The Burst Water Main 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 round 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

# 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. #

Seven o'clock.

# 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. #

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,

I've got Megan and Sean. Don't just sit there, fruit tubes.

Come on, on your feet! We're going to play Charades.

-I know, a policeman!

-Yes!

A train driver...

with a big, big steering wheel.

A bus driver! That was brilliant. Well, I've got Megan,

and I've got Sean, but someone's missing from home today.

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

Oh, yes it's Rudi...with Jack.

Hello there!

-Rudi!

-Hi, Granny Murray.

-Hello there! And Jack.

Well done.

-There you go, Jack.

-We're miming jobs that people do in the city.

-Wow!

-Great!

-But now Jack's here we'll do something new.

Why don't you all dress Claude up as a window cleaner?

-And we can squidge our way over to the chairs!

-Right you are!

Ahh. So, you're a fan of the city, Granny Murray?

Oh, yes. There's always something going on in a city.

There's the underground trains, rattling below.

The big, tall buildings that soar into the sky...

Claude would get dizzy cleaning those windows!

Oh! And the city traffic!

-The people.

-The shops.

-The noise...

Oh! I love it all!

You never know what's gonna happen next in the city.

You've got to be on your toes at all times.

Once, when I worked in a department store,

I came to work one morning

and they were repairing the road outside my display window.

So, I decided to dress the dummies in the window as workmen!

So there were workmen in the shop window and outside.

-What a clever idea!

-Well, when the unexpected happens,

do the unexpected.

Oh! Look at Claude. He's ready to clean some windows.

-I'd best be off to work, too.

-Ahh, here.

Claude, you look every inch the window cleaner!

-Has he got his squeegee?

-He certainly has!

-It's a window cleaner!

-For me? My very own squeegee!

Well, you never know when the unexpected might happen!

Very true, Rudi!

Right, you give me a cuddle, go on! Ahhh!

Behave yourself! Bye, kids!

Come on, Rudi!

Now, remember, when the unexpected happens, do the unexpected.

-Thanks, Granny Murray. See you later!

-I'll be thinking of you!

-Me too!

Will you keep an eye on Rudi and make sure he goes the right way?

# 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 it's just so fine

# I so enjoy my walking time

# I always go the way I know

-# Can you tell 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 market.

# I'm on my way to work today

# Going this way and that-a-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, hey!

# Do I go up now? 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. #

Thanks for that. Now what?

Ah, I need to put on my work clothes.

All dressed and ready to go!

Morning, Rudi! How are your bananas?

All the better for seeing you, Mickey John.

-How many?

-I think ONE will keep my energy levels up.

-OK, there you go. It's on the house.

-Thank you very much!

Are you looking after Rebecca today?

No, I'm teaching. I'm taking my class on a field trip.

Wow! Where to?

The city centre. I thought it'd be fun for them to see a busy city day.

-Certainly lots to do and see!

-I'd imagine there is!

And just think of all the things in the city you can't see, like...

-under our feet!

-Huh?! What do you mean?

Think about it. Under our feet, under the pavement,

are miles of pipe and wire, bringing gas and electricity

and clean water to our homes and offices.

Every time you flush the toilet, it goes 'Whoosh!' under our feet.

Wow! I wish I was coming on your city trip!

I tell you what, we'll pop by and say hi!

Better make sure my windows are clean if I'm gonna have visitors!

Right, bye!

-Rudi! You missed a spot!

-Ah, you cheeky monkey!

I wonder how Jack is.

# I love to skip in Riverseafingal

# Riverseafingal by the sea

# I love to skip in Riverseafingal

# Riverseafingal that's for me. #

Oh, wow! Look at that!

-These bin lorries are noisy, aren't they?

-It's big, isn't it?!

It is, Jack. Look at the big claw!

LORRY WHIRRS

Did you see the rubbish go down?

Oh! It's a bit stinky!

-Yeah!

-Ahh!

Oh, what a noise!

'What are you doing in the market, Daddy?'

# I was on my way to work and I drove like this, drove like this

# Drove like this

# I was on my way to work and I drove like this all day long

# I was on my way to work and I drove like this, drove like this,

# Drove like this, I was on my way to work and I drove like this,

# All day long. #

# I was on my way to work and I tickled like this, tickled like this

# Tickled like this

# I was on my way to work and I tickled like this, all day long. #

Oh, you're a great sport, Rudi!

-I'd have to be with clowns like you!

-See you later, Rudi!

-Bye!

-Bye! Right, back to work.

# Doo-bee, doo-bee-doo

# I make it look easy What I doo-bee, doo-bee-doo

# 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

# 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, Are spilling about

# The smells all exotic, yeah The market cries out

# Objects to excite you And 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! Doo-be-da-bee-doo-bee-da-doo! #

-Hi, Rudi! I told you I'd be back with the children!

-So you did!

Hello, kids! Help yourselves to an apple.

Rudi, what do you reckon this is?

Oh...er, don't tell me, it's an elephant's pea shooter!

It's much more useful than that! It's a listening probe.

