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

00:09Can't stop my voice when it longs to sing you

00:12New songs and blues, songs and songs to bring you

00:15Happiness, no more nor less

00:18Ba-do-da-do-da-ba-do-da-ba-do-da-do-do-do

00:21Hi there!

00:22Hello everybody, I hope you're all well

00:24Oh yes, you're going to need all your energy to sing along with us today

00:27Keith, you are the only person I know who gets tired singing nursery rhymes

00:33Well, some of these songs last two minutes

00:36Gosh, really?

00:38Really

00:38That long?

00:39Mm-hmm

00:40I bet you're as fit as a fiddle

00:42Oh yes, I have to keep in training

00:43Even my fingers need exercise

00:45Ooh, they look like spiders

00:47Ah, but how about this great big black spider from Timmy Molling?

00:52We're not going to start with a spider song, are we?

00:55Well, Timmy's brother Adam has sent us a picture as well

00:58So we could start with his request, if he'd prefer it

01:02Aren't they pretty colours?

01:03Hmm

01:04Is it a nice song that Adam has requested?

01:06Yes, Adam would like to hear cock-a-doodle-doo

01:09And then we can sing Insumency Spider for Timmy

01:12Then I thought we'd sing There's a Hole in My Bucket

01:14Hey, don't tell me all the songs

01:18There'll be no surprises

01:19Well, if it's surprise you want

01:21Boom

01:22Gosh, I think we ought to start singing right away

01:25Cock-a-doodle-doo

01:29My dame has lost her shoe

01:31My master's lost his fiddling stick

01:33And doesn't know what to do

01:35Cock-a-doodle-doo

01:37My dame has found her shoe

01:39My master's found his fiddling stick

01:41And he will play with you

01:43Uh-oh, it's spider time

01:48Very true

01:49Take a deep breath and off we go

01:51The Incy Wincy Spider climbed up the water spout

01:57Down came the rain and washed poor Incy out

02:01Out came the sun and dried up all the rain

02:05Now the Incy Wincy Spider climbed up the spout again

02:10That wasn't too bad

02:12Yeah

02:12He's quite a nice chap, that Incy

02:14As long as he keeps scuttling up and down the drainpipe

02:17Quite

02:17Now, it's that naughty spider

02:19The one that frightened Miss Muffet that you don't like, isn't it?

02:22Right

02:22Now, how about this hole in your bucket?

02:25It's an awfully long song, you know

02:26I bet it's more than two minutes

02:28You'll never manage it without a tea break in the middle

02:31Well, I thought we might speed it up a little

02:33We?

02:34Oh yes, don't you remember

02:36You've got to pretend to be the bossy Lisa

02:38And I've got to pretend to be the stupid Henry

02:41That should be tricky

02:43Oh

02:44Have we got a picture to go with the song?

02:46Yes

02:47Here are Lisa and Henry drawn by Heather and Michelle Jacobs

02:52And there's the bucket with a hole in it

02:54How on earth can you carry water in a bucket with a hole in it?

02:57I was going to ask you that

02:58There's a hole in my bucket, dear Liza, dear Liza

03:03There's a hole in my bucket, dear Liza, a hole

03:06Then fix it, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry

03:10Then fix it, dear Henry, dear Henry

03:12Fix it

03:13With what shall I fix it?

03:15Dear Liza, dear Liza

03:16With what shall I fix it?

03:18Dear Liza, with what?

03:20With a straw

03:21Dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry

03:23With a straw

03:24Dear Henry, dear Henry

03:26With a straw

03:26But the straw is too long

03:28Dear Liza, dear Liza

03:30Straw is too long

03:32Dear Liza, too long

03:33Then cut it, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry, then cut it, dear Henry, dear Henry, cut it.

03:40With what shall I cut it, dear Liza, dear Liza? With what shall I cut it, dear Liza? With what?

03:47With an axe, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry, with an axe, dear Henry, dear Henry, with an axe.

03:54But the axe is too dull, dear Liza, dear Liza. The axe is too dull, dear Liza, too dull.

04:00Well, sharpen it, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry, well, sharpen it, dear Henry, dear Henry, sharpen it.

04:07With what shall I sharpen it, dear Lyser, dear Lyser? With what shall I sharpen it, dear Lyser? With what?

04:14Try a stone, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry, try a stone, dear Henry, dear Henry, try a stone.

04:20The stone is too dry, dear Lyser, dear Lyser, but the stone is too dry, dear Lyser, far too dry.

04:27Then wet it, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry, then wet it, dear Henry, dear Henry, then wet it.

04:33With what shall I wet it, dear Liza, dear Liza?

04:36With what shall I wet it, dear Liza, with what?

04:40With water, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry, try water, dear Henry, dear Henry, try water.

04:47In what shall I fetch it, dear Liza, dear Liza?

