Midnight Dancing 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...

# I love to skip in Riversea Fingal

# Riversea Fingal, by the sea. #

Seven o'clock.

# Come on and get on down to the city

-# Where the ferryboat sails at noon

-Sails at noon

# Time to call on Granny Murray

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

Hello, honeypie!

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 Ellie and we've got Sean.

But don't just sit there. Let's get up on our feet!

# You put your right hand in

# Your right hand out

# In, out, in, out Shake it all about

# You put your whole self in Your whole self out

# Your whole self in And you shake it all about

# You do the hokey-cokey And you turn around

# That's what it's all about

# See! Oh, hokey-cokey-cokey

# Oh, hokey-cokey-cokey

# Oh, hokey-cokey-cokey

# Knees bent, arms stretched Raa-raa-raa! #

Yeah!

Well, we've got Ellie and we've got Sean.

But someone's missing from home today.

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

Oh, yes, it's Bobby and Kai. ..Hello, there!

Bobby, hello!

And, Kai, my treasure. Come away through and see everyone.

We're puffed out. We were just having a dance.

Oh, Tina and Raymond are dancing tonight live from Riversea Fingal

-on Midnight Dancing.

-Oh, I know. It's great, isn't it?

Why don't you dress Claude up as a ballroom dancer?

-Oh! Granny Murray, would you like this dance?

-Oh, I'd be honoured.

THEY HUM

Oh, Bobby, you swept me right off my feet!

Oh, I love dancing. And do you know what?

-So does Kai.

-Well, he must be a big fan of Raymond and Tina.

Yeah. He's a huge fan.

In fact, could he stay up tonight to watch them strut their stuff on TV?

Of course he can, if I can stay up that late.

Imagine that, being live on telly. I'd be dead nervous.

I was on the television once.

My Angus used to be in a big band. It was his band actually.

Anyway, I sang.

Wow, Granny Murray! Imagine singing in front of a big band.

And on TV! I don't know how you did it.

Some things are easier than you think.

Oh, Claude looks like he's ready to waltz off to the ball.

Excuse me, Claudia.

-Oh, you look ever so smart, Claude.

-You look like a real charmer.

-Well done, everyone.

-There you go, Mummy.

-Oh, is this for me?

-Yes.

Thanks. I'm going to look very smart at work tonight. Listen...

you be a good boy for Granny Murray and I'll see you in the morning.

Night-night.

Come on, then.

Now, remember, some things are easier than you think.

-Thanks, Granny Murray. See you later.

-Bye. We'll be thinking of you.

Me too.

Will you keep a wee eye on Bobby,

make sure she 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 left now? Do I go right?

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

-Right!

-OK - right! 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, post box!

Oh, hello, plane!

# 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 Which way's a frown? #

-Up!

-OK, that way! Up the steps!

# You told me the way to go

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

Oh, thanks for helping me get to work.

But now I need to get busy. It's time to put on my work clothes.

All dressed and ready to go.

Coo-ee!

Oh, Dr Juno! And Chuck, too! Where are you going to all dressed up?

-To the ferryboat.

-For tonight's episode of...

# Midnight Dancing Yeah, yeah, yeah! #

Wow! It's going to be so good.

We're gonna be dancing. Step, step, cha-cha-cha.

-Step, step, cha-cha-cha.

-That was cha-cha-cha-tastic.

But when you're doing the cha-cha-cha

remember to give it a bit more va-va-voom!

Oh, Bobby!

Try it.

-Step, step, cha-cha-cha.

-Step, step, va-va-voom!

We'd better get going.

Oh, on you go. And don't forget... ALL: Step, step, va-va-voom!

Oh! I wonder what my little va-va-voom is up to.

# 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. #

Look what Granny Murray's made for us. It's salad dancers.

Do you like my wee lady's hair?

Watch this.

# Da-da-da-da

# Dadadad-da-da

# Da-da-da-da. #

Do you like your man? He's got a nice straight carrot back.

Mm!

I love radishes. They're so crunchy.

You have to eat your salad if you want to be a good dancer

like Raymond and Tina and your mum, don't you?

Are you having fun, Mummy?

TRUMPET PLAYS

Wow!

-Hey, Bobby.

-Hi, Louie.

-Have you seen the others?

-I'm doing the Midnight Dancing show with them.

-They've already gone.

-They wanted to get there in plenty of time.

-Cool. Nice tie.

It's a little like...

BLUESY TUNE

-Cool!

-Cool!

Good luck with the show. Kai's hoping to watch it at Granny Murray's.

