good morning and welcome to the Kids

Songs TV show the one and only show made

by kids for kids and starring kids hi

I'm Christian Wood of Ventura and I'm

Alexander Palm and I'm Billy Biggles

your friend and singalong leader on

today's show we have something I bet few

of you have ever seen before and it's

drum roll

please a live reindeer right here in the

studio really that's exciting sure is

but first we have a song about a man who

finds a box and can't give it away no

matter how hard he tries it's called The

Thing and it's a great song to stomp

your feet to like this

while I was walking down the beach one

bright and sunny day I saw a great big

wooden box a floating in the bay i

pulled it in and opened it up much to my

surprise whoa I discovered it right

before my eyes i discovered it right

before my eyes

i picked it up and ran to town as happy

as a king i took it to a guy I knew

would buy most anything but this is what

he hollered at me as I walked in his

shop well get out of here before I go

we'll get out of here with that before I

call the cop

i turned around and got right out

running for my life and then I took it

home with me to give it to my wife but

this is what she

me and don't come back oh get out of

here with that and don't come back no

more

i wandered all around the town until I

chance to meet Fred the town policeman

who was walking on his feet he wasn't

scared of anything he was a big brave

man but when I show

[Music]

him he turned around and ran

i wonder for many years

when I tried to give it away to anyone

in the land they don't let them take a

look and this is when they say "Get out

of here and take it far away." Oh get

out of your way and take it far away the

moral of the story is if you're out on

the beach and you should see a great big

box and it's within your reach don't

ever stop and open it up that's my

advice to you cuz you'll never get rid

of them no matter what you do oh you'll

never get rid of us no matter what you

do oh you'll never get rid of us

matter what you do

so I don't get why Janet always gets to

interview the guests chris you know that

we all decided together that Janet would

be the interviewer you wanted to be the

writer well I changed my mind writing is

hard work and Janet has all the fun and

she gets to meet all those neat people i

don't want to be the writer anymore i

want to be on camera well if you don't

Billy what am I going to do don't worry

Melanie we'll get through it we have

such a good team here we just have to

keep it together there's got to be a way

to keep everyone happy but how i've got

snowman try and guess who he is clue

number one one day he put on a magic hat

and came to life clue number two and he

laughed and played you've probably

guessed we're talking about the famous

Frosty the Snowman frosty the Snowman

was a jolly happy soul with a corn pipe

and a button and two eyes made out of

coal frosty the snowman is a fairy tale

they say he was made of snow but the

children know how he came to life one

day there must have been some magic in

that old silk cat they found for when

they placed it on his head he began to

dance

around frosty the snowman was alive as

he could be and the children say he

could laugh and play just the same as

you and

me frosty the snowman knew the sun was

hot that day so he said "Let's run and

we'll have some fun

now." Down to the village with a

broomstick in his hand right here and

there all around the square saying

"Catch me if you can." He led them down

the streets of town right to the traffic

cop and he only paused a moment when he

heard him holler

"Stop." Frosty the snowman had to hurry

on his way but he waved goodbye saying

"Don't you cry i'll be back again

someday

and now it's time for Janet Bates to

meet Rick Clark and his reindeer Prancer

good morning Rick good morning Janet and

good morning Prancer how are you tell us

how old is he well Prancer is about 10

years old now is he a good pet uh he is

a pretty good pet yes he's very very

gentle uh he's not real good inside the

house though he's a little bit large

with his antlers and and not real

controlled sometimes what does he eat oh

he eats a mixture of alpha alpha and a

special deer pellet that's made up and

he likes papro leaves also which is real

important part of his diet what's his

personality like well he's very docile

he's like a a cow almost in the way that

he acts and his temperament uh he's

actually very gentle they like being

around people they're a herd animal

where do they live naturally uh reindeer

come from a place called Lapland which

is a small country in the northernmost

part of Finland uh they live in all

areas uh north of the Arctic Circle so

they do come from the North Pole can

they really pull a sleigh yes they pull

slays very well they can pull them

individually or they can pull them in

what's called teams where you have more

than one reindeer pulling the team tell

us is it true that their antlers fall

off every year that's correct the

antlers fall off every year and all this

growth that you see here takes place in

about 3 to 4 months now both the boy and

the girl reindeer grow antlers which is

unlike other deer does it hurt them when

the antlers fall off no it doesn't hurt

them at all uh they're made to to fall

off every year they fall off in the

springtime by the way uh just before the

babies are born how long do the reindeer

live in captivity reindeer will live

about 12 to 15 years wow wow in the wild

they do live less because there's nobody

to take care of them if they get sick

did they get really big uh this is about

the full size some of them get a little

bit bigger than what what Prancer is

here this is about average size for a

reindeer how big are they when they're

born uh when they're born they're about

the size of a c*ck spananiel puppy so

they're not very large they grow very

fast they they weigh about five or six

lbs when they're born you said that

they're sensitive yes they're very

ticklish can I pet him yes you may

well thank you for joining us Rick and
