Explorers Nuzzle and Scratch: Frock and Roll

PAN PIPE MUSIC

# Here we are - Nuzzle and Scratch

# Best by far - Nuzzle and Scratch

# We're alpacas from the Andes

# With hooves instead of handies

# No two others can match Nuzzle and Scratch

# Nuzzle and Scratch! #

-Can you you get off my pillow, please?

-Scratch, what you doing?

-This is my end.

-Ha-ha-ha, stop it.

-Ow.

-Ow.

-Ow.

What are you doing?

We're camping, of course.

Why don't you join us? Would you care for a cup of tea?

It all looks very cosy in there, but we have got work to do.

The twins'll be here to collect their costumes.

What do they want to be today?

Today they want to be explorers.

Ooh! Explorerers. Real life explorerers.

Now that is exciting. Explor-ers.

You have no idea what explorers look like, do you?

-No.

-No.

Ah, there we go. Right, explorers.

Ooh!

I wish I could be an explorer.

'I'm the fancy dress genie, your wish is my command.'

Brilliant! I'll need clothes to help me explore the jungle.

'OK, there you go.'

'Hmm, nice moves.'

Hang on a minute, hold the tune, I can't explore while I'm dancing.

'Oh, yes. Had a bit of a genie jam there. Let's try again.

'One explorers costume coming right up.'

That's better. Thanks.

'You'll need a matching explorers hat and fully packed rucksack too.

'Now you're an explorer.'

Brilliant.

-Wow, explorers have lots of stuff.

-Hmm.

'Explorers discover and, er, explore.

'You never know what you might find.'

NUZZLE AND SCRATCH GASP

Hello there, explorer.

'There you are, a fancy dress costume

-'for a fancy dress party.'

-Yes.

-The twins will love being explorers.

-Yeah, they will.

Right, well you two go and find the costumes, I'll open up the shop.

OK, captain.

# Dressing up is fun You could be anyone

-# A monkey

-Or a queen

# Every costume you can dream

# Everybody knows that wearing different clothes is fun

# Dressing up is fun. #

Ah!

-Boo!

-Oh!

-Boo!

-Argh!

Ha-ha-ha-ha!

-# Dressing up,

# So raise your hoovey if you know what you'll wear today

# What will you wear today? #

Ha-ha-ha-ha.

BOTH: We're explorers!

THEY GIGGLE

Ooh, look at you.

Have you found those costumes yet?

-Yes we have, Captain.

-Good, the twins'll be here soon.

Right.

Oh, crumbs.

Problem, Captain?

I'll say there is. The hold's empty, lads.

-We're fresh out of sponge fingers.

-BOTH: No sponge fingers?

Yes. You know how I like my sponge fingers with my tea.

Why don't you two sail out to the sponge fingers shop.

Get some fresh supplies.

-Aye, aye, captain.

-We're on our way.

BELL RINGS

Oh! Oh, I say, hold on.

HE SIGHS

Ah, well. Two alpacas dressed as explorers

gone to buy sponge fingers, what could possible go wrong?

Do we have everything we need, explorer Nuz?

Yes. All packed up in my explorer back pack.

-Ah, OK. Tent?

-Yeah, got it.

-Sleeping bag?

-Got it.

-Explorers lunch?

-Ha-ha!

-Had it!

-What do you mean, "had it"?

I had it. I was a bit peckish back there.

We'll never get all the way to the sponge finger shop over there

if we haven't got any food.

Oh! Oh, no. Well, what are we going to do?

THEY SIGH We must find some explorers lunch.

Good idea, explorer Scratch.

Let's try over there.

Yeah, come on then, over there.

SCRATCH GIGGLES

-Nice.

-Yeah.

Oh! Ha-ha-ha.

Oh, what's this?

Explorer Nuz, I do believe you've found an ancient map.

An ancient map?

This old map is just what we need to help us find our explorers lunch.

Explorers love old maps.

Well, look, Scratch, maybe we'll find some lunch there

by that knife and fork picture.

-You see, you use a knife and fork when you eat.

-Ah, yeah, yeah.

It's worth a try. Come on, explorer Nuz. Let's get exploring.

Ha-ha-ha! Explore, explore...

Excuse me, where are you going, Nuz? Where are you going?

-Down the path.

-Explorers don't go down paths, Nuzzle.

They go through bushes, over mountains,

across deserts and jungles.

OK then. Well, I hope we don't get lost...

explorer Scratch.

Don't worry, we've got the map. We won't get lost.

OK.

Tree...there's another tree over there.

Nuzzle, I think we're lost.

Lost?

Lost in the middle of a jungle!

Oh, no!

Don't panic, Nuzzle.

I can't help it. I'm panicked.

-No, please don't.

-Panic! We're lost...in a jungle...

I'll play my bugle.

