00:04The Buggaloos?
00:07Okay, courage! Right over the old plate! Here we go, arms... uh, icue! Hey! How about me, guys? Hey!
00:14Don't play so rough, somebody's gonna get hurt! Watch out!
00:18When are they gonna grow up?
00:20Honey, what are you getting so uptight about? They're just having fun!
00:24Fun? Do you call trying to maim each other fun?
00:27We know why you're so upset with them!
00:29Yeah, it's got nothing to do with that game.
00:31It's because I forgot your birthday.
00:33Well, how did you know it was my birthday?
00:35You can't keep a secret from a grandpa.
00:37We hear all. See all. And blam all.
00:39I couldn't care less if they forgot my birthday.
00:42It's no big deal.
00:44So, I'm 16 today. What's so smashing about that?
00:47It's only the most important day of my life, that's all.
00:51And they didn't even remember those blooming blokes.
00:54Well, how about if we drop a few hints?
00:57You do, and I'll never speak to you again.
00:59If they can't remember my birthday...
01:02Now, stop that! Do you want to break his leg?
01:05Get up! Get up!
01:07Relax, Joy. You sound just like a grumpy old granny.
01:11Carriage, what's wrong?
01:13Oh, I just twisted my knee. It's OK.
01:16I knew this was going to happen.
01:18I tried to tell you you were playing too rough,
01:20but you wouldn't listen.
01:21We're sorry, Granny.
01:23Co-wedge, let Granny Joy kiss your kneesy-weesy
01:27and make you wellsy.
01:29Oh, aren't you funny?
01:31Well, you can jolly well go and break every bone in your bodies,
01:34for all I care.
01:36Oh, she's really purple and plaid.
01:39Purple and plaid? Yeah, boiling mad.
01:41I bet she thinks we've forgotten that today's her birthday.
01:44Well, our little surprise party should bring the bloom back to her cheeks.
01:48Birthday? Surprise party?
01:51I didn't know today was Joy's birthday.
01:53Well, it is, me old darling.
01:55And we'd better pop into town to pick up that flicker and bake.
01:58Pick up the what? Flicker and bake.
02:00The birthday cake.
02:02Oh, yeah, yeah.
02:04Can I go with you? I love birthday parties.
02:07Gee, I'm so glad Joy was born.
02:09Uh, how old is she?
02:12Mate, a gentleman should never tell a woman's age.
02:15It's just not cricket.
02:17But we've got to know how many candles to put on the flicker and bake.
02:20Right you are. How many candles would you chaps say?
02:23Well, I'd say about 80.
02:26Yeah, well, yeah, about 80, yeah.
02:2980? Is she that old?
02:31Well-preserved old girl, ain't she?
02:34That's why we must forgive her now and then for being grouchy.
02:38Yeah, I guess you're right.
02:4380 years old?
02:45Wow, she doesn't look a day over 30.
02:51The Buggaloos
02:55The Buggaloos
02:57We're in the air and everywhere
02:59Flying high, flying loose
03:02Flying free as a summer breeze
03:05Happy as a summer breeze
03:15The Buggaloos
03:17The Buggaloos
03:18We're in the air and everywhere
03:29Well, what do you think of your beautiful boss?
03:32You're beautiful, all right.
03:34Yeah, even your wrinkles look gorgeous.
03:37Wrinkles? What wrinkles?
03:40Those are dimples.
03:49Is that a gray hair?
03:58You raunchy rodent!
04:02No wonder I'm falling apart at such a tender age.
04:05Go ram up the car. I've got to get to the beauty parlor fast.
04:11If I have my face sniffed again,
04:13I'll have elbows where my ears should be.
04:19Let's see what we look like.
04:21Yeah.
04:41Hey, can I see the cake again, please?
04:44They wrapped it up before I got a good look at it.
04:47Okay, mate. You can look, but don't lick.
04:52Gosh, that's the prettiest birthday cake I've ever seen.
04:56I hope it tastes as good as it looks.
04:58Uh-oh, I think we made a boo-boo.
05:00A boo-boo?
05:02Yeah, this is Joy's 80th birthday, right?
05:04Yeah.
05:06Well, this cake's too small. It'll never hold 80 candles.
05:09We wouldn't put them on even if it did.
05:11Right. When a woman gets to Joy's age,
05:15she don't want to be reminded of it.
