Cook's Seaweed Rap Swashbuckle

# A band of naughty pirates

# Took some jewels from me

# I hid onboard 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?

# 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?

CHEERING

Shall we make the pirates walk the plank?

CHEERING

Well, let's hear you, then, my 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!

Arrr-harrr!

Wahey!

Whoo!

Ahoy, there, my hearties. Welcome to Swashbuckle!

Arrr-harrr!

My name's Gem and it's great to have you aboard.

Are you all ready for a rip-roaring pirate adventure?

CHEERING

And will you help me to win back my jewels

from those very naughty pirates?

CHEERING

Brilliant! So, where is Captain Sinker?

Can you see her anywhere?

BOOING

-There she is!

-Oh, boo yourselves.

Are you OK, Sinker? You look sulkier than usual.

No, I'm not OK.

Last night a high tide came in

and washed up all this yucky seaweed everywhere.

Cook! Line!

BOTH: Yes, Captain Sinker, sir? I mean ma'am.

There's seaweed everywhere!

I know. Isn't it wonderful?

Just think of all the things I could cook with it.

Seaweed stew, seaweed curry,

-seaweed surprise...

-What's the surprise?

-It's all seaweed!

-LAUGHTER

-Good one!

-But it's disgusting, and I want you to get rid of it!

-But how are we going to do that?

-I don't know -

bundle it, box it, wrap it...

Did you hear that, Line? Rap it!

She wants us to get rid of the seaweed in a rap!

-You've always wanted to be a rapper, haven't you, Cook?

-Yeah!

-HE BEATBOXES

-# One to the two to the three to the four

# I'm the best pirate rapper for sure! #

LAUGHTER

I don't think that's quite what Captain Sinker meant.

It's time to think about winning back my jewels.

So, Squawk, who are my swashbuckling team today?

-Playing today, we've got Matthew.

-CHEERING

Matthew is six years old and loves the trampoline.

Let's hope he bounces his way to a win later!

His Swashbuckle name is Shipmate Matthew.

-This is Jasmine.

-CHEERING

Jasmine is also six, and really likes school.

She can teach Cook and Line a lesson or two.

Her Swashbuckle name is Admiral Jasmine.

-Meet Teah.

-CHEERING

Teah is six and loves stickers.

If she sticks with Gem today, she's bound to win.

Her Swashbuckle name is Crabclaw Teah.

-Finally, we've got Max.

-CHEERING

Max is six years old and enjoys playing football,

so he should be good at tackling the pirate games.

His Swashbuckle name is Gold Max.

CHEERING

Welcome aboard the Scarlet Squid to my new team of Swashbucklers.

Let's see if you're ready to take on those naughty pirates

by doing the Swashbuckle Salute. Let me see you all marching.

Put your hand on your heart.

Here we go!

-Eye patch.

-AUDIENCE:

-Eye patch.

-Pirate hat.

-AUDIENCE:

-Pirate hat.

-Swashbuckle cheer!

-AUDIENCE:

-Arrr-harr!

Fantastic, Swashbucklers. You're definitely ready for the adventure.

Squawk, tell us, 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:

-Eurgh!

And here is our Swashbuckler treasure chest,

and when we win back all of my jewels,

we'll put them in here to keep them safe from Captain Sinker.

You'll never get your hands on my seaweed... I mean jewels.

LAUGHTER The first game is very tricky indeed.

You Sploshmugglers don't stand a chance.

-AUDIENCE:

-Boooo!

We're not worried about you or your seaweed. Bring it on!

The first game is Wacky Whirlpool.

The aim of the game is to fill all six holes in the whirlpool.

All you have to do is collect the cannonballs

and roll them down the ramp and past the fish.

But be careful - the whirlpool will be spinning,

and Cook and Line will be trying to stop you.

CHEERING

Here is one of the soft cannonballs that you have to collect

to play the game. They're over there in the crates.

Bring them to the ramp and slide them down into a hole,

but look out, because Cook and Line will be trying to...

dance to put you off?! OK. You have as long as it takes

for the octopus to reach across the screen

and close the treasure chest to play.

