00:00Sesame Street presents William Wegman's Mother Goose.
00:05Here's Mother Goose and her big book of nursery rhymes.
00:10Welcome!
00:12And her son, Simon.
00:15Hello.
00:16Simon has been having trouble writing rhymes.
00:19Rub-a-dab-dib. Three men and a pail.
00:23Mother Goose is going to try to teach Simon the art of rhyming.
00:27Do you have your notebook ready, Simon?
00:30I do.
00:31Good.
00:32It's easy for Mother Goose.
00:34You see, Mother Goose has inherited this gift from her mother, Grandmother Goose.
00:39Long ago, once upon a time, far, far away, lived an old woman, Old Mother Hubbard.
00:49Old Mother Hubbard went to her cupboard to give her poor dog a bone.
00:54When she came there, the cupboard was bare, and so the poor dog had none.
01:03Sorry.
01:04No bones.
01:12Hubbard! Hubbard!
01:13See how that works, Simon?
01:15Uh, I do. I think so.
01:17Well, pay attention then.
01:19Here's another one of your grandmother's rhymes.
01:22Hello.
01:23Um, where was I?
01:26Oh, yes.
01:27Jack and Jill.
01:30Jack and Jill.
01:33Jack and Jill.
01:37went up the hill.
01:38To fetch a pail of water.
01:40Way, way up the hill.
01:43Careful.
01:44Slippery.
01:45This way, Jill.
01:46I know, Jack.
01:47Here we are.
01:48The well.
01:49The well.
01:50Hurry, Jack.
01:51Keep cranking.
01:52I am, Jill.
01:53Be careful.
01:54Okay, Jill.
01:55Oh, no!
01:56Jack fell down.
01:57And broke his crown.
01:58Look, Jill.
01:59Tweety bruise.
02:00And Jill came tumbling after.
02:01Pine cones, Jack.
02:02They had to go all the way to the top of the hill just to get water?
02:03Didn't they have faucets then?
02:04No.
02:05No.
02:06No.
02:07No.
02:08No.
02:09No.
02:10No.
02:11No.
02:12No.
02:13No.
02:14No.
02:15No.
02:16No.
02:17No.
02:18No.
02:19No.
02:20No.
02:21No.
02:22No.
02:23No.
02:24No.
02:25No.
02:26No.
02:27No.
02:28No.
02:29Pliled faucets then.
02:30Simon, they didn't have the modern conveniences we do.
02:34How did they take a bath or brush their teeth?
02:38Who said they have teeth?
02:40No teeth?
02:41No teeth.
02:42All right.
02:44Moving along.
02:46Little Jack Horner.
02:49Little Jack Horner sat in the corner eating a Christmas pie.
02:56He put in his thumb, and pulled out a plum, and said,
03:07Oh, what a good boy am I.
03:15Why is he in the corner?
03:18Does he have to stay in the corner?
03:20Yes, because corner rhymes with horner.
03:23Oh, horner. I get it.
03:28Oops.
03:30Those nursery rhymes were your grandmother's.
03:32Here's one I wrote.
03:34Little Miss Muffet.
03:36Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet,
03:42eating her curds and whey.
03:47Along came a...
03:50a...
