[THEME SONG]

LYRICS: It's a beautiful
day in this neighborhood,

a beautiful day for a neighbor.

Would you be mine?

Could you be mine?

It's a neighborly day
in this "beautywood,"

a neighborly day for a beauty.

Would you be mine?

Could you be mine?

I have always wanted to have
a neighbor just like you.

I've always wanted to live
in a neighborhood with you.

So let's make the most
of this beautiful day.

Since we're together, we might
as well say, would you be mine?

Could you be mine?

Won't you be my neighbor?

Won't you please,
won't you please?

Please, won't you
be my neighbor?

Hi, neighbor.

Welcome to this neighborhood.

I want to show you
something right away.

This is a silhouette
of something.

It's an outline
that's filled in.

That's what a silhouette is.

What does it look like to you?

A vegetable that's
the color orange

that a lot of people
and animals like to eat.

I'll show you a picture of it.

See that?

And see how the
silhouette is just

like the outline of that carrot?

A carrot and its silhouette.

Now I'll show you
another silhouette.

Let's see if you can
guess what this is.

This one is a difficult.

But it's a silhouette of
something else to eat.

Some people like them baked.

Some like them mashed.

And some like them French-fried.

A potato.

Mr. McFeely's going to
bring a friend of his

to visit here in a while.

And his friend's
name is Jim West.

And Mr. West is a shadow artist.

Instead of using paper
to make silhouettes,

Mr. West uses his
hands like this.

Hello.

Hello.

[KISSES] [DOOR KNOCKING]
Oh, maybe that's them now.

It is.

Come in.

-Speedy delivery,
speedy delivery.

Mr. Rogers, I'd like
you to meet Jim West.

-Hello, Mr. Rogers.

-Nice to meet you, Mr. West.

I'd like you to know
my television neighbor.

-Hi.

-Mr. Jim West.

Come on in.

-All righty.

-Now, where do you do
your shadow artistry?

-Well, we need a big,
clean piece of wall or--

-Well, what about
out in the kitchen?

-Oh, let's take a
look at the kitchen.

This would be great, right
here on the refrigerator.

We could do it right there.

Do you h our light, Mr. McFeely?

-Oh, I do, I do.

I have a flashlight right here.

I should put it on the table.

-That's a good spot for it.
-All righty.

I'll turn it on, there, for you.

-Do we need the
other lights off?

-That would help.

-All right.

-There.

You see we've got a
nice shadow there.

MR. ROGERS: Oh, I should say.

Look at that.

MR. WEST: A real
easy one to make--

do you want to try
this, Mr. McFeely?

MR. McFEELY: Ah, so-- Oh--

MR. WEST: Put your hands
together like that.

And you can make an alligator.

MR. McFEELY: Alligator.

MR. WEST: Got it.

That's good.

That's good, Mr. Rogers.

MR. ROGERS: Oh, a lot of
alligators in the pond.

[LAUGHING]

MR. McFEELY: Oh,
show him the bird.

MR. WEST: You want
to see the bird?

MR. ROGERS: Yes.
MR. WEST: All right.

Take two hands.

And they could be dogs.

But we're not going
to make them dogs.

We're going to cross them
in front of each other,

hook their ears together,
and there, get a nice bird.

MR. McFEELY: Is that beautiful.

MR. WEST: Do you want
to try that, Mr. Rogers?

MR. ROGERS: Now, how
did you say you do that?

MR. WEST: Two hands crossed
in front of each other.

Hook the ears together,
or the fingers.

And just keep your hand
a little bit flatter.

There you go.

See?

And then you can turn that
into a bat or a butterfly.

And if you hook your thumbs that
way, turn it into a big spider.

Have it flying right
up the refrigerator.

MR. McFEELY: There we go.

MR. WEST: And you know, I
used to be afraid of spiders.

MR. ROGERS: You did?

MR. WEST: And I used to be a
little afraid of the dark, too.

But when you play
with shadows, you

can turn that big, scary
spider right back into a bird.

And all that will
just fly right away.

MR. ROGERS: I bet
it helps you to use

your hands and making shadows.

-Oh, it sure did.

And I had a lot of
fun with it, too.

We can make an elephant and
bring the circus to town.

Then he can raise his trunk.

Or we could have a horse
in the circus parade.

And then in the
winter, we can turn

that horse into a reindeer.

MR. McFEELY: Isn't
that wonderful.

MR. WEST: Or we
could have a duck.