04:49In what shall I fetch it, dear Liza?

04:52In what?

04:52In a bucket, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry, in a bucket, dear Henry, dear Henry, in a bucket.

05:00There's a hole in my bucket, dear Eliza, dear Eliza, there's a hole in my bucket, dear Eliza.

05:06Oh, that was crafty. I'm not so sure Henry is the stupid one.

05:12And it's not me either, because I've got a picture here from Helen Burke.

05:15And Helen would like you to sing a song of sixpence for her.

05:18So that you can have a rest?

05:20Yes, it's very thoughtful of Helen, wasn't it?

05:22Yes, wasn't it? Never mind. Here's the song, Helen.

05:27Sing a song of sixpence, a pocket full of rye.

05:31Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie.

05:35When the pie was open, the birds began to sing.

05:39Wasn't that a tasty dish to set before a king?

05:43The king was in his counting house, counting out his money.

05:46The queen was in the parlour, eating bread and honey.

05:50The maid was in the garden, hanging out the clothes.

05:55When down came a blackbird and pecked off her nose.

05:59Ooh, I always have to touch my nose after I've sung that song, just to make sure it's still there.

06:04Yes, well, it looks OK from here. I'd certainly miss mine, because I sing through it, you know.

06:10What song is your nose going to sing next?

06:12Well, I thought, or rather my nose than I thought, that we would do.

06:17Three mice went into a hole to spin.

06:19Not, er, the hole in the bucket?

06:21No, just an ordinary mouse hole.

06:22Oh, very comfy, I'm sure.

06:24But not very safe.

06:27Three mice went into a hole to spin.

06:30Pussy passed by and she peeped in.

06:33What are you doing, my fine little men?

06:36Wear weaving coats for gentlemen.

06:40Can I come in and bite off the threads?

06:42Oh, no, Mistress Pussy, you'd bite off our heads.

06:46Oh, no, Mistress Pussy, you'd bite off our heads.

06:49Said Puss, you look most wondrous wise.

06:52I love your whiskers and big brown eyes.

06:55Your house is the nicest house I've seen.

06:58There must be room for you and me.

07:01The mice were so pleased that they opened the door.

07:04And the Pussycat chased them all over the floor.

07:07The Pussycat chased them all over the floor.

07:12Oh, dear.

07:14Now we've got a song about someone else who's in trouble.

07:17It's Dr Foster.

07:18Is that naughty Pussycat chasing Dr Foster too?

07:21No, no.

07:22As you can see from Karen Rose Anchor's drawing,

07:24Dr Foster has gone out in a shower of multicoloured rain

07:27and fallen in a puddle.

07:29You don't say.

07:33Dr Foster went to Gloucester in a shower of rain.

07:39He stepped in a puddle right up to his middle

07:41and never went there again.

07:44Oh, I don't blame him at all.

07:47You do get some nasty accidents when there's water around.

07:50Just look at these two.

07:52Now, they were sent to fetch a pail of water.

07:54But it looks as if Jill is balancing on Jack's shoulders.

07:58That wouldn't be Jack and Jill, would it?

08:00Afraid so.

08:00Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water.

08:09Jack fell down and broke his crown and Jill came tumbling after.

08:15Up Jack got and home did trot as fast as he could caper.

08:20He went to bed and patched his head with vinegar and brown paper.

08:28Everything seems to have gone wrong today in our song.

08:30Couldn't we end with a happy song?

08:32Certainly.

08:34Piper Wilkins has asked us to sing a knick-knack paddywhack

08:37and he sent us this picture.

08:39And there's no falling into puddles or downhills?

08:42Nope.

08:43And no one gets chased by a pussycat?

08:45Right.

08:45That's the one for me.

08:46Off we go.

08:49This old man, he played one

08:51He played knick-knack on my drum

08:53With a knick-knack paddywhack, give a dog a bone

08:55This old man came rolling home

09:43This old man came rolling home

09:45This old man, he played eight

09:47He played knick-knack on my gate

09:49With a knick-knack patty-whack, give a dog a bone

09:51This old man, he played nine

09:54He played knick-knack on my line

09:56With a knick-knack patty-whack, give a dog a bone

09:58This old man came rolling home

10:00This old man, he played ten

10:01He played knick-knack once again

10:03With a knick-knack patty-whack, give a dog a bone

10:05This old man came rolling home

10:07I must admit, you're right

10:10It is tiring singing these songs

10:12I shall have to go straight into strict training

10:15For next week's programme

10:16Jogging round the kitchen, eh?

10:17Yes

10:17That's the ticket

10:18Hope we haven't worn you out at home

10:20But we'll see you next week

10:21Bye till then

10:29New songs and blue songs

10:31And songs to bring you happiness

10:33No more, no less

10:35Moreover, wherever we may roam to

10:39Or any show that we may be blown to

10:42We know that we're gonna feel at home too