03:51a...
03:53a...
03:53a...
03:54a...
03:54a...
03:55a...
03:56What occurred?
03:58Along came a...
04:01a...
04:02spider!
04:03Who sat down beside her,
04:06and frightened Miss Muffet away.
04:12Along came a spider, who sat down beside her.
04:16Here's another rhyme.
04:19It's about tardiness.
04:21Ten o'clock scholar.
04:241588.
04:24Professor Trindall's geography class begins promptly at ten.
04:28Magellan.
04:29It's important to be on time.
04:30William the Conqueror.
04:31A dill or a dollar.
04:32A ten o'clock scholar.
04:34It's almost eleven.
04:36Nina Pinto Santa Maria.
04:37What makes you come so soon, he said ironically.
04:41You used to come at ten o'clock, and now you come at noon.
04:47Where is that student of mine?
04:51Professor Trindall?
04:53You're late.
04:54What's with you?
04:56I brought you an apple.
04:57Tsk, tsk.
05:00Class starts right at ten.
05:01Come in.
05:02Take your seat.
05:04You used to come at ten o'clock, but now you come at noon.
05:08What time is it, anyway?
05:14That's a good one.
05:16Very confusing.
05:18Was he early or late?
05:20I'm glad you liked it, Simon.
05:22It's got good rhythm.
05:23Now, here's another story about another Jack.
05:30Jack Anori.
05:33I'll tell you a story about Jack Anori.
05:39Who?
05:39Jack Anori.
05:42And now my story's begun.
05:45I'll tell you another about his brother.
05:48Who?
05:49His brother.
05:50And now, my story is done.
05:53What's his brother's name?
06:00Oh, I see.
06:02The parents only named one of the brothers, and the other one didn't have a name.
06:07That's a good story.
06:12He doesn't get it.
06:13Coffee and tea.
06:20Molly, my sister and I, fell out.
06:23And what do you think it was all about?
06:26She loved coffee.
06:28Freshly brewed.
06:29And I love tea.
06:32Try a cup.
06:33And that was the reason we couldn't agree.
06:36I love coffee.
06:37I love tea.
06:38Coffee is better than tea.
06:39Black tea.
06:40Colombian.
06:41Green tea.
06:42French roast.
06:42Horrible tea.
06:43Cappuccino.
06:44Mother Goose loves coffee.
06:46And she loves tea.
06:48I knew I'll have cocoa.
06:50Little girl with a curl.
06:56There was a little girl.
06:58He had a little curl right in the middle of her forehead.
07:02Where?
07:03Forehead.
07:05When she was good.
07:07She was very, very good.
07:09And when she was bad.
07:20She was horrid.
07:23I need help.
07:24I don't get this rhyming thing.
07:26Let's write a rhyme together.
07:28Okay.
07:29Go ahead.
07:31Think of a name.
07:33Jill.
07:35Okay, Joan.
07:37Joan.
07:39Little Jumping Joan.
07:42Here am I.
07:43Little Jumping Joan.
07:45When nobody's with me,
07:46I'm always alone.

