00:00The End
00:30The End
01:00I asked my doctor how long a beauty sleep should take to be effective, and he said, in your case, I'd say about 20 years.
01:07He must have been kidding, don't you think? Or don't you?
01:11Well, it's time for school to start, so as one stopping said to the other, I've got to run.
01:30Hello, cuties.
01:35Hi, Jess.
01:39We will now do our exercises. Are you ready?
01:42Ready?
01:43Lift your left foot, now your right foot.
01:46Go ahead, I'll wait for you.
01:48You take the whole room and I say hello.
01:51Have you got it?
01:52Now let's go, please.
01:54Now where are you?
01:58Next, we will have our questions.
02:01Willie, what are the chief races of mankind?
02:04Oh, the chief races of mankind are the Kentucky Derby and the Irish Sweet States.
02:10Elmer, tell us what the hide of a cow is used for.
02:15Huh? Who? Me?
02:17Yes, you.
02:18Oh, gosh. Must I tell?
02:23Yes, you must.
02:24Come, come.
02:25Well, gosh.
02:27The hide of a cow is used to cover the cow.
02:49So, you're late again. What's your excuse this time?
02:52Well, I left home early and was running along, minding my own business.
02:57When suddenly, I was attacked by a tribe of savage Indians.
03:01Indians? Blackfeet?
03:03Blackfeet. How should I know? They were wearing shoes.
03:07Anyway, they chased me to the edge of a great big cliff.
03:10They had me cornered.
03:11Goodness, what did you do?
03:13I jumped off and fell and fell and fell and fell
03:16until I landed in an eagle's nest on the side of the cliff.
03:20Mercy!
03:20Well, sir, just then the eagle came back.
03:24Was it a bald eagle?
03:25Was it a bald eagle?
03:26No, he was wearing a toupee.
03:28Well, I held so still that he thought my head was an egg.
03:32That's what I call using your beam.
03:33Pretty soon, he discovered me, and there I was,
03:36face to face with a man-eating eagle.
03:38We had a terrific struggle,
03:40and finally I was thrown out into space.
03:43I landed in front of a cave
03:44and out stepped an enormous bear.
03:47A cinnamon bear?
03:48A cinnamon bear.
03:49How do I know what flavor?
03:51There I was, completely disarmed.
03:54But I fought him, and I fought him,
03:55and I fought him with my bare hands
03:57until finally I threw him and got away.
04:01And so, here I am.
04:07Why?
04:08I never heard of such a fabrication in my life.
04:10If you persist in telling such stories,
04:12just what do you expect to be when you grow up?
04:15What do I expect to be when I grow up?
04:16Well, listen, and I'll tell you.
04:18I want to be an engineer, like Casey Jones or better.
04:24And if a cow sat on the track, I'd stop the train and let her.
04:28Ooh, ooh, choo, choo, choo, 1999 is true.
04:32Everybody clear the tracks, the fly is coming through.
04:36I want to be a movie star, a vision, dressed in sable.
04:44I couldn't help being popular in scenes with Clarkie Gable.
04:48Now they're acting on the set, my husband, she got grace.
04:52She'd make a love this color if it wasn't for her face.
04:56A fireman's what I crave to be, and those in danger say,
05:04nothing ever bothers me.
05:06Oh, heavens, but I'm brave.
05:08The siren shrieked at three alarm and first he's in a trance.
05:12His engine took off like a charm, but he forgot his hands.
05:20Now I intend to lead a band composed of rhythm boys.
05:24And even if we don't play grand, we'll make a lot of noise.
05:32Well, shut my mouth.
05:33If Dad ain't keen, you sure's a swell bandmaster.
05:36I'd like to do my dance routine, so please, sir, swing it faster.
05:54I'm scared.
06:05I'd like to do my dance routine.
06:06I'd like to do my dance routine.
06:07Let's do it.
06:08Let's do it.
06:08Let's do it.
06:12Let's do it.
06:14THE END
06:44THE END
