Marta Pearl Beary: Thank you, KatieBear. I'm glad that someone on the bookshelf knows the right words.
Nanette DuBeary: Lots of us know the words. We just aren't sure we want to sing them.
Alice B. Patchberry: Some can sing and some can just say them. It's okay either way. We'll be like a 3-part harmony divided into 50 parts.
Miss Liberty Melody Barbara Hope Francis: My second name is "Melody" because I can sing. <sings> Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are. Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are.
Marta Pearl Beary: That's not the birthday song.
Miss Liberty Melody Barbara Hope Francis: That's MY birthday song.
Momma: She's a baby. It's the only song she knows.
Sam: <sigh> Let's give it a try and see how it goes.

Miss Liberty Melody Barbara Hope Francis: How I wonder what you are.

Billy: I want to sing the squashed tomatoes birthday song.

Minnesota Moose: I can't sing. Can I just say the birthday birthday song?
Bitsy: The birthday birthday song?
Minnesota Moose: The one KatieBear sang.
Sam: We can practice a few times before Ms. Mary gets home from work. Everyone can pick the song they want to sing, and then we'll sing them all together.
Bitsy: I pick the rock-a-bye birthday song.
Sam: The rock-a-bye birthday song?
Bitsy: <sings> Rock-a-bye, baby, in the tree top. When the wind blows, the cradle will rock. Down will come baby, cradle and all.
Miss Liberty Melody Barbara Hope Francis: I don't think I like that song.
Bitsy: It's not about you.
Miss Liberty Melody Barbara Hope Francis: I don't think I like that song.
Bitsy: If you get to pick a twinkle birthday song, then I can pick a rock-a-bye birthday song.
Patriot Bear SIR: HARRUMPH!!
Bitsy: It's not about her.
Sam: When I said everyone could pick the song they wanted to sing, I meant for us to pick one of the three songs we had already heard.
Bitsy: I can't sing the rock-a-bye birthday song?
Sam: You can sing it after we all finish singing the 3-part harmony.
