• Danny Garrison : [singing while showing his Ben marionette to the real Ben]  Start the day, oh, come along now, Ben. Come on out, before I count to ten. If you stay, you will miss all the fun and there's room for everyone.

• Danny Garrison : [singing while playing with a clown marionette]  Start the day, you've been asleep too long. Start the day and sing a happy song. Smile, smile at everyone you meet and dance your way down each street. Oompa oompa oompa oompa oompa oompa oompa oompa oompa oompa oom pa pa. Oompa oompa oompa oompa oompa oompa oompa oom oom oom oom pa. Start the day, it's time to rise and shine. Off we go, the world is looking fine. Get dressed up, put on your Sunday best. Tomorrow, you all can rest.

• Henry Gray : [as Ben and the swarm of rats attack him]  Hey! They're biting me! They're biting me! Mother! Mother! Mother! Mother!

  Danny Garrison : You shouldn't pick on people.
