Double Booked 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 that 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

# Granny Murray's house is home to...#

Who's here today? Well, we've got Emma and we've got Beth.

But don't just sit there, my wee cherubs! Come on!

What's on Granny Murray's shelves today?

-Pick a number.

-Four.

One, two, three, four. Pick a colour.

Yellow.

Yellow! Oh!

Emma, when you grow up, you're going to be a cowboy!

-Yee-ha!

-Good girl.

-OK, Beth. It's your turn. Pick a number.

-Four.

One, two, three, four! Pick a colour! Three! OK!

You're going to be a chef!

Let's try on this chef's hat. Oh, very smart!

So that's your future sorted.

Well, we've got Emma and we've got Beth,

but someone's missing from home today.

Oh, not any more! Whose legs are those coming down the steps?

Oh, yes! It's Lisa with Tina.

-Hello, there!

-Tee hee!

Tina and Lisa! Come away through, honeypies!

Come on, cherubs! Whooo!

-We've been playing at fortune tellers, haven't we, girls?

-Yes.

Since you're here, Lisa, we'll do something new.

Why don't we all dress Claude up as a fortune teller?

You wouldn't need to be a fortune teller

to guess what we're going to do, Tina.

-Oh?

-Run over to the chairs! Come on!

Oh! Sometimes I wish I could see into the future.

It would be great to know who was going to ring up and order my taxi!

If you were a fortune teller,

you would know that I want to book your taxi for three o'clock today.

-Planning on going anywhere nice?

-No, the supermarket,

but I'll need a taxi to bring Lisa and myself home.

-Pick up Granny Murray...OK?

-Mm-hm.

..and Lisa from the supermarket at three o'clock.

Lovely. You can count on me to be there,

especially now that Raymond has set up a special organiser in my garage.

I write all the jobs I have to do on this card,

and then I drop it into the organiser, and hey presto!

That sounds more reliable than any of the fortune tellers I've been to.

I went to see this fortune teller called Mirabelle,

-and she said, "You will marry a man next week in Africa."

-How exciting!

Just after that,

I went to see another fortune teller called Cedric, and he said,

"Granny Murray, you are going to marry a man next week in America."

Who was right?

Just after that, I met my darling Angus,

and when I told him that I was going to marry a man in America

AND Africa next week,

he said, "You can't be in two places at once, so why don't you

"stay in Riverseafingal and marry me tomorrow?"

-Oh, how romantic!

-And I've never forgotten my Angus' words.

"You can't be in two places at once!"

Oh! Look at Claude!

Oooh! Oh, Claude, you look very mysterious!

-There you are, Mum.

-Oh, Lisa, thanks! It's your favourite purse!

You'll need to take good care of that.

I'll put something very precious inside this.

-Granny Murray's taxi booking.

-Oooh!

-I'll see you later.

-Come on, my darling.

-Bye!

Now, remember. You can't be in two places at once!

Thank you, Granny Murray. I'll see you later.

-Bye bye, my darling. We'll be thinking of you.

-Me too.

Will you keep a wee eye on Tina

and make sure she goes the right way to work?

I'd better hurry.

Could you tell me the fastest way for me to get to work?

TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS

Thank you!

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

# I need, need, need to speed to work

# I'll take, I'll take a ticket on the subway

# I'll 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 to our stop!

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

# I need to speed to work! #

Phew! Well, what now? Of course! I have to get ready for work!

-Hi, Rudi!

-Oh, hello, Tina.

Just popped in to see if your taxi's free to give me a lift.

Sure! Hop in!

Not just yet. I won't need it for about another hour. Is that OK?

Yeah, no problem. I'll pop your order into my new special organiser.

Come inside. Raymond made it for me.

Well, the organiser is a big board

with lots of slots cut into it for booking cards.

I'll pop along to the column marked Thursday,

and put your booking slip into the ten o'clock slot.

-So you should never miss another booking?

-That's the plan.

-I'll see you at ten.

-On the dot, Teen.

Well, I have no bookings until ten o'clock,

so I really should make a start on those taxi accounts.

Oh! Oh, wait a minute!

I've not put Granny Murray's booking slip into the organiser yet.

Now, where did I put it?

Oh, yes! I remember. Oh!

Sometimes I wish I had a crystal ball to see where you are right now, Lisa.

# I love to skip in Riverseafingal

# Riverseafingal, by the sea

# I love to skip in Riverseafingal

-# Riverseafingal, that's for me.#

-Some bananas! My favourite!

Do you like bananas?

Me too!

And olive oil. We'll need that to cook. Thank you. That's the way.

Stick it on, and to season, some salt and pepper.

That's the way.

Clever girl. I'm sure that's everything,

and once we've finished our shopping,

your mum will come in her taxi and pick us up, won't she?

What are you doing now, Mummy?

OK.

This receipt is for fuel.

And this receipt...oooh, it's for Lisa's new shoes. Whoops!

Oh, what next?

Oh, yes! I must remember to put Granny Murray's booking slip

-into the organiser.

-Hello, Tina. Are you ready to roll?

-Oh! Roll what?

Your taxi wheels, of course, silly!

Remember? I booked your taxi to take me across the town at ten o'clock!

Oh, yes, of course! I'm sorry, Rudi.

-If you'd like to follow me, your carriage awaits.

-Good stuff, Teen.

-Watch, Rudi, it's quite tight here. And there's the door.

-Thanks, Teen.

Let's hit the road! It's time I got on with some of my work!