And I could--
[QUACKING] And we can

turn that duck right
into a bulldog.

[BARKING]

MR. McFEELY: Oh, one of
my favorites is the swan.

-Oh, well, you
really have to put

your whole body into this one.

Use your head.

MR. ROGERS: Well, look at that.

[PLAY VOICE] Hello, swan.

MR. WEST [PLAY VOICE]:
Hello, Mr. Rogers.

MR. ROGERS [PLAY
VOICE]: I like you.

MR. WEST [PLAY
VOICE]: Oh, thank you.

We'd better get
going, hadn't we?

MR. McFEELY: Oh, yes.

We have a show at the, uh--
this neighborhood school today.

MR. ROGERS: Oh, you're
gonna go over there?

-Yeah, we just
stopped by to say hi.

MR. ROGERS: Well, thank you.

-I'll take the, uh, flashlight.

We'll need that, right?

OK.

I'll put it in here.

-Thank you for
stopping by to say hi

and to show us your shadows.

-Well, thank you
for inviting me.

-And I'll keep looking
for that light bulb tape.

-Oh, well, thanks, Mr. McFeely.

Did you alw-- did
you often do this

when you were a little boy?

I mean, I would think that it
would take a lot of practice

to be able to know how to--

-Oh, you do have
to practice a lot.

And sometimes, if it
doesn't look quite right,

you're not doing it wrong.

It's just the light's a little
different shifted around and--

-I see.

-And you'll get it
right in the light.

-Because my friends
will probably

enjoy making their hands
do shadows like that.

-Welp, speedy delivery.

-Speedy delivery to you,
Mr. McFeely. [CHUCKLING]

-Bye-bye.

-Bye, Mr. West.

See, after you practice
those things-- oh,

I love that
elephant, didn't you?

[PLAY VOICE] Well,
come on, Trolley.

[BELL RINGING]

Last time in Make-Believe,
Robert Troll and Trolley

went to Daniel's clock to play.

But they didn't tell anybody.

So for a while, nobody
knew where the trolley was.

They didn't do it to be bad.

They just weren't thinking.

Let's just make-believe now that
Queen Sarah and Robert Troll

are talking about it as the
trolley goes by the castle

garden [WHISTLING] in the
neighborhood. of Make-Believe.

[WHISTLING, BELL]

[BELL]

[WHISTLING, BELL]

QUEEN SARAH: Oh, that's
correct, Trolley.

Yeah.

-Yeah, w-- we didn't
mean it, did we, Trolley?

No.

We didn't mean it.
[BELL, WHISTLING] Right,

stay on schedule.

And we'll see you later.
[INAUDIBLE] [BELL, WHISTLING]

QUEEN SARAH: Now, Robert Troll--

-Yes, mam?

QUEEN SARAH: Do you understand
about taking the trolley?

-Eh, yes, Queen Sarah.

I think I understand.
[INAUDIBLE]

-The trolley is supposed
to stay on its tracks.

-I realize that, Queen Sarah.

But-- but, see, if I hadn't
taken it off the tracks,

I wouldn't know about
all those other things

that the trolley can do.

-Trolley does other things?

-Oh, uh-huh.

Yes, it--

[TRUMPETS]

KING FRIDAY: Queen Sarah
and Robert Troll, I presume?

-Correct as usual, King Friday.

KING FRIDAY: It's time
for your meeting, Sarah.

QUEEN SARAH: Oh,
I nearly forgot.

Excuse me, Robert Troll.

-Sure, Queen Sarah.

We'll talk again some other day.

QUEEN SARAH: Of course.

-All right.

QUEEN SARAH: Thank you,
dear, for reminding me.

KING FRIDAY: One of
the joys of husbandry.

QUEEN SARAH: Oh.

-All right, well, we'll
see you later, then.

Goodbye.

KING FRIDAY: Oh, just
a moment, Robert Troll.

Before you go--

-Yes, Sire?

KING FRIDAY: Would you
be disposed to helping

me with a small royal errand?

-Me?

Helping you? [EXCITED MURMUR]

KING FRIDAY: Yes.

[EXCITED MUMBLING]

-Yeah, I'll be
disposed for that.

Yes, you bet ya. [INAUDIBLE]
What do you need?

KING FRIDAY: Well, it's
a matter of returning

some things that
were left behind.

-Oh, no problem.

Like I said, I will return.

I can do that.

But you see-- oh,
what kind of things?

KING FRIDAY: Shadows.

