"Thank you, thank you very much. I think I can even hear some ducks singing today in the audience."
"Here's a song for all you duckies."
"Let's hear the big quacks singing, too."
"One wheel's off and the axle's broken."
"As you know, this song is about a busted wagon."
"What can you do with a broken wagon?"
"Fix it, that's right. First and second roles have the right answers."
"Now let me see you fix that wagon with a hammer. What will that look like?"
The audience hammering
"That's it, look at all those hammers."
"One wheel's off and the axle's broken."
"Hey, this wagon is still busted. We took a hammer to it. Now we'll need something else."
"A wrench! Yeah, a wrench, that's right."
"How about if we use it? Let me see with the wrench fix the wagon."
"What will that look like? Show me the wrenches."
"Fixing the wagon, that's it."
"One wheel's off and the axle's broken."
"Hey, this wagon is still busted!"
"We used the wrench and we used the hammer."
"Ah, listen to those ideas! This place is full of mechanics today."
"A screwdriver, yes. I'm hearing some good suggestions."
"You know what? Maybe if this wagon is really busted, you might need your friend Raffi to fix the wagon for you."
"I wonder what I'd use to fix the wagon?"
"Raffi's gonna fix it with a sandwich"
"Raffi's gonna fix it with a sandwich"
"Raffi's gonna fix it with a sandwich"
"So that he can eat it"
"Thank you."
"Thank you."

"Yeah, very nice."

"Very nice."
"Sometimes when I sing that song, I sing differently."
"I sing: Baa Baa Black Sheep, have you any wool?"
"Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full"
"One for your sweater"
"And one for your rug"
"One for your blanket to keep you warm and..."
"...snug"
"How did you know that?"
"And then I sing:"
"Cluck, cluck, red hen, have you any..."
"...eggs?"
"Good, I'm glad you didn't say "Wool"."
"Yes sir, yes sir, as many as your..."
"...legs"
"One for your breakfast"
"and one for your lunch"
"Come back tomorrow. I'll have another bunch"
"There you go again."
"How about this one?"
Raffi mooing like a cow
"Moo, moo, brown cow, have you milk for me?"
"Yes sir, yes sir, tasty as can be"
"Churn it into butter and make it into cheese"
"Freeze it into ice cream or drink it if you please"
"Bzzzz! Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz!"
"Buzz, buzz, busy bee, is your honey sweet?""
"Yes sir, yes sir, sweet enough to eat"
"Honey on your muffin and honey on your cake"
"Honey by the spoonful as much as I can make"
"Baa, baa, black sheep, have you any wool?"
"Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full"
"Nice Amazing!"
"Nice Song!"
"Thank you."
"Thank you very much. I'm hearing some fine singing, very good indeed."
"Now I'd like to play the kazoo for you in the next song I'm going to do"
"which is about"
"a peanut butter sandwich."
"And it sounds like this."
"Stick, stick, sticky, stick, stick"
"Yum, yum, yummy, yum, yum"
"Here comes that kazoo."
Raffi playing his kazoo and guitar
"Stick, stick, sticky, stick, stick"
"Oh, yum, yum, yummy, yum, yum"
"Or if you like it a lot."
'"Gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble"
"Or if you're a careful eater."
'"Bites, bites, bitesy, bites, bites"
"Or if it sticks to your gum through your mouth,"
"it goes like..."
"Chew, chew"'

"You're scared stiff."
"And you brush your teeth."
"You brush your hair"
"You wash your face"
"You stroke your beard"
"You brush your teeth"

"When I was much younger, that's when I went to school,"

"And it's called "There's a Rat" or en Français "Y A Un Rat"."
"Un, deux, trois, quatre. (One, two, three, four.)"

"Thank you."
"Time to give the guitar a rest for a minute."
"Let me see you stretch way out here."
"And a stretch way up there."
Raffi and the audience doing a stretch
"And while you're up there, how about a great big sun like this?"
"I have a song about Mr. Sun that says..."
Notice that a couple of people in the audience are holding cue cards.
"How about if we do it with all the grown-ups suns than you're doing it, too?"
"Come on now."
"Very nice."
"May I see your hands in front of you like this?"
"Yeah, that's it, yeah."
"Now what are these?"
"The windshield wipers, that's right."
"Now who would this be?"
"Yeah, the driver."
"Yeah. We've got a hot crowd here today."
"You know what? There was once a very weird store,"
"a very strange store that stood on the corner."
"And all kinds of thing happened in it."
A girl in pigtails in the audience doing sign language on "I have not brought my specs with me"
"Oh, it sounds like a choir in here."
"Very nicely done."
"Yep, you're singing up a whale of a storm here."
"I'll tell you, I'm gonna need your help on this one."
"What I do is I make a trumpet with my mouth like this. I go..."
Raffi mouth trumpeting
"Can you try that once?"
"Alright, wait, wait. How about one note? Let's do one note together."
(Mouth trumpeting) "Everybody."
(Mouth trumpeting)
"This time, put a little more gusto in it. Ready?"
(Mouth trumpeting)
"Yeah, I think we have some trumpet players here."
"So when this part comes up, you can do it with me, okay?"
Raffi mouth trumpeting
"You know what fell out?"

"Would you wonderful singers all take a deep breath in with me like this?"
"And let it out."
"That's good. Once again, let's all take a deep breath in together"
"and quietly let it out."
"That's great. I want you to sit back in your chairs for this next song"
"and all of you close your eyes."
"And you can just hear my voice singing this song for you."
"I'll wait till all of you are ready."
Raffi humming
A young girl drifted off into dreamland
"I'd like to sing Baby Beluga with you."

"I think it's about time that we all stood up for a song together."
"Would you do that?"
"Come on."
"Are you ready for some shaking?"
"Are you ready for some shaking?"
