The Hike 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. #

Eight 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, honeypie!

Come away in and see who's at home today.

# Granny Murray's house has two at home to play. #

Who's here today?

Well, we've got Megan and Steven. Don't just sit there,

my big cream puffs! What's on Granny Murray's shelves today?

Let's make a tent!

So we'll make a tent inside.

I love camping!

-Let me see!

-I'm under it!

I like it under here, this wee tent!

Well, we've got Megan and Steven.

Someone's missing from home today.

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

Oh! It's Raymond with Lisa.

Hello there!

-Raymond!

-Hiya, Granny Murray.

-And Lisa!

In you come. Whoo-hoo!

We're playing at camping out today.

I love the fun of the outdoor life.

-It's a wee bit wet outside.

-I don't mind some rain, hiking on the moors.

My Angus loved hiking.

That gives me an idea. Why don't you dress Claude up as a hiker?

-Let's hike to the seats for a sit-down?

-Good idea.

Hup, two, three, four. On we go.

You know, that reminds me of my time in the Girl Guides!

-Oh, did you go camping?

-Yes, we did.

One time, I left half the food rations at home.

Crumbs! What happened?

One of the girls had brought some eggs - it's amazing what you can do

-with an egg.

-Well, it looks like Claude has plenty of rations.

Let's take a look.

-Oh!

-Whoo!

Claude looks well prepared for the wet weather outside.

-Well done, my poppets.

-This is for you, Daddy.

Ooh, thanks, Lisa.

-What is it?

-This is an egg-timer.

You put an egg on to boil and then turn this upside-down

and you see the sand as it trickles down to the bottom?

When it's all moved from the top to the bottom, your egg is cooked.

-I'd better get to work.

-Come on, then.

HE HUMS

Now remember - it's amazing all the things you can do with an egg.

-Thanks, Granny Murray. You guys have a fun day.

-Bye-bye.

-I'll be thinking of you.

-Me too!

Keep an eye on Raymond and make sure he 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? #

-Left!

-OK - left! To the station!

# I'm on my way To work today

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

Hello, taxi!

Hello, tank!

Hello, trolley!

Hello, plank!

Hello, lorry!

Hello, bank.

# He's on his way to work today

# Looking this way and that way

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

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

-Up!

-Up!

# You told me the way I go

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

Phew! Here we are.

So what now? Ah, yes! I have to change into my smart uniform.

All dressed and ready to go.

Nine o'clock. Bang on time!

-Morning, Raymond.

-Mickey John!

Right class, settle down. See on the map where we're going.

-Who's all this with you?

-My hiking club. We're going to Molly Moor.

So, what can I get you in the buffet car today? A nice cup of tea?

-No thanks, Raymond. The hiking club is totally self-sufficient.

-Ooh!

When I get to Molly Moor, I'll use my portable cooker

to cook sausages and tomatoes for everyone. Apple crumble for dessert.

Good for you.

I reckon he'll be back for a snack in, ooh...three minutes.

I wonder what Lisa's doing.

# I love to skip in Riverseafingal

# Riverseafingal by the sea

# I love to skip in Riverseafingal

# Riverseafingal, that's for me. #

Ah, that's the potatoes done, girls.

Now just the leeks. Mickey John likes these.

This is just the thing - a warming soup on a cold, miserable day.

Mind you, it's good for watching the rain, isn't it, Megan?

Do you know what you could do, girls? Trace a raindrop

all the way down the window, see whose gets to the bottom first.

-That one!

-One.

-One.

-LISA:

-'Where are you, Daddy?'

Ah! I knew you'd be back eventually.

IN FRENCH ACCENT: No-one can resist the draw of the tea and toastie.

We're itching to get out on the wild and windy moor.

-Will we be there soon?

-We're approaching Molly Moor right now.

Great! Hiking club, at the ready. Stand up, look sharp.

-Um, Mickey John...

-Oh, sorry.

Try and have some consideration for the other passengers.

Quite right - see you on the way back.

Have a good hike, hiking club. And I'd better get on with some work.

# I love my train

# He loves his train

# The driver rushes through the lights

# He pushes things far and wide

# The wheels go round and round the track

# I'm just very happy serving you

# I talk, talk, talk all day

-# I love my train

-He loves his train

-# I love my train

-He loves his train. #

Whoa!

What a busy day.

Must be the wet weather, making people hungry.

Ooh, here already? We'll be back at Molly Moor any minute.

Oi!

I've already had a shower today, thanks, Dr Juno. I just wiped this.

Sorry, Raymond. Brr! It's such a cold day.

-I'm famished. Have you got anything to warm me up?

-Oh...

there's not a lot of choice. It's been a busy day.

I've got plenty of eggs and bread and cheese if you'd like a toastie.

And... Oh - one soup.

-I'll take you up on that toastie.

-Coming up.

Raymond, why don't you have something?

Won't do you any good to work on an empty tummy!

You're right! Stoke the fires, fuel the engine - keep yourself going.

-You've got to. Especially with weather like this.

