The Line Song Swashbuckle

# A band of naughty pirates Took some jewels from me

# I hid on board their pirate ship And sailed off out to sea

# But they weren't watching where they went

# And shipwrecked on the sand

# I want to win my treasure back Will you give me a hand?

-ALL:

-# Hey-ho, Swashbucklers, go Take on the pirates, yo-ho-ho!

# Hey-ho, Swashbucklers, go Take on the pirates, go, go, go! #

-Will you help me win my treasure back?

-AUDIENCE:

-Yeah!

-Shall I make the pirates walk the plank?

-AUDIENCE:

-Yeah!

Well, let's hear you, then, me hearties!

# Hey-ho, Swashbucklers, go Take on the pirates, yo-ho-ho!

# Hey-ho, Swashbucklers, go Take on the pirates, go, go, go! #

Swashbuckle cheer!

-ALL:

-Arrr-harrr!

Ahoy there, my hearties.

Welcome aboard the Scarlet Squid for Swashbuckle!

Arrr-harrr!

My name is Gem and it's great to have you all aboard!

Are you ready for a rip-roaring pirate adventure?

-Arrr-harrr!

-Brilliant!

And will you help me to win back my jewels

from those very naughty pirates?

-Arrr-harrr!

-OK.

Have you seen Captain Sinker anywhere?

-Boo!

-There she is!

Oh, boo all you like, nothing's going to distract me today...

-# La, la, la... #

-..from beating those Swashbuckl...

What is that awful sound distracting me?

It had better not be Cook and...

# Line, Line, Line, Line, Line Line, Line

# Line, Line, my name's Line

-BOTH:

-# Yes, Captain Sinker, sir I mean, ma'am!

# Yeah, yeah! #

What's got into you? You're even more annoying than usual.

We found these shells - they make brilliant instruments!

And when I hear music, I just have to SING!

I've just had an idea -

-I'm going to write my own song!

-And I can play the instruments!

Owww!

Well, I suppose you could write a song about a brave,

-good-looking pirate...

-I think she means you, Line.

Good idea, Captain, I'll write the song all about...

# ME! #

Would you stop all this singing?

Go and get ready for the first game.

Hey, Sinker, maybe my Swashbucklers will be singing a victory song later

if we win back all my jewels

Squawk, let's meet them.

Playing today, we've got four daring Swashbucklers.

Sally is six and loves doing jigsaw puzzles.

Maybe it'll be the pirates that end up puzzled today.

Her Swashbuckle name is Seahorse Sally.

Next, it's Ben.

Ben is also six and can't wait to be on Team Swashbuckle.

His Swashbuckle name is Buccaneer Ben.

Meet Noah! Noah is six and likes to play with his dad.

That's good practice for meeting those naughty pirates later.

His Swashbuckle name is Captain Noah.

Finally, here's Isabel.

Isabel is six and loves joking around with her sister.

Hopefully, the joke will be on Captain Sinker today.

Her Swashbuckle name is Scallywag Isabel.

CHEERING

Welcome aboard to my brilliant brand-new team of Swashbucklers.

You will help me win back my jewels from Captain Sinker.

I need to make sure you are ready by doing the Swashbuckle Salute.

So, let me see you marching.

Put your hand on your hearts!

-Here we go! Eye patch.

-AUDIENCE:

-Eye patch.

-Pirates' hats.

-AUDIENCE:

-Pirates' hats.

Swashbuckle cheer!

-AUDIENCE:

-Arrr-harrr!

Well done, we are ready. So, Squawk, what do we have to do today?

You daring Swashbucklers need to work as a team as you take part

in different pirate games!

Every time you win a game, Captain Sinker will give you a jewel

for your treasure chest! Win all five jewels,

and one of the naughty pirates will walk the plank

-into the ship's mess!

-AUDIENCE:

-Eurrrggghhhh!

-AUDIENCE:

-Eurrrggghhhh!

And here is our treasure chest, Swashbucklers, so when you win back

my jewels from naughty Captain Sinker,

we'll pop them in here to keep them safe.

TAUNTING: You'll never get my jewel! You'll never get my jewel!

-AUDIENCE:

-Boo!

-The first game is a challenge.

-TAUNTING:

-Well, we're ready for it. So, bring it on!

