Plot[]

The video begins with the entire Busytown at night seen on birds-eye view. Then it goes on to Huckle Cat's house. At bedtime in Huckle's bedroom in his house, Mother Cat sings the nursery rhyme, "Little Jack Horner", on the Mother Goose book. Then Huckle sings the last line of the rhyme as Little Jack Horner himself. Mother Cat closes the book and tells Huckle that is enough Mother Goose for tonight. She tucks Huckle in bed and tells him it's time to go to sleep. But he doesn't want to go to sleep without Lowly. He asks Mother Cat if they can look for him some more. But Father Cat tells his son he's sure Lowly is around here somewhere, so he'll find him later. But right now, it's time for Huckle to go to sleep. He asks Mother Cat if she could sing just one more song (Starlight, Starbright). Mother Cat responds. Then she sings just one more. Then, Huckle says the last two lines of the lullaby.

Then, she kisses Huckle good night. Huckle wishes he could find Lowly and dreams of himself dressed as a young emperor in a strange land at sunset that doesn't look like Busytown anymore. When he finds a golden crown on the ground he puts it on his head in between his two black pointy ears, he becomes Emperor Huckle and wonders if Lowly is here. Emperor Huckle looks around and calls for his best friend. But he can't find him anywhere because it's getting late. So he has to start looking for him.

While Emperor Huckle starts looking for Lowly, he stops to look at Empress Lily Bunny, Freddie Fox, Dennis and Patty Elephant playing London Bridge. Empress Lily asks Huckle if he wants to come and play with them. Huckle agrees to play, but maybe just for a little while. The Emperor gets caught by Dennis and Patty. After that, he tells Freddie, Lily, Dennis and Patty that was fun and they would like to play again. Huckle likes to, but right now had better look for his friend, Lowly Worm. He's lost. Huckle asks them where he is and thinks he's lost too. Patty tells him he's in Mother Goose Land. The Empress says it's the nicest place to be. She asks Huckle to stay and play with them some more. But Huckle really must find Lowly, then asks Lily if they've seen Lowly. She asks Huckle what Lowly looks like. He says he kind of looks like Lowly Worm. Patty, Dennis, Freddie and Lily say they are sorry they haven't seen him. But Huckle has to keep looking. So he goes on his way while looking and calling for Lowly again.

On the way, Huckle stops and looks at Mary and her little lamb, Fluffy. Mary tells Fluffy that it can't go with her to school today, so it has to stay here and be good while she's gone. But when the lamb follows Mary to school, the children at the playground laughed at them and Miss Honey is afraid. She tells Mary that she will have to take that lamb home again. Mary and Fluffy agree sadly. But she tells Mary that she can bring Fluffy in just this once to make it her show-and-tell for today. Huckle comes up to school, excuses Miss Honey and asks her if she's seen Lowly Worm, but she hasn't. She asks him if he’s in kindergarten, but he tells Miss Honey he isn’t. Then she's afraid she haven't seen him. She tells him to go and ask Old Mother Hubbard who lives just down the road. The Emperor agrees and heads on his way to Hubbard's house while still calling for his best friend.

At Hubbard's house, she goes to the cupboard to fetch poor Gerald Dog a bone. But when she gets there, it is bare and so poor Gerald had none. Hubbard goes to the fishmonger's, the grocer's and the cobbler's to buy some fish, fruit and shoes. But when she comes back to her house, Gerald licks the dish, plays the flute and reads the magazine. The magazine says "BIG SALE ON BONES." Suddenly, there's a knock at the door, she opens it. It was Huckle who misses his friend, Lowly Worm. Huckle tells Hubbard and Gerald he was wondering if they've seen his friend. Hubbard thinks of Lowly Worm and then asks Huckle what he looks like. Huckle tells her that he still kind of looks like Lowly Worm. Hubbard is sorry that she didn't seen him in the grocer's or the cobbler's. She would like to help Huckle look for him, but she has to go down to the butcher's shop, because they're having big sale on bones. So she and Gerald go down to the butcher's shop. Emperor Huckle has to keep looking for his best friend again. And so, he goes on his way to keep looking for his friend again while still calling for his friend again.