05:17Besides, the heat from all those candles
05:19would melt the whole Bloomin' Forest.
05:21And then we'd get busted by Smokey the Bear.
05:24Oh, it sure is hard to believe Joy's an old woman.
05:28She doesn't look any older than you fellas.
05:31Actually, she isn't.
05:33Keep this under your bowler, Sonny,
05:35but we're pushing 70 ourselves.
05:37No!
05:45Holy humperdink. Did you hear that?
05:48Joy is 80 years old, and they're pushing 70.
05:51Why, it's fantastic.
05:53Yeah, they sure don't look it.
05:55I'll say. Those old fogies.
05:58But I wonder what keeps them so young-looking.
06:00Who cares?
06:02Let me tell you how I keep so young and pretty.
06:05Oh, shut up, you ding-a-ling.
06:07Oh!
06:09There must be something in that forest.
06:12There must be something in that forest
06:14that they're either eating or drinking.
06:19The Fountain of Youth.
06:21I bet those sneaky little insects,
06:23I bet they found the Fountain of Youth.
06:27Oh, your beauty supplies.
06:29Where are we going?
06:31To Tranquility Forest.
06:33Come on, get in.
06:35I want to get there before the well runs dry.
06:37You're my leader.
06:39I'll be young again.
06:41Young, young.
06:43I'm going to guzzle myself into a teeny bumper.
06:53We can't let her see the cake.
06:55We'll leave it inside the car until the party starts.
06:58Remember me, old darling.
07:00Mum's the word.
07:02Hi, love.
07:04Here, let me carry that.
07:06You might strain yourself.
07:08Why suddenly all the attention?
07:10Let me help you.
07:12I don't want you to slip and fall.
07:14Will you stop treating me like an old nanny?
07:16I'm not 60, you know.
07:18I know.
07:20That's what I admire about you.
07:22I don't know what childish game you're playing,
07:24but will you play it without me?
07:26I've got to scrub my floor.
07:28I'll scrub your floor.
07:30You should save your string.
07:32Save my string for what?
07:34I've nothing else to do today.
07:36There's nothing special about that.
07:38It's just another day.
07:40October the 12th.
07:44I think we've played this gag long enough.
07:46Yeah, it's not good for anyone her age to get so mad.
07:50Sparky, that's another thing I think we'd better get straightened out.
07:53Joy isn't really...
07:55Pardon me.
07:57You home? Buggies?
07:59Anybody home?
08:01Okay, where is it? Where is it?
08:03Blimey, who left the door open?
08:05I know it's around here someplace.
08:07What's around here someplace?
08:09Don't get cute with me, you Sun City dropouts.
08:11You think you're going to keep the Fountain of Youth all to yourselves, huh?
08:14I want sharesies.
08:16Did she say Fountain of Youth?
08:18Poor Bin's gone daft.
08:20Oh, I have, have I?
08:22Well, I heard all about you old fogies.
08:24Old fogies?
08:26Let's face it, dearie, 80 years old ain't exactly a spring chicken.
08:29What?
08:31You should look as good as she does when you're 80.
08:33He's 80? What are you all talking about?
08:36Look, your secret's out, Granny.
08:38I heard all about it in town.
08:40You mean when we were putting Sparky on?
08:42But that was just a giggle and poke.
08:44A giggle and poke?
08:46Joke, lady, joke.
08:48A joke? What a dope.
08:50And I was worried how we were going to get all those candles on our birthday cake.
08:54Look, you coots, come on, stop stalling.
08:57Birthday cake? You got me a birthday cake?
09:00You knew it was my birthday all the time.
09:02Come on, where's this fountain of youth?
09:04We were going to surprise you.
09:05And Sparky had to go and let it all out.
09:07Gosh, I'm sorry, fellas.
09:09It wasn't your fault, mate.
09:11I'll find the magic fountain myself.
09:17Aha!
09:19What's in this bottle?
09:21Oh, that's just some water I got from the lily pond.
09:24Oh.
09:26Billy, it ain't a fountain, it's a lily pond.
09:29Crazy. Crazy.
09:32Lady, that's just plain water.
09:34Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure it is, sure it is.
09:42I can see myself getting young already.
09:45My little corpuscles are just going right out of their minds.
09:48Oh, I love it. I love it.
10:00Ach, the water is all kaput, my leader.
10:03You have drunk it all.