Jasmine, I'll hand you that one to start you off, OK?

Are we ready to play?

-ALL:

-Arrr-harr!

-Then Swashbucklers away!

Come on, everyone, let's cheer them on!

AUDIENCE CHEERS AND SHOUTS

That's it.

OK, I'm ready for you now, Swashbucklers.

Oh, that was a bit fast. Never mind. Good try.

That's it, Jasmine, line it up. Go on, Teah.

Well done. Good throw.

Yeah, well done, Jasmine! Another one in!

Keep concentrating, Line!

-Oh!

-Ha-ha-ha, that fish got Line on the bottom.

How're we doing, Swashbucklers?

We've got four more holes to fill, quick as you can.

Oh, another one's gone in!

Brilliant! So three more to get.

Oh, how are we doing? Oh...

Argh, no, that one didn't go in.

Stop with the fish, Cook!

Oh, did it...

Yes, Max, it went in! Brilliant.

Fling a fish, Cook!

Argh! Flying fish.

Wait for the hole to come round,

and then GO!

Ooooh, that was close.

-Oh, a bit difficult there.

-Now.

Now!

Never mind. Let's go and collect another one.

THEY CHANT

That's it. There's those two holes just together.

We've got 30 seconds left.

Oh, that was so close.

And another one - oh, we just missed it.

Remember, if you need to, you can use the ramps at the sides

so you can change the angle.

Here comes another one, Matthew. Ready? Try and get it in.

We're running out of time. Last ten seconds coming up.

Ten, nine, eight,

seven, six, five,

four, three,

two, one...

-BELL RINGS

-Oh, time is up!

Come on over here, Swashbucklers. That was very tricky.

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

What a start to Wacky Whirlpool.

Jasmine got two in a row before Line had hardly noticed.

And Matthew sunk another.

But with Cook flinging fish and Line netting the cannonballs,

they left the Swashbucklers in a spin.

There were two holes left - I'm sorry, Gem, you lose!

Aw, never mind, Swashbucklers - you tried really hard.

It was very difficult. But don't worry.

You could still win back all of my jewels later.

Hee-hee-hee, I get to keep your jewels! Eurgh.

Well, you might be covered in all that seaweed later, Sinker,

if we win back all my jewels

and one of you naughty pirates ends up in the ship's mess.

-AUDIENCE:

-Euurrrgh!

I thought I told you to get rid of all this seaweed.

-Captain's orders!

-Doing it now, Captain Sinker, sir. I mean ma'am!

No, wait! Don't waste it.

I can make a seaweed necklace out of it.

All the superstar rappers wear seaweed necklaces, you know.

But it smells!

Oh, that's not the seaweed, that's just how Cook smells.

-RAPS:

-# Four to the three to the two to the one

# I hardly ever wash, so deal with it, son. #

-LAUGHTER

-He means ma'am.

-I mean ma'am.

Oh, dear! Come on, Captain Sinker. We want to play another game

to try and win back one of my jewels. Squawk, what's next?

The second game is Tumbly Barrel.

The aim of this game is to make a picture

that matches what the pirate is wearing.

All you have to do is run through the giant barrel,

find the dressing up bits,

and bring them back to make your picture.

But be careful - Cook or Line will be trying to make you tumble!

CHEERING

And here is Line wearing the six items you need to collect.

-So we're looking for a seaweed wig...

-Oooh!

-..a star eye patch...

-Oh-oh-oh!

-..a black moustache...

-Oooh.

-..a hoop earring...

-Oooh.

-..a red and white stripy shirt...

-Oh!

-..and a seagull.

-SQUAWK!

Oh, a noisy seagull!

And these six items are through the tumbly barrel

over there in those crates. But look out,

because Cook is spinning that barrel and it might just make you tumble.

So are we ready to play?

-ALL:

-Arrr-harr!

-Then Swashbucklers away!

Here we go. Wow, that was great speed,

and a tumble out. Brilliant roll there, well done!

So which are we going to find first?

He's got the seagull, OK.

Well done, Max. Brilliant. OK, Teah, you're next.

Oooh, bit of a tumble, but he's OK.

Up you get. Keep going, well done!

