Operation 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

# Until you hear that hullabaloo

# Everybody's busy selling

-# I wanna buy me something 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

-Me too

# I love to skip in Riverseafingal

# Riverseafingal, by the sea... #

Seven o'clock.

# Come on and get on down to the city

-# Where the ferryboat sails are blue

-Sails are blue

# Time to call on Granny Murray

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

Me too!

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 is home to... #

Who's here today? Well...

we've got Gary and we've got Rachel.

Don't just sit there, poppets, let's have some fun. Oh!

-What animal's this, guys?

-A lion.

A lion, good girl. What should we put on the lion? What material?

What material for the dog? That's the way.

Do you think that looks a bit like Sampson?

-Of course...

-Or...

Roarrr! Is that a good one? Roarrr!

Well, we've got Gary and we've got Rachel,

but someone's missing from home today. Aha!

Not any more! Who's that?

It's Sampson with Dr Juno.

Hello, there!

Dr Juno and my Sampson. Come on, then.

Clever boy.

Come and say hello to Sampson.

-Sampson, look who's come to say hello.

-That's it - nice and gentle.

He loves coming here, Granny Murray.

We love having him. I think that's enough patting.

-To your basket, Sampson.

-Woof!

-Good boy.

Sampson looks lovely and cuddly.

Why don't you guys dress Claude up to look lovely and cuddly and soft?

I feel like cuddling up into one of those armchairs. Come on!

Oh, I love beautiful fabrics and things that feel soft!

Oh, me too, Granny Murray!

But Sampson doesn't. He likes this old cotton rag.

Well, I suppose we all have something that gives us comfort.

I don't suppose dogs are any different.

Sampson's rag's dirty. I'd like to wash it.

The trouble is, I know he likes its smell.

We're washing dolls' clothes later today.

-Maybe I could wash Sampson's rag for you.

-That would be SO kind.

But maybe Sampson won't like his rag if it was clean.

Don't worry, it'll be fine.

Dirty or clean, some things are good to comfort us.

Oh, look at Claude! He looks cosy enough for a hug, right now!

-Well done, cutey pies.

-Oh!

Here...Dr Juno, you take this to work with you.

-It'll remind you of Sampson.

-Thank you, Granny Murray, it's so sweet.

-I'll just put it in my pocket. Bye, Sampson.

-Woof!

Bye, everyone. See you later.

Just remember, dirty or clean, some things are good for comfort.

Thank you, Granny Murray. See you later.

-Bye, darlin'. I'll be thinking of you.

-Me too!

You keep an eye on Dr Juno and make sure she goes the right way to work.

I'm in a hurry. How can I get to work quickly?

-BONG!

-Thank you.

# I'm in, I'm in, I'm in a hurry

# I really, really need to speed to work

# I take a, take a ticket on the tramway

# I'll be, be, be, be, be, be be there quite quick

# Hurry, hurry hurry on the tramlines

# Clatter, clatter, clatter at the points

# Whining, whining, whining drives the speed up

# Squeaking, squeaking, squeaking slows us down

# Clatter, clatter, clatter through the streets

# Squeaking to a stop

# I'm in, I'm in, I'm in I'm in a hurry

# I really, really need to speed to work. #

Oh, hurry, hurry, hurry!

Hurry, I need to get changed!

All scrubbed and ready to go!

Oh! This is the little dog Granny Murray gave me.

He's so soft - just like my Sampson.

-Ahem!

-Oh! Good morning, Nurse Hendry!

-Morning, Dr Juno.

I should've knocked. Don't be embarrassed - it's a lovely dog.

-It is, isn't it?

-Here...look at this.

I've had this since I was a kid. I still carry it with me now.

I've played with it so much it's gone bald!

Oh! He's obviously very well-loved. He's cute!

-Oh! There's a panda in the waiting room.

-Good morning, Doctor.

He's talking to me. Hmm.

Got you, Dr Juno!

Mickey John! I should've known it was you playing tricks.

The panda's a prize in the Friends of Harlequin Hospital raffle.

-He's gorgeous!

-Yes, and so cuddly.

I'll take two tickets, please. One for me, one for Sampson.

One...two.

-£2, please.

-OK.

Here you go.

