[THEME MUSIC]

-[SINGING] 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 beautywood,

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 a 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.

Glad we're together.

Wanted you to see something.

Know what it is?

It's an elephant toy.

A friend of mine
loves this very much.

It's saying hello to you.

[PHONE RINGING]

Oh, there's the phone.

My.

Hello?

Joe, how are you?

Good.

Three of them?

I'd like very much to meet them.

Certainly.

All right.

Yes, we could.

Right now.

All righty.

Bye bye.

That was Joe Negri.

He said that he has three guitar
students at his music shop

right now, who are just
about to finish their lesson.

He thought maybe we
might like to hear them.

So let's just go over to Negri's
music shop right away today.

Come along.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

-Hi, Helena.

-Hello, Fred.

-Mr. Jenkins.
-Mr. Rogers.

How are you doing?

-Good to see you.

-Joe is expecting you
in the rehearsal hall.

-Good.

I'll go right back.

Have a good day.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

-Oh, you sound great.

-Oh, look who's here.

Hi, Fred.

-Joe.

-I want you to meet
some of my students.

This is Ben.

-Hello, Mr. Rogers.

-I'm glad to meet you, Ben.

-And this is Lee.

-Hi, Mr. Rogers.

-Hi, Lee.

-And Anirban.

-Hello.

-Hi Anirban.

Glad to meet you.

I sure do like to
hear you all play.

-Well our class is
just about finished.

But we were wondering if you'd
want to hear these young people

play some song that we've
been learning on the guitar.

-Of course.

-OK.

Let's try it from the beginning.

This is "Everybody's Fancy."

-Oh.

-For guitars.

Ready?

One, two, three, and.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

JOE: Good, Ben.

Everybody.

Here we go.

Ready?

MISTER ROGERS: Well,
that's fancy in itself.

JOE: That is a little bit of
a fancy arrangement, isn't it?

MISTER ROGERS: Very good.

-Good boys.

You're getting that
together pretty nicely now.

-That is fun to hear.

Do you know that
last part? [HUMMING]

-Let's try that again.

That's bar 15 right there.

Ready?

One, two, three, and.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

-That's wonderful.

-Very good.

Your rhythm is really coming
together very nicely now.

-It certainly is.

Well when you all started
to learn the guitar,

you didn't play like
you're playing now did you?

-No.

-They had to learn how
to look at the paper,

and find and read the
note, and find it here

on the guitar which
is kind of hard.

-What's some of the first
note that you would learn?

Ben, what's one
of the first notes

that you would
learn on the guitar?

-Well, they're usually
on the E string.

MISTER ROGERS: On the E string.

-But I usually am more
interested in chords.

The first chord I
learned was a C one.

MISTER ROGERS: C chord, huh?

-Well, you put your third
finger on the third fret

on the fifth string.

Second finger on the second
fret on the fourth string.

The third string is open.

Put your first finger
on the first fret

on the second string.

And you strum from the fifth.

-Oh that sounds pretty.

But that sounds
complicated to me.

I mean, don't you
start with something

that's easier than a chord?

-Yes.

-Lee, show him the notes
on the first string.

-OK.

Well, open it would be an E.
And then on the first fret--

-Now wait a minute.

When you say "open,"
what's that mean?

That you don't use--

-That means no fingers
on the, on the neck here.

Just hitting the--

JOE: Open string.

MISTER ROGERS: I see.

-And then first finger would
be E, then E sharp, then G.

-So that's what you learn
first, those few notes.

Don't you have a desire
to just pick it up and go

like this, when
you first get it?

What about you, Anirban?

What do you like?

-Well, as you said, that
C chord that Ben played

was a little complicated.

Well, at first, just to get
us interested in chords,

we first learned the C
chord that is the easiest.

You see, when you
first learn this,

your fingers hurt when
you put it on the frets.

MISTER ROGERS: Oh.

-So you put your first
finger on just one of it.

And you strum only three
strings on this one.

And the G and the B is open.

And you just strum like that.

And then as you get
more fancier at it,

you can put your second
finger on this and the third

on that, as Ben said.

Then you can strum
from the fifth.

-I see.

-So that would be
building the chord,

so to speak, from one
note to three notes.

-So the way you all played
that "Fancy" song is something

that you had to practice a
lot of other things first.

-Mhm.

-They've been practicing very
hard on that "Fancy" song.

-I guess so.

I'd like to hear another
one, if you have another one.

-Would you like to hear--
Sure we have another one.

Let's try our other,
our other arrangement.

-What is this one?

-"There are Many Ways."

