I let the kids watch Bob the Builder today. Afterward, I heard Aleph singing the theme song.

Of course, in Aleph's version, it goes like this:

ALEPH: I want two halfs of bagel. I'll save one of them for you, Bet.

BET: I don't want a half of bagel.

ALEPH: Then I'm gonna eat two of them.

BET: I want one! I want one!

ALEPH: Then I will save one for you.
