00:45the scroobious snake, and the outrageous umbrella maker.
00:50Come on, we're putting on the nonsense, the funny stuff, the nonsense,
00:54the riddles, jokes, and silly things, it's all from foolery.
01:06Zebras, welcome at all times.
01:09But there's only one E in zebras.
01:11Picky, picky, picky.
01:13Oh, really, I mean picky, picky, picky.
01:16Picky producer.
01:17I mean picky.
01:18So picky.
01:18Definitely picky.
01:19Today's words of wisdom are, you can lead a horse to water,
01:31but you can't make him drink.
01:33Observe.
01:37A beer.
01:38Oh, the freaky horses they get for the show.
01:55I mean freaky, freaky, freaky, and thirsty.
01:58Well, really, freaky, thirsty horses.
02:01Freaky and thirsty.
02:03Thirsty and freaky.
02:04Well, I'm...
02:05Hey, I'm Brageous.
02:08Yes, yes, yes, yes.
02:10Do you know how to make a mothball?
02:12That's easy.
02:14You just take away his woolen sweater.
02:18That'll make a mothball.
02:21Get it?
02:21Mothball.
02:22Ball.
02:26Don't worry.
02:27We always use nets on this show.
02:29Don't worry.
02:31Me, I worry a little.
02:33Worry, worry, worry.
02:34Oh, yes.
02:35Regular worry word.
02:36Worry, worry, worry.
02:44A song.
02:45Spots of Greece.
02:46My dear papa once went to Greece
02:55And there I understand
02:57He saw no end of lovely spots
03:01About that lovely land
03:03He talks about these spots of Greece
03:07To both mama and me
03:10Yet spots of Greece upon my dress
03:13They cannot bear to see
03:15I cannot make it out at all
03:19If they ever are on my frock
03:22They see the smallest spot of Greece
03:25It gives them quite a shock
03:28Henceforth therefore
03:30To please them both
03:31These spots of Greece no more
03:34Shall be upon my frock at all
03:37Nor on my pinafore
03:39Nor on my pinafore
03:40Henceforth therefore
03:54To please them both
03:56These spots of Greece no more
03:58Shall be upon my frock at all
04:02Nor on my pinafore
04:06Oh, come on, artichokes
04:17Have a heart
04:18Gee, enthusiastic
04:20I can never tell, riddles
04:22Try this, Scrooby
04:23What starts with an E
04:25And ends with an E
04:26And has one letter in it?
04:28I don't know
04:28What starts with an A
04:30And ends with an A
04:31And has one letter in it?
04:33An envelope
04:34Oh, what a jolly riddle
04:37I must try it out
04:38In one of my chums
04:39Hey, Fitzgigius
04:43Don't be so formal
04:44Just call me by my nickname
04:47Fitzgigius
04:48Okay
04:49Listen
04:49What starts with an E
04:52And ends with an E
04:53And you put it in a mailbox
04:55Oh, I did it again
05:00This could go on all day
05:11Spoilsport
05:13Oh, well
05:14A poem
05:15The Wango Tree
05:17The Waggly Bird
05:19Sat on the Wango Tree
05:20Nooping the Rinkum Corn
05:22And graper and graper
05:24Alas grew he
05:25And cursed the day he was born
05:28His croot was plumb
05:29And his voice was rum
05:31As curiously thus sang he
05:33Oh, what I've been rammed
05:36And eternally clammed
05:37Ere I perched on this Wango Tree
05:39Now the Wango Tree
05:41Had a bubbly thorn
05:42As sharp as a knot as Bill
05:45And it stuck in the Waggly Bird's
05:47Umptum Lorne
05:47And Weepage
05:48The smart did thrill
05:50He fumbled and cursed
05:52But that wasn't the worst
05:53For he couldn't at all get free
05:55And he cried
05:56I am gammed
05:58And unjustably rammed
05:59On the luggedly Wango Tree
06:01And there he sits still
06:04With no worm in his bill
06:06Nor no guggledom in his nest
06:08He is hungry and bare
06:10And ga-blittered with care
06:12And his grabbles give him no rest
06:14He is weary and sore
06:16And his tug-mutt is sore
06:17And nothing to knob has he
06:20As he chirps
06:21I am bland and corruptibly jammed
06:24In this kuggedom Wango Tree
06:26Where are you going, Luke?
06:30I am taking this case to court
06:32Oh, that's just silly, huh?
06:35Now, where are you going?
06:38I am taking this case to a higher court
06:41That is the silliest thing I ever
06:43What happened?
06:46What happened?
06:48My case was dropped
06:50Suckatash has identity problems
06:57Come, Enthusiastic
07:03And see my garden
07:05My goodness, what an unusual bush
07:08What did you plant to get that?
07:11What do you think?
