Signs 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... #

Seven o'clock.

# Riversea Fingal, 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 Hope and we've got Molly.

But don't just sit there, treasures, let's have some fun.

Yes, come on then, let's get busy.

You do that, then.

Ha ha!

Oh, brilliant!

Well, we've got Molly and we've got Hope,

but someone's missing from home today.

Not any more!

Who's coming home to Granny Murray? Oh, it's Jack, with Rudi,

-hello there. Rudi!

-Hi, Granny Murray.

-And Jack.

Well done.

-Now, Jack, we'll do something new.

-What were you doing?

We were making signs to show us our way round the room.

I hope there's some beeping traffic lights to help us across.

Not yet, but hang on.

Why don't you dress Claude up as a beeping traffic light?

Yay!

I think that's a sign for us to take a seat.

Lead the way!

Oh!

Ah... I remember when I worked in Nicholson's department store.

There were signs everywhere. Brilliant for selling everything.

Today, only all stock must go!

When we saw signs like those, we knew we'd have a busy day.

-What signs brought in the most customers?

-That's easy.

All the signs with the word "free" in them worked every time.

I hope I don't have to give my fruit and vegetables for free

-to bring customers flocking to me stall.

-I hope not too.

Remember, signs help to sell things.

I agree and Louie paints most of stall signs

but if I'm gonna be honest about it, my sales patter does the work.

Come on, ladies and gentlemen, give your feet a rest.

Rudi's fruit and vegetables are the best.

That was fantastic, Rudi.

You can't beat a bit of patter.

Me too!

Hey, how's Claude looking?

Like a set of traffic lights!

Come on!

Now will Claude beep when we go over here?

-Beep beep!

-Sounds like those traffic lights are working.

-Great job, Claude.

-Well done, guys.

-What's this?

-A thing for you for your stall.

It says Rudi at work.

Thanks, Jack. I'll put this on the stall as soon as I get to work.

-You have a good day. See you later, guys!

-See you later!

Remember, signs help to sell things.

-Thanks. See you later.

-I'll be thinking of you, darling.

-Me, too.

Now, keep a wee eye on Rudi. Make sure he goes the right way to work.

# I'm on my way to work today

# I'm walking my shoes through the city views

# I'm stepping along and I'm swinging me arms

# And I'm singing my way through the city's charms

# Getting there, it's just so fine

# I so enjoy my walking time

# I always go the way I know

# But can you tell me the way I go? #

OK, which way?

# And do I go left now? Or do I go right?

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

Right!

OK, that way to the market?

# I'm on my way to work today

# I'm going this way and that way... #

Hello, cobbles! Hello, train!

Hello, road works!

Hello, tram!

Hello, sweeper!

Hello, van!

# He's on his way to work today

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

Do I go up now?

Or do I go down?

Which way's a smile now? And which way's a frown?

-Up!

-What? This way?

# You told me the way to go

# Thank you You showed me the way I know! #

We've arrived! Right, down to work, but first, I've gotta get changed.

All dressed and ready to go!

Oh, that'll be the perfect place to put Jack's sign!

Right, what's first? The fruit!

We've got lovely, hard, crunchy apples!

Glorious-smelling oranges!

Lovely ripe...pears... Oh, crumbs! The pears are a little too ripe!

I best lower the price to sell them quickly.

THEY SING

Hi, Rudi!

Hello! You're both a little lively today!

We're getting ready for work on the ferry boat!

- Hi! Have you got any bananas? - Come and do the Conga!

Go on, then.

# Let's all do the Conga We love to do the Conga

# Around the stalls Around the stalls! #

-Anyway, bananas, wasn't it?

-Yes, please.

-Can I interest you in juicy pears?

-No, they look a bit too ripe.

-Only £1 a kilo!

-It says £2 a kilo on the sign.

Oh, I meant to change the sign.

-Change the price on that.

-There you go.

-Cheers.

-Bye!

£1 a kilo!

-We'd best be making tracks, too.

-OK. Bye, Mr Fruity!

Catch you later, Rudi! # Let's all do the Conga... #

Oh, Jack - I wonder how he's getting on at Granny Murray's today.

# 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! #

Oops-a-daisy!

Let's look at these signs.

Do you see that one there - the big rectangular arrow?

That says "one way" and the circle with "20" is no more than 20mph.

Signs tell you things.

Down here is a very, very busy road.

There's lots of signs. Look at that one

That's a triangle and it says "men at work".

Oh, do you know what? That's just like the sign you made your dad!

I'm dreaming of you, Daddy!

-Hi, Rudi!

-Hello, Tina!

-I've got pears that you ordered from the wholesalers.

-Not more pears!

It's quite a load!

He said because you ordered early, you got more for your money!

Before I can sell these, I have to sell those.

-I'll take a melon, please.

-One melon, £1, please.

-How about some lovely juicy pears?

-Not today, thanks. Maybe tomorrow.

I doubt they'll be there tomorrow. Business has been so slow,

-some of the fruit is too ripe and squishy.

-Not nice. Must dash.

-See you later.

-See you later, Tina. Time to get down to some hard work.

