[THEME MUSIC]

-Hey!

[PLAYING THEME MUSIC ON KAZOO]

-[SINGING]Would you be mine?

Could you be mine?

It's a neighborly day
in this beauty hood.

A neighborly day for a beauty.

Would you be mine?

Could you be mine?

I have always wanted to have
a neighbor just like you.

I've always wanted to live
in the neighborhood with you.

So let's make the most
of this beautiful day,

since we're together we might
as well say, would you be mine?

Could you be mine?

Won't you be my neighbor?

Won't you please?

Won't you please?

Please, won't you
be my neighbor?

Hey, neighbor.

Did you hear me
playing the kazoo?

That's what this is, a kazoo.

And anybody who can
hum can play a kazoo.

[PLAYING KAZOO]

I thought we could make believe
that today is Cornflake S.

Pecially's birthday and some
people could be playing kazoos.

[PLAYING KAZOO]

Now Let's go out to the
kitchen for the next part.

I've been thinking a
lot about this birthday.

Here are some things in my craft
box here to make a party hat.

I have a big circle
in here somewhere.

Here it is.

I'm going to make
a hat out of this.

I'll just cut right
up the middle.

You know what I
could do first is

to make some decorations on it.

Make it a very special day.

And then just go like
this to make the hat.

Get some tape to
hold it together.

Maybe put something
through there.

Oh, here's one of these
things-- fuzzy things.

If you decorate a
hat your own way,

everybody's will be different
from everybody else's.

-[SINGING]Happy
Birthday, Happy Birthday,

dear friend, we sing to you.

Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday,
Happy Birthday to you.

Let's see who's at the door.

See if I can walk
with this hat on.

Oh, it's Mr. McFeely.

Come in, Mr. McFeely.

-Special delivery.

Well, you look fancy today.

-Talking about birthdays.

-Well, I found it.

-Oh, How People Make Kazoos.

Do you have time to
watch it with me?

-I have a few minutes
before my next delivery.

-Oh, good.

Come on in and tell
us about it, will you?

-Alrighty, I'll tell
you all about it.

Put it in the Picture Picture.

-Oh yes, I will.

Put the hat on the plant.

Thank you.

How People Make Kazoos.

Great.

I wondered how that process was.

How People Make Kazoos.

MR. MCFEELY: When people make
kazoos, the first thing they do

is cut out the main parts
from a thin sheet of tin.

MR. ROGERS: Oh, looks a
little like a cookie cutter.

MR. MCFEELY: Yes, it does.

Now there are the cut out parts.

She's taking them
out of the machine.

MR. ROGERS: What will
she do with them?

MR. MCFEELY: Well, she
just sets them aside.

MR. ROGERS: Lots of parts there.

MR. MCFEELY: Lots of parts.

Now this woman puts
the flat pieces

that were cut out into this
machine which forms them

into the top part of the kazoo.

MR. ROGERS: Oh, yeah.

MR. MCFEELY: There they go.

MR. ROGERS: Now each
one of those flat pieces

is going to become one of these?

MR. MCFEELY: That's right.

Now the next step is
to add the caplet,

and that's what she's doing.

MR. ROGERS: Caplet?

MR. MCFEELY: Caplet, with a C.
She puts it on and then places

it into a machine which presses
it on and then flips it out.

Here she's doing it again.

Flips it out!

And there they are.

MR. ROGERS: So then the
whole top part is finished.

MR. MCFEELY: Well, almost.

Here's where the top and the
bottom parts of the kazoo

are put together.

She gets the parts ready.

Now watch what happens.

MR. ROGERS: Oh, so that machine
pushed the parts together.

MR. MCFEELY: That's right.

And that's why they call
that machine the pusher.

MR. ROGERS: Now
what's she doing?

MR. MCFEELY: Well, this
is one of the last things

they need to do.

Do you see those
little round pieces?

MR. ROGERS: Yes.

MR. MCFEELY: They're
called resonators.

And they help to
make the kazoo sound.

She puts one into each
kazoo and screws on the cap.

And she checks it carefully.

And there you have
finished kazoos!

MR. ROGERS: Isn't
that interesting?

Thank you very
much, Mr. McFeely.

MR. MCFEELY: You are welcome.

MR. ROGERS: Have you
ever played a kazoo?

MR. MCFEELY: As
a matter of fact,

I have one right
here in my pocket.

And I can play--

[PLAYING KAZOO]

-[SINGING]Speedy
delivery to you.

-Yes, that's what
I'll say right now.

I have more deliveries to do.

