# 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 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!

# I'm gonna 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... #

Nine o'clock.

# Riverseafingal, that's for me

# Come on and get on down to the city

-# Where the ferry boat 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 got Rachel and we've got Gary.

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

Let's get busy! Come up, my darlings.

Have a seat.

We're going to make some lovely flowers. Well done!

We need some glitter. Wow! What do you think?

Aah!

Hee hee hee! Well, we've got Gary and we've got Rachel.

But someone's missing from home today.

Who's that? Whose legs are those coming down the steps?

Oh, yes! It's Lisa, with Raymond.

Hello, there!

-Raymond.

-Hiya, Granny Murray.

Oh, and Lisa!

..Take that.

-Look what we've been making, Lisa.

-Oh, what lovely flowers.

Oh, that gives me an idea.

Why don't you dress Claude up as a gardener? Yeah!

Good idea!

And we can...LEAF them to it for a minute!

Good idea...PETAL!

THEY LAUGH

THEY GIGGLE

GRANNY MURRAY SIGHS

-You're having a bit of a gardening day.

-Yes.

I'm taking them to visit my friend Marjorie.

She's been ill and not been able to get out in her garden.

I said we'd go round and help.

That's kind of you to give her a hand.

Not at all! It's fun to help.

And it's fun to say, "Thank you".

That's right.

I've got a thankless task today.

I'm working on the Picnic Express.

-Picnic Express?

-Mmm.

-That's the train to Laurevale.

-Oh, that's a pretty spot.

Lots of people don't clear up after themselves.

They come on the train with snacks and leave lots of mess.

-Oh!

-All over the train!

-Oh, dear!

I'd better get going.

You don't want to miss the Picnic Express! ..Oooh!

Claude, you are a real garden feature!

Well done, my treasures.

-Here's a flower, Daddy.

-Oh, thank you, Lisa.

A lovely flower from a lovely flower.

HE SNIFFS Atchoo! It's very realistic!

I'd better get to work.

Come on, then!

Bye, poppet.

Now remember -

it's fun to help.

Thanks. You guys have a fun day.

-Bye-bye. We'll be thinking of you.

-Me too.

Will you keep a wee 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

# I'm 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

# But can you show me the way I go?

# Hey! #

OK, which way?

Do I go left now, or 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! HORN HONKS

Hello, tank!

Hello, trolley!

Hello, plank!

Hello, lorry!

Hello, bank!

# He's on his way

# To work today

# Looking this way and that-a-way Hey! #

Do I go up now, or 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. #

Thanks for that! Now what? Oh yeah, I need to get changed for work.

All dressed and ready to go.

Oh... Ha ha!

HE SNIFFS Atchoo!

Oops-a-daisy.

Get it? Daisy! HE LAUGHS

Oh, dear!

Now, that should jolly up the buffet car a wee bit.

Now what?

Oh, I need to get the buffet car ready.

Oh, Raymond!

Tina, what are you doing here?

I was just passing and I knew you were on the Picnic Express.

So, I wanted to give you an important message.

Oh, what is it?

Mwah!

-That!

-Oh! Was that it?

No, there was something else as well.

-Mwah! That as well!

-RAYMOND LAUGHS

Mwah!

Oh! The train's started!

Och! Tina, you knew this train was leaving at 10 o'clock.

-What were you thinking?

-Oh. I don't know.

I didn't realise the time. I just wanted to... Oh!

You've got to stop the train.

There's no point in worrying.

You'll have to ride the Picnic Express to Laurevale.

My taxi - I've left it all alone.

Well, you parked it in the car park.

-Yes, but...

-Then don't panic. It'll be fine.

Stay calm and let me get on with work.

-Take a seat and I'll make you a nice cup of tea.

-All right.

Oh, poor Tina!

I hope Lisa's having a more successful day than her mum.

-Oh, Marjorie's garden's a wee bit untidy, isn't it?

-Yes.

Maybe we could help her by tidying it up a wee bit.

There we are, that's us. Well done.

Look at that beastie, everybody!

-Where?

-Over there, scuttling away. He's gone with his friend.

Look at all the leaves we've collected! There's Marjorie!

ALL: Hello!

We're doing really well.

-LISA:

-'I miss you, Daddy.'

Being as how I'm stuck on this train,

can I give you hand?

I'm fine. I'll get you that tea.

Oh.

Oh! What are you doing now?

I put the sandwiches into a neat pile.

Look, I have my own way of doing things.

Just take a seat, try and relax and drink your tea.

Oh, PLEASE let me do something for you!

It's better if I do things in my own way.

Sit down, try to relax.

I've gotta get on with my work.

(Phew.) Now I can get on with some real hard work.

# I love my train

# He loves his train

# Power rushes through the lines Pushes things far and wide

# Wheels go round and round the track

# Driving there and back

# I'm so happy being me

# Doing all the things I love to do

# Chocolate, lemonade or tea

# I'm just very happy serving you

# Oh, I talk, talk, talk all day Special moments on my way

# I'll tell a joke And toast some cheese on toast

# Oh, I walk, walk, walk all day Bringing smiles and happiness my way

-# Being nice is what I love the most

-Tickets checked, all looking fine

# Signal, "Go", we'll be on time Carriages rolling on behind

# Go, go, one by one in line

# I'm so happy being me

# Meeting all the people on the train

# Can I help you clear your things?

# If there is a problem, I'll explain

# Oh, I talk, talk, talk all day

# Wheeling trolleys Weaving tea this way

# I'll do a trick And make the journey quick

# Walk, walk, walk each way

# Loving all the things I do each day

# Bringing smiles and happiness my way

-# I love my train

-He loves his train.

