1.A Victim Of Gravity
Lyrics：Lynn Ahrens
Music：Lynn Ahrens
Performed：The Tokens
Down, down, down, down gravity
Helpin'wash the dishes
And I drop a cup.
Why does everything fall down
Instead of up？
Ridin' up a hill I spill
And hit the ground.
Wish I could fall up instead of always failing down.
Down, de-down, down, down.
I'm a victim of gravity.
Everything keeps failin' down on me.
No matter where I go
That force is there I know,
Just a pullin' me down, down, down, down, down.
It's all around town now,
It's like a magnet deep inside the ground.
When I lift something up,
I can feel it pulling down.
It pulls me in the pool,
It pulls rain down on me.
I'm a victim of
Down, down, down, down, gravity, yeah.
Galileo, Galileo, Galliel-
He did experiments with a force he couldn't see.
(Could not see, yeah.)
He found that all things fall to earth at the very same speed
(Very same speed, yeah.)
He didn't know it yet, but that was due to gravity.
The moon goes'round the earth
And shines its silver light.
The earth goes 'round the sun
And makes the seasons right.
It isn't love that makes the world go 'round, you see,
It's the power of gravity,
But please don't tell Mary Jean.
Down, de-down, down, down.
Without earth's gravity
To keep us in our place,
We'd have no weight at all,
We'd be in outer space.
The sea would float away,
And so would fields and towns,
Nothin'pullin'us down, down, down, down, down, yeah.
Isaac Newton underneath the apple tree.
(Apple tree, yeah)
One hit him on the head,
He said, 'That must be gravity.'
Newton's law of gravity says that every object in the
universe pulls on every other object. The bigger the
object, the stronger the Pull. But the greater the
distance between the objects, the weaker the pull becomes.
Come back, Mary Jean!
Don't call me clumsy,
Don't call me a fool.
When things fall down on me,
I'm following the rule;
The rule that says that what goes up, comes down, like me,
I'm a victim of down, down, down, down gravity.
Shoo-be doo, down, down, down.
2.Do The Circulation
Lyrics：Lynn Ahrens
Music：Lynn Ahrens
Performed：Joshie Armstead, Mary Sue Berry, and Maeretha Stewart
There's a great new craze
That's sweeping the nation
Come on do the Circulation
It starts with your heart,
What a great sensation,
Come on do the Circulation!
Out through your arteries,
in through your veins,
Your heart pumps your blood,
then it does it again,
So come on, everyone get it on,
Everyone, the Circulation!
So come on, everybody,
Exercise your body for circulation!
Circulation! Everybody form a circle now,
uh-huh-huh
Circulation! Like your blood, you just start
moving around
Circulation! It's a function that's so out of
sight
And if your feet fall asleep then
You're not circulating right.
You got four heart parts to pump the blood
(lub dub!)
Yeah, that's circulation,
Left and right ventricle, left and right atrium,
Yeah, they do it, they circulate,
They pump blood through your lungs for
oxygen,
And then your arteries take It through to
your body
And your veins bring the old blood back to
be renewed.
Circulation takes nutrition to your cells
And gets rid of carbon dioxide and waste as
well.
Circulation, it's a function that's so out of
sight,
And if your hands are cold then
You're not circulating right.
Well, your blood is such a life-giving
potion.
Like a river it's always in motion,
＞From your head to your toes,
Doing good as it goes,
It's a big, red, beautiful ocean.
Now the blood's not bad, it's kind of special,
Yeah, come dig it! Circulation!
With these red and white corpuscle cells,
Yeah, come do It, Circulation!
Red cells carry oxygen, white cells fight the
germs,
So come on, come do it, yeah, come do it,
Circulation!
So come on, come do it, with your heart,
come do it, Circulation!
Circulation! Everybody form a circle now,
uh-huh-huh.
Circulation! Like your blood, you just start
moving around.
Circulation! It's a function that's so out of
sight,
So come on, move around and
You'll be circulating right!
