Super Slide 3rd and Bird

# 3rd

# 3rd & Bird - where the birdies meet

# Just above the street to sing twiddly-dee

# 3rd...3rd & Bird

# Where a bird or two can play peek-a-boo

# On the avenue... #

THEY WHISTLE

ALL: # ..On 3rd, 3rd, 3rd... 3rd & Bird. #

Whee!

Super slide!

Samuel!

Hi, Muffin.

Want to help me pull up some weeds?

Uh... Uh...

Uh!

Samuel, look!

-Wow! A new super slide at the park!

-SAMUEL WHISTLES

Muffin slide? Muffin slide?

Well, let's find out.

Mum, can you take us to the super slide at the park?

-Pretty please, Mum?

-Aw, I'm sorry, loves,

but I have to help Mrs Billingsley in her garden.

BOTH: But Mum...

We'll go some other time.

BOTH: Hmm... OK!

Muffin no slide.

Muffin just sit.

Cheer up, sis.

I have an idea.

We can make our own slide.

Really?

Course!

# Not to worry, Muffin

# It shouldn't be too hard

# We can make a little slide

# Right here in our yard

# And when we've done I for one think you'll be satisfied

# We can make, we can make We can make a slide... #

MUFFIN WHISTLES

# ..First we need to find a leaf

# Some have Muffin found

# Then we take a couple of sticks and stick them in the ground

# And in a minute you'll be in it going for a ride

# Yes! We can make, we can make We can make a slide

-BOTH:

-# Yes! We can make, we can make We can make a slide! #

Well, are we having fun yet?

No.

Oh...

How about now?

Samuel, Muffin wants SUPER slide.

Hmm.

Did somebody say "super slide"?

Rudy, do you know about the super slide?

Been there! Slid down that.

Muffin really wants a slide so I made her this one.

Slide - yes. Super - no.

It's very nice, Samuel.

But I can help you build a really super slide.

Thanks, Rudy. That'd be...super!

All right, then.

First things first.

# A super slide has got to be long

# If it doesn't touch the sky then something is wrong

# We can build a slide that's closer to the one that's on the poster

# If you follow me and sing along...

# Super slide, super slide

# Down the tree as fast as we can ride

# A mother of modern engineering fearlessly applied

ALL: # It's a super-duper slide!... #

THEY WHISTLE THE TUNE

# A super slide has got to be big

# You can't go building one with just a twig

# It's got curlicues and curves

# Yes, it swivels and it swerves

# You make it zag and then you make it zig

# Super slide

# Super slide

# Down the tree as fast as we can ride

# It's of all the best of all the things you've tried

# It's a super-duper

# Ray-yay-yipper

# It's a super-duper slide! #

Spicy!

Thanks, Rudy.

We couldn't have done it without you.

I know.

Muffin slide! Muffin slide!

Muffin, will you do the honours?

Super slide...

..open!

Magnifique!

Whee! Muffin go!

Muffin stop.

Try wiggling, Muffin.

No slide.

Sorry, Muffin. I really thought it would work.

So did I.

I guess we won't be sliding today after all.

What?! But you've built such a lovely slide.

You can't give up now.

# You worked so hard to build your slide

# And now you've hit a rut

# Yes, you could quit and say that's it

# That's one option but...

# What's the good in giving up?

# Absolutely none at all, I say

# If you don't succeed at first

# It's really not the worst

# So keep on trying There's always a way

# What's to gain by calling quits?

# Positively not one thing, I say

# If a problem you can't solve

# Take a deep breath with resolve

# And keep on trying There's always a way

# We didn't shirk We put in the work

# We can't just give up now

# Muffin still wants slippery slide

# We just need to work out how

# For what's the good in giving up?

# Absolutely none at all, I say

# If you don't succeed at first

# It's really not the worst

# So keep on trying There's always a way... #

MUFFIN WHISTLES THE TUNE

You're right, Mrs Billingsley. We won't give up.

Yeah. We'll keep on trying until we...whoa!

Rudy, what was that?

I said, we'll keep on trying until we...whoa!

That's it!

If we put water on the slide, that'll make it slippery.

Then it'll really be a super slide.

Great idea, Samuel.

Mrs Billingsley, can you spray water from your hose onto the slide?

I would be honoured, Samuel.

Muffin slide!

# The slide's all ready On your marks, get set, go!

# We're zooming down fast Yeah, we're going with the flow

# It's the quickest, slickest ride I've slid down yet

# Our super slide is slippery when wet

# Slip, slip, slip, slip Slippery when wet

# Didn't work at first

# Now look out, here we come

# Muffin's sliding down on Muffin's bum

# It's the fastest thing on 3rd & Bird, I bet

ALL: # Yeah! Our super slide is slippery when wet

# Slip, slip, slip, slip Slippery when wet

# Slip, slip, slip, slip Slippery when wet

# Slip, slip, slip, slip Slippery when wet... #

# Do the Muffin, the Muffin

# Shaky shake, the Muffin

# Ahh! Ahh! Ooh!

# Da-da, the Muffin...#

SHE WHISTLES

# ..Da-da, the Muffin! #
