Popcorn Express 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 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 Riversea Fingal

# Riversea Fingal, by the sea... #

Eight o'clock.

# Riversea Fingal, that's for me

# 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... #

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 house is home to... #

Who's here today?

We've got Adil and Precious.

Don't just sit there, pickles.

Come on, let's have some fun!

Bring them over then.

Look at these!

Write it on the board!

Ta-da!

A cowboy picture! We're gonna make a cinema.

In the cinema I love to sit with a box of popcorn and some juice!

The last time I went to the cinema,

I sat down with a big box of popcorn and juice.

What else do we have here?

Oh, this one's dark.

# Duh-duh-duh, duh-duh-duh, neigh! #

Well, we've got Adil and we've got Precious,

but someone's missing from home today!

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

-Who's that?

-Lisa.

Yes! It's Lisa!

With Raymond.

Hello there!

-Raymond!

-Hi, Granny Murray.

-Oh, and Lisa!

Come away through, honey pie.

Look at all this paper! I don't fancy clearing all that up.

Listen to your dad, Lisa!

He likes making a mess more than he likes tidying it up!

Wait till I show you. We've been making a toy cinema.

Yeah, look at this, Lisa.

Why don't you guys dress Claude up as a film star?

Come on, then.

And we can be shooting stars and scoot over to the chairs. Whoo!

Wheee-whoo!

We're having a special cinema day today.

Lucky you!

I've been given a popcorn-making machine for the buffet car.

-I could have brought popcorn for everyone.

-Oh, what a pity!

Movies go with popcorn like jelly goes with ice-cream!

-It's an old cine-projector!

-Yes.

It belonged to my husband Angus.

It doesn't work any more, but we have fun with it.

This has given me an idea. I'll give the buffet car an old-movie theme.

That's the perfect way to advertise the popcorn machine.

That's a brilliant idea!

I'd better be off and you'd better start clearing up.

I'll turn it into a game. Cleaning up should be entertaining.

Well, shall we?

Oh!

# Heaven, I'm in heaven... #

Thank you, Raymond. Oh, will you look at Claude!

Doesn't he look like a fabulous, glamorous film star?

I'm not sure about this moustache.

It looks like something old movie clown Charlie Chaplin would wear.

That's better!

-Lisa, I'll see you later, my wee star.

-Bye!

Better get off. I don't want to miss the Popcorn Express!

Oh, no. Come on, my darling.

-Now remember, clearing up should be entertaining.

-Thanks, Granny Murray.

You guys have a fun day.

-We'll be thinking of you, darling.

-Me too.

You keep an eye on Raymond, make sure he gets the right way to work.

I'm a bit late for work today.

-Can you tell me a quick way to get there?

-HOOTING

Thanks!

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

# I need, need, need, need, need, need to speed to work

# A ticket, ticket, ticket, ticket on the metro

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

# Hurry, hurry, hurry on the train lines

# Clatter, clatter, clatter at the points

# Whining, whining, whining drives the speed up

# Squeaking, squeaking, squeaking slows us down

# Clatter through the streets, now squeaking, squeaking to our stop!

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

# I really, really need to get to work

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

Hurry, hurry, hurry!

Here! Before I can get down to work, I have to change.

So, busy, busy, busy!

All dressed and ready to go. Ha ha!

WHISTLE BLOWS

Oh, ten o'clock!

And we're off, bang on time.

-Hello!

-Mickey John! Where are you heading off to today?

-Mollymoor!

-Can I interest you in the special to help pass the journey?

-Sure. What is it?

-Listen.

-POPPING

There's a whole lot of popping going on back there.

Popping popcorn. It's a pound for a big carton.

Go on. You talked me into it.

Now all I need is a film to watch while I'm eating it.

If you come back later, you can watch the buffet car.

I'm giving it an old-movie theme.

Old movies! I love 'em! You know my favourite old movie stars?

Laurel and Hardy! Laurel was always messing things up

and then Hardy would twiddle his tie and say,

"That's another nice mess you've gotten me into!"

I'll pop back later and get some more pops and some entertainment. Bye!

You won't recognise the place.

OK, here is a picture of the old movie clown Charlie Chaplin.

And the finishing touch?

Lisa's toy moustache! I wonder how she's getting on at Granny Murray's.

# 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. #

Who knows a funny walk? ..You? Let's see it, then.

Who can do this one?

That IS a funny walk!

Oh, Lisa, that was so good!

You're going to be an entertainer when you grow up.

I want to be with you, Daddy.

Hi, Raymond. Oh, nice picture! Looks a bit like Louie!

Without the moustache.

It's Charlie Chaplin. Where are you heading to?

-Mollymoor. We're performing at the mayor's tea dance!

-Sounds posh!

-It's all hoity-toity.

-POPPING

Oh, just my popcorn popping in my machine. Would you like to buy some?

-Yes, please!

-Coming up!

So, why have you got a picture of Charlie Chaplin?

I'm making an old-movie theme to help sell popcorn.

Old movie music is brilliant!

Especially the stuff they play when they're chasing each other.

# Diddley-diddle-dee, diddley-dee! #

Pity we're getting off at Mollymoor. We could've played some movie tunes.

Why don't we lend you our hats?

They're just like the one Charlie Chaplin's wearing in that picture.

Good thinking!

-Don't you need them?

-Not today. It's all hats off for the mayor.

Well, thank you very much!

We'd better be off.

-See you later. And thanks again for the hats.

-See ya!

-See ya!

And I'd better get on with my work.