There's a great new craze that's sweeping
the nation
Come on, do the Circulation!
It starts with your heart, what a great
sensation.
Yeah, come do it, circulate!
Out through your arteries, in through your
veins,
and Your heart pumps your blood then it
does it again.
Come on, everybody, get it on, everybody.
Circulation! So come on, everybody, get it
on, everybody.
Circulation!
The Circulation!
3.Elementary, My Dear
Lyrics：Bob Dorough
Music：Bob Dorough
Performed：Bob Dorough
Forty days and forty nights,
Didn't it rain, children.
Not a speck of land in sight,
Didn't it, didn't it rain.
But Noah built the ark so tight
They sailed on, children.
And when at last the waters receded
And the dove brought back the olive tree leaf,
He landed that ship near Mt. Ararat
And one of his Children grabbed Noah's robe and said,
'Hey, Dad, how many animals on this old ark anyway,
huh？'
Elementary, my dear, 2 x 2 is 4.
Elementary, my dear, 2 X 3 is 6.
Elementary, my dear, 2 X 4 is 8.
Elementary, My dear, 2 x 5 is 10.
2 x 1 is 2 of course.
And it must occur to you,
You get an even number
Every time you multiply by two.
Elementary, my dear, 2 x 6 is 12.
Elementary, my dear, 2 x 7 is 14.
Elementary, my dear, 2 x 8 is 16.
Elementary, my dear, 2 x 9 is 18.
2 x 10 is 20, 11 twice is 22.
Double 12, that's 24,13 twice is 26,
14 twice is 28,15 twice is 30, now you build it up on 30,
16 twice is 32, (clap clap) elementary
17 twice is 34, (clap clap) elementary
18 twice is 36, (clap clap) elementary
19 twice IS 38, (clap clap) elementary ...
20 twice is 40, and it must occur to you,
You can double any number,
All you do is multiply by two ...
Elementary, my dear, 2 x 2 is 4. (Woo!)
Elementary, my dear, 2 x 3 is 6. (Yeah!)
Elementary, my dear, 2 x 4 is 8. (Whoop!)
Elementary, my dear, 2 x 5 is 10. (Yeah!)
Now if you want to multiply 2 x 174,
Or some big number like that.
2 X 174 equals 2 X 100 Plus 2 x 70 Plus 2 X 4
That's all.
So 2 x 174 equals 200 plus 140 plus 8...or 348
It's elementary.
Elementary ... elementary ...
Twice 32 IS 64, (clap clap) elementary
Twice 33 IS 66, (clap clap) elementary
Twice 34 is 68, (clap clap) elementary
Twice 35 IS 70, (clap clap) elementary
Yeah, yes, it's elementary, yeah.
Now, what's 2 x 98？
Aw That's hard!
No, it's very simple.
2 x 98 equals 2 X 100 minus 2 x 2.
That's 200 minus 4 ... 196.
Elementary.
Forty days and forty nights
Didn't it rain, children.
4.Fireworks
Lyrics：Lynn Ahrens
Music：Lynn Ahrens
Performed：Grady Tate
Ooh, there's gonna be fireworks (fireworks!)
On the Fourth of July (red, white and blue!)
Red, white, and blue fireworks
Like diamonds in the sky (diamonds in the sky!)
We're gonna shoot the entire works
on fireworks
That really show, oh yeah,
We declared our liberty two hundred years ago.
Yeah!
In 1776 (fireworks!)
There were fireworks too (red, white, and blue!)
The original colonists,
You know their tempers blew (They really blew!)
Like Thomas Paine once wrote：
It's only common sense (only common sense)
That if a government won't give you your basic rights
You better get another government.
And though some people tried to fight it,
Well, a committee was formed to write it：
Benjamin Franklin, Philip Livingston,
John Adams, Roger Sherman, Thomas Jefferson,
got it done, (Oh yes they did!)
The Declaration, uh-huh-huh,
The Declaration of independence (Oh yeah!)
In 1776 (Right on!)
The Continental Congress said that we were free (We're free!)
