'An animated story of an unsual kindom in which everything and everybody is pointed - except for a young boy named Oblio. Despite his round head, Oblio has many friends. But an evil count, jealous that Oblio is more popular than his own son, says that without a pointed head, Oblio is an outlaw. Along with his faithful dog Arrow, Oblio is exiled to the Pointless Forest. There, he has many fantastic experiences (including encounters with a 3-headed man, giant bees, a tree in the leaf-selling business, and a good-humored old rock). From his adventures, Oblio learns that it is not at all necessary to be pointed to have a point in life. Music composed and performed by Harry Nilsson , who also wrote the story. Ringo Starr narrates.'
Are you sleeping
Are you sleeping, can you hear me Do you know if I am by your side Does it matter if you hear me When the morning comes I'll be there by your side
And in the morning when I wake up She may be telling me good-bye, la la la la And in the evening if we break up I'm wondering why-y-y, I'm wondering why-y-y-y...
There was a time, we had a time There was a time, we had a time There was a time, there was a time When you were mine Life Line
Down to the bottom, Hello Is there anybody else here?
It's cold and I'm so lonely, Hello! Is there anybody else here?
Hello (Hello, Hello, Hello) Won't you throw me down a Life Line? I'm so afraid of darkness, And down here it's just like night time.
Oobelie, Ooobely, Oogolie, Oogolie, Oohs..Are all around me. Hello! Will you please send down a Life Line?
Down, And there isn't any hope for me, Unless this dream which seems so real, Is just a fantasy.
Me and my arrow
Me and my arrow Straighter than narrow Wherever we go, every one knows It's me and my arrow
Me and my arrow Taking the high road Wherever we go, everyone knows It's me and my arrow
And in the morning when I wake up She may be gone, I don't know And we make up just to break up I'll carry on, oh yes I will
Me and my arrow (do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do) Straighter than narrow Wherever we go, every one knows It's me and my arrow
Me and my arrow
Think About Your Troubles
Sit beside the breakfast table Think about your troubles Pour yourself a cup of tea And think about the bubbles
You can take your teardrops And drop them in a teacup Take them down to the riverside And throw them over the side To be swept up by a current And taken to the ocean To be eaten by some fishes Who were eaten by some fishes And swallowed by a whale Who grew so old He decomposed
He died and left his body To the bottom of the ocean Now evverybody knows That when a body decomposes The basic elements Are given back to the ocean
And the sea does what it oughta And soon there's salty water (That's not too good for drinking) 'Cause it tastes just like a teardrop (So they run it through a filter) And it comes out from a faucet (And is poured into a teapot) Which is just about to bubble Now think about your troubles
P.O.V. Waltz
And suddenly The strangest things are happening I hope it's not the last time Last time I had a drink or two An hour so ago It made me think of you And now I know it's not the last time Last time Flying high up in the sky I wonder why I think I'm gonna fall Think I'm gonna fall There I go again, I'm up again, there I go again I hope this isn't all Hey. As long as were up here We might as well stay In sweet harmony Flying high up in the sky I wonder why I have to have another Point of view To see me through And now I think i'm gonna fall I hope this isn't all And on top of that I hope it's not the last time