-Well, Kai will tell you all about it. I'll see you later.

-Ta-ra!

Oh, well, time for me to get on with some work.

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

# Sponging with her squeegee 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 moon walk 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. #

Bobby!

Oh, Tina! You look amazing. But be careful.

You'll get stuff on your dress.

Aren't you supposed to be on the ferryboat for Midnight Dancing?

Yes, but it's not quite time yet.

Please, may I wait here?

Yes, of course you can, Tina. I'm having a break.

Getting a little nervous about tonight.

But you've been on stage lots of times.

I know. It's just...

I wish we were dancing the foxtrot. I'm quite good at that.

Oh, I wish we were jiving.

Oh, Tina Robertson rocks when it comes to the jiving.

Tina, be careful of your hair.

Yeah, me!

But we're not doing any of that.

Raymond and I are dancing a waltz.

Oh, I'm sure you'll be brilliant, Tina.

Kai can't wait to see you on the telly.

I wonder if he's still awake.

It's nearly time for your programme, Kai.

Are you OK?

I wonder how your mum's getting on.

Are you cleaning all the buses, Mummy?

Tina, I'm gonna get back to work.

Oh, please, can I stay here, Bobby?

-I don't want to go to Midnight Dancing.

-Why not?

I just don't.

You can stay here for as long as you like, Tina, but I've got to work.

What am I going to do?

I've still got loads of work to do but Tina's all upset

and Kai's waiting to see Tina on the telly. Where did the time go?

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

I told Granny Murray how Kai loved to see Tina and Raymond dancing.

I asked Granny Murray if Kai could stay up late to watch a TV show,

Midnight Dancing, from the ferryboat in Riversea Fingal.

Kai gave me a bow tie, a bit like Claude's,

and I set off to my work.

At eight o'clock, Dr Juno and Chuck stopped by.

They were appearing on Midnight Dancing.

I showed them how to put the va-va-voom into their cha-cha-cha.

At nine o'clock, I did some hard work. But stopped when Tina came.

Tina was nervous about dancing a waltz with Raymond on TV.

She wished she could do another sort of dance.

Now, remember - some things are easier than you think.

Some things are easier than you think.

Of course! Tina's forgotten how easy it is to waltz.

So...I've just got to remind her.

Come on, Tina. I'm going to help you with your waltz.

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 so-o-o-ong

# Do we think she's gonna 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 sure as we are friends She will get there in the end

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

-# I'm gonna do it

-She's 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 so-o-o-ong. #

Oh, thanks, Bobby. You're a great dance teacher.

I could dance, dance, dance all night.

Oh, I just can't wait to go on Midnight Dancing.

You'd better get a move on. Hurry up, Tina.

One, two, three. One, two, three. One, two, three.

Oh, it's nearly midnight.

I hope my little boy's still awake for Midnight Dancing.

This week, Midnight Dancing comes live from the Ferryboat

in Riversea Fingal.

And first onto the dance floor are that delightful couple -

Raymond and Tina.

WALTZ MUSIC PLAYS

Night-night, darling.

Your mummy will waltz in here in the morning and pick you up.

I'm thinking of you, Mummy.

Oh, hello. Come away in.

Your mum's here, Kai.

Hi, Kai.

Hello, Mummy.

You look like you've had a smashing time.

-Oh, we sure have.

-Are you going to thank to Granny Murray?

-Thanks.

-Bye-bye.

-And thanks from me, too, Granny Murray.

I remembered what you said. Some things are easier than you think.

-Saved the day.

-It never did.

-Come on, let's get you home.

-Come on, Kai.

-Looking forward to next time.

-Me too.

Kai, let's chat about our time away.

And I suppose YOU'LL want to know all about MY time too.

# Well, there was...

# Hugging, squishing rocking, pushing

# Dancing, dusting sharing, choosing

# Drying, cleaning laughing, joking

# Making things and rushing round

# Dressing up and sitting down. #

But what was really special about today?

Well, Claude was dressed as a ballroom dancer

because Tina and Raymond were going to be on Midnight Dancing.

Bobby called by with Kai

and asked if I wouldn't mind staying up late with Kai

to watch Tina and Raymond. Bobby left for work with a bow tie.

While Bobby was busy at the bus depot, I made Kai a special tea,

a salad in the shape of ballroom dancers.

Meanwhile, Bobby was reminding Tina

that some things are easier than you think.

Bobby and Tina waltzed round the bus depot

until Tina felt much better.

At midnight, Kai and I watched Tina and Raymond dance a waltz on TV.

It was glorious.

Bye-bye, honeypie.