Said we had the right of life and liberty,
... And the pursuit of happiness!
Ooh, when England heard the news (Kerpow!),
They blew their stack (They really blew their cool!),
But the colonies lit the fuse,
There'd be no turning back (no turning back!).
They'd had enough of injustice now
But even if it really hurts, oh yeah,
If you don't give us our freedom now
You're gonna see some fireworks!
And on the Fourth of July they signed it
And fifty-six names underlined it,
And now to honor those first thirteen states,
We turn the sky into a birthday cake.
They got it done (Oh yes they did!)
The Declaration, uh-huh-huh,
The Declaration of independence (Oh yeah!)
in 1776 (Right on!)
The Continental Congress said that we were free (We're free!)
Said we had the right of life and liberty,
... And the pursuit of happiness!
We hold these truths to be self evident,
That all men are created equal
And that they are endowed by their creator
With certain unalienable rights.
That among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness,
And if there's one thing that makes me happy,
Then you know that it's (ooh!)
There's gonna be fireworks!
5.Little Twelvetoes
Lyrics：Bob Dorough
Music：Bob Dorough
Performed：Bob Dorough
Now, if man
Had been born with six fingers on each hand,
He'd also have twelve toes,
Or so the theory goes ...
Well, with twelve digits, I mean fingers,
He probably would've invented two more
digits
When he invented his number system.
Then, if he'd saved the zero for the end,
He could count and multiply by 12's,
Just as easily as you and I do by 10's.
Now, if man
Had been born with six fingers on each hand,
He'd probably count： 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, dek,
el, do.
Dek and el being two entirely new signs
meaning 10 and 11-single digits.
And his 12, do, would've been written：
one-zero.
Get it？
That'd be swell, to multiply by 12.
Hey, Little Twlvetoes, I hope you're well.
must be some far-flung planet where you
dwell.
If we were together you could be my cousin.
Down here we call'em 'a dozen.'
Hey, Little Twlvetoes, please come back
home ...
Now, if man
Had been born with six fingers on each hand,
His children would have'em too,
And when they played hide-and-go-seek,
they'd count by sixes, fast.
And when they studied piano, they'd do their
six-finger exercises,
And when they went to school,
They'd learn the Golden Rule,
And how to multiply by 12 easily：
Just put down the zero.
But me-I have to learn it the hard way.
Let me see now ...
1 x 12 is 12, 2 x 12 is 24, 3 x 12 is 36, 4 x 12 is 48,
5 x 12 is 60,
6 x 12 is 72, 7 X 12 is 84, 8 x 12 is 96, 9 x 12 is
108, 10 x 12 is 120,
11 X 12 is 132, and 12 x 12 is 144.
Wow!
Hey Little Twvetoes, I hope you're thrivin',
Some of us ten-toed folks are still survivin'.
If you help me with my 12's,
I'll help you With your 10's,
And we could all be friends.
Little Twelvetoes, please come back home.

Lyrics：Bob Dorough
Music：Bob Dorough
Performed：Bob Dorough
Now you can call me lucky,'cause Lucky's my name.
Singin'and dancin', that's my game.
I never did a whole day's work in my life,
Still everything seems to turn out right.
Like a grasshopper on a summer's day,
I just love to play
And pass the time away,
'Cause I was born 'neath a lucky star.
They said I'd go far.
Makin' people happy, that's my favorite game.
Lucky Seven is my natural name.
Slippin' and slidin' my whole life through,
Still I get everything done that I got to do,
'Cause I was born 'neath a lucky star.
School is where you are？
Aw, that's not hard.
Let me show you something.
You multiply 7 x 1,
I got 7 days to get that problem done.
Multiply 7 x 2,
Take 14 laughs When you're feeling blue.
Multiply 7 x 3,
A 21 -day vacation you can play with me.
Multiply 7 x 4,
You got 28 days (that's a one month more)
To pay the mortgage on your store.
Don't worry. Something will turn up!
Multiply 7 x 5,
I don't know how you did it, but man alive, that's 35.
