mustache

our old friends at barnacle lights
yeah i love the left look out there
what did you say wayne i said i just
hope it's not rough out there
i hate to get seasick and come home with
the tummy ache
then why are you eating all those
crackers they help settle my stomach
unless i eat too many then they give me
a tummy ache
now then if we're all wearing our life
vests
let's weigh anchor and steer a course
for the high season
[Music]
i can't believe how big all these boats
are
there are so many different kinds what
are they all for
a ship's a big boat and a boat's a
little ship and ships sail on the sea
when you see them at the dock in the
harbor don't appear well
what kind of ship can that be a super
tanker carries
all around the world a liner carries
people even boys and girls
a freighter moves cargo to far distant
lions an aircraft carrier needs lots of
helping hands
big ships sail the ocean blue rivers and
great lakes too
[Music]
moving people and things with care no
matter
what it is a ship can take it there a
trawler can't just fish
for you and me to eat a barge can carry
tons of rocks i think that's really neat
a fairy boat can take you from here to
over there and the coast guard gutter
will save you from a scare
i ship the big boat and a boat's a
little ship and ship sail on the sea
when you see them at the dock in the
harbor on a pier well
what kind of ship can that be a ship's a
big boat
and a boat's a little ship and ships
sail on the sea
now what's that i don't know
oh hi there higgly mateys
delivery
[Music]
you know i could kind of go for a pizza
right about now
oh please don't mention
food i don't understand how being on a
boat can make somebody sick
i like the motion of the boat the way it
goes
up and down up and down
oh yeah and side to side
side to side and back and forth
back and forth if only the
boat would just stop
that's better good sweet mike
we've run aground
this running aground is it a bad thing
well it's not the best thing that could
have happened
but it's certainly not the worst we're
just stuck in a little sand bar
but don't you worry we'll be unstuck and
on our way
in no time
anything this time no
well if backing up won't do the trick
let's try going forward
i think maybe we moved a little did we
move a little
oh no well i guess it's time
we got some help why don't we leave
uncle zuty here with the boat
while you kids walk down the beach with
aunt milly until you find someone who
can help us
this show is um an empty stretch of
shore
we must have walked a good quarter mile
and we haven't
seen a single other person we saw a
turtle
and a stick a stick is not a person and
a turtle is
well a turtle is iffy hey look
at last we found somebody where in luck
he or she will know about boats and
uh getting them off sandbars and stuff
exactly
[Music]
hey look it's the same kind of boat as
the rusty gnome
you're right and you know something else
that filler on deck is a ringer for your
uncle
wow yeah
[Music]
it is your uncle how can that be
maybe there's two uncle zooters
one is the real uncle zooter and the
other is his twin
zoda doesn't have a twin twin robot
afraid not from mars
there's a simpler explanation kids we
just walked around in a big circle
you see this
[Music]
an island a does that mean we're
marooned
yeah like stuck here forever could be
cool or at least until high tide
high tide what's that well
low tide is when this here water flows
out to sea
and gets shallower way ray is high tide
is when the water
comes in and gets deeper deep enough to
float our boat right off this sandbar
so when does the tide come in well it's
different
every day because the moon is in a
different place every day
what's the moon have to do with the tide
well
the moon is like a magnet and it pulls
the ocean towards it
so if the moon is over there the water
will go over there too
well when does the water come over here
hmm according to these tables
the next high tide is at 8 23 tonight
8 23 but let's pass by bedtime
and it's way too late to visit our
friends at barnacle lights
that is a good point but what else can
we do
oh oh i know i know i know
[Music]
water goes wherever the moon goes right
so all we have to do is pull the moon in
nice and close
and then the ocean will be sure to
follow
the only tricky part will be hooking the
moon up to a rope
so we'll be able to pull it in closer
for that
we're going to need to get a hold of a
certain famous jumping cow
up over the moon she'll go and when she
comes down
gotcha so what do you think
wow that's a pretty swell idea twinkle
but i'm afraid the moon is somewhere
around
238 857 miles away
what are the chances that there's a rope
that long just lying around on this tiny
uninhabited island pretty slim i'm
afraid
ah pickles now what are we gonna do
i don't know but we better do it fast
that fog is coming this way
maybe we should get someone special to
help us
someone special who could it be this
job's too big for you and me
we need some help but never firo it
looks like a job
for higley town hero
i'm a hilly town hero brave and true i
help the town with the things i do
so work real hard and you will see that
you can be a hero
just like me a hero just like me
i'm a tugboat captain i'll guide your
ship safe through port to a mooring slip
my tugboat's small but tough as nails
the harbors workhorse never
fails when ships get into port
to dock they're about as clumsy as an ox
without my tugboats helping hand ships
can get
stuck in the sand could you save a
tanker that lost
its anchor
[Music]
if a freighter lost this way could your
tugboat save the day
no matter where your ship must go my tug
and i will give a tow
the work of a tugboat never ends a boat
on which a lot depends
i'm a higglytown hero bold and good i
help my friends just like i should
work real hard that's what
[Music]