-You bring a lot of joy with
your deliveries, Mr. McFeely.

-Well, thank you.

[PLAYING KAZOO]

-Speedy delivery!

-Bye bye!

-Bye bye, Mr. McFeely.

[PLAYING KAZOO]

-Before we have
some make believe,

I want to do one more thing
about this birthday business.

Let's see.

I'll use this paper
and my crayon.

I want to write to words.

Print them with big letters.

You know what these
two words are?

Happy Birthday.

OK.

Now let's get the trolley.

This is a special day.

I'll see you later, fish.

OK, trolley.

Let's pretend that
today is really

Cornflake S.
Pecially's birthday.

He doesn't think that
anybody remembers,

and that's why he put a big
question mark on his factory.

Well, everybody's getting
ready to surprise him

on his extra special
day as the trolley goes

into the neighborhood
of make-believe.

[THEME MUSIC]

-Oh, isn't this
exciting, Lady Aberlin?

-Oh, yes.

I hope Corny likes everything.

-I wonder if you could
help me with the kazoo.

-Of course, Aunt Sara.

-Not quite sure I
can do it just right.

I'll try.

-Now simply hum something.

[PLAYING KAZOO]

-That's very good.

-Well, that's fun, yes.

A fairly simple musical--
Oh, look who's here.

-Oh, yes, hi Tuesday.

-Hello, Tuesday, dear.

You know, you look
happier, cousin Tuesday.

-Oh, I am.

-I'm glad for you.

-What helped you
to be happier, son?

-I found out that people
think I'm special for what's

inside me, not for
my cape and all that.

-I loved you, dear, before
you ever had a cape.

-And I did, too.

-Now I can really hear that.

-It's a good feeling, isn't it?

-It surely is.

When is Corny coming for
his surprise birthday?

-Whenever we're ready.

-Daniel and I are making
something for him together.

I'll see you later.

-OK.

Bye, special cousin!

Now--

-It's a relief, isn't it?

-I'm so glad he's
feeling better.

Where do you think
this sign should go?

-Right there should
be fine, dear.

It looks very nice to me.

-Oh, good.

-Hi, Lady Aberlin.

-Hi!

-Oh hello, Queen Sara.

How are you?

I hear Maggie's in
a meeting, but she

will be here for the party.

She asked me to
bring these balloons.

-They are certainly beautiful.

-She said Corny had
told her that's what

he liked for birthdays.

Balloons, singing,
and hide and seek!

[TRUMPETS PLAYING]

-Assembled guests, I presume?

-Correct as usual, Uncle Friday.

-Well, what an appropriate
welcome for a king.

-This is Mr. Pecially's
birthday, dear.

-Oh yes, of course.

And where is he?

-Oh, we haven't called
for him yet, Uncle Friday.

-I suggest, then, that
we get on with it.

-Here's a party
hat for you, sire.

-Oh.

It won't cover my
crown, will it?

-Oh, no.

-Oh, good.

-Oh, it looks great.

-Oh, it looks lovely, dear.

-Well, that's fine.

-And now we'll need
the cake, of course.

-Oh, I'll go get that.

-It's in the BC room, dear.

-Oh, of course.

[INAUDIBLE] cake?

-Mmm.

-BC.

-Then should I fetch
the birthday man?

-You may do that.

Yes, you may.

-By the time you bring
him here, Mr. Aber,

we should all be ready.

-Terrific.

-Oh, one other thing.

-Yes?

-Do you all have your kazoos?

-Yes.

I do.

-We do.

-Oh, good.

-I do not play the kazoo.

I play the bass viol.

-Very good.

I'll see you all in a bit.

-You are excused, yes.

-Corny!

Mr. Cornflake S. Pecially?

Is that you, Corny?

Wait a minute.

Wait, Corny, wait!

What's this note all about?

Memo from Cornflake S.
Pecially to everyone

regarding my birthday.

Since nobody said Happy
Birthday to me today,

I guess nobody knows
that it's my birthday.

What?

The factory is closed and I'm
going to play hide and seek.

That's what I'm
going to do-- hide.

Oh, Corny.

If nobody finds me, I'll see
you after my special day.

Now what?

I've got to find him.

Are you sure you're
not there, Corny?

Corny?

Corny, nobody forgot
your birthday.

We just-- well, we just
didn't say it yet, that's all.

Corny?

Lady Elaine's his good friend.

Maybe he's at the
museum-go-round.

[BELL RINGING]

-Hey there, neighbor Aber.

How are you, toots?

-Well, I'm bewildered,
Lady Elaine.

