The Fancy Dress Me Too!

# Come on and get on down to the city

# Where the trains all clatter through

# Look at that driver driving

# I wanna ride that train all blue

# I'm looking way up high to the windows

# Take a peek at that view

# All those people busy working

-# I wanna see what they all do

-Me too!

# Let's weave round the market

# Do you hear that hullabaloo?

# Everybody's busy selling

-# I wanna buy me something new

-Me too!

# Look through the arches of the station

# Down where the pigeons coo

# Take a taxi ride to the river

-# I wanna drive down the avenue

-Me too!

# Look at those buses gleaming

# So clean and spanking new

# All lined up to drive around the city

# Ting that bell toodle-oo!

# I'm gonna 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...! #

7 o'clock.

# Come on and get on down to the city

# Where the ferryboat's sails are blue

# Time to call on Granny Murray

# She'd love to say hello to you!

# Me too! #

Hello, honeypie!

Come 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 Elshadya and Angel.

Don't just sit there, my darlings. Come on! Let's have some fun.

Do you like nursery rhymes?

Mary, Mary, quite contrary How does your garden grow?

The Queen of Hearts she made some tarts all on a summer's day.

Do you have a favourite nursery rhyme? We have Angel and Elshadya.

But someone's missing.

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

Ah, here's Lisa with Tina. Hello there!

-Hi, Granny Murray.

-Hello, Lisa!

Hello, flowers. Now Lisa's here we'll do something new.

Why don't you dress Claude up in different bits and bobs?

And we'll have a wee seat.

So, Tina, are you going to the fancy dress party at the People's Palace?

No, I'll be busy driving my taxi.

But Raymond can go. I'll take the children.

I'm going as Little Miss Muffit.

How about dressing up one of the children as your spider?

That's a great idea. I'll make the most of my time at home

by making a spider costume for Lisa.

-An you make the most of your time too.

-I won't!

Would you look at Claude!

Poor Claude! I can hardly see him for all those clothes.

He's a firefighting, spooky, scuba diver!

Argh! Oh, it's a spider. It's not a real one.

That was a good trick.

-Now, you be good today, right?

-Come on, treasure.

Remember, make the most of your time.

-Thank you. I'll see you later.

-We'll be thinking of you.

-Me too.

Will you make sure Tina goes the right way to work?

# I'm on my way To work today

# Walking my shoes through the city views

# Stepping along and swinging my arms

# 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

-# Can you show me the way I go?

-Hey!

-#

OK - which way?

# Do I go that way? Do I go this?

# Which way is a hit? Which way is a miss? #

-Left!

-OK - left! To the garage!

# I'm on my way To work today

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

Hello, builders!

Hello, hat!

Hello, flower!

Hello, cat!

Hello, green man! Hello, flat!

# She's on her way to work today

# Looking this way and that-a-way

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

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

-Down!

-OK, that way! Down!

# You showed me the way to go

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

Phew! Now what? Of course! I have to get dressed for work.

Hello!

Raymond! What a super surprise!

-How is my Queen of Hearts?

-Just grand. Why are you here?

I just nipped in to get a costume for the fancy dress party.

What about... Oh, the Grand Old Duke of York?

-What do you think?

-Perfect.

-I'll pack it in a box for you.

-I'll come for it on the way to the party.

I'll leave it over there.

-Love you.

-Me too!

What...? Oh!

It's only Lisa's itsy-bitsy spider.

I wonder what Lisa's doing right now.

Bye-bye!

I wish I could be a fly on the wall and see Lisa at nursery.

The incey-wincey spider went up the water spout

Down came the rain and washed the spider out

Out came the sunshine and dried up all the rain

The incey-wincey spider went up the spout again.

-Tina, Tina!

-Yes?

-I've been invited to...

-The fancy dress party?

-Yes.

-And I was wondering if I could...

-Borrow a costume?

You are good! So is that all right?

That's fine. I can't go cos I've got to work.

But if I was going, I would have worn this!

-The Queen of Hearts! Great!

-I'll pop it in a box and leave it there.

Oh, thank you, Tina!

Bye, Bobby.

Well, time for me to hit the road again.

Look out, city, here I come!

# City roads are waiting

# The traffic lights are changing

# Police cars are cruising

# The trucks keep a-trucking

# And the city roads are waiting for me to take a drive

# In my pretty pink taxi... #

Taxi!

# People wave me down in my pretty pink taxi

# Get into the back and just relax for the ride

# Pretty pink taxi She's going for a dri-ive

# Look in the mirror Shift that gear

# Pull out to the busy lane My pink taxi takes the strain

# The radio calls up a taxi fare Who am I gonna meet?

TOOT-TOOT!

