## Transcript

Barney is a dinosaur

From our imagination,

And when he's tall, he's what we call

A dinosaur sensation!

Barney lives with Michael and

With Amy, then you'll soon see

Little Tina tags along

With her big sister Luci

Derek is in Barney's club

And Adam has a ticket

But Mom has never seen him,

'Cause she doesn't know our secret

Barney comes to play with us

Whenever we may need him.

Barney can be your friend too,

If you just make-believe him!

**Tina:** I like flying kites, and batting balls,

riding bikes, and playing dolls.

But, I wish there were school every day.

In school, I go and hear great books

about all sorts of things.

I play with clay and build with blocks,

as I laugh and sing!

I like hide-and-seek and making cakes,

playing tag and rollerskates.

But, I wish there were school every day.

In school, I make all kinds of friends

and play in centers too.

Oh, nothing's quite as special as my school!

I like painting pictures, swinging high,

and running down hills, watch birds fly.

But, I wish there were school every day.

Yes, I wish there were school every day.

**Tina:** I know it's Saturday, Barney, but, I wish you could see my school. There are so many neat things I wanna show you. I wish there was school everyday.

**Barney:** Wish. Wish. Did I hear someone say wish?

**Tina:** Barney! Oh, Barney, you heard me.

**Barney:** I sure did, Tina. I'm so glad you wanted to show me your school. What do you do here?

**Barney:** Not for long.

Look through the window and who do you see?

It's Adam, and Derek, looking at me

Look through the window and who do you see?

It's Amy, and Luci, looking at me

Look through the window and who do you see?

It's Michael, silly Michael, looking at me

Hello, hello, hello and how are you?

I'm fine, I'm fine, and I hope that you are too.

Hello, hello, hello and how are you?

I'm fine, I'm fine, and I hope that you are too.

**Tina:** We're all here.

**Luci:** Yeah!

**Amy:** I remember when I was in this classroom.

**Luci:** Yeah. We had so much fun.

**Adam:** Hey. Look at the hamster.

**Derek:** His name is Zippity.

**Barney:** Oh, come on, Derek.

**Barney:** You're a grand old flag

You're a high flying flag

And forever in peace may you wave.

**All:** 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 never a boast or brag.

But, should auld acquaintance be forgot,

keep your eye on the grand old flag!

**Luci:** Tina, let's do the calendar song.

**Tina:** OK.

**Luci:** Everybody, sit down and I'll teach it to you.

**Kids:** OK.

There are seven days,

Now I know my ABC's

School is such a great place to be.

We're as happy as can be!

**Michael:** I have a favorite song, too. It's the weather song.

**Barney:** Why don't you be the teacher Michael and show us how it goes.

**Michael:** Okay, everybody. Let's get our weather masks.

What comes up at the break of day?

Brightly shines while we sing and play.

In the evening, what goes away.

It's the sun, sun, sun.

What falls down out of the sky?

Splashing down from up so high.

Makes things wet that once we're dry.

It's the rain, rain, rain.

What makes winter look so white

And falls down softly through the night.

Very cold and oh so light,

It's the snow, snow, snow.

What blows by, but can't be seen?

And makes noise on the window screen.

When it hits the trees, they lean.

It's the wind, wind, wind.

**Barney:** Weather, weather what is the weather? What will the weather kids say today?

**Kids:** We say it's sunny!

1-2-3-4-5

Once I caught a fish alive.

6-7-8-9-10

Then, I let it go again.

Why did you let him go?

Because he bit my finger so!

Which finger did he bite?

This little finger on the right!

1-2-3-4-5

Once I caught a fish alive.

6-7-8-9-10

Then, I let it go again.

Why did you let him go?

Because he bit my finger so!

Which finger did he bite?

This little finger on the right!

**Barney:** It's round like this.

Can you find a shape like this and tell me what it's name is?

Here's another one.

Here's another one.

Here's another one.

And these are all called circles!

**Barney:**

Can you find a shape like this and tell me what it's name is?

Here's another one.

Here's another one.

Here's another one.

And these are all called squares!

**Barney:** Okay. Now,

Can you find a shape like this and tell me what it's name is?

Here's another one.

Here's another one.

Here's another one.

And these are all called triangles!

Alligator pie, alligator pie.