[PIANO]

-Shadows?

KING FRIDAY: Just a moment.

I'll get them.

-[MUMBLING] How am I going to
return a shadow? [INAUDIBLE]

KING FRIDAY: Here they are.

-Ooohh.

Oh.

[INAUDIBLE] shadows.

Yeah, that looks like
Henrietta Pussycat.

Yes, I would consider that.

KING FRIDAY: Correct.

-Yep, yep, right.

How about this one?

[INAUDIBLE] Oh, X, the Owl.

How about that.

Ah, and there is, ah--
let's see what this one is.

Harriett Elizabeth Cow.

KING FRIDAY: Correct, yeah.

[MUMBLING]

-OK.

And that's gotta be
Donkey Hodie, is it?

KING FRIDAY: Correct.

-Good.

KING FRIDAY: Yes, they were
all here a few days ago.

And their shadows stayed on.

I think they should be reunited.

-Uh-huh.

Eh, Your Highness,
I'm not quite sure--

I'm a little mixed up here.

Wh-- I don't understand.

How can a shadow
be at one place.

And then-- [MUMBLING] and then--
and then-- oh, do you see?

I-- [MUMBLING] I
don't understand that.

KING FRIDAY: Eh, it's
make-believe, Robert Troll.

ROBERT TROLL: Ooohh.

-That's sufficient
explanation, yes.

-Got you, Your Highness.

Make-believe, yes, sir.

KING FRIDAY: So thank
you for your help.

-Pleasure to serve you,
Your Highness. [MUMBLING]

KING FRIDAY: Thank you.

Eh, come along, shadow.

[MUMBLING]

-Shadows, yeah.

I like these shadows.

They're [INAUDIBLE] X, the Owl.

Yes. [INAUDIBLE]

-Hi, Robert Troll.

-Oh, Lady Aberlin. [INAUDIBLE]

TOGETHER: Toot.

[GIGGLING]

-It's good to see you.

-I'll say.

I have a free day,
care-free day.

Want to do something with me?

-Sure. [MUMBLING] You want
to do something with me?

-Of course.

What do you want to do?

-Oh, s-- let's deliver shadows.

[PIANO]

-Well, how can you
deliver-- shadows?

-This kind of shadow, see?

-That looks like Donkey Hodie.

-Yeah, [MUMBLING] who's
this look like? [MUMBLING]

-Henrietta!

-Yes, [MUMBLING]

-I never saw such a thing.

-[GIGGLING] Isn't
that something?

[MUMBLING] And who's this one?

-X.

-Right. [MUMBLING] And
there's Harriett Elizabeth.

-Oh., yes.

-Yeah.

Well, we've got to deliver
them to their owners real fast.

[MUMBLING]

-Their shadows?

-Yeah, well, it's,
eh-- make-believe.

Hm?

-Oh, of course.

-Yeah.

OK, well, [MUMBLING] We'd
better get to going [MUMBLING]

Let's hurry up and
make speedy deliveries.

And then we'll have
more [INAUDIBLE]

time later on for
something else, OK?

We can do that.

-OK.

Well, I'll take care Harriett
Elizabeth Cow and Donkey

Hodie over to someplace else.

-Good.

And I'll take Henrietta
Pussycat and X, the Owl

over to the tree.

-Well, should we meet back here?

-Oh, good idea. [MUMBLING]

TOGETHER: Toot.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

-Henrietta.

Oop--

HENRIETTA: Meow,
Robert Troll, meow.

-I didn't mean to startle
you, dear. [MUMBLE]

HENRIETTA: Meow,
sunbathing, meow, meow.

-Uh-huh.

Well, it's a beautiful
day to sunbathe, yep.

HENRIETTA: Meow.

-Yeah, you probably
wouldn't want

to sunbathe without
your own shadow, though,

right, Henrietta?

HENRIETTA: Meow, meow, mean?

-Well, see, you-- you left
your shadow over at the castle.

And King Friday wanted me
to bring it back to you.

-Meow, I'll be.

Meow, really glad
meow shadow's back.

-Oh, I bet you're glad
your shadow's back.

I--

HENRIETTA: Meow didn't
know meow, meow, gone.

-Ah-hah, you didn't
even miss it, did you?

HENRIETTA: Meow. [GIGGLING]
Meow, meow, other shadow?

-Oh, well that one's X, the Owl.

See?

HENRIETTA: Oohh.

-Uh-huh.