Multiply 7 x 6,
Grab a stick and make a 42 cliCkety-clicks.
Multiply 7 x 7,
Take 49 steps right up to seventh heaven.
Multiply 7 x 8,
They got 56 flavors and I just can't wait.
Multiply 7 x 9,
63 musicians, all friends of mine.
Multiply 7 x 10,
And that brings you right back to 70 again.
You know, I think that's important.
There's a trick there somewhere.
Multiply 7 x 11,
Even a rabbit knows that's 70 plus 7.
Multiply 7 x 12,
You got 84, and isn't that swell.
I'm gonna try 7 x 13, just for fun,
70 plus 21.
7x 14 must be great.
Well, exactly, that's a 70 plus 28.
7 x 15, man alive
That's 70 plus 35 ... 105!
Man, this stuff is simple-no jive.
You got it, now I gotta fly.
Excuse me folks, I'm saying good-bye.
I sure do thank you for the huckleberry pie.
Take it home, boys.
Remember Lucky Seven Sampson that's my
natural-born name. if you should ask me again, I'd have
to tell you the same. You'll wake up tomorrow, you'll be
glad that I came 'Cause you'll be singin' one of the
songs that I sang. So keep a happy outlook and be
good to your friend, and maybe I'll pass this way again.
Maybe!
Bye.

Lyrics：Bob Dorough

Sheldon
Mother Necessity
With her good intentions,
Where would this country be
Without her inventions？
Oh, things were rotten in the land of cotton
Until Whitney made the cotton gin.
Now old times there will soon be forgotten
For it did the work of a hundred men.
Mother Necessity, where would we be？
Mother Edison worked late each night.
It went well until the fading light.
Little Thomas Alva Edison said, 'I'll grow up to be
A great inventor and I'll make a lamp to help my mommy see,
Wowee! What an excellent
application of electricity!'
He worked hard and pulled the switch.
He was smart and very rich.
Mother Necessity, help us to see.
Now, the mother of Samuel Morse
Always sent the lad out on a horse.
'Take a message to Ms. Peavy on
the far side of the pike;
Spread the word about the quilting
bee next Saturday night!'
Little Samuel started thinking of a
way to send a message,
Though he'd never met a horse he
didn't like. Uh!
Mother Necessity!
Elias, can you help me with my sewing？
Mother dear, I'll fulfill your fondest wishes.
Elias, how？
This machine I've made will keep
your sewing really flowing.
In fact, we'II keep the whole nation in stitches. Ah!
Mother Necessity, where would we be？
Ring me on the Alexander Graham Bell.
Thank you Alexander for the phone.
I'd never get a date, I'd never get a job
Unless I had a telephone.
Mother Necessity!
'Orville, Wilbur, go outside this minute,
And there continue with your silly playing!
Take these plans and take those blueprints.
Take that funny looking thing,
Take that wheel, take that wing,
I can't hear a thing that Mrs.
Johnson's saying.
Orville! Wilbur! Come back, boys!
Orville! Wilbur!'
Mother Necessity, where would we be？
When Robert Fulton made the steamboat go,
When Marconi gave us wireless radio,
When Henry Ford cranked up his first automo,
When Samuel Slater showed us
how the factories go,
And all the iron and oil and coal and
steel and Yankee don'tyou know,
They made this country really grow,
grow, grow, grow,
With Mother Necessity and where
would we be
Without the inventions of your
progeny？
8.Naughty Number Nine
Lyrics：Lynn Ahrens
Music：Lynn Ahrens
Performed：Joshie Armstead, Mary Sue Berry, and Maeretha Stewart
Number Nine will put you on the spot.
Number Nine will tie you up, oh, in a knot.
When you're tryin'
Multipyin' by nine,
You might give it everything you've got
And still be stopped.
If you don't know some secret way you can check on,
You'll break your neck on
Naughty Number Nine.
Now the first thing to keep in mind
When you're multiplyin' by nine
Is that it's one less than ten.
