Life Begins for Andy Panda (originally titled Pygmy Trouble) is a 1939 American short subject cartoon created by Walter Lantz, as the very first Andy Panda film.
Rreleased originally as Pygmy Trouble, the film was retitled in parody of the Andy Hardy film Life Begins for Andy Hardy. The short capitalized on public interest surrounding the United States' first captive panda, Su Lin, who had been donated to the Brookfield Zoo in Chicago three years earlier and whose arrival created a consumer desire for panda-related products. The film was the first Andy Panda film, introducing Andy as a baby. Papa Panda was voiced by Mel Blanc, Mama Panda by Sara Berner, and Andy Panda by Margaret Hill-Talbot. In Andy Panda's fourth film,Knock Knock Walter Lantz's more famous character, Woody Woodpecker, was first introduced

Genres: Adult,It's like we've driven past a phantom tollbooth
The brother watchdogs are counting time
Rhyme and Reason held captive in a castle
But we're doing fine
Never look down the road today
Past the ending line
Down the road, as we go, still we know
We're never stopping, but we're doing fine
It's like a playground of the mind,
And we'll right whatever we find
We'll set it down
But still, we'll never peter out
'Til the time runs the meter out
And the toll is just too much for us to pay
But still, we know it's better, though
in this world like we'll never know
Are we giving it all up to fade away?
It's like a meeting with Short Shrift
The meaning shift as time breaks apart
With each day as it melts away
From an empty heart
Your thoughts tripped, the pages slipped
We never got too far
You watch as your last night
Recedes from the light of a rising star
Conducting sunlight back to the day
We make the morning symphony play
Like never before, but never again
It's slipping away
But down here in the doldrums
We sleep like we're all right
Let's put out heads together
To escape the coming night
Down here in the doldrums
Neglected as we fight
So busy jumping to conclusions
Our hearts never see the light