10:04Is it working, Boss Boss?
10:06Do you feel any younger?
10:08I feel like a whale tank.
10:10Well, come on, help me up so I can see how young and beautiful I'm getting.
10:19Oh.
10:26That ugly old bag isn't me.
10:29Oh, it can't be.
10:31Oh, yes, it is.
10:33It's you, all right.
10:35Ah, shut up.
10:38I will go fill up the buckets again, my boss.
10:41Forget about that water.
10:43It's as foamy as my eyelashes.
10:46Those bugaloos are taking something to beat the old age rap.
10:49And they're going to count me in.
10:51Funky, come on. We're going to a birthday party.
11:01Stop the car. Stop.
11:04What are we stopping for, my boss?
11:06Look who's in the forest.
11:08Alone and unprotected.
11:10I bet that little glow schmo knows how those bugaloos stay so young.
11:14Grab him, Funky. Grab him.
11:16Yah, my leader.
11:19I sure hope Joy likes these flowers.
11:22They're the only birthday present I can afford.
11:25Yoo-hoo, Sparky.
11:33I did it. I did it.
11:35I zapped the little firefly.
11:37I did it.
11:40Come on, speak up, you goody glow worm.
11:42Talk. Talk.
11:44But I told you a hundred times.
11:46The bugaloos don't have any fountain of youth.
11:49They're teenagers. Really, they are.
11:52Teenagers, my eye.
11:54I know how to make the bugaloos play ball.
11:56Look alive, Flash.
11:58I've got an all-points bulletin for you.
12:00Groovy, lay it on me, boss.
12:02Flash it about that the bugaloos
12:04that are held with that youth juice
12:06or the fireflies had it.
12:08Roger. Over and out.
12:10Well, Blinky Bottom, how does that grab you?
12:13Oh, boy. Oh, boy.
12:19This is going to be quite a shindig.
12:21Where's Sparky?
12:23He should have been back by now.
12:25Doesn't he know he's holding up the party?
12:27Emergency alarm. Emergency alarm.
12:30What's up, Bluebell?
12:32I just got a flash from the drapevine.
12:34It's bad news.
12:35Sparky's in a jam.
12:37Bonita's got him.
12:38What?
12:39Oh, Blimey!
12:41Her blabby lightbulb said to tell you
12:43that you hand over your magic youth potion.
12:46Or Sparky's a goner.
12:47Oh, no!
12:48But we don't have any magic youth potion.
12:50But that old biddy will never believe it.
12:52That's not a dumb joke.
12:54There's only one way to save Sparky.
12:56Hey, Q, where are you going?
12:58She wants a magic youth potion.
13:00Let's whip one up for her.
13:01What?
13:02What does he mean?
13:04Well, what if Bonita finds out our magic youth potion
13:07is nothing but plain water and honey?
13:09She'll blow her blooming bonnet.
13:11But by then, we'll have Sparky back with us,
13:14and that's all that counts.
13:16Hey, look, that old ratbag's really anxious.
13:19She's waiting for us out front.
13:24Ah! Here they come, boss!
13:26Well, I thought you old geezers would never get here.
13:29Give me that happy youth. Give me, give me.
13:31Give me that happy youth. Give me, give me.
13:33Not so fast. Where's Sparky?
13:35First things first, sweetie.
13:37Give me that jug. I can't believe it.
13:39The magic youth potion at last.
13:42Cheers!
13:45All right, darling, now how about turning Sparky loose?
13:49Hold don't anybody move!
13:51Now, cool it, kiddies.
13:52That little goreworm stays right here
13:54until I find out this stuff is on the up and up.
13:56Oh, no, you can't.
13:57Just hope you haven't tried to pull another fast one on me.
14:00I don't get any younger.
14:01Sparky won't get any older.
14:08We've got to get Sparky out of that jukebox.
14:11And fast.
14:12When that old harpy finds out that youth potion's a fake,
14:15they'll be done for.
14:16Then it's up to us to convince her that it isn't a fake.
14:20Are you daft?
14:21There's no way that stuff's going to make her younger.
14:24No, but what if we show her what happened to us old grannies
14:27when we haven't got our youth tonic, eh?
14:29Yeah, all right.
14:40Mirror, mirror, I want the truth.
14:43Am I beginning my flower youth?
14:46No chance, you old bag of...
14:51Why, you...