08:38Look out.
08:39There goes the shoe.
08:40My dame has lost her shoe.
08:42Whoops.
08:43Goodness.
08:44My master's lost his fiddle stick.
08:46And knows not what to do.
08:48Cock-a-doodle-doo.
08:51What is my dame to do?
08:53Till master finds his fiddle stick, she'll dance without her shoe.
08:58Yee-haw.
09:00Cock-a-doodle-doo.
09:02Rub-a-dub-doo.
09:03Rub-a-dub-dib.
09:05Dab.

09:08Three men with three different jobs in one bucket.
09:14Not quite.
09:15Keep at it.
09:16Listen to my version.
09:20Rub-a-dub-dub.
09:22Three men in a tub.

09:54They have yellow.
09:55Green.
09:56All colors.

09:58What are they doing in the tub?
10:00Turn them out.
10:01Knaves.
10:02All three.
10:02Get out of that tub.
10:07Jack of spades.
10:09Ten of diamonds.
10:11Queen of hearts.
10:13Is this your card?
10:16The queen of hearts?
10:18The tarts.
10:21The queen of hearts.
10:23She made some tarts.
10:25All on a summer day.
10:28The knave of hearts.
10:29I'll set them down to cool.
10:32Right here.
10:35The knave of hearts.
10:37He saw the tarts.
10:38Tarts.
10:40Mmm, tarts.
10:43Wow, what a neat kitchen.
10:47Pink.
10:49Mmm, red.
10:50Still warm.
10:51The knave of hearts.
10:55He stole the tarts.
10:56And took them clean away.
10:58The king of hearts called for the tarts.
11:02Tarts!
11:04Hey, somebody took the tarts.
11:06Oh, coming.
11:08I found these tarts.
11:09In the hall.
11:11Out by the moat.
11:12Out in the back there.
11:13Under some stuff.
11:15The knave of hearts brought back the tarts.
11:17And vowed he'd steal no more.
11:20Do I get a reward?
11:22Mmm, tarts.
11:24Worth the wait.
11:33To market.
11:35To market, to market, to buy a fat pig.
11:37Gotta buy a pig.
11:39Gotta get a pig.
11:40Chiggity-chig.
11:40Big fat pig.
11:42Do you have any pig?
11:43I'll see.
11:44No pig.
11:47Home again, home again.
11:49Chiggity-chig.
11:50Bye-bye.
11:52Order more pig.
11:58To market, to market, to buy a fat hog.
12:00Gotta have a hog today.
12:02Chiggity-chig.
12:02Do you have hog?
12:04I don't think so.
12:08How about a nice pear?
12:10No, I gotta have a hog.
12:11Home again, home again.
12:13Jiggity-jog.
12:14Bye-bye.
12:16Order more hog.
12:19To market, to market, to buy a plum bun.
12:22I'm in the mood for a plum bun.
12:24Gotta get a plum bun.
12:25Do you have plum bun?
12:27No bun.
12:28What?
12:28No plum bun?
12:29We have a plum.
12:31Home again, home again.
12:32Market is done.
12:33No pig, no hog, no bun.
12:36Wait a minute.
12:37What's this?
12:38Is this one?
12:39This, this tastes like plum.
12:45Plum.
12:47Plum.
12:48Purple.
12:49Stirple.
12:50Flurple.
12:50Although they rhyme, none of those are words.
12:53You don't like that?
12:54No, you work on it.
12:56Now here's one about an old woman who lived in a shoe.
12:59There was an old woman who lived in a shoe.
13:03She had so many children, she didn't know what to do.
13:07Oh my.
13:08One, two, three, four, five, six.
13:12Where are they?
13:13Seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty, twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-three, twenty-four, twenty-five, twenty-six.
13:32I have so many children, what am I going to do?
13:36She gave them some broth without any bread.
13:39Then she recounted them and sent them to bed.
13:42One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen.
13:49I pray they're all here.
13:50Seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty, twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-three, twenty-four, twenty-five, twenty-six.
13:57Does she really live in a shoe?
14:00What do you mean?
14:01Well, it must have been a really big shoe.
14:03It had to be big.
14:04She had a lot of children.
14:06Was it a left shoe or a right shoe?
14:08You usually get two shoes.
14:10Perhaps it was made for a person with only one foot.
14:13A monopode.
14:14A monopode?
14:16Only one foot?
14:17Gee.
14:23Rain.
14:24Rain.
14:25Go away.
14:26Come again.
14:28Another day.
14:29Little Johnny wants to play.
14:32Rain.
14:32Rain.
14:33Go to Spain.
14:35Never come back again.
14:39Choose a theme.
14:40I'm tired.
14:41Then develop it.
14:43I can't think of any.
14:44The seasons.
14:45October.
14:46Fall.
14:47No.
14:48Winter.
14:48Cold and raw, the north wind doth blow.
14:56Bleak in the morning early.
14:58All the hills are covered with snow.
15:01And winters now come fairly.
15:04Look out.
15:04Summer is warm.
15:13Do not doubt it.
15:16And I need a pie.
15:17Fast.
15:18Pat a patty.
15:20Oh.
15:21Give me that.
15:22Yes, mother.
15:23Let me see.
15:24How about pat a cake?