The first game is...

The aim of the game is to knock over all ten targets.

All you have to do is collect the soft green cannon balls,

load them in the cannons and fire them.

But be careful, Cook and Line will be sneaky and try to stop you.

Here is a green squashy ball to play the game with,

not these yellow and blue ones

that Cook and Line put in there to try and confuse us.

Sally and Ben, you have to collect the green squashy balls for me.

Noah and Isabel, you fire the cannons.

Look out - Cook and Line will be trying to put you off

with their funny dancing or operatic singing.

You have as long as it takes for the octopus to reach out

across the screen and close the treasure chest to play the game.

So, team, are we ready to play?

TEAM: Arrr-harrr!

Then, Swashbucklers, away!

Here we go. That's it. Come on.

Well done! Brilliant, Isabel, we've got our first one down.

Nine more to knock down.

I told you to stop singing!

That's it, line them up. Brilliant! Another one down.

Good work. Sally, go collect some more balls. That's it!

Yeah! Another one down.

That's it, come on.

Oh! Look out. Look at Line.

Looks like a meerkat.

Squish it in there.

And look out. Oh! You nearly got Line on his head.

They're doing too well!

Yeah-ha! Well done.

Yeah, another one!

This is fantastic! Four more. Oh, that was a close one.

It bounced off a wave.

Yeah! Good work, Noah. Brilliant!

That's it, Sally, pass Noah the ball. Good girl.

Let's get those balls firing.

-Incoming!

-A barrel, Line?!

-Oh, that was a close one.

-That was so close.

-Get in the way!

That's it. Oh, that was a bit too high, that one.

Let's collect some more balls. Yeah, brilliant, Noah!

20 seconds left and two more to knock down, we can do this.

That's it, line them up. Now fire.

Yeah! One more, come on.

Come on. It's the last ten seconds.

Nine, eight, seven,

six, five, four,

three, two, one...

Oh-ho-ho-ho!

That was so close! Well done, Swashbucklers.

Squawk, you've got the bird's-eye view, over to you.

Those ships and sea monsters weren't standing for long.

Eagle-eyed Isabel got the first one down straightaway.

Naughty Line tried all his tricks - singing, being a meerkat

and catching the balls in a barrel.

But with only one sea monster left, Noah tried again,

and again, and again.

It was close, but I'm afraid, Gem, you lose.

Oh, Swashbucklers, it was so close. We nearly made it.

But don't worry, we can still win that jewel back later.

TAUNTING: You didn't win the jewel! Oh, music to my ears. Ha, ha, ha!

We might the singing for joy later, Captain Sinker,

if we win back all five of my jewels, and then one of you...

# La, la, la, la, la... #

One of you naughty pirates will have to walk...

# La, la, la, la, la... #

-What is that noise?

-# La, la, la, la, la... #

Just doing my scales.

# I love slopping out

# I love slopping out

# Slop, slop, slop

-# Slop! #

-AUDIENCE:

-Ew!

# I love slopping... # Aaaah!

Captain Sloppy! I mean, Sinky.

-I mean...

-Sinker, yeah.

I thought I said no more singing.

But, Captain, I almost finished writing my own song about...

# ME! #

-And I play the drums.

-You mean, you bang the buckets.

-Yes, I do!

Come on, Captain Sloppy, we want to play another game and try

and win back one of my jewels. So, Squawk, what is the next game?

The second game is...

The aim of the game is to put the toy sea creatures in the baskets.

All you have to do is climb the tangled fishing net

and collect them.

But be careful, pearls will be poured on to you

and Cook or Line will swap the creatures around.

-AUDIENCE:

-Boo!

And here are the pictures of the soft sea creatures that

you need to collect. We have a lobster, an octopus

and a seahorse.

There are six in total you have to collect from the tangled net.

But do look out - Cook and Line will try to put you off.

Line especially might try and switch them over in the baskets.

Noah, Isabel and Ben,

you are going to be climbing up the tangled net for me.

Sally, you have the important job of popping them into the baskets.

So, are we ready to play?

TEAM: Arrr-harrr!

Then, Swashbucklers away!

Come on, then.

That's it, climb on up. Climb on up.

That's it, beat those pirates.

Oh, what are you going to go for?

