00:00We got a handful of songs to sing you

00:10Can't stop my voice when it longs to sing you

00:14New songs and blues songs and songs to bring you

00:17Happiness, no more no less

00:20Ba-do-ba-da-do-da-ba-do-da-do-da-do-do

00:24Hello everybody

00:25Hello, hello Emria

00:27Hi

00:27Would you like a surprise?

00:28Oh, is it a nice one?

00:30I think so

00:30Look behind us and see who you can see

00:32Oh, Keith, it's a dragon

00:34Ah, but it's not an ordinary common or garden dragon

00:36Take another look

00:37Oh, the poor thing's crying

00:41Of course, it's Puff the magic dragon

00:44Yes, you couldn't be frightened of Puff, could you?

00:46Oh no

00:47Now Danny's drawn Puff the magic dragon crying

00:50But this dragon, drawn by Ross Gallagher, is breathing fire

00:54Which is what dragons are supposed to do

00:56Do you think Puff's tears put the flames out in Danny's picture?

01:00I should think so

01:01I should think so

01:01But now, James Hall has sent us the crayon dragon

01:04With blue scales on a pink body

01:06And some orange flames coming out of his mouth

01:08Well done, James

01:09Now here's the story of Puff

01:11Puff the magic dragon

01:13Puff the magic dragon lived by the sea

01:18And frolicked in the autumn mist

01:21In a land called Honolulu

01:24Little Jackie paper loved that rascal Puff

01:30And bought him string and sealing wax

01:33And other fancy stuff

01:36Together they went sailing

01:39On a boat with billowed sail

01:42Jackie kept a lookout

01:44Jackie kept a lookout

01:45Birched on Puff's gigantic tail

01:48Noble knights and princes

01:51Would bow when ere they came

01:54And pirate ships would lure their flags

01:58When Puff roared out his name

02:00Now dragons live forever

02:03But not so little boys

02:06Painted wings and giant rings

02:10Make way for other toys

02:13One grey night it happened

02:15Jackie pepper came no more

02:18On Puff the magic dragon

02:21He ceased his fearless roar

02:24Teardrops filled his eyes

02:28Green scales fell like rain

02:30Puff no longer went to play

02:34Along the cherry lane

02:36Without his lifelong friend

02:40Puff could not be brave

02:43So Puff the magic dragon

02:46Sadly slipped into his cave

02:49Oh Puff the magic dragon

02:52Lived by the sea

02:55And frolicked in the autumn mist

02:58In a land called Honolulu

03:01Puff the magic dragon

03:05Lived by the sea

03:07And frolicked in the autumn mist

03:11In a land called Honolulu

03:15Oh, that is sad

03:20Yes

03:21Couldn't we sing a jolly song next?

03:23How about a jolly marching song?

03:24Hmm

03:25Now Clare Whittaker

03:26Has sent us this lovely picture

03:28Of the grand old Duke of York

03:29And his ten thousand men

03:30Matching up the hill

03:32And falling down the other side

03:33By the looks of things

03:34Well it is the quickest way down you know

03:36But Lindsay and Christopher

03:37Have drawn a nice gentle slope

03:40For the soldiers to march down

03:41Which is just as well

03:42Because that great big gun

03:43Would run away from them

03:44If it was any steeper

03:45Oh, well there's no such problem

03:47In this picture

03:48By Andrew John Oakley

03:50He's just sent us

03:51Lots of brightly coloured soldiers

03:52And I've decided

03:54They must be from

03:55The Duke of York's regiment

03:56Oh, I think you must be right

03:57Now there's two more pictures

03:59There's this one

04:00By Sarah Fletcher

04:01Which shows three redcoats

04:03No, six redcoats

04:04On top of the hill

04:04And the last picture

04:06From David Smith

04:07Just shows the Duke himself

04:08On his horse

04:09Oh

04:09Right everyone

04:11Get ready to march round the room

04:13While we sing the song

04:14Right

04:14The grand old Duke of York

04:18He had ten thousand men

04:20He marched them up

04:22To the top of the hill

04:23And he marched them down again

04:24And when they were up

04:26They were up

04:27And when they were down

04:28They were down

04:29And when they were only

04:30Half way up

04:31They were neither up nor down

04:33There, were you marching round the room?

04:36If you were, I bet you're puffed

04:37Well you can sit down now

04:39Because it's story time

04:40And there's no need to guess

04:42Who the story's about

04:43Because we're up to here in elephants

04:44Oh gosh

04:45Let's have a closer look at this one

04:47By Christine Rogers

04:48She's been traced from a picture

04:50Of the baby elephant

04:51In Walt Disney's Jungle Book

04:53That's a clever idea, Christine

04:55And look, she's got a suitcase on her trunk

04:57And if you need another clue

04:59Pauline Samuel's elephant

05:01Is running away from a circus tent

05:03Only she's forgotten to pack her trunk

05:05Or is it a suitcase she carried in her trunk?

05:07Oh, I'm getting confused

05:08Oh dear

05:09Well Pauline's brother Mark isn't confused

05:11He's drawn a lovely black elephant

05:13Written the word

05:15Circus on the brightly coloured tent

05:16And at the top he says

05:18Please play and sing

05:19Nelly the Elephant

05:20Did you know it was our friend Nelly?

05:22Of course, who else?