HENRIETTA: Meow meow call him?

-Sure, yeah, why don't
we both call him?

HENRIETTA: Meow K.

-OK. [MUMBLING]

HENRIETTA: Meow.

-X. [MUMBLING] X.

HENRIETTA: Meooww.

-Maybe he's not home.

Oh-- Hey.

X THE OWL: Hey, what's
happening, you all?

HENRIETTA: Meow,
meow, meow, meow,

see, meow, Robert
Troll, meow, meow, meow.

X THE OWL: Oh, what
is it, Robert Troll?

-Your shadow.

-My what?

-Your shadow, X.
You left it over

at the castle the other day.

And King Friday wanted me
to bring it back to you.

[MUMBLING]

X THE OWL: I can't believe it.

I thought I saw my shadow inside
my tree just a few minutes ago.

-Did ya?

-Meow, meow, mine, too.

-Oh, we must have
left them together.

-Well, no, we-- yeah, well,
you're not the only ones that

left them. 'Cause, uh, Harriett
Elizabeth Cow left hers.

Donkey Hodie left his.

[MUMBLING]

HENRIETTA: Meow, taking
theirs, meow, too?

-Ah, well, no.

Lady-- Lady Aberlin's
helping me with it.

She took those over
there. [INAUDIBLE]

And I took them here.

X THE OWL: I'll bet they'll be
surprised when they [LAUGHING]

see their shadows coming home.

-[LAUGHING] They
will, yes, yeah.

[PIANO]

-Ee-haw.

It's time for a
break, everybody.

-Yay.

Oh, I agree with that, Donkey.

-Busy day, heh.

-Yeah.

-Yeah, you came at just the
right time, Lady Aberlin.

-Oh, thanks, Harriett.

I've enjoyed the work.

And it's really complicated.

-Ee-haw.

You catch on quickly.

-Well, it's the Post machine
sorting that takes practice,

I think.

-You're right there.

Eh, could I get you
a little refreshment?

-Oh, no, thanks, Harriett.

I've been exhilarated
by the work.

HARRIETT ELIZABETH: Mhm.

-Oh.

DONKEY HODIE: What?

-I just remembered why I
came here in the first place.

-Ee-haw.

I bet you wanted a nice
stroll in the country.

And you got talked into
working here. [CHUCKLING]

-No, I was supposed to deliver
something to each of you.

-Oh.

-Oh, I wonder what that is.

-I don't know.

-Here's yours, Donkey Hodie.

-Why, it's my shadow.

I wondered where it was.

-Yes.

-Welcome home, shadow.

I've missed you.

Where were you
hiding? [GIGGLING]

-Well, there were several
shadows left at the castle.

And Robert Troll and I
have been delivering them.

-Oh.

-Guess whose this is.

-Ooohh, with little horns like
that, it's got to be mine.

[GIGGLING] Thank, you Lady A.

-Oh, you're welcome.

Thanks for letting me
help out here on the farm.

-Yeah, we'd better get
back to work now, too.

Want to stay on for the
next shift, Lady Aberlin?

-I'd like to.

But I told Robert Troll that
I'd meet him at the castle

after I delivered the shadows.

Gosh, I hope he's
still waiting for me.

-Well, thanks, anyway,
for your delivery.

And come back any time.

-Yes, come back anytime.

-Yeah.

-With or without your
shadows. [LAUGHING]

-Oh, I will.

Thanks ever so much.

Farewell.
DONKEY HODIE: Come on, Harriett.

HARRIETT ELIZABETH: Bye.

DONKEY HODIE: We've got to get
over to the washer-dryer sorter

dumper and start on here again.

[SNORING]

[PIANO]

[WHISTLING] [BELLS] [MUMBLING]

-No, no, Trolly, I was
just resting my eyes.

Yeah. [WHISTLING, BELLS] No, no.

It's been-- It's been OK.

Everything's fine. [MUMBLING]
[BELLS AND PIANO] Yeah, well,

I've been delivering
shadows. [MUMBLING]

[BELLS AND PIANO] Hm.

Oh, it surprised me, too.

But no more surprising than what
you can do, though, Trolley.

[WHISTLING]
[BELLS AND PIANO] Yeah, well,

the king and queen were
just too busy to listen.

That's what the problem
was. [MUMBLING, WHISTLING]

-Listen to what?

-Huh?

Oh, I didn't see or
hear you come up,

there, Lady Ab--
[MUMBLING] [GASPS]

TOGETHER: Toot.

