The Waterfall Me Too!

-# Come on and get on down to the city

-This city

# Where the trains all clatter through

# Hey, look at that driver drivin' I want to ride that train of blue

# I'm looking way up high to the windy

# Take a peek for an inside view

# All those people busy workin'

# I want to see what they all do

# Come on, let's meet round the market

# Until you hear that hullabaloo

# Everybody's busy sellin'

-# I want to 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 want to drive down the avenue

# Hey, look at those buses gleamin'

# They look so clean and spanking new

# All lined up to drive around the city

-# Let me ting that bell

-Ding, ding!

# I'm gonna ride on right to the school stop

# Where the children hurry through

# Sit down, the teacher's teaching

# I'd love to learn a thing or two. #

# I love to skip in Riverseafingal

# Riverseafingal, by the sea... #

Seven o'clock.

# Come on, get on down to the city

# Where the ferryboat sails at noon

# Time to call on Granny Murray

# She'd love to say hello to you. #

Me too!

Hello, honey pie! 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?

Well, there's Gary and there's Molly.

Well, don't just sit there, treasures! Let's get busy!

Oh! Well done, big boy.

All the sand.

There, look at that.

Swirly...you can draw anything you like.

Give it a wee shake.

Well, we've got Molly and Gary.

But someone's missing from home today.

Ah - not any more! Who's coming home to Granny Murray?

It's Jack, with Rudi!

Hello there!

Rudi, hello!

-Hi, Granny Murray!

-And Jack - ooh, a big squeeze and cuddle!

Come on, my darlings.

-Come a way in.

-Here he is.

-It's not very nice outside.

-It certainly is a dull day.

Oh, I think it's going to rain.

I know! Why don't you all dress Claude up ready for the wet weather?

Oh, I'll take your aprons off.

Hands up to the sky.

Right! Come on up to my snug, Rudi.

Go on, then. Just for a moment, though.

We need a rain jacket.

What about you, Rudi? You're not dressed for the wet weather.

Don't worry about me.

My market stall's got a great waterproof roof to keep me dry.

I'll be snug as a bug in a rug!

I'm worried about my customers being put off by the bad weather.

Oh, that's true.

Once, when it was snowing, I filled up Jack's toboggan with fruit and veg

and then I dragged it round the streets to sell!

We won't be tobogganing today.

We're going to the art gallery.

My favourites are the colourful, swirly paintings.

I love the sculptures with bits sticking out everywhere.

Me too. It's the perfect outing for a wet day.

Oh, look! Claude's dressed.

Whoa! Look at you!

Well, I think Claude could do with a splash of colour

to brighten up his grey day!

So let's put a nice pink scarf round him.

-Sounds very snazzy, Claude.

-Well done, everyone.

-Dad?

What's this? Have you got something for me?

-Oh!

-What is it?

Oh - picture!

Right. I'd best be off.

So, I'll see youse all later.

-Bye, Rudi. I'll see you to the door.

-B-B-B-B-Bye!

-Bye-bye!

See you when you come back from work!

And remember, there's nothing like a splash of colour

to cheer up a grey day.

-Thanks. I'll see you later.

-We'll be thinking of you.

-Me too.

Now, you keep an eye on Rudi

and make sure he goes the right way to work.

# I'm on my way to work today

# I'm walking me 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? #

-Hey!

-OK, which way?

# 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-a-way. #

Hello, cobbles!

Hello, train!

Hello, roadworks! Hello, tram!

Hello, sweeper!

Hello, van!

HE WHISTLES A TUNE

# 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 showed me the way to go

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

Great! I've arrived. So what next?

That's right, I need to change into me work clothes.

All dressed and ready to go.

Oh, dear, here comes the rain.

-Morning, Rudi.

-Raymond! How's it going?

-Mustn't grumble.

I've got the day off from the trains

to sort all the costumes under the arch.

-The place is a tip.

-At least you'll be dry.