Oh, well done, Isabel.

She's got an octopus.

-Ben, are you ready to go up when Isabel comes back?

-Hi!

Don't come near me!

Thank you for my treasure!

So we have got our first octopus down. Come on!

There we go. Brilliant, well done!

OK, we've got the second octopus down. And up you go.

We have also got the lobster, brilliant.

Climb a bit higher. Come on!

Well done, Isabel. Oh, look out!

All those pearls, they are falling everywhere.

Line, use the crab claw.

-ISABEL:

-Line!

We still need to get a seahorse at the top and a lobster.

Well done, Isabel.

Great work, Sally, keep an eye on that cheeky Line.

Come on, guys!

They still have to get the seahorse.

Well done, Noah, bring the lobster down.

Come on, Ben. Keep going!

As quick as you can, we're running out of time!

That's it, off you go. Well done. Isabel!

Isabel, can you go right to the top? We need to get the last seahorse.

And, Noah, you can climb up as well.

Let's see who can get it.

We are running out of time!

You can't reach the seahorse in time!

They'll never do it now!

Last ten seconds are coming up. Come on, guys!

Ten... You have to get all the way down. Eight, seven, six...

Run as fast as you can! Four, three, two...

Yes!

Well done! That was amazing.

Squawk, you've got the bird's-eye view, over to you.

These guys are brilliant!

What a tangley game!

Noah climbed to catch an octopus

and Sally delivered it in style.

The tentacle was almost at the chest with a seahorse still to get.

Then Isabel rocketed all the way to the top

and back down and zoomed to the basket just before the bell.

Well done, team, you win!

Yes! We did it!

Well done, my hearties.

We've won back our first jewel. So, Captain Sinker,

-you know the rule...

-ALL:

-Send down a jewel!

Yes, I know the rule. You can have your silly jewel.

Yeah!

We've got a jewel back! Look at that, it's the red one.

There you go, Isabel, put it in the chest, please.

Brilliant! Yeah!

Ugh, Line is singing again.

Right, I am off to sort this out, once and for all.

# Oh, oh, ooooh

# Oh, yeah, girl, girl... #

What have I told you about singing?

I've finished my song, Captain!

You are not still going on about that, are you?

Look at all the instruments I've found.

Stop that!

Please let me sing it, Captain, please!

Just one song and I promise I'll never sing again.

OK, OK. Promise!

-BOTH:

-Promise!

One, two, four, nine.

Let's get this over with, then.

# My name is Line And this is my song

# Don't worry, Captain It's not that long

# I love to dance And I'm really good at singing

# And my friend Cook does all the tinging

# Arrr-harrr, arrr-harrr

# Singing the Line song Singing the Line song

# Arrr-harrr, arrr-harrr

# Singing the Line song Singing the Line song

# Singing is such fun It just can't be wrong

# Dance the dance And sing-a-ling-a-ling along!

# I wear a red bandanna And I like to eat jelly

# Don't smell my socks cos they're really, really

# Smelly!

# I've got a black beard and I'm very, very tall

# If I think too hard I usually... #

What rhymes with tall?

Oh!

# Arrr-harrr, arrr-harrr

# Singing the Line song Singing the Line song

# Arrr-harrr, arrr-harrr

# Singing the Line song Singing the Line song

# Singing is such fun It just can't be wrong

# Singing is such fun And I just can't stop

# And I love it

# He loves it

# When Sinker gets covered in

-# Slop! #

-Aaah!

So what do you think of my song, Captain?

-AUDIENCE:

-Eeeeew!

Swashbucklers, you've won back the red jewel,

but we need to find the other four so one of those pirates

walks the plank. So to get us ready for the shipwreck rummage,

let's do this Swashbuckle Salute one more time.

Let me see you all marching!

Put your hand on your hearts!

-Here we go! Eye patch.

-AUDIENCE:

-Eye patch.

-Pirates' hats.

-AUDIENCE:

-Pirates' hats.

Swashbuckle cheer!

-AUDIENCE:

-Arrr-harrr!

Arr-harrr, fantastic.

The aim of the game is to collect the rest of Gem's jewels

that had been hidden around the shipwreck.

Use the map because X marks the spot where

each of the jewels can be found.

