Well I think transportation is a wonderful idea for a show I agree It's a subject that children need to learn more

about and it's a subject that they're very interested in And we'll be talking about safety too And I'm working in the

script how important is to our safety equipment at the right times Of course Of course And uh your guest Jimmy Bassar

the race car driver You got Jimmy Bass the Well that's good Then this might be

one of our best shows ever Can we take a look at one of today's videos

yeah Vroom vroom engine goes boom boom engine go v take you right in the car

take you right in the car take you right in the car take you right in the car you

get around to town it's a cool

time everything [Applause] One minute to land Hi there Hi Billy

Everyone seems so happy today What's up i'm so excited Jimmy Vassor the famous

race car driver is coming on our show What's a race car driver it's a person who drives really fast in special cars

on racetracks I don't think I like that at all Kevin loves it He's the biggest

racing fan ever Are you working on a new model race car yes it's a Rayard Ford

Cossworth Indie car radio control It's the same kind of car Jimmy drives Wow

this sounds serious I'm so excited about Jimmy Vasser coming to the show today I

can tell you really yourself with the props Stand by We're about to roll the opening graphic Coming to you in three

two Good morning and welcome to the Kids Songs TV show The one and only show made

by kids for kids and starring kids Hi I'm Alexander Palm And I'm Christian

Wood And I'm Billy Bigle Today's show is all about things that go

or in more grown-up words transportation We'll be looking at lots of different ways to get around like cars boats

trains and planes just to name a few But before we get into all that let's check

out a cat who gets around the oldfashioned way on his four paws

I'm the kind of guy who will never settle down Where pretty girls are Well

you know that I'm all right I kiss them when I love them cuz to me they're all the same I hug them They don't even know

my name They call me the wonder Yeah the wonder I round

around Well I to go through life without a gap

I'm as happy as a clown My two survive and I'm going

nowhere Well I'm the type of guy that likes to roll around I'm never in one

place I ro from town to town When I will

fall for some girls I hop right over the fence and my tail begins to

twer Oh the wonder I'm

around Oh they call me the wonder Yeah the wonder I'm

around They call me the wonder Yeah the wonder I

[Music] What do you think i think it looks wonderful Katie you're so good at

picking new styles Thanks I put together a new outfit for you too Oh you're so

creative I never would have thought of wearing red and yellow together Well you're so creative with your questions

Everyone's so excited about Jimmy Vasser coming on the show that we're all trying harder Oh I know I just love car racing

Well to tell you the truth I like horses much better than cars What are we doing

next off we go into the wild blue yonder Cool and cue them In our next video a

very lucky kids song's kid dreams of flying a fighter jet with the Navy's Blue Angels These skilled pilots

practiced for years to be able to do this very fancy flying And as you can see their practice pays

off Off we go into the wild blue yonder

Climbing high into the clouds Here we go Making a sound like

thunder Flying high ground

Down he dies Spotting a flame from under Off with one mighty

roar It's you and me We're fine and free

Nothing will stop you as their [Music]

horse Off we go into the wild blue yonder Climbing high into the

clouds Here we go Making a sound like thunder Flying high Feeling

proud Down we dive Smelling our flame from under All with one mighty road

It's you and me We're flying free Nothing will stop the US Air

Force Nothing will stop the US

I hope Kevin gets to meet Jimmy Bass He'll really be disappointed if he doesn't I think he's a little jealous

that Janet is getting to do the interview I know he'd love to What is jealousy

it's kind of when you wish you had what someone else has H I feel that way

sometimes I bet everyone does but it's not a nice feeling Yeah the more you

think about what the other person has the worse you feel Well we better find a way to help Kevin feel better To the

host in four three two Our tribute to transportation continues with the next

song It's about trains Who wrote this stuff chris Before cars and planes came

along trains were a very popular way to get from one place to another And they still are Kids love them then and they

love them now So when the conductor yelled "All aboard the kids songs kids

were ready to take off for a fun ride on the daylight train."

Daylight train is coming It's whistling the band It'll take you all around the

world Bring you home again Get on board Children get on board Little children

get on board Little children there's room for many

more Daylight train's a good train Best train on the track No matter where you

travel it always brings you back Get on board Get on

board Get on board There's room for many more

[Music] It'll take you through the morning and through the

afternoon Devil stops running Get on board Little children get on

board Little children get little [Music]

children Get out Little children get little children Get out Little children

there's room for little children Little children

[Music]

Sometimes I wish I wasn't the director I'm always stuck here in the control room I don't get to meet the guests or be out in the studio I thought you like

being director Well most of the time I do but not today This wouldn't have anything to do with your hero Jimmy

