Hey, oh good morning.

Please come to the grand opening

of Sigmund Scrambler's Habit

Breaking Hypnotism Tent.

Hey!

How 'bout some hypnotism huh?

Yeah?

Gah!

- What's the problem Annie?

- My uncle Sigmund is

having a grand opening

of his hypnotism tent today

and I'm trying to let

everyone know about it.

- So you're advertising for him?

- Yeah I'm handing

out these flyers

and telling everyone I see.

- That's nice of you.

- Oh it's the least I could do.

He's giving me free

hypnotism lessons.

- Huh.

(piano music)

- Alright, alright,

I have to ask you,

why are you playing the piano

in the middle of the park?

- It's my dad's birthday

and I'm surprising him

with a song that I wrote.

- Really?

That sounds good.

You composed it yourself?

- Yep.

- Say!

You think you could

compose a song

to help advertise the

grand opening today?

- No.

- Why not?

- Well, two reasons.

One, it's my dad's birthday.

- And two?

- You're a prankster

and I really don't feel

like doing you a favor.

(phone ringing)

Oh hey Jessica.

- Hey Keith, what time

are we meeting again?

the Big Face Face Off

it's Lisa versus Francine.

use the oat sound.

- I will use oat as well.

You can't keep me locked up

in this castle, Francine.

- That's Queen

Francine to you Lisa,

and just try escaping.

You'll fall right into the moat.

- No biggie.

I'm gonna cross in a sailboat.

(bell dinging)

- I'll chase you down

with my royal goat.

(goat bleating)

- I'll distract your goat

with a bowl of oatmeal.

(goat bleating)

- Aah, my goat is bloated

and he doesn't float.

(goat bleating)

- b*at you Francine!

Sorry to gloat.

(bell ringing)

(electronic music)

- So what's happened so far?

- Come get hypnotized.

Nobody's coming

to my uncle's tent

even though I'm advertising.

I need a better

way to advertise.

Keith, you have to help me.

- No I have to compose

a song for my dad.

- Compose?

That means you write music.

That's a perfect

way to advertise!

You must compose a

song for my uncle!

- Hey you guys!

- Keith time to go.

- I'm staying to

accompany Annie.

I play,

- While I sing.

He's accompanying me

Habit Breaking

sir, to break a bad habit?

- I should say not.

I'm Charles Abercrombie the

head of the Block association.

- So you're the blockhead?

- Watch it Scrambler.

- I have here a petition signed

by dozens of your neighbors

to have you and your tent

removed from here permanently.

- But why Mr Abercrombie?

- It's that infernal song

that keeps playing

over and over and over.

- Just a little advertising

to bring people into the tent.

- It's disturbing the peace.

He'll help ya, he'll save ya

- Nix the singing.

You'll be so happy

- Listen Scrambler,

if you don't do

something, and soon,

there will be consequences.

To Sigmund Scrambler's

Habit Breaking

Hypnotism Tent

- Annie!

Did you hypnotize everyone?

(car beeps)

- Oh ah, yes I

did Uncle Sigmund.

- I told you, you are not

ready to hypnotize people yet.

- Sorry.

- It's my dad's birthday,

can you undo this.

- Maybe.

What words did you

use to hypnotize them?

- I can't remember!

- Well I can't undo the hypnosis

if I don't have the exact words.

(car beeps)

If you need hypnosis

To change

- Alright.

Your behavior.

- Everybody is sleepy, okay?

I can't fix this completely,

but maybe we can change

the words of the song

the lyrics, so that we can

communicate a little better.

You will continue

to sing like birds

but if you like you

can change the words.

I'm changing the lyrics

Hey that worked out nicely

At least we can talk now

Well talk-sing

Precisely

Okay Uncle Sigmund

what do we do

Everyone is counting on you

What were the words

You used in the first place

I don't remember

Well this is the worst case

Of bad hypnotizing

There's trouble ahead

Unless you remember

what you said

(car beeps)

- I can't remember!

- Wait, my sister

was on the phone.

Maybe she can just

recall the words.

- To the sister!

(electronic music)

- [Announcer] Shh, silent E.

(electronic music)

(bell rings)

Let me tell you about

a friend of mine

Goes around changing

words all the time

But he's kind of

sneaky, yes siree

Oh come on

I make the plan,

he flies a plane

I hold a can, he

carries a cane

Cook with a pan, now

he's out of the pan

looking through

my window pane

Silent E

How it changes everything

Silent E

It's elementary

Silent E

It's simple, come

on try with me

Cape, cape

At, ate

You got it

Yeah

Silent E turns

slop into slope

It gives a little

hop a lot of hope

It shapes a little

glob into a globe

You see, ah ha

He can change a bit to bite

A strip to stripe

A grip to gripe

A shin to shine

Well I don't mind

Let it spin

right up my spine

Silent E

Oh, what a great discovery

Silent E

It's elementary

Silent E

Who knew how

much fun it'd be?

