[THEME MUSIC]

THEME SONG: Lyrics-
It's a beautiful day

in this neighborhood.

A beautiful day for a neighbor.

Would you be mine?

Could you be mine?

It's a neighborly day
in this beauty wood.

A neighborly day for a beauty.

Would you be mine?

Could you be mine?

I have always wanted to have
a neighbor just like you.

I've always wanted to live
in the neighborhood with you.

So let's make the most
of this beautiful day.

Since we're together, we might
as well say, would you be mine,

could you be mine?

Won't you be my neighbor.

Won't you please,
won't you please,

please won't you be my neighbor?

-Hi, neighbor!

Welcome to this neighborhood.

I want to show you a
couple things right now.

There are two name tags.

This one says Francois Clemmons,
and this one says School Bus.

Now, I'm going to show you
Francois Clemmons picture,

and I want you to tell me
which one of these name tags

says his name.

Do you remember?

Remember that that
one says School Bus,

and this one says Francois
Clemmons under here.

OK.

I'll put Francois Clemmons
name on his picture.

Did you ever see
name tags like that?

So, there's his
picture with his name.

Now, I'll put the other one
on the trolley school bus.

Hey, Trolley.

Trolley, I have a name tag for
you that I'll put right there.

School Bus it says.

So, let's pretend more about
the beginning of school

in the Neighborhood
of Make Believe.

You remember yesterday
Anna, Prince, and Daniel

all started to school
at Some Place Else.

Harriet Elizabeth
Cow is the teacher,

and they all seem to
be having a good time.

But let's pretend
first about the people

back in the Neighborhood
of Make Believe.

The King and Queen
and all of them.

Let's think about what
they might be doing at home

while the children
are away at school.

And we'll just
pretend that Francois

Clemmons comes to visit, too.

All right.

The Neighborhood
of Make Believe.

QUEEN: Oh, here comes the
trolley school bus, now.

- Uh, Trolley School
Bus, I presume.

-I was just waiting to go to the
new school with you, trolley.

[DING, DING, DING, WHISTLE,
DING]

-That's what I understand.

I can hardly wait to see it.

-And you say you're
going to the school

to sing for the children?

-That's right.

Mrs. Cow invited me.

She suggested that
I make up a new song

using the names of the children.

-Oh, I'd love to hear that.

[Singing] Anna,
Prince, and Daniel.

Anna, Prince, and Daniel.

Daniel, Prince,
and Anna, are here.

Anna, Prince, and Daniel.

Anna, Prince, and Daniel.

Daniel, Prince,
and Anna are here.

-Oh what a lovely song.

FRANCOIS CLEMMONS: Thank you.
-Just beautiful.

FRANCOIS CLEMMONS: Thank you.

-Yes it does sound
nice, but why is

the Prince always in the middle?

I mean, you say, Anna,
Prince, and Daniel.

Daniel, Prince, and Anna.

-Well, it just makes better
musical form, King Friday.

A Prince, Daniel,
and Anna just doesn't

have the same flow as
Anna, Prince, and Daniel.

-Well, I wasn't thinking
of musical form.

-Oh hello Dr. Bill
and Mrs. Platypus.

How are you?

-Oh, Platypuses.

Oh, good.

-Well, I guess I must be going.

I'm going to Some
Place Else and school.

-Oh, well I hope you
have a grand time.

Well this is a surprise to have
you both come over like this.

To what do we owe this visit?

-Well I invited them,
Friday, to come over.

-Oh and we're so glad you did.

-Aye.

We were just talking about
how we our little Anna.

-Oh yes, and I miss
Prince Tuesday.

It's lonely in the
castle without him.

-Oh I've been thinking all
day about what a big thing

this is, the first week
of school for children.

But also what a big
thing it is for parents.

-Aye, it can be a lonely time.

-Nonsense.

Why are all of you lonely?

I mean, I'm glad my
son is in school.

He's going there
so he can grow up

to be a wise prince, and some
day a king like his father.

-That's fine, dear.

But he's a little boy
right now, and it's all

right to miss him
when he's away.

-Oh yes.

I wonder what they
are doing right now.

-Yes, I do wonder myself.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Oh, beautiful.

That was so pretty.

-I'm glad you like to listen,
because I sure like to play.

-Do you have any questions you'd
like to ask Handyman Negri?

-I do, Ms. Cow.

-Oh, well go right ahead, dear.

-Does it hurt your fingers
to play the guitar?

-Well, when I first started
to play when I was little,

my fingers were hurt a bit then.

But as I would practice,
my fingers got tougher,

and now they don't hurt at all.

HARRIET ELIZABETH COW:
Good question, Anna.

Are there any other questions?

-Do only men play the guitar?

-I think you ought to
answer that question, Lydia.

All right?

-Well men play, to be sure.

But boys play, and girls play,
and women play the guitar.

