January 1991 Segment 1

    Chuck:

    Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls! Presenting a show like no other show! Some

    songs…Jasper, pal. What’s the problem, old buddy?

    Jasper:

    Well, Chuck E., sometimes I just feel like I don’t have any friends. Well I mean, I know

    that you guys are all my friends, but sometimes it’s hard to make new friends.

    [Song: A World of Ways to say Hi]

    Chuck: (Singing)

    Music, mistro Munch.

    There’s times you’d like to meet someone, but you’re feeling a little shy.

    The words don’t seem to come out right and you think you’re gonna cry.

    Instead of feeling that you’re gonna do something that’s wrong, we’ll show you how to meet most any person with this song.

    To greet someone in English I’m sure you all must know.

    To simply smile and shake their hand and give them a big “Hello!”

    Pasqually: (Singing)

    But what if your new neighbor had spent her life in France?

    Chuck: (Singing)

    In that case say “Bonjour, madame!” and smile with confidence

    Pasqually: (Singing)

    Ah, bonjour!

    Chuck: (Singing)

    Hello!

    Chuck + Pasqually: (Singing)

    A world of ways to say “Hi” all you gotta do is try

    Jasper: (Singing)

    Saying “Buenos días” can make you a new friend if your friend’s from Spain or Mexico or South American

    Remember, Jasper, after you meet em, you gotta know how to treat em

    Jasper:

    What do you mean?

    [Song: Treat em like you wanna be treated]

    Helen: (Singing)

    Don’t it make you mad when somebody treats you wrongly?

    Jasper:

    Sure makes my fur stand on end

    Helen: (Singing)

    It makes you feel confused and it hurts your feelings strongly and who needs that?

    Munch: (Singing)

    But there might be a reason that you’re feeling so blue. Have you been doing to them as

    they are doing to you? You gotta

January 1991 Segment 2

    Helen Henny:

    Chuck E., last week I spilled grape juice on Pasqually and I just didn’t know what to say!

    Pasqually:

    Oh that was nothing, Miss Helen. One time I forgot to add the flour to the pizza

    Helen Henny:

    You’re kidding!

    Pasqually:

    I didn’t know what to tell them

    Chuck E. Cheese:

    Jasper, what did that little guy tell you last week?

    Jasper T. Jowls: (Singing)

    Well a little guy told me just the other day.

    His daddy said “Son, get all those toys put away.”

    The little guy just ran outside and started to play.

    When his daddy tracked him down this is all he could say.

    “Whoops, wow, who me? Nothing up my sleeve, see? Gosh, golly, oh geez. Zap bap diddle dee.

    Whoops, wow, who me? I’m the one you wanna see? Gosh, golly, oh geez. Zap bap boom”

    Chuck E. Cheese: (Singing)

    Well the coach said “Munch, you better go run a mile.” he said

    Mr. Munch:

    “Sure thing coach, I’ll be back in a while.”

    Chuck E. Cheese: (Singing)

    But working up a sweat just ain’t munch’s style. When he tried to explain, he told the coach with a smile

    Mr. Munch: (Singing)

    And Chuck E. found himself in this black tie situation.

    He was supposed to deliver some sort of verbal dissertation.

    But when he stepped up to the mic he was full of exasperation.

    He forgot the speech and so he used improvisation, hahaha!

    All: (Singing)

    Whoops, wow, who me? Nothing up my sleeve, see? Gosh, golly, oh geez. Zap bap diddle dee.

    Whoops, wow, who me? I’m the one you wanna see? Gosh, golly, oh geez. Zap bap boom

    Helen Henny: (Singing)

    When teacher gives you homework, it’s a thing you should do.

    Forget about the TV and your play friends too.

    Apply yourself and soon you’ll be a smart buckaroo

    Pasqually: (Singing)

    But what do you do if you’re at the zoo and a kangaroo takes your homework from you?

    Kids:

    A kangaroo?

    Chuck E. Cheese:

    Now I’ve heard everything

    All: (Singing)

    Whoops, wow, who me? Nothing up my sleeve, see? Gosh, golly, oh geez. Zap bap diddle dee.

    Whoops, wow, who me? I’m the one you wanna see? Gosh, golly, oh geez. Zap bap boom

    Kids: (Singing)

    There’s times I can’t explain all the things that are in my brain. So I hope you understand it when I say

    All: (Singing)

    Zap bap boom

    Chuck E. Cheese:

    You know, a few weeks ago, a kid was standing right here in front of me, and he told another kid he didn’t like him because his tennis shoes were the wrong color. His tennis shoes. Friends, one of the things that makes us special is the fact that we can all be different and it’s ok. That’s why there are so many different toppings for the pizzas. And I believe the band has something to say on the subject. Take it, group

    Mr. Munch: (Singing)

    I know I’m purple and I don’t see too many purple people around. Does that mean I’m different?

    Helen Henny: (Singing)

    Helen Henny & Mr. Munch: (Singing)

    Just cause I don’t talk like you, I deserve respect, it’s true. Please remember I’ve got feelings too

    Kids: (Singing)

    All: (Singing)
