Home On The Range

So this map is a picture of America right so when we introduce a song you

can make yourself small and run around to different parts of the country and show us where they are and what they're

like And I'll be teaching geography Hey wait till I tell my mom She's going to

be so proud of me Billy you are so cute I know

Alex stand by Run in three two Our next song takes us back in time to the 1800s

when settlers were exploring America Many of them wanted their own home on the range To find out more about the

range let's join Billy Bagel in our map center These states here

Nebraska North and South Dakota and Minnesota are some of the ones they call

the range It's really beautiful country great for farming And as the song says

deer in the antelope played here You'll see it all in Home on the

Range Wow an instant geography lesson from Billy Bigle Just what Mrs Wilson

wanted She'll love it Roll the clip Clips rolling

Give me a home Where the buffalo roam

and the deer and the antelope [Music]

play where seldom is heard a discouraging word and the skies are not

cloudy all day Home hung on the range where the deer

and the animal play where seldom is heard a

discouraging word and the skies are not cloudy all day

The air is so pure and the zippers so free and the breezes so balmy and light

that I would not exchange my home on the range for all of the city so bright

Home Home on the range where the deer and the

play where is heard a discouraging word and the skies are not cloudy all

day How often at night when the heavens are bright with the light from the

glittering stars I stood there amazed and asked as

I gaze if their glory exceeds that of ours

Home on the range where the deer and the animal

play is heard a discouraging

word and the skies are not cloud

[Music] Intro to take me out to the ball game in three two and cute This next song is

Baseball Song

about a very American sport In fact America is one of the few places in the

whole world where baseball is played That's right The only other countries with baseball teams are Canada and Japan

Japan is all the way over here across the ocean And Canada is right here next

to America Hey if these are the only countries who play baseball why do they

call it the World Series good question Billy We'll get back to you on that one

But first here's take me out to the ball game [Music]

Take me out to the game Take me out with

the crowd Buy me some peanuts and cr*cker

jacks I don't care if I ever get back Let me root root root for the home

If they don't win it's a shame 1 2 three strikes are out at

the KHB It's up to you to get out there and save the team Remember you can do wonderful

things with your life if you really believe in your dreams Go get them kid All right

All I need is just one chair I could hit a home

run There isn't anyone else like me Maybe I'll go down and hit the story and

it's root for the home team Here comes

[Music] [Applause]

[Music] [Applause] [Music]

Okay Billy There are a lot of cities in this next song like this one Chattanooga

is a city What a funny sounding name You should hear some names of Russian cities

They're really hard to pronounce like

and in three two and rock and roll is

definitely American music And this next song was written by one of America's most famous rockers the legendary Chuck

Berry When the Kids Songs kids decided to be rock and rollers for a day they picked this Chuck Berry tune It's called

Living in the [Music] [Applause] [Music]

about Detroit which is over here in Michigan And Chicago is down on the Great Lakes And Chattanooga Oops I

forgot Where is Chattanooga i'm getting tired

Let's give Billy a break He's trying so hard at his geography lesson We can go to Mr Policeman next Good idea and cute

Our next song is called Mr Policeman even though it's about policemen and women I think police officer is the

right term I thought it was peace officers I'm confused Let's ask police person Maria Tones when she comes up

She'll know But first the kids salute LA's finest the men and women in blue

Mr Policeman making everything all

right Always around to protect and sir watching out for us day and

night Oh Mr Policeman always has a job to

you Thank you for being Chris Are Janet and Officer Tomes ready

Interview

for the interview great Cue the host and roll the question from graphics Rolling

in four three two and take it

And now our own Janet Bates is going to interview Officer Maria Tomes The Los Angeles Police Department was kind

enough to let her come on the show so let's meet her now Janet thank you Christian Thank you Alexandra Good

morning Officer Tones Hi Janet You can call me Maria Why thank you Tell us how

old were you when you first decided to become a police officer i was about 13 years old and police work always seemed

so exciting and interesting to me I used to love to see those black and white cars with the lights blinking and the

sirens going I was always real curious as to where they were going and what was happening and what were they doing Do

you like it yes I love my job I enjoy it Is it scary i don't think of it as being

scary We've all been trained to react and do something and then after we've

taken control of what's happening then it becomes scary Is it ever fun it's a

lot of fun all the time If you see someone strange in your neighborhood what should you do when you see somebody

in your neighborhood that you know doesn't belong there and they're driving around slowly or they're walking around

and checking people's door knobs more than likely they're up to no good and

you should call the police Go inside tell your mom and your dad or your babysitter You should call the police Do

you have any more advice for the kids in our audience you should always look and

listen to danger You should always pay close attention before you cross the street Look all four ways Always pay

attention to your crossuard You should always follow the cross guard's directions

And lastly whenever you get into a car you should always get into the habit of putting your seat belt on Seat belts are

very important And even if you're just going for a very short distance wear your seat belt Well thank you Maria

Thank you for joining us And thank you for giving us so much information Thank you Janet What's next billy's singing

are you singing today that oldtime spiritual when the saints go marching in

Great song But did you know that it first became popular in New Orleans or as they say down there New

Orleans which is right over here new Orleans is the most exciting city in

Louisiana It's famous for its Dixie Land jazz band They love playing this song

Spaghetti Song

Spaghetti's next You've got it And Cuban in three two Spaghetti is one of my

favorite foods Mine too Is it American no it's Middle Not really It's actually

from China Spaghetti i think you're thinking of noodles No

China The famous Italian explorer Marco Polo discovered it here and liked it so

much he brought a lot of it back to Italy over here where it became very

popular And we'll save the story of how it got to America for another day As we

were saying this next song is about spaghetti and the adventures of a runaway meatball to be exact Here's on

top of spaghetti [Applause] on top of spaghett all covered with

cheese I lost my meatball when somebody's

knees It rolled off the table and onto the

floor and then my poor meatball rolled on some more

He kept right on rolling on down by the lake And then my poor meatball passed a

cute little snake It kept right on going and went

under the gate I must catch my poor meatball before it's too late

It's changes direction and it's heading back I think that my

meatball is on the right track If it stays on this trail and

keeps going straight then my ball will get back to

my plate Semi for me We'll get back to my place