Well, what were the queen and
king too busy to listen to?

Hi, Trolley.

-Uh, to what I learned about,
what the trolley could do when

last time I took
it off its tracks.

-Well, I'm not too
busy to listen.

-Did you, uh, get your
shadows delivered?

-Oh, yes.

And I helped with some
farm work, besides.

I hope I didn't keep
you waiting too long.

-No, no, that's all right.

-Now, what's this
about the trolley?

-Uh, are you, uh-- are
you sure you wanna know?

-Is it scary?

-Nah, I don't think it's scary.

Hm-mm.

-Well, then I'm ready to learn
if you're ready to teach me.

-OK.

All right, Trolley.

Lady Aberlin and I
would like to see

the time that King
gave me the shadows.

[BELLS]

Ah, just a little while ago.

[BELLS]

-Why, that is amazing.

-Mhm.

-Can Trolley show anything
that happened in the past?

-Oh, I-- I think so.

Can you, Trolley?
[WHISTLING, BELLS]

-How about that
time when we were--

QUEEN SARAH: Hey, Robert Troll.

Robert Troll.

-Uh-oh.

Que-- Queen Sarah.

QUEEN SARAH: Now,
didn't we say--

ROBERT TROLL: Just
a second here.

QUEEN SARAH: --that
the trolley's place--

-Oh, Aunt Sarah, I can explain.

QUEEN SARAH: --is on the tracks?

The trolley's place
is on the tracks.

-Yes, mam.

QUEEN SARAH: Can
someone explain?

-Yes.

-Very well.

You may both come
inside and explain.

In the meantime, Trolley,
[WHISTLING] try to keep

to your schedule.
[WHISTLING, BELLS]

LADY ABERLIN:
Auntie Sarah, it was

really the most amazing thing.

[BELLS] [WHISTLE] [BELLS]

-It looks like Robert
Troll has discovered

that extra-special
something about the trolley.

We'll pretend more
about that next time.

There's a poem that I'd
like to read to you.

It's about a shadow.

It's called "My Shadow."

Where is it here?

There it is.

It's by Robert Louis Stevenson.

"I have a little shadow that
goes in and out with me.

And what can be the use of
him is more than I can see.

He is very, very like me,
from the heels up to the head.

And I see him jump before
me when I jump into my bed."

[KNOCKING] Oh, let's
see who that is.

Visitors, visitors.

Oh, it's Mr. McFeely again.

Come in, Mr. McFeely.

-Speedy delivery.

Well, when I took Jim
West to the school,

I found the tape you wanted.

-Oh.

-"How People Make Light Bulbs."

-Oh, do you have time
to stay and watch?

-I do have a few moments.

-Good, come in.

-But before we watch it--

-Thank you.

--I would like to show
you some different parts

of the light bulb.

-Oh, what is that?

-Now, this part
is the bulb part.

And this part is
the mount, "mount."

You see?

And the wire is what
lights up this part.

MR. ROGERS: This in here?

MR. McFEELY: That lights up.

Now, when you see
the tape, you won't

be able to see this go
inside because the ball

will be frosted.

MR. ROGERS: Oh, this
will be all-- all white?

MR. McFEELY: All white.

Now, this is how it works.

It goes in like that.

It begins to look a little
bit like a light bulb.

MR. ROGERS: I should say.

MR. McFEELY: So I thought
I'd show that to you first.

-Thanks.

And then will you
tell me about the--

-Yes, I'll tell you
about how light bulbs

are made, how people make them.

-Good.

Let's look at that now.

-All righty.

-On Picture Picture, "How
People Make Light Bulbs."

MR. McFEELY: When
people make light bulbs,

they start by loading
these clear, glass bulbs

onto a big machine that
puts them into a row.

MR. ROGERS: Looks like
they're sliding down a hill.

MR. McFEELY: They're
actually going

to the next part of the machine.

MR. ROGERS: This part
looks like a wheel.

MR. McFEELY: Yes, and
if you look closer,

you can see the bulbs being
gently moved off the wheel.

MR. ROGERS: Oh, yes.

MR. McFEELY: They're pushed
down so they can travel

to another part of the
machine that heats the glass.

[PIANO]

MR. ROGERS: Oh, it
heats the glass.

MR. McFEELY: It heats it.

MR. ROGERS: Looks
like they're spinning.

MR. McFEELY: That's
so the flame can heat

the whole bulb, instead
of just part of it.

