what are you doing recycling Billy what

does that mean recycling means using

stuff again like this old paper i don't

get it okay here's an example paper is

made from trees but you can also make

new paper by taking old paper and

washing it and cleaning it and then it's

as good as new paper again wow so if we

get all this paper to the recycling

center that means they'll make it into

new paper and less trees will get cut

down oh that is very very cool cutting

down trees is not cool it's not good at

all but saving trees I like it i really

really like it i really want to be part

of this recycling drive me too let's

think about what we could do to help

host Kub in three two this next song is

The Purple People

a kid song's favorite it tells the story

of what happened the day the purple

people leave the same earth where did he

come from another planet but I'm not

sure which one one thing I'm sure of is

that when he got here he made a big

impression so let's check him out in his

theme song The Purple People Leader well

we saw the thing coming out of the sky

long big I was shaking and a city it

looks like the purple people eating me

it was one purple one one

purple one

purple strange to me one eye when it

came down to

earth I said

"Mr don't be mean." I heard him say "I

was so gruff." I wouldn't eat you cuz

you're so tough it wasn't

one eater one one purple eater one fine

purple strange to me why the purple

people what's your life eating purple

people and it sure is fine what is the

reason that you came to land i want to

get a job in a rock and roll band

[Music]

well

sight to

[Applause]

[Music]

see on the ground and start a rocker it

was a crazy day and we were swinging to

the

singing balloon bamboo well so rock and

roll people

i like short shorts people what sight to

say

william I saw him last night on a TV

show he was blowing it out really

knocking rock and roll music through the

hole in his head

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

you know guys we go through an awful lot

of paper on this show with our scripts

and schedules and stuff why don't we

recycle it all we can put a few boxes

around and remind everybody to put the

used paper in the boxes instead of the

trash hey maybe we can do it all over

the station can you imagine how much

paper this station goes through in one

day it's very important that we save

paper cuz if we don't more trees will

get cut down and I don't like that one

bit you're absolutely right Billy we're

going to get everyone in the station

into the recycling habit it's going to

work watch i think we better watch what

we're doing the clip is ending janessa

cue the host in five four three two and

Take Me Out to the Ball Game

two this next video should be dedicated

to our technical director Hassan it's

about his favorite subject baseball

baseball i think a lot of kids dream

about being professional baseball

players including the kids songs kids in

this video and another Kids song kid in

our control booth so Asan this one's for

you it's called Take Me Out to the Ball

Game

[Music]

take me out to the ball game take me out

rout it's up to you to get out there and

save the

team remember you can do wonderful

things with your life if you really

believe in your dreams go get them kid

Oh Dear What Should the Color Be

next song is about colors all kinds of

colors there's so many that the famous

painter Pierre of Paris can't make up

his mind which one to use in his new

painting pierre is a friend of the Kids

hey kids this paper's from the news

department i've got another 30 loads for

you 30 loads and all these cans and

bottles are from the cafeteria how many

days worth of stuff is that just two but

it's so much you bet we feed over 200

people two meals a day plus snacks we go

through a lot of stuff wow i got it what

an idea to help with the recycling drive

oh good i'm really into this recycling

drive my dad owns a trucking company

i'll call him after the show and ask him

if he can help us bring the stuff to the

recycling center great idea you might be

Recycling Song

wondering why we're sitting here

surrounded by garbage because it's

almost as good as gold the garbage is as

good as gold just about see this paper

is just as valuable as the tree it came

from and this plastic bottle is really

oil drilled from deep under the world's

oceans and these cans are really

aluminum one of the earth's most

valuable minerals i think I'm with you

are you saying it looks like garbage but

it's really precious stuff you got it

all of us here at the Kids TV show have

gotten into recycling and we want you

kids at home to get into it too as the