But be careful, Cook, Line and Captain Sinker have hidden the

jewels well and they must all be in the chest before the time runs out.

ALL: Yay!

OK, my hearties, we need to find the other four jewels.

Let me show you where they are.

Up on the top deck, the green jewel is in one of

Captain Sinker's treasure chests.

Then, on the middle deck, the white jewel is somewhere in the laundry.

And on the lower deck, the purple jewel is in the hammocks.

And the blue jewel is somewhere in the rope store.

Now, girls, you are going first, so which colour will you go for?

The blue one? All right. Are we ready to play?

-ALL:

-Arrr-harrr!

Then, Swashbucklers away! Here we go.

We're off. It is going to be a cracker of a rummage.

Where has Isabel gone? There she is.

She has already got the blue jewel.

Brilliant, already!

So that's the blue one. Boys, where are you going?

The green one at the top?

That's it, off you go, boys.

Well done, girls. Excellent.

Woo-hoo!

Cook is doing his best to stop them, but up races Noah and Ben.

There's three more jewels to find.

They've got to get to the top deck.

-It is a long way up.

-Stay together, boys!

Noah has gone straight for the green.

Girls, you need to go next, which colour are you going for now?

-Purple.

-The purple one? All right.

-Here they come. Along the deck and down the slide.

-Brilliant.

Come on, Ben, don't worry about Cook, keep going.

-Well done.

-Ben has got something to smile about, he's got the jewel!

Great work. It goes in there.

Sally and Isabel are heading back into the shipwreck to the hammocks.

What's that terrible noise? It is Line still singing!

-As he tips fish on the hammocks.

-Just over halfway now, team.

-Yes, the girls have grabbed the purple jewel.

-Brilliant.

Boys, get the last one for me - the white one in the laundry.

That's it, Sally. Well done, Isabel. Off you go, boys.

Yeah!

Great work. Pop it in the chest.

Just the white jewel to find now.

As the purple makes it back in the chest.

It is somewhere in all that washing hanging out to dry.

Oh, it has fallen out! But Noah has got it.

Now, back to the chest, boys, quick as you can.

That's it, well done, Noah. Come on, Ben. Let's get it in the chest.

Yes!

Brilliant, Swashbucklers.

Good work. Squawk, you've got the bird's-eye view, over to you.

Well, that has put a smile on Gem's face.

Isabel bagged the blue from the rope store.

They were great grins with the green jewel.

Smiley faces after finding the purple.

And speedy sliding to get the white back to the chest.

The Swashbucklers were pitch perfect, Gem.

That's a win!

Yes! We made it. Well done, Swashbucklers.

We won back all five of my jewels. Thank you so much.

So now I can hand them out to you to hold on to.

-Sally.

-Thank you.

-You are so welcome.

-Isabel.

-Thank you.

-That's all right.

-Red one for you, Ben.

-Thank you.

-That's OK.

-And a purple one for you, Noah.

-Thank you.

-Thank YOU!

And a blue one for me. Let's hear it for my Swashbucklers!

So now we have all of my jewels, you know what it is time for?

One of those naughty pirates has to walk the plank.

But who's it going to be? Let's spin the wheel to see.

Off you go, Noah.

Is it going to be Cook with the white hat?

Line with a red bandanna?

Or Captain Sinker with the black hat?

It is a very good spin.

It is going to be...

..Line!

-So, Line, it is time for you to...

-ALL:

-Walk the plank!

-I don't want to.

-ALL:

-Walk the plank!

-ALL:

-Walk the plank! Walk the plank!

-# Scary... #

-ALL:

-Walk the plank!

-ALL:

-Walk the plank!

-# I don't want to go in

# Ooooh! #

GEM LAUGHS, CHEERING

-AUDIENCE:

-Ew!

I've got my Swashbucklers to thank for making Line walk the plank.

We will see you next time for more Swashbuckle.

-AUDIENCE:

-Bye!

-ALL:

-# Hey-ho, Swashbucklers, go Take on the pirates, yo-ho-ho!

# Hey-ho, Swashbucklers, go Take on the pirates, yo-ho-ho!

# Hey-ho, Swashbucklers, go Take on the pirates, go, go, go!

Swashbuckle cheer!

-ALL:

-Arrr-harrr!
