## 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!

Let someone share with you.

If there's just enough for 1,

Take turns and share the fun.

The more we share together,

As I was out walking

One morning for pleasure

I saw a young cowboy come riding along

His hat was thrown back

And his spurs were a-jangling

And as he approached he was singing this song:

Whoopie Ty-yi-yo! Get along little Doggies

It's your misfortune and none of my own

Whoopie Ty-yi-yo! Get along little Doggies

For you know Wyoming will be your new home!

Oh give me a home

Where the buffalo roam

Where the deer and the antelope play!

Where seldom is heard,

A discouraging word,

And the skies are not cloudy all day!

Home, home on the range!

Where the deer and the antelope play!

Where seldom is heard

A discouraging word,

And the skies are not cloudy all day!

Home, home on the range!

Where the deer and the antelope play!

Where seldom is heard

A discouraging word,

And the skies are not cloudy all day!

Yee-haw!

As I was walking down the street, Down the street, down the street,

A pretty little gal I chanced to meet, Oh, she was fair to see.

Buffalo Gals, won't you come out tonight, Come out tonight, come out tonight.

Buffalo Gals, won't you come out tonight And dance by the light of the moon.

I asked her if she'd like to dance, like to dance, like to dance,

i asked her "would you like to dance?" as she stood close to me.

Buffalo Gals, won't you come out tonight, Come out tonight, come out tonight.

Buffalo Gals, won't you come out tonight And dance by the light of the moon.

Buffalo Gals, won't you come out tonight, Come out tonight, come out tonight.

Buffalo Gals, won't you come out tonight And dance by the light of the moon.

We've got lots and lots of shoes and they're really, really neat

With so many kinds to choose when we put them on our feet.

And they always come in twos.

We've got shoes.

In the morning, we will always wear our slippers.

And when we're swimming, we can put on flippers.

Shoes for jogging 'cause we really love to run.

And when we're at the beach, we wear sandals in the sun.

Mukluks keep our feet toasty when we nap.

And tap shoes are fun. When you dance, you hear them tap.

We've got lots and lots of shoes and they're really, really neat

It's been great fun, you know,

Puttin' on a show.

It's been great fun, you know,

Puttin' on a show.

Now, I'm in the spotlight,
