Plot/Description
Spoiler Warning! James recites this song to
introduce each of his companions to the people of New York. The Centipede,
he says, is so gentle and sweet that the Queen of Spain has had him over
to babysit. The Earthworm is a wonderful digger and would be great for
excavating subway tunnels. The Grasshopper loves to play music and play
with children. The Glow-worm would provide light without need of
electricity. Miss Spider weaves thread and would never have frightened
Miss Muffet away. The Ladybug is beautiful and kind and has many children
back home that are coming on the next peach. The Silkworm makes the best
silk and personally wove the Queen of England's wedding dress. The cops
and people of New York all cheer and welcome James and his friends to the
city.