07:12Birdseed
07:13Three cheers for rubber bands
07:20Oh, it's terrible
07:23I'm broke
07:24And I'm hungry
07:26I wonder if some of my chums
07:29Could help me out
07:31Hey, Enthusiastic
07:34Yes, Fitzjidious
07:37Call me by my nickname
07:39Fitzjidious
07:40Okay, what is it?
07:43Could you let me have $1.50
07:45For a cup of coffee?
07:47$1.50?
07:49I'm a big tipper
07:50Oh, somebody's got to help me
07:55Oh, youngie
07:58You've got to help me
08:00I haven't had a bite in three days
08:03Hey, X
08:11If buttercups are yellow
08:12What color are hiccups?
08:15Purple
08:15Maybe so
08:17But just remember
08:18A bun is the highest form of bakery
08:20Oh, don't talk about bakeries
08:23I haven't had a bite in three days
08:25Allow me
08:26Ew
08:27What's the difference
08:31Between a red balloon
08:32And a matter baby
08:33What's the matter, baby?
08:36Nothing
08:36What's the matter with you?
08:39You fell for that one
08:42Very funny
08:43But do you realize
08:44You have snoo all over you
08:46Ugh
08:46All that snoo
08:48Snoo?
08:49Snoo?
08:50What's snoo?
08:51Not much
08:52What's snoo with you?
08:53Oh, puns, puns, puns
08:59I can't take any more puns
09:01Not on an empty stomach
09:02I haven't had a bite in three days
09:04You take my teacher
09:08Please, take her
09:10Roses, smell
09:14There was an old man with a beard
09:21Who said it is just as I feared
09:25Two owls and a hen
09:28Four larks and a wren
09:29Have all built their nest in my beard
09:33Dibble-dee-bobble-dee
09:36That makes good sense
09:37Good old nonsense
09:41Dibble-dee-bobble-dee
09:43Ladies and gents
09:45Pennies are pens to me
09:48There was an old person
09:53Of deal
09:53Who in walking
09:55Used only his heel
09:57When they said
09:59Tell us why
10:00He made no reply
10:02That mysterious
10:03Old person
10:04Of deal
10:05Bibble-dee-bobble-dee
10:08That makes good sense
10:09Good old nonsense
10:12Bibble-dee-bobble-dee
10:15Ladies and gents
10:16Pennies are pens to me
10:21There was an old man on a barge
10:26Whose nose was exceedingly large
10:29But in kitchen by night
10:32It supported a light
10:34Which helped that old man on a barge
10:37Bibble-dee-bobble-dee
10:40That makes good sense
10:41Good old nonsense
10:45Bibble-dee-bobble-dee
10:47Ladies and gents
10:49Pennies are pens to me
10:54Da-da-da!
10:58Old Mother Hubbard
10:59Went to the cupboard
11:01To get her poor dog
11:03A bone
11:03But when she got there
11:06The cupboard was bare
11:07Cut!
11:10Cut!
11:11No!
11:11No!
11:12Not bare

11:28Cooking lesson
11:32How to make elephant catch a tori
11:36Why is it always elephants?
11:39Now the first thing in making elephant catch a tori
11:42Is to...
11:43I know, I know
11:44The first thing in making elephant catch a tori
11:46Is to catch an elephant
11:47No, silly
11:49The first thing is to catch a tori
11:52Elephants you can get anywhere
11:54Tories are only found
11:56In the most humidididulous jungles of the warp
11:59Where they are said to build nests
12:02High in the brambles of the dophidious tree
12:05And so you are advised to climb the even higher
12:08More zumbulious bush
12:10And when snugly concealed
12:13Remove your tori catching equipment
12:15Now, we're all ready to catch a tori
12:20Here goes
12:21Oh, too bad, too bad
12:23False alarm
12:24You caught a bus
12:26Oh, you little fella
12:27Throw him back
12:28Oh, looks like you caught a tori this time
12:33Now, bring it home in a strung pummelated bag
12:37And toss it in a pot
12:38Which has been well-hotfaluted
12:40Over a high flim-flam
12:42Now, toss in seven cans of stupid tomatoes
12:46And seven cans of umbrella paste
12:49And seven cans of sassafras puree
12:51Do not sneeze or dance while doing this
12:54And then take one large can of small elephants
12:59Or one small can of large elephants
13:02Whichever is most musical
13:04This is the part I hate
13:06Now, simmer for three years
13:11Or two minutes
13:12Whichever is most perpendicular
13:13And when it's all done
13:16Serve it midday by the light of the noon
13:18That's the best meal I ever tasted in my whole mouth
13:23And now for my recipe
13:26Uh-oh
13:27Yongey-bongy baloney
13:30Yongey-bongy baloney
13:30Yongey-bongy baloney
13:32Tomfoolery unfair to picture tubes
13:39I just lost my pet rabbit
13:46How can I find him?