Little Bo Peep (Rhonda Raccoon) is looking and calling for her sheep. Some of her sheep's names are Fred, Ginger, Isabella, and Ferdinand. After the song, when Emperor Huckle looks for his friend Lowly, he bumps into Bo Peep. She tells him that she lost her sheep and she doesn't know where to find them. Emperor Huckle tells Bo Peep that he lost Lowly and he doesn't know where to find him either. Bo Peep tells the Emperor that they're behind that bush. The Emperor and Bo Peep look into the bush but they can't find them, so they called for her sheep and his best friend again. But they still can't find them, because they're not here. Maybe her sheep are over there in that field. Bo Peep tells him she will go look over there and he'll go look up the road. So they had to split up to find them.

Elsewhere in Mother Goose Land, Luis Cat plays the fiddle, the cow jumps over the moon (which is not seen in this video nor at the end), D.W. Dog laughs to see such sport, and the dish runs away with the spoon. Meanwhile, Emperor Huckle keeps looking and calling for his friend Lowly and does not watch where he is going. The dish and the spoon trip over his foot and doesn't ask if they've seen Lowly, but they’re excused and kind of in a rush, because they're late for dinner and run off. Poor Emperor Huckle wanders off sadly that he'd lost his best friend, dragging a small brown stone in the road by kicking it with his foot.

Little Miss Muffet (Mrs. Hippo) eats her curds and whey, when suddenly she sees a spider. Then she screams and runs away from the spider and bumps into Emperor Huckle with fright while she keeps running away. He thinks that the spider has seen Lowly Worm. He puts the crown back on his head, gets up and walks to see the spider, who sat down beside her and frightened her away. The spider doesn't know why Miss Muffet has a problem with him. He's really a very nice fellow. The Emperor is sure the spider is. He looks lost. The spider asks him how he can help him. Emperor Huckle is looking for his best friend, Lowly Worm. He asks the spider if he's seen him go past here. The spider hasn't, but he did see all the king's horses and men run by. Humpty Dumpty must have fallen off the wall again and they can't put him back together. Huckle thanks the spider and sets off to keep looking for Lowly again by calling, "Lowly! Lowly!" But it's getting late again.

Emperor Huckle stops to look in the window of the Three Little Kittens' house and sees Mary Mouse who runs up and down the clock. He doesn't ask her if she's seen Lowly. After that, she says she's got to get the clock fixed. The Emperor wonders if there's anyone home. Then he hears sad meows and goes up to the backyard of the house. They were the Three Little Kittens (Kathy, Quincy, and Abby Cat) in their backyard. While Mother Kitten is hanging up the wet clothes, Emperor Huckle comes up to ask them what is wrong and he can help them. They’re sad because they’re missing their mittens...again. So they ask Huckle if he's seen them. But Huckle tells them he’s sorry and he hasn't seen them. Then he asks them if they have seen Lowly. He's lost him. They haven't because they have trouble at finding things, but the only thing they do is lose them. So they need help from him. If they don't find their mittens, they won't be able to have any more pie. But when he finds their mittens are in the bush, the Three Little Kittens are surprised and excited. Then they run to pull them out, put them on and thank him. Then they tell their mother they'd found their mittens. Mother Kitten is so surprised and glad then they should have some pie. She thanks Emperor Huckle for helping the Three Little Kittens find their mittens before letting them have some pie. She asks him if he would like to have some, but he can't because he would like to find his best friend, Lowly Worm. So the Emperor asks Mother Kitten if she's seen Lowly too. She hasn't seen him yet. She tells Huckle to go down the road to the farm and talk to Little Boy Blue by the haystack. Emperor Huckle tells them he could ask him, but he has to go. So he goes on his way to the farm to find him.

