01:47It's a nice city, but it doesn't have a very good police force
01:51Why, London has one of the best police forces in the world
01:55Then how come everybody's driving on the wrong side of the road?

03:50Okay, how much is that, kid?

03:54Two what?
03:55Pence
03:56Two pence
03:57Now lookie here, I only have one pair of pants
04:00They're on me, and I'm not gonna trade them for any newspaper
04:03New epoch starts today
04:07Today we begin the fabulous
04:09History of the Seven Families of Lake Hipple Popple
04:15And now for the first chapter, which we will call
04:18Chapter 27
04:20Chapter 27
04:25In former days, that is to say, once upon a time
04:27There lived in the land of Bram Blamble
04:29Seven families, indeed, lived in the lake
04:33And on the outskirts of the city of Tosh
04:35Which, excepting when it was quite dark, they could see plainly
04:39The names of all these places you have probably heard of
04:43And you have only not to look in your geography books
04:46To find out all about them
04:48Now, the seven families who lived on the borders of the Great Lake Pipple Popple
04:53Were as follows
04:54There was a family of two old parrots and seven young parrots
04:58There was a family of two old storks and seven young storks
05:02There was a family of two old geese and seven young geese
05:05There was a family of two old owls and seven young owls
05:09There was a family of two old guinea pigs and seven young guinea pigs
05:14There was a family of two old cats and seven young cats,
05:18and there was a family of two old fishes and seven young fishes.
05:24Frankly, I'd never live in a neighborhood like that.
05:27And all these seven families lived together in the utmost fun and felicity.
05:33One day, all the seven fathers and the seven mothers of the seven families
05:37agreed that they would send their children out to see the world.
05:41So, they called them all together and gave them each eight shillings
05:45and some good advice, some chocolate drops,
05:48and a small green Morocco pocketbook to set down their expenses in.
05:52It's possible, it's possible. Not darn likely, but possible.
05:57They then particularly entreated them not to quarrel,
06:01and all the parents sent off their children with a parting injunction.
06:05If, said the old parrots,
06:07you find a cherry, do not find about who should have it.
06:10And, said the old stalks,
06:12if you find a frog, divide it carefully into seven bits,
06:16but on no account quarrel about it.
06:18And the old geese said to the seven young geese,
06:21Well, if you don't be sure not to touch a plum pudding flea.
06:25And the old owl said,
06:27If you'll find a mouse, tear him up into seven slices
06:30and eat him cheerfully, but without quarreling.
06:33And the old guinea pig said,
06:36Have a care that you eat your lettuces, should you find any.
06:39Not greedily, but calmly.
06:42And the old cat said,
06:43Be particularly careful not to meddle with a clangle-wangle,
06:48if you should see one.
06:49And the old fishes said,
06:51Above all things, avoid eating a blue boss-woss,
06:54for they do not agree with fishes,
06:56and give them a pain in their toes.
06:59Good advice.
07:01I hope you all paid attention.
07:03If you didn't pay attention,
07:04I hope you at least paid the phone bill.
07:06Oh, yes.
07:08So, all the children of each family thanked their parents,
07:12and making it all 49 polite bows,
07:15they went into the wide world.
07:19What do they call a monkey that sells potato chips?
07:23A chipmunk.
07:26That was a joke.
07:30What a lovely new suit that is.
07:34It costs $1,002 and 27 kite tails.
07:38But where are you going?
07:40I'm going to dig some clams.
07:42You're going to get clams in your nice new suit?
07:44No, silly, in this pail.
07:48Like big men.
07:53Back up, bananas.
07:55Will you give that new boy your two pence?
07:58Well, my other pair is back at the hotel.
08:01Wait a minute.
08:02Not your pants.
08:03Pants.
08:04Pants.
08:05Pants.
08:06Oh, here, sonny.
08:08Oh, thanks, governor.
08:10What a strange one.
