05:21Fortunately, we don't have to fly to our next port of call, because it's in the beautiful briny sea.
05:26It's really rather splendid down here.
05:28For you, my dear.
05:30Oh, thank you.
05:39How pleasant bobbing along, bobbing along on the bottom of the beautiful briny sea.
05:48What a chance to get a better peep at the plants and creatures of the deep.
05:57We glide far below the rolling tide, serene through the bubbly blue and green.
06:13It's lovely bobbing along, bobbing along on the bottom of the beautiful briny sea.
06:24What if the octopus, the flounder, and the cod think we're rather odd?
06:30It's fun to promenade, bobbing along, singing a song on the bottom of the beautiful briny sea.
06:40Look!
06:42Look!
06:43What if you love!

11:59And now, off to Italy, where the curtain is going up on the world's most famous singing puppet.
12:05The one and only Pinocchio.
12:12What a builder.
12:24I've got no strings to hold me down.
12:31Go ahead. Make a fool of yourself.
12:34Then maybe you'll listen to your conscience.
12:40I've got no strings to hold me down, to make me fret or make me frown.
12:45I hit strings, but now I'm free.
12:48There are no strings on me.
12:49I told the Mary-o, that's the only way to be.
12:56I want the world to know, nothing ever worries me.
13:01I've got no strings to hold me down.
13:18You have no strings, your arms is free.
13:22You love me by the side of Z.
13:24Yeah, yeah, yeah, if you could do, I'd post my strings for you.
13:44You've got no strings to sing for you, sir.
13:46You say, I've got fairies.
13:47Oh, la, la.
13:48I've got strings, but aren't you new?
13:50I'd post my strings for you.
14:10Down where the world go blues, there's a Russian run there, fool.
14:14Where me and I burn goats, but I'd rather go with you, eh?
14:21Hey!
14:24Hey!
14:27Hey!
14:33Hey!
14:35Hey!
14:39Hey!
14:53There are no strings on me.
14:58Now let's be honest with one another.
15:00I can't fly.
15:02And you can't fly.
15:04But that Winnie the Pooh, he just will not accept the fact that he cannot fly.
15:10What do you want a balloon for?
15:12I shall fly like a bee.
15:15Up to the honey tree, see?
15:17But just a minute.
15:19You can't fool the bees that way.
15:21You'll see.
15:23Now bears will do anything to get honey.
15:26So, Winnie thought up a clever disguise.
15:30There, now.
15:33Isn't this a clever disguise?
15:36What are you supposed to be?
15:40I'm a little black rain cloud, of course.
15:44Careful, Pooh.
15:46Hold on tight.
15:47Yes.
15:49Four.
15:49Yes.
15:50Three.
15:50Yes.
15:51Two.
15:52Yes.
15:52One.
15:54I'm just a little black rain cloud, hovering under the honey tree.
16:02I'm only a little black rain cloud, pay no attention to little me.
16:10Everyone knows that a rain cloud never eats honey.
16:17No, not a nip.
16:18I'm just floating around, over the ground, wondering where I will drip.
16:30Christopher Robin, I think the bees, S-U-S-P-E-C-T, something.
16:38Perhaps they think you're after their honey.
16:40Well, it may be that.
16:41You never can tell the bees.
16:44Oh, I'm just a little black rain cloud, hovering under the honey tree.
16:52I'm only a little black rain cloud, pay no attention to little me.
17:01Everyone knows that a rain cloud never eats honey.
17:07No, not a nip.
17:08I'm just floating around, over the ground, wondering where I will drip.
17:22Silly bear, everyone knows bears can't fly.
17:25Now to jolly old England, for a jump through the countryside with the worst driver I've
17:30ever known on Mr. Toad's wild ride.
17:33Oh, telly-ho!
17:35Oh, telly-ho!
17:37Are we on our way to Nothingham, or Britishham, or Buckingham, or any happy happy time to see?
17:44Oh, are we on our way to Devonshire, to Lancashire, or Worcestershire?
17:48I'm not so sure we'll have to wait and see.
17:51Oh, are we on our way to Dover, or flying merrily over the jolly old road that goes to Plymouth?
17:58Oh, no!
17:59We're merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily on our way to nowhere in particular.
18:07We're merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily on our way through the road that goes to Plymouth?
18:14We're always in our way.
18:16We have no time to stall.
18:18We've got to be there, we've got to be there, where we can't be gone.
18:23Are we on our way to Nothingham, or Britishham, or Buckingham?
18:27Or any happy, happy time to see?
18:30Oh, are we on our way to Devonshire, to Lancashire, or Worcestershire?
18:34I'm not so sure we'll have to wait and see.
18:37Oh, are we on our way to Dover, or flying merrily over the jolly old road that goes to Plymouth?
18:44Oh, no!
18:45We're merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily on our way to nowhere in particular.
18:52We're merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily on our way through the road that goes to Plymouth?
19:00We're always in our way.
19:02We have no time to stall.
19:04We've got to be there, we've got to be there, where we can't be gone.
19:09We're merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily on our way.
19:12And we may be going to Devonshire, to Lancashire, to Worcestershire.
19:16We're not so sure we've got to be there.
19:18We're not so sure we've got to be there.
19:22We're merrily on our way to nowhere at all.
19:32He'll get there, too.
19:34His driving drives me crazy.
19:36This show's really gone to the dogs.
19:39What a dog.
19:41Yeah.
19:42Tell us about it, Peg.
19:43What a dog.
19:46Peg used to be in the dog and pony follies.
19:48He's a tramp, but they love him.
19:53Breaks a new heart every day.
19:58He's a tramp.
20:00They adore him.
20:02And I only hope he'll stay that way.
20:07He's a tramp.
20:09He's a scoundrel.
20:11He's a rounder.
20:14He's a cab.
20:16He's a tramp.
20:18But I love him.
20:20Yes, even I have got it pretty bad.
20:25You can never tell when he'll show up.
20:30He gives you plenty of trouble.
20:35I guess he's just a no-kind pup.
20:39But I wish that he were double.
20:43He's a tramp.
20:45He's a rover.
20:48And there's nothing more to say.
20:52If he's a tramp, he's a good one.
20:56And I wish that I could travel his way.
21:01Wish that I could travel his way.
21:06Wish that I could travel his way.
