Santa Claus must have left them there

last year when he came to our house are

you asking me to believe that Santa

takes off his clothes yes I can't

believe that are you asking me to

believe that at this moment Santa Claus

is running around and one of your beaded

gowns yes

I can't believe that Lambchop you think

that because I'm a little kid and the

big idiot no you think that because in

the little kid and the big idiot no you

think that because I'm little I'm

immature in my mind and I have no

control of my emotions well chop all

Wow can you what say it say what

what he's done what lamb chops it

there is no

well is that what you want me to say yes

dang it

that oh I was just kidding however when

Santa Claus goes down people's chimneys

he gets very dirty and so he keeps extra

suits of clothes in closets and over the

world so that he can change you're

asking me to believe that yes you think

they just because I'm little and you're

all adults you can tell me anything you

know believe it well I'm not stupid I'm

not I'm not dumb and I'm not gonna

believe something like that that you're

telling unless you're sure that's the

reason you can't I'm positive huh good

okay well then I'll mail my letter no

kidding no kidding

and what did you ask for anything what

everything yeah that's what he's got one

he's got dogs trains airplanes skate

skis Christmas trees have two coats and

shoes and socks and bats and boats and

building blocks 12 times mitten

spirochetes and little kittens

faithfulness and tennis racket sewing

kits and dinner jackets name the kid

individual s compliments of Santa Claus

once upon a time there was a fisherman

and he set out to catch a huge catfish

that nobody had been able to catch in

fact his friends bet him a good old

American dollar that he wasn't going to

catch that catfish well he was

determined and so he rode from one side

of the lake to the other and back again

searching but he couldn't find the fish

he covered all four corners of the lake

searching one corner after another but

no ties he couldn't find that great big

catfish he thought maybe it's under my

boat so he looked under the boat no fish

he even checked to make sure that his

hook was securely in the bait and just

at that moment there was a tapping on

the bottom of the boat and suddenly the

line was pulled straight and he pulled

in a cute little fish and the fish

flipped one tail on one side then it

flipped a little tail on the other side

and the fisherman said to himself out

loud hmm I wonder if I should throw this

little fish back and the fish said oh

that's a good idea

just tell them that I'm the one that got

away and do you know that's what he did

thank goodness Oh

so much for your there is no Santa Claus

story yeah I'm sorry Gian so sorry

Cherie yeah but you see a newspaper

person has to be very careful to check

his or her facts before you print

anything I'm sorry it's just that we

couldn't figure out why you had a

complete whole entire Santa suit in your

closet I'll tell you another reason

right

I have always envied Santa Claus why

because he makes so many people happy

every year yeah but he'll make us happy

every day

it's all about the oatmeal pot that

would not stop boiling now have you guys

ever seen an oatmeal pot or a pot of

stew have you Robert

oh yeah well when it goes bubbling

bubbling what does it sound like that

you can make sure you can make you just

go and you do it whenever we talk about

[Laughter]

everybody but you do that air every time

that I say alright okay or she says it

she says little pot boil what would you

do

[Music]

and here is the store once a poor girl

lived with her poor father in a town

that was so poor that nobody had

anything to eat

one day an old but good witch just

happened to be in the neighborhood and

she gave the little girl a pot telling

her will boil for you and when you say

little to you you're gonna scare her I'm

not gonna scare Selina I know her too

well for that and so sure enough as soon

as this poor little girl

buttered those magic words little pot

boil started boiling out meal and then

sure enough she uttered the magic words

little pops top and it stopped

so the poor girl took the pot home and

what did she say

[Music]

and it boiled enough oatmeal to last for

several days and then she said little

pods cap what it's not the story now

stop the plan oh that's what she said

and it stopped well one day while the

little girl was at school the little

girl's father was hungry and he shouted

and of course the pop started boiling

lots of oatmeal but he had not heard

that after saying little pot boil he had

to command the pot to stop boiling and

so over the edge of the pot boiled the

oatmeal and then it slapped over the

edge of the table and out the front door

and onto the streets and into

everybody's houses well this little girl

was on her way home from school when she

saw a great river of oatmeal flowing

through the streets and she cried out

little stop and everyone in town had to

eat their way back into their houses

yeah but nobody complained because they

weren't hungry again for months and

never again did the little girl have to

say boil which is a pity because it is

so much fun to say

little pot

this is the song that does it and yes it

goes on and on my friend some people

diving in it's not knowing what it was

and they'll continue singing it forever

just because

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]
