## 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!

Out came the sun and dried up all the rain.

And the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again.

**Hannah:** Would you like us to write the alphabet on the chalkboard, teacher?

**Baby Bop:** Oh, yes. Please.

**Hannah:** Uh, where is it?

**Robert:** Here's some chalk. We're ready to go, Barney.

With the Alphabet Parade, you can see how words are made

Watch the letters marching in a row. (March, march!)

Every letter has its place and a very happy face.

They spell the words we know.

Watch the letters going by. You can wave "Hello", "Bye-bye".

Every letter is important. Yes, indeed.

Oh, the Alphabet Parade shows us how our words are made

And helps us learn to read.

**Baby Bop:** It's time to learn our ABCs.

A, B, C, D, E, F, G.

H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P.

Q, R, S, T, U, V.

W, X, Y, Z. Hooray!

While you're learning ABC.

Oh, the Alphabet Parade shows us how our words are made

**Barney:** Putting the letters together make up words, D-O-G spells dog

**Baby Bop:** It does?

**Barney:** and C-A-T spells cat.

**Baby Bop:** Oh, meow.

Looking at the pictures, looking at the words.

I love to read.

A brand new story or one I've heard.

I love to read.

Reading a book or a magazine

That I've never read before.

I find out what I want to know

And then I read some more.

Looking at the pictures, looking at the words.

I love to read.

A brand new story or one I've heard.

I love to read.

Reading the signs along the road

To see what they have to say.

Or reading the back of a cereal box.

Hey! I can read all day.

Looking at the pictures, looking at the words.

I love to read.

A brand new story or one I've heard.

I love to read.

I love to read, I love to read.

I love to read, I love to read.

I love to read, I love

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

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

When she holds it close, it feels just right.

She likes her yellow blankey in the day and night.

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 she holds 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.
