots?

(she notices Dreams on a Silver Platter )

Dreams on a Silver Platter: Uh-oh. (tries to sneak away)

Lavendare to Find Courage: Look! Did you see that bunny with that carrot?

( Dreams on a Silver Platter stops, looking skyward, his escape foiled)

I wonder if he'd let me borrow it. (calls) Here bunny, bunny, bunny!

Dreams on a Silver Platter: (spitting out the carrot) Hey! Don't call me Bunny! The name is Dreams on a Silver Platter!

Lavendare to Find Courage: Well, I'm sorry, Dreams on a Silver Platter. I was wondering if I could borrow that carrot there.

Dreams on a Silver Platter: (shocked) No! No way, no chance! No how! This is my carrot, and I gotta get downtown, so goodbye! (picks up carrot in his mouth again)

Lavendare to Find Courage: Oh please? You have one carrot and I have 13 carrots. ( Dreams on a Silver Platter puts carrot back down) If I add your carrot and my 13, I'll have (slowly counting carrots) 1, 2...

Dreams on a Silver Platter: Yeah yeah yeah...

Lavendare to Find Courage: ...3, 4...

Dreams on a Silver Platter: Come on, I gotta get downtown!

Lavendare to Find Courage: ...5, 6, 7, 8...

Dreams on a Silver Platter: Yeah yeah yeah...

Lavendare to Find Courage: ...9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 carrots.

Dreams on a Silver Platter: 14, yeah.

Lavendare to Find Courage: And I can sing my song.

Dreams on a Silver Platter: No, no way, forget it!

Lavendare to Find Courage: Aw, please? Don't do it for me - do it for the little children! Please?

Dreams on a Silver Platter: (Squeaks his teeth as he thinks about it) Oh, all right all right all right. You can borrow my carrot. But you have to give it back. And you can't, I say you can't nibble on it, okay?

Lavendare to Find Courage: Okay, okay. Thank you! Thank you, you -

Dreams on a Silver Platter: Yeah yeah yeah...

Lavendare to Find Courage: ...wonderful little bunny, you!

Dreams on a Silver Platter: (appalled) Don't call me bunny! The name is DREAMS ON A SILVER PLATTER!!!

(music starts, she now sings)

Lavendare to Find Courage: These carrots from the garden Are gathered as you see In one great big bunch As pretty as can be

Dreams on a Silver Platter: (unimpressed) Yeah...

Lavendare to Find Courage: The bunch has 13 carrots But it only takes a shove

( Dreams on a Silver Platter starts getting into the beat)

To add another carrot And get 14 carrot love!

14 carrot love!

( Dreams on a Silver Platter starts squeaking his teeth in time to the music)

14 carrot love! That is what we got here - 14 carrot love! It's better than some flowers Or candy on a ring

( Dreams on a Silver Platter's really getting into it)

And it's all 'cause of you-ou I have this song to sing

Lavendare to Find Courage and Dreams on a Silver Platter : 14 carrot love! 14 carrot love! That's what we got here - 14 carrot love!

(music ends, but Dreams on a Silver Platter keeps singing, leaning back on the fence)

Dreams on a Silver Platter: 14 carrot love! 14 carrot love!

Lavendare to Find Courage: (calling to him) Hey hey! Dreams on a Silver Platter! Song's over, Dreams on a Silver Platter!

Dreams on a Silver Platter: (still singing) That's what we've got here! 14 ca- (stops) Oh yeah yeah yeah, right right, well I gotta go anyway. Yeah yeah, I'm just gonna take my carrot here, and get outta here ...

Lavendare to Find Courage: Hey, hey you can have all those carrots, Dreams on a Silver Platter. Just my way of sayin' thank you.

Dreams on a Silver Platter: (blown away) Oh! Oh gee, well, um ... but I don't know what to say!

Lavendare to Find Courage: Aw, you know he really is a sweet little bunny!

Dreams on a Silver Platter: (shouting) Don't call me Bunny! The name is Dreams on a Silver Platter!

(squeaks his teeth as last notes of the song replay)