Jazz free form.

PLAYS OUT OF TUNE

-I'll play some more, that'll help.

-What is all this noise?

Look, another explorer.

-Oh, hello.

-Hello.

No bugles! You'll frighten all the animals.

-Did you hear that?

-Yeah.

-No bugles.

-No, not that. The explorer lady said

we'll frighten all the animals.

You mean there are wild animals in this jungle?

Well maybe she just means little things

like cute hedgehogs and fury snails.

I don't think so, explorer Nuz.

Argh! Look!

Huh?

I can see a lion...

a tiger...

oh, and rabbits.

Ha-ha! What a busy jungle.

We're going to have to be very careful in the jungle.

Rabbits eat explorers like us for lunch.

-I thought they ate carrots?

-Yeah, they eat those things as well.

GROWLING

Explorer Nuz, what was that noise?

-It sounded a bit like the l-l-lion.

-Argh.

And lions eat explorers for breakfast and lunch!

GROWLING

BOTH: Lion, run!

THEY SQUEAL

Oh...

Nuzzle!

-GASPING

-My ankle. Go on without me, Scratch.

-I don't want to slow you down.

-No way, Nuz.

Explorers always look after each other, besides,

we've come this far together, I'm not leaving you now.

-Come on.

-Thank you, old friend.

-Come on, that's it.

It was so handy finding a wheelbarrow in the middle of the jungle.

How's your ankle, Nuz?

Not too bad, thanks.

Ah, good. Any sign of that lion, Nuzzler?

No lions. Just zebras and camels.

GROWLING

Argh! There's that growling sound again. It's very close.

It's not a lion, it's your tummy rumbling!

Oh, yeah. We better find that lunch soon, I can't go on much longer.

All we have to do is find the knife and fork.

You're right, Nuz. We'll be tucking into an explorers lunch soon enough.

Well, I wonder what food they serve in the jungle.

Oh, exotic jungle food stuff like scotch eggs, I imagine.

-Scotch eggs?

-Yeah, chopped egg surrounded by meat.

The whole thing looks like an orange ping pong,

but don't use it for ping pong, that gets messy.

I don't understand! I unloaded the straw here, but when I turned...

SHE SCREAMS

Wow, did you hear that? Sounds like some kind of monkeys.

Yeah, well it is a very busy jungle.

Yeah. You better walk from here, Nuz.

I don't think our explorer vehicle will get up those jungle steps.

Looks bumpy.

-Argh, the lion!

-Quick, run!

-Which way? Oh, this way.

THEY GASP AND SCREAM

My wheelbarrow!

THEY PANT

Oh, that was close.

The sooner we can get this lunch and get back to the shop, the better.

-Let's check the map again.

-Yeah, map, map.

-Right then.

Oh, if only we could find this man and this lady here.

They might be able to tell us where the knife and fork is

so we can have our explorers lunch.

You know, I wish the captain was here to help us.

-He'd know where to find them.

-Yeah, he's probably to busy in the shop

to come exploring with us.

Right, so... I'll be with you...

There you go, sir. Thank you very much.

Would you like a bag for this one?

Have a lovely party, everybody.

HE SIGHS

Peace at last.

Ah. Oh!

BOTH: Hello, Captain.

Hello, twins.

-We've come for our costumes.

-Yeah, where are they?

Good question.

Nuzzle, Scratch, where are you?

Oh, all this exploring business is hard work.

-It certainly is, Nuz. Let's take a rest on this jungle bench.

-OK.

It looks like this knife and fork is very near by.

-We'll soon be having our explorers lunch.

-Yeah.

There...is that pathway

and there's that bush over there.

-And here's the jungle bench we're sitting on.

-Yeah.

Oooh! Snake.

You want to play snakes and ladders now?

No, no, no. Snake!

THEY SHRIEK

Some lovely fresh water for the wallabies.

Oh.

Nuzzle, you've dropped your bag on the snakey.

He's going to be very unhappy.

Sorry, snakey. It was Scratch. He made me jump.

SHE SCREAMS AND SPLUTTERS

Ah, sorry, snakey.

Bye. Come on, let's find our explorers lunch.

Excuse me, explorer coming through.

Explorer number two coming through.

Sorry, explorer lady.

-Er, Scratch.

-Yes.

-Isn't that no bugle lady?

Oh, yeah. I think we better help her, Nuzzle.

She's stuck in our explorer vehicle.

-Good idea, Scratch.

-OK.

Hello, Mrs No Bugle Explorer Lady, sir.

You can call me Maxine.

Oh, yeah, OK. Max Bean, let us help you out.

-There we go.

-Thank you.

I'm having a bit of a day of it. Are you having a fun day?

We are having a fun day, thank you for asking.

Yeah, we're having a fun day being explorers.

