Gobo watched them with an approving nod, and then turned. "Rapunzel, Juju, keep an eye out for the guards." He walked closer to the middle of the cage, bringing a guitar around from behind him and sliding the strap over his shoulders. "The rest of you, follow my lead, and give those bars some great hits."

He looked back one way, listening carefully just to make sure the initial coast was clear, and then he started to play.

Well they threw us in a cage and there's
No key
We gotta find a way that we can
Get free
There's just one thing that
Might be found
Gotta rock this joint 'til the bars fall down
'Cause everybody here's gotta shout 'til we all break out
We gotta rock our way to freedom
We gotta roll right back and seat 'em
We gotta flip flop skipity hop
Back to Fraggle Rock


As Gobo led the song, even as the others played their instruments they kept the beat on the bars of the cage, adding further percussion.

Sadie took a stick and she
Banged bars
Flop started rockin' 'til he
Seen stars
Douglas blew a harp like a wild thing
Got myself a guitar and began to sing
'Cause everybody here's gotta shout 'til we all break out
We gonna rock our way to freedom
We gonna roll right back and seat 'em
Gonna flip flop skipity hop
Back to Fraggle Rock


As their music and banging increased, something changed in the cage. Wherever a bar was hit, sparks flew out and left a glowing light, as if fire had been applied to the metal. Seeing this, Gobo grinned and glanced back to catch Rapunzel's eye, winking.

Pack our backpacks back to Fraggle Rock
Pack our backpacks back to Fraggle Rock
Pack our backpacks back to Fraggle Rock

Don't need no key, don't
Need bail
Gonna bust right outta this
Old jail
Gonna beat those bars 'til they
Drop their locks
Gonna spring ourselves loose with a Fraggle Rock Rock

'Cause everybody here's gotta shout 'til we all break out
We gonna rock our way to freedom
We gonna roll right back and seat 'em
Gonna flip flop skipity hop
Back to Fraggle Rock


The light increased, and cracks started appearing deep within. Gobo made a gesture, and hands reared back for final strikes.

Gonna flip flop skipity hop
Back to Fraggle Rock


He played a final bit on the guitar, leaning back before jumping down on the final note, timed with the rest of the group giving final bashes to the bars. They gave way like superheated metal, and the top of the cage suddenly jerked down as three of the four walls shattered. Gobo was quick, grabbing it and supporting it up, and using his tail to wave.

"C'mon guys, let's move it! I know they heard that, we gotta ge outta here!"