On his way to the farm, Emperor Huckle Cat and Little Bo Peep are calling for his best friend (Lowly Worm) and her sheep (Fred, Ginger, Isabella, and Ferdinand) when suddenly they bump into each other again. Bo Peep greets Emperor Huckle again. She guesses he hasn't found his friend yet and she hasn't found her sheep either. The Emperor tells Bo Peep he was just going to ask Little Boy Blue if he's seen Lowly. Maybe they could go to the farm and ask him about her sheep. When they got to the barn, they don't ask him if he's seen Lowly and her sheep. But he's fast asleep under the haystack and his feet are shown. Then, after the rhyme/song, Bo Peep found her sheep at last. She tells them where they have been. She was so worried about them. Then Bo Peep notices Little Boy Blue is still sleeping under the haystack. She tells her sheep they can't just run off like that. Her sheep have to watch where they're going as she leads them down the road. It looks like the poor Emperor will not find Lowly, and so he wanders off sadly.

Old Woman lives in a shoe. She has so many bunny rabbit children but she doesn't know what to do. So, she calls them to line up by ringing the bell. Then she gives them some broth or soup without any bread and kisses them all soundly and put them to bed. After the song, she gives some soup to one of her children in named Betsy, which the Old Woman mistakes as Bonnie. Then, at last, she gives the last spoonful to one of her children and tells him he's off to bed. He is not one of her children. But his name is Emperor Huckle and he's looking for his friend, Lowly. The Emperor asks the Old Woman if she's seen him. She thinks of Lowly and then asks the Emperor if he is one of her children. Emperor Huckle doesn't think so, because Lowly is a worm. Then Old Woman definitely hasn't seen him. But she tells Huckle to go the town square and ask Wee Willie Winkie who knows where everybody is. Emperor Huckle thanks the Old Woman and gets on his way to the town square in Mother Goose Land.

At 8 o'clock at night, Wee Willie Winkie runs through the town square in Mother Goose Land upstairs and downstairs in his nightgown while rapping at the window and crying through the lock, "Are there children all in bed for now it's 8 o'clock?" When Huckle reaches the town square after the rhyme, he asks Willie if he's excused. Willie is sorry, but he can't stop the talk. He has to make sure all the children are in the bed. Emperor Huckle sits on the front porch steps of one of the houses and Willie asks Huckle why isn't he in bed. Emperor Huckle was in bed, but now he's looking for his friend Lowly. He's lost. Willie thinks that's too bad. He'd like to help Huckle look for Lowly, but Willie hasn't finished his job here. He's sorry again, but he has to go. So he says goodbye and runs away to finish his job. Poor Emperor Huckle puts his paws on his cheeks, thinking that he'd lost his friend again while he hears Willie shouting, "Lights out! It's 8 o'clock! Time for bed!" Then Emperor Huckle is about to cry while he hears laughing. Then he looks up. The laughing is coming from the big castle. Maybe the people in the big castle will know where Lowly is, Emperor Huckle thinks. It belongs to Old King Cole. And so, Huckle decides to go to see King Cole's party in his castle.

At King Cole’s party in his castle, Emperor Huckle stops and sees Little Bo Peep, Gerald Dog who plays the flute, Luis Cat who plays the fiddle, D.W. Dog, the dish, the spoon, Little Miss Muffet, the spider and King Cole dancing. While they're dancing, King Cole calls for his pipe, his bowl, and his fiddlers three (The Piglets) by clapping his hands. After the rhyme/song, Emperor Huckle and King Cole applaud for them and he tells him that was fun. That's what they do in his castle. Then, King Cole asks Emperor Huckle if they want to play hide and seek. He'd love to, but he needs to find his friend Lowly. He asks King Cole if he's seen him. King Cole asks him Lowly is very long and thin, and wears a green hat, and one shoe... but he hasn't seen him. But if he does, he'll tell him Emperor Huckle's looking for Lowly because that's what he looks like. Emperor Huckle is so upset again, but Old King Cole tells him they haven't had their pie yet. King Cole asks him if he can stay for a piece of pie. Huckle likes to, but he has to find Lowly.

