## Transcript

Barney is a dinosaur

From our imagination,

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

A dinosaur sensation!

Barney's friends are big and small;

They come from lots of places.

After school they meet to play

And sing with happy faces

Barney shows us lots of things

Like how to play pretend,

ABC's and 123s

And how to be a friend.

Barney comes to play with us

Whenever we may need him.

Barney can be your friend too,

If you just make-believe him!

**Curtis:** Here's a red hat and it's round.

**Kim:** Great. What else do we need to find?

**Ashley:** Let's see. Now, we need to find two more round things.

The sun is shining in a beautiful way.

I look down, and what do I see?

Three little daffodils waving at me.

One, two, three,

on a beautiful day out in the sun.

But I look up and what do I see?

Nine little clouds drifting over me.

One, two, three.

Everybody's running, where did they go?

Do they know something I don't know?

Drip, drop, drip. Well, what I do I see?

Ten little raindrops falling on me.

**Curtis:** Uh-oh!

**Robert:** We'll be back as soon as we can.

**Kristen:** Me, too, books are great.

**Barney:**

You can have an adventure in a far-away land.

You can learn about a tuba in a marching band.

You can travel through the stars or the deep blue sea.

When you learn to borrow books from the library.

But please, don't be loud. (Shh!)

So that everyone here can read.

You will be proud

When you take a book home from the library.

You can have an adventure in a far-away land.

You can learn about a tuba in a marching band.

You can travel through the stars or the deep blue sea.

When you learn to borrow books from the library.

But please, don't be loud. (Shh!)

So that everyone here can read.

You will be proud

When you take a book home from the library.

You can have an adventure in a far-away land.

You can learn about a tuba in a marching band.

You can travel through the stars or the deep blue sea.

When you learn to borrow books from the library.

When you learn to borrow books from the library.

A gaggle of giggling wiggling geese

Came galloping through the grass.

On their way to the farmer's house

To teach a ballet class.

And there before their very eyes

Stood every animal.

Cows, pigs, sheep, chicks

And even Mr. Bull.

To do the gaggling giggling wiggle.

Come on, here's your chance.

Everyone can do.

The gaggle, giggle, wiggle dance.

So start by putting hands together,

Take them way up to the sky,

Stand up on your tippy toes.

Here we go now. Don't be shy.

Wiggle to the left, wiggle to the right,

Wiggle back and forth with all your might.

See? You can do it. I know you could.

Now wiggle waggle, wiggle waggle really, really good.

Let's do the gaggling giggling wiggle.

Come on, here's your chance.

Everyone can do

The gaggle, giggle, wiggle dance.

Let's giggle gaggle, wiggle waggle.

Giggle giggle, gaggle gaggle, wiggle wiggle, waggle waggle.

Giggle gaggle, wiggle waggle.

One more time!

The gaggling giggling wiggle.

Come on, here's your chance.

Everyone can do

The gaggle, giggle, wiggle dance.

The gaggle, giggle, wiggle dance.

**Baby Bop:** Pretty number

I like my blankey. It's very, very yellow

I like it even better than a bowl of Jell-O.

When I hold it close, it feels just right.

I like my yellow blankey in the day and night.

My blankey is so special and very, very yellow.

I like to keep it with me when I say "Hello".

When I hold it close, it feels just right.

I like my yellow blankey in the day and night.

My blankey feels so soft like a big marshmallow.

But I like it most because it's oh, so yellow.

When I hold it close, it feels just right.

I like my yellow blankey in the day and night.

I like my yellow blankey in the day... and... night.

Some are really big and some are itty bitty.

They roar and meow and they look so pretty.

Here, kitty kitty cat. Here, kitty kitty.

That cat loves to stretch and sleep.

Little Bo-Peep has lost her sheep,

and doesn't know where to find them.

Leave them alone, and they'll come home

wagging their tails behind them.

Little boy blue, come blow your horn.

The sheep's in the meadow.

The cow's in the corn.

Where's the boy who looks after the sheep?

He's under the haystack fast asleep!

I had a little hen, the prettiest seen

She washed the dishes, and kept the house clean

She went to the mill to fetch some flour

She brought it home in less than an hour

She baked me bread, brought me mail

She sat by the fire and told a fine tale

I had a little hen the prettiest seen

She washed the dishes and kept the house clean.

Hickety, pickety, my fine hen

She lays eggs for gentlemen

Gentlemen come everyday

To see what my fine hen doth lay

Sometimes nine, sometimes ten

Hickety, pickety, my fine hen

Sometimes nine, sometimes ten

Hickety, pickety, my fine hen

**Booker T.:** Sometimes nine, sometimes ten, hickety, pickety, my fine hen

**Barney:** Okay.

**Stella's Dozen Cousins:** Toodles.

**Baby Bop:** Bye-bye, everybody!

**Curtis:**

My mommy has a mother, too. But I just call her Gran.

I love to go and visit her as often as I can.

In our family

Happy as can be

I'm so glad that she belongs to my family.

Many people tell me I look like cousin Jim.

We're about the same age so I like to play with him.

In our family

Happy as can be

I'm so glad that he belongs to my family.

**Barney:**

Some cousins live real close to me. And others far away.

If I could, I'd see them all each and every day.

When we're all together, we're quite a sight to see.

It makes me glad that I belong to our family.

In our family

Happy as can be

I'm so glad that I belong to my family.

I'm so glad that I belong to my family.

I love you, you love me.

We're a happy family.

With a great big hug

And a kiss from me to you,

Won't you say you love me too?

**Barney:**

I love you, you love me,

We're best friends,

With a great big hug,

And a kiss from me to you,

Won't you say you love me too?
