just a little I've tried it with tennis

ba*ls and I could do it for about 2

minutes and then I mess up Same for me

but it'd be fun to learn how Maybe we'll

pick up some pointers from Chip Low when

he comes in I can juggle You can yep I'm

really good at it I'll show you after

the show Cool Strawing skewed Hey guys

where does an elephant sit when it goes

to the movies where i don't know

Anywhere it wants to

Cue the host and it's back to the circus

Our next song is about a baby elephant

and it's mommy and one incredibly lucky

kid songs kid who got to ride the

elephant And he didn't just ride it he

let the elephant lift him up with his

tusk for real no tricks So let's check

out mommy and baby elephant as they go

strolling through the park one day While

we're on the subject of elephants how

can you tell if one has been in your

refrigerator how by the footprint in

your pizza

[Music]

One day in the merry merry month of

May I was taken by surprise by a pair of

brokish eyes I was scared but I didn't

run away

He walked along so

[Music]

gently moving as graceful as can

[Music]

[Applause]

be His legs were like the trunks of

trees I hardly came up to his

knees He looked at me again and I didn't

regret He's just a little bigger than me

Happy baby

too About as old as me and

you Maybe soon one day we could all go

out and play and be friends with the

elven in the

park You walked along so

diling as graceful as can be

I thought I did a lot of things From the

ark to Colorado

Springs from his tail to his trunk From

the back up to the front The elephant is

so

astonishing This elephant is so

astonishing

The elephant is so astonishing

[Music]

I'd really like to know a bit more about

juggling for my intro to Chip Roll Let's

see In this book it says that in ancient

China they used to juggle big boxes with

their feet How did they do that and look

here's the picture of the Chinese circus

today Wow they still do it Wow that

means they've been doing it for

thousands of years And look in Fiji

warriors juggle fire Gosh this is

exciting Intro to Polly in 5 4 3 2 In

our next video the kids song kids get a

private juggling demonstration backstage

at the circus These clowns are really

good jugglers Which reminds me right

after this clip we'll be bringing out

Chip Lola who will dazzle us with his

juggling

skills Oh I went down south for to see

my S play all the day My Sally is a

spunky gown play all the day Oh Sally is

Ken we got the question key and ready to

We are pleased that today's guest Chip

LOL is going to give us a juggling

lesson right here in the studio right

now on Question Time with Janet Bates

Thank you Christian Thank you Alexander

Let's welcome juggler extraordinaire

Chip Roll Good morning Chip Hey good

morning Janet How you doing how are good

how are you pretty good And you good

Good Is it true that you were born in

the circus yep That's the truth I was

born in the circus and I stayed with

circuses till I was about oh 15 16 years

old Did your parents work for the circus

uh absolutely My dad was a clown and my

mom was an aerialist up on the trapeze

and things and she also did an act that

uh she hung by her teeth How old were

you when you performed let's see The

first time I performed was about 6 years

old and my job was to do this and just

point to people as they did tricks cuz I

couldn't do any tricks at that time And

then when I was about 10 years old I

started clowning and also doing some

juggling Do you enjoy being a juggler

yeah it's a lot of fun You get to uh

juggle all types of things Uh it's sort

of a

challenge like uh like the juggling

clubs

[Music]

Just a

minute I think that's for you

No it's not Wrong number

What advice do you have for the kids

that want to be jugglers well number one

lots of practice Lots of practice And

then when you think you you've done

enough more practice because even I will

drop every so often What other things

can you juggle well you can pretty much

juggle anything you know not only ba*ls

or clubs uh things you may find around

the house Uh one of my favorite things

to juggle is a

hat what we call hat

manipulations Lot of creative things

that you can do

[Music]

Thank you Can you teach me how to juggle

sure You know one of the easiest ways to

start out is with juggling scarves So if

you want to start out with these it's a

lot easier to find the juggling pattern

Throwing one up this way one up this way

and then when they fall down you catch

them in your hands One two catch catch

See why don't you give it a try with one

throw it up in the air and back down You

see how much time you have i tell you

what we're going to go right on to two

Why don't you throw them up one two

catch catch That's it One two catch

catch Wow that's great I did it Yeah And

one of the neat things you can do then

is go on to three And that's where the

juggling pattern starts really showing

up Sort of a figure eight

pattern And if you don't have scars at

home you can certainly use rolled up

socks cuz they won't uh bounce or roll

away from you Practice right over your

bed so you don't have to bend over and

hurt your back But that's probably one

of the easiest ways to learn Can you do

something else for us sure Uh you know

what why don't you hold on to those four

boxes for me okay I'll take these

[Music]

boxes All righty Okay your turn No

you're doing great Let me put this one

up here on top All righty Let me

straighten them out just a little bit

Your job Janet is to very carefully hand

me those boxes

Okay great Thank you very much We'll put

this one up here Just like that Next box

if you would please Wonderful There we

go All right box number 12 Thank you

This is 13 I'm kidding You're doing

great All right here we go Last and

final

box Very carefully if you would please

All righty Thank you Jana Take a

bow Very good Here we go The balance on

the chin Watch close

[Music]

Hey there we are Oh thank you Thank you

Thank you very much It's been fun It's

been a lot of fun and a pleasure And a

pleasure

Okay g*ng Let's

practice I think we better keep working

on this

Hm Not quite as easy as it looks You can

say that again Well I won't Maybe this

next song will inspire us to stick with

it till we're good at it Is it you know
