Changing Wheel 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 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. #

Five o'clock.

# 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 hello to you... #

Hello, honey pie!

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

# Granny Murray's house has two to play

# It's home to... #

Who's here today?

Well, we've got Ellie and we've got Shaun,

but don't just sit there, my wee fruit scones. Let's get busy.

What's Granny Murray got on her shelves today? Let's build a tower

that goes all the way up to Granny Murray's ceiling.

You keep building - see if you can get it right to the ceiling.

Well, we've got Ellie and we've got Shaun.

But someone's missing from home today.

Och, not any more! Who's coming home to Granny Murray?

Oh, yes! It's Kai with Bobby.

Bobby! Hello!

And Kai! My treasure! Come away through. In you come.

-We were building a tower and it was getting too high.

-Great!

-Kai's in a building and making things mood.

-Good!

-Dress Claude up!

Yes, why don't we? That's a brilliant idea, Ellie.

-Why don't we dress Claude up as a builder?

-Oh!

Oh! I can hear the works hooter just now.

-I think it's time the builders had a tea break.

-Oh, me too!

-'Ere's your tea, Builder Granny!

-Lovely brew! Thank you!

SLURP!

Me and Kai saw loads of building sites on the way to nursery today.

-So I got him this cool tool set.

-Oh!

-I've been lugging it around all day.

-It weighs a ton!

-It probably feels heavy if you've carried it all day,

-but some things feel bigger than they are.

-I suppose.

But check it out! Look - it's got all these different tools.

And the best bit is it's even got its own drill.

-I think you're in for a noisy evening, Granny Murray.

-That's OK,

-as long as he doesn't take my flat to bits!

-If he does,

-it looks like Claude could put it back together again.

-Yes!

Excuse me, Claudia! Oh, Claude!

-I've got a few jobs round the house that you could do!

-Me too! Oh, well,

-I'd best be off to get on with my own job.

-Here, Mummy.

-Oh, a builder's hat.

-Wear it when you're cleaning the buses.

Well, I don't think the inspector will like that, Kai. I tell you what,

-I'll wear it when I'm having my tea break. OK?

-Yes.

-Give us a kiss.

-I'll see you in the morning. Have fun.

-Come on!

Now remember, some things feel bigger than they are.

-Thanks, Granny Murray. See you later.

-Bye, darling.

-We'll be thinking of you.

-Yeah, me too.

You keep a wee eye on Bobby - make sure she goes the right way to work.

Oh, I'm a bit late today. How can I get to work quickly?

..Thanks!

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

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

# I'll take a, take a ticket on a bus

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

# Hurry, hurry, hurry through the bus lanes

# Rolling, rolling down the road

# Whining, whining drives the speed up

# Squeaking, squeaking slows us down

# Rolling, rolling through the streets

# And squeaking, squeaking to our stop

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

Hurry, hurry, hurry! But before I do anything,

I need to put on my work clothes.

All dressed and ready to go.

# London Bridge is falling down

# Falling down, falling down

# London Bridge is falling down

# Doo, doo, da-doo-doo... #

-Oh! Can I borrow a spanner, Bobby?

-Hi, Tina. What's up?

I've got a rattle under my taxi, so I need a spanner to fix it.

Oh! Well, I don't have much to do with the tools here,

-but there's a tool box there, look.

-Fantastic.

Oh, I'll try a couple of these spanners.

You will bring those back, won't you? Only the tools belong to the company

and the inspector might not like people borrowing them.

This is an emergency, Bobby. I've got a rattling taxi.

-I'll bring them straight back.

-Well, then, I'm sure it'll be OK.

These didn't fit. I'll try some more.

Not right. ..Aha!

Oh! This is an adjustable spanner.

Oh-h! This'll do the job...

I think.

Look at all of these tools.

Better get this lot cleaned up

before a bus drives over them and damages its tyres.

I dunno! This is worse than clearing up after Kai!

I wonder what he's up to.

# I love to skip in Riverseafingal

# Riverseafingal, that's for me! #

I'll just tighten this nut.

That's the way.

DRILLING

Are you enjoying yourself?

Me too.

-Granny Murray.

-Yes, my angel?

-That red thing will be off in no time.

-Could you do that for Granny Murray?

-Mm-hm.

-Thank you.

I don't know what we're building, but it certainly is good fun.

Your mum picked a great present, didn't she?

'What are you doing now, Mummy?'

Right, onwards and upwards.

-There you go, Bobby. I told you I'd bring your spanner back.

-Thanks.

-Did you manage to fix the rattle under your taxi?

-Oh, yes. Mended,

thank goodness.

Your inspector gave me a hand. He's nice, and he's good with a spanner.

There you go.

-I'll be seeing you, Bobby.

-Ta-ra, Tina.

Right, time for me to get on with some hard work

and make these buses spick and span.

# Bobby boogies As she cleans the buses

# Sponging Sweeping rubbish with her brushes

# Shining up the headlamps for the night-time show

# Bright and beaming buses

# Bye bye soon

# Cleaning while you're dreaming

# Making ready while you're in bed

# Gleaming while you're sleeping

# Dawn by dawn

# Lining up all shining

# They'll be leaving for the day ahead

# Ready to dazzle the day away

# Swing into the city looking pretty

# The hubcaps gleam The paintwork shines

# A Riversea double-decker Looks fine

# The driver drives Collecting the fares

# Leaving then arriving She'll get you there

# The bus stops Picks up, puts down

# This bus is shining It's the talk of the town

# Bobby boogies Flipping up or under

# Running round, scrubbing up She is a wonder

# Sticking up the posters As she wobbles on her toes

# She walks a moonwalk Wipes the windows

# Dusts by starlight Sparkles as she goes

# Polishing the buses

# So they'll all be gleaming for the day ahead. #

That's another one clean.