Emperor Huckle accidentally goes into the kitchen and he thinks that this isn't the way out. Baker Fox greets him to come in that he is just in time, so he can help him take the pie in to Old King Cole. Suddenly, a blackbird pops out of the pie. Baker Fox tells the blackbird to get back into the pie, because it's supposed to be a surprise. So Emperor Huckle and Baker Fox take the pie with 4-and-20 blackbirds in to King Cole at his party. Meanwhile, Lowly Worm appears from the outside kitchen window and jumps onto the table then into the bag of flour, pops up from the bag and he's all covered with flour, and makes the surprise pie for Emperor Huckle in the kitchen. After Emperor Huckle and Baker Fox take the blackbird pie to King Cole at his party, he opens the pie and there are blackbirds everywhere. King Cole is very pleased. Then he greets Huckle again and asks him if he's found his friend Lowly. Huckle says no. But he tells King Cole that he looked everywhere and asked everybody in Mother Goose Land, and nobody can help him. King Cole asks Huckle if he has asked Mother Goose. If anyone can help him, it's Mother Goose herself. She knows everything that goes on in Mother Goose Land. Huckle asks King Cole how he will find her. King Cole tells Huckle to come with him and they go outside the castle.

She comes out of the sky after Emperor Huckle and King Cole called Mother Goose her by saying the magic words: "Higgledy Piggledy, pudding and pie! Come, Mother Goose, from out of the sky!" and she greets to Huckle. She asks Huckle he called her. Huckle guesses he did. He asks Mother Goose to help him find his friend Lowly Worm. She agrees. They'll look for him together. Emperor Huckle climbs onto her back, she carries him to the sky for home, and King Cole waves and says good-bye to Huckle and he shouts goodbye back. All on his way home, they see the cow who jumped over the moon (Mother Goose thinks that was the highest jump yet), Wee Willie Winkie who checks all the children are in bed, but he should be in bed too, Little Boy Blue who finally woke up blowing his horn though he should be sleeping now, the Three Little Kittens who lost their mittens again, but Mother Goose is sure they will find them, and Mary's little lamb fast asleep. But Emperor Huckle asks Mother Goose where Lowly is. Mother Goose looks down and shouts, "There he is! There's Lowly!". But when Huckle wakes up from his dream, he sees Mother Cat who answers him Lowly's right here and they have found him because he's been in the house all along. Huckle thanks her.

When Lowly Worm who arrives home from the kitchen at King Cole's castle in Mother Goose Land to Huckle Cat's bedroom at his house in Busytown, Father Cat tells Huckle he's been making him a surprise pie. Huckle is so glad and thanks Lowly. Lowly dusts off the flour while he gives it to Mother Cat. Then she puts the surprise pie here in the window tonight, and the family will all have a piece tomorrow. Then Father Cat kisses Huckle goodnight and tucks him in his bed. Then Mother Cat tucks Lowly in his bed too and takes his hat off. Then she sings a lullaby (Sleep, Baby, Sleep) as Huckle and Lowly go to sleep. Father Cat joins in too.

During the last four lines of the lullaby, we pan to the left to the bedroom window with the surprise pie and fade to the outside of the bedroom window of Huckle's house as the blackbirds fly out of the pie. After that, we fade to the entire Busytown at night seen on birds-eye view to the stars in the sky. Then, they form into words "THE END".