# Looking for a job in my pretty pink taxi, o-oh!

# Cruising in the city In my pretty pink taxi, yeah

# Drive, drive, drive

# In my pretty pink taxi

# Ride, ride, ride

# Where you wanna go... #

Taxi!

# Cos I need to take a drive In my pretty pink taxi

# People wave me down And they'll ask for a ride. #

I'd better pack those costumes for Raymond and Bobby.

# Oh, the Grand Old Duke of York he had a pair of boots. #

A jacket.

Some trousers.

And the very smart black hat.

A crown for a queen.

The Queen of Hearts made some tarts...

-Oh, tarts!

-Nice dress!

Thanks, Dr Juno. It's for the fancy dress party.

-Cool. Are you coming?

-I can't. I'm working. This is for Bobby.

-How about you?

-That's just it. Do you have a Viking helmet?

-If so, may I borrow it?

-A Viking helmet?

-With big horns?

-That's right. Oh, I think I see a Viking helmet.

-Ta-da!

-Great! Well done!

-I'd better go and get ready.

-Enjoy wearing it.

-I will. See you.

Well, now, that's all sorted...

-Hello, love!

-You made good time.

All the trains ran on time today. Is my costume in a box?

It's over there.

Thanks, babe. Bye!

Give Lisa a hug from me.

Lisa must be getting ready for the fancy dress party right now.

You're a very scary spider!

I know it's you, cos I'm Little Miss Muffit.

I run away from the spider.

Girls, I must take your photo.

Hold on. Now, everyone, budge in close. That's it.

Ready!

Fantastic. Wait till I show Mum when she gets home.

I'm sorry I'm late, Tina. Thanks for this.

-How do I get to the People's Palace?

-I'll give you a lift,

or you'll never make it on time.

Thank you!

Come on!

Oh, no!

-What is it?

-We'll have to go back. This isn't the Queen of Hearts.

-It's the Grand Old Duke of York!

-That's what it looks like.

We're on our way to a fancy dress party.

You've got the wrong costume

and we can't go back cos we're stuck in this traffic jam.

Where did the time go?

At 7 o'clock I went to Granny Murray's to drop off Lisa.

She told me she was taking the children to a fancy dress party

at the People's Palace in the park.

8 o'clock, I arrived at the taxi garage and got ready for work.

Raymond stopped by for a Grand Old Duke of York costume for the party.

I said I'd pack it up in a box for him.

At 9 o'clock, Bobby said she wanted to go to the fancy dress party,

but she didn't have an outfit.

I showed her my Queen of Hearts dress and told her to get it later.

And at 4 o'clock I packed

the Grand Old Duke of York and the Queen of Hearts costumes into boxes.

Raymond collected his costume and at four o'clock,

Bobby picked up her costume.

We jumped into the taxi and I set off across the city

to the fancy dress party.

But at 5 o'clock, we were still sitting in a traffic jam.

That's when Bobby realised she had picked up the wrong outfit.

Now remember, make the most of your time.

Make the most of your time.

Well, of course! Since the traffic is so bad,

and we can't go anywhere, we might as well make the most of our time

here!

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'm going to 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?

# I'm sure she'll get there in the end

# Because she knows what to do

-# I'm going to do it

-She's going to do it

# I'm going to beat the clock before the chime

-# I'm going to sort it

-She's going to sort it

# I'm going 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 I finish that so-o-o-ong. #

That's £10 for the taxi and the makeover is free to a friend.

Thanks, Tina.

Good luck, Bobby... I mean, Grand Old Duke!

-Look at you!

-It's not what I expected, but it's fancy dress!

Bye!

Oh, I hope Bobby and Raymond have a great time at the party.

Oh! And Lisa too!

Come on! Let's have a dance!

Lisa, I wish Mum could have been here as well.

We'll tell her all about it. Yeah!

Hello, Tina. Come away in.

-Look who's here, Lisa!

-Hi, Lis.

-Hello, Mummy.

-Did you have a good day with Granny Murray?

-You betcha.

Thank you, Granny Murray!

And thanks from me too, Granny Murray. I remembered what you said.

Make the most of your time. It saved the day.

Oh, is that so?

Come on. Let's get you home.

Bye, my darling.

I'm looking forward to next time.

Me too. Come on, Lisa. Let's talk about our time away.

And 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. #

What was really special about today?

Well, Claude was dressed in crazy clothes

because later we were going to the fancy dress party.

We looked at nursery rhymes and thought about the characters.

I took Lisa to nursery.

Later on we all got into costume.

Lisa made a brilliant spider.

Tina had fun making the most of her tine

and Bobby dressed up as the Grand Old Duke of York.

We had a laugh at the fancy dress party at the People's Palace.

Raymond looked so funny as the Queen of Hearts.

Wasn't that a hoot!

I hope you had a fun time.

Me too! Bye-bye, honeypie!
