Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Bob, Elmo, and the kids are going to sing "London Bridge," with Bob playing his portable keyboard. Elmo has invited someone else to join them - Monty, who doesn't quite understand the lyrics despite hailing from London himself. He thinks the lyrics have the bridge doing different actions ("London Bridge is jumping up, jumping up, jumping up...") until Elmo gives him a hint. He gets the first part right, but now has trouble with the remaining part.
