The Rattle Me Too!

# Come on and get on down to the city

# Where the trains all clatter through

# Hey! Look at that driver driving

-# I want to ride that train of blue

-Me too

# I'm looking way up high to the windows

# Take a peek for an inside view

# All these people busy working

# I want to see what they all do

# Come on, let's weave around the market

# Do you hear the hullabaloo?

# Everybody's busy selling

-# I wanna buy myself a new...

-Me too

# Look through the arches under the station

# Down where the pigeons perch and coo

# Take a taxi ride to the river

# I wanna drive down the avenue

# Hey, look at those buses gleaming

# They look so clean and spanking new

# All lined up to drive around the city

-# Let me ting that bell

-Ding, ding!

# Going to ride on round to the school stop

# Where the children hurry through

# Sit down, the teacher's teaching

# I'd love to learn a thing or two...

# I love to skip in Riversea Fingal

# Riversea Fingal, by the sea. #

Eight o'clock.

# Come on and get on down to the city

-# Where the ferryboat sails at noon

-Sails at noon

# Time to call on Granny Murray

# She'd love to say hello to you... #

Hello, honey pie, come away in and see who's at home today.

# Granny Murray's house has two at home to play

# Granny Murray's house is home to...? #

Who's here today?

Well, we've got Brandon and Adile.

But don't just sit there. Come on, let's have some fun.

What's on Granny Murray's shelves?

It...rattles.

Whoo-hoo! Make it rattle.

Well, we've got Adile and Brandon.

But someone's missing from home today.

Not any more! Who's coming home to Granny Murray?

Whose legs are those coming down the steps?

Oh, it's Tina. Yes, with Lisa.

Hello, there.

Tina!

And Lisa! Come away through.

Oh!

In you come, angel.

We're having a rattling good time.

I can see that, Granny Murray. Ole!

But now Lisa's here we'll do something new.

Why don't you all dress Claude up as a Spanish dancer?

On you go.

And we can...castanet our way over to the chairs.

-Come on, Tina. Ole!

-Ole!

Oh, I'm so excited, Tina. My friend Juanita's coming over today

-to show the children some Spanish dancing.

-Oh, Juanita.

She is a fantastic dancer. I wish I could be here to join in.

Why don't you stay?

I can't. I have to drive my taxi.

Oh, well, I suppose we all have to work.

Oh, will you look at Claude?! Oh!

What's happened here?

Don't worry, Claude, I'll sort you out. I know how to fix you.

Sometimes you just have to call in the experts.

Oh, good old Granny Murray.

-There you are.

-Lisa, is that for me? Oh, thank you.

Oh. Now I can rattle my way off to work.

Come on, then.

Remember -

when things go wrong, you sometimes have to call in the experts.

-Thank you, Granny Murray. See you.

-We'll be thinking of you.

-Me too.

Now, will you keep a wee eye on Tina,

make sure she gets the right way to work?

# I'm on my way To work today

# Walking my shoes through the city views

# Stepping along and swinging my arms

# Singing my way through the city's charms

# Getting there is just so fine

# I so enjoy my walking time

# I always know the way I go

-# Can you show me the way I go?

-Hey!

-#

OK - which way?

# Do I go that way? Do I go this?

# Which way's a hit? Which way's a miss? #

-Left!

-OK - left! To the garage!

# I'm on my way To work today

# Looking this way and that-a-way... #

Hello, builders!

Hello, hat!

Hello, flowers!

Hello, cat!

Hello, green man!

Hello, flats!

# La la la la La la la la la la la-la la

# Do I go up now? Do I go down?

# Which way's a smile now and which way's a frown? #

-Down!

-OK, down!

# You showed me the way to go

# Thank you - you showed me the way I know. #

Thanks for helping me get to work.

OK, right now it's time to get changed for work.

All dressed and ready to go.

RATTLING

What's that noise?

There must be a carnival parade somewhere.

RATTLING

Groovy music.

I wonder what Lisa's up to right now.

# I love to skip in Riversea Fingal

# Riversea Fingal by the sea

# I love to skip in Riversea Fingal

# Riversea Fingal that's for me. #

Girls, say a big hello to my friend Juanita.

Hello. Buenos dias.

Can you show us some Spanish dancing?

Yeah, of course.

-There you are.

-SPANISH GUITAR MUSIC

Your mum would be so proud if she could see you now.

I bet Lisa's having fun with all that Spanish dancing.

-Hi, Tina. Are you free?

-Oh, Mickey John. Jump in.

Let's ride 'em, cowboy.

RATTLING CONTINUES

TINA HUMS

RATTLING STOPS

-Oh, thanks, Tina.

-No worries, Mickey John.

Oh, maybe you can take your class to the carnival parade.

-Carnival parade?

-Yeah.

-What carnival parade? Bye.

-Bye.

Well, Mickey John was my first fare of the day

but I'm sure there will be lots more.

# City roads are waiting

# The traffic lights are changing

# Police cars are cruising

# Trucks keep a trucking

# The city roads are waiting

# For me to take a drive in my pretty pink taxi. #

Taxi!

# People wave me down in my pretty pink taxi

# Get into the back and just relax for the ride

# Pretty pink taxi She's going for a drive

# Look in the mirror Shift that gear

# My pretty pink taxi takes the strain

# The radio calls up a taxi fare Who am I gonna meet? #

TOOTS HORN

# Looking for a job in my pretty pink taxi

# Visit the city in my pretty pink taxi, yeah

# Ride, ride, ride in my pretty pink taxi

# Ride, ride, ride where you want to go. #

Taxi!

