Masks 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

-Me too

# I love to skip in Riverseafingal

# Riverseafingal, by the sea. #

Six 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... #

Me Too!

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 Brian and we've got Decca.

Don't just sit there, poppets. Let's have some fun!

Masks. Go and get them for Granny Murray then, my angels.

Wow!

Try that one on, Brian.

GRANNY LAUGHS

Well, we've got Brian and we've got Decca.

Someone's missing from home today.

Oh, not any more!

Who's coming home to Granny Murray? Who's that?

Oh, it's Lisa!

With Tina! Hello there!

Hi, Granny Murray.

And Lisa!

Oh, wow! Oh, what fantastic masks, Granny Murray.

Have you got one for Claude? Looks a little bit left out.

I'm sure I'll have one somewhere.

Oh, that looks like a mask you'd wear in a masked ball

in a fairytale like Cinderella.

Great idea. Why don't you dress Claude up as Cinderella?

And I will make a wish for a seat.

Oh, your wish is my command.

Whoosh!

Ping!

Oh, it's funny you should be dressing Claude up as Cinderella

because Raymond and I are doing Cinderella as a play.

-Oh, I'd love to see that.

-Well, maybe next time.

Today Raymond and I are taking the Cinderella play abroad!

Oh, the audiences over there will love it.

Oh, I hope so.

Oh, come on, give me a sneak preview.

Oh, all right! But as Raymond's not here,

I'll have to play all the roles myself!

Smashing!

Hello. I'm Cinderella

and I'm so fed up living with my two nasty sisters!

Cinders, scrub that kitchen!

Yes, Gertrude.

Cinders, polish my shoes!

Oh, yes, Delilah.

Scrub the kitchen. We're going to a ball.

Oh-h!

Brilliant. Your play will be fantastic, Tina.

I wish I had a fairy godmother to make sure that was right.

Oh, don't worry. You don't need any help.

Sometimes you don't realise just how clever YOU are.

Oh, talking of clever...

take a look at everyone's handiwork.

-Oh, you look magic, Claude.

-Mummy.

Oh, is that for me, Lisa? Oh, thank you, darling.

Bye-bye, love.

See you later.

Come on then, flower.

Bye.

Now, remember, sometimes you don't realise just how clever you are.

-Thank you, Granny Murray. See you later.

-Bye-bye, my darling.

-We'll be thinking of you.

-Me too.

Keep an eye on Tina, make sure she goes the right way to work.

What would be the quickest way for me to get to work?

HORN BLOWS

Thank you.

# I'm in, in, in, in, in a hurry

# I nee, nee, nee, need to speed to work

# I take a ticket, ticket on a subway

# I'll be, be, be, be, be, be there quite quick.

# Hurry, hurry, hurry through the tunnels

# Clatter, clatter, clatter underground

# Whining, whining, whining drives the speed up

# Squeaking, squeaking, squeaking slows us down

# Clatter, clatter, clatter

# Squeaking, squeaking, squeaking to our stop!

# I'm in, in, in, in, in a hurry

# I need to speed to work. #

Phew!

Now what. Of course!

I have to get dressed for work.

Ooh, Tina, thank goodness you're here.

Did you remember all the hats for the Cinderella show?

Yes, don't worry, everything is ready and waiting in the garage.

Pick the hats you'll need and I'll bag them up.

Right. Oh, this is great.

What about this for the prince's hat?

-What do you think?

-Prince, you look divine!

Dance, then?

HE HUMS

Are you the postman?

-Oh yes, how did you guess?

-Your dancing is first class.

THEY LAUGH

-Oh, dash!

-Not to worry, this won't take long to pick up.

I hope not. We've got a ferry boat to catch.

You put the plates into this bag,

and I'll put the hats into this other one.

You SHALL go to the ball, Cinders.

I wonder what Lisa's doing right now at nursery.

# I love to skip in Riverseafingal

# Riverseafingal by the sea

# I love to skip in Riverseafingal

# Riverseafingal, that's for me. #

Bye-bye!

Oh, I wish I could be a fly on the wall to see Lisa at nursery.

CHILDREN MAKE ANIMAL NOISES

LISA: What are you doing now, Mummy?

Time we hit the road if we're going to catch the ferry boat.

-Is everything we need in the taxi?

-Yes, the make-up's on board.

What about the hats?

The hats? Ooh, the hats!

-Right, got them.

-That's everything, let's go.

Ferry boat, here we come.

Chuck and Louie!

-Hi, you two! What are you doing aboard?

-We're off to put on a show!

Sounds exciting. What's it about?

-Cinderella.

-Wow, it's one of my favourites!

SHIP'S HORN BLARES

Ooh, looks like we're off!

How exciting!

Right, let's start some hard work.

# The ferry boat band that play The ferry boat sails away

# Floating down the river To the ocean waves

# The captain steers his way As engines pounds away

# Churning down the river to the rhythm of the band

# The radar swings, the ferry band sings

# The captain types his satellite map

# Sailing out to sea on the new tide

# Clap your hands to the ferry boat band

# Wriggle to the rhythm of the engine beat

# Swing to the sway like the waves on the sand

# Bop to the music and stamp your feet

# It's the ferry boat band that play, the waiters serve and sway

# Clattering the trays to the splash of the waves

# The sailors work away As passengers dream their day

# Eating in the buffet As the ferry band play

# Sailing out to sea, riding on the waves

# Rocking to the ocean raw

# As the ferry boat band did play some more

# Clap your hands to the ferry boat band

# Wriggle to the rhythm of the engine beat

# Swing to the sway like the waves on the sand

# Bob to the music and stamp your feet

# Clap your hands to the ferry boat band

# Wriggle to the rhythm of the engine beat

# Swing to the sway like the waves on the sand

# Bop to the music and stamp your feet. #

I love driving abroad, Raymond.

