Microphone Abadas

-Hey, Abadas!

-Hello, Ben!

ALL: Come and play with us.

# And we'll have a Abadaba shoo-bee-dee-wa

# Abadaba, play today

# Abadaba shoo-bee-dee-wa

# Abadaba play today

# Play today. #

What are you waiting for?

I wonder where they're playing today? They're in the garden.

# La, la, la, la, la, la, la

-What are you doing?

-We're making a special song for Hari.

-Why?

-Because he's our best friend.

-Oh, that's nice.

-La, la, la, la, la.

Oh, Hari's coming. Please don't tell him yet! It's a surprise.

-Hiya, Hari.

-What was all that noise?

Erm, we are playing a game.

What kind of game?

We're pretending that we're playing music in a band.

That's fun! Can I play too, please?

-Erm, all right.

-Yeah! La, la, la, la.

That's a good song for our band.

But, erm...

What Ela is saying is we can play another game first.

It's your favourite!

ALL: It's the word game. Come and play with us.

# You opened up a book and found us three

# It's time to play the word game, you and me,

# Listen to the words then spot and see

# Match the words and objects, help us see

# Let's play. #

Ready? I've got a brand new Abada word.

You have to guess what it looks like.

-The word is, microphone.

-Microphone.

-Microphone.

That's a long word! I wonder what it looks like?

Would you like a clue?

ALL: Yes, please!

A microphone makes your voice sound louder.

Wow! Can you hear me?

LAUGHTER

-Can we have another clue please, Ben?

-You can sing into a microphone.

I love singing and dancing.

-Where do you think you'd find a microphone?

-In the garden?

I love singing and dancing there.

You like singing and dancing.

In the mountains? My voice always sounds louder there.

-Try again!

-I know! We keep our music toys in the house.

-Could it be there?

-Well done, Ela.

ALL: Yeah! Go, go, Abadas.

The Abadas think they'll find the microphone in the house

but which Abada would be the best one to find the microphone?

# My name is Seren, I can fly up high

# Past the trees and towards the sky

# I hang topsy-turvy in the night and day

# Fly right down when it's time to play

# My name is Hari I like to swim

# I dive down deep, I see everything

# That lives in the seabed on the shore

# Swimming and playing is what I adore

# My name is Ela with a special nose

# Where it will lead me nobody knows

# I can smell all the things that you can't always see

# I love my nose, it's a part of me.

# Shoo-doo-aba-shoo-ey

# Shoo-doo-aba-shoo-ey

# Shoo-doo-aba-shoo-ey

# Shoo-doo-aba-shoo-ey

Ela, Ela, yes, you love singing and dancing.

# La, la, la, la, la.

LAUGHTER Good choice, Abadas.

Ela, who loves singing, would be the best Abada to find the microphone.

I'm on my way! We-hey!

Sh!

LAUGHTER

You-hoo!

Ah!

Ela, I can see you!

Listen to my voice! It's much louder in here.

# My name is Ela with a special nose. #

You're right, your voice is louder.

When I sing through my paws, my voice sounds louder.

-But they are not a microphone, are they?

-No, of course not!

They're my paws. Paws away!

Wow! What's that?

HARP MUSIC

What a lovely noise!

Hey, the noise is louder this time!

Can you sing into it?

ELA SINGS

No, this can't be the microphone.

You're right, Ela. It's a musical instrument called a harp.

Now, it's time to find the microphone.

Oh!

Oh, no!

What's that? It looks like an ice cream cone.

I wonder if it tastes nice?

Yuk! Yuk! Yuk! Hey, a switch! Am I allowed to switch it on, Ben?

Yes, you are.

Try talking into it.

-LOUDLY:

-Hello!

Oh! Hey, when I talk into this, my voice is louder.

This must be the microphone.

-Aba-doo-be-dee!

-Well done, Ela!

# I found the word, it was there all along

# The word is microphone

# And now that word is in my song

# Ba-bab-shoo-bee-doo-ah! #

Beeb-beeb-beeb-beeb! Can't catch me.

LAUGHTER

Maybe you'll catch me next time. I'm back in the book.

-There you are, Ela.

-What a furrtastic adventure.

-Tell us about it, please.

-I went into the bathroom.

My voice always sounds louder there. Fairy foxtales!

-Then, what happened?

-I saw an instrument called a harp.

You pull the strings and it makes very soft music.

You like soft music, Hari.

I do! Dum-dee-dum-dee-dum!

# La, la, la, la, la, la, la. #

LAUGHTER

But the harp didn't make my voice louder!

BOTH: Oh!

Then, I found a funny looking stick, like an ice cream cornet.

-Did you try to eat it?

-Yes, it tasted yucky!

But then I found a switch, like this one!

ALL: Oh!

And when I switched it on,

it made my voice sound very, very loud!

ALL: It's a microphone.

I think it's time for our surprise.

Oh, yes.

Eh? Where have they gone?

Ladies and gentlemen, please give a warm and cheery welcome

to our favourite band, Serenela!

# Hari, you're a hippo with a belly that's blue

# We love you

# La, la, la, la, la. #

Well done, Ela. You really are amazing Abadas.

It's time to go. We had fun today, didn't we?

ALL: Oh, yes, we did!

# It's time to say goodbye, it was great to play

# Shoo-be-de-waba

# Shoo-be-de-waba

# Come back and see us once again some day

# Abadas

# Abadas

# Some day. #

-Goodbye, Hari.

-Goodbye.

-Goodbye, Seren.

Goodbye!

-Goodbye, Ela!

-Bye-bye! See you soon.

Ben!