MR. ROGERS: I see.

Isn't that interesting.

What's this woman doing?

MR. McFEELY: She's checking
the powder that will be sprayed

inside the bulb
to turn it white.

Now, there's the powder.

MR. ROGERS: Ah, well
that makes them look more

like the light
bulbs I use at home.

Now, that looks like what
you showed us earlier.

MR. McFEELY: That's right.

Those are the mounts that
will go inside the bulbs.

First, they get set up.

See, they're being set up.

MR. ROGERS: Mhm.

MR. McFEELY: And then the
bulbs are lowered down on them.

Incidentally, that special
wire that I showed you

is called a filament.

It's really what makes
the light bulb light up.

MR. ROGERS: Now, why are
they getting heated again?

MR. McFEELY: The
heat melts the glass

just enough to close it up.

MR. ROGERS: Oh.

This is complicated, isn't it?

MR. McFEELY: Oh,
it certainly is.

And then this part
of the machine

cuts off the bottom
part of the bulb,

which isn't needed anymore.

MR. ROGERS: Looks very hot.

MR. McFEELY: Oh, it is.

But everyone who works
there is very careful.

MR. ROGERS: Now, what are these?

MR. McFEELY: Well, each of
those is called a "base."

It's the last part that
will be added to the bulb.

[PIANO]

MR. ROGERS: Looks
like he's checking

to see if everything's
working all right.

MR. McFEELY: Exactly.

People build these
fancy machines

to put together the light bulbs.

And it takes people to make sure
these machines work just right.

MR. ROGERS: What's her job?

MR. McFEELY: She checks to
see if the finished light

bulbs look right and work right.

See, watch this.

They work right.

And this part of
the machine also

checks the light bulbs to
make sure they light up.

See, they call-- they
call it "flashing."

MR. ROGERS: Because the lights
are flashing on and off?

MR. McFEELY: That's right.

MR. ROGERS: Now It looks like
they're going down a slide.

MR. McFEELY: They are going down
a slide, right into a big bin.

There's the big bin.

And once it fills up, it's taken
over to the packaging machine.

MR. ROGERS: Look at
all those light bulbs.

MR. McFEELY: It's a
lot of light bulbs.

MR. ROGERS: They certainly
do a lot of traveling.

MR. McFEELY: Yeah, this
part of the machine

is called "the scrambler."

All the light bulbs
are put into a row.

MR. ROGERS: Oh, look at that.

That reminds me of
a merry-go-round.

MR. McFEELY: Well, that's
the light-up reel where

all the light bulbs
are checked once

more to make sure
that they work.

MR. ROGERS: Just imagine
people figuring out

how to make all these machines.

MR. McFEELY: With a lot of
hard work and imagination-- Now

the bulbs get put into boxes.

There they go into boxes.

MR. ROGERS: Oh, I see them
sliding in under there.

MR. McFEELY: Right.

And then the flaps
are being folded

down by that part
of the machine.

MR. ROGERS: Uh-huh.

MR. McFEELY: And then the
boxes are finally closed.

Closing up the
boxes-- And they're

ready for people
everywhere to use.

-I'll think of that every
time I turn on a light bulb.

Thank you, Mr. McFeely.

-You're welcome.

And I'll take the tape
back to the school library.

I'm glad I finally found it.

-I'm glad, too.

Grateful t use.

-Speedy delivery.

Bye-bye.

-Bye.

I have one more
silhouette to show you.

Silhouettes are a little
like shadows, aren't they?

You know what that is?

Silhouette of a tree.

When my sons were
little boys, I used

to tuck them into their
beds and turn off the light

and sing a little song to them.

LYRICS: Tree, tree,
tree, tree, tree, tree,

tree, tree, tree,
tree, tree, tree.

We love you.

Yes, we do.

Yes, we do.

We love you.

If you have something
or somebody you love,

you might like to
sing to them, too.

It always gives
me a good feeling

to think about children like
you loving other people.

That's what makes all of
us human beings so special,

our being able to love.

LYRICS: It's such a good
feeling to know you're alive.

It's such a happy feeling
you're growing inside.

And when you wake
up ready to say,

I think I'll make
a snappy new day.

[SNAPS] It's such a good
feeling, a very good feeling,

the feeling you know that I'll
be back when the day is new.

And I'll have more
ideas for you.

And you'll have things
you'll want to talk about.

I will, too.

-Always make it a
special day for me.

I'll be back next time.

Bye.