# City roads are waiting

# Oh! Traffic lights are changing

# Police cars are cruising

# The trucks keep a-trucking

# And the city roads are waiting for me to take a drive

-# In my pretty pink taxi... #

-Taxi!

# People wave me down in my pretty pink taxi

# Get into the back and just relax for the ride

# Pretty pink taxi She's going for a dri-ive

# Look in the mirror Shift that gear

# Pull out to the busy lane My pink taxi takes the strain

# The radio calls up a taxi fare Who am I going to meet?

TOOT-TOOT!

# Looking for a job in my pretty pink taxi, o-oh!

# Whoo!

# Cruising in the city In my pretty pink taxi, yeah

# Drive, drive, drive

# In my pretty pink taxi

# Ride, ride, ride

# Where you wanna go... #

Taxi!

# Cos I need to take a drive In my pretty pink taxi

# People wave me down And relax for the ride. #

-Oh, Tina! Thank goodness I've caught you!

-Oh! Bobby, what's wrong?

Do you need a lift to work?

No, no. It's not for me. I feel so dreadful!

You see, I was supposed to book a taxi to take our boss

over to the Drumtown depot from ours, but I forgot.

Can you take him?

-Sure. What time do you want me to pick him up?

-Three o'clock.

No problem.

-Step inside a mo.

-OK.

Well, you see, Thursday at three o'clock, there's no cards,

-so yes, I can pick up your boss from the bus depot.

-Oh, thanks, Tina!

-That's a load off my mind.

-I'll just pop the card in there.

-Brilliant! Catch you later.

-Bye, Bobby.

Well, it's only two o'clock now,

so I should have time to finish these accounts

before I pick up Bobby's boss at the bus depot. Oh!

Oh! I wonder what you're up to right now, Lisa.

# I love to skip in Riverseafingal

# Riverseafingal, that's for me. #

Oh, yes, now. Olive oil, where would that be? Aha!

-This one here! What else do we need, my darling?

-Bananas.

Bananas, good! I know where to get them. Come on!

Bananas...bananas! There we are!

Now, that'll be enough, won't it, Lisa?

I bet you're a great help to your mum

when you go shopping, my darling!

Where are you, Mummy?

Well, that's the accounts finished for another month.

I'm sure there was something I was meant to do...

Of course! I'm supposed to pick Granny Murray and Lisa up

from the supermarket at three o'clock.

Oh, no! That slot's already been taken! Oh!

I've been working so hard all day to make sure everything runs smoothly,

and now it gets to three o'clock,

and I realise I have to pick up Granny Murray and Lisa

at the supermarket at the same time as Bobby's boss at the bus depot!

Where did I go wrong? Where did the time go?

At eight o'clock, I dropped Lisa off at Granny Murray's.

She helped the children dress Claude up as a fortune teller.

Granny Murray told me she hadn't had much luck with fortune tellers,

but she could be sure of booking a taxi with me for her and Lisa.

At nine o'clock,

Rudi popped in to book a taxi for ten o'clock.

I showed him how my new organiser board worked,

then I got busy on my taxi accounts. At ten o'clock,

Rudi arrived for his taxi booking, and I got down to work.

At two o'clock,

Bobby asked me if I could book a three o'clock taxi for her boss.

There was no booking for that time on the organiser, so I said yes.

At three o'clock,

I found Granny Murray's booking slip in Lisa's purse,

and realised that I've booked two taxi rides at two different places

at the same time!

Now, remember. You can't be in two places at once!

You can't be in two places at once!

Well, of course I can't!

Granny Murray was right. So what I have to do is find another taxi

to help me out if I'm going to do both jobs.

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're your friends She will get there in the end

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

# I'm going to do it

# I'm going to beat the clock before the chime

# I'm going to sort it

# I'm going 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...#

Taxi for Drumtown, sir!

I wonder how my little angel's doing.

Oh, there's...Oh!

Is that for us? Oh, Lisa, how exciting! In you go, darling.

A seatbelt and everything!

Thank you!

Oh!

There's the lollipop lady!

We'll soon be home, and your mum will be coming to pick you up soon.

Tina! Come away in.

Your mum's here, Lisa.

Oh, hello, Lisa!

-Hello, Mummy.

-Oh!

And I hear that you and Granny Murray have both had a fab day.

-We certainly have.

-Thank you.

-A big squeezy cuddle!

-And thanks from me too, Granny Murray.

I remembered what you said. You can't be in two places at once.

It saved the day.

I'm pleased to hear it. Come on, you two. Let's get you home.

Come on, Lisa.

-Bye bye, my darlings! Looking forward to next time!

-Me too!

-And raaargh!

-Raaargh!

-Come on, Lisa.

-Shall we go and talk about our time away?

-I enjoyed time away!

And I suppose you'll 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, glueing, chewing

# Sticking up and wiping round

# Dressing up and sitting down!

But what was really special about today?

Well, Claude was dressed as a fortune teller today,

because I've been playing a paper fortune telling game

with the children.

Tina and Lisa arrived, and I asked Tina if I could book her taxi

to pick Lisa and myself up from the supermarket.

Lisa and I had great fun working on our shopping list

before we set off for the supermarket.

At the supermarket, we used our shopping list

to remember what we needed to buy.

Tina sent a rickshaw to take both of us back to my house.

What a surprise that was, and what fun we had!

When Tina picked Lisa up, she said that my advice -

"You can't be in two places at once" - saved the day!

I hope you enjoyed yourself! Me too! Bye bye, honeypie!

# 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...#
