you about the u.s. postal system and
we're gonna entertain you with great
music videos so let's get started with a
wonderfully silly song that tells the
story of what happens when a purple
people eater comes to earth purple
people eater that's a mouthful it's kind
of like Peter Piper picked up pickled
pickled peppers
why don't you practice staying in a
while while we all watch this next song
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled
peppers with a flying purple people
eater

what are those just Billy and what are
they for
you buy them from the post office and
put them on your letters and that's all
that you pay to get your letter deliver
you have to pay to send a letter sure
there are lots of people working at the
post office and lots of machines that
sort your mail and I get the idea but
why don't you just fly around and
deliver the letter yourself I keep
forgetting that the nest Joe is why
don't you rate me why would I write you
when I'm sitting right next to you not
me the videotape why would I write to it
never mind
mark cue the host as our decoration
suggests today's show is gonna take a
look at the US Postal Service otherwise
known as the mail our next video shows
what happens when one tim p*nsy has to
get a letter to another chimpanzee that
sounds like at the beginning of a joke
it's not a joke but it is very funny
here's why don't you write me why don't
you
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
maybe I'm
[Music]
right
[Music]
why don't you
[Music]
today 10 in a bed cuz it sounded like a
silly idea I can't imagine having 10
Biggles in a bed
I really can't we would get too silly
and then one of us would fall out and
that's pretty close to it happens in
this video when they when they all fall
out oh good I think you should teach the
kids at home how they fell as you leave
a song you know Biggles don't camp I
don't know how I better teach you coming
to you in three two our special guests
on today's show is Debra Maya a mail
carrier from our local post office we're
really pleased she is here to explain to
us that wonderful mystery of how you can
put a letter in the mailbox today and
have it arrive at your friend's house
tomorrow Debra will be out soon but
first let's take a look at this next
video we'll see what happened when the
Kidsongs kids went on a field trip to
the candy factory
and the very jolly owner gave them a
musical tour the song's called the candy
man
[Music]
sprinkle it with Dew speed
chocolate and the miracle to the
Candyman
Candyman can
[Music]
cause he mixes it with the world

had whiskers on his chin again the wind
blew them off and blew them on you let's
watch the story of Michael Finnegan

finnegan begin again
[Music]
before we bring out debra amaya from the
post office let's take a light-hearted
look at the mail I thought why don't you
write it was pretty funny it was I think
the Kidsongs kids were feeling very
silly when they made this video about
mail
yes they were they took this next song
literally it's called mail myself to you
and that's what exactly what the
Kidsongs kids did
[Music]
[Music]
anybody come is 1 2 & 3 are in position
okay
posted introduced janet and debra amaya
cue up and now that we're all in a very
fulsome mood it's question time our very
special daily segment where our staff
reporter janet veyts interviews a very
special guest today it's Debra Maya from
the US postal office
[Music]
hello Deborah thank you for joining us
on the Kidsongs TV show
it's my pleasure well first of all
Deborah how long have you been a mail
carrier almost 16 years Wow how many
homes are on your route roughly around
400 you get to know all the people that
live there mostly all the people that
move on my route I know yeah
our mail carriers really scared of dogs
yeah I think they are when they first
start how many letters do you live every
day
Oh a good guess would be about 1200
letters a day Wow can you explain to us
what happened to a letter after its put
in the mailbox
sure once a letter is put into a mailbox
by a customer the carrier picks it up he
takes it or she takes it with them to
the post office it gets put into a big
truck which will take it to another post
office it'll be run through a machine to
face it all in one direction and then
it'll be ran through another machine
that reads the address and the zip code
meaning a machine can actually read and
a machine can read if it's typewritten
and it's nicely can written it can read
and this machine reads about 33,000
letters an hour Wow what happened with a
kid just writes the addresses kind of
missed it from a kid wrote a letter and
the Machine can't read it then people
will read it and place the address into
a machine and then the machine will
print it out on it for it ah and what
happens after it'll be separated into
zones and it'll go to another bigger
post-office
it'll be ran through another machine
that will separate it into each city and
then will be sent to that machine that
city and the clerk's will hand
distribute it to certain routes and then
the letter cured will deliver it to the
home is the job fun I enjoy it I enjoy a
lot thank you very much for joining us
it's definitely been interesting thank
you very much
I had no idea that it takes so many
people to get a letter from one place to
another either then into bed is up q um