-True.

-Cuppa?

-Thanks, go on, then.

I've got a few moments. Thanks.

Those grapes look good.

They...taste even better!

Go on, then. I'll take a bunch.

Coming right up.

You know, we've got a costume with grapes all over it.

Bright red, it is. From when we did a show called Carmen Miranda.

Tina wore it. You should have seen her dance!

She swished and swirled about the stage - cha-cha cha, cha-cha cha...

Sounds fun.

You should see the gowns I made for the Christmas panto,

especially the dress I wore as Widow Twanky!

It had bright diamonds and teapots sewn all over it!

-"Look behind you!"

-Eh?

No, I was doing a line from the show.

Oh, right. Well, here you go.

-A pound, please.

-Thanks.

-I must get on.

-OK.

-Nice picture, by the way.

-Bye-bye.

Must be nine o'clock. I wonder what Jack's up to?

# I love to skip in Riverseafingal

# Riverseafingal, by the sea

# I love to skip in Riverseafingal

# Riverseafingal, that's for me. #

Wow! look at that! Isn't it cool?

Look at the window! Look at the wee window, Jack!

And all the lovely stonework round it.

Jack, I wish your dad had been able to come here with us.

What are you doing in the market, Daddy?

I hope Jack's having a good time at the art gallery.

Time to make a few bob.

Ladies and gentlemen, it mightn't be dry, but come and buy, buy, buy!

-Hello, Rudi.

-Hey, Dr Juno! I haven't seen you in a while.

-No Sampson with you?

-No, he's having a snooze at home.

-I took him for a run around the park.

-So, what can I do for you?

Well, it's such a miserable day,

I thought I'd make a nice, hot vegetable soup.

So, I'll have these carrots...

a couple of potatoes...

and a piece of ginger.

Thanks, Doc. That'll be £2.20, please.

-OK.

-Here you go.

-Thank you, Rudi. I'm looking forward to the soup.

-It sounds like it'll be lovely.

-I'll bring you some.

Yes, please! It'll keep me warm while I'm working.

-Bye, Rudi.

-Bye!

That Doc Juno's a diamond, eh?

Seems like the rain's easing off. Time to get down to business.

# Dum, dum, dee-de, do

# I make it look easy What I dum, dum, dee-dee, do

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

# All of the veggies for a stew

# But it's more than meets the eye

# What I do for you

# And 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

# Oh, the market, the market Come look around

# The hustle, the bustle The bubbles of sound

# The colours all chaotic, yeah And spillin' about

# The smells, all exotic, yeah The market cries out

# Objects to excite you and to draw you near

# The buying and the selling

# Cheap or dear

# Oh, the market, the market I just love to be there

# The market is a wonderful place Dooby-dooby, be-do-be-do-ba! #

Ooh. The rain didn't hold off for long. It's getting even heavier now.

I don't think I'll do any more business today.

I'm really starting to shiver.

Ooh. It's only me, Rudi.

Hello, Dr Juno! I could really do with some of your soup now.

Here. I hope you like it.

Oh, thanks.

Oh, that is good soup, you can really taste the carrots.

Are you busy today?

Well, I was before, but I think the...the potatoes are so creamy!

I think the rain has driven away my customers.

Oh, the ginger really packs a punch!

-Well, I'm glad you like it. Here you go, Rudi.

-Thanks Dr J.

-Well, I'd better get back to feed Sampson. Love to Jack!

-Bye!

I wonder how Jack is?

Oh, Jack, look at this one here.

Look at the cars, boys. They've got their lights on.

-And what's that?

-A taxi!

-It's a taxi! It might be, Tina!

That looks like my Daddy! He's fishing and having a cup of tea.

Do you think that looks like your Daddy, Jack? Huh?

I don't know what your dad would say about that!

I miss you, Daddy.

I bet Jack's looking at some great pictures with Granny Murray!

HE YAWNS

Oh, no! The roof of the stall seems to be sagging.

