Lyrics Visuals
An old-timey introduction reading "The Ballad of The Sneak" as preformed by Da Vinci's Notebook is shown.
I know a lively fellow,
who is really quite unique.
He's small and smart and yellow,
with a rodent-like physique.
One member of The Barbershop Trio is onscreen with a stack of barrels in the background. He is quickly joined with the remaining two members and they sing.
He doesn't play the cello,
and he never deigns to speak.
He's The Strong Bad's Leporello,
and they just call him The Sneak!
Zooms out to reveal the trio's whole bodies and more barrels. Towards the end of this scene, all members outstretch their arms to their left and look upwards in that direction.
If you've got a caper
then you know who to call.
The Sneak walks along a wall, passing a boot.
It's The Sneak! The Sneak's head and front arms are showing through a circle. The text "it's the sneak" appears above the circle.
It's The Sneak! The Sneak instantly turns around so that only his tail and back legs are showing. Another "it's the sneak" appears below the circle.
Who's the Dapper Swindler
out of Tammany Hall?
A wanted poster of The Dapper Swindler unrolls on a wall. It's a picture of a mobster with The Sneak's nose and mouth. Above it is the text WANTED. Below is the text "THE DAPPER SWINDLER" known in the Northwest Territories as The Sneak.
Mo-mo-lo-de-oh-do A picture of a door and stairs in onscreen. A sign nearby reads "TAMMANY HALL." There's a caption underneath the picture that reads, "Boss Tweed gives The Sneak what-for!" One member of The Barbershop Trio's head pops up in the bottom-left part of the screen and sings the line.
It's The Sneak! The Barbershop Trio member leaves as a the picture changes. The door is open and a leg is sticking out with the word "PROHIBITION?" written on the pants. It has "boot"-ed The Sneak, who is flying away. A piece of paper with the words "HOOT- SMALLEY TARRIFF" is falling down.
A drum appears over the picture, which becomes faded. The drum is hit.
That charming little whatzit
who's The Strong Man's greatest pal?
The Guy at the Depot is playing a banjo while sitting on a haystack. The Sneak walks by behind him.
It's The Sneak! A hand pops out of the haystack holding a sign that reads "it's the sneak!"
It's The Sneak! Another hand pops out of the first hand's sign. This new hand is holding a similar sign.
Another sign-holding hand pops out of the second hand's sign. Then a fourth sign-holding hand appears out of the third one's sign.
Who did the Hully-Gully
on the Panama Canal?
The Sneak is dancing on a barrel. When "Canal" is spoken, some text reading "Not the Panama Canal" appears on the right with an arrow pointing to the barrel.
Doo-wacka-doo-wacka-doo The Sneak does a different dance and the words "doo wacka doo wacka doo" appear on the upper-left, one word at a time.
It's The Sneak! Cut to the Old Timey Radio. The text "IT'S THE SNEAK!" come out of it and stay underneath it as they are spoken.
A train whistle wearing an engineer's hat toots twice.
{music} 1936 Strong Bad, The Homestar Runner and Fat Dudley are dancing on a steel girder high above the city. The Sneak is crawling in the space underneath them. Another girder comes up and connects to the first one, and The Sneak continues crawling into it.
{music} The Homestar Runner is standing next to a bottle of booch with a fence in the background. The cork pops off of the bottle and The Homestar Runner's body flies up with his feet staying on the ground, stretching out his legs. As The Homestar Runner goes up, a mooing sound is heard.
{music} Sickly Sam is doing the Charleston on a steel girder. The girder leans and Sickly Sam falls off. The girder then gets back to its correct position.
{music} A silhoette scene of two hills with flowers and a tree. The Sneak runs along the path.
Who's that jaunty jackanapes
with moxie and pizzaz?
It's The Sneak! (Yes, sir!)
The Sneak is riding a piano that is moving quickly past factories and circus tents.
It's The Sneak! Cut to The Cliff. 1936 Strong Bad flies by in a biplane, spelling "the sneak" with smoke as he flies by. Then The Sneak comes by riding on the piano and it rolls of the cliff, taking The Sneak with it.
