The Pet 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 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. #

Six 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... #

Hello, honey pie.

Come away in and see who's at home today.

# Granny Murray's house has two at home today. #

Who's here today? Well, we've got Hope and we've got Molly.

Don't just sit there. Let's get busy.

It's a jungle tree.

One...

two...

three.

Here I come, ready or not.

Oh!

It's a monkey and a lion.

Well, we've got Hope and we've got Molly. But someone's missing.

Oh, not any more.

Who's coming home to Granny Murray?

It's Kai with Bobby.

Bobby!

-Hello.

-And, Kai!

Come away through.

Wow! It's very wild in here today.

Yes, it's full of jungle animals.

Now we'll do something new. Why not dress Claude up as a giraffe?

Little zebra. Off you go, guys.

-And we'll roar ourselves over to the chairs. Rrr!

-Rrr!

Kai would love an animal of his own to take care of.

Although...he sort of has.

Here, this is where he keeps his wriggly bug.

-His wriggly what?

-His woodlouse. Have a look.

Oh!

I don't see anything.

-It's gone.

-It's probably for the best.

You're not really supposed to keep thingamabobs in little boxes.

They're supposed to roam free. Animals know what's best for them.

I suppose you're right, Granny Murray. What will I do about Kai?

-He'll be very upset about Joshua.

-Joshua?

-Yeah, his little bug.

Oh. Don't worry. I'll try and make Kai feel a bit better about Joshua.

Oh, thanks, Granny Murray.

Oh, well, I must get on.

Come on, then, sweetheart. Oh, will you look at Claude!

Where's Claude? All I can see is a giraffe.

Oh, I don't know. Extraordinary!

I'm going to work now, Kai.

-That's for you.

-Oh!

It's a picture of Joshua. Thanks, Kai. I'll take that to work

and put it on the wall in my bothy.

Good idea.

Give us a hug. I'll see you later.

-Night-night.

-Come on, my darling.

Now, remember - animals usually know what's best for them.

-Thanks, Granny Murray.

-Bye-bye. I'll be thinking of you.

-Me, too.

Now, YOU keep a wee eye on Bobby,

make sure she goes the right way to work.

Oh, I'm a bit late. How can I get to work quickly?

BELL TINKLES Thanks!

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

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

# I take a, take a ticket on a bus

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

# Hurry, hurry, hurry through the bus lanes

# Rolling, rolling, rolling down the road

# Whining, whining, whining drives the speed up

# Squeaking, squeaking, squeaking slows us down

# Rolling, rolling, rolling through the streets

# Squeaking to our stop

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

Hurry, hurry, hurry! But before I do anything,

I need to put on my work clothes.

All dressed and ready to go.

I'm just gonna pop Kai's picture of Joshua the woodlouse...

up there.

Have you got a mo?

Oh, sure, Mickey John.

I know Kai's keen on animals, so I got him a present.

CROAKING

-You haven't got Kai a pet frog, have you?

-Da-dah!

-What's all this about?

-It's a toy frog. I had one when I was a boy.

You don't have to feed them or take them for walks but you can have fun.

-I really had you going there.

-Yes.

Aw, Mickey John, it's very sweet of you, but I've got work to do.

Thanks anyway. Ta-ra.

Sometimes Mickey John's like a little boy who's never grown up.

I wonder how my little boy's getting on.

# I love to skip in Riverseafingal Riverseafingal, by the sea

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

I am a...cow. Where do I live?

-Outside.

-Outside in this big field?

-Yes.

-Yes.

Moo!

What about...the dog? Woof-woof!

-You live in there.

-In the farmer's house. What about...?

Oh, the wily fox?

-In the woods.

-In the woods.

Clever boy.

He's running away.

What about...your friend Joshua?

-Where would your wee woodlouse like to live?

-Outside in the garden.

I think so too. He wouldn't like to be stuck in a wee box, would he?

And you should be in the bathroom washing your hands before supper.

I wonder what Mummy's doing. I bet she's washing a big bus.

I wish I was with you, Mum.

MIAOWING

What's that?

There it is again. Louder this time.

MIAOWING

I'm getting warmer.

Oh, it's kittens.

Oh. Right, OK.

Stay right where you are, kittens.

And I'm going to do something to help you, OK?

Right.

Dr Juno, it's me, Bobby.

Yeah, I'm fine, thanks.

I'm at work. Could you come over, please?

Well, no, it's not an emergency.

Well, actually, it sort of is.

Oh, brilliant. Thank you. See you soon.

Oh!

Kittens!

Right, before Dr Juno gets here, I'd better get on with more work.

# Bobby boogie-woogies as she cleans and mops the buses

# Sponging with her squeedgie Sweeping rubbish with her brushes

# Shining up the headlamps for the night-time show

# Bright and beaming buses

# Bye-bye soon

# Cleaning while you're dreaming

# Making ready while you're in bed

# Gleaming while you're sleeping

# Dawn by dawn

# Lining up all shining

# They'll be leaving for the day ahead

# Ready to dazzle the day away

# Swinging through the city looking pretty and radiant

# The hubcaps gleam The paintwork shines

# A Riversea double-decker looks so fine

# The driver she drives Collecting the fares

# Leaving then arriving She will get you there

# This bus is stopping, dropping picking up and putting down

# This bus is shining It's the talk of the town

# Bobby boogie-woogies Flipping over, flipping under

# Running round and scrubbing up She really is a wonder

# Sticking up the posters as she wobbles on her toes

# Bobby walks the moon walk as she wipes the windows

# Dusting, adding sparkle as she goes

# Polishing the buses

# So they'll all be gleaming for the day ahead. #

-I got here as soon as I could. Are you OK?