08:12Now he thinks you're the governor.
08:14Remember the line,
08:17pennies are pence to me?
08:19Think about it.
08:22Little Jack Horner sat in a corner,
08:24eating his Christmas pie.
08:26He stuck in his thumb,
08:27and pulled out a...
08:29cooking lesson.
08:30Yes, today, after making numerous guest appearances
08:38on numerous tomfoolery shows,
08:40the one and only numerous Jack Horner
08:43will answer numerous requests
08:45by presenting his own private recipe
08:49for his world-famous and certainly numerous
08:52Christmas pie.
08:54Thank you, thank you.
08:59Well, the first thing you need
09:00is a nice corner to sit in.
09:03Not a street corner!
09:05Just a nice, simple little corner.
09:08Or, if you don't have one like that,
09:10a simple, nice one will do.
09:13That's perfect.
09:15Now, the first thing you need
09:16is lots of plums.
09:18Oh, knock it off!
09:19Did you just learn to write words or something?
09:22Where was I?
09:24I'll ignore it.
09:26The first thing you need is plums.
09:27There are many ways of obtaining plums.
09:29First, you can put an ad in a plum newspaper.
09:32Or, you can wait for a plum stagecoach
09:35to come along.
09:36Once the plums are procured,
09:38you must give them a thorough thumb
09:39indoctrination.
09:40Or, unless you can stick in your thumb
09:43and pull one out,
09:44your Christmas pie will be an awful failure,
09:46resulting in unemployment and measles.
09:48No, I just love thumbs!
09:51I'm crazy about thumbs!
09:53I'm a real thumb-loving plum!
09:56This is a perfect plum
09:57for a Jack Horner pie.
09:59Not really.
10:00I'm a spy, a plant.
10:02Read my book.
10:03I was a thumb-lover for the FBI.
10:06Place a cooperative plums
10:07in a pie shell
10:08and bake for seven days
10:10at 100,000 degrees.
10:11Or, for 100,000 days
10:13at seven degrees.
10:14Whichever is more fashionable.
10:16Remove from oven
10:16and immediately run to your corner,
10:19stick in your thumb,
10:20pull out a plum,
10:21and say,
10:22Now, hold on, big boy.
10:25Just why do you call it
10:27a Christmas pie?
10:30For the same reason
10:31Miss Muffet
10:32sits on a tuffet.
10:33End of cooking lesson.
10:38And now,
10:39from the roof garden
10:40above the swank
10:40Statue of Liberty,
10:42we invite you all
10:43to sing along
10:44with Mr. and Mrs.
10:46Spiffy Sparrow.
10:47Take it away!
10:49And a one,
10:49and a two.
10:50On a little piece of wood
10:56Mr. Spiffy Sparrow stood
10:59Mrs. Sparrow sat close by
11:02The making of an insect hive
11:05For her little children five
11:08In the nest and all alive
11:11Singing with a cheerful smile
11:14To amuse them all the while
11:17Whicky, whicky, whicky, whee
11:20Whicky, whicky, whicky, whee
11:23Spiffy, whicky, whee
11:25Mrs. Spiffy Sparrow said
11:32Spiffy, darling,
11:34in my head
11:35Many thoughts of trouble come
11:38Like to flies upon a plum
11:41All last night among the trees
11:44I heard you cough
11:46I heard you sneeze
11:47And thought,
11:49Aye, it's come to that
11:50Because he does not wear a hat
11:53Chippy, whippy, sicky, gee
11:56Winky, whicky, sicky, whee
11:59Spiffy, chippy, whee
12:02I was all so sad and thinking
12:09When one day I saw you winking
12:11And I heard you sniffle, snuffle
12:14And I saw your feathers ruffle
12:17To myself I sadly said
12:20She's neuralgia in her head
12:23That dear head has nothing on it
12:26Ought she not to wear a bonnet
12:29Kitchy, kitschy, kitschy, wee
12:32Stiffy, whippy, niffy, wee
12:33Stiffy, whippy, niffy, wee
12:36Shifty, whippy, gee
12:39So they both to London went
12:45Alighting on the monument
12:48Whence they blew down swiftly pop
12:51Into Moses' wholesale shop
12:54There they bought a hat and bonnet
12:57And a gown with spots upon it
12:59And a gown with spots upon it
13:01A satin sash of clotsam blue
13:04And a pair of slippers too
13:07Sinky, winky, winky, wee
13:10Wicky, kitschy, winky, wee

13:36Who'd wear pants like those?
13:38A snail?
13:39You don't wear these pants
13:42This is money
13:43I thought she said it was somebody's pants
13:45It is
13:46It's my pants
