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.
