Kilts Away 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 Riverseafingal

# Riverseafingal, 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... #

Who's here today?

Well, we've got Gary and we've got Molly.

Don't just sit there, pickles! Come on! Let's have fun.

Who's that, Molly?

DRUMMING, BELLS

That's the way.

Well, we've got Gary and Molly.

Someone's missing from home today.

Oh, not any more!

Who's coming home to Granny Murray? Who's that?

It's Lisa and Raymond! Hello, there!

Hiya, Granny Murray!

-What a welcome!

-Oh, yes. I'm getting the children in the mood.

We're going to a pipe band festival later. There'll be marching bands

and dancers and pipers and goodness knows what!

I love the pipe band festival.

-Those players dressed in their tartan kilts look so smart.

-Oh, yes.

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

Why don't you dress Claude up as someone from the pipe band festival?

He'll look a treat in a kilt!

-And why don't we march over and sit down?

-Good idea!

Do you ever wear a kilt, Raymond?

Oh, no, never. I don't like to get my knees chilly.

You'd look fabulous in a kilt.

If you do wear one, wear it with a flourish!

-That's what I always say.

-With a flourish?

Yes! You've got to show off a bit when you're wearing a kilt.

-I'd better think about flourishing off to work.

-You'll be busy today,

-with all the visitors coming for the festival.

-I know.

But I've got a surprise for the passengers - a new recipe

-for vanilla custard tarts.

-Oh, now you're talking!

-What's in your custard?

-Oh, sugar, orange zest, and double cream.

-Save one for me, Raymond.

-I will.

-But I must be off or I won't have time make them!

-Look at Claude!

Look at you, Claude! A fine figure of a man.

-Well done, everyone!

-Here you are.

-Oh, thanks, Lisa!

What is that, Granny Murray?

-It's a tam o'shanter, just like Claude's wearing.

-Thank you!

I'll wear that and think of you. Must get to work now.

-Bye.

-Have a good day.

-Come on, then!

Now, remember, wear it with a flourish!

-Thanks, Granny Murray. You guys have a fun day.

-We'll be thinking of you.

Will you keep an eye on Raymond? Make sure he gets 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 left now? Do I go right?

# Which way is wrong now? Which way is right? #

-Left!

-OK - left! To the station!

# I'm on my way To work today

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

Hello, taxi!

Hello, tank!

Hello, trolley!

Hello, plank!

Hello, lorry!

Hello, bank!

HE WHISTLES

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

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

-Up!

-Up!

# You told me the way I go

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

-Hey!

-#

Thanks for that. Now what?

Oh, yeah. I need to get changed for work.

All dressed and ready to go.

-Pop on my festival tam o'shanter...

-Raymond! Are you there?

I'm here. Is that you behind there, Bobby? What's in the bag?

One of your buses?

It's dusters. It's full of dusters.

I went mad in the cash and carry. They were dead cheap.

You can never have too many dusters. Bobby!

-You have too many dusters.

-I know.

I'm taking them down to my mum.

She has the cleanest house in the world.

-I'll take a few packs off your hands.

-Thanks, Raymond! You're a pal.

While I'm here, I'll have a muffin, please.

Oooh! There'll be vanilla custard tarts on the return trip.

-Yummy!

-Yes. I thought I'd do something a bit special,

with so many people coming for the festival.

-Have you ever played the bagpipes?

-Not really.

I normally just pretend, and make bagpipe noses.

I tried it once. It's really hard!

You've got to blow lots of air into the bag,

then squeeze the bag with your elbow to push the air through the pipes

to make them play.

I couldn't get it right either!

And I just kept making a noise like this.

Pttttthhhhhhrrrrrt!

-Oh, dear. I'll never get any work done at this rate.

-Sorry.

I'll leave you to it. I'll come back and see you later.

-And I like your hat.

-Ooh!

I forgot I had this on.

I wonder how my Lisa's day is going.

# I love to skip in Riverseafingal

# Riverseafingal by the sea

# I love to skip in Riverseafingal

# Riverseafingal, that's for me. #

Bye-bye, Lisa! I'll see you soon, Angel.

Bye-bye!

Oh, I wish I could be a fly on the wall to see Lisa at nursery.

HE PIPES

I want to be with you, Daddy.

Let's get on with making these tarts. I've made the custard.

It smells gorgeous, and it's cool enough to use now.

I'll just add a good spoonful of custard to each pastry case.

And then pop them in the oven!

And while I wait for those to bake, I can get on with my work!

-# I love my train

-He loves his train

# The driver rushes through the lights

# It pushes things so far and wide

# The wheels go round and round the track

# To guide the engine there and back

# I'm so glad to just be me

# Doing all the things I love to do

# Coffee, lemonade or tea

# I'm just very happy serving you

# I talk, talk, talk all day Making special moments on my way

# I tell a joke And toast some cheese on toast

# I walk, walk, walk all day Bringing smiles and happiness my way

# Being nice is what I love the most

# Tickets checked and looking fine Signal's on, we'll be on time

# Carriages rolling on behind Following one by one in line

# I feel great to just be me

# Meeting all the people on the train

# Can I help them clear their mess?

# If there is a problem, I'll explain

# I talk, talk, talk all day Trolley's weaving to the sway

# I'll do a trick And make the journey quick

# I'll walk, walk, walk each way Seeing everyone is A-OK

# Bringing smiles and happiness my way

-# He loves his train

-I love my train

-# He loves his train... #

-Oh! 12 o'clock.