# Doo-by dooby doo

# I make it look easy What I dooby do

# And what I do is sell to you and you and you

# All the veggies for a stew

# But it's more than meets the eye

# What I do for you as I buy and buy

# While you still sleep Those fruit and veg to eat

# And the flowers in the early hours

# So when wake-up comes

# It's there for you

# The market stalls are there to view

# Oh, the market! The market! What a wonderful place

# The hubbub of people The smiles on each face

# The market! The market! Come look around

# The hustle, the bustle The bubbles of sound

# The colours all chaotic Are spilling about

# The smells all exotic The market cries out

# Objects to excite you And draw you near

# The buying and the selling Cheap or dear

# The market! The market! I just love to be there

# The market is a wonderful place! #

-Hello, Rudi!

-Hello, Granny Murray! Hello, kids!

-Hello, Dad!

Jack, I've put your sign up.

We've been having fun looking at different signs. Have you been busy?

-Yeah. I've still got loads of fruit left to sell.

-I'll take four apples!

Four apples coming up!

One...two...

three...four!

Can I tempt you with any pears?

No, thank you. I think they're a wee bit juicy to eat on the way.

-Are we off to spot more signs?

-No, we're off to the play club.

-I wish I could come.

-Never mind. We'll see you later.

-Bye, Rudi!

-Bye!

-Bye-bye!

Right, time to put a bit of welly into my day!

Come and get your lovely, juicy, delicious,

luscious pears! The juiciest pears on the market! As sweet as a nut!

I'm not asking £1 a kilo! Just 50p a kilo, ladies and gentlemen!

This is your last chance to get the bargain of the day!

I'm not having much luck shifting my stock today. I hope Jack has more fun at the play club.

# I love to skip in Riversea Fingal Riversea Fingal, that's for me! #

Stop! Red light!

Good boy!

Are you having fun, Daddy?

The juiciest pears on the market! Come on, ladies and gentlemen!

50p a kilo!

I might have to join Jack at the play club if things don't get busy.

-Hi, Rudi!

-Hello, Tina!

-Where shall I put this other box of pears?

-Not more pears!

-Yes.

-The wholesaler asked me to drop this off.

-I haven't sold the first box.

So... it's all gone a bit pear-shaped!

-At least you've put a smile on my face, Tina.

-Good luck, cheeky chops!

-Bye.

-See you later!

I've been working hard all day, but I've still got these pears to sell!

If I don't sell them soon, they'll go squishy. Where did the time go?

At 7 o'clock, I dropped off Jack at Granny Murray's.

She told me about the signs the children were making.

They dressed Claude as a beeping traffic light!

At 8 o'clock, I arrived at the market.

Then, Tina arrived with a box of pears. I'd ordered too many.

At 12 o'clock, Granny Murray and Jack bought some apples,

but not pears. They were too juicy.

At 1 o'clock, Tina returned with another box of pears.

I'd not started selling the pears she brought earlier.

Now, remember, signs help to sell things.

Signs do help to sell things!

So, first things first, down comes the "closed" sign,

so I can go and get a new sign.

If I'm going to sell all these pears, 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'd going to do it? Do the job that needs to be done?

# Will he know how to fix it? Will he finish what he has begun?

# Just as sure as we are friends He will get there in the end

# Because he knows what he should to Work it through

# I'm gonna do it

He's gonna do it

# I'm gonna beat the clock before the chime

-# I'm gonna sort it

-He's gonna sort it

# I'm gonna 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! #

Phew! I managed to get rid of all the old pears and lots of other fruit and vegetables, too!

-Granny Murray was right - a free sign does attract the customers.

-Hi, Rudi, do you have any pears left?

-Yeah. And they're free if you buy something else.

-Free? Great!

In that case, I'll have a cabbage as well.

# That's a cabbage And a pear free! #

-Thanks, Rudi. There you go. See you later.

-Cheers.

-Bye.

-Bye-bye! I wonder how Jack's doing.

Do you know, that's the fifth triangular sign we've seen today.

-That one says "cafe".

-Open and close!

-Yes!

That one says "toilets"!

Do you need to go? Me, too. Come on. Your daddy will be home soon.

'I want to be with you, Daddy.'

Rudi, come away through!

Look who's here, Jack!

Give us a cuddle! Yeah!

Sounds like you've had a good time with Granny Murray.

-We certainly did!

-Say thank you.

-Thank you!

Oh, what a great boy!

And thanks from me, too, Granny Murray.

I remembered what you said - signs help to sell things.

-It saved the day!

-Well, well!

-You'll want to be off home.

-Come on.

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

-Me, too.

Let's talk about our time away.

I suppose you'll want me to tell you 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 set of beeping traffic lights...

to let Rudi know when it was safe for him to cross the room.

Today, the children were busy making signs.

We saw lots of signs on the street.

Round signs to help us cross the road

and triangular signs to tell us that men were working.

We had great fun spotting all the different signs in the street.

There were signs at the play club, too.

The children had to do what the signs said, just like real drivers.

They even stopped at the red traffic lights. The best sign of the day

was on Rudi's stall.

That was a great help when he needed to sell fruit in double-quick time.

You see, signs help to sell things!

I hope you enjoyed yourself. Me, too!

Bye-bye, honey-pie!
