what I have to do is multiply 52 weeks a

year yes there are 52 weeks a year yes I

have to multiply that by the nasally 85

cents I get each week so so who can do

that I can do that yeah look 52 that's

the week's times 85 that's how much you

get 85 cents so you say 2 times 5 is 10

you carry the 1 you say Jerry it would

be a lot easier for you if you gave me a

raise to $1 a week be a lot cheaper for

little less makeup with a nice sign you

I'll bet you'd like it I love all the

children I've known are my own and when

they've departed I'll be brokenhearted

your singing is making me grown a little

privacy

right my song oh it's pictured Tanya's

it's under though I've never met

you I know something you can't do I bet

your bet you betcha

I'll teach you how to do what I propose

here goes I'll bet you I can take this

plain ordinary paper napkin and this is

indeed Ramon a plain ordinary paper

napkin and I can turn it into a napkin

that is so strong you probably won't be

able to rip it in half would you like to

see that yeah okay here I go what you do

is you roll the napkin from one corner

as tightly as you can just roll and roll

and roll - you roll the whole thing up

there and now holding this napkin to the

center see if you can rip it in half

it's very hard Oh hard to rip right and

now I bet you I can rip it in half would

you like to see that yeah here's how you

do it you wet your fingers you touch the

center of the napkin and that weakens it

you just go

[Music]

Rockabye Baby in the treetop when the

wind blows the cradle will rock when the

bough breaks the cradle will fall and if

I were a baby this is not the sort of

stuff I would want to hear at all I used

to live in a place where it was cold in

the middle of the winter you do now

uh-huh I moved and I used to feel so

sorry for the birds especially the

little birds who really needed a little

help in finding food and so I've found a

funny way to feed them you take a cookie

cutter do you have a cookie cutter most

houses have a cookie cutter even if you

don't make cookies they just seem to

come with the house I don't know why

take your cookie cutter and don't cut a

cookie cut some bread just press your

cookie cutter into the bread so that you

make shapes out of the bread and then

you can eat the rest of the bread

yourself ha ha ha ha ha because bread is

delicious

all right let me get there we go and I

should now have I do I have a piece of

bread in the shape of a star

now with the point of a pencil make a

hole hokey-pokey see the point of the

pencil coming through okay and now I'm

going to thread a thread right through

that hole and then you make a loop be

nice if I cut it off the spool first you

make a loop so that you can hang your

piece of bread from a tree the next

thing that you do there

I made a loop so I can hang it from a

tree the next thing that you do is you

spread peanut butter oh that's too much

peanut butter you spread some peanut

butter onto your store there we go and

then you take

no you don't do it on both sides

goodness then you take your star and you

roll it in birdseed I have a dish of

birdseed here and when you hang that up

it is a wonderful treat for the birds

and it's a little decorative to giving

the birds star and this means that they

won't be the song called

me

winners are not not enough when it

disappears would you like to make a not

disappear well the first thing you must

do if you want to make a knock disappear

is make a knot that's a knot is it not

I'm gonna put it down on the table now

I'm going to pick up my paper cup and

lower my knot into the paper cup lower

it right down into the paper cup now I'm

going to say the magic words

Remy Sammy Ishkabibble and when I pull

up the string the knot has completely

disappeared you want to see why it

disappeared say yes say yes I yes that's

why you see my thumb was sticking

through a hole that I made in the back

of the cup and so when I made it not and

I will now make another knot this is

another knot is it not when I made

another knot and I lowered it into the

cup

I had my thumb sticking there right

through the knot and as I pulled the

knot unraveled against my thumb and

see this is a very difficult trick nah

and now the something

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

okay I'll tell you another story and

I'll tell you another teddy bear story

to Mister barely this one is for you

this is a story about the treasure

what's the treasure who can tell me very

good a treasure a treasure is something

that is really valuable well a man who

owned a toy store he owned a toy store

but he had once been a thief he had gone

to jail many times tired of so much of

his life being spent behind bars he

decided at last he wasn't going to be a

thief anymore and that's how he happened

to go into the business of selling toys

well he been in the toy business for

some years when one day our robber who

had been his friend in the days when he

too had been a thief rushed into a store

and begged him for a favor this fellow

had stolen a necklace and he pleaded

with the man behind the toy counter to

hide his treasure for him at any moment

he expected to be arrested by the police

the toy seller wanted no part of this

stolen stuff and yet he and the robber

had been friends and had spent a year

and a tiny jail cell together and so it

was that this seller of toys tore open a

teddy bear and what do you think he did

when he tore open the teddy bear

you're absolutely right he put the

treasure inside the teddy bear and then

he sewed the bear up and he placed the

teddy beside 14 other teddy bears on the

shelf

well the thief who stole the jewelry was

indeed arrested and he went to jail

where he stayed for ten years and then

one day the robber came back to the toy

store and asked for his jewels the

seller of toys went to his shelf took a

teddy bear from it and cut the teddy

bear open and in five minutes he had

ripped open 13 teddy bears without

finding the precious necklace and he

realized that mistakenly he had sold the

wrong teddy bear but to whom and when

after all 10 years it passed there's

nothing really more to tell about this

story except that somewhere in this

world somebody has a teddy bear that's

worth quite a lot of money

so if you have a teddy bear shake it and

if you hear a tiny clink or a tinkle

inside that somebody could be you let's

see you shake your teddy bears hmm

silence how about you this is the song

that does it

and yes it goes on and on my friend

some people started singing it not

knowing what it was and they'll continue

singing it is for real
