I don't really know what happened when I

sat down to write the script I got a

case of the giggles and everything just

came out real silly well that's funny

silly ones know that you mentioned I

feel big silly

today I want to wear a hat today

me too nice job on the set today mark I

want to get carried away with it either

work hard to control myself not get too

silly I know what you need I wanted to

start the TV show with the camera upside

have fun fun fun till our Bostic at the

studio way no really have a good time

but seriously today we're going to teach

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

both fly

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

who can take a rainbow

and rapper to the side

[Music]

some good some make a tasty lemon pie

the Candyman oh the Candy Man can

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

to put in a dream separate the sorrowing

collect appalled cream the Candyman

as the water rides in the theme park you

I think we have a song on the subject

[Music]

[Applause]

it until you know it you can do a Billy

I know you're clear Michael Finnegan is

with the special effects in this video

and it's such a silly song cue him there

was an old man named Michael Finnegan he

had whiskers on his chin again the wind

blew them off and blew them on you let's

watch the story of Michael Finnegan

begin again

[Music]

I can begin again

[Music]

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
