called Harmony

[Music]

harmony you got to have

harmony there's nothing like the special

feeling that comes from

harmony living in

harmony and when we are all

together and sing life is better harmony

there's a time for learning what you got

to

know everything's so

new when you're starting to

grow even if you fall you got to get up

try

again it's only getting

easier because you got your friends

harmony you got to have

harmony there's nothing like special

feeling that comes from

harmony we believe in

harmony and when we are all

together singing life is better in

harmony

everything seems

big when you're so

small but one day seems it's going to

change as you start to get

tough try and do your best as you face

each and every day

all it takes is that first step to get

you on your

way oh

i really don't know how we're going to

put the information Mrs wilson wants

into the show i'm sure you'll find a way

hey I've got an idea and Billy can help

us how well since you don't know a lot

about our world why don't you ask us

some questions about the videos and

we'll find out the answers oh I always

have lots of questions this is going to

be easy where's Melanie she's in with

Chris and Janet working on the rewrites

they have a lot to do and not much time

i hope they get it done we sure don't

want to disappoint Miss Wilson you can

say that again 5 seconds remaining on

the clip stand by to cue the host in 3 2

and cue them this next song is about the

difference between raccoons possums and

rabbits i guess that's why it's called

raccoon and possum i wonder why they

left the bunny out of the title the

bunny is so cute i think it's neat the

way the raccoon washes his food i've

never seen another animal do that we

think you'll like it too so let's watch

goes there rabbit's got no tail at all

just a little bunch of hair

[Music]

see the funny things he does he looks

just like a

[Music]

clown psome up an apple tree raccoon on

the ground raccoon says to you shake

them apples

down raccoon says "Would you like to

share my food?" Raccoons and they'll

watch it first to make it taste so

good raccoon's got a bushy tail psome's

tail goes bear rabbit's got no tail at

all just a little bunch of hair

raccoon's got a bushy tail psome's tail

goes bear rabbit's got no tail at all

just a little bunch of hair

[Music]

so how come and she'll be coming around

the mountain the kids song's kids are in

a wagon pulled by horses because they

didn't have cars yet i've got it

can you fly this in to Christian and

Alexandra you bet billy Biggle to the

rescue changes for you delivered by

Billy Bigle Express coming to you in

five four three two and cue them this

next song was written in the 1800s at

that time the only way people got around

was by horse or by leg power lake power

yeah walking or riding a bike what about

cars nope the gasoline powered car was

invented in 1885 in Germany by Carl

Friedrich Benz and didn't become popular

until 1903 when the American Henry Ford

introduced his famous Model T it was

cheap enough that lots of people could

buy them so let's go back in time to the

1800s and join the Kids songs kids as

they travel in a horsedrawn wagon she'll

be coming around the

mountains she'll be coming around the

mountain when she comes she'll be coming

[Music]

she'll be coming around she'll be coming

around mountain she'll be coming down

the mountain when she comes

are Chris Janet and Melanie going to

rewrite the whole show i think so mrs

wilson was very serious about us putting

more information in what's after this

video grind old flag in this video we

show lots of American flags from the

very first flag to the one we have today

Chris that's what you can write about

sure thing what's a flag well every

country has one it has the symbols of

the country on them don't you have a

flag in Big Land i don't think so are

all those pretty things flags yes h

maybe we should have a flag in big land

here you go Billy air mail please at

your service

here you go i'll be back

soon in 5 4 3 2 this next song is called

Grand Old Flag it was written about the

American flag otherwise known as Old

Glory Stars and Stripes Stars Spangled

Banner Old Red White and Blue betsy Roth

sold the first flag in 1776 when America

was born it had only 13 stars on it one

for each colony the colonies became

states and every time more states join

the American flag has to be redesigned

today's flag has 50 stars on it

representing the states and 13 stripes

to remind us of the original 13 colonies

and as the song says she's a grand old

flag you're a grand old flag you're a

highf flying flag and forever in peace

may you wear you're the emblem

of the land I

love the home of the free and the

brave every heart beats true neath the

red white and blue where there's a post

or

break should old acquaintance be forgot

keep your eye on the grand

the grand old flag

[Music]

you're a grand old flag you're a highf

flying flag and forever in peace may you

wave

you're the emblem of the land I love the

home of the free and the

brave every heartbeat need the red white

and blue where there's never a ghost or

brave but should all the greatness be

keep your eye on the grand old flag

keep your eye on the

red flag

into the intros it's interesting i like

it too but the important question is

will Mrs wilson like it i sure hope so

stand by to cue the host in three two

and cue them this next song was

originally an English folk song many

English folk songs have become popular

kids songs like Here We Go Around the

Malberry Bush and London Bridge is

Falling Down did you know that America

was once a part of England yes that's

true until 1776 when we won the w*r and

became the United States of America just

think if it had stayed English we would

all be talking with English oxins now

songs which we enjoy to this day

teaches people about boating safety what

are some of the things kids can do when

they are on a boat to make it safe and

get out on a boat the kids should also

wear a life jacket make sure it's the

life jacket's worn properly and make

sure it fits also when you get on a boat

the kids should know how to use a radio

have a radio on board and make sure you

know how to use it in case you have to

call for help and also know how to steer

the boat and turn it off in case of an

emergency how can we learn more about

boating safety if anybody wants to learn

about boating safety just call your

local Coastg Guard office and they can

help you out finding out all the

regulations and all the safety tips i