I think I need a cuppa.

-Ta-da!

-Hello, Bobby!

-Hello, Rudi!

-Hi, Louie!

-We've brought you something.

-It's for Kai.

-A present.

We remembered how be likes to build things and we had fruit boxes left.

-We thought of Kai...

-He'd like them.

-Yes.

That's really kind.

But what kind of things could Kai make out of wooden fruit boxes?

-Mm...ooh! Well, first, he could break them up into planks.

-Yeah.

-Hmm. That sounds a little bit dangerous for Kai.

-Oh!

-Hmm.

That sounds like my next bus coming in to get cleaned.

SMASH!

-And that sounds like fruit boxes being run over by a bus!

-Oops!

Back in a tick.

-Maybe Kai won't have to break them up into planks.

-There!

-Perfect for Kai to make something from.

-That's a stroke of luck.

I'll make sure there's no nails sticking out.

-Thanks, guys.

-All right. Bye for now.

-Bye!

-Bye.

Cor! You'll have loads of fun building things out of this, Kai!

My little builder.

-Oh! Are you nice and cosy, Kai?

-Yeah.

-Which story book would you like?

-All of them!

-ALL of them?!

We'll be here forever if I read all of them.

Let's see. Oh, wait a minute!

You want to build a house with them, not read them!

I suppose Mum won't mind for one night. Come on, then.

Let's get building.

BANG! Whoa!

What was that?!

Oh, my goodness. Maybe it's an earthquake.

Oh-h! I'm too scared to move.

What's going on?

Where did the time go?

At five o'clock, I dropped off Kai at Granny Murray's house.

The children were building towers and dressed Claude as a builder.

I told Granny Murray that Kai loved the building sites in Riverseafingal

and showed her tools I'd bought for him. At six o'clock, I got to work.

Tina wanted to borrow a spanner to fix her taxi.

She dropped spanners all over the bus depot. What a mess!

But she found the right spanner and mended her rattle.

At eight o'clock, Rudi and Louie brought some boxes from the market.

They thought Kai could use them to build things. Then a bus arrived

and it ran over the wooden boxes. But the boxes were better for Kai.

At nine o'clock, I climbed onto the top deck of a bus to clean it.

But I heard an awful hissing noise, then the bus shook

and it felt like it would fall over. Maybe it's an earthquake.

Now, remember, some things feel bigger than they are.

"Some things feel bigger than they are..."

Hmm! Granny Murray is right. When the bus tilted,

I was scared because it felt like an earthquake.

But now I don't think that's true.

Maybe the bus has just got a flat tyre because it ran over a box.

Yes!

It's just a flat tyre. So now all we have to do is to fix it. Come on!

It's a race against time.

# I've got to do it Got to do it

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

# I've got to sort it Got to sort it

# I've got to do the job on time

# Like a busy bee I'll beat that bong

# I'll finish this job Before I finish this song

# Do we think she's going to do it? The job that needs to be done

# Will she know how to fix it?

# Will she finish what she's begun?

# She will get there in the end

# Cos she knows what to do Works it through

-# I'm going to do it

-Going to do it

# I'll beat the clock Before the chime

-# I'm going to sort it

-Going to sort it

# I'm going to do the job on time

# Like a busy bee I'll beat that bong

# I'm going to finish this job Before I finish this song! #

Look! The bus has got a new wheel.

I can't believe how fast your team of mechanics can work. Is it safe now?

Yes, we've replaced everything.

Won't need these now.

Oh, thanks.

Oh, cool!

These are the old nuts which kept the old wheel on. Kai will love them.

Oh, I can't wait to see you later on, Kai.

We're going to do some brilliant building together.

You're fast asleep, my darling.

But you'll sleep better

if we take away this house of books you've built. That's better.

'Night, 'night, my wee builder.

Are you dreaming of Mum?

She'll be here in the morning to pick you up.

'I'm thinking of you, Mummy.'

-Bobby! Hello! Come away in.

-Hello, Granny Murray.

-Your mum's here, Kai.

-Hiya, Kai.

-Hello, Mummy.

-Oo-ooh!

-You look like you've had a smashing time.

-We sure have.

-Say thanks.

-Thank you.

-Bye, my treasure.

Thanks from me too, Granny Murray. I remembered what you said -

"Some things feel bigger than they are." It saved the day.

-It never did! Oho! Come on, let's get you home.

-Come on, Kai.

-That's the way. I'm looking forward to next time.

-Me too.

Come on, Kai. Let's chat about our time away.

And I suppose you'll want to know all about my time too.

# Well, there was...

# Waving, greeting

# Bye-bye, dozing

# Eating, sketching

# Painting, chewing

# Sticking up and wiping round

# Washing up and sloshing down

# Then there was

# Hugging, pushing

# Dancing, choosing

# Talking, cleaning

# Saving, joking

# Losing things and rushing round

# Dressing up and sitting down! #

But what was really special about today?

Well...

Claude was dressed as a builder,

cos the children and I were building big towers with blocks.

We all wore our hard hats like proper builders do.

Bobby showed me Kai's new tool set. It was brilliant!

Later, Kai and I used the tool set to put together some nuts and bolts.

All the tools were really useful.

And even when Kai went to bed, he was thinking about building things,

like a story-book house. But I took down the book house

in case Kai didn't know where he was when he woke up and got a fright.

Bobby had a fright when she was at work.

But she discovered some things feel bigger than they really are.

Everything worked out in the end.

Oh!

Turn this spanner and it's done.

I hope you enjoyed yourself.

..Me too! Bye-bye, honey pie!