You see nine is the same as ten minus one.
So you could multiply your number by ten,
And then subtract the number from the result,
And you'd get the same product
As if you'd multiplied by nine
And you knew it.
I mean 8 x 9 is 80 minus 8,
And 7 X 9 is 70 minus 7, and 6 x 9 is 60 minus 6.
You could use those tricks.
'Cause you must have some secret way you can beat it,
or else you'll meet it
with Naughty Number Nine.
Of course it doesn't hurt
to know the table of nines by memory.
It goes like this：
1 x 9 is 9, and 2 x 9 is 18.
(Mean old Number Nine)
3 x 9 is 27, and 4 x 9 is 36,
5 x 9 is 45, and 6 x 9 is 54, and 7 x 9 is 63,
8 x 9 is 72, and 9 x 9 is 81,
and 10 x 9 is 90
Now the digit sum is always equal to nine.
I mean, if you add 2 and 7, the digits,
You get 9, the digit sum.
That's true of any product of 9.
If they don't add up, you've made a mistake.
'Cause you must have some secret way you can check it,
Or else you'll wreck it
With naughty, nasty, mean old Number Nine.
9.Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla
Lyrics：Kathy Mandry ＆ Bob Dorough
Music：Kathy Mandry ＆ Bob Dorough
Performed：Jack Sheldon
Now I have a friend named Rufus Xavier Sasparilla,
and I could say that Rufus found a kangaroo
That followed Rufus home
And now that kangaroo belongs
To Rufus Xavier Sasparilla
Whew! I could say that, but I don't have to
'Cause I have pronouns I can say,
HE found a kangaroo that followed HIM home
And now IT is HIS
You see, HE, HIM and HIS are pronouns
Replacing the noun Rufus Xavier Sasparilla,
A very proper noun,
And it is a pronoun replacing the noun kangaroo.
(How common.)
Now Rufus has a sister named Rafaella Gabriela Sasparilla
If she found a kangaroo I'd say to you
SHE found a kangaroo that followed HER home
and now it is HERS but I can't say that...
Because SHE found an aardvark
That fell in love with HER and THEY're so happy.
And my name is Albert Andreas Armadillo
(No relation to the Sasparillas)
Because of pronouns I can say：
I wish SHE would find a rhinoceros for ME
And WE'd be happy.
You see, a pronoun was made to take the place of a noun,
Because saying all those nouns over and over
Can really wear you down!
Now I could tell you Rafaella Gabriela
and Rufus Xavier Sasparilla and
Albert Andreas Armadillo found
an aardvark, a kangaroo and a rhinoceros
And now that aardvark and that kangaroo
and that rhinoceros belong respectively to
Rafaella Gabriela Sasparilla
and Rufus Xavier Sasparilla
and Albert Andreas Armadillo
Whew! Because of pronouns I can say in this way：
WE found THEM and THEY found US
And now THEY are OURs and WE're so happy
Thank you pronouns!
A pronoun was made to take the place of a noun
Because saying all those nouns over and over
Can really wear you down.
Sometimes when we take them all on the bus
People really raise a fuss
They start shouting out pronouns at us
Like, 'WHO brought that rhinoceros on the bus？'
And 'WHAT made that horrible noise？'
And 'WHICH one of them's getting off first？'
WHO, WHAT, and WHICH are special pronouns
which can ask a question in the sense
where you do not know the name of the noun.
But I know
I have MINE and SHE has HERS and HE has HIS
YOU have YOURS
THEY love US and WE love THEM
What's OURS is THEIRS, that's how it is with
friends.
And pronouns, you are really friends, yeah!
Cause saying all those nouns over and over
can really wear you down.

There's a telegram for you ma'am,
And the message is clear.
It says there's something bugging you
And buzzing in your ear.
The results can be quite itchy
So what is your reply？
Tell your arm to swat that fly!
Hey, there's a telegraph line,
You got yours and I got mine.
It's called the nervous system,
And everybody understands
Those telegram commands
And you know that everybody better listen!
