studio away no not really we just want
to have a good time but seriously today
we're going to teach you about the US
postal system and we're going to
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 leader
comes to Earth purple people eater
that's a mouthful it's kind of like
Peter Piper picked a peled peppers why
don't you practice saying it a
while next song peter Piper picked a
peck of pickled peppers with a flying
purple eater
coming out of the sky that old
long I command shake and I said we looks
like purple people eating me
one horn purple
[Music]
peopleorn
people strange to me when it came down
to
earth I said the fruit that don't eat me
i heard him say in a voice so gr I
wouldn't eat you cuz you're so tough
one fine purple
one
peopleorn fine purple people strange to
me people what's your life eating purple
people and it sure is fine what is the
reason that you came alive i want to get
a job in the rock and roll
well bless the soul rock and roll
[Music]
people to
see from the tree and on the ground and
it's starting to
rock it was a crazy swinging
singing balloon bamboo well so rock and
roll people
I like short shorts
people to say
purple what do you know i saw him last
night on a TV show he was blowing it
out playing rock and roll music through
the hole in his head
[Music]
woogie that purple people eater is a lot
like me we're both adorable fantasy
creatures who love kids love music and
love playing around and we both fly what
are those they're steps Billy and what
are they for you buy them from the post
office you put them on your letters and
that shows that you pay 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 the mail and I get
the idea but why don't you just fly
around and deliver the letter yourself
because people can't fly i keep
forgetting that the next intro is Why
don't you write me why would I write you
when I'm sitting right next to you not
me to videotape why would I write to a
never mind cue the host as our
decoration suggests today's show is
going to take a look at the US Postal
Service otherwise known as the mail our
next video shows what happens when one
chimpanzeee has to get a letter to
another chimpanzeee that sounds like 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]
send me a card i am waiting so hard to
be near you
[Music]
why don't you ride something's wrong and
I know I got to be there
maybe I'm lost but I can't make the cost
of the
air tell me why why why tell me why why
[Music]
would you write me a
letter
evening today it's only to say that
you're
leaving
me la

i am waiting so
hardest dream
[Music]
why don't you write
me why don't you write
me why don't you write
me why don't you write me
[Music]

to you christian graphic is cute and
standing by cameras one two and three
are in position okay host should
introduce Janet and Deborah Maya cue
them and now that we are all in a very
fossil mood it's question time our very
special daily segment where our staff
reporter Janet Bates interviews a very
special guest today it's Deborah Maya
from the US Postal
Office hello Deborah thank you for
joining us on the Kids Songs TV show
it's my pleasure well first of all
Deborah how long have you been a male
carrier almost 16 years wow how many
homes are on your route roughly around
400 do you get to know all the people
that live there mostly all the people
that live on my route i know yes are
mail carriers really scared of dogs yeah
I think they are when they first start
how many letters do you deliver a day oh
a good guess would be about 1,200
letters a day wow can you explain to us
what happens to a letter after it's put
in the mailbox sure once a 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 uh 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 the address and the zip
code you mean a machine can actually
read a machine can read if it's
typewritten and it's nicely handwritten
it can read and this machine reads about
33,000 letters an hour wow what happens
if a a kid just writes the address and
it's kind of messy if um a 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
separate it into each city and then
it'll be sent to that m that city and
the clerks will hand distribute it to
certain routes and then the letter
carrier will deliver it to the home oh
is the job fun i enjoy it i enjoy it a
lot thank you very much for joining us
Deborah it's definitely been interesting
thank you very much
i had no idea that it takes so many
people to get a letter from one place to
another me either 10 in the bed is up

popular spot in our show Billy Bagel

silly counting song 10 in the bed there

rolled over and one fell out there were
nine in the bed and the little one said
"Roll over roll over." So they all
rolled over and one fell
out there were eight in the bed and the
little one said "Roll over roll over."
So they all rolled over and one fell out
there were seven in the bed and the
little one said "Roll over roll over."
So they all rolled over and one fell out
[Music]
there were six in the bed and the little
one said "Roll over roll over." So they
all rolled over and one fell out there
were five in the bed and the little one
said "Roll over roll over." So they all
rolled over and one fell out
there were four in the bed and the
little one said "Roll over roll over."
So they all rolled over and one fell out
there were three in the bed and the
little one said "Roll over roll over."
So they all rolled over and one fell out
there were two in the bed and the little
one said "Roll over roll over." So they
all rolled over and one fell out there
was one in the bed and the little one
said "Alone at last."