-Bewildered?

Not on Corny's birthday!

-Yes, on Corny's birthday.

-Come on.

What's wrong?

-Corny is hiding.

-Hiding?

Where in the world is he hiding?

-I don't know.

I thought maybe you'd know.

-No, I was just getting
ready to go to the party.

Incidentally, can
you hold on a second?

-Surely.

Can you help me put on this hat?

-Oh, I'd love to.

That's beautiful.

-Thanks.

Yeah.

-OK, we'll put this there.

Oh, that looks great.

Oh, hey, wait a minute.

-What do you mean?

-How can we have
a birthday party

without the birthday person?

-I don't know, but
I'm going anyway.

See you, toots!

-Now where would I hide if I
were playing hide and seek?

I might hide behind
the platypus mound.

Hi, Corny!

Are-- Not there.

Then again, behind the wall
would be a good place to hide.

Hi, Corny!

I-- Not there, either.

Maybe Daniel knows where he is.

-Hello, Mr. Aber.

-Well, hi Tuesday.

I didn't expect to see you here.

-Daniel and I are
almost finished

with our present
for Mr. Pecially.

We hope he'll like it.

-Tuesday, nobody knows where
Mr. Pecially is hiding.

-He's hiding on his birthday?

-Yes, and I can't find him.

-I'll tell Daniel and we'll
meet you at the castle.

Maybe our present will help.

-Oh, I hope so.

-What's taking you so long?

-I can't find Corny.

-What do you mean,
you can't find Corny?

It's his birthday.

-I know, but he's
playing hide and seek.

He didn't think anybody
cared about his birthday.

-Nobody cared?

You should see all we've done.

Let's call him.

-OK.

-Corny!

-Corny!

Cornflake S. Pecially!

-Corny?

-Corny!

-Oh, Mr. Pecially!

-Cornflake S. Pecially!

-Corny, Corny, Corny!

-Corny!

-Where are the king and queen?

-They're in the B
for Birthday room

waiting for us to bring Corny.

-Hmm.

Corny.

[PLAYING KAZOO]

[TALKING INTO KAZOOS]

-Oh, you're here already.

-Hi.

Tuesday told me that Mr.
Pecially isn't here yet.

-That's right, Daniel.

-He thought we'd forgotten his
birthday so he hid himself.

-Uh-huh.

Well, that's a
beautiful birthday cake.

-And all his friends
are in the birthday

room waiting and ready.

-How can we have a party if we
don't find the birthday person?

-Maybe our present will help.

-What is it?

-It's that big card.

-Yeah, this big card here.

-Right.

-Well, what do you do with it?

-You just open it
up, read it out loud,

and show it to anyone
who may be hiding.

-Right.

-Happy Birthday, Mr. Pecially!

You are very special
and we love you.

Daniel S. Tiger
and Prince Tuesday.

-That's beautiful.

-Now, show it all around
and see if the feeling

that we put in it travels.

-Yes.

-Like-- like this?

-That's right.

-And be sure to show it
over by the factory, too.

That way.

-I hope he feels it.

-I do, too.

-You found me!

-Is that you, Corny?

-Corny.

-You found me.

-May I take this off?

-Sure.

I want to see this something
that I've been feeling.

Yes.

-Happy Birthday, Corny.

-Thanks.

You mean you didn't forget?

Wow.

Look at these balloons!

And that beautiful cake.

-And party hats.

-And all your friends are
waiting in the birthday room.

-Oh, well why didn't
anybody tell me?

-It's a surprise!

-Well, it was just in the
last couple of minutes

that I really felt it.

-Well, you must have felt
Tuesday and Daniel's love.

-Oh.

You mean-- Happy Birthday,
that says, Mr. Pecially.

You are very special
and we love you.

Daniel S. Tiger, Prince Tuesday.

Oh, that's the best thing
anybody ever told me.

-And it's really true.

-Oh, I thought it was going
to be my worst birthday.

-And?

-I think it's my best.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

-Let's all go
inside to the party.

-Oh, OK.

-[SINGING]Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday, dear Corny!

-You can imagine
what that party will

be like in the B
room for Birthday.

They'll probably all be wearing
some fancy hats and playing--

[PLAYING KAZOO]

Better feed the fish.

Oh, my.

When Cornflake S. Pecially
heard from Daniel and the Prince

how special they thought he was
and how much they loved him,

he didn't want to hide anymore.

-[SINGING]I like to
take care of you.

Yes, I do.

Yes, I do.

I like to take care of you.

Yes, I do.

Yes, I do.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

I really do.