This title of the video is based on and named after the book, Richard Scarry's Best Mother Goose Ever.
In the dream sequence, Huckle Cat is the emperor of Mother Goose Land, but not in Busytown.
In the dream sequence, Lily Bunny is the empress of Mother Goose Land, but not in Busytown.
This is the only time where we see Huckle wearing his pajamas in the beginning and the ending of the video.
This title of the video is not entitled as, Lowly Is Missing (the parody of The Software Toolworks/Nintendo game, Mario Is Missing), Lowly on the Loose, Where, Oh, Where Has Lowly Worm Gone? or Where in Mother Goose Land is Lowly Worm? (the parody of Carmen Sandiego series).
This video is a parody of Mario Is Missing, Kidsongs: Good Night, Sleep Tight and Wee Sing King Cole's Party.
After Miss Honey tells Mary Fox to take her lamb, Fluffy, home again, she sadly responds "Yes, ma'am", like in the Peanuts comic strips by Charles M. Schulz.
According to Little Miss Muffet (Hilda Hippo), she has arachnophobia which means fear of spiders.
After Miss Honey tells Huckle Cat to go and ask Old Mother Hubbard who lives just down the road, he says the "Okay. Goodbye!" line from the Broderbund's Living Books series, which is said when the user clicks "yes" to quit the game.
After Huckle and Bo Peep bump into each other again, she quotes the title of the Stanley Clarke's song, "Oh, Hello Again". So does Old King Cole before he asks Huckle if he has found his friend yet.
It's unknown why Mary said goodbye to Huckle together with Miss Honey since Huckle didn't ask Mary where Lowly is.
The dish's voice sounds like Eubie (voiced by Rob Paulsen) from the 2005 IDT Entertainment movie, The Happy Elf.
Old King Cole's voice sounds like Simon/Peter, the rich/foolish man, the innkeeper or others from the future video series, Cherub Wings.
Huckle Cat's voice sounds like a big brother.
Mother Goose's voice sounds like Jeanne Cairns.
This is also the episode of the series, where the plot does not takes place in Busytown in most of the episode.
This is also the only episode of the series, where the plot takes place at night in Busytown, especially from sunset till nightfall in Mother Goose Land.
The background music in this video is very similar to the Nick Jr. TV series Little Bear.
Even though the female child voice sings "The cow jumped over the moon", the moon doesn't show up during the "Hey Diddle Diddle" segment and doesn't appear towards the end of the video either when Huckle Cat and Mother Goose are flying home to Busytown while they're looking for Lowly Worm.
After Hickory Dickory Dock, the closed captions shows "Whew!" when Mary Mouse says "Ew!".
This video marks the officially very last for several things:
- This is the officially very last episode that this video has been produced by Jumbo Pictures.
- This is the officially very last video Huckle's voice is high and excited when he says "Yes! Yes! Yes, yes, that's Lowly!" and "This isn't the way out." But his voice is normal.
- This is the officially very last sing-along video.
- This is the officially very last video Huckle says "My name is Huckle".
- This is the officially very last video Huckle asks "Where's Lowly?".
- This is the officially very last time there is a song in the beginning of this video.
- This is the officially very last time there is a song in the ending of this video.
- This also marks the officially very last episode where Huckle Cat, Mother Cat, Father Cat, Lowly Worm, Dennis Elephant, Patty Elephant, Hilda Hippo, Lily Bunny, Freddie Fox, Larry Lion, Rhonda Raccoon and Miss Honey make these appearances in this video.
Humpty Dumpty is referenced by the spider who frightened Little Miss Muffet, but the rhyme is absent in this video.
"Higgledy, Piggledy, Pudding and Pie! Come, Mother Goose, From Out of the Sky!" is not the song or the Mother Goose nursery rhyme. They are the magic words.
Speaking of which, the "Higgledy, Piggledy" might have come from the rhyme, "Hickety Pickety, My Black Hen," and the "Pudding and Pie" part might have come from "Georgie Porgie," neither of which was included in this video.

Reception and Aftermath[]

Although reviews to the video were generally positive and its sales were overall decent, "Best Mother Goose Sing-Along Video Ever!" would sadly however be the very last video of the short-lived "Richard Scarry's Best Videos Ever!" series. This video is even often dubbed as "The Final nail in the Coffin" for the short-lived video series.

It's never been confirmed of why the "Best Videos Ever!" series came to an abrupt end, but possibly because of the death of Richard Scarry on April 30th earlier that year (especially as in this video and Richard Scarry's Best Silly Stories and Songs Video Ever!, there is a dedication text that reads "In Warm Memory of Richard Scarry 1919-1994", confirming that he did in fact die before the last two videos were released), and also because of another Richard Scarry-based project that was premiering at the same time, A TV series produced by Cinar Animation (Later Known as "Cookie Jar Group") titled "The Busy World of Richard Scarry" was taking television by storm, thus eclipsing the popularity of the "Richard Scarry's Best Videos Ever!" series, or/and that Jim Jinkins himself, who had overseen all for the later videos of said series was more or less busy solely focusing on his own most-famous series, Doug.

Huckle Cat: Okay, goodbye.
Mary Fox and Miss Honey: Goodbye! Bye!

(Fluffy bleats)

Huckle Cat: Lowly, Lowly, Lowly, where are you?

Old Mother Hubbard: Look, Gerald! There's a big sale on bones!