-In that case,

I'll have the soup. Right... Add water and stand for one minute.

Ooh!

I wonder what you're going to have, Lisa?

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

Let's splash in a puddle! Whoo! My, it's deep here.

I feel like Dr Foster! Come on.

Brrr!

I'm looking forward to some nice leek and potato soup, are you?

'Where is your train now, Daddy?'

That's just what I needed. Thank you, Raymond.

-Love the lipstick!

-Eh?

-Very fetching!

-Ooh!

We're just leaving Molly Moor.

-Mickey John!

-Back already? What happened?

-What happened?

What didn't happen?!

I lost the map and then the tent collapsed,

the stove wouldn't light, a dog took the sausages,

the tomatoes got squashed in my backpack and leaked everywhere...

-I dropped the crumble and left the custard at home!

-Oh no!

So what have you got for us to eat?

Ooh, er... Right.

Um... Well...

I've got a few slices of bread and a tiny bit of cheese.

And lots of eggs, for some reason.

-None of my usual favourites, I'm afraid.

-You should have a hot meal.

Doesn't look like we'll get one here. We'll sit and shiver...

Oh no!

Oh - just when I need to cheer up some tired, wet, hungry passengers,

I've got nothing to offer them.

I've really let them down. Where did the time go?

At 8 o'clock, I arrived at Granny Murray's with Lisa.

It had been raining, so they were playing at camping out indoors!

Lisa had a great time playing in the tent,

while I chatted to Granny Murray about camping and hiking.

Granny Murray told me she once went camping and someone forgot the food!

They only had eggs to eat.

At 9 o'clock, I arrived at my buffet car on the train.

Mickey John boarded with his hiking club.

They were planning on camping out on the moors.

At 10 o'clock, Mickey John and his club left the train.

They were very well prepared with waterproof clothes, maps, tents,

a stove and plenty of food to cook.

At 4 o'clock, I'd sold almost all the food in the buffet car.

There was hardly anything left for Dr Juno or myself.

At 5 o'clock, Mickey John boarded the train again.

He was worn out and cold. He told me that he'd lost his map,

his tent had collapsed and the food had been ruined.

The hiking club were hungry, but all I had left was a lot of eggs.

Now remember, it's amazing all the things you can do with an egg!

"It's amazing all the things you can do with an egg."

The one thing I do have is eggs.

So let's see if I can do something amazing!

Mickey John and the hiking club are cold and hungry,

so 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 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?

# As sure as he's your friend He'll get there in the end

# He knows what to do He'll work it through

-# I've got to do it

-He's gonna do it

# Beat the clock before the chime

-# I've got to sort it

-He's gonna sort it

# I've got to do the job on time

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

# I'll finish this job before I finish this song... #

BONG!

So that's scrambled egg, fried egg, eggy bread and omelettes.

And a nice big pot of hot tea.

-Here's some sauces and things.

-It looks lovely.

Tuck in, everyone!

-Thanks, Raymond.

-It's a bit like camping out indoors, isn't it?

Yes! What we need now is a campfire sing-along!

# She'll be coming round the mountain when she comes

# She'll be coming round the mountain when she comes

# She'll be coming round the mountain

# Coming round the mountain

# Coming round the mountain when she comes - two, three!

# Singing aye-aye yippy yippy aye... #

Phew!

Well, this came in handy today, Lisa.

Come on, Lisa, darling. Come and have some soup.

This'll warm you up when you have to go out in the rain later.

'I miss you Daddy.'

WHISTLE PEEPS

-Raymond!

-Hi, Granny Murray!

-Lisa, it's your dad.

-Hiya, Daddy!

Hi, Lisa! Have you had a great day with Granny Murray?

-We certainly did.

-Thank you.

-Ah, my wee angel!

And a big thank you from me too, Granny Murray.

I remembered what you said - it's amazing what you can do with an egg.

-It saved the day!

-Bless you!

Come on then, let's get you two home.

-Looking forward to next time.

-Me too. Come on, Lisa.

Let's talk about our time away.

And I suppose you'll want me to tell you about my time, too.

# Well, there was...

# Playing, creeping, jumping Painting, laughing, singing

# Hunting, hiding and turning round

# Dressing up and sitting down! #

But what was really special about today? Well...

Claude was dressed as a hiker. We played at camping out indoors,

because it was too wet to play outside. Lisa arrived with Raymond.

She loved the play tent!

Once Raymond had set off to work, I prepared some leek and potato soup

while Lisa and the children watched the rain running down the window.

Later, when the rain had eased off,

we wrapped up warm and put on our wellies to splash in the puddles.

We got all nice and wet which made drying off even better than usual.

Then we had some lovely warming leek and potato soup.

Meanwhile, Raymond remembered what I told him -

it's amazing all the things you can do with an egg!

He cooked up a storm in his little kitchen in the train's buffet car.

Mickey John and the hiking club were tired and hungry

so they were happy when Raymond served up all sorts of egg dishes.

Do you think splashing about makes a rainy day fun?

Me too!

Bye-bye, honeypie!