It must've collected a lot of water.

I'd best get rid of it.

Aaaargh!

I'm soaked through!

Oh, what a day!

Where did the time go?

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

They dressed up Claude.

At eight o'clock, I got to work and opened the stall.

At nine o'clock, Raymond passed by.

I gave him some tea

and he told me all about the theatre costumes stored in his Arch.

Raymond told me they really added a splash of colour on a rainy day.

At ten o'clock, it was still raining

when Dr Juno bought vegetables to make soup.

At 11 o'clock and 12 o'clock, I was working.

I didn't have any more customers cos of the rain. I was really cold.

Luckily, Dr Juno brought me some of her soup.

It really warmed me up.

At one o'clock, I was still working and it was still raining.

Then I noticed that the roof was full of rain

so I tried to sweep it away.

And I got soaked to the skin!

This is really turning out to be a grey, dreary, miserable day.

Now remember, there's nothing like a splash of colour

to cheer up a grey day.

Of course, a splash of colour!

I know the perfect place to get a splash of colour

and a change of clothes!

Raymond's store of theatrical costumes under the Arch!

It's a race against time!

Back in a minute!

# I've gotta do it I've gotta do it

# I've gotta beat the clock before the chime

# I've gotta sort it I've gotta sort it

# I've gotta do the job on time

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

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

# I've gotta do it I've gotta do it

# I've gotta beat the clock before the chime

# I've gotta sort it I've gotta sort it

# I've gotta do the job on time

# And like a busy bee I'm gonna beat that bong

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

# He knows what to do and work it through

# Tick, tock, tick, tock

# Tick, tock, tick, tock

# Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick! #

# I feel good Da-da da-da da-da dah. #

Thanks to you, Raymond, I've got the most colourful stall

and fantastic new dry clothes just like Widow Twanky!

Looking this good has got to be good for business!

Come and get the finest fruit and veg

from the most colourful stall in Riverseafingal!

Get your oranges, get your lemons, bunches of grapes for just £1.

Start bagging them up!

I hope you're having as much fun with colours as I am, Jack.

Wow! That's a great splash of red there.

I think our picture's just as good

as some of the paintings in the gallery!

Look at my man!

Wow! That's brilliant, I think your daddy would love your man.

When is he going to be home?

Soon, darling, very soon.

I wish he was home now.

I know, darling.

-Rudi, come away in.

-Hi, Granny Murray.

Look who's here!

-Dad!

-Hello, Jack! Come here.

-It sounds like someone's had a great time!

-Yes!

We certainly have, haven't we?

-That's right, you say thank you.

-Oh, great boy!

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

"There's nothing like a splash of colour to brighten up a grey day."

-It helped save the day.

-Well, well, come on you two,

you're going home.

-I'm looking forward to next time.

-Me too. Come on, Jack.

I suppose you want me to tell you all about my time too?

# Well, there was...waving, painting, hello, meeting

# Bye-bye, closing, waking, dozing

# Eating, sleeping, fetching, stretching

# Painting, sketching, gluing too

# Sticking up and wiping round

# Picking up and sitting down! #

But what was really special about today?

Well...Claude was dressed in wet-weather clothes

because it was such a grey, rainy day.

When we walked to the art gallery

the shapes of the buildings we passed were amazing.

Inside the art gallery,

we saw all sorts of colourful, swirly paintings.

The costumes in some of them were fantastic!

After we'd seen the pictures, we painted some of our own

with bright colours that would really make a splash

on such a grey day!

Do you think a splash of colour would brighten up a grey day?

Me too! Bye-bye, honey pie!

# I love to skip in Riverseafingal

# Riverseafingal, by the sea

# I love to skip in Riverseafingal

# Riverseafingal, that's for me. #

# Come on, get on down to the city

# Where the ferryboat sails at noon

# Time to call on Granny Murray

# She'd love to say goodbye to you...#
