Smiles 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 those 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, toodle-oo

-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.

# Riverseafingal that's for me

# 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 house is home to... #

Who's here today?

Well, we've got Zane and Adil.

Don't just sit there, angels, come on, let's get busy!

Now, have a wee seat by the shelves.

Today, we are going to play the copying game.

OK, ready...

-Ha!

-Ha!

There's all different waves you can do.

You can do the royal wave. Hello.

There's the excited wave.

An excited two-hand wave.

Well done, my darlings!

Well, we've got Adil and we've got Zane.

But someone's missing from home today.

GATE SQUEAKS

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

Who's that?

Oh, it's Bobby with Kai. Hello, there!

Bobby, hello and Kai. Come away in.

We've been doing lots of smiles and waves to each other.

Oh, just like the Queen.

Hey, darlings, why don't we dress Claude up as the Queen?

With a crown and a royal wave and I'll tell you a right royal story.

Oooh!

THE CHILDREN CHAT

-So?

-Well, when I was a little girl...

-Yes?

-..the Queen came to visit Riverseafingal.

-Really? The Queen.

Mm-hm. I waited ages and eventually she came by in an open-top vehicle.

-And I'm sure she smiled at me and waved.

-Oh!

Wow! The Queen smiled and waved at you.

-Granny Murray, that must have been fantastic.

-Oh, it was.

-It really made my day.

-Ta-da!

There's someone at the depot who makes my day by smiling and waving.

Oh, who's that, darling?

Well, I think his name is Peter.

Whenever I'm leaving work, he toots the horn in his bus.

He gives me such a big smile and a wave,

that it makes me want to do somersaults!

-That's lovely.

-I've always wanted to buy him a little something.

To say thank you for brightening up my day. What should I get?

Just a wee thing. After all, it's the thought that counts.

Yeah, you're right. It is.

-Oh, well, I'd best get off.

-Look at Claude, he looks very regal.

Oh, ha, ha!

-You're looking swell, Claude.

-Oh, your majesty.

-Are you gonna say bye-bye to Mummy, darling?

-Bye-bye.

-Aw...

Kai, that's lovely. Whenever I smile and wave I'll think of you.

-I'll see you later.

-Come on.

Remember, it's the thought that counts.

Thanks, Granny Murray. See you later.

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

-Me too.

Now, you keep an eye on Bobby

and make sure she goes the right way to work.

# I'm on my way To work today

# Walking my shoes through the city views

# I'm stepping along I'm swinging my arms

# I'm 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

-# But 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? #

-Right!

-OK - that way! To the bus depot!

# I'm on my way To work today

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

Hello, digger!

Hello, drain!

Hello, lamppost!

Hello, train!

Hello, postbox!

Hello, plane!

# She's on her way to work today

# Looking this way and thattaway Hey!

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

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

-Up!

-OK, that way! Up the steps!

# You told me the way I go

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

Thanks for that. Right, what's first?

That's right, I need to put on my work clothes.

All dressed and ready to go.

Oh, no, I forgot to get Peter's present from the newsagent.

-Hello!

-Hello, Mickey John, what are you up to?

-Hi, Bobby.

-I wanted to ask you a favour.

-Ask away.

-I'm collecting bus tickets for a school project.

-Sounds interesting.

I want the children to think what they can make out of used tickets.

-You'd like me to collect tickets?

-Yes, please.

-No problem.

-I haven't started work yet. Why don't you come back later.

-Thanks, Bobby.

-I'm off to the cinema now.

-What are you going to see?

They're showing Laurel and Hardy films so I'm hoping for a laugh.

-Actually, could you do something for me?

-I certainly could.

I need to get Peter a present. Could you get me something on the way back?

-Happy to. I'd better be going. See you later, Bobby.

-Bye, Mickey John.

Whenever I smile and wave, I think of my Kai.

I wonder what he's getting up to right now.

# I love to skip in Riverseafingal

# Riverseafingal, by the sea

# I love to skip in Riverseafingal

# Riverseafingal, that's for me. #

Kai, we'll sort out all this rubbish and take it to the recycling.

-Now, where's your cardboard?

-Here.

Good boy, can you put that in the blue?

That's a good boy and the newspapers all go in this blue one as well.

Material in the yellow one.

Glass in this middle one.

Oh, look at that, Kai! A smiley face.

Remember what your mum said!

She said every time she smiles and waves, she thinks of you.

-I miss you, Mummy.

There, I can see my face in it now. Well, almost.

-Hi, Bobby.

-Hello, Bobs.

-Hello, you two. How are you doing?

-Fine, thanks.

-I've saved you some boxes, Bobby, from the market.

-Boxes?

-I'll go stack them up for you.

-OK... Come in, Rudi.

-You asked me to call round with some boxes from the stall.

-Oh, yes.

-Rudi, I'm so sorry. I clean forgot.

-Do you still want them?

-Yeah.

When I'm cleaning, I often find lost little things,

that seem a shame to throw away.

They're too small for lost property so I need boxes to store them in.

-It sounds like you've got your own recycling going on.

-That's my plan.

That's a great idea. Shall we go and give Louie a hand?

-Oh, no, what's Louie done?

