Quotes

• Mrs. Wilson: What else do have planned for this episode?
• Janet: Oh, we have a fun song that encourages kids to do their chores and teaches the days of the week at the same.
• Mr. Forbes: That sounds good. What song is that?
• Hassan: "Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush".
• Mrs. Wilson: Oh. You know, I'm just a little considered about the amount of information you're putting in the show. Do you have a guest coming in the studio today?
• Janet: Oh, yes. We have a wonderful guest, Jules Sylvester. He's bringing us some baby alligators.
• Mrs. Wilson: Perfect.
• Kevin: And we have a video on the subject.
• Mr. Forbes: Can we see it?
• Kids: Sure.

• Alexandra: Good morning and welcome to The Kidsongs TV Show.
• Christian: The only and only show made by kids.
• Alexandra: For kids.
• Christian: And starting kids.
• Alexandra: Hi. I'm Alexandra Palm.
• Christian: And I'm Christian Buenaventura.

(Billy Biggle appears)

• Billy: And I'm Billy Biggle.
• Christian: Today's show has great music videos of one of our favorite songs like "Down By the Bay" and "See You Later, Alligator".
• Alexandra: And that's exactly what I want to say to alligators.
• Billy: What?
• Alexandra: "See You Later Alligator". I don't like alligators. Not one bit.
• Christian: Oh, I didn't know that. Our next video "Fiddle-I-Dee" has lots of animals. Maybe you'll like them better.

• Alexandra: Coming up next, we've got a song that's been around for centuries.
• Christian: For you little guys, that means hundreds of years.
• Alexandra: It's about a different chore that kids can do every day of the week.
• Christian: Please, don't give my folks any ideas.
• Alexandra: (giggles) Watch as our friend the scarecrow meets the Kidsongs Kids in...
• Hosts: (singing) "Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush".

• Billy: Hi, everyone!
• Melane: Boy, are we glad to see you.
• Billy: Well I'm glad to see you, too. What's up?
• Janet: There's a baby alligator loose in the studio.
• Billy: How delightful.
• Janet: It's not delightful. It's a disaster. We have a segment coming up in just a few minutes that we need her for, and Alex is absolutely terrifed of reptiles.
• Billy: Well then, we'll just have to find her.

• Christian: I think the drums are the most fun instruments to play.
• Alexandra: I love to play the piano.
• Christian: While we're on the subject of music, I think it's time go visit Kidsongs' one and only maestro: the somewhat silly, the often outrageous, the utterly unforgetable...
• Hosts: Professor Majorchord
• Alexandra: In "Come Join the Band".

• Mark: Oops! We're on the air.
• Janessa: What are we doing?
• Mark: Intro to "Down By The Bay". And cue!
• Christian: This next video is really fun and really silly. I hope it makes you laugh.
• Alexandra: I need a laugh. It's called "Down By the Bay".

• Billy: Where you scared?
• Alexandra: Really scared.
• Billy: That's OK. Lots of kids are scared of reptiles and in some ways, it's good that they are.
• Alexandra: It's good that I was scared?
• Billy: Yes. It's good to be scared about things that are dangerous and alligators are dangerous.
• Alexandra: So I shouldn't feel stupid about being so freaked out.
• Billy: Not at all. Lots of kids are scared of lots of things.
• Janessa: I'm still scared of the dark, so I leave the light on in my closet.
• Billy: That's great, Janessa. You found a way of delaing with your fear.
• Alexandra: Well, the only way I can live with my fear of alligators is to avoid them.
• Billy: That's a very good solution, too. And it also might help you to learn more about them.

• Alexandra: Well, that's our show for today.
• Christian: Thank you for watching the only show.
• Alexandra: Made by kids.
• Christian: For kids.
• Alexandra: And starting kids.

(Billy Biggle appears)

• Billy: Hey, don't forget me. Billy Biggle!
• Hosts & Billy: See-ya!
• Camera/Floor Crew: See-ya!
• Mrs. Wilson: Very good show, children. I am very pleased and those videos were execellent.
• Mr. Forbes: And everything seemed to run so smoothly.
• Control Room Crew: Smoothly?!
