00:39Oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy!
00:41I'm... I'm a little nervous.
00:43What if I forget my words?
00:45Oh, don't worry, Bert.
00:46I have all the words for the show right here in my bag.
00:49Wow, no kidding!
00:50That's right.
00:51So don't worry about forgetting any of your words, Bert.
00:54All you have to worry about now is forgetting your dance steps.
00:58Dance steps?
00:59What dance steps?
01:02Ernie, what dance steps?
01:09Welcome to Bert and Ernie's Word Play!
01:19Starring some of your favorite words like...
01:23Go!
01:25Cookie!
01:27Slippery!
01:29Sticky!
01:31And fun!
01:34Now, here are the hosts of our show, Bert and Ernie!
01:39Bert, what are you standing there for?
01:41Ernie's not here.
01:42Will you get out of there?
01:45Damages.
01:46Ernie, Ernie, Ernie.
01:49I'm right here, Bert.
01:50Ernie, I don't have any dance steps.
01:53Well, then you don't have to worry about them, do you, Bert?
01:56Ernie!
01:58Hi there, everybody.
01:59Welcome to our show.
02:01The show where we play around with words.
02:06Say hello, Bert.
02:07Bert?
02:08Bert?
02:10Oh, Bert, you can relax.
02:12These are all our friends out there, right?
02:16So say hello, buddy Bert.
02:19Hello, buddy Bert.
02:22They're laughing.
02:24Bert, why are they laughing?
02:26You like me.
02:27You really like me.
02:29They sure do, Bert.
02:31Keep it up, buddy.
02:32So, we've got lots of great words for you today, folks.
02:35In fact, we're going to start with this word right here.
02:38And that word starts with the letter F.
02:44F!
02:45And that word ends with the letter N.
02:48N!
02:51Now all we need, Bert, now all we need, let's see here, is a U.
02:56We put the U right there and we have this word.
02:59Read it, everybody.
03:01Fun!
03:03Say, say, Ernie, we're having some fun now.
03:09Yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:11We sure are, Bert.
03:12And I'm glad everybody's having fun reading
03:15because reading is a very important part of our pie-flying finale.
03:19Yeah, our pie-flying...
03:21That's right.
03:22We have a pie-flying finale.
03:24Yep.
03:25And we have a special pie-flying word.
03:28Thank you, Mo.
03:29Where'd we get all these stagehands?
03:31And here is the pie-flying word.
03:34Go.
03:36When someone reads that word, our special guest, Ho-Ho the Great Pie Guy, gets a pie in the face.
03:43Great Pie Guy?
03:45Bring in the pie-throwing machine.
03:49Look at that!
03:51Yeah, amazing, huh, Bert?
03:53How's it work?
03:54Well, you see, when the chicken hears the special word, she lays an egg.
03:59Now the egg rolls down that chute, hits that little green thingamajiggy there,
04:04and sends a pie flying into the face of Ho-Ho the Great Pie Guy.
04:09That is really neat, Ernie.
04:11It sure is.
04:12Yeah, so let me get this straight.
04:14The chicken lays an egg, it rolls down the chute, hits that doohickey...
04:19Thingamajiggy.
04:20Yeah, whatever.
04:21And sends the pie flying just by reading the word go.
04:31Wow, that machine really works great, doesn't it, Bert?
04:36Yep.
04:37And speaking of words, here are some words that begin with the letter G,
04:41just like the pie-throwing word.
04:47G.
04:48Go!
04:53Girls.
04:56Guitar.
05:01Goldfish.
05:07G.
05:14G.
05:15Goggles.
05:23G.
05:25Gallop.
05:34Gone.
05:36Go, go, go.
05:38Go, go, go, go.
05:40Go, go, go, go, go.
05:42Stop.
05:43Stop.
05:46Stop.
05:48Go, go, go, go.
05:51Go!
05:56Ah-ha.
05:57Hi-ho.
05:58Well, hello, sir, and welcome to the wonderful world of T-shirts.
06:03Good.
06:04Yes, I ordered a T-shirt with my name on it.
06:06Kermit the Frog, just like it says on my shirt right here.
06:09And you said it would be ready today?
06:11Yes, sir.
06:12I never forget a face.
06:14Here it is, your Kermit the Frog T-shirt.
06:18Oh, no.
06:19I don't think that says Kermit the Frog.
06:21That says Kermit the Gorf.
06:23What?
06:24G-O-R-F.
06:25You see, frog is F-R-O-G.
06:28You got the letters kind of mixed up there.
06:30I think you made some kind of mistake.
06:32I never make mistakes.
06:34No, but that says Kermit the Gorf.
06:36And there's no such person named Kermit the Gorf.
06:39Hi, I'm Kermit the Gorf.
06:41Is my T-shirt ready?
06:43Yes, yes.
06:44Here it is, sir.
06:45Your T-shirt.
06:46Wear it in health.
06:47Thanks.
06:48That's Kermit the Gorf?
06:51That's weird.
06:53And now.
06:54Oh, yes, sir.
06:55May I help you?
06:56I told you, I'm Kermit the Frog, and I ordered a Kermit the Frog T-shirt.
07:01Oh, that is a hot item.
07:02Someone else just ordered it.
07:04Here it is.
07:05Kermit the Frog T-shirt.
07:08No, no, no, no.
07:09That says Kermit the Forg.
07:11F-O-R-G.
07:12What?
07:13And my name is Kermit the Frog.
07:15F-R-O-G.
07:17There's no such person as Kermit the Forg.
07:19Now, just a moment, sir.
07:21Hi, I'm Kermit the Forg.
07:23You got my T-shirt?
07:25Of course I do, sir.
07:26Here is your T-shirt.
07:28Thanks.
07:29And thank you.
07:30I don't believe this.
07:32That's really weird.
07:34I'm sorry.
07:35What may I do for you?
07:36I told you, I'm Kermit the Frog.
07:37I want a Kermit the Frog T-shirt.
07:39My, my.