Oh, you're playing a lot
of neighborhood songs.

-Are you all set?

All right.

I'll count you off.

One, two, three.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

MISTER ROGERS: [SINGING]
There's the playing way to say,

I love you.

There's the playing your guitar.

The playing way, the playing
way, the playing way to say I

love you.

JOE: One, two.

Go ahead.

MISTER ROGERS: [SINGING]
Picking up your room can say,

I love you.

JOE: Very nice.

MISTER ROGERS:
[SINGING] Hanging up

your coat before you ask me to.

Drawing special pictures
for the holidays.

Making plays.

JOE: Everybody.

MISTER ROGERS: [SINGING]
You'll find many ways to say,

I love you.

You'll find many ways to
understand what love is.

Many ways, many ways, many
ways to say, I love you.

-Beautiful.

-Boy, I'm really proud of that.

-That's the guitar way of
saying, I love you, isn't it?

-And the guitar has a pretty
way of saying, I love you.

-Oh it does.

What a beautiful voice
it seems to have.

That's why I sort of wanted--

[PHONE RINGING]

-What's that?

-Oh, that's the telephone.

Helena will get it.

-That's why I sort of wanted
to sing along with you.

You know, add my voice to
the four of your guitars.

-It's a nice instrument
for accompanying the voice.

-Thanks very much for letting
me hear part of your class.

-You boys can keep working on
your music for a little bit,

and then you can let yourself
out, when you get through, OK?

I'll see you next time now.

-Glad to meet you, Ben.

-Goodbye, Mr. Rogers.

-Goodbye.

-I'm glad to meet you, Lee.

I'm glad to meet you, Anirban.

-Goodbye.

-Thank you.

-They really seem to
enjoy their work with you.

-Well the feeling is mutual.

I really enjoy my students.

-I can see that.

-Let's go out.

-And they you.

HELENA: Oh, well I
wish I could be there,

but I've got a job to do here.

All right.

I'll talk with you later then.

-Are you all right, Helena?

-I am, but my little boy isn't.

-Oh, is he sick?

-The baby sitter
just called to say

that he was really screaming.

And I tried to talk with,
but he wouldn't stop.

-Does he do that often?

-No, this is the first time.

-I think you should
go home, Helena.

-Oh, I'd like that, but I also
want to do my job for you.

-First things first.

You're a wonderful worker.

But I think Matthew
needs you at home right

now more than this store does.

-Oh, thank you so much, Joe.

I wasn't sure whether or
not you'd feel that way.

-There's one thing
about this neighborhood,

families and
children come first.

How about it, Mr. Rogers?

-It sure seems that way
with you right now, Joe.

Incidentally, if you
could use an extra hand,

I'd be glad to stay for a while.

-Oh, I'd like that.

Thanks a lot.

-I'd appreciate that too, Fred.

-Oh, of course.

And you'll let us know how
Matthew's doing, will you?

-Oh, I will, and thanks again.

See you later, Joe.

-No hurry, Helena, and I
hope Matthew feels better.

-Thank you.

-We'll be thinking of you.

-How you doing?

Well, it's hear.

Here's your melodica.

-Oh, yes.

-It's really nice.

-Well let's see how this--

[PLAYING MELODICA]

-Chords one note at a time.

-Oh.

That the one?
-Yeah.

That has a nice sound.

That's it.

-OK.

Here's the case.

-Oh great.

-We'll put that in there.

It's just a perfect
thing to get started on.

It really is.

There you are.

-Wonderful.

-Come on over here.

Excuse me, Fred.

-There you go.

I know some children
who are going

to think this is wonderful.

-OK.

Here's your silver.

-Ah.

Thank you very much.

-I really hope you enjoy it.

Let us know, OK?

-I certainly will.

-Bye.

-Bye bye.

-Bye.

Wish you well.

Is there anything specific
I could help you with?

-Well, I think
Helena was working

on this display case,
when her call came.

And maybe we could just
straighten that up a bit.

These go down there.

-What are these?

-They're guitar picks.

-Oh.

It's really hard to go to work
when you have a child at home.

-Oh, that's for sure.

-You're a very generous person
to do what you did for Helena.

-Well, I know how I
like people to treat me.

And I know how much she cares
for her child and her job.

-Yeah.

Joe, I wonder if I could
see one of those melodicas?

-Oh sure.

-What's it called?

-Melodica.

-Melodica.

And you just play it like--

-I have a trial
mouth piece here.

Let's just-- there you go.

You just play it like a keyword.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

-Now I was thinking, since I'm
going to spend some time here

with you, maybe
I could encourage

my neighbor to have
some make-believe.