13:48Make a noise like a carrot
13:51And now for a spooky, creepy play

14:12The Grimble Grumble
14:15Tonight, we attack
14:19The Grimble Grumble
14:21Tonight, we attack

14:49When the moon is high,
14:51we attack the Grimble Grumble.
14:53When the moon is high,
14:55we attack the Grimble Grumble.
14:57When the moon is high,

15:01Is the danger great
15:03from the Grimble Grumble?
15:05Is the danger great from the Grimble Grumble?
15:07Is the danger great
15:09Where's the danger great from the grumble crumble?
15:17Right, great.
15:21Great, where is the grumble crumble now?
15:29Where is the grumble crumble now ?
15:37A hundred miles away.
15:40A hundred miles away?
15:43A hundred miles away?
15:45Then why the heck are we all whispering?
15:48I have a sore throat.
15:55Oh, sloppy, sloppy, sloppy.
15:58That's all just sloppy.
15:59Oh, sloppy, definitely sloppy.
16:01So sloppy.
16:03Brainy Lecture.
16:04Tonight's Brainy Lecture is entitled
16:06How to Handle Dynamite.
16:08Our guest lecturer is
16:10the Fitzgigius Fish.
16:12Let's give him a big hand.
16:21Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
16:22Just call me by my nickname,
16:24Butterfingers.
16:28Meanwhile, back at the wrench.
16:31Ways and Means.
16:34I'll tell thee everything I can.
16:36There's little to relate.
16:37I saw an aged, aged man
16:39a-sitting on a gate.
16:40Who are you, aged man?
16:41I said.
16:42And how is it you live?
16:44His answer trickled through my head
16:45like water through a sieve.
16:47He said,
16:48I look for butterflies
16:49that sleep among the wheat.
16:51I make them into mutton pies
16:53and sell them in the street.
16:55I sell them unto men.
16:57He said.
16:58Who sail on stormy seas.
17:00And that's the way I get my bread.
17:02A trifle, if you please.
17:05But I was thinking of a plan
17:06to dye one's whiskers green
17:08and always use so large a fan
17:10that they could not be seen.
17:11So having no reply to give
17:13to what the old man said,
17:15I cried,
17:15Come, tell me how you live.
17:17And thumped him on the head.
17:18His accents mild,
17:20took up the tale.
17:21He said.
17:21I go my ways
17:23and when I find a mountain rail
17:25I set it in a blaze.
17:27And thence they make a stuff
17:29they call
17:30Roland's Macassar Oil.
17:32Yet two-pence-halfpenny
17:33is all
17:34they give me from a toil.
17:36Well, I was thinking of a way
17:37to feed oneself on batter
17:39and so go on from day to day
17:40getting a little fatter.
17:42I shook him well
17:43from side to side
17:44until his face was blue.
17:45Come, tell me how you live,
17:47I cried.
17:48And what it is you do,
17:49he said.
17:50I hunt for haddock's eyes
17:52among the heather bright
17:54and work them
17:55into waistcoat buttons
17:56in the silent night.
17:58And these I do not sell
18:00for gold
18:00or a coin of silvery shine
18:03but for a copper halfpenny
18:05and that will purchase nine.
18:08I sometimes dig
18:09for butted rolls
18:10or set limed twigs
18:12for crabs.
18:13I sometimes search
18:15the grassy knolls
18:16for wheels of handsome cabs.
18:18And that's the way
18:20he gave a wink
18:21by which I get my wealth
18:23and very gladly
18:25will I drink
18:26your honor's noble health.
18:28I heard him then
18:29for I had just completed
18:30my design
18:31to keep the men I bridge
18:32from rust
18:33by boiling it in wine.
18:35I thanked him much
18:36for telling me
18:36the way he got his wealth
18:37but chiefly for his wish
18:39that he might drink
18:40my noble health.
18:41And now
18:42if ere by chance
18:44I put my fingers
18:45into glue
18:45or madly squeeze
18:47a right-hand foot
18:48into a left-hand shoe
18:49or if I drop upon my toe
18:51a very heavy weight
18:53I weep
18:55for it reminds me so
18:56of that old man
18:58I used to know
18:58whose look was mild
19:00whose speech was slow
19:01whose hair was whiter
19:03than the snow
19:04whose face was
19:05very like a crow
19:06with eyes like cinders
19:08all aglow
19:08who seemed distracted
19:10with his woe
19:11who rocked his body
19:12to and fro
19:13and muttered mumblingly
19:14and low
19:15as if his mouth
19:16were full of dough
19:17who snorted
19:18like a buffalo
19:19that summer evening
19:20long ago
19:22a-sitting on a gate.
19:26Try this one.
19:28The world is so full
