Richard Scarry's Best Busy People Video Ever!

Narrator: "Richard Scarry's Best Busy People Video Ever."

Welcome to Busytown, where everyone is very busy.

Busy people, busy people

Working hard all over town

Busy when the sun comes up

Busy when the sun goes down

In bakeries or beauty shops

Using hammers, using mops

At computers, on the phone

They work together or alone

Busy people, busy people

Working hard all over town

Busy when the sun comes up

Busy when the sun goes down

Washing windows, driving cars

Photographing movie stars

Teaching children, fixing shoes

Making things we all can use

Busy people, busy people

Working hard all over town

Busy when the sun comes up

Busy when the sun goes down

Narrator: This is the Busytown Schoolhouse.

Miss Honey and her class have been busy all morning talking about what people do all day.

Miss Honey: As you can see, there are a lot of different jobs that people do.

(school bell rings)

Miss Honey: Oh! It's time to go to the playground.

While we're there, why don't you think about what you want to be when you grow up?

(students chattering)

Miss Honey: Slow down, Huckle!

Rhonda Raccoon: What do you want to be when you grow up, Freddie?

Freddie Fox: I love making mud pies.

So when I grow up...

I want to be a baker and make real pies. Want a piece?

Rhonda Raccoon: (disgusts) Ooh!

Freddie Fox: (chuckles)

Narrator: Here's Baker Freddie.

He's making banana cream pies.

First, he rolls out the dough to make the pie crust.

While Freddie is making pies, Able Baker Charlie is baking bread.

He has mixed together the flour and water to make the dough.

Now, he is adding yeast to make the dough rise.

Baker Freddie: Be careful not to add too much yeast, Able Baker Charlie!

Able Baker Charlie: Don't worry, Freddie, it's an old family recipe!

Narrator: Now, Freddie is ready to make the filling for the pie.

First, he adds eggs.

Then, milk. Sugar. And lots of bananas.

Then he mixes them all together.

Next, he pours the filling into the pie crust.

Baker Freddie and Mr. Humperdink: (gasp) Uh-oh!

Baker Freddie: Able Baker Charlie, I think you put too much yeast in your bread dough again!

Rhonda Raccoon: Vroom, vroom!

If you'll be a baker, I could be a truck driver.

I could pick up your pies at the bakery and take them to the store in my truck.

Beep, beep!