HARRIET ELIZABETH COW: Yes,
girls and women and boys

and men have many things they
can choose to do in this world.

-So much to choose in the world.

[Singing] So much for
girls and for boys.

There's so much for
women, so much for men,

so much to choose in the world.

-What a charming little song.

-HANDYMAN NEGRI: Well we
just make it up, didn't we?

By playing.

-Yes, it's fun to make
up all sorts of things.

-Oh, my.

What a good start we have.

-I think so, too.

-Well, I think we
should go inside now.

It's all finished
in there, isn't it?

-Yes it sure is.

It really is all finished now.

-Good for us all.

-Well I'm anxious to see inside.

-Well there will be
desks and chairs.

-At just the right size for us.

-That's right.

-And we can put our pencil
boxes right on the desk?

-You certainly may.

And in a little while,
Francois Clemmons

will come and sing your names.

-Oh, well let's get going!

-Well all right, I'm going back
to the castle to do some work.

I'll see you all
when you get home.

Bye!

HARRIET ELIZABETH
COW: Well, here

we go, inside our new school.

-Wow!

Look at this new school!

-Daniel here's your pencil box.

-Thank you.

-And here's your pencil box.

-Thank you.

-And Anna's.

-OK.

Now, I'd like to show
you the name tags

that I've made for you.

Would you hold
these up, Leyetta,

as I talk about them, please?

-Sure.

I've always wanted to
be a teacher's helper.

-Mm-hmm.

This is Daniel's name.

Would everyone
please say Daniel?

-Daniel.

-All right.

Now this is Anna's name.

-Anna.

-Very good.

And this is Prince's name.

-Prince.

-Mm-hmm.

Very good.

Now, which one is this one?

ANNA: That one's mine.

It looks like the
back of my pencil box.

HARRIET ELIZABETH COW:
Good for you, Anna.

-Here, let me just
put it on you.

Is that all right?

-Yeah, let her
wear that, please.

-Oh, I'd like to, thank you

-There you go, Anna.

Oh, good.

-OK.

Now whose is this one?

-That one's mine!

I want Lady Aberlin
to put it on me, too.

HARRIET ELIZABETH COW: Well,
uh, you look carefully, now.

-I think that one's mine.

HARRIET ELIZABETH COW:
That's right, Daniel.

-Could I wear mine, too?

HARRIET ELIZABETH COW: Surely.

You may wear that.

Go right ahead.

-There you go, Daniel.

-Oh, thank you.

-There you are.

-Very nice.

And I'll bet everyone knows
whose name this one is.

PRINCE: Mine!

-It's Prince!

-Can I wear mine, too?

-You're all right.

Of course you may.

FRANCOIS CLEMMONS
[singing]: School day,

school day, school day.

-Uh-oh!

There's Mr. Clemmons.

-What a beautiful new school
you have here, everyone.

-Thank you, Mr. Clemmons.

And welcome!

We're glad you came.

-Thank you!

Thank you very much.

I'm all set to sing the name
song that you asked me to make

up for your students, Mrs. Cow.

-Oh, good.

That's wonderful.

[SINGING]: Anna,
Prince, and Daniel.

Anna, Prince, and Daniel.

Daniel, Prince,
and Anna are near.

Anna, Prince, and Daniel.

Anna, Prince, and Daniel.

Daniel, Prince,
and Anna are here!

-Oh!

That's just loves.

It's just what I hoped for.

-Well I'm glad.

Here are the words.

Would you like to
sing along with me?

-Sure!

Sure!

-OK, I'll point to it here.

-OK.

[ALL SINGING]: Anna,
Prince, and Daniel.

Anna, Prince, and Daniel.

Daniel, Prince,
and Anna are near.

-Well we are near.

-Anna, Prince, and Daniel.

Anna, Prince, and Daniel.

Daniel, Prince,
and Anna, are here.

-Very, very good.

I'm proud of all of you.

You know, I remember
going to my school,

and the part that I liked
the most was music class.

-Oh, I bet you did.

-I bet you would guess
that, right, right.

But the other part
that I liked a lot

was when it was time to go home.

-Oh my goodness.

That reminds me!

It's almost time for
these children to go home.

-But, but, when are we
going to learn to read?

-Well you have learned to
read some things already.

-But, what?

-Well.

Your names!

-Oh!

Anna, Prince, and Daniel.

-Very good.

-Is that all?

-Would you like to read another
word before you go home today?

-Yes, yes, yes!

-All right.

What do you think, let's see.

What do you think
this word would be?

It's something that Handyman and
Lady Aberlin know how to play.

-Uh, is it guitar?

-That's the word.

-I knew it was
that all the time.

-Did you really know
what that said, Prince?

-Well I thought so.

-I didn't know it
right away, but I

think I'll always
remember it now.

