Quick is the twentieth episode of the second series of Alphablocks. It is the 46th episode overall.
P, I, A, N, and O bring in a piano. Q plays it, but wants U to play it with her. They play together singing their sound, but U wants to be alone, causing Q to decide to sing.
I need U,
Like a shoelace needs a shoe
Like a train needs a track
Like a duck needs a *-/æ/-/k/, *ACK!
I need you, like a king needs a *een
I'm *euing up to be seen with... stop, stop! This isn't working!
Q needs U and begs, until U finally says yes.
I need U,
Like a shoelace needs a shoe
Like a train needs a track
Like a duck needs a /kw/-/æ/-/k/, QUACK!
I need you, like a king needs a queen
I'm queuing up to be seen with U!
Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the Alphablocks /kw/-/ɪ/-/z/, QUIZ!
I'm quivering, quaking, feeling queasy,
Even if the questions are quite easy,
I'm so quiet, without U near me,
No one can ever hear me...
Question 1: What do you call a crate of ducks?
A box of...
A box of quackers!
I need U,
Like a hiccup needs a hic
Like a clock needs a tick-tock-tick
Stick with me and pick me, please be /kw/-/ɪ/-/k/, QUICK!
(U plays the piano faster)
I need U,
Like a shoelace needs a shoe
Like a train needs a track
Like a duck needs a /kw/-/æ/-/k/, QUACK!
I need you, like a king needs a queen
I'm queuing up to be seen with U!
It's time for another... /kw/-/ɪ/-/z/, QUIZ!
I'm quivering, quaking, feeling queasy,
Even if the questions are quite easy,
I'm so quiet, without U near me,
No one can ever hear me...
Question 2: What does a duck with a hiccup say?
Quic-quic!
I need U,
Like a hiccup needs a hic
Like a clock needs a tick-tock-tick
Stick with me and pick me, please be /kw/-/ɪ/-/k/, QUICK!
(U plays the piano faster)
I need U,
Like a shoelace needs a shoe
Like a train needs a track
Like a duck needs a /kw/-/æ/-/k/, QUACK!
I need you, like a king needs a queen
I'm queuing up to be seen with U!
/kw/-/ɪ/-/z/, QUIZ!
I'm quivering, quaking, feeling queasy,
Even if the questions are quite easy,
I'm so quiet, without U near me,
No one can ever hear me...
Question 3: What time does a duck wake up?
At the quack of dawn!
I need U,
Like a hiccup needs a hic
Like a clock needs a tick-tock-tick
Stick with me and pick me, please be…
That's it! I... /kw/-/ɪ/-/t/, QUIT!
