What have I done?

[Cindy B]

"Mother Necessity, where would we be"


That one had a woman with a sewing machine, talked about the cotton gin, airplanes, cars, etc..


And one of my favorites. was the ERA movement one.. one for equal rights of women, of course the topic was woman voting, but we all knew what it was really about... it was pretty interesting timing that this was out right around the same time as the ERA was trying to get passed.


Yeah!... Hurray!

Now you have heard
Of women's rights
And how we've tried
To reach new heights
If we're all created equal,
That's us too.

>> Yeah!

But you will proba-
Bly not recall...
That it's not been
Too long at all,
Since we even had the right to
Cast a vote.

>> Well...

Well sure some men
Bowed down and called us misses, >> Yeah!
Let us hang the wash out,
And wash the dishes, >> Huh...
But when the time rolled around
To elect a president
What did they say, sisters?

>> What did they say?

They said, uh, see you later,
Alligator, and don't forget my, my...
My mashed potatoes,
Because I'm going downtown to
Cast my vote for president.

But we were sufferin',
Until suffrage, >> Whoah...
Not a woman here could vote
No matter what age.
Then the 19th Amendment
Struck down that restrictive rule.

>> Oh yeah!

Now we pull down
On the lever
Cast our ballots,
And we endeavor
To improve our country,
State, county, town and school.

>> Tell 'em bout it!

Those pilgrim women who
Who braved the boat
>> They cook, cook, cooked!
Could cook the turkey, but they,
They could not vote
Even Betsy Ross who sewed the flag
Was left behind that first election day.

>> What a shame, sisters!

Then Susan B.
Anthony >> Yeah!
and Julia Howe, >> Lucretia!
Lucretia March, >> And others!
They showed us how,
They carried signs
And marched in lines
Until at long last
The law was passed.

Oh we were sufferin',
Until suffrage,
Not a woman here could vote
No matter what age.
Then the 19th Amendment
Struck down that restrictive rule.

>> Oh yeah!

And now we pull down
On the lever
Cast our ballots,
And we endeavor
To improve our country,
State, county, town and school.

Yes the 19th Amendment
Struck down that restrictive rule.
Yes the 19th Amendment
Struck down that restrictive rule.

>> Yeah, yeah!

(We've got 'em now!)
Since 1920, Sisters Unite! Oh lord!

Interjection! Shows excitement! Or emotion! Is generally set apart from a sentence by an exclaimation point, or by a comma if the feeling's not as strong.

I love that song!

TWO ELEMENTARY, MY DEAR
Music & Lyrics: Bob Dorough
Sung by: Bob Dorough
Animation: Paul Kimmelman and Associates

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 Mount Ararat.
And one of his children grabbed Noah's robe and said...

Elementary, my dear, two time two is four.
Elementary, my dear, two time three is six.
Elementary, my dear, two time four is eight.
Elementary, my dear, two time five is ten.

THREE IS A MAGIC NUMBER
Music & Lyrics: Bob Dorough
Sung by: Bob Dorough
Animation: Focus Design, Inc.

Three is a magic number.
Yes it is, it's a magic number.
Somewhere in the ancient, mystic trinity
You get three as a magic number.
The past and the present and the future,
Faith and hope and charity,
The heart and the brain and the body
Give you three.
That's a magic number.

It takes three legs to make a tri-pod or to make a table stand.
It takes three wheels to make a ve-hicle called a tricycle.
Every triangle has three corners,
Every triangle has three sides,
No more, no less.
You don't have to guess.
When it's three you can see it's a magic number.

A man and a woman had a little baby.
Yes, they did.
They had three in the family.
That's a magic number.

3, 6, 9... 12, 15, 18... 21, 24, 27... 30.
3, 6, 9... 12, 15, 18... 21, 24, 27... 30.


THE FOUR-LEGGED ZOO
Music & Lyrics: Bob Dorough
Sung by: Bob Dorough
Animation: Paul Kimmelman and Associates

We went to the four-legged zoo,
To visit our four-footed friends.
Lions and tigers, cats and dogs,
A goat and a cow and a couple of hogs
A rhinoceros and of course a hippopotamus,
And, oh yes, a horse.

An elk and a bison and a gnu or two,
Giraffes and elephants, quite a few.
A llama, alpaca, bicuna too,
Zebras, xebexes, and one big kudu.
It was swell!
I liked the gazelles!
FIVE, READY OR NOT, HERE I COME

5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80,
85, 90, 95, 100, ready or not, here I come.

Apples, peaches, pumpkin pie,
Who's not ready, haller "Aye"...