14:53Those buggy bats, they tricked me again.
14:56All right, you little twerp, you had it.
14:58Blast him, Flunky, blast him.
15:00Jawohl, mein fräulein. Auf Wiedersehen, Herr Pfeiflein.
15:05No, please. I'm too young to die.
15:08Can't you just take away my television for a week?
15:11Wait, stop.
15:13It's our turn to do the zapping.
15:16Everybody wants to get in the act.
15:18Wait, blast him, Flunky, blast him.
15:20Jawohl.
15:21Do you have any last requests before I knock you off?
15:25Yeah.
15:26Would I please have a snow cone?
15:29Pistachio flavor.
15:31Come on, stop the nonsense. Blast him already.
15:33Ein, zwei...
15:36Company's coming, Chief.
15:38Four old weirdos are on their way up.
15:42Well, why did you let them in?
15:43Can't you see I'm busy?
15:45But it's the bugaloos.
15:47The bugaloos?
15:48You told me it was four old weirdos.
15:51Ach, du Liebe.
15:57What happened to the four of you?
15:59You look like ten miles out of Shangri-La.
16:01We need a shot of you, Tonique.
16:04Hurry, before it's too late.
16:07We gave you the last of it.
16:10And we want to be young again.
16:12Da, da, da, da, da.
16:15Da, da, da, da.
16:18Easy, kiddo.
16:20You mean this stuff really works?
16:22What's that, girly?
16:24Speak up. I can't hear you.
16:26All I'm hearing are me arteries. Hardly.
16:29Is this juice on the up-n-up?
16:31How come I ain't getting any younger?
16:33Be patient. Give it time.
16:36It's a long, long way from May to September.
16:40Then you've got to come all the way back from December.
16:45I'll wait. I'll wait.
16:47All this groovy-brew.
16:49Chug-a-lug?
16:51No!
16:53Not a chance.
16:55Now get out of here, you old bugs.
16:57And take that stupid firefly with you.
16:59You haven't got much time left to enjoy him.
17:01He'll slow down.
17:03Grow.
17:05Bonita.
17:06Oh, thank you, girly.
17:08You're all hot.
17:15We'll have you out in a jiff, little fella.
17:18Hey, are you guys really old or not?
17:20I'm all mixed up.
17:22We'll tell you all about it later.
17:24Let's go.
17:27Yo!
17:31What the hell?
17:32Don't mind me, Mum. I washed me hair last night
17:34and I can't do a thing with it.
17:36Sorry, we'd better dash. Our wheelchair's a double park.
17:39Ta-ta.
17:40All of you sweethearts, stop or I'll blast you.
17:43Squirrels, you've snuck on me for the last time.
17:45Now I'm going to send you all up to that big bug house in the sky.
17:48Blimey.
17:50Look what's happened to you, love.
17:52What are you gawking at?
17:54Oh, dear, you look different.
17:56It's a miracle.
17:58That youth potion really works.
18:00You look just like a teenager.
18:03A teenager?
18:05Are you talking about her?
18:07How young am I getting?
18:09Let me see. Let me see.
18:12They're putting you on, B.B.
18:14Yeah, you're as ugly as ever.
18:17Get that gruesome old bag out of the way
18:20so I can see young, gorgeous me.
18:23Let's go.
18:25Hold. Oh, no you don't, you sneaky little bugs.
18:29Full of tricks, aren't you, you miserable mosquitoes?
18:31Well, this is the end.
18:33You grass will bug me for the last time.
18:35Now get a good beat on.
18:37Anybody have a final word before we let you have it?
18:40I've just got one thing to say.
18:42Shall we try some apple pie?
18:44Yeah. Apple pie?
18:46Sky, darling, the sky.
18:48Blast them, blast them.
18:50They blasted each other.
18:52Could have happened to a nicer group.
18:54Yeah.
18:56Let's fly, Granny. We've got a birthday party to go to.
19:00Happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday
19:07Older woman, you're a little prettier today
19:15Older woman, is that what makes you smile that way?
19:24Is that what makes you smile that way?
19:29There's a magic in your eyes
19:32That wasn't there just yesterday
19:38Older woman, you're a little lovelier today
19:46Older woman, is that what makes you laugh that way?
19:54It's the love that's in your eyes
19:58That makes us want to say
20:03Happy birthday, happy birthday
20:13Older woman, older woman, older woman
