to see you.

Thanks, Jonathan. I wish

I could, but I can't.

I'm a very busy man now.

I have to get back

to the village. I have a job.

You? Working?

Certainly.

So long. I'll see you

at the fair on Sunday?

Oh, I don't think you will.

Anna and I... we're too old

for things like that.

Oh, Jonathan, how can you

let this fella

miss seeing the fair?

Look, if you can't take him,

let him go with me.

I'll show him a good time.

He'll be the guest

of the second woodwind

in the royal military band.

Ah!

Step up!

Step up!

Step up, my friends,

and see my shoes

I made them especially

for you to use

and I can show you

the smartest shoes

that you ever saw at a fair

step up, my friends,

and see them shine

you never saw shoes

that shine like mine

because I handle

the talented line

exactly the kind

you should wear

these shoes upon my shelf

are shoes I wear myself

these are talented shoes

talented shoes,

talented shoes

they leap and jump

and hop and skip

and every skip

is full of zip

these are talented shoes

talented shoes,

talented shoes

I'll take these.

A man is wise to choose

I'll have a pair.

Such talented,

talented shoes

I'll take these.

Right, right.

Of 7-league

boots

you may have heard

they fly through the air

like a hummingbird

well, I would

never say a word

if mine weren't

better than those...

give us two

of the dancingest pairs.

...boots

set out to fly

they fly much faster

and twice as high

they're just the boots

you ought to buy

if you want to be

on your toes

these shoes upon my shelf

are shoes I wear myself

these are talented shoes

talented shoes,

talented shoes

they leap and jump

and hop and step

and every step

is full of pep

these are talented shoes

talented shoes,

talented shoes

a dunce cannot confuse

such talented,

talented, talented

talented, talented,

talented shoes

hey, tom, what do you think

of those dancing shoes?

Huh?

The dancing shoes.

Oh, I think they're wonderful.

I think so, too.

Let's get some.

But don't you

have to stay here?

Oh, we'll be back before

it's my turn to play.

They'll never miss me

for a few minutes.

Hold on, tom.

Let's go.

I'm sorry, Woody.

All sold out.

Not even a pair for a queen?

Oh, very funny, Woody.

Ha ha ha! Very funny.

Well, how about a pair

for this little fellow?

For tom? You know,

I believe I have.

See if these fit.

Ho ho!

Look at this.

Ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha!

Woody, that no-good loafer...

where is he?

Where is he?

Where's Woody?

I was crazy to give him a job

in the first place.

Woody!

Woody, wherever you are...

You're fired!

Better go after him, Woody.

Those are talented shoes

he's wearing.