(Old Mother Hubbard hears a knock at the door and opens it, revealing Emperor Huckle)

Old Mother Hubbard: Yes?
Huckle Cat: Hello.
Old Mother Hubbard: Who are you?
Huckle Cat: My name is Huckle. I'm the Emperor of Mother Goose Land. And I was just wondering if you might have seen my friend, Lowly Worm.
Old Mother Hubbard: Lowly Worm... Lowly Worm... what does he look like?
Huckle Cat: Well, he still kind of always looks like... like Lowly Worm, I guess.
Old Mother Hubbard: Let's see. I didn't see him at the grocer's or the cobbler's. No, I guess I didn't see him. Sorry. I'd help you look for him, but I have to go down to the butcher's shop because they're having a big sale on bones. Goodbye!
Huckle Cat: Oh well, I guess I'll have to keep looking.

Little Bo Peep: Have you seen my sheep? I seem to have lost them, and I don't know where to find them.
Huckle Cat: I've lost my friend, Lowly. And I don't know where to find him, either.
Little Bo Peep: Maybe they're behind that bush.

(Huckle and Bo Peep looks in the bush)

Huckle Cat: I guess not.
Little Bo Peep: Sheep! Oh, sheepies, where are you?
Huckle Cat: Lowly! Where are you?!
Little Bo Peep: Well, they're not here. Maybe they're over in that field. I'll go look there. Why don't you go look up the road?
Huckle Cat: Okay. I hope you find your sheep.
Little Bo Peep: I hope you find your friend! Come home, you naughty little sheep!

D.W. Dog: That cow can jump!

The spider: I don't know why Miss Muffet has a problem with me, I'm really a very nice fellow.
Huckle Cat: I'm sure you are.
The spider: You look lost, my young boy. Can I help you?
Huckle Cat: I'm looking for my friend, Lowly Worm. Have you seen him go past here?
The spider: No. But I did see all the king's horses and all the king's men run by. I guess Humpty Dumpty must have fallen off the wall again and they can't put him back together.
Huckle Cat: Thanks anyway. Bye.
The spider: Ta-ta!

Huckle Cat: Lowly, Lowly, where are you? Gee, it's getting late. There must've someone who knows where Lowly is in that house.

Kathy Cat: Have you seen our mittens?
Quincy Cat: We've lost them!

Quincy Cat: We're not very good at finding things.
Abby Cat: All we do is lose things.
Huckle Cat: Are those your mittens over there?
Kathy Cat: Oh, look! You found our mittens.
Three Little Kittens: (cheering) You found our mittens! Our mittens!
Kathy and Abby Cat: Thank you, Emperor Huckle.
Huckle Cat: You're welcome.

Mother Kitten: Thank you for helping them find their mittens. Would you like a piece of pie?
Huckle Cat: No thanks. What I would like is to find my friend, Lowly Worm. Have you seen him?
Mother Kitten: Lowly Worm? No, I can't say I haven't met anyone by that name. Why don't you go down to the farm and talk to Little Boy Blue? You'll find him over there by that haystack. Perhaps he's seen your friend.
Huckle Cat: All right. I'll ask him, but I have to go. Bye.
Abby Cat: Goodbye!
Kathy Cat: Goodbye!
Three Little Kittens: Bye, Huckle.
Mother Kitten: Now we'll have some pie. Someone get the plates and forks.

Little Bo Peep: Oh! Hello again. I guess you haven't found your friend yet.
Huckle Cat: No. And you haven't found your sheep either I see. I was just going over to the farm to ask Little Boy Blue if he's seen Lowly. Maybe you could ask him about your sheep.

Little Bo Peep: My sheep! Where have you been? I was so worried about you!
Little Bo Peep: Shhh! You can't just run off like that! You have tell me where you're going!
Huckle Cat: It looks like I'll never find Lowly.

Old Woman: Here's some soup, Bonnie.
Betsy: I'm not Bonnie. I'm Betsy.
Old Woman: Sorry, honey.
Old Woman: Off to bed, dear!
Huckle Cat: Uh, I'm not one of your children.
Old Woman: Why. So you're not.
Huckle Cat: My name is Huckle. And I'm looking for my friend, Lowly Worm. Have you seen him?
Old Woman: Hmm... Lowly... Lowly... Is he one of my children?
Huckle Cat: No, I don't think so. He's a worm.
Old Woman: Then I definitely haven't seen him. Hmm... Maybe you should go to the town square, and ask Wee Willie Winkie. He knows where everybody is.
Huckle Cat: Thank you. Goodbye.