-# I love my train

-He loves his train

# Power rushes through the lines Pushes the train to be on time

# Wheels go round and round the track

# Driving our train there and back

# I'm so happy being me

# Doing all the things I love to do

# Chocolate, lemonade or tea

# I'm just very happy serving you

# Oh, I talk, talk, talk all day

# Making special moments on my way

# I'll tell a joke and toast some cheese on toast

# Oh, I walk, walk, walk all day

# Bringing smiles and happiness my way

# Being nice is what I love the most

# Tickets are looking fine Signal go, we'll be on time

# Carriages rolling from behind Go, go, go on the lines

# I'm so happy being me

# Meeting all the people on the train

# Can I help you clear your things?

# If there is a problem, I'll explain

# Oh, I talk, talk, talk all day

# Wheeling trolleys, weaving to the sway

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

# Oh, I walk, walk, walk each way

# Loving all the things I do each day

# Bringing smiles and happiness my way

-# I love my train

-He loves his train... #

Now that's the rush over, I can get back to the movie business.

The movies come to the buffet car, scene one, take one.

Now, you can't make a movie without a camera, so...

Ooh! This'll do.

One here...and the other one here.

And we're rolling!

Give us a smile. The camera loves you, baby!

Ooh!

Hello, Mr Charlie Chaplin, I hope you're having a nice journey.

Might you know how Lisa's getting on?

Oh! Oh! Oh!

Oh!

CHILDREN LAUGH

There's another nice mess you've got me into!

Ah...ooh!

Oh... Girls, what a laugh.

What would Dad say if he could see us now, Lisa?

Wow! This looks magic, Raymond.

It's cine-tastic. Is that camera ready for my close-ups?

-There's something missing though.

-What's that?

-Not for much longer.

-# De-de-de-de... #

-It's a CD of music from silent movies.

Oh... Thanks very much, I'll stick it right on.

-We better leave you to it, don't want to miss our stop.

-Ciao, bella.

Ho ho ho!

This is the stuff. I'm now starting to feel I'm in a real old movie.

-Ah...

-CRUNCHING

What's that noise?

It sounds like crunchy snow.

Oh...

It's popcorn. It's everywhere!

How did this happen?

I've worked hard to give the buffet car an old movie theme

and now it looks like it's been snowing popcorn.

How did I let it get into this nice mess?

Where did the time go?

At 8 o'clock I took Lisa to Granny Murray's.

She was having a cinema day which gave me the idea

of using an old-movie theme to advertise my popcorn maker.

At 9 o'clock, I arrived at work. At 10 o'clock, the train left

and Mickey John was first to try my popcorn.

He really liked it but spilled it all over the place.

At 11 o'clock, Chuck and Louie arrived and lent me their hats.

I sold them two cartons of popcorn.

Most of it ended up on the floor.

At 2 o'clock, the lunchtime rush was over.

By then, I'd sold lots and lots of popcorn

and was ready to start doing up the buffet car.

At 3 o'clock, Louie and Chuck popped back

to lend me a CD of old film music.

It was then that I came out from behind the counter

and I noticed that the buffet car was covered in crunchy popcorn!

Now remember, clearing up should be entertaining.

Remember, clearing up should be entertaining.

So now I'm gonna have to clear up this nice mess...

I should make it entertaining. Ha-ha, 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 gonna beat that bong

# I'm gonna finish this job before I finish this song

# Do we think he's gonna do it?

# Do the job that needs to be done

# Will he know how to fix it?

# Will he finish what he has begun?

# As sure as we're his friends he'll get there in the end

# 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 do the job on time

# Like a busy bee I'm gonna beat that bong

# I'm gonna finish this job before I finish this song... #

All done, and just on time, too. Here comes Mickey John.

Wow! What a transformation.

I love it! As they say in the movies, very clean and tidy, too.

I'll have some more popcorn before I'm able to enjoy it properly.

You aren't gonna do any more clowning while you eat it, are you?

No. I'm gonna save this as a treat for Rebecca.

Oh, there you go.

Bye, or adios, as they say in the cowboy movies. Yee-hah!

Adios, amigo.

I wonder if Lisa's had as much fun as I had today.

I'm sure Granny Murray kept her entertained.

OLD MOVIE PIANO MUSIC

What would your dad say if he could see you now, Lisa?

'I'm thinking of you, Daddy.'

-Hello, Raymond.

-Hiya, Granny Murray.

-Look who's here!

Have you had a good day with Granny Murray?

-Oh, we've had a fab day.

-Are you gonna say thank you

-to Granny Murray?

-Thank you.

-She's been the best girl, haven't you?

And it's a big thank-you from me too.

I remembered what you said -

"Clearing up should be entertaining." It saved the day.

Well, I never did. Come on, you two, you'll want to be off home.

Bye, I'm looking forward to next time.

Me too. Come on, Lisa, let's chat about our time alone.

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

# Well, there was waving, greeting Hello, meeting, bye-bye, closing

# Waking, dozing, eating, sleeping, fetching

# Sketching, gluing, chewing, jumping up and turning around

# Dressing up and sitting down! #

But what was really special about today?

Well, Claude was dressed as an old-time movie star

because that's what today was all about.

We got off to a great start

when Raymond and I danced around like a couple of movie stars.

We dressed up as Laurel and Hardy

and put on a funny old movie show for the children.

It was such a laugh.

Meanwhile, Raymond created his own entertainment

by pretending to be Charlie Chaplin.

He had a great time clearing up all the spilt popcorn

and made clearing up entertaining.

That's what I call a very entertaining day.

I hope you enjoyed yourself.

Me too! Bye-bye, honey pie.