-Well, it doesn't really
make any difference

who knows it first.

Maybe we all know it now.

I think every day we'll
learn something new.

-I hope we can remember it all.

-There's only one
thing I'd like you

to remember the
next time you come.

-What is that?

-Please bring your name
tags back with you.

Because next time, we'll
review each other's names

and sing the new name song.

-Oh good!

-Oh, and we'll do lots of
things like playground time,

and drawing a picture
of your favorite song.

Oh, and right now,
I think we should

get ready to go out
and get the trolley

school bus to take
you safely home.

And I really want to thank you
Lady Aberlin, and Mr. Clemmons,

for your help in making
this day so special.

-You're welcome, I'm sure.

-Well thank you.

-You're welcome.

Off we go, everybody!

-Having just checked
the castle clock,

it seems to me that this day
of schooling will soon be over.

-Oh, it does seem like
it should be time.

DR. PLATYPUS: Oh now
look who's coming now.

-Oh Handyman Negri.

How are things at the school?

-Well, when I left, the
building was finished,

and it looked great.

-But the children?

How are they doing?

-Oh, the children seemed
to be doing very well.

They were asking
excellent questions,

and they all seemed like
they wanted to learn.

-Well, what kind of a
meeting is this here?

-Oh, we are just waiting for
the children to come home now.

They'll be home from school
any time, Lady Elaine.

-Well, just so they were
first in their class,

that's all I care.

-They should be
coming any minute now.

-Oh I hear the trolley.

[TALKING EXCITEDLY]

-Well, now how was
your new school?

-Oh, oh, I liked it.

And this is my name!

It says Prince.

-Very good, son.

-Oh, oh, and we learned
to read the word guitar.

And there's a playground.

And we sang songs.

-And we sang, so much
to choose in the world.

So much to choose in the world.

-Oh that's very,
ver fine, my dear.

-Oh, we're so glad
to see you, Anna.

-And I'm glad to be home,
but I like school a lot, too.

-It wasn't scary at
all, Lady Elaine.

-No!

We didn't have to
know all that stuff

you were making us memorize.

-All I want to know is one
thing from all three of you.

-What is that?

-Were you three the
best in the class?

-Yes!

We were.

-Good!

Then all my efforts
were worthwhile.

Any time you need good old
Fairchilde for any more help,

just let me know!

-So long, Lady Elaine.

Well, I'm certainly proud
of all three of you.

-And I'm proud of
you Uncle Freddy,

for asking us to
build the school.

-Yes, well I give my best
felicitations to all of you!

You had a very prosperous week.

[WHISTLE, DING,DING,DING]

-Oh thank you for your help,
too, Trolley School Bus.

-Let's sing our name
song for everybody!

-Good idea!

[ALL SINGING] Anna,
Prince, and Daniel.

Anna, Prince, and Daniel.

Daniel, Prince,
and Anna, are near.

Anna, Prince, and Daniel,
Anna, Prince, and Daniel.

Daniel, Prince,
and Anna are here.

School day, school
day, school day.

-Anna, Prince and Daniel,
have started to school.

And their teacher knew how to
make a good beginning for them,

didn't she?

We'll just take off
your costume, Trolley.

Because we'll be pretending
other things next week.

So off you go.

I've enjoyed pretending
about the school

in the Neighborhood
of Make Believe.

But before I leave
today, I'd like

to take you to see
the outside and inside

of a real school bus.

I know a school
bus driver who said

she's be glad to show
us through her bus.

Her name is Mrs. Grace Lutz.

I'd like you to meet
her and see her.

We'll just go over there now,
and see a real school bus.

You and I, together.

MR. ROGERS: Hi, Grace.

MRS. GRACE LUTZ:
Well, hello, Fred.

How are you today?
MR. ROGERS: Good, thanks.

You know, I told you I wanted
to show my television friends

the outside and inside
of the school bus.

Each one has a number.

It's certainly big.

Big wheels.

See that?

And that school
bus sign up there.

MRS. GRACE LUTZ:
Yep, every school bus

has a school bus
sign on it, Fred.

Would you are to come inside?

MR. ROGERS: Sure.

I'd like to see the inside.

MRS. GRACE LUTZ: Watch
your step, it's a big one.

All the little children hold
onto the rail with both hands

when they come up.

MR. ROGERS: You
mean this rail here?

MRS. GRACE LUTZ: Right.

Right there.

-Oh, that's one of the
first things they'd see.

That is a tall step.

And this is a long bus.

A lot of seats in here.

-Yep, Fred.



-66 children?

That means that somebody's
always sitting beside you, huh?

-There's three
children in each seat.

-I see.

Now when the children
come in, Grace,

what's the first thing
that you ask them to do?

-I ask them to get in and
sit each seat by the window,

and as they file in they fill
up the seat and keep going back.

MR. ROGERS: I see.