Hop, hope

Shin, shine

Now you've got it,

sing along everybody

Silent E

When it follows a vowel

it changes the sound

Silent E

Silent E is everywhere

you've got it now

Silent E

It's simple come

on sing with me

Now I'm gonna

give you a word

And you just

add the silent E

Now when I say mad

and you add the E

what do you get

We get made

Now when I say slim

and you add the E

What do you get

We get slime

And when I say not

and you add the E

What do you get?

We get note

Silent E

Silent E

Silent E

(laughing)

- [Teacher] Great job

(bell rings)

(electronic music)

- Okay, this is something

you can play on a rainy day.

First I'll look for what I know

and I know that when

O and A are together,

they make the oa sound.

So b-o, bo.

Bo-r, boar-d, board.

Oh, next word.

Again.

I'll look for what I know

and I know that silent E

is going to make

that A say its name.

So, g-a, ga-me, game.

Board game.

Board game!

Oh I love board games.

My favorite is checkers.

Oh no no, maybe Chess.

(electronic music)

(humming jingle)

(electronic distortion)

- [Annie] Sleepy one, sleepy

all, sleepy sleepy all around.

Sing sing sing in harmony.

Stop only when you

hear this sound.

(car beeps)

- It worked!

(car beeps)

(humming jingle)

Okay.

Guess not.

(car beeps)

- It's the horn honking,

that's the on and off switch!

- Everyone concentrate.

I think the only way

to unhypnotize you

is to do it in song

with new lyrics.

Play that piano, kid.

I think I can fix it

Just give me your eyes

Now you're all

getting sleepy

You're all hypnotized

Now I think you've

been singing

A little too long

This is the last note

Sing it with me

This is the last note

Big finish

This is the last

note of the song

This is the last note

This is the last note

This is the last note

This is the last note

Of the song

- Than you Sigmund!

I think.

- Don't mention it.

Annie!

- Yes Uncle Sigmund?

- I thought we

agreed, no hypnotizing

until you had mastered the art.

Now give me that watch.

(sighing)

- I never do anything right.

- I don't know Annie,

when you do things that

are wrong you get it right.

- That's true Annie.

You're really good at being bad.

- You really think so?

- Of course you are!

Now come on.

Let's get some ice cream.

- Okay!

- Hey guys we gotta get

ready to sing for my dad.

- Okay.

While we're at it

let's add some harmony.

- Not a bad idea.

(piano music)

Hey Dad I know

it's your birthday

And I just have to tell you

I didn't buy you a thing

Hey Dad you nearly

got a sweater

But I thought it'd be better

If I wrote you a song

The one you're

hearing me sing

It's a song about how I

notice all the things you do

You're always fair

You're always there

You make me happy

Happy birthday Dad

Happy birthday to you

Hey Dad this

song is half-over

This is the middle part

How do you like it so far

Hey Dad I know

we're not rich

But I wouldn't want to

switch with any other kid

'Cause I like things

just as they are

And I hope you

like this song Dad

It's simple but it's true

You're always fair

You're always there

You make me happy

Happy birthday Dad

Happy birthday to you

- Best birthday present ever.

Did you compose that?

- Music and lyrics.

- (laughs) Nice.

(laughing)

- Aww.

(electronic music)

- I'd like to introduce

you to the ninja

of the English alphabet.

Silent E.

See that glob?

Silent E sneaks up on it

and pounces, bam!

Turning glob into globe.

(laughs)

Silent E doesn't

even make a peep

but it changes the

sound of a whole word.

Tub, you're tube.

Kit, go fly a kite!

Sham, what a shame.

Fat, huh meet your fate.

Mop, please don't mope.

Mistak.

Mistak's not a word.

Sorry.

My mistake.

Hey, all you vowels.

I see you

and you can run

but you can't hid.

I mean hide

from the baddest ninja in town.

Silent E.

(electronic music)

Oh, let me tell you about

my love of the silent E

Don't make a sound,

oh oh oh e e e

Sometimes I have a plan

And when I add an

E it becomes plane

And I can take that

plane and fly away

Even through a hurricane

Oh oh and then I land in

the middle of the jungle

and I get up

Watch a beautiful

handsome ape

Go swinging by on a vine

Unfortunately I don't

have a dime to give it

But that's okay 'cause

I get back on the plane

that I just rode on

And fly away

Don't make a sound, silent E

Silent E works for me

Silent E, silent E

Silent E works for me

(electronic music)

- Nnn.

- Ot.

- Not.

- Rrr.

- Ip.

- Rip.

- Ccc.

- Ap.

- Cap.

- Hey, I want to add a silent E.

- Okay.