Yes, exploring the jungle.

We're looking for our explorers lunches.

If you're looking for food, head for the Jungle Cafe.

Look out for the knife and fork sign.

Be quick, it'll be closed soon.

Oh, come on, Nuzzle, let's go.

-Bye.

-Laters, Max Bean.

-We're very good explorers, aren't we?

-We are explorers, Scratch.

BOTH: We're ready for anything.

# Here we are And this is how we're dressed

# Here we are We're smarter than the rest

# When a task needs doing These are the costumes that are best

# Here we are A groovy looking pair

SQUAWKS

# Here we are We're working here and there

ROARS

# When a task needs doing These are the costumes that we wear

# Boom, boom boom, yeah. #

SCRATCH GIGGLES

If the captain knew that we were exploring a jungle with tigers

and rabbits and monkeys, he would be so proud of us.

Yeah. Ha-ha. I wonder what he's up to?

He's probably having a nice cup of tea with the twins.

-Where are our costumes?

-Your costumes?

Oh, yes, of course, your costumes. Yes.

Well, if you're going to be explorers,

you'll need lots of explorer stuff.

You'll need a tent and sleeping bags and, erm, a wellington, of course.

Erm, a recorder - play a tune around the old camp fire - erm...

some marshmallows - cook those round the camp fire as well -

and, of course, Little Ted, in case you get a bit lonely at night.

-We want our costumes.

-Yes.

Of course you do.

I'll just go and get them.

Not far now.

RINGING

-Oh, the phone.

-Hello.

-'Scratch.'

-Oh, hello, Captain Crocodile.

SO nice to hear from you.

Where are you? The twins are wanting their costumes.

We're in the jungle, miles from anywhere, but we only have to find

our explorers lunches and then we'll be back.

I need those costumes and fast.

Don't you worry. We'll be there in no time. Ha-ha-ha.

Hurry up and don't forget the sponge fingers.

Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye.

Jungle?

Scratch, Scratch, there's a knife and fork

just like the one on the map.

-'Ere, have a look.

-OK.

Ah, that must be where we'll find our explorers lunches.

Ah! Oh, no!

-More jungle explorers.

-Let's have a look.

-OK, hang on. There you go.

And they've got maps just like ours.

They must be looking for their explorers lunches too.

There's so many of them. There won't be any food left.

-Let's find those lunches, Scratch, and quick!

-Let's go!

To lunch, to lunch.

We're getting close.

Glad you had a nice time at the wildlife park. Come back soon.

-Scratch, we've done it.

-Hurray, we found the knife and fork.

Time for our explorers lunches.

They've got ice-creams, sausage rolls, sandwiches and...

scotch eggs!

-Sorry, boys, the Jungle Cafe is closed.

-What?

And the wildlife park is about to close.

SCRATCH GIGGLES

Well, we're in the jungle, not the "wildlife park".

No, we're not!

We're in the wildlife park.

Oh.

THEY GRUMBLE

BOTH: We're in a wildlife park!

And you're just in time to help me feed the limas.

But what are we going to eat?

We still haven't had our explorers lunches.

If only there was a jungle bakery. We could get sponge fingers.

There isn't a bakery, but there IS a sponge finger shop just over there.

Oh! OK, Max Bean, we'll get the sponge fingers,

you get the limas.

Wow, look at him. He's like a parrot on pirate's shoulder.

But you're not a pirate and he's not a parrot.

-The limas love their lunch.

-Yeah, and we love our sponge fingers.

This is what I call a proper explorers lunch.

-Sponge finger, Max Bean.

-Don't mind if I do.

There you go. Don't give any to the lima, though.

We better save the rest for Captain Caterpillar.

And we better get these costumes back to the shop.

The twins will be waiting.

-Yeah and we don't want to keep them waiting.

-No, siree.

-Bye, then.

-Bye.

Thanks for helping me feed the limas. Bye.

Bye, limas. Bye, Betty. Bye, Barbara.

Ha-ha! Betty and Barbara.

Their tails are like zebra crossings.

SHE SIGHS

CLOCK TICKS, CAPTAIN GULPS

MONKEY LAUGHS

-Time's up, Captain.

-But...

Nuzzle! Scratch!

Twins!

-Here are your costumes.

-Yeah.

Thank you, Scratch.

Thank you, Nuzzle.

-Toodle-oodles.

-Bye.

-Bye, then.

-Bye.

-Bye.

CAPTAIN SIGHS

Wow, we saw so many different animals in the jungle.

Tigers, zebras and rabbits.

Oh, yeah. Some people would have been afraid,

but we weren't afraid at all, were we, Scratch?

No, no, no, we were not afraid at all.

Sponge finger?

-Argh!

-Argh!

-Bzzz!

-Argh!

-Bzzz!

Oh, Captain.