Vasser being here in the studio today would it no not at all Coming to the host in 3 seconds Cue them and take two

About 500 years ago the only way to cross the ocean was in a boat Well that makes sense The Wright brothers didn't

start the airplane age until 1903 So anyway explorers were going back and

forth and cross the ocean in these wooden sailing boats This was before engines were invented And sometimes

explorers boats were full of gold jewels and treasures which led to pirates right

pirates were a bunch of bad guys who would rob from the good guys and steal all their treasure I'm so glad we

explained all this because in our next video the kids songs kids play at being pirates

Pirates for me I love the deep blue sea The whole Spanish won't ever be the same

I'll be the best of the pirate

kings Oh a jolly roger is what I need My crew will follow where I lead We are up

We are tough and we really know our stuff A pirates life is life for

me We're searching for treasure chest The gold and silver we like best The

balloons everywhere There's danger in the air A pirates life is life for

me All the blank is walk every day A

pirate needs time to play We hop and we pop Won't ever have enough A pirates

life is a life for me We're searching for a treasure chest The gold and silver

we like best The balloons everywhere There's danger in the air A pirates life

is a life for me Oh pirates life is a life for me I

love to sail the deep blue sea The whole Spanish won't ever be the same A pirates

life is a life for me The whole Spanish won't ever be the same A pirates life

for me I don't think I would have liked the pirate life They seem awfully mean Billy would

you stop it pirates wormy me But don't worry Billy Pirates don't exist anymore

Oh good Coming to you in three two This

next song is called Driving My Life Away And in it we see a father and son going on the road together Dad drives a big

rig with great chrome stack and shiny wheels And his son just loves to come along

Well the midnight headlights find you on a rainy night Steep grade up ahead Slow me down Making no time

but I got to keep

rollers tempo Keeping perfect with the song on the radio

But I got to keep rolling I'm driving my life

away looking for a better way for all [Music]

me Ooh I'm driving my life

away looking for a sunny

day 30 minutes Here we go Okay One coffee and

one glass There you

go Well the midnight headlights blind you on a rainy night Steep grade up

ahead Slow me down Making your time but I got to keep

[Music] rolling Ooh I'm driving my life

away looking for a better way for

[Music]

me Ooh I'm driving my life

away looking for a sunny day for me

And then I was going to ask him when he first knew he wanted to be a race car driver That's good But you could ask him

about his first race too But let's make sure we get a good strong plug for seat belts in this segment Okay Absolutely

That's at the top of my list Where's Melanie she's with Janet going over the

questions she's going to ask Jimmy I'm sorry I asked Kevin I'm really sorry you're having such a bad day I wish I

could make you happier Thanks Billy You helped a little bit already by caring You're such a good friend Really really

[Music]

Now at last as promised it's question time with Janet Bates and our special guest any car driver Jimmy Basser

Hello Jimmy Thank you very much for joining us Thanks Janet I'm glad to be here In 1992 at the Indianapolis 500 you

set a record for being the fastest rookie qualifier in the history of the race In plain English that means that in

your first Indie race you went faster than any other first timer Right That's right Janet How fast did you go well we

had a fourlap average of 222 mph Wow Well can you give us an idea of how fast that is it's about the the same as

traveling the length of a football field every second Wow How do you stay safe well most importantly is that I wear a

seatelt at all times just like you do in your family car And also I have this crash helmet It's made out of Kevlar as

it's very strong Uh it also has a radio inside that I can talk to my pit crew at

all times during the race Do you ever get worried about how dangerous it is no because I wear my

seatelt at all times and I have a helmet like this to keep me safe It takes my mind off of how dangerous it is Do you

drive fast off the track absolutely not I I mind the speed limit It's safer that

way How old were you when you first got interested in racing i started racing quarter midgets when I was 6 years old

as a kid and I've been interested in ever since Tell us about your car Well

it's a Rainard Ford Cossworth It's a yellow and black number 18 How fast will it go the top speed of the race car is

about 245 mph How big is the engine the engine's uh about the same size as as

the engine in your street car but it has 750 horsepower If you can imagine 750

horses pulling a buggy at the same time That's how strong it is Wow your outfit's really cool What's your uniform

made of it's a It's made out of Nomx It's a fire retardant material so if I get in a fire it won't burn What will

your next race be my next race will be at the Long Beach Grand Prix Well thank you very much for joining us and our

very best wishes to you on your next races All the Kids song kids will definitely be rooting for you Thank you

I sure will Melanie do you think we could ask Jimmy

to come into the booth and meet Kevin i'm happy to

ask Thank you so much for joining us today We really appreciate it I was

wondering if I could ask you to do one more thing for us Yes of course you can