Aw! He's so nice to pat - just like my Sampson.

# I love to skip in Riverseafingal Riverseafingal by the sea

# I love to skip in Riverseafingal Riverseafingal, that's for me... #

Fetch! Good boy!

Let me see a nice throw, Rachel. Oh! Good throw!

Ready...ready! Fetch! Fetch!

-Good boy! Come on, fetch!

-Woof!

-Come on!

You're a good boy.

Look at this - it's filthy!

What's Dr Juno gonna say? What's she gonna say? Fetch!

Woof! Woof!

Dr Juno, there's a boy in the examination room you should look at.

-Thank you, I'll come right away. What's his name?

-Dylan.

-OK.

Hello, Dylan, I'm Dr Juno. Who's this?

-Ted.

-Hello, Mr Ted. He looks really cuddly, doesn't he?

-I'm sorry to hear you're not well. What's the trouble?

-It's sore here.

Oh, right there! Aw!

Let's have a look. You just lie down for me.

There we go.

I'm gonna have a quick feel of your tummy. OK?

-Ow!

-Ooh!

-Let me know if it's sore when I take my hand away.

-Ow!

-Oh, I'm sorry.

-Cough for me. Good boy! Does it hurt when you cough?

-Yeah.

Right, let's have a look at Mr Teddy.

Nurse Hendry will take your temperature, all right?

-Let's see... Oh! Oh!

-Just put this here...

-BEEP!

-OK.

-Teddy's a little hot.

-So is Dylan. He's got a fever.

-Oh, dear!

Right, Dylan, Nurse Hendry will make sure you're really comfortable.

-I'm gonna have a word with Daddy. ..Hi, Daddy.

-Hi.

-Dylan's gonna need an appendix operation today.

-OK.

Hey, Dylan!

You're gonna need an operation to make your tummy feel all better.

You'll spend a few days with us in the hospital.

Nurse Hendry'll take you to the children's ward.

-There's loads of fun up there.

-Can my daddy come with me?

Yeah, of course your daddy can come!

Dr Marshall will make sure you get there safely.

-All right? I'll see you later.

-Right, Dylan.

Here we go.

Let's go.

Bye! I'll pop in and see you later. Take care.

Right, now down to some hard work.

# It's so exciting in the hospital

# It's where the people who are ill get well

# Machines are buzzing to give us a thrill

# I'm rushing here and there to be here

# I'm rushing here and there to be here

# It's so exciting in the hospital

# Trolleys guiding patients through the corridors

# Flashing blue lights right up to the door

# I'm rushing here and there to be here

# I'm rushing here and there Whoa, yeah

# I'll be there to comfort you at all times

# I'll be there to see all is fine

# I'll be there whenever I'm needed here

# To hear the heartbeat beating in time

# Don't worry, I'll always be kind

# I'll bring a smile and take away your worries, yeah

# Nurses and doctors you must understand

# We are there to hold a hand

# We are there to take your cares away

# It's so exciting in the hospital

# Rushing here and there to be here

# Rushing here and there to be here. #

Hello, Nurse Hendry, what a busy morning!

-How's young Dylan?

-He's all tucked up in bed on the ward.

-And you were right - it's his appendix.

-Oh, poor boy!

He'll be fine, Dr Juno. He's all sleepy waiting for his operation.

-It's good you spotted what's wrong with him.

-Thanks. Just doing my job.

Dylan's dad's with him. When he wakes up he'll be with someone he loves.

-Oh, that's good - that's the best comfort of all.

-Exactly.

I know that being with Sampson always comforts me.

Oh! Busy in here today, aren't we? These dolls' clothes are filthy.

Swish it round and round.

Really scrub it - get those bubbles in.

Pass it onto Rachel...

That's the way.

That's Sampson's rag. Ugh! Give it a good old scrub, Gary.

Rub-a-dub-dub! Rub-a-dub-dub! You grab your basket.

My wee helpers.

-Who's going to put this one out here?

-Me!

-Me!

Oh-ho! They'll dry in no time - it's a beautiful day, isn't it?

Where's your bag, darlin'? That's a boy.

Don't worry, Sampson, it'll be dry before you know it.

Woof!

Woof! Woof!

These files are heavy, Dr Juno. You must have left them upstairs.