If I don't get some, I think I'm gonna die!

Give away the green grass. Give away the sky.

But don't give away my alligator pie!

Alligator stew, alligator stew.

If I don't get some, I don't know what I'll do.

Give away my furry hat. Give away my shoe.

But don't give away my alligator stew.

Alligator soup, alligator soup

If I don't get some, I think I'm gonna droop.

Give away my hockey stick. Give away my hoop.

But don't give away my alligator soup!

**Barney:** I'm coming!

When you hug red and yellow, it makes orange.

When you hug red and yellow, it makes orange.

When you hug these two, you see a new color magically.

When you hug red and yellow, it makes orange.

**Barney:** I get it.

When you hug blue and yellow, it makes green.

When you hug blue and yellow, it makes green.

When you hug these two, you see a new color magically.

When you hug blue and yellow, it makes green.

When you hug blue and red, it makes purple.

When you hug blue and red, it makes purple.

When you hug these two, you see a new color magically.

When you hug blue and red, it makes purple.

**Adam:**

**Luci:** And I've made green like your tummy.

What I want to be, what I want to be

When I grow up to be big me.

What I want to be, what I want to be

Is a policeman or a firefighter.

Each day I work, what fun it would be.

I'll always do my responsibility.

I'll do what I do so carefully

When I grow up to be big me.

What I want to be, what I want to be

When I grow up to be big me.

What I want to be, what I want to be

Is a doctor or a ballerina.

Each day I work, what fun it would be.

I'll always do my responsibility.

I'll do what I do so carefully

When I grow up to be big me.

What I want to be, what I want to be

When I grow up to be big me.

What I want to be, what I want to be

Is a chef, chef, chef.

Each day I work, what fun it would be.

I'll always do my responsibility.

I'll do what I do so carefully

When I grow up to be big me.

(Cheering and applause)

**Tina:**

**Barney:** Say the magic words with me.

**All:** Shimbaree, Shimbarah, Shimbaree, Shimbarah.

If all the raindrops were lemon drops and gumdrops

Oh, what a rain that would be

Standing outside with my mouth open wide

Ah Ah-ah Ah Ah-ah Ah Ah-ah Ah

If all the raindrops were lemon drops and gumdrops

Oh, what a rain that would be

**Barney:** I like that song. Let's do it again with snowflakes.

If all the snowflakes were candy bars and milkshakes

Oh, what a snow that would be

Standing outside with my mouth open wide

Ah Ah-ah Ah Ah-ah Ah Ah-ah Ah

If all the snowflakes were candy bars and milkshakes

Oh, what a snow that would be

**Michael:** You forgot the name of the show. It's called The Three Bears.

One day, Goldilocks was walking in the woods

You could tell by her looks, she was up to no good

She found the empty bears' home and smiled as she said,

"I think I'll try some porridge, a chair and a bed."

Uh-oh! Uh-oh!

The bears came back and were they surprised

Papa Bear said, "I can't believe my eyes!"

Mama Bear said, "Our porridge! My chair!"

"There's someone in my bed with curly blond hair!"

Oh no! Oh no!

The little girl sat straight up in the bed

"I better leave before I lose my head."

Mama Bear said, "Let's avoid this uproar."

"Next time we leave, we'll lock the door."

Oh yes! Oh yes!

Oh yes! Oh yes!

Oh yes! Oh yes!

(Cheering and applause)

**Adam:** Hey, you guys. Come look

**Barney:** But, I guess. It's time to go home.

**Amy:** That's right, Tina.

Goodbye, (**Barney:** Goodbye) goodbye, (**Barney:** Goodbye)

We won't be gone for long.

Goodbye, (**Barney:** Goodbye) goodbye (**Barney:** Goodbye)

This is our goodbye song.

Goodbye, (**Barney:** So long, kids) goodbye (**Barney:** See you next time)

We won't be gone for long.

Goodbye, goodbye

This is our goodbye song.

**All:** Shimbaree, Shimbarah, Shimbaree, Shimbarah.

**Tina:** Oh, Barney. Thank you for a wonderful Saturday. I'm gonna take you to school for show-and-tell 'cause you're my special friend.

I love you, you love me.

We're as happy as can be.

Here's a great big kiss

And a hug from me to you,

Won't you say you love me, too?
