Four giraffes bathing

Five snakes sneezing

Achoo!

Six cars cartwheeling

Seven hamsters hopping

Eight monkeys missing

Peep-po!

Nine jellyfish jiggling

And...

BOTH: Ten worms wriggling, waving hello!

My worms are sitting on a fence.

"SHOW ME" JINGLE

Somebody wants a Show Me!

Show Me Show Me Scarecrows!

Scarecrows!

-Hello, Mr Scarecrow. Hello, Miss Mouse.

-Hello.

Out in the field, the scarecrow stands with his flip-flop feet

and his flip-flop hands.

He's stuffed with straw so he's big and podgy,

but his arms and legs are flip-flop floppy.

This scarecrow has a job to do.

To flip-flop flip and make the birds go shoo!

With his outstretched arms, he flip-flop flops to keep the birds

away from crops.

Miss Mouse's crops.

-Now, what are you growing here, Miss Mouse?

-I have carrots,

tomatoes and a cheese plant.

BIRD CAWS

Listen, Miss Mouse, a bird's coming.

-Flap, flap, flap.

-A bird!

-Flip-flop flop.

-Ooh!

Well done, scarecrow. You shooed away the bird.

Your turn - Show Me Show Me scarecrows.

The scarecrow has a stick for their head and stick for their arms

and a stick for their legs.

It has to have a hat and clothes on it.

Sometimes they can wear whatever hat they want.

I will put socks on the scarecrow.

Scarecrows say, "Get away birds and birds, seagulls and mouses."

Scarecrows also "Boo" to birds.

ALL: Boo!

Thank you. You showed me.

And me. I'm a floppy scarecrow.

Floppy arms!

Floppy legs.

A floppy scarecrow. Very good, Pui, but there's something you need.

Straw!

# The straw, the straw to stuff and puff you out

# The straw, the straw to stuff and puff you out. #

-How about a nice scarecrow hat?

-Oh, good idea.

To be a scarecrow, you need a hat.

There we are. But you need more straw, Pui.

Here we go.

# The straw, the straw to stuff and puff you out

# The straw, the straw to stuff and puff you out

-Looking good.

-How about a nice straw scarecrow-y jacket?

A jacket!

Yes, I have one here.

This way... Oh, look, it's just your size.

On it goes. But you need more straw.

# More straw, more straw to stuff and puff you out

# More straw, more straw to stuff and puff you out. #

Looking good.

A floppy scarecrow with lots of straw.

But there's something else you need.

More straw?

No, a bird to shoo away.

Right.

# A bird, a bird, a bird to shoo away

# A bird, a bird, a bird to shoo away

Flip-flop away from my crop!

BIRD MAKES SCARED NOISE

Oh, did we do well? We flip-flopped the bird away from our crop.

Now get ready for more flip-flopping to shoo the birds away.

BIRD CAWS

Oh! Flip-flop away from my crop!

Flip-flop away from my crop!

Flip-flop!

Very good. We shooed the bird away.

Keep your scarecrow eyes open for more birds to shoo.

BIRD CAWS

Flip-flop. Well done. Didn't we do well. Shh!

BIRD CAWS

Oh! Flip-flop away from my crop!

We have flip-flopped so many birds away.

Looking good.

BIRD CAWS

Oh! Flip-flop away from my crop! Flip-flop!

-Flip-flop!

-You scarecrows are very good at flip-flopping.

And I'm completely flopped out.

Look up there.

Puffs of cloud high in the sky

What can you see floating by?

A fish finger.

Track. Cat.

Train.

Choo-choo!

Mouse's house. Yoo-hoo!

Super-dooper!

Loop the looper.

Curly-whirly.

Parachuter.

Yippee!

Now, what's for tea?

Puff of clouds high in the sky, wonderful things floating by!

Well, I'm sorry you weren't able to sneak past that clever

scarecrow, Tom Bird.

Oh, she thinks she's clever but I'm going to fly past her

and pinch the crops.

All right, Tom Bird. Off we go.

BIRD CAWS

Oh! What was that? Was that another cheeky bird?

Quick, freeze before she sees us!

Be still as statues.

Thinking. Thinking. Hold on a second.

Hold on a second. This grand statue looks a bit like Stuffy.

It is not ze Stuffy. It is a lion.

OK, then. Here I go.

-Cheese!

-Oh, Stuffy, it is you. This is the trouble with the toys -

they're too full of giggles to be statues.

To be a statue you have to be really still, like this.

Chris is very good. Chris! Cooey!

I don't think anything will make Chris move.

-Apart from Groovy Moving.

-You know what that means.

Show Me Show Me your groovy moves.

Freeze!

Whoa! Oh, I moved. But you were a good statue.

So is Pui. Pui! We've finished. You can move now.

Pui, you can stop being a statue.

-I know. Tickle, tickle, tickle.

-You got me.

-That worked.