The central nervous system
Is the brain and the spine.
The brain controls the system
And the spine is the line.
Telegrams come in
To tell what's happening to you,
Then telegrams go out
To tell your body what to do.
Dit dittle dittle dit
Dit dittle dittle dit
Dit dittle dittle dit
There's a telegram for you sir,
Better read it on the spot.
It says your hand is near a stove
That's very, very hot.
The results can be quite painful,
And there's no time to think,
Quick! Pull that hand away, and get it to the sink
There's a telegraph line,
You got yours and I got mine.
It's called the nervous system,
And everybody understands
Those telegram commands
And you know that everybody better listen!
Your peripheral nerves,
They go all out,
Delivering those messages
Your senses send out.
＞From your hearing and touch
To your sight and taste and smell,
They let your brain react
To all the messages they tell.
Dit dittle dittle dit
Dit dittle dittle dit
Dit dittle dittle dit
There's a telegram for you, kid,
And it's at an awful time.
It says you've gotta go on stage
And you forgot your lines
You're gonna be embarrassed,
'Cause this telegram's a rush.
Your heart starts beatin' faster and you blush!
Hey, there's a telegraph line,
You got yours and I got mine.
It's called the nervous system,
And everybody understands
Those telegram commands
And you know that everybody better listen!
The autonomic system
Has a hold of you,
Controlling automatically
Some things that you do.
Your breathing and your heartbeat
Just go on naturally
And when you're scared, your nerves
Rev up the speed!
Dit dittle dittle dit

11.The Body Machine
First Aired：1979
Lyrics：Lynn Ahrens
Music：Lynn Ahrens
Performed：Bob Dorough
When you look down the street, what do you see？
The street is overflowing with a lot of machines.
Now I don't mean the buses, the trucks or cars.
I'm talking about the people,
Yeah, you know who they are.
I'm a machine, you're a machine.
Everybody that you know
You know, they are machines.
To keep your engine running you need energy
For your high-powered, revved-up body machine.
Your high-powered, revved-up body machine.
Now, I'd be a fool, if I said that the fuel that
We needed to burn was gasoline,
Because the fuel we use is the stuff called food,
And it puts out the power for our machine.
You make a stop at the filling station,
'Fill 'er up! One chicken sandwich to go!'
As you start to chew,
Your body does it. All systems go!
CHEF： Now that sandwich contains some very
important kinds of food energy for your body. The
chicken gives you protein; bread, carbohydrates;
mayonnaise, fat; and the lettuce has vitamins, plus
cellulose (or roughage). Together these things help
keep your body machine running smoothly.
First the saliva, kind of like a driver
'Move to the rear of the mouth!'
But what it's doing,
Along with teeth chewing,
Is taking food and breaking it down.
Down to the stomach,
The food is pushed, the esophagus does its stuff,
And the stomach starts,
Look at those moving parts,
As the body machine churns up
Gastric juices operate on proteins,
Fats and carbohydrates.
In the stomach they do what they do.
They take out the nutrition and use it for You.
And the cellulose, in those leaves You know,
Will control the traffic flow.
Helps the food to move along so the good stays In,
And the bad gets goin'.
I'm a machine, You're a machine.
Everybody that You know
You know they are machines.
To keep Your engine running You need energy
For Your high-powered, revved-up body machine.
Your high-powered, revved-up body machine.
Then the small intestine does most of Your digesting,
By sending all the nutrients
In through the villi,
Which look a little silli
But act as little vents
The blood stream passes; the nutrients it catches
And takes them to the cells You see,
You use what it delivers,
And it stores some in the liver
For future energv.
I'm a machine, You're a machine.
Everybody that You know,
You know, thev are machines.
To keep Vour engine running You need energv
For Your high-powered, revved-up body machine.
Your high-powered, revved-up body machine.
Your high-powered, revved-up body machine.
High-powered, revved-up, complicated tune-up,
Fascinating body machine.
Take care of that machine.
You got such a great model there, honey!