-#

-What ARE you up to?

-Oh! I'm trying to give you a hand.

-There's piles of rubbish all over this train.

-I know.

-This is the Picnic Express - it's always a mess.

-I know!

When the train reaches Laurevale, I'll go through all the carriages

-and tidy them up one by one, on my own, the usual way.

-OK, sorry.

Sit down and enjoy the journey.

It makes a nice change from driving -

look out the window and... have another cup of tea?

-I've collected all this!

-Oh...

-Are you sure you don't want a hand? You've got so much to do and...

-Oh!

Please! I have my own way of doing things.

Just take your tea, have a seat and try and relax.

Right.

Oh, what a mess.

I wonder how Lisa's getting on in Marjorie's garden.

I hope it's a bit tidier than this.

Oh, Lisa, you're doing so well! Your daddy would be really proud.

I can see Daddy.

Look what I made!

It's a big flower to go with your other one.

-I made it out of used napkins.

-Thanks. Next!

-Tea, please.

-Milk and sugar?

No, thank you.

-That's another one to say sorry for being a pest.

-Thanks, love.

There you go.

-And that's another one...

-Tina!

I love you...

Me too, but I can't see my counter top for napkins!

I'm sorry, Raymond, I'm just so bored!

Argh! Tina, please, go and sit over there and just...

stay out of my way.

Oh, man!

I've been working hard all day, my train is a complete mess,

I've got to turn it round real quick, and poor Tina is bored and unhappy.

Where did the time go? CLOCK CHIMES

At 9 o'clock, I dropped off Lisa at Granny Murray's.

Granny Murray said she was taking the children to see her friend Marjorie,

so that they could help tidy up her garden.

I told Granny Murray that I'd be doing some tidying up myself,

working on the morning train to Laurevale.

I call this train the Picnic Express, because so many people

eat on the train and leave a mess.

Just after I arrived at work, Tina stopped by to see me.

But the train left at 10 o'clock and Tina was too late to get off.

Tina was in a bit of a state,

but I made her a cup of tea and tried to get her to enjoy the ride.

At 11 o'clock, Tina asked if she could help out.

I told her that I was used to working alone in my buffet car,

and I could manage on my own.

At 1 o'clock, Tina tried to help by picking up some of the litter.

She ended up making even more mess than before.

Tina made some flowers out of paper napkins,

but they just got in the way.

At 2 o'clock, when the train arrived at Laurevale,

I had a messy train and an unhappy Tina to deal with.

Now, remember, it's fun to help.

"It's fun to help."

Granny Murray was right.

I should have let Tina help all along.

Tina, I've got a new way of working.

-We'll work together, and it's gonna be fun!

-Thanks, Raymond!

Thank YOU. Now, we've got a train to clean up.

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 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 we are friends He will get there in the end

# He knows what he should do Hard work is due

-# I've got to do it

-He's gonna do it

# I've got to 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'm going to finish this job before I finish this song. #

-Phew! Oh, lovely.

-Thanks to you, Tina,

I've got the place cleaned up in double quick time,

and now I've got a five-minute break to relax

-before heading back to the city.

-Cheers!

-Oh,

and Lisa's flower! That makes it extra-lovely.

And a wee piece for you, my darling.

-Mmm, yummy!

-Tea?

Oh, thank you, Marjorie!

-And thank YOU all so much.

-Not at all, it's fun to help!

And it's fun to thank.

-GRANNY MURRAY CHUCKLES

-Right, my darling, eat your cake!

-Your daddy will be home to pick you up soon.

-'I miss you, Daddy.'

TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS

-Hello, Raymond!

-Hi, Granny Murray!

Come on, Lisa, Daddy's here!

-Hello, Daddy.

-Hello, my girl. Have you had fun with Granny Murray?

We certainly did, didn't we?

-What do you say to Granny Murray?

-Thank you.

Oh, it's a pleasure!

A big thank you to you from me too, Granny Murray.

I remembered what you said - "It's fun to help!"

-It saved the day.

-Oh, bless you!

Come on, let's get you home.

-Bye-bye, my darlings. I'm looking forward to next time!

-Me too.

Lisa, let's chat about our time away.

And 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. #

Phew!

But what was really special about today? Well,

Claude was dressed as a gardener,

cos today we went to see Marjorie to help her with her garden.

There was a great deal to do. When we had finished,

everything looked nice and neat.

It was fun to help Marjorie with her garden,

and she had fun saying, "Thank you".

She gave us a yummy tea.

Marjorie was pleased with her tidy garden,

and Raymond was pleased with his nice, tidy train.

Raymond made Tina a nice cup of tea to say thank you too.

Isn't it nice, when you can lend a hand?

-SHE GIGGLES

-I hope you enjoyed yourself.

Me too! Bye-bye, honey-pie!

# I love to skip in Riverseafingal Riverseafingal by the sea
