Animal Friends

Thank you very much Mr Forbes for

agreeing to an interview Oh it's my

pleasure Brooke So what is your angle

going to be with this interview i

thought we should do a story on each

member of the management team So when

did you first join the station oh I

first joined the station 15 years ago I

came straight out of college What was

your first job working in the tape vault

keeping track of all the tapes for all

the shows Was that fun no it was boring

but I was happy to be working in

television so I enjoyed it What's

happening Billy everyone's starting

their jobs on the newspaper What are you

guys going to do i want to work on the

design and layout of it I have some

ideas on how it should look I love art

Can I help you sure thing k*ll the host

If there's one thing we love on this

show it's our animal friends This next

video stars the fluffy white rooster

beautiful Himalayan cats and a lovely

old gray mare So let's visit them down

at the animal I went to the animal The

birds and the beasts were there The big

by the line in the room was combing a

hair You ought to have seen the monk He

jumped on the elephant trunk The

elephant seized and fell on his knees

And what became of the monk and what

became of the

monk our kids song's animal family is

very special to us They're very friendly

and so so sweet So let's be careful in

how we handle them Can I pick them up

sure you can

[Music]

Scooping up the field and popping them

on the head Down came the fairy and she

said "Little bunny boo I don't like your

attitude Scooping up the field and

popping them on the head I'll give you

three chances and if you don't behave

I'll turn you into a goon."

That cat looks like the one in my

bedtime story book

cat cat where have you been

i've been up to London to look at the

king cat cat what did

you chair

i'm going to teach you a nursery rhyme

about a black sheep We already know it

[Music]

Ba black sheep have you any w yes sir

yes sir three bags full One for my

master and one for my dame and one for

the little boy that lives down the lane

This horse is named Apache and she's

lived at Camp Kid Songs for 14 years

She's getting a little old and gets

tired a bit easily but she's still the

best horse a kid could ever

have The old

mar she ain't what she used to be Many

long years ago

many long years ago

Look at that fluffy rooster That's a

Chinese silky rooster and his name is

Gus I had a little rooster by the old

gate And that little rooster was my clay

mate And that little rooster

said

[Music]

de I went to the animal fair The birds

and the beasts were there The big and

the light of the moon was going in a

hair You ought to have seen the monk He

jumped on the elephant's trunk The

elephant seized and fell on his knees

And what became of the monk and what

became of the month So I'll take

Trucks Song

pictures of all the new things that have

been added to the studio lately like the

new bigle sign and I'll take notes and

write the story Let's start over at the

new lunchroom It's very popular

You're introducing I like trucks next

Got it This next song's trucks Not only

do kids love them but we all really need

them Trucks move just about everything

around from delivering milk to your door

and food to your market Trucks even

bring cars to the dealership and gas to

the gas station So as the song says I

like trucks

Big or small I like them still I like

trucks I always will I

like shiny red with a ladder So long a

milk truck comes before I wait for milk

to make me strong A garbage truck a

pickup truck They're also big and tough

Oh and when I see them I can't seem to

get enough Cuz I like trucks I always

will Big or small I like them still I

like trucks I always will I

like moving truck carries things you

want to move around

and go between every city and town I

guess I just appreciate all the things

that they can do And when I can drive

one it'll make my dreams come

true I like tricks I always will Big or

small I like them still I like I always

will I like

trucks I like

trucks I

like them Looks like we're all set for

Question Time

question time We are indeed Good Roll

the graphic in three two one and take

it And cue Aaron All of us here at Kids

Songs are very interested in what it

takes to make a newspaper So we invited

Pat Morrison of the Los Angeles Times to

explain it all to us today on Question

Time with Lindsay Bartles Welcome Pat

Thank you Aaron And thank you Pat

Morrison for joining us today Why do we

have newspapers we have newspapers

because we can't be everywhere we need

to be to know the things we know You

need to know about pollution about

what's going on in Washington about

what's going on in Russia And you can't

be in all those places but reporters can

We have reporters in China and Japan and

Africa All of them to bring news to you

about what's going on in the rest of the

world Wow So what do reporters do and

how do they do it reporters get up very

early in the morning and they talk to

their editors and they figure out what

is the thing I have to write about today

What should people know should they know

about government should they know about

the space shuttle should they know about

sports sometimes and we do like sports a

lot So who else works at a newspaper

well there are editors of course and

photographers to get the pictures you

see in the newspaper There are people

who write the headlines that you see

there on page one and in the newspaper

There are people who sell the

advertising that you look at There are

people who buy the comic strips There

are people who put together the

horoscopes to read to see what's going

to happen to you today There's a lot of

people who put together the newspaper

physically And the last person to touch

it is the person who delivers it to your

doorstep Cool So finally what advice do

you have for kids that want to work on a

newspaper well first of all you have to

be curious Are you curious i'm very good

That's a very good start You have to

want to know about other people in other

places people who speak different

languages and live in different ways

from you And you have to read the

newspaper every day in order to find out

about all those people too It's a pretty

good bargain isn't it yeah So thank you

so much for joining us today We learned

so much Thank you Lindsay The bigles are

Sing Along

out what I want to do for the newspaper