You know, we often
pretend that you work

at the castle of
King Friday XIII.

-As Handyman Negri.

-And maybe today you could
be playing the guitar?

-How about if I'm
teaching Prince

Tuesday something
about the guitar.

-Great idea.

You could be playing it with
them as the trolley comes along

the track in the
Neighborhood of Make-Believe.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

-You'll be-- You'll
be doing that

in a little while,
Prince Tuesday.

But for now, let's just
practice our C major scale.

You follow me.

Ready?

-C. D. E.

[TRUMPET FANFARE]

-Handyman Negri and
Prince Tuesday, I presume?

-Correct as usual, King Friday.

-And the reason for
your assembly here?

-Prince Tuesday has
asked me to teach

him to play the
guitar, your Majesty.

-Very good.

-I want to be able to
play with you, Daddy.

-Of course.

Yes.

-Would you like to try that now?

I mean, we could get your double
bass viola and work on a trio.

-Sorry, gentlemen.

I have been asked to
go beyond the castle

on a special work project.

-You're always working, Daddy.

-I do work a great deal, son.

And so will you
when you are a King.

-Yes, but I'm just a boy now.

-Correct.

And you have a fine
teachers in Handyman Negri.

Go to it, guitarists,
and farewell.

-Farewell.

-Farewell, Sire.

And so your daddy
is a real worker.

-I know.

But I--

-Hello, Handyman and Tuesday.

-Hello, Queen Sara

-Hello, Mother.

-I just wanted you to know that
somebody in the office of Food

for the World has
gotten sick, and they

need me to come help out there.

-You mean right away?

-Right away.

I'll be back when I can, dear.

People need to have
food, you know.

Yes.

Farewell.

-And people need to have
their moms and dads too.

-You like your mom
and dad, don't you.

-Sometimes.

-I mean, you like
to play with them.

-If there ever here.

-Well, look who is here.

-Hi, everybody.

-Hello, Princess Zelda.

-Have you two formed a
rock group or something?

-Prince Tuesday is learning
how to play the guitar.

-Good idea, Tuesday.

Everybody needs
something to play.

Is your mother around?

-She's working.

-How about your father?

-He's working too
just like always.

-I see.

-Prince Tuesday had hoped
to play with his dad today,

but it just didn't work out.

-And your mom's gone too.

-You can say that again.

-Is there something we
can do for you, Princess?

-I was looking for
that elephant costume.

-You mean the one you wore in
our Josephine Giraffe play?

-That's it.

-Uh, we have all of those
costumes in the C room.

-C room?

-Yes, the C room of the castle.

C for costumes.

-I see.

Is there any way I could
get into that C room?

-Oh, I could get you in there.

Would you like to come
along, Prince Tuesday?

-Oh, I don't know.

-Oh, I wish you would, Tuesday.

You have such a good ideas.

-And we could find a costume
for you too, if you want.

-I'll meet you in there.

-All right.

Where will you be?

-Right by the cranberry candy.

I'll leave my guitar in my room.

-OK.

Are you ready for the C room?

-"C-ertainly."

-Right this way.

-Oh my.

Look at these.

Oh, they're chimes.

-Chimes.

-Oh, there's all
kinds of chimes.

-There's all kinds.
Look at them.

-There's all kinds.
Look at them.
-Oh my.

-Oh my.

Look at this place.

-Isn't this something?

Did you see the
candles over here?

-Oh, yes.

The candles and the chefs hat.

And I guess the chef must
have baked these cakes.

Look there's a chocolate
cake, and there's

cherries over there.

And that one has
got cream on top.

-Oh, and look here.

Look at these cheeses.

I'll bet these are good.

All kinds of cheeses.

And clouds?

-Clouds.

-Clouds in the castle?

-They're the cotton kind.

-Oh, I see.

Well I guess in the
Neighborhood of Make-Believe

you can have anything you want.

-Exactly.

You sure can.

-Oh, and clarinets.

-A clarinet.

Do you like a clarinet?

-Well, you can make beautiful
music with a clarinet.

[CLARINET PLAYING]

-This one makes
music all by itself.

It doesn't need me.

-Look at these.

-Oh, and look vegetables.

-Look at those.

-Oh, there's a cabbage.

And here's some corn.

Oh, and here's my favorite.

Here's cauliflower.

Look at that.

-Isn't it beautiful?

-Oh, and look at the
"clarrots." "Clarrots."

The carrots.

[LAUGHING]

-All kinds of things
start with the letter c.

-Right.

You could win a contest
with his carrot.

-Yes, you sure could.

