The Chef 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 those 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. #

Seven o'clock.

# 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

-Sails are blue

# Time to call on Granny Murray

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

Me too!

Hello, honey pie! Come on 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 Brian and we've got Decca.

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

What have we got here?

We've got sea captain Brian, a firefighter, and what about me?

Will we swap over?

Oh, Decca, you look lovely! It goes with your dress.

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

But someone's missing today.

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

Oh, yes. It's Lisa with Raymond.

Hello there!

-Raymond!

-Hiya, Granny Murray!

And Lisa!

Oh, hey! Great hat!

-No hats for Claude?

-Oh, good idea!

Why not see how many hats you can pile on top of Claude's head?

We'll see how many different jobs poor Claude can do.

Ooh... Is that a sea captain's cap? I need that today.

-I'm swapping my train for the Ferryboat.

-There you are!

-Captain Mahoney!

-Ooh!

THEY LAUGH

So, tell me all about your trip, sailor.

It's the chance of a lifetime.

The train company are sending me on a master class

-with the famous chef Henri Jacques...

-Ooh!

..in his French restaurant!

-THE Henri Jacques?

-Oui, ze Quiche King.

Oh, what an opportunity!

You must be so excited!

I am! I wish I could think of a way to thank him.

I made him these train biscuits last night,

but I don't think he'll be very impressed.

You're right. The driver put too much coal in that engine.

Can you think of something I can give him?

You don't have to give a present.

There are many ways to say thank you.

Well, I'll think of something.

-I'm sure you will.

-Well, I better get off.

I'm meeting Mickey John.

He's showing me how to take pictures of all Henri's food.

Oh! Look at Claude.

Oh, well done, my darlings.

How many hats has Claude got on?

One, two, three, four, five...six!

-Daddy...

-Oh, thanks, Lisa!

A hat for me too!

Woo-hoo! I am ze great Raymondo, ze finest chef on the railway.

Well, I'll save that for my cookery class.

Thanks, Lise.

RAYMOND CHUCKLES

I'll see you later.

-I better get going.

-Come on, my flower.

Now, remember, there are many ways to say thank you.

-Thanks, Granny Murray. Have a fun day.

-Bye-bye, darling.

-I'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 a bit late for work today.

Can you tell me a quick way to get there? Thanks!

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

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

# I take a, take a ticket on the metro

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

# Hurry, hurry, hurry on the train lines

# Clatter, clatter, clatter at the points

# Whining, whining, whining drives the speed up

# Squeaking, squeaking, squeaking slows us down

# Clatter, clatter, clatter through the streets

# Now squeaking, squeaking to our stop

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

# I really, really need to get to work

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

Great. I've arrived.

So what next? Aha! Yes!

I have to change out of these clothes and put on my work clothes.

All dressed and ready to go. One more thing...

Ho-ho-ho-ho!

Now, I need to find my cookbook. Here it is.

I need to write down everything Henri teaches me.

Freeze! Gotcha!

-Oh! You caught me by surprise there.

-Here you go.

Oh, thanks, Mickey John.

It's got zoom lens, autofocus... Here, pretend I'm Henri Jacques.

Ooh!

Oh, thanks, Mickey John. This is fun!

Well, I'd better go. I got a school to get to. Au revoir, Raymond!

Au revoir.

Hmm... I wonder what you'll learn today, Lisa.

# 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.

'I'm thinking of you, Daddy.'

-Taxi for Robertson!

-Hi, honey bunch. I'm almost ready.

-Look at this hat Lisa gave me!

-That's fabby!

Oh, I made you some sandwiches.

-Thanks, love.

-And you need to wear this.

-Because it can get very blowy out at sea.

-I'll just get my coat.

I will miss you.

-Me too, but I'll be back tonight.

-Good.

Come on, let's be going. The Ferryboat won't wait for us.

-Oh, bye-bye!

-Oh, bye-bye!

-Bye-bye, bye-bye!

-Bye-bye, bye-bye!

-Oh, can't wait until you're home.

-I'll be back tonight.

Hi, Raymond! Can't stop. We're about to start work.

Enjoy the show!

Oh, I will do! This is the life.

It's not often I get to sit back and enjoy someone else doing their work.

-Time for us to get on with some...

-BOTH: Hard work!

Here at last! The Grande Quiche.

I hope Henri Jacques hasn't forgotten I'm coming.

Raymond! Oh, bonjour!

Welcome to the Grande Quiche. Mwah, mwah!

-Come to the kitchen!

-OK.

It's Henri Jacques, the King of Quiche! Ha ha!

Come on!

Today, it's busy busy, Raymond.

Henri Jacques will work quick, quick!

I hope you're a fast learner. A good chef has the hands of a piano player

and the arms of an octopus.

Excellent! Now I will show you how to make la grande quiche.

I will leave you to put it in the oven.

I must go to the dining room and welcome my customers.

This is great, I'm learning so much!

Oh! When I get home, I'll be able to cook a quiche all on my own.