07:48G-R-O-F.
07:50And I'm Kermit the Frog.
07:51F-R-O-G.
07:52Don't you understand?
07:53Now, sir, I understand.
07:54I'm an owner of this shop.
07:56Wait a minute.
07:57Don't tell me you're Kermit the Groff, huh?
07:58Yeah, yeah.
07:59Well, take your T-shirt and get out of here.
08:01Here you are, sir.
08:02Don't mind that customer.
08:04What do you mean, don't mind that customer?
08:05Bye-bye.
08:06Thank you.
08:07Thank you.

15:17Yes, yes.

15:27So are we ready to introduce another word now, Bert?
15:29Oh, sure.
15:30So long as I don't take the pie this time.
15:34Oh, I did it.
15:35Yes, take the pie.
15:36That's true.
15:37Well, no problem there, Bert, because we're
15:39going to take away this special pie-throwing word.
15:41Thank you, Flo.
15:42And we're going to bring in this new fabulous word.
15:45Thank you, Mo.
15:46Goat?
15:47That's right.
15:48Isn't it fabulous, Bert?
15:49Cedar?
15:50Well, it's not exactly my favorite word.
15:52Well, tell that to Henrietta, Bert.
15:56Hey, there's a goat on stage.
15:57That's right.
15:58I can see that.
15:59And you know what else is fabulous, Bert?
16:01I'm sharing the stage with a goat.
16:03There's more to the word goat than the word goat.
16:07Yep.
16:08You see, if I were to take this G and slide it down here,
16:11then I should take this A and slide it down here like that.
16:13Then I take this letter T and put it in front of the O,
16:16I would make the word tube, like a present that says,
16:20tube, Bert.
16:21Oh, I get it.
16:23You can make smaller words from the word goat.
16:25Sure can.
16:26Like this letter A, for instance.
16:28I can put it right up here and move those two letters down,
16:31and I have the word A, like you're a goat.
16:36Not you, Bert.
16:37I know that.
16:38Or I can take this letter A and I can add to it this letter T,
16:42and I have at.
16:44Ah.
16:45Like at the pigeon parade.
16:47Exactly.
16:48Yeah.
16:49Oh, oh, oh.
16:50Ernie, Ernie, Ernie.
16:51You can also take the letter G and the letter O.
16:55Yeah, yeah.
16:56Take those other letters down.
16:57All right, all right.
16:58Take the G.
16:59G.
17:00The G there, yeah, and the O.
17:01Yeah.
17:02And you can make the word go.
17:04Yeah.
17:05Oh.
17:06Oh.
17:10Oh, dear.
17:13Hey, Bert.
17:14Maybe this song will make you feel better.
17:19Maybe just another napkin?
17:21Mm-hmm.
17:22Hmm?
17:23Ah.
17:24Ah.
17:25Ah.
17:26Ah.
17:29I am chicken.
17:30Hear me squawk.
17:31Hear me crow and hear me bawk.
17:33Watch me rule my roost and strut around my coop.
17:38People say I've got great legs and they're nuts about my eggs.