But don't the different road signs mix you up?

Not really, the signs are pretty much the same.

-I'll show you.

-Ooh.

Look at that! You don't see things like that back home.

It's a pity Lisa isn't here to enjoy this.

ALL SING: # ..Hoorah, hoorah

# The animals came in three by three

# The wasp, the ant and the bumblebee

# And they all came marching just to come out of the rain... #

That was brilliant!

-Let me hear your animal noises.

-THEY ALL ROAR LOUDLY

All these wild animals!

LISA: Are you having fun, Mummy?

Right, let's get inside!

Where's the make-up box?

-Make-up box.

-Hats?

Hats.

Ooh, plates.

BOTH: Plates?!

Oh no!

After all our preparation

now it looks like we won't be able to perform our play.

Because we have paper plates instead of hats.

Where did the time go?

At six o'clock I dropped Lisa off at Granny Murray's house.

They were having a great time, dressing Claude up as Cinderella

and playing with masks.

At seven o'clock I arrived at the garage.

Raymond joined me to get ready for our trip.

We loaded all the things aboard the taxi.

After we tied up the mess I'd made by knocking down paper plates.

At ten o'clock, we arrived at the ferry.

We had a great time sailing across the sea.

At one o'clock we arrived and set off to drive to the hall

where we had arranged to perform Cinderella.

At three o'clock, we got to the hall,

only to discover we'd packed paper plates instead of hats.

We must have mixed up the hat bag with the paper-plate bag

I'd knocked over.

Remember, sometimes you don't realise just how clever you are.

"Sometimes you don't realise just how clever you are."

Of course! We may not have hats,

but we do have plates. Let's do something clever with the plates.

Come on, Raymond. The show must go on.

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?

# Yes, as sure as we are friends, she will get there in the end

# Cos she knows what she should 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 gonna do the job on time

# Like a busy bee I'm going to beat that bong

# I'm going to finish the job before I finish the song! #

CHEERING

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,

we are proud to present the story of Cinderella.

CHEERING

Oh dear, I'm Cinderella.

I'm very fed up living with my nasty sisters.

AUDIENCE: Boo!

Cinders, scrub this floor.

Yes Beatrice. Oh, it's the postman.

Hello there, Bert.

Hello, Cinders. Just the one letter today.

To you from Prince Charming.

For me?! From the Prince?

-Oh, it's an invitation to the ball!

-I'll have that!

We're going to the ball. Bye.

-Oh, I wish

-I

-could go to the ball tonight

and dance with a handsome prince.

Ah, dearest Cinderella.

I am your Fairy Godmother. You shall go to the ball.

Thank you, Fairy Godmother.

But don't be late, dear. Be back by midnight.

What a lovely ball.

-What a lovely handsome prince.

-May I have the pleasure?

Don't mind if I do.

-BONG!

-Oh, it is midnight!

The magic will end. Bye, Princey.

Hey!

What about your slipper?

Whoever fits this slipper, I shall marry.

Here, let me try it on.

Boo!

No, I think it will fit my dainty, wee toes.

Oh look, it fits perfectly, charming darling.

-Then we shall be married.

-And live happily ever after.

CHEERING

We did it, Raymond.

Lisa would be so proud!

Lion!

-Me!

-Oh, well done, good girl.

Who can catch the elephants?

-Me!

-Yay! Well done, that's brilliant.

Look at the time!

Your mum'll be sailing by soon to pick you up, darling.

LISA: I want to be with you, Mummy.

Hello, Tina! Come away in.

Mum's here, Lise!

Hello, Lisa.

-Cuddle.

-Hello, Mummy.

-I hear you and Granny Murray had a fab day.

-We sure did!

-Thank you.

-Aww, my wee angel!

Thanks from me too, Granny Murray.

I remembered what you said.

"Sometimes you don't realise how clever you are."

It saved the day.

Oh, is that so?

Come on, let's get you home.

Bye, my darlings.

Looking forward to next time.

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

I suppose you'll want ME to tell YOU all about my time too.

# Well there was hugging, squishing, rocking, pushing

# Dancing, dishing, sharing, choosing

# Talking cooking, drying, cleaning

# Saving, loving, joking

# Losing things and rushing round

# Dressing up and sitting down! #

But what was really special about today?

Well, Claude was dressed as Cinderella.

He looked a real picture in his glittering mask.

I dropped Lisa off at nursery.

There, she had great fun pretending to be an animal.

After nursery, Lisa came back to my house

and joined in with a song about animals keeping out of the rain.

After we'd finished singing, Lisa's mum arrived, to take her home.

Tina and Raymond's trip was a great success.

Their performance of Cinderella went down a treat.

Which goes to show that sometimes you really don't realise

how clever you are.

What a fun day!

I hope you enjoyed yourself.

Me too!

Bye-bye, honeypie.