5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80,
85, 90, 95, 100, 105, 110, 115, 120.

A bushel o' wheat, and a bushel o' rye,
Who's not hid, haller "Aye"....
Twenty nickels makes a dollar.
I didn't hear any anybody haller.
Five times twenty is one hundred,
Everybody got to be hid.
All eyes open, here I come. Woo!

I GOT SIX
Music & Lyrics: Bob Dorough
Sung by: Grady Tate
Animation: Paul Kimmelman and Associates

I got six, that's all there is.
Six time one is six; one times six.

He got six. I put mine with his, and we got twelve.
Six time two is twelve; two times six.

I got six, you got six, she got six.
Six time four is 24; four times six.

I got six red hens, they laid five eggs each.
Six time five is 30; five times six.

LUCKY SEVEN SAMPSON
Music & Lyrics: Bob Dorough
Sung by: Bob Dorough
Animation: Paul Kimmelman and Associates

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 guess I love to play, and pass the time away.
'Cause I was born 'neath a lucky star!

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!

You multiply seven time one,
I got seven days to get that problem done.
Multiply seven time two,
Take 14 laughs when you're feelin' blue.
Multiply seven time three,
A 21-day vacation, you can play with me.
Multiply seven time four,
You got 28 days, that's-a one month more,
To pay the mortgage on your store, don't worry!

FIGURE EIGHT
Music & Lyrics: Bob Dorough
Sung by: Blossom Dearie
Animation: Paul Kimmelman and Associates

Figure eight, as double four.
Figure four, as half of eight.
If you skate, you would be great,
If you could make a figure eight.
That's a circle that turns 'round upon itself.

One times eight is two times four.
Four times four is two times eight.
If you skate upon thin ice,
You'd be wise, if you looked twice
Before you made another single move.

One times eight is eight, two times eight is 16
Three times eight is 24, four times eight is 32
And five times eight is 40, you know.

Six times eight is 48, seven times eight is 56,
Eight times eight is 64, nine times eight is 72,
And ten times eight is 80, that's true.

Eleven times eight is 88, and twelve times eight is 96.
Now here's a chance to get off on your new math tricks:
'Cause twelve times eight is the same as ten times eight
Plus two times eight: 80 plus 16, ninety-six!

NAUGHTY NUMBER NINE
Music & Lyrics: Bob Dorough
Sung by: Grady Tate
Animation: Paul Kimmelman and Associates

Number nine will put you on the spot.
Number nine will tie you up in a knot.
When you're trying, multiplyin' by nine
You might give it everything you got
And still be stopped.
.
.
.
One times nine is nine, and two times nine is 18.
Mean ol' number nine.
Three times nine is 27, and four times nine is 36.
Five times nine is 45, and six times nine is 54,
And seven times nine is 63.
Eight times nine is 72, and nine times nine is 81,
And ten times nine is 90.

ZERO, MY HERO
Music & Lyrics: Bob Dorough
Sung by: Bob Dorough
Animation: Focus Design, Inc.

My hero, zero.
Such a funny little hero,
But till you came along, we counted on our fingers and toes.
Now you're here to stay,
And nobody really knows
How wonderful you are,
Why we could never reach a star,
Without you zero, my hero,
How wonderful you are.

But place a zero after 1
And you've got yourself a 10.
See how important that is?
When you run out of digits,
You can start all over again.
See how convenient that is?
That's why, with only ten digits, including zero,
You could count as high as you could ever go...
Forever, towards infinity...
No one ever gets there, but you could try.


THE GOOD ELEVEN
Music & Lyrics: Bob Dorough
Sung by: Bob Dorough

Good, good, good, good... the good eleven
It's almost as easy as multiplying by one.
Good, good, good, good eleven
Yes, eleven almost makes multiplication fun.

Some people get up at a quarter till seven
Other people I've met, till 8:45 or nine.
But I'm happy just a-hanging there till eleven.
Cause eleven has always been a friend of mine.

LITTLE TWELVETOES
Music & Lyrics: Bob Dorough
Sung by: Bob Dorough

Now if man had been born with 6 fingers on each hand, he'd also have 12 toes or so the theory goes.
Well, with twelve digits, I mean fingers, he probably would have invented two more digits when he invented his number system. Then, if he saved the zero for the end, he could count and multiply by twelve just as easily as you and I do by ten.

Now if man had been born with 6 fingers on each hand, he'd probably count: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, dek, el, doh. "Dek" and "el" being two entirely new signs meaning ten and eleven. Single digits! And his twelve, "doh", would be written 1-0.
Get it? That'd be swell, for multiplying by 12.