We'll be leaving Mollymoor soon. Just time to decorate the buffet car

for all the passengers who are going to the bagpipe festival.

I'll wear my tam o'shanter with a flourish, like Granny Murray said.

Thanks for the laughs, Raymond, and for taking some dusters.

-I hope you find them useful!

-I'm sure I will.

-Bye!

Oh, dear, sorry! Can I squeeze past?

-Hello, Raymond.

-Hi, Mickey John!

-Are we all in, then?

-CHILDREN: Yes!

-Bagpipe festival, here we come!

-Hurray!

-How's it going, Raymond?

-Oh, fine, thanks.

-Are you performing too?

-No, but I'm with the Mollymoor dance troupe,

-and they're on later.

-You'll have a great day.

Yeah. I wouldn't miss it. There's so much to see and do.

-I'll see you later.

-Hmm. It's a shame I can't go to the festival.

I wonder if Lisa and Granny Murray are there.

BAGPIPES

Your dad would love it here, Lisa!

Can you see me?

I hope they're having a good time.

-What's on the menu today, Raymond?

-Well! I've got these special

-vanilla custard tarts.

-Brilliant. Can we have ten?

-Certainly.

Take a seat. I'll bring them over.

They're nice and cool now.

The custard is set and the tarts are perfect for eating.

Another triumph, Raymond.

-So that's 8, 9...

-Raymond!

Can we make that 11 custard tarts?

-It's all over me!

-Oh, I'm sorry.

-Let me help.

-Oh!

-Sorry!

It's OK, Mickey John! Take a seat!

-I'll bring the tarts over in a minute.

-Sorry!

Oh! I'll never get this off.

Oh, dear. I've been slaving away all morning

to make this a really special trip, and now look at me!

I'm a horrible custardy mess!

Where did the time go?

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

'The children were being a marching band

'and Granny Murray said they were going to the bagpipe festival.

'The children dressed Claude in a kilt and he looked magnificent.

'And Lisa gave me a tam o'shanter to wear.

'At nine o'clock, I was at work.

'I'd just got changed when Bobby arrived with enough dusters

'for the whole of Riverseafingal!

'At ten o'clock I was cooking special vanilla and custard tarts

'for the train trip to the festival.

'At twelve o'clock I decorated the buffet car for the festival trip

'before the train left Mollymoor.

'Mickey John ordered ten custard tarts for him and the dancers.

'That's when I got into this mess.'

Now remember, wear it with a flourish!

Hang on!

I think these dusters of Bobby's might come in handy!

Come on, Raymond. The show must go on!

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... #

Here you go! Sorry about the delay.

Hey, Raymond, I never knew you had a kilt!

You know me. Any excuse to dress up.

And I always wear my kilt on special days.

-What tartan is it?

-Oooh, it's...McCustard Tartan.

-It's so cool. I must see if I can get one like that.

-Well,

I wish I could join in at the bagpipe festival.

Why don't we have a mini-festival here? You've got the kilt and hat.

Come on! Let's see what you can do!

STRATHSPEY PLAYS

Oh! That was fun!

There's more custard tarts if anyone fancies them,

but I better save one for a very special person I know.

BAGPIPES PLAY

A wee swirly round. A wee swirly round.

Hand up...round again.

Whoo!

I'm thinking of you, Daddy.

-Hello, Raymond!

-Hiya, Granny Murray.

-Look who's here!

Hi, Lisa! Have you had a good day?

-Oh, we've had a fab day.

-Hi, Daddy.

-Are you going to say thank you to Granny Murray?

-Thank you.

And it's a big thank you from me too, Granny Murray.

I remembered what you said - "Wear it with a flourish!"

-It saved the day.

-Well, I never did!

Come on, you two - you'll want to be off home.

-Bye, darling. I'm looking forward to next time!

-Me too.

Come on, Lisa. Let's talk about our day.

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

# Well, there was...

# Hugging, squishing, rocking, pushing,

# Dancing, dusting, sharing, choosing,

# Moving, dressing, singing, swinging

# Rocking, sliding, hiding, hiding

# Jumping up and turning round

# Dressing up and sitting down. #

But what was really special about today?

Well, Claude was dressed in a kilt,

because of the bagpipe festival.

This morning we played at being a marching band,

and we had instruments.

Then Lisa went to nursery and met a piper

who came to see the children. Then we went to the festival.

We had such a good time there!

And then we came home and did some Scottish dancing.

While we did that, Raymond was doing Scottish dancing on the train.

And he made himself a kilt, too!

And I know what I'm really going to enjoy.

My vanilla and custard tart!

Mmmm!

Buh-bye, honey-pie!
