Hello, I'm Laura, from Spain. I need your help, please. I would like to know the title of a song that Gobo sings in the Gorg's garden with another Fraggle (I think it's Wembley or Boober). I don´t know the lyrics because I see the chapters in spanish, but I can tell you the argument: it starts a little sad, the music is like a funeral music, but it gets faster until the fraggles dance. And I think (but I'm not sure about it) that as they sing, Junior is laying on the floor bacause he thinks he's dead, but I'm not sure if this happens in this same chapter.
Thank you very much, and please forgive me, my english is not as good as i would like.

I forget the exact scenario, but I have a VHS tape called Fraggle Songs with about 30 songs from season one, and this one is on it...

*******

When my time to go is here,
Call my friends to gather near.
Tell the doctor and the preacher that I'm failing.

"Boober, where did you learn a funeral derge?" -Red
"I composed it in honor of my own departure." -Boober
"Hey, pick up the tempo, will ya? I like a funeral derge you can
dance to." -Junior Gorg
"A funeral derge?" -Red
"You can dance to?" -Gobo
"I think we're homeward bound." -Red
"All we have to do is.." -Gobo
"Pick up the tempo!" -Gobo and Red

But forget about your black,
'Cause I'm planning to come back.
Play some honky-tonkin' grief and Dixie wailing.

Pick me up and lay me down,
And spread the news all over town,
And tell 'em all to come or they'll be sorry.

"Slow down." -Boober

Pick me up and shake me twice.
I'm coming back from paradise.
This poor boy is here to live in glory.

"This should be somber and dignified." -Boober

When it's time to say good-bye,
All my friends will sit and cry,
And they'll watch the coffin rockin' round and squirmin'.

Then they'll raise a mighty shout,
When my bones come marching out.
And I praise myself and preach the final sermon.

"Wait a minute. You're losing the sad, maudlin quality." -Boober

Pick me up and lay me down,
And spread the news all over town,
And tell them all to come or they'll be sorry.

Pick me up and shake me twice,
I'm coming back from paradise,
This poor boy is here to live in glory.

When the Earth begins to quake,
From the shaking at my wake,
I'll be here and making music like a ?????

'Till the honky-tonkin' grief,
Gives the Angels sweet relief,
'Cause they know that Dixie wail is still surviving.

Pick me up and lay me down,
And spread the news all over town,
And tell them all to come or they'll be sorry.

Pick me up and shake me twice,
I'm coming back from paradise,
This poor boy is here to live in glory.

Pick me up and lay me down,
And spread the news all over town,
And tell them all to come or they'll be sorry.

Pick me up and shake me twice,
I'm coming back from paradise,
This poor boy is here to live in glory.
This poor boy is here to live in glory!