-Off you go.

-Throw some fish in, Line!

Fantastic, brilliant job!

-He's getting fish!

-Uh-oh, he is getting fish.

Oh, no, there's loads of fish in the barrel now as well.

AUDIENCE CHANTS

Right, we've got the seaweed wig.

-Oh, he's tumbled with the fish.

-Right, Matthew, off you go.

Good work! You've got the seaweed wig onto the board.

Four more items.

You've got the moustache - great work!

OK, Jasmine, you next. Off you go. Good girl.

Oh, he's very fast!

There's more fish coming in!

Oh, no, not more fish!

Well done, we've got the eye patch.

So, Max, you're going to go next.

What are we looking for now? The shirt and the earring.

-Max, off you go. What are we looking for, Matthew?

-Shirt!

The shirt. We need the earring as well, the hoop earring.

That's the next thing to get.

What have we got now?

We've got the shirt, brilliant.

Brilliant! Teah, off you go. And onto the board.

Good work.

We've got 30 seconds left.

It's all right, we're still going.

20 seconds. That's it, we've got it! Bring it through!

As quick as you can, come on! We're running out of time.

And onto the board.

Yeah!

-CHEERING

-We've done it.

Well done, me hearties.

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

That was tumble-tastic!

Mighty Max had all the moves, with a double twist tumble,

a roly-poly and a flat on his back flip -

all just for the seagull.

Matthew blasted through the barrel to bring back the moustache,

and Teah tiptoed through with the earring.

Congratulations, Gem - the Swashbucklers won!

-CHEERING

-Yes!

Well done, Swashbucklers. You've won back our first jewel.

So, Captain Sinker, you know the rule...

-ALL:

-Send down a jewel!

Oh, all right, all right, you can have it, but I've got plenty left!

CHEERING

Here it is - it's the blue one. Look at that!

OK, Max, into the chest, please.

Good work! Yeah! Well done.

That's quite enough of that. Now, if you'll excuse me,

I have some very important captain's duties to attend to.

Roll up! Roll up! Come and get your seaweed.

I've got long or short, thick or thin,

slimy or...slimy.

I told you to get rid of this seaweed!

Give me one good reason why I should let you keep it?

I'll give you 21 reasons, Captain. Hit it, Line!

-MUSIC PLAYS

-Yo, MC Cook,

rock those pirate rhymes!

# My name's Cook I live on this ship

# With my best friend, Line, and Captain Sink

-21 things you can do with seaweed

-# Enough for you, enough for me

-21 things you can do with seaweed

-# Look at all the possibilities

-21 things you can do with seaweed... #

A-choo! I think I'm allergic.

# First things first Have you ever tried

# Using it as a laundry line

# It's strong, tough Won't cost a penny

# But it makes your socks very smelly

# Oh, no! I've spilt some slop

# Don't worry, Line, here's a seaweed mop

# The smell is starting to get on my nerves

This is very annoying.

# Moustache, wig, or even a beard

# It can make you look pretty weird

# A telephone wire of any size

# Remember when you used it as a pirate disguise?

# So many things that it could be

# Rocket fuel or a yummy smoothie

# Use it as a pancake filling again

# Or make a scary-looking alien

# A cure for hiccups, a trap for robbers

# The stink is getting me rather bothered

# It's perfect in some sticky gravy

# Or even use it to entertain a baby... #

Goo-goo, ga-ga!

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

You said 21 things. That was only 20.

MUSIC RESTARTS

# One last thing I didn't say

# You can use it to chase the captain away. #

Argh!

Here, Captain! Here, Captain!

Ah, actually, I think I will get rid of it. It really stinks.

-AUDIENCE:

-Euuurgh!

OK, Swashbucklers - you have won back one of my jewels.

It's the blue one - brilliant. But we need to find the other four

in the Shipwreck Rummage. To get us ready for it,

let's do the Swashbuckle Salute one more time.

Let me see you all marching. Put your hand on your heart.

Here we go!

-Eye patch.

-AUDIENCE:

-Eye patch.

-Pirate hat.

-AUDIENCE:

-Pirate hat.

-Swashbuckle cheer!