Let me give you a hand, Nurse Hendry.

I'm sorry I left them behind. I've been all over the place today.

I really should be a bit more careful.

-No worries, I'm just off on my break now. See you later.

-Bye-bye.

More files! Let's have a look. How many do we have?

One, two, three... Oh! What's in here?

It's very bumpy and lumpy.

Oh!

It's a teddy! What are you doing in there?

You're a bit grubby. I'm not sure you can stay in our clean hospital.

Mmm. Wait a minute...

I'm sure I've seen you somewhere before.

I know you're a bit grubby but...

I'm sure you're very important. Hmm.

Where have I seen you during my busy day?

And when was it?

Where did the time go?

At seven o'clock, I took Sampson round to Granny Murray's.

The children were sticking fabrics on to animal shapes.

Then they dressed Claude up in cuddly clothes.

I showed Granny Murray Sampson's dirty rag

and she offered to wash it for me.

At eight o'clock, I went to work at the hospital.

At nine o'clock there was a patient waiting. His name was Dylan

and he'd brought his teddy, Mr Ted, along to comfort him.

He'd had a bad tummyache and he'd also been feeling sick.

I thought he needed an operation to have his appendix out.

I sent him upstairs to Dr Marshall to make sure.

Nurse Hendry took Dylan to the ward to get him ready for his operation.

At three o'clock, Nurse Hendry brought in some files I'd forgotten.

When I looked through them, I found a grubby bear

I couldn't think where I'd seen him before, but knew he was important.

Now remember, dirty or clean, some things are good for comfort.

I know who you are. You're Dylan's bear - Mr Ted!

Oh, Dylan's gonna wake up from his operation soon

and he's gonna want you there, Mr Ted.

But you're a bit grubby for me to take you up to the children's ward.

I'll have to clean you up myself, and before Dylan wakes up.

It's a race against time!

BONG!

# 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

# Tick-tock, tick-tock

-# Tick-tock

Hey, look who's come to see you, Dylan!

-Mr Ted!

-Yeah!

How are you feeling?

-Em...much more better.

-Good. I'm glad you're on the mend.

-See ya. Bye.

-Bye.

Oh, another bear in my office!

-And a friendly one too.

-AS BEAR: This is my new home.

What do you mean, Mr Panda?

Congratulations! You won this panda in the raffle, Dr Juno.

Oh, Mickey John, he's beautiful!

Hello, Mr Panda.

Oh, but I think he should go to a child.

I'd like to give him to your Rebecca.

Dr Juno, how kind! Thank you so much.

-Rebecca will love cuddling this panda.

-Aw! See you, Mickey John.

After all, I've got my own cuddly friend...Sampson.

I think our dolls' clothes are dry now, darlings. That's the way.

Pop them in the basket. Clever girl.

That's Sampson's rag, isn't it? Smell, Rachel. Nice and clean.

That's much better, Sampson. Dr Juno will be pleased with us.

Dr Juno, come away through. In you come.

Come and see who's here, Sampson.

-Hello, Sampson.

-Woof!

Good boy. Look at that wagging tail!

Oh, he was fabulous!

Sampson would like to say thank you, Granny Murray.

Thank you from me too. I remembered what you said.

Dirty or clean, some things are good to comfort us. It saved the day.

Gracious!

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

-Come on, boy.

-Bye-bye, my darlings, I'm looking forward to next time.

-Me too!

Come on, Sampson, let's chat about our time away.

And I suppose you'll want to know all about my time too!

# Well, there was playing, climbing, jumping, chasing

# Painting, laughing, moving, singing, swinging, hiding

# Jumping up and turning round

# Dressing up and sitting down! #

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

Claude was dressed in cuddly clothes

because we were making soft toy animals with fabric and card.

Dr Juno arrived with Sampson

and his favourite rag, but it was very dirty.

So in the afternoon, we washed it through in warm, soapy water.

The children pegged the dolls' clothes on the line

and pegged Sampson's rag on the line too.

Dr Juno was also washing at the hospital.

She was washing Mr Ted for Dylan who had to have an operation.

Mr Ted really cheered Dylan up.

I hope you enjoyed yourself. Me too!

Bye-bye, honey pie!
