This a book song telling the story of Slouch Book #3," "The Stinkells in Stankwell."

lyrics

There’s a place, called Stankwell,
Where Stinkells do stay.
Not very nice, and mean tricks,
they like to play,
Their best friends are the Slouch, in the Magicial Couch, so keen,
For Stinkells are worse that a Slouch, which can be seen,
The leader of the Stinkells, is Boris DaMean….

There’s a day, once a year,
The Stinkells do fear.
It’s called Lovesday, all the creatures,
hold it dear.
It’s a day when sweets and chocolates, are the news,
Stinkells don’t understand, the presents that it brews,
This day makes them sick, their beaks turn red from blue.

Lovesday was coming,
And the love continued to grow,
Chocolates bought, presents wrapped,
Topped off with a bow,
With Boris DaMean, on a hill, watching all below,
Tapping his beak, gazing down upon the show,
He hated the love, the gifts, Lovesday must go!

Lovesday is finally here….it only comes just once a year,
The only day, Stinkells fear,
Everyone else, holds it dear,
Chocolates shaped like hearts,
Candies sweet and tart,
A day, all others express love…….

He formed a plan, to break the dam,
High above the towns,
He’d wash them out and then their love,
Would turn to frowns,
Stinkells Tommy and Chad and Brian, were just a few,
Who would sneak to the dam, with Boris and wait their cue,
To flood the towns and their beaks return to blue.

But all the towns, were prepared,
Had boats on hand,
Except Stankwell,
The water swept through their land,
Boris stood on a floating platform, spirits popped,
He realized that, his flooding plan had flopped,
Now boats were approaching, Lovesday had not been stopped.

Lovesday is finally here….it only comes just once a year,
The only day, Stinkells fear,
Everyone else, holds it dear,
Chocolates shaped like hearts,
Candies sweet and tart,
A day, all others express love…….

Then it happened, as the boats,
All reached his spot,
They offered gifts, they offered hearts,
Mean tricks forgot,
Then Boris felt, forgiveness that was strong,
He’d realized what he’d done, was very wrong,
And his left eye dripped a tear, which was real long.

Lovesday is finally here….it only comes just once a year,
A day Stinkells, no longer fear,
To love and give, they don’t hold dear,
To love for them’s a task.
Understanding it now at last,
A day, all others express love…….
For kindness was the key,
That helped, the Stinkells see,
But it stops right there,
But what more could you ask?
For Stinkells,
To love is just a task,
Emotion, that they all mask,
Lovesday will always last!