-It's so big.

-Oh, look at this over here.

These are some of my favorites.

-Oh, it's an old fashioned car.

-Isn't that nice?

And look at that.

That's a model car.

-Yeah, it's a convertible.

And cups.

-Cups.

And?

-A clown.

-Hello there, clown.

-Look at this.

-What's that?

-It's a great big crayon.

-Oh boy, aren't they something?

-Isn't that pretty?

Look at these colossal coins.

Colossal coins with a crown.

-There's a crown on it.

That must mean they're
King Friday XIII's coins.

-There are crowns over here too.

-Oh, Princess.

Look over here.

It's Tuesday.

-All kinds of crowns.

Just like the crowns--

-Yeah, Princess.

All kinds of crowns up here.

Look at that.

Isn't that nice?

-Hm.

Let me see.

What do you think?

-Mhm.

-No, I think, I think one
crown is enough for me.

-Could be right there.

-Do you want some
cranberry candy?

-Well, Tuesday, it looks
like you might have had some.

-I have.

Do you want some too?

Well, maybe we can have some
a little later, but right now

I think we better get
over to the costumes.

-Oh, where are they?

-Right over here.

-Oh.

Oh, just look at
all of these things.

-Aren't they something?

-Remember Josephine?

Here's Josephine's costume.

-Josephine, the
short necked giraffe.

-The giraffe costume.

Oh, and look at this.

-Wow, is that ever fancy?

-It's me, I think.

-I think it is.

-You think so?

Oh, look what's over here.

It's Posey Elephant,
and here's Rosey.

And-- oh my.

What is this?

Oh, it's a cat costume.

Look.

Oh, here's a tail.

-Yeah.

very nice.

-I kind of like that.

-Here's my elephant costume.

-There you are.

-Oh, and here's the head.

Aha.

-Here's mine.

-Want to try them on?

-Sure.

Let's see.

How do we get into these?

-What do you think?

-OK.

-Yeah?

-What about me?

-You need a little help here.

Now we see your face.

-How do we look, Tuesday?

-You look just like elephants.

-They're just costumes.

-Oh, remember our elephant song?

-I sure do.

It was one of my favorites.

-[SINGING] You can tell
at once, we are elephants.

We are elephants big and strong.

From the backs and
fronts we are elephants.

We are elephants all day long.

-Look.

Here's a clown costume that
looks like it might fit you,

Tuesday.

-I don't feel like
playing a clown.

-Well, that's OK.

What do you want to do?

-I want to be mad.

-Well, that's OK too.

Want to tell us about your mad?

-I'm mad because my mom
and dad work all the time.

-And you want to
be with them more?

-That's for sure.

-And you don't like it?

-That's for sure.

-Handyman Negri, could you play
me a few chords on your guitar?

-Certainly.

-I think I want to make
up a song right here

and now for my friend,
Prince Tuesday.

-A song?

-Yes.

We can call, "Nobody Likes It."

[SINGING] You don't like it.

Your mom doesn't like it.

Your dad doesn't like it,
when they're gone so long.

Nobody likes it.

Nobody likes it.

Nobody likes it when
they're gone so long.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

-Nobody likes it, when
they're gone so long.

-That's for sure.

[PHONE RINGING]

-Oh, there's the phone.

Negri's Music Shop.

Yes, we do.

You're welcome.

Bye bye.

Somebody wondered if
you had guitar picks.

-Oh, well you know
where they are.

-Right there.

Anything else I
could help you with?

-Well thanks, Fred.

But as a matter of fact,
we're not very busy today,

and I think I can
handle the store alone.

-OK.

Well, I'll go back to my place,
but if you need me just call.

-OK.

I'd like you to take
this with you though.

I really appreciate
your helping me.

-This?

-You can have that on the house.

-Oh, Joe.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

-Thank you very much.

I'm very glad--

-By the way, did I tell you
that Natasha, the famous oboist

is going to be here
later this week?

-Oh, I'd like to meet her.
-Well, I'll let you know.

-Thank you.

And I really enjoyed
meeting and hearing

those young students of yours.

-I'm really proud of them.

-I guess so.

Thanks, Joe.

-Mhm.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[PLAYING MELODICA]

-You know parents
work, because they

want to be able to take
care of their children.

But that's hard for some
children to understand.

How do you deal with the
things you don't like?

Do you talk about them, draw
about them, play about them,

sing about them?

If you can, after a while you
can feel better about them.

And that can be a
real good feeling.

[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 day is new.

And I'll have more
ideas for you.

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

I will too.

Be back next time.

Bye.