-Oh, no, Louie's blocked us in with the boxes.

-How are we going to get out?

-There's only one thing for it!

Stand back, Rudi! Here we go.

Ready?

Oo-er! Oh...

Wow, Louie, that is great but I don't think I need quite so many as that.

OK, what exactly are you planning to do with them?

I'll recycle things from the bus that are too small for lost property.

-Great idea.

-It is, isn't it?

I'll take some home and do the same.

I could paint them up and recycle all sorts of things!

Oh, no, look at the time. I'd best get on with some 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 up or flipping under

# Running round and scrubbing up She really is a wonder

# Sticking up the posters as she wobbles on her toes

# Bobby walks a moonwalk as she rubs and wipes the windows

# Dusting through the starlight adding sparkle as she goes

# Polishing the buses

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

Plastic bottle, that'll come in handy.

Time for a break.

Let's see what I've collected to sort out into my recycling boxes.

A plastic bottle, an assortment of buttons, loads of bus tickets.

Those'll come in useful for Mickey John.

A ball of wool, a scrap of fabric...nice colour.

And some phone cards. Not bad for one shift! Oh!

And someone left a bag of shopping that needs to go into lost property.

Aw... This is Kai's favourite cereal.

I wonder what my lovely Kai's up to now?

-Granny Murray, look what I've made, a scary monster.

-So you have.

-That's brilliant.

-Can I take it home to show Mummy?

-Of course you can.

We'll put it up here.

Now, you snuggle into bed, big boy.

That's the way, good boy.

Mr Begby in. Sleep tight, angel.

I wonder if you're in bed yet, Kai?

-Hello!

-Oh, hello, Mickey John. Hey, how was your film?

It was hilarious. Laurel and Hardy had their money stolen.

So they became hopeless bandits.

Then Laurel, or Hardy, did...

"That's another fine mess, you got me into."

-It sounds great.

-It was.

-There's your bus tickets.

-Wow, what a lot!

That's fantastic, thanks, Bobby.

-Mickey John?

-Yes.

-Did you manage to get me a present for Peter?

Oh! I'm sorry, I forgot.

-Oh...never mind.

-"That's another fine mess I got you into!"

Never mind, off you go. Don't forget your bus tickets.

OK, well, if you're sure?

-See you later.

-Bye.

Oh, dear. I did want to get Peter a present before morning but...

it's too late now. All the shops will be shut. Where did the time go?

CLOCK CHIMES

At seven o'clock I took Kai to Granny Murray's.

The children dressed Claude as the Queen.

Granny Murray told me the Queen once waved and smiled at her.

Someone waving and smiling really cheers you up.

I wanted to buy something for Peter because he always cheers me up.

CLOCK CHIMES At eight o'clock,

Mickey John arrived, looking for bus tickets.

I asked him to buy a present for Peter.

CLOCK CHIMES At nine o'clock,

Rudi and Louie brought me boxes to start my recycling project.

We had difficulty getting through the door!

I kept four boxes and took a break at 10 o'clock to see what I'd collected.

CLOCK CHIMES At 11 o'clock,

Mickey John came back and got his bus tickets for the school project.

He'd had a great time but forgot to bring me a present for Peter.

Now it's so late, the shops are shut.

Now, remember, it's the thought that counts.

It's the thought that counts...

I knew all this stuff would come in handy.

I know just what to do. 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 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'll finish this job before I finish this song

# 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?

# As we are friends She'll get there in the end

# Because she knows what she should do and work it through

# I'm gonna do it

# I'm gonna beat the clock before the chime

-# I'm gonna sort it

-She's gonna sort it

# I'm gonna do the job on time

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

# I'm going to finish this job Before I finish this song

Ta-da! Look, it's a smiley, happy man.

Peter will love this when he arrives at work in the morning.

I reckon Kai would love something like this too.

'I'm thinking of you, Mummy.'

-Hi, Pete.

-Hi.

I've made this for you.

It's to say thanks for cheering me up when you smile and wave at me.

Thank you, Bobby, you've really made my day. Wow!

-Bye!

-Bye.

Bobby! Come on.

-Your mum's here, Kai.

-Hiya, Kai.

Aw...

-Are you gonna say thanks to Granny Murray?

-Thanks, Granny Murray.

Clever boy!

And thanks from me too.

I remembered what you said "It's the thought that counts".

-It saved the day.

-It never did!

-Come on, you'd better be off.

-Come on, you.

-Looking forward to next time.

-Me too!

Come on, twinkle, let's talk about our time away.

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

# Well, there was...

# Hugging, squishing, walking, pushing

# Dancing, dusting

# Talking, cooking Drying, cleaning

# Laughing, joking,

# Losing things and wiping round

# Dressing up and sitting down. #

But what was really special about today?

Well, Claude was dressed as the Queen.

He did look grand.

Before bedtime, Kai helped me sort some rubbish into recycling boxes.

Kai made an interesting smiley face to save for Bobby.

While we slept, Bobby was busy making a present for Peter,

out of bits and bobs she'd found on the buses.

We all started our day with a smile.

Peter liked Bobby's present so much it made his day.

I hope you've enjoyed yourself. Me too! Bye-bye, honey pie.