05:25To Bombay

05:27A travelling circus came

05:29They brought an intelligent elephant

05:32And Nelly was her name

05:34One dark night

05:35She slipped her chain

05:38And off she ran to Hindustan

05:40And was never seen again

05:42Nelly the Elephant packed her trunk

05:44And said goodbye to the circus

05:46Off she went with her trumpety-trump

05:48Trump, trump, trump

05:49Nelly the Elephant packed her trunk

05:52And trundled back to the jungle

05:54Off she went with her trumpety-trump

05:56Trump, trump, trump

05:58Night by night

06:00She danced to the circus band

06:02When Nelly was leading the big parade

06:04She looked so proud and grand

06:06No more tricks

06:08For Nelly to perform

06:10They taught her how to take a bow

06:12And she took the crowd by storm

06:14Nelly the Elephant packed her trunk

06:16And said goodbye to the circus

06:18Off she went with her trumpety-trump

06:20Trump, trump, trump

06:22Nelly the Elephant packed her trunk

06:24And trundled back to the jungle

06:26Off she went with her trumpety-trump

06:28Trump, trump, trump

06:30The head of the herd was calling

06:32Far, far away

06:34They met one night in the silver light

06:36On the road to Mandalay

06:38So Nelly the Elephant packed her trunk

06:40And said goodbye to the circus

06:42Off she went with her trumpety-trump

06:44Trump, trump, trump

06:46Thanks, Maria

06:48Now we've got lots of requests for you to sing

06:50A Windmill in Old Amsterdam

06:51Oh, yes

06:51But now I've been asked to sing

06:53Tulips from Amsterdam

06:54And as Matthew Bauer

06:55Has sent us this lovely picture

06:57To go with the song

06:58How can I refuse

06:59When it's spring again

07:05I'll bring again

07:07Tulips from Amsterdam

07:09With a heart that's me

07:12I'll bring to you

07:14Tulips from Amsterdam

07:17I can't wait until the day you fill

07:22These eager arms of mine

07:24Like the windmill

07:27Keeps on turning

07:28That's how my heart

07:30Keeps on yearning

07:32For the day when I can

07:35Burn these tulips from Amsterdam

07:38When it's spring again

07:41I'll bring again

07:43Tulips from Amsterdam

07:46With a heart that's true

07:49I'll bring to you

07:50I'll bring to you

07:51Tulips from Amsterdam

07:53I can't wait until the day you fill

07:58These empty arms of mine

08:01Like the windmill

08:03Keeps on turning

08:04That's how my heart

08:06Keeps on yearning

08:08For the day I know we can

08:11Share these tulips

08:14From Amsterdam

08:16Isn't that a pretty song?

08:21It is

08:22I am looking forward to spring

08:23And to seeing the tulips

08:24I really don't like the cold weather at all

08:26And neither does the robin

08:27In our next song

08:29Oh

08:29The north wind doth blow

08:33And we shall have snow

08:36And what will poor robin do then?

08:40Poor thing

08:41He'll sit in a barn

08:43And keep himself warm

08:45And hide his head under his wing

08:48Poor thing

08:50The north wind doth blow

08:52And we shall have snow

08:54And what will poor robin do then?

08:58Poor thing

08:58He'll sit in a barn

09:01And keep himself warm

09:03And hide his head under his wing

09:06Poor thing

09:07Poor thing indeed

09:09I think I'll start knitting woolly socks

09:12For all the chilly robins

09:13That's a good idea

09:14They've already got those smart red pullovers

09:16So you'd better buy some red wool

09:18Right?

09:19And some tiny knitting needles

09:21Yes

09:21We are, though, don't we?

09:23Shall we sing a silly song?

09:24Right

09:25Do you know a man called Michael Finnegan?

09:28I can't say I do

09:29What's he been up to?

09:31Well, I'll tell you

09:31I know a man called Michael Finnegan

09:36He grew whiskers on his chin-a-gan

09:38Along came the wind and blew their min-a-gan

09:40Poor old Michael Finnegan begin again

09:43I know a man called Michael Finnegan

09:45He grew whiskers on his chin-a-gan

09:47Along came the wind and blew their min-a-gan

09:49Poor old Michael Finnegan. Begin again

09:51I know a man called Michael Finnegan

09:54He grew whiskers on his chin-nigan

09:56And blew them in again

09:58Poor old Michael Finnegan. Begin again

10:01I know a man called Michael Finnegan

10:03He grew whiskers on his chin-nigan

10:05Long came the wind and blew them in again

10:07Poor old Michael Finnegan. Begin again

10:10Goodbye, Tommy thing. And go bye to all of you

10:13poor old Mac.

10:15Poor old Keith got back.

10:17I haven't – I've got the guitar, you see.

10:18Bye-bye, everybody. See you next week.

10:20Cheat. Bye.

10:22I've got a handful of songs to sing you

10:25Can't stop my voice when it longs to sing you

10:29New songs and blues songs are songs to bring you

10:32Happiness, no more, no less

10:35More over wherever we may roam to

10:38Or any show that we may be blown to

10:41We know that we're going to feel at home too

10:45La Bella, musica, jazz and cha-cha-cha

10:51Calypso and street bender cries

10:54Strings of old refrain

10:57Sleepy time, baby, lullaby

11:01We've got a handful of songs to sing you