-I am so OK. Come and see.

Where did they come from?

I don't know. I just found them here tonight.

The cat's obviously looking for somewhere to live.

-Oh!

-Oh, be careful.

-They might not be socialised.

-What?

If they haven't been around people they won't be very friendly.

-But they look so sweet.

-I know.

The best place for them would be the animal rescue centre.

-They'll find a home for the cat and the kittens.

-Really?

The kittens are ready to leave their mum. Come on.

First, I'll have to get a cat transporter from my friend.

-I'll be back shortly, OK?

-OK.

-See you.

-Ta-ra.

I wish my Kai could have been here tonight to see the cat and kittens.

Oh, Mr Rabbit and doggy.

Who else?

Oh, Mr Ted.

Pop up on the bed. You do love animals, don't you?

Mummy was right.

Hello.

I wish I was with you.

I'm back with pet transport.

I'll use one of the blankets the cat's been lying on to line this.

I'll be with you in a sec.

I'd better tidy this up first.

Right, let's see how Dr Juno's getting on.

Oh, that was easier than I expected.

I'll get a cab to the animal rescue centre. They'll find homes for them,

-people who'll feed them, look after them and play with them.

-Thanks.

See you later. Safe journey.

Oh. Bye-bye, kittens. It was nice seeing you.

And now I'd better get on with my work...

MIAOWING Hello?

Dr Juno, did you come back?

MIAOWING

Hello?

Oh, no! One of the kittens has been left behind. Oh, dear.

I thought I'd got you, your mum and your brothers and sisters sorted out.

Now what do I do? I've got to keep you safe and warm

and make sure you get all the right food but I've also got my work to do.

How did I end up with you?

Where did the time go?

At six o'clock, I took Kai to stay with Granny Murray.

I told Granny Murray about how Kai loved animals.

At seven o'clock, Mickey John called round with a toy frog for Kai.

It was a brilliant present but not a very good pet.

At eight o'clock, I was hard at work when I heard a strange noise.

I followed the noise and found a cat had made her home in the depot

and had brought her kittens with her.

At nine o'clock, Dr Juno arrived to help me work out what to do.

She told me the best place for the cats was the animal rescue centre.

They'll find good homes for them with people who'll take good care of them.

Dr Juno came back with a cat transporter.

She lined it with a blanket that the kittens had been sleeping on

and then took the cats to the rescue centre.

But one little kitten got left behind with no-one to look after it

or take proper care of him.

Now, remember, animals usually know what's best for them.

Animals usually know what's best for them.

Right, little kitten, you seem to know you want to stay with me, so...

we'd better make you a home. Come on, it's a race against time.

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

# I've got to beat that 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 so-o-o-ong

# Do we think she's going to do it?

# Do the job that needs to be done

# Will she know how to fix it?

# Will she finish what she has begun?

# A sure as we are friends she will get there in the end

# Because she knows what she should do

-# I'm gonna do it

-She's gonna do it

# I'm gonna beat that clock before the chime

-# I'm gonna sort it

-She's gonna to sort it

# I'm gonna do the job on time

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

# I'm gonna finish this job Before I finish this so-o-o-ong. #

That's right. You have a nice long sleep

cos you've got an exciting adventure ahead of you tomorrow.

I know another little boy who'll be fast asleep now.

And he'll be so excited to meet you.

I'm thinking of you, Mummy.

Good boy. Oh, look!

Who's coming? It's Mum.

Bobby, hello. Come away in.

-Hello, Kai. How are you?

-Fine.

Look what I've got for you. You'll never guess.

Oh!

It's a gorgeous wee kitten. Bobby, when did you...?

It's been a long night, but I remembered what you said -

-animals know what's best for them.

-Oh, you're not wrong.

-Oh, off you go home with your wee baby kitten.

-Thanks, Granny Murray.

-Look forward to next time.

-Me too.

Right, Kai, let's chat about our time away.

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

# Well, there was...

# Playing, running, creeping, jumping

# Chasing, painting, laughing, baking

# Moving, dressing, singing, swinging

# Rocking, sliding, hunting, hiding

# Jumping up and turning round

# Dressing up and sitting down. #

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

Claude was dressed as a giraffe because we were playing at animals.

Bobby told me all about how Kai loved animals

but his only pet was a woodlouse called Joshua.

But Joshua had escaped.

After Bobby had gone to work, I explained to Kai

that different animals liked to live in different places.

Kai agreed with me the best place for a woodlouse was outside.

Later on that evening, Kai collected all the toy animals in the house

and gave each one a good hug before going to bed.

Kai had a good night's sleep surrounded by all his toy animals.

At work, Bobby found a cat and its kittens.

One of the kittens wanted to stay with Bobby.

Bobby brought it home to Kai because animals know what's best for them.

Did you like the kitten?

Me too!

Bye-bye, honey pie.
