I hadn’t thought of this in YEARS. It’s right up there with “Free to Be You and Me,” which has the marvelous Carol Channing and “Housework.”

“The lady we see when we’re watching TV,
The lady who smiles as she scours or scrubs or rubs or washes or wipes or mops or dusts or cleans,
Or whatever she does on our TV screens,
That lady is smiling because she’s an actress,
And she’s earning money for learning those speeches
That mention those wonderful soaps and detergents and cleansers and cleaners and powders and pastes and waxes and bleaches.”

My kids think I’m crazy when I put this on, but then they start giggling. :)

It used to be VERY scarce, but I just looked again, and by golly it's down to just a little more that $20 now! <br/><br/>I still have a little mini-book boxed set of the stories: Alligators All Around, Chicken Soup with Rice, One Was Johnny, and my all-time favorite, Pierre. <br/><br/>It just doesn't get better than that. Why, oh why don't they reissue the video? Oh, Peacebang, you just made my day!
