I'm trying to figure out next year how

for too much yeah and to figure that out
what I have to do is multiply 52 weeks a
year yes there are 52 weeks a year yes I
have to multiply that by the nasally 85
cents I get each week so so who can do
that I can do that yeah look 52 that's
the week's times 85 that's how much you
get 85 cents so you say 2 times 5 is 10
you carry the 1 you say Jerry it would
be a lot easier for you if you gave me a
raise to $1 a week be a lot cheaper for
me if you live next door what's that got
to do with it Charlie would you leave me

your bet you betcha
I'll teach you how to do what I propose
here goes I'll bet you I can take this
plain ordinary paper napkin and this is
indeed Ramon a plain ordinary paper
napkin and I can turn it into a napkin
that is so strong you probably won't be
able to rip it in half would you like to
see that yeah okay here I go what you do
is you roll the napkin from one corner
as tightly as you can just roll and roll
and roll - you roll the whole thing up
there and now holding this napkin to the
center see if you can rip it in half
it's very hard Oh hard to rip right and
now I bet you I can rip it in half would
you like to see that yeah here's how you
do it you wet your fingers you touch the
center of the napkin and that weakens it
you just go
[Music]
Rockabye Baby in the treetop when the
wind blows the cradle will rock when the
bough breaks the cradle will fall and if
I were a baby this is not the sort of
stuff I would want to hear at all I used
to live in a place where it was cold in
the middle of the winter you do now
uh-huh I moved and I used to feel so
sorry for the birds especially the
little birds who really needed a little
help in finding food and so I've found a
funny way to feed them you take a cookie
cutter do you have a cookie cutter most
houses have a cookie cutter even if you
don't make cookies they just seem to
come with the house I don't know why
take your cookie cutter and don't cut a
cookie cut some bread just press your
cookie cutter into the bread so that you
make shapes out of the bread and then
you can eat the rest of the bread
yourself ha ha ha ha ha because bread is
delicious
all right let me get there we go and I
should now have I do I have a piece of
bread in the shape of a star
now with the point of a pencil make a
hole hokey-pokey see the point of the
pencil coming through okay and now I'm
going to thread a thread right through
that hole and then you make a loop be
nice if I cut it off the spool first you
make a loop so that you can hang your
piece of bread from a tree the next
thing that you do there
I made a loop so I can hang it from a
tree the next thing that you do is you
spread peanut butter oh that's too much
peanut butter you spread some peanut
butter onto your store there we go and
then you take
no you don't do it on both sides
goodness then you take your star and you
roll it in birdseed I have a dish of
birdseed here and when you hang that up
it is a wonderful treat for the birds
and it's a little decorative to giving
the birds star and this means that they
won't be the song called

me
winners are not not enough when it
disappears would you like to make a not

do if you want to make a knock disappear
is make a knot that's a knot is it not
I'm gonna put it down on the table now
I'm going to pick up my paper cup and
lower my knot into the paper cup lower
it right down into the paper cup now I'm
going to say the magic words
Remy Sammy Ishkabibble and when I pull
up the string the knot has completely
disappeared you want to see why it
disappeared say yes say yes I yes that's
why you see my thumb was sticking
through a hole that I made in the back
of the cup and so when I made it not and
I will now make another knot this is
another knot is it not when I made
another knot and I lowered it into the
cup
I had my thumb sticking there right
through the knot and as I pulled the
knot unraveled against my thumb and

[Music]

[Music]
okay I'll tell you another story and
I'll tell you another teddy bear story
to Mister barely this one is for you
this is a story about the treasure
what's the treasure who can tell me very
good a treasure a treasure is something
that is really valuable well a man who
owned a toy store he owned a toy store
but he had once been a thief he had gone
to jail many times tired of so much of
his life being spent behind bars he
decided at last he wasn't going to be a
thief anymore and that's how he happened
to go into the business of selling toys
well he been in the toy business for
some years when one day our robber who
had been his friend in the days when he
too had been a thief rushed into a store
and begged him for a favor this fellow
had stolen a necklace and he pleaded
with the man behind the toy counter to
hide his treasure for him at any moment
he expected to be arrested by the police
the toy seller wanted no part of this
stolen stuff and yet he and the robber
had been friends and had spent a year
and a tiny jail cell together and so it
was that this seller of toys tore open a
teddy bear and what do you think he did
when he tore open the teddy bear
you're absolutely right he put the
treasure inside the teddy bear and then
he sewed the bear up and he placed the
teddy beside 14 other teddy bears on the
shelf
well the thief who stole the jewelry was
indeed arrested and he went to jail
where he stayed for ten years and then
one day the robber came back to the toy
store and asked for his jewels the
seller of toys went to his shelf took a
teddy bear from it and cut the teddy
bear open and in five minutes he had
ripped open 13 teddy bears without
finding the precious necklace and he
realized that mistakenly he had sold the
wrong teddy bear but to whom and when
after all 10 years it passed there's
nothing really more to tell about this
story except that somewhere in this
world somebody has a teddy bear that's
worth quite a lot of money
so if you have a teddy bear shake it and
if you hear a tiny clink or a tinkle
inside that somebody could be you let's
see you shake your teddy bears hmm
silence how about you this is the song
that does it
and yes it goes on and on my friend
some people started singing it not
knowing what it was and they'll continue
singing it is for real
[Music]