Let's see who's here.

Why, it's Mr. McFeely again.

Come in, Mr. McFeely.

Oh, you haven't got
kazoos this time.

-They're flutes.

-Flutes!

-Yes, and there's an
old friend of yours

sitting out on the porch.

-Oh, let's see who it is.

-Come right on out.

-Eric Kloss.

-Hi, Fred.
How are you doing?

-I'm fine.

How are you?

-Just great.

-I expected to see a
saxophone in your hand.

-No, these are--
these are flutes.

I play some flute, too.

-Oh, could I hear it?

This is a fancy one.

-This is from the Orient
and it sounds like this.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

-Kind of a pretty
little melody there.

-That's beautiful.

-And here's another one
in the flute delivery.

-I like that.

-Will you hold that a second?

-Yeah.

-Now this is made out of lighter
wood and it's from the Bahamas.

And it's about the
same length, so--

-But you're blowing
down with this one.

And this one, you--

-You blow right in the end.

-You blew across.

-Right.

Now this one won't have quite
as full a tone as the other one,

but you can still
hear the same pitches.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

But this flute does some things
that the other one can't do.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Different-- different
kind of birds.

-Here's another one
with a different sound.

-And this is what I like
to call the owl flute.

And whenever Ken and I are
walking in our neighborhood,

we have X's younger
brother Y lives there.

[LAUGHTER]

And, um, and Y sounds like this.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

It gets kind of a double note.

Kind of mournful effect.

-It does sound mournful.

Would you do it once more?

-Sure.

Picture yourself walking now.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

And that's the way that sounds.

-Y up in the tree.

-That's right.

Y's up in the tree.

-I just wonder how
people ever thought

to blow into a piece of wood.

-But what I think
happened was bamboo

grew naturally in the
Orient and probably the wind

blew across the
tops of the reeds.

So some inventive
shepherd decided, well,

why don't I just
pluck one of these

and put some holes into it, and
just see what it sounds like?

So flutes actually come
from all over the world.

From ancient Egypt and
Greece and China and Japan.

-You play them so beautifully.

-Thank you, Fred.

-Just imagine.

A little piece of
wood, Mr. McFeely.

-Can play all that
beautiful music.

-Yes, now I have one here
that's isn't a piece of wood.

This is the fancy one.

-Why, it's so shiny.

-And this is one that is played
in classical ensembles as well

as jazz groups.

So this is fun because
this actually comes apart.

-This is a metal flute, huh?

-Yes.

And--

[MUSIC PLAYING]

-How did you do that?

-Well, see, you just
take your finger,

put it in the end of this,

[MUSIC PLAYING]

And make that sound.

-Right over that hole.

-That's right.

And then you just put this
right in-- in the end.

I might add that the
flutes that you saw before

were given to me by different
students that I've had.

And everybody knows
that I'm interested

in different, different
kinds of flutes,

so I, I happen to get
them for my birthday.

Just like Cornflake's
having his birthday.

-Well, anything that
you can blow in,

you can make music with.

-Yeah, I even have
something that is so small,

you could put it in your pocket.

And that's always fun.

-Could I hear this one?

-This one, or the flute?

-This flute.

-Oh, of course.

This is one of my
favorite songs.

[PLAYING THEME MUSIC]

I don't know how many times
I've played this for you

over the years here
in the neighborhood.

-Well, that-- that song is
mighty beautiful because it

makes me think that you
come into this neighborhood.

-Oh, it's a pleasure.

It always is.

-Speaking of deliveries
here, we have

a delivery-- another
delivery to do.

We're going on to the school,
and it's about time to go.

Eric?

-Deliver some music.

-Deliver some music.

Thank you, Eric.

-Thank you.

Always a pleasure.

-Great to be with you.

Thanks, Mr. McFeely.

-You're welcome.

Bye bye!

-Goodbye!

Everybody's special
in this life.

Everybody you meet has something
special to give and receive.

Just thinking about that
gives me such a good feeling.

-[SINGING]It's such a good
feeling to know you're alive.

It's such a happy feeling,
you're growing inside.

And when you wake
up, ready to say,

I think I'll make
a snappy today.

It's such a good feeling,
a very good feeling,

a feeling you know that I'll
be back when the week is new.

And I'll have more
ideas for you.

And you'll have things
you'll want to talk about.

I will, too.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

You know, everybody
has a birthday.

And some day, yeah--
someday it'll be yours.

Just know that I'm saying
Happy Birthday to you.

Be back next time.

Bye-bye!

[MUSIC PLAYING]