Huckle Cat: Excuse me, have you–?
Wee Willie Winkie: Sorry. I can't stop the talk. I have to make sure all the children are in bed. Come to think of it, why aren't you in bed?
Huckle Cat: I was in bed. But now I'm looking for my friend Lowly. He's lost.
Wee Willie Winkie: That's too bad. I'd like to help you look for him, but I haven't finished my job here. Sorry, I've got to go. Goodbye. Lights out! It's 8 o'clock! Time for bed!

Huckle Cat: That was fun!
Old King Cole: Of course it was fun! That's what we do in my castle! We have fun! Ho ho ho! Would you like to play hide and seek?
Huckle Cat: I'd love to, but I need to find my friend, Lowly Worm. Have you seen him?
Old King Cole: Is that the fellow who's very long and thin?
Huckle Cat: Yes!
Old King Cole: And wears a green hat?
Huckle Cat: Yes!!
Old King Cole: And one shoe?
Huckle Cat: Yes, yes, that's Lowly!!!
Old King Cole: I haven't seen him. But if I do see him, I'll tell him you're looking for him!
Huckle Cat: Well... goodbye.
Old King Cole: But, we haven't had our pie yet! Can't you stay for a piece of pie?
Huckle Cat: I'd like to, but I really have to find Lowly.

Huckle Cat: Oops! This isn't the way out!
Baker Fox: Come in, come in! You're just in time! You can help me take the pie in to the king!
Baker Fox: Get back in there, you. You're supposed to be a surprise!

Old King Cole: Oh, hello again! Have you found your friend yet?
Huckle Cat: No. I've looked everywhere and I've asked everyone in Mother Goose Land, and nobody can help me.
Old King Cole: Have you asked Mother Goose? If anyone can help you, it's Mother Goose herself!
Huckle Cat: Really?
Old King Cole: Definitely! She knows everything that goes on in Mother Goose Land!
Huckle Cat: How will I find her?
Old King Cole: Come with me!

Old King Cole: Whenever you need Mother Goose, all you have to do is call her by saying the magic words! Now repeat after me. Higgledy piggledy, pudding and pie...
Huckle Cat: Higgledy piggledy, pudding and pie...
Old King Cole: Come, Mother Goose, come out of the sky!
Huckle Cat: Come, Mother Goose, from out of the sky!
Mother Goose: Hello, sonny! You called me?
Huckle Cat: Yes. I guess I did. Can you help me find my friend Lowly Worm?
Mother Goose: Of course, dear! We'll look for him together. But first, I'm going to take you home. Your mommy and daddy will be worried about you. Hop right on. Hold on tight!
Old King Cole: Goodbye!
Huckle Cat: Goodbye, Old King Cole!

Huckle Cat: Wow! It's the cow who jumped over the moon!
Mother Goose: My, my! That was a highest jump yet!
Huckle Cat: Look, there's Wee Willie Winkie!
Mother Goose: All the children are in bed. Willie should be in bed, too!
Huckle Cat: And there's Little Boy Blue! He finally woke up.
Mother Goose: Now is the time he should be sleeping!
Huckle Cat: Look! The Three Little Kittens! Oh, no. They've lost their mittens again.
Mother Goose: I'm sure they'll find them! They always do! And there's Mary's little lamb, fast asleep.
Huckle Cat: But where is Lowly?
Mother Goose: There he is, there's Lowly!
Huckle Cat: Where is he? Where's Lowly? Where's Lowly? Where's Lowly?
Mother Cat: He's right here, Huckle. We found him. He's been in the house all along.
Huckle Cat: Thanks, Mother Goose. I mean Mom.

Father Cat: Lowly has been making you a surprise pie.
Huckle Cat: Wow! Thanks, Lowly.

(Lowly Worm dusts off the flour and gives a surprise pie to Mother Cat; while she puts the surprise pie on the window, she says...)
