## 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!

**Keesha:** Barney,

Winter's wonderful; it's so beautiful.

The air is cold and clear.

Snow is sparkling,

Trees are glistening,

It's that time of year.

I love to see the icicles,

The great big snowflakes, too.

'Cause it's the wonderful season

Full of special things to do

**Barney:**

Wearing hats and coats and scarves,

Each hand has got a glove.

All our friends and family too,

Are filled with extra love.

We love to see the Christmas lights,

The decorations, too.

'Cause it's the wonderful season

Full of special things to do.

Deck the halls with boughs of holly,

Fa la la la la, la la la la.

'Tis the season to be jolly,

Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Don we now our gay apparel,

Fa la la, la la la, la la la.

Troll the ancient Yuletide carol,

Fa la la la la, la la la la.

**Baby Bop:**

See the blazing Yule before us,

Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Strike the harp and join the chorus.

Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Follow me in merry measure,

Fa la la, la la la, la la la.

While I tell of yuletide treasure,

Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Deck the halls with boughs of holly,

Fa la la la la, la la la la.

**Baby Bop:** I love Christmas time.

**Barney:**

**Kids:** The Christmas tree decorations.

**Hannah:** We have lots of helpers too.

Oh, Christmas tree, oh, Christmas tree

Your leaves are so unchanging.

Oh, Christmas tree, oh, Christmas tree

Your leaves are so unchanging.

Not only green when summer's here

But also when it's cold and drear.

Oh, Christmas tree, oh, Christmas tree

Your leaves are so unchanging.

**Barney:**

Oh, Christmas tree, oh, Christmas tree

Your candles shine so brightly.

Oh, Christmas tree, oh, Christmas tree

Your candles shine so brightly.

From base to summit gay and bright

There's only splendor for the sight.

Oh, Christmas tree, oh, Christmas tree

Your candles shine so brightly.

**Barney:**

Oh, Christmas tree, oh, Christmas tree

Your leaves are so unchanging.

Oh, Christmas tree, oh, Christmas tree

Your leaves are so unchanging.

Not only green when summer's here

But also when it's cold and drear.

Oh, Christmas tree, oh, Christmas tree

Your leaves are so unchanging.

**Robert:** Good idea.

**BJ:** Uh-oh!

Jolly Old Saint Nicholas, lean your ear this way. Don't you tell a single soul what I'm going to say.

Christmas Eve is coming soon. Now you dear old man, whisper what you'll bring to be, tell me if you can.

When the clock is striking twelve, when you're fast asleep, down the chimney broad and black, with my pack I'll creep.

All the stocking you will find, hanging in a row, mine will be the shortest one, you'll be sure to know.

Hannah wants: (A pair of skates!), Stephen wants: (A sled!), Keesha wants: (A picture book! Yellow, blue, and red!).

Now I think I'll leave to you what to give the rest. Choose for me, dear Santa Claus. You will know the best.

**BJ:** Ho, ho, ho!

**Keesha:**

**Kids:** BJ?

Dashing through the snow in a one horse open sleigh.

O'er the fields we go laughing all the way.

Bells on bobtail ring making spirits bright.

What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight.

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.

Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh.

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.

Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh.

**Barney:**

**Baby Bop:** Me, too.

**BJ:** Yeah, really big!

Dashing through the snow in a one horse open sleigh.

O'er the fields we go laughing all the way.

Bells on bobtail ring making spirits bright.

What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight.

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.

Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh.

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.

Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh.

Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh.

**BJ:** And it's already Christmas Eve!!!

**Baby Bop:** Uh-oh!

**Keesha:** How did you know all our names?

**Santa Claus:**

**Barney:** And were all the boys and girls around the world good this year?

**Santa Claus:** Even BJ.

**Baby Bop:**

Take a little look

Into Santa's book.

You'll be glad to find

He saw when you were kind.

I wrote down when you've been

A very special friend.

It's all there when you look

Into Santa's book.

Each time you did what's right,

Like being polite,

And eating your veggies

With supper at night.

When you brushed you hair,

Played games fair,

And tried to be cheerful

When you had to share.

Take a little look

Into Santa's book.

You'll be glad to find

He saw when you were kind.

I wrote down when you've been

A very special friend.

It's all there when you look

Into Santa's book.

The times you did your chores,

Held open a door,

Picked your stuff up

Off the floor.

You didn't complain

When it started to rain.

I wrote it down

Again and again!

Take a little look

Into Santa's book.

You'll be glad to find

He saw when you were kind.

I wrote down when you've been

A very special friend.

It's all there when you look (Ho, ho!)

Into Santa's book.

Look into Santa's book.

Look into Santa's book.

**Santa Claus:** Dear, I have the most wonderful surprise. Barney is on his way

**Mrs. Claus:**

We're going on a trip this winter's night

Beneath the moon so bright,

To a place of magic dreams

That's filled with Christmas joy

For every girl and boy.

There's music in the air

And presents everywhere.

I can't believe my eyes

Oh, what a big surprise.

I'm so happy we are here

'Cause Christmas is our favorite time of year

**Barney:**

**BJ & Baby Bop:** Hi!

Trucks and trains and candy canes,

Boats and planes and learning games,

Marching drums and sugar plums,

There's magic in the air.

Dresses, hats, and baseball bats,

Ribbons, dolls, and bouncing balls,

Building blocks and funny clocks,

There's toys from here to there.

**Barney:** Every kind you imagine.

There's music in the air

And presents everywhere.

I can't believe my eyes

Oh, what a big surprise.

I'm so happy we are here

'Cause Christmas is our favorite time of year

A racing car, a cool guitar,

A dancing bear, some skates to wear,

A rocking horse, who talks, of course

It's like a dream come true.

Bikes and trikes and pretty kites,

A blue kazoo, a tuba, too,

Some fancy socks, a music box,

I'm glad I'm here with you.

**Barney:** So am I.

There's music in the air

And presents everywhere.

I can't believe my eyes

Oh, what a big surprise.

I'm so happy we are here

'Cause Christmas is our favorite time,

Christmas is our favorite time of year.