And the younger ones
sit in a special place?

-We like them on the
inside by the window.

And that's about the
safest spot for them.

MR. ROGERS: So that the younger
ones are really nearest you,

is that right?

-I keep them in the front where
I can keep my eye on them.

MR. ROGERS: Uhhuh.

And then once they're all
seated, what do you do?

-Well I close the door,
Fred, before I pull out.

MR. ROGERS: And for them to
keep safe while you're driving

along, what's the best
thing for them to do?

-To be seated.

And I can see them
all in the mirror.

How about you sitting
here and looking?

-I'd be glad to!

I like to try new things.

Wow, that a big steering wheel.

Oh yeah, I can see!

MRS. GRACE LUTZ: All
the way to the back.

Even when they peek
down over the seats,

you can see their little heads.

-Why don't you move back in some
of the seats, so I can see you.

-OK!

-Just take any seat,
just so long as I can--

MRS. GRACE LUTZ: How
about here, Fred?

MR. ROGERS: I can see you!

MRS. GRACE LUTZ: One more?

MR. ROGERS: Sure.

So this is the way
you're able to tell

that the children are
all right back there.

MRS. GRACE LUTZ: This
is what you see, Fred.

MR. ROGERS: Sure,
because the children

are a lot shorter than you are.

MRS. GRACE LUTZ: Mmhmm.

MR. ROGERS: Come on back
up, this is your bus.

It's fun.

What do the children
call you, Grace?

MRS. GRACE LUTZ: Oh, they
call me lots of things, Fred.

They call me Mrs. Lutz, Grace,
but Witchy-Poo at Halloween.

MR. ROGERS: Witchy-Poo?

-Witchy-Poo.

MR. ROGERS: Why
do they call you--

-Well, I put my witch's
hat on, and hand

out the Halloween
treats, my mask and all.

Witchy-Poo.

MR. ROGERS: Ah, they're
lucky to have you.

-Fred, it's time
to go pick them up.

Would you like to ride along?

MR. ROGERS: I would.

Let's head over to the school.

-All right, ready to go?

MR. ROGERS: Ready.
-OK.

Here we go.

-I guess the children are
inside there, ready to go home.

[WHOOSH]

MR. ROGERS: What's
that loud noise?

MRS. GRACE LUTZ: Well,
that is my air brakes.

MR. ROGERS: Oh, I see.

MRS. GRACE LUTZ: And now all
my four wheels are locked,

and the bus will not move
until I start it again.

MR. ROGERS: I see

MR. ROGERS: Hi.

How are you?

Good.

How are you today?

What have you got?

[INAUDIBLE] Well, I'll say.

That's a nice bag.

Welcome to bus number 17.

It's the end of your
school week, isn't it?

-Yes!

MR. ROGERS: And
you're all set to go.

MRS. GRACE LUTZ: Here we go.

-Grace's father was
a teacher, so she

knows a lot about schools.

I know one child
who kissed Grace

every day when
she took her home.

Grace really loves.

Children

There you are, fish.

Fish are always hungry.

I give them just a
little bit each day.

Now when I was a
boy, I really wanted

to learn how to read
and write the way

I saw my mother and dad doing.

So I was anxious
to go to school.

When I did go, my
teacher helped me

to recognize words like my name.

But that was only the beginning.

It took me a long time to
learn to read and write.

But I did!

And I found I was proud
even while I was learning.

And I was learning lots
of other things, too.

Like numbers.

Sometimes my
teacher would let me

count all the
children in the class.

And I was learning
to play better, too.

Somehow learning seems to make
you feel good about yourself.

Have you gone to school yet?

Or will you go soon, so you
can learn from your teacher?

Teachers need children like you.

They couldn't be
teachers if they

didn't have somebody to teach.

And what they like
best is someone

who really wants to learn.

[SINGING]: I'm proud of
you, I'm very proud of you,

I hope that you
are proud as I am.

Proud of you, I'm
proud of you, I

hope that you are
proud of you too.

This is a name tag that I want
to write three letters on.

Y O U. And that spells you.

I wish I could give it to you.

But I'm just a television
friend, a television teacher.

Your real teacher
at school has lots

of things to share with you.

Whenever you go, I
hope you can remember

how many wonderful things
there are to learn about.

Especially people.

Because every
person is different.

People may have many
of the same interests,

but nobody's exactly the
same as anybody else.

That's one thing that
makes us also wonderful.

You're the only person in
the whole world who is you.

[SINGING]: It's such a good
feeling to know you're alive.

It's such a happy feeling
you're growing inside.

And when you wake
up ready to say,

I think I'll make
a snappy new day.

It's such a good feeling,
a very good feeling.

The feeling you know, that I'll
be back, when the week is new.

And I'll have more
ideas for you.

And you'll have things
you'll want to talk about.

I will, too.

Bye, special friend.