-AUDIENCE:

-Arrr-harr!

Very good.

Even I couldn't find the jewels in here.

There's seaweed everywhere.

It's the Shipwreck Rummage.

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

that have 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.

-CHEERING

-OK, Swashbucklers -

we need to win back four more of my jewels.

I'll show you where they're hiding. Up on the top deck

we'll find the red jewel in Captain Sinker's treasure chest.

On the middle deck we'll find the purple jewel in the pool of pearls.

Then on the lower deck the white one is in the food store.

And the green one is over by the cannonballs.

So which one are you going for first?

-Red!

-Right at the top? All right. Are we ready to play?

-ALL:

-Arrr-harr!

-Then Swashbucklers away!

Off race Matthew and Teah.

Oh, look at all those falling fish - yuck!

It's a long climb to the top deck to get the red jewel.

Matthew's dodged Line's basket of beach balls, and off he goes!

Matthew's on the top deck now,

and straight into the tunnel to get to the chests.

That's it - all the way up there. That's it, Teah. Well done.

He's found the red jewel. It's Sinker's treasure chest!

Bring it down!

OK, so they've got the red one up the top.

-Which one are you going for next?

-Purple.

-The purple,

-in the ball of pearls. OK.

-They're sliding down as quick as they can,

and their friends are cheering them on.

That's it! Oh, careful, the fish!

And off you go.

Well done. Let's get it in. Brilliant.

With the red in, Teah and Max are on their way

to the pool of pearls and the purple jewel.

Max dives straight in.

COOK: I don't think you're going to find the jewel this time!

We'll see, Cook. Teah's in as well now.

Look! There it is! Under all the pearls.

They must be close now. It's moving around.

-They've got it! Nice rummaging, Swashbucklers.

-Bring it back,

quick as you can! Where are you going next?

-They've got the purple one.

-Green.

The green one in the cannonballs? OK, great.

Slide down as quickly as you can, team.

Ready? And off you go! Good work!

Matthew and Teah are after the green jewel,

as the purple makes it safely home.

They're trying to find it over there.

Matthew has a fistful of seaweed,

but he's found the green jewel in it.

Quickly, both of you - back to the chest!

I need you to find the white one now in the food store. Brilliant work!

One jewel left to find.

It's white, and it's hidden somewhere in the food store.

Line is tipping balls on them,

but Max has found it!

-Bring it back!

-Quick as you can - time's running out.

And into the treasure chest!

Here we go.

-Yeeeaaah!

-CHEERING

Great celebrations there from my team of Swashbucklers.

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

Oh, that smelly seaweed didn't stop them.

Matthew dodged the basket of beach balls and rescued the red.

Max picked up the purple from the pearls.

They grabbed the seaweed-covered green jewel

and spotted the white in time.

Great celebrations at the end.

Four jewels found - you win!

-CHEERING

-Yes!

Well done, Swashbucklers - we've won back all of my jewels.

I can hand them out to you to hold on to for me.

There you go, Matthew.

There's one for you, Jasmine.

There you go, Max.

Purple one for you, Teah, well done.

And the blue one for me. And let's hear it for my Swashbucklers!

-CHEERING

-Now we've got all five jewels,

you know what it's time for?

One of those naughty seaweed pirates have to walk the plank.

But who's it going to be? Let's spin the wheel to see. Off you go, Teah.

Is it going to be Cook with the white hat...

Line with the red bandanna...

or Captain Sinker with the black hat?

It's going to be...

-Line!

-Line! Ha-ha-ha!

-CHEERING

Come on, Line - it's time for you to...

ALL: Walk the plank!

-WHIMPERING:

-I don't want to.

-THEY CHANT: Walk the plank! Walk the plank!

-Urgh!

Walk the plank! Walk the plank!

-Argh!

-Ha-ha-ha-ha!

-ALL: Euuurgh!

-Brilliant!

LAUGHTER

-ALL: Euurrrgh!

-Ha-ha-ha.

HE SOBS

It looks like that seaweed came into good use after all. Brilliant!

We'll see you next time for more Swashbuckle.

-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!

-Arrr-harrr!
