[Music]

I don't really know what happened when I

sat down to write the script I got a

case of the giggles and everything just

came out real silly well that's funny

when I was thinking the videos for

today's show I found myself thinking

only the silly ones who know if you

mentioned I feel super silly

did I hear silly I feel silly Oh Billy

Billy Billy I feel good well then we're

really gonna have a fun show today I

want to wear a hat today me too nice job

on the fence a park

I wanted you carried away with it either

work hard to control myself not get too

silly I know what you need I wanted to

start the peep show with the camera

upside down sounds great

I don't think mrs. Wilson would think so

it's show time roll record

corduroy opening titles cued and

standing by rolling five four three two

one and take it

[Music]

good morning and welcome to the Kidsongs

TV show the one and only show made by

kids for kids and starring kids

hi I'm Alexandra palm and I'm Christian

Buenaventura

today we have decided to have fun fun

fun to our Bostic the studio way no not

really

we just want have a good time but

seriously today we're going to teach you

about the US postal system and we're

gonna entertain you with great music

videos so let's get started with a

wonderfully silly song that tells the

story of what happens when a purple

people eater comes to earth purple

people eater that's a mouthful it's kind

of like Peter Piper picked a peck of

pickled peppers why don't you practice

staying in a while while we all watch

this next song Peter Piper picked a peck

of pickled peppers with a flying purple

people eater

to shake

[Music]

strange to me

I'd say animals

you cut your tongue

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

sike

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

music is it

[Music]

people leaders a lot like me

we're both adorable fantasy creatures

who love kids love music and love

playing around we both fly what are

those early and what are they for you

buy them from the post office and put

them on your letters and that's all that

you're paid to get your letter delivered

you have to pay to send a letter sure

there are lots of people working at the

post office and lots of machines that

sort your mail and I get the idea but

why don't you just fly around and

deliver the letter yourself I I keep

forgetting that the next pitch o is why

don't you write me why would I write you

when I'm sitting right next to you not

me the videotape why would I write to it

never mind

mark cue the host as our decoration

suggests today's show is gonna take a

look at the US Postal Service otherwise

known as the mail our next video shows

what happens when one chimpanzee has to

get a letter to another chimpanzee that

sound like at the beginning of a joke

it's not a joke

but it is very funny here's why don't

you write me why don't you

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

wild

[Music]

maybe

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

Billy what song have you sing-along

today 10 in a bed cuz it sounded like a

silly idea I can't imagine having ten

Biggles in a bed

I really can't we would get too silly

and then one of us would fall out and

that's pretty close to what happens in

this video one by one they all fall out

oh good I think you should teach the

kids at home how they pout as you leave

a song you know Biggles don't count I

don't know how I better teach you coming

to you in three two our special guest on

today's show is Deborah Maya

a mail carrier from our local post

office we're really pleased she is here

to explain to us that wonderful mystery

of how you can put a letter in the

mailbox today and have it arrive at your

friend's house tomorrow Deborah will be

out soon but first let's take a look at

this next video we'll see what happened

when the Kidsongs kids went on a field

trip to the candy factory and the very

jolly owner gave them a musical tour the

song's called

the candy man who can make sunrise

we're good with do

cover it in chocolate and a miracle too

Candyman

cause he mixes it with the one who can

take the rainbow

and wrap it in the side

some good some make a tastier than pie

the Candyman

[Music]

and alls it

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

who can take tomorrow

[Music]

dip it in a dream separate sorrowing

collectible cream the Candyman

oh the Candy Man can

[Music]

the Candy Man can cause he mixes

[Music]

like a fun place to go not as fun as the

water rides in the theme park you mean

the big ones where you really get soaked

yep

I love it when I know I'm gonna get wet

I think we have a song on the subject

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

no I'm never gonna learn this in time

for my sing-along can't I sing something

else no we're gonna stick to it till you

know it you can do a belly I know you're

here Michael Finnegan is up next I think

we did a pretty good job with the

special effects in this video and it's

such a silly song cue him there was an

old man named Michael Finnegan he had

whiskers on his chin again the wind blew

them off and blew them on you

let's watch the story of Michael

Finnegan begin again

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

yet some organ for my growth and begin

again

[Music]

we get nothing again for my opening and

begin again

[Music]

before we bring out debra amaya from the

post office let's take a light-hearted

look at the mail I thought why don't you

write me it was pretty funny it was I

think the Kidsongs kids were feeling

very silly when they made this video

about the mail yes they were

they took this next song literally it's

called mail myself to you and that's

what exactly what the Kidsongs kids did

[Music]

[Music]

anybody come is 1 2 & 3 are in position

okay

posted introduce janet and debra amaya

queue up and now that we're all in a

very fulsome mood it's question time our

very special daily segment where our

staff reporter janet veyts interviews a

very special guest today it's Debra Maya

from the US postal office hello Debra

thank you for joining us on the Kidsongs

TV show it's my pleasure well first of

all Debra how long have you been a mail

carrier almost 16 minutes Wow

how many homes are on your route roughly

around 400 you get to know all the

people that live there mostly all the

people that was on my route I know yeah

our mail carriers really scared of dogs

yeah I think they are when they first

start how many letters do deliver today

Oh a good guess would be about 1200

letters a day

Wow can you explain to us what happens

to a letter after its put in the mailbox

sure once letter is put into a mailbox

by a customer the carrier picks it up he

takes it or she takes it with them to

the post office it gets put into a big

truck which will take it to another post

office it'll be run through a machine to

face it all in one direction and then

it'll be ran through another machine

that reads the address and the zip code

you mean a machine can actually lead a

machine can read if it's typewritten and

it's nicely can written it can read and

this machine reads about 33,000 letters

an hour Wow what happens if a kid just

writes the address kind of miss if a kid

wrote a letter and the machine can't

read it then people will read it and

place the address into a machine and

then the machine will print it out on it

for it ah and what happens after it'll

be separated into zones and it'll go to

another bigger post office

it'll be ran through another machine

that will

separated into each city and then will

be sent to that mission that city and

the clerks will hand distribute it to

certain routes and then the letter cure

will deliver it to the home is the job

fun I enjoy it I enjoy a lot

thank you very much for joining us Debra

people to get a letter from one place to