# Cos I need to take a drive in my pretty pink taxi

# People wave me down when they need a ride. #

Oh! I could really do with a cuppa after all that.

Hi, Tina.

Hi, Bobby. Like some tea?

No, thanks. I'm off to collect Kai from nursery.

-But I thought you might like this.

-Oh, an air freshener.

Oh, you sweetie. Thanks. SHE HUMS

A dancing air freshener. The whole city's dancing today.

-Have you heard it?

-No, not really.

No? Why don't I give you a lift and you'll hear it?

RATTLING Listen. It's started already.

RATTLING CONTINUES

-Can you hear the click-clack?

-Um...

-I think you must have a pair of castanets hidden in your handbag.

-No.

-I can't hear castanets, Tina.

-You must be able to, Bobby.

What else could be making that click-clack sound?

RATTLING

Maybe you should get your ears looked at, Tina.

RATTLING CONTINUES

-Give my love to Kai.

-OK. Bye.

Oh, click-click, rattle-rattle.

Oh.

Lisa.

-What's next?

-Castanets.

Oh, yes.

Your thumb.

Juanita.

Ole!

Oh, your mum would love to be doing this.

I love you, Mummy.

Oh!

Dr Juno, may I have the pleasure of the next dance?

-So this is what you get up to all day.

-Only when I'm not busy.

-What can I do for you?

-Can I have a lift to the hospital?

-Hop in.

RATTLING

By the way, Dr Juno,

-you should test Bobby's ears.

-Really? Why?

She was in my taxi and she couldn't hear these brilliant castanets.

-Are you sure?

-Yes. They must be coming from some carnival parade.

I can't see any carnival parade, Tina.

-Maybe you should have YOUR ears tested.

-Me?!

Just because I can hear castanets? Oh, dear.

RATTLING CONTINUES

That'll be £3, please.

Here you are, Tina.

-Can you hear the castanets now?

-Yes.

-The carnival parade must be getting closer.

-Right.

I think I need to give your taxi an examination, Tina.

Let's see what the matter could be.

RATTLING CONTINUES

Ah-hah! The problem's under here.

What? I have castanets beneath my taxi?

No, Tina, you've got a rattling exhaust.

-What?

-I must fly. Thanks for the lift. Bye.

Oh, no! I've still got a full day's work to do

and now my taxi needs repaired.

What am I going to do? Where did the time go?

At eight o'clock, I dropped off Lisa at Granny Murray's

and the children dressed up Claude like a Spanish dancer.

At nine o'clock, I started up my taxi.

It sounded like there was a carnival parade nearby and I jigged around.

At ten o'clock, Mickey John called in for a lift to school.

We drove along to the rhythm of the dance music from the carnival parade.

At 11 o'clock, Bobby called.

I took her for a ride to listen to the castanets

but she couldn't hear them. She said I needed my ears testing.

At 12 o'clock, Dr Juno needed a lift to the hospital.

I could still hear the castanets and I asked her to test my ears.

But Dr Juno examined my taxi and soon found the problem.

The rattling was a broken exhaust pipe.

Remember - when things go wrong,

you sometimes have to call in the experts.

Of course! I have to call in the experts to fix my taxi.

I know just the place to get a brand-new exhaust pipe.

It's a race against time.

# I've got to do it I've got to do it

# I've got to beat the clock before the chime

# I've got to sort it I've got to sort it

# I've got to do the job on time

# Like a busy bee I'm going to beat that bong

# I'm going to finish this job before you finish that so-o-o-ong

# I've got to do it I've got to do it

# I've got to beat the clock before the chime

# I've got to sort it I've got to sort it

# I've got to do the job on time

# Like a busy bee I'm going to beat that bong

# I'm going to finish this job

# Before you finish that so-o-o-ong

# Tick-tock, tick-tock

# Tick-tock, tick-tock

# Tick-tock, tick-tock Tick... #

Quiet as a mouse now.

You know, I quite miss that rattle now it's not there.

COINS RATTLE

But...I can always shake my loose change box...

RATTLING

Lisa would love this.

Conga!

MUSIC PLAYS

Ole!

Lisa, your mum will be here soon.

Tina!

Come away in.

Look who's here.

Hello, Lisa.

Hi.

Hello. Did you have a nice day with Granny Murray?

-You betcha!

-You say thanks to Granny Murray.

-Thank you.

Oh! I remembered what you said.

"When things go wrong you sometimes have to call in the experts."

-It saved the day.

-Oh, is that so? Come on.

Come on, Lisa.

Bye-bye, my darlings. Looking forward to next time.

-Me too.

-Rrr!

-Rrr!

-Come on, Lisa. Shall we talk about our time away?

And I suppose you'll want me to tell you all about MY time too.

# Well, there was...

# Waving, beating hello, greeting

# Dozing, waking Eating, sleeping

# Painting, glueing and wiping round

# Picking up and sitting down. #

But what was really special about today? Well...

Claude was dressed as a Spanish dancer

because today my friend called Juanita

came to do some Spanish dancing.

Juanita looked gorgeous in her flamenco dress.

She gave the children special rattles called maracas to shake.

Then Juanita showed us how to play the castanets.

We put them on our fingers and clicked them together.

They made a rattling noise like the exhaust pipe on Tina's taxi.

Ole!

Do you think I should take along my castanets next time I go to a party?

Me too! Bye-bye, honey pie.
