and toast and jam and no can orange

juice oh that's fantastic how do you

know that it's on your shirt oh yeah oh

yeah I don't know what I'm gonna do

trouble remembering important dates you

know like um like what happened in the

year 13 21 that's easy what happened

nothing oh now that I can remember

look little buddy it's always easy to

remember a date if you make up a little

rhyme yeah what do you mean well do you

remember who did something in 1492 it

wasn't me I swear

I wasn't even in town uh-huh Christopher

Columbus found America in 1492 you see

even know it was missing it wasn't

missing he discovered it oh I see

Christopher Columbus discovered America

what was that here again I can't

remember here's my memory trick now

listen to this in 1492 Columbus sailed

the ocean blue yeah well that's it he

discovered America when he sailed the

ocean blue in 1492 in 1861 the Civil w*r

just begun in 1861 I got it with a

memory trick I will never forget another

date I've got a date to pick you up at

the end of the day can you remember what

time let's see I'll try to be here at a

quarter to three but if I forget don't

blame me have you met Rosie Rosie

well at least she used to be called

nosey Rosie there's her forehead and I'm

gonna make a dot now she has no nose so

there's where the nose would have ended

there's her upper lip and her lower lip

chin and her neck maybe give her cheeks

and eye one eye and eyelashes lots of

eyelashes lots of eyelashes

a little hair sure why shouldn't she

have a little owene here in a year okay

now the one thing she needs of course is

a nose so right at the spot where I've

made the first dot I'm going to poke a

hole oh okay nice hole with a pencil and

at the second dot which is under the

nose or where the nose will be his

second hole

this is a piece of wool you knew that

didn't you did you know that I was going

to make a knot at the end of the piece

of wool and then another knot on top of

it because you don't want the wool to

come all the way through I'm gonna

through

from behind but I hope that the knot

will be big enough to grab and hold oh

you can do it I did it okay now I'm

going to put the other end through this

hole and I'm going to make another

double knot so that it will tuck

securely in the back and grab yes and

now no 0z has a nose she can have it

turned up nose well she can have a turn

down nose or she can have a very turn

down nose or she could have a nose that

Wiggles how's that do you like that one

or she could have a small nose like that

smaller smaller smaller smaller smaller

look like anybody you know or if you

prefer you could draw a picture of a boy

and make it into Pinocchio with the nose

that grows and grows and grows make a

nosey Rosie and you'll find that you

really enjoy pulling the wool over her

nose

[Music]

it's stuck it's great that's just the

beginning of the toy now you poke a hole

in the bottom of the cup with a pencil

point there we go you stick the other

end of the string into the cup and you

make a very good knot

I mean maybe two or three knots one on

top of another so that your string won't

slip out of the cup let's see if I've

done it I think I've done it yes and