15:44Baker's man.
15:46This is going to be my best cake ever.
15:48Vanilla with chocolate frosting.
15:50Chocolate with vanilla frosting.
15:52Pat it.
15:52What did she say?
15:54Frost it.
15:56Prick it.
15:57And mark it with a B.
15:58And put it in the oven for baby and me.
16:04For your baby.
16:05My best cake ever.
16:10Lucy Lockett lost her pocket.
16:13I lost my pocket.
16:15Where is it?
16:16Here it is.
16:17I found it.
16:18Kitty Fisher found it.
16:19Nothing in it?
16:20It's empty.
16:21Nothing in it?
16:22But the binding around it.
16:23Nothing around it but this binding.
16:25Hey, there's nothing in it.
16:26No money, no cards.
16:27I've got it.
16:28Come get it.
16:29I've been looking all over for that.
16:30Where'd you find it?
16:31Right here.
16:32Thanks, Kitty.
16:33You want it?
16:33Yes, please.
16:34Here, take it.
16:35There it is.
16:36It's yours.
16:36Thanks.
16:37I'll have to sew it back on.
16:38Or bring it to Mother Goose.
16:40It goes right here.
16:42A little lower.
16:42Every lady in this land has 20 nails upon each hand.
16:50Let's count them.
16:521, 2, 3, 4, 5.
16:565 nails.
16:576, 7, 8, 9, 10.
17:0110 nails.
17:025 and 20 on hands and feet.
17:0511, 12, 13, 14, 15.

17:1316, 17, 18, 19, 20.
17:1720 nails.
17:1820 nails on hands and feet.
17:20All this is true without deceit.
17:36Whoa.
17:38Look at this rhyme, Simon.
17:40Jack, be nimble.
17:44Here's Jack.
17:45Jack, be nimble.
17:47Good.
17:48Jack, be quick.
17:50How's this?
17:51Okay.
17:52Jack, jump over the candlestick.
18:02You didn't actually jump.
18:04You stepped over the candlestick.
18:06We wanted you to jump over the candlestick.
18:09Right.
18:10Okay.
18:10Once more from the top.
18:13Jack, be nimble.

18:32Little Bo Peep.
18:39Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep and can't tell where to find them.
18:44Leave them alone and they'll come home and bring their tails behind them.
18:49Over here.
18:50Over here.
18:51We're coming.
18:52We're over here.
18:54Behind the tree.
18:55I'm over here.

19:04We're under the bridge.
19:05We're at the gate.
19:07We're coming home, Bo Peep.
19:09We're coming home.
19:10Nimble sheep, quick sheep, jack sheep.
19:16Simon, you still don't get it, do you?
19:19No, no more, no more sheep.
19:22Grandmother would be appalled.
19:24Grandmother?
19:25Yes?
19:27Me?
19:27Oh, yes.
19:28The old king lived in a castle down by the Rhine.
19:32What was his name?
19:34Old King Cole.
19:36Old King Cole was a merry old soul.
19:40A merry old soul was he.
19:42He called for his pipe.
19:44Pipe.
19:46Tweedledee, Tweedledee.
19:50Pipe.
19:51Tweedledee, Tweedledee, Tweedledee.
19:54Tweedledee.
19:56Pipe.
19:58Your Majesty, your pipe.
20:01Tweedledum.
20:02Tweedledee, Tweedledee.
20:04And he called for his bowl.
20:08Bowl.
20:10Tweedledum, Tweedledee.
20:12Bowl.
20:16Tweedledee, Tweedledee.
20:20Your bowl, your Majesty, sir.
20:23Tweedledum.
20:25And he called for his fiddler's three.
20:28Fiddler's three, Tweedledee, Tweedledee.
20:30One, and a two, and a three.
20:36Every fiddler, he had a fine fiddle.
20:39And a very fine fiddle had he.
20:41Tweedledee, Tweedledee, Tweedledee, went the fiddler's.
20:54Tweedledum.
21:06Tweedledum.
21:07Tweedled, Tweedledee, Tweedledee.
21:11Humpty Dumpty.
21:13Sat on a...
21:14Um.
21:16Mother Goose is very concerned.
21:18Simon doesn't seem to be making much progress at all.
21:20Golden Slumbers.
21:27Golden Slumbers, kiss your eyes.