And I know someone who'll be really glad about that - my Lisa.

# I love to skip in Riverseafingal

# Riverseafingal, that's for me. #

Woo-hoo-hoo!

OK, one more!

Yay!

Two strikes!

Good girl! Oh, I think Dad would love to play this game, wouldn't he?

'Where are you, Daddy?'

The dining room is busy busy busy!

And I, like a nincompoop, have given the waiter the day off!

So I only have time to teach you how to take the quiche from the oven.

-Ho-ho-ho-ho!

-Oooh... Ooh!

Voila! And that, Raymond,

is why Henri Jacques is the King of Quiche.

Oh, I better take a picture!

And now, I must say goodbye, au revoir.

-My customers need me.

-Before you go,

I'd just like to say thank you.

Ooh! Don't think he wants to talk to me.

Quiche, quiche, quiche, everyone wants quiche!

Monsieur, I just...

Excuse me.

-I'd just like to say...

-Not now, Raymond.

Can't you see I'm busy busy busy?

Poor Henri. He's in such a tizz.

I must have said something to upset him, what could that be?

I wanted to thank him for showing me how to make such a wonderful dish.

Where did the time go?

At seven, I took Lisa to Granny Murray's.

She wasn't impressed with my cookies for Henri Jacques.

At eight o'clock, I met Mickey John in the buffet car.

He showed me how to use his camera.

At nine, I said goodbye to Tina and boarded the Ferryboat.

The journey lasted three hours.

Luckily, Chuck and Louie provided entertainment.

At 12, I arrived at the restaurant, and was given a big welcome.

Henri was very busy, but showed me how to make a grande quiche.

I took photos and made notes in my cookbook.

And I got to put the quiche in the oven.

At one o'clock, Henri took the quiche out,

but then he had to dash off because his waiter was off,

and Henri served the customers by himself.

I didn't get to say thank you,

because Henri was busy rushing in and out of the kitchen.

Now, remember, there are many ways to say thank you.

"There are many ways to say thank you."

Of course! Henri isn't in a tizz because of me,

it's because he has to make the food

and serve the customers at the same time!

The best way I can say thank you

is to be the best waiter he's ever asked for.

Henri, I'm at your service!

And 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 going to do it? Do the job that needs to be done

# Will he know how to fix it? Will he finish what he has begun?

# Yes we're sure as we are friends He will get there in the end

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

# I've got to do it

# He's going to do it

# I've got to beat the clock before the chime

# I've got to sort it

# He's going 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... #

RAYMOND PANTS

Raymond, I must thank you.

You have saved my bacon.

No, no! Thank YOU for showing me how to make this wonderful dish.

But can I just take one more photo of you and me and the quiche?

Of course! Henri Jacques loves having his photo taken.

OK. I'll just set my timer.

Say cheese! Or should I say, fromage?

BOTH: Fromage!

Oh... Well, Lisa, I hope you've learned as much as I have today.

Ah... Are you getting puffed out?

No? I think Granny Murray's gonna tire herself out.

Ooh! I hope your dad's not too tired after his long trip away, Lisa.

'Where are you, Daddy?'

-Raymond!

-Hi, Granny Murray!

-Come on, Lisa, it's your dad.

-Hiya, Daddy.

-Hi, Lisa.

Have you had a great day with Granny Murray?

-We certainly did, didn't we?

-Thank you.

Oh, my wee angel!

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

I remembered, "There are many ways to say thank you."

It saved the day.

Oh, bless you. Come on, now. Let's get you two home.

-Looking forward to next time.

-Me too.

Lisa, let's talk about our time away.

And I suppose you'll want ME to tell you all about of my time too!

# Well, there was...

# Waving, greeting, hello, meeting

# Bye-bye, closing, wagging, dozing

# Eating, sleeping, fetching, sketching

# Painting, stretching, glueing, chewing

# Sticking up and wiping round

# Washing up and splashing down

# Then there was

# Hugging, squishing, walking, pushing

# Dancing, dusting, cheering, choosing

# Talking, cooking, drying, cleaning

# Saving, clearing, loving, joking

# Losing things and rushing round

# Picking up and putting down

# Then there was

# Laying, running, creeping, jumping

# Chasing, painting, laughing, digging

# Bathing, dressing, singing, swinging

# Rocking, sliding, hunting, hiding

# Jumping up and turning round

# Dressing up and sitting down! #

But what was really special about today?

Well, Claude was dressed in lots and lots of different hats.

Different hats for different jobs.

Lisa gave Raymond a chef's hat,

because he took the Ferryboat overseas

to learn about cooking from a famous chef.

I took Lisa to nursery, where she made pictures

with needle and thread. Soon she got it right.

At the same time as Lisa learned how to make pictures,

Raymond learned something new too - how to cook a delicious quiche.

He also learned that there are many ways to say thank you.

I hope you enjoyed yourself.

Me too! Bye-bye, honey pie.