Give it the right fuel
High protein, low calorie
Take it out for a spin every day!
12.The Energy Blues
Lyrics：George Newall
Music：George Newall
Performed：Jack Sheldon
(Yawn)
Energy ...
Sometimes I think I'm running out of energy
Seems like we use an awful lot for
Heatin'and lightin'and drivin'
Readin' and writin' and jivin'
Energy...You'd think we'd be saving it up.
Energy...You can get it by dammin' up a river
Energy...A windmill can make the breeze deliver
But even with millin'and dammin'
Our needs are so Much more demanding
For energy ... We have to use some kind of fuel.
Chop, chop, chop, the cavemen used wood to start their fires.
Chop, chop, chop, they made all the tools that they required.
Chop, chop, chop, inventions got more and more inspired.
The fires got higher and higher,
And clearings got wider and wider.
Energy ... They were burnin' 'bout all their wood up.
Then one day men discovered that coal would do it better
Miners dug, and it looked like it might just last forever.
It seemed like the final solution.
It started the Industrial Revolution.
Energy ... We could just keep on diggin' it up.
Now in 1859-way out in western Pennsylvania-
A man had built a rig that got some laughs from
folks who came there
But suddenly, a mighty roar came up from under
the ground.
And soon a gusher, gushing oil, soaked all who
stood around.
Now no one knew, when that gusher blew,
The petroleum years were on us,
Or that so many cars and trucks would come and
cause a crisis.
Energy... We're looking to try and find some new kinds.
Energy... Exploring to try and make a new find.
Nuclear and thermal and solar,
If we miss we'll get colder and colder.
Energy ... We've gotta stop usin'you up.
So don't be cross when Mama says turn that extra light out.
Just turn it off till we find us a fuel that never runs out.
If everyone tries a bit harder,
Our fuel will go farther and farther.
Energy ... we're gonna be stretchin'you out.
13.The Good Eleven
Lyrics：Bob Dorough
Music：Bob Dorough
Performed：Bob Dorough
Good, good, good, good, the good eleven, yeah
It's almost as easy as multiplyin' by one.
Good, good, good, good eleven. (Mmm)
Yes, eleven almost makes multiplication fun.
Some people get up at a quarter till seven,
Other people lie abed till 8：45 or 9.
But I'm happy just to hang in there till 11,
'Cause eleven has always been a friend of mine.
Good, good, good, good eleven,
Never gave me any trouble till after nine.
Good, good, good, good eleven. (Mmm)
Eleven will always be a friend of mine.
Now, when you get a chance to multiply by eleven (eleven,
Yeah!),
It's almost as easy as multiplying by one.
You don't even have to use a pencil when you use eleven,
And eleven almost makes multiplication fun.
You know why？ (Yeah!)
Because you get those funny looking
double-digit doogies as an answer.
Like 22, 33, 44, and 55.
66, 77, 88, and 99 is your answer
When you multiply 11 by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.
Good, good, good, good, good eleven,
Never gave me any trouble till after nine.
Good, good, good, good eleven, (Mmm)
I can always get that answer easy every time.
Now 11 x 10 is the same as 10 x 11 (10 x 11),
It's 110 no matter what you do.
And 121 is the answer to 1 1 x 1 1,
And 11 x 12 is 132.
11 13's are 143, now. (That's 1-4-3)
11 14's are 154. (Dig it, it's 1-5-4)
1-6-5 and 1-7-6 are 15 and 16.
You better pick up on the pattern,
'Cause I ain't got time to tell you any more.
I've got a date with the good eleven.
She never gave me any trouble till after nine.
(Good,good,good,good)
Good, g-g-g-g-good, eleven. (Mmm)
Yes, eleven will always be a friend of mine.
14.The Great American Melting Pot
Lyrics：Lynn Ahrens
Music：Lynn Ahrens
Performed：Lori Lieberman
My grandmother came from Russia
A satchel on her knee,
My grandfather had his father's cap
He brought from Italy.