It helps people to listen for water under the ground. Try it!

Other way, Rudi!

Silly me! Ahhh.

WATER BUBBLES

Oh, wow! Hey, Mickey John, you can hear water under the ground!

-You have a go!

-All right.

-WATER BUBBLING

-I can hear it!

There must be a water main under your market stall.

-WATER WHOOSHES

-Oh dear...

..A puddle. Your pipe must have sprung a leak.

-Is that bad?

-It's not good!

Don't worry, I'll get my mobile phone from the school bus

-and phone the Water Board to send someone right away!

-Brilliant!

How exciting! There's a leak under my stall!

Hey, perhaps Jack's squeegee will come in handy, after all!

# I love to skip in Riverseafingle Riverseafingle that's for me. #

Oh! Will you look at that!

Who'd have thought washing windows was so exciting?

Hello there!

Watch you don't drop your cloths!

Give them a wave, boys.

Do you see them? Look.

Hello! Oh my goodness, that looks dangerous, doesn't it?

'Are you having fun, Daddy?'

Good news, Rudi.

The Water Board are on their way.

-They want us to find where the water is coming from.

-OK!

Any sign? BUBBLING

-CLANKING

-That's the spot!

Argh! You certainly hit the spot, Mickey John!

Oh! I... I mean, we... have to be getting along!

The parents are waiting. Sorry, Rudi!

But, but...what about my stall?! My leeks are getting leaked on!

Sorry, Rudi. Bye, bye!

Great! I've been working hard all day and 'Whoosh!' Everything's drenched!

Mickey John showed up with his elephant's pea shooter and now look!

Oh, where did the time go?

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

They were playing Charades.

Jack helped them dress Claude as a window cleaner.

At eight o'clock Mickey John arrived and told me about his field trip.

At nine o'clock Louie and Chuck unexpectedly appeared,

and clowned around, as they often do when I want to start work!

At one o'clock Mickey John and the children arrived with a long funnel,

which helps you listen to water trickle below the ground.

Mickey John found a burst water main under my stall!

What am I gonna do?

'Now remember,

'when the unexpected happens, do the unexpected!'

When the unexpected happens, do the unexpected. Of course,

I've got to do the unexpected, and move my market stall

away from the market before it gets washed away!

Tina and her taxi can help. 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

# Gonna finish this job before I finish this song

# Do we think he's gonna do it?

# Do the job that needs to be done?

# Will he know how to fix it?

# Will he finish what he has begun?

# Sure as we are friends he'll get there in the end

# He knows what he should do to work through

-# I'm gonna do it

-He's gonna do it

# Gonna beat the clock before the chime

-# Gonna sort it

-He's gonna sort it

# Gonna do the job on time

# Like a busy bee gonna beat that bong

# Gonna finish this job before I finish this song. #

Come on, folks, roll up! Every one is fresh as the rest!

-Get your lovely fruit and vegetables here!

-Roll up, roll up,

get your taxi home here!

While you're at it, buy a lovely apple to make the journey crisp.

Your day wasn't a total wash out, Rudi!

You can say that again, Tina.

Hurry back!

Oh, I hope you're having an exciting time like me, Jack.

You're working hard today, what have you found, Mr Workman?

-I've found a teddy bear...

-A teddy, just what I was looking for!

-..And an alarm clock...

-Brilliant!

..And a bucket!

Oh, you're fantastic, Mr Digger.

You fill in the hole, your dad'll be here soon.

'I want to be with you, Daddy.'

WHISTLE BLOWS

Rudi! Come through.

-Someone to see you, Jack!

-Rudi!

-Hello! Hey, give us a cuddle!

-Sounds like you had a great time!

-Yep!

-We certainly did!

-Say thanks to Granny Murray.

-Thank you!

-It's a pleasure, angel!

And thank you from me, too. I remembered what you said.

"When the unexpected happens, do the unexpected."

-Saved the day!

-Thanks, Rudi!

-Come on, you two. You'd better be off!

-Come on, mate.

-Bye, bye, my darlings! I look forward to next time!

-Me too!

-Bye!

-Let's talk about our time away!

I suppose you want ME to tell YOU all about MY time too!

# Well, there was Waving, greeting, hello, meeting

# Bye bye, closing, waking, dozing

# Eating, sleeping, fetching, sketching

# Painting, stretching, gluing, chewing

# Sticking up and wiping round

# Dressing up and sitting down! #

But what was really special about today? Well,

Claude was dressed as a window cleaner from the city,

because we were going to see the different jobs that people do.

We watched the busy refuse collectors empty the bins.

We saw window cleaners, too.

They were so brave, perched high outside a huge office block.

Jack and I were glad to keep our feet on solid ground,

or rather, UNDER it, in Jack's case, when he was digging in my garden.

Mickey John dug up some trouble for poor Rudi,

when he burst a water main under his stall.

Still, Rudi had a surprise up his sleeve to deal with the problem.

Nobody expected him to do that!

I hope you enjoyed yourself! 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 and get on down to the city

# Where the ferryboat sails are blue

# Time to call on Granny Murray

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