I'm going to make a rubber band banjo
and I'm starting with a carton there's
my carton and it's empty and I'm going
to fold the flaps down so that it'll be
strong there now that's important
because the rubber bands are very strong
and they'll make a weak box go like that
now every rubber band will make a
different sound depending upon how thick
it is let's see what sound this one
makes mm now I'm gonna put this one on
we'll see kind of sound it makes
well that's a coincidence actually I
made myself a really good banjo and
every one of these rubber bands I think
has a different sound let's listen well

you really get notes is you pull and
then pluck that's here you heard the
difference there didn't you did you make
yourself a rubber band banjo yet what

wouldn't fall yet he lived in China long
ago when the jury these people had a
custom that custom most peculiar went
like so
if you love your child and want the
world to know if do not give your child
a little name like Wong if you love your
child the proper way to show it is to
give your childhood name that's very
long
like for instance ticky to get him out

one bright and sunny morning to run out
and bring some apples kin to me but
before you go I must give you boys a
warning do be careful when you climb the
apple tree do not climb on the branch
that hangs over the well for I fear that
that branch is too thin if you climb on
the branch that hangs over the well you
might well fall in so they went and sure
enough tikki tikki tembo-no signet boat
bye boy muskie boy I know it Yvan my
Nikki no me Adam boy fell into the well

he keep on panicky no me atom boy and he
was cold and he was wet and he was very