They'd heard about a country
Where life might let them win,
They paid the fare to America
And there they melted in.
Lovely Lady Liberty
With her book of recipes
And the finest one she's got
is the great American melting pot
The great American melting pot.
America was founded by the English,
But also by the Germans, Dutch, and French.
The principle still sticks;
Our heritage is mixed.
So any kid could be the president.
You simply melt right in,
It doesn't matter what your skin,
It doesn't matter where you're from,
Or your religion, you jump right in
To the great American melting pot
The great American melting pot.
Ooh, what a stew, red, white, and blue.
America was the New World
And Europe was the Old.
America was the land of hope,
Or so the legend told.
On steamboats by the millions,
In search of honest pay,
Those nineteenth century immigrants sailed
To reach the U.S.A.
Lovely Lady Liberty
With her book of recipes
And the finest one she's got
Is the great American melting pot
The great American melting pot.
What good ingredients,
Liberty and immigrants.
They brought the country's customs,
Their language and their ways.
They filled the factories, tilled the soil,
Helped build the U.S.A.
Go on and ask your grandma,
Hear what she has to tell
HOW great to be American
And something else as well.
Lovely Lady Liberty
With her book of recipes
And the finest one she's got
IS the great American melting pot
The great American melting pot.
The great American melting pot.
The great American melting pot.
15.Them Not-So-Dry Bones
Lyrics：George Newall
Music：George Newall
Performed：Jack Sheldon
Them bones, them bones, them dry bones,
Now they're the working of the Lord.
Bones are heard of, but seldom seen,
'Cept each year'round Halloween.
But I've got a shockeroo,
Right now there's a skeleton locked up inside of you. (Ha-ha-ha)
Minus bones you're just a blob,
Being framework's their main job.
All your organs, muscles, too,
They need your bones to hold them safe and sound inside for you.
Your heart and lungs are tucked away,
In there behind your ribs.
Those bones have been protecting them
Since we were little kids.
Lookout, here comes a bonehead play!
Birdin' his brain, (Tweet, tweet, tweet) what a day!
Don't take much to overwhelm it,
But luckily those bones up there work like a built-in helmet!
Shin bone connected to the knee bone
(That means the tibia connects to the patella)
Knee bone connected to the thigh bone
(That means the patella connects to the femur)
And here's how they really fit together.
Ligaments are what link bone to bone.
Cartilage that cushions in between.
Muscles hook on, by the tendons,
So here's what's happenin' in your knees most ev'ry time you
bend 'em.
Now there's a lot of skeleton
We never get to see,
But It holds other little parts
That show quite obviously.
I'm talkin' 'bout those thirty-two
That we all call our teeth.
We gotta feed 'em right and keep 'em clean,
Or they can come to grief. (Ouch!)
So please remember,
You got to do It while you're young
Feed your bones some good old calcium
Drinking milk-a glass or two-
Will help your bones to stay In shape and do
their job for you.
(Your skeleton)
It's a framework, (Yes, yes) holding you together.
Shielding organs, Yeah, that's Its job, too!
16.The Preamble
Lyrics：Lynn Ahrens
Music：Lynn Ahrens
Performed：Lynn Ahrens
Hey, do you know about the U.S.A.？
Do you know about the government？
Can you tell me about the Constitution？
Hey, learn about the U.S.A.
In 1787 I'm told
Our founding fathers did agree
To write a list of principles
For keepin' people free.
The U.S.A. was just startin' out.
A whole brand-new country.
And so our people spelled it out
The things that we should be.
And they put those principles down on
paper and called it the Constitution, and
it's been helping us run our country ever
since then. The first part of the
Constitution is called the preamble and tells
what those founding fathers set out to do.
We the people
In order to form a more perfect union,
Establish justice, insure domestic tranquility,
Provide for the common defense,
Promote the general welfare and
Secure the blessings of liberty
To ourselves and our posterity
Do ordain and establish this Constitution
for the United States of America.

They wanted a land of liberty.
And the Preamble goes like this：
