00:00We've got a handful of songs to sing you

00:12Can't stop my voice when it longs to sing you

00:15New songs and blues songs and songs to bring you

00:18Happiness, no more, no less

00:21Hello everybody

00:25Hi there, glad you could make it

00:27We're going sailing today

00:28Would you care to come along?

00:29Well, it's hardly the weather to be all at sea

00:32Well, the sun is shining, fit to burst

00:34In Catherine Topping's picture

00:35And the sea looks quite calm

00:38That's a very unusual ship, isn't it?

00:41It looks rather like a Chinese junk

00:43Junk? Oh no, there's no junk in this programme

00:45Only the very best pictures and the nicest songs

00:47As you very well know

00:49A junk is a kind of sailing ship from China

00:52And this is a multicoloured sailing ship

00:56From Noel Edmonds?

00:57No, from Sarah Bradbury

00:59Who is six years old and who lives in Salford

01:03Oh, they have lovely rainbows in Salford, don't they?

01:05Mm-hmm

01:06You don't suppose Sarah wants us to sing a rainbow, do you?

01:09Well, she did ask for The Big Ship Sails on the Alley Alley O

01:12But it's such a lovely rainbow

01:14Perhaps we could sing both

01:15Oh, at the same time, you mean?

01:17No, not exactly

01:18I thought one after the other

01:19Righto, all aboard

01:21The Big Ship Sails on the Alley Alley O

01:25The Big Ship Sails on the Alley Alley O

01:31On the last day of September

01:33The Captain said

01:35It'll never, never do

01:37It'll never, never do

01:38The Captain said

01:39It'll never, never do

01:40On the last day of September

01:42The Big Ship Sails on the Alley Alley Alley O

01:44The Alley Alley O

01:45The Alley Alley O

01:46The Big Ship Sails on the Alley Alley O

01:49On the last day of September

01:51We'll all dip our heads in the deep blue sea

02:12The deep blue sea

02:13The deep blue sea

02:14We'll all dip our heads in the deep blue sea

02:17On the last day of September

02:19The Big Ship Sails on the Alley Alley O

02:21The Alley Alley O

02:22The Alley Alley O

02:24The Big Ship Sails on the Alley Alley O

02:26On the last day of September

02:28Now, before you sing a rainbow

02:31Have you got any more rainbows to show us?

02:33Well, they don't grow on trees, you know

02:35Of course

02:36All you need is sunshine and a little rain

02:39And a rainbow just appears as if by magic

02:41Well, this rainbow didn't appear by magic

02:44It was painted by Anne Miller

02:46Isn't it beautiful?

02:47Certainly is

02:48And I can't wait to hear the song

02:50You don't have to

02:51Red and yellow and pink and green

02:57Purple and orange and blue

03:00I can sing a rainbow

03:04Sing a rainbow

03:06Sing a rainbow too

03:10Listen with your eyes

03:14Listen with your eyes

03:15And sing everything you see

03:19Now you can sing a rainbow

03:21Now you can sing a rainbow

03:23Sing a rainbow

03:25Sing along with me

03:29Red and yellow and pink and green

03:34Purple and orange and blue

03:38Now we can sing a rainbow

03:42Sing a rainbow

03:44Sing a rainbow

03:46Sing a rainbow too

03:48Very pretty

03:49Very pretty

03:50Thank you very much, Gunster

03:52No, I didn't mean you

03:53Oh, well, of course I did mean you as well

03:55But I've just seen this picture

03:56From Jilly Sitford

03:58Can you see that girl

03:59Between the palm trees

04:00There

04:01She's nearly as pretty as you

04:03Oh, very crafty

04:05But I don't think I'd like to wear

04:07What she's got on

04:08What has Jilly written up there?

04:10She wears red feathers

04:12And a hooli-hooli skirt

04:14Gosh, is that all?

04:16In this weather?

04:17Brrrr

04:17But the difference is

04:19That she lives on a tropical island

04:21Oh, yes

04:21Let me tell you the story

04:22I worked in the London bank

04:26Respectable position

04:28From nine to three they serve you tea

04:31But ruin your disposition

04:33Each night in the music hall

04:35A travelogue I'd see

04:37And once a pearl of a native girl

04:40Kept smiling right at me

04:41She wears red feathers

04:44And a hooli-hooli skirt

04:46She wears red feathers

04:48And a hooli-hooli skirt

04:50She lives on just coconuts

04:53And fish from the sea

04:54A rose in her hair

04:56A gleam in her eye

04:57And love in her heart for me

04:58Goodbye to the London bank

05:00I started in a sailing

05:03The fourteenth day from Mandalay

05:05I spied her from the railing

05:07I knew she was on her way

05:09Waited and was true

05:11He said, Ted, you son of an Englishman

05:14I've dreamed each night of you

05:15She wears red feathers

05:18And a hooli-hooli skirt

05:20She wears red feathers

05:22And a hooli-hooli skirt

05:24She lives on just coconuts

05:26And fish from the sea

05:28A rose in her hair

05:29A gleam in her eye

05:30And love in her heart for me

05:32Now I went to a ma and pa

05:34And said I loved her only

05:36They both said we could be wed

05:39Oh, what a ceremony

05:40An elephant brought her in

05:42And a place to buy my side

05:44While six baboons got out bassoons

05:47And played, here comes the bride

05:48She wears red feathers

05:51And a hooli-hooli skirt

05:53She wears red feathers

05:55And a hooli-hooli skirt

05:57She lives on just coconuts

05:59And fish from the sea

06:01A rose in her hair

06:02A gleam in her eye

06:03And love in the heart for me

06:05Back here in London town

06:07And though it may sound silly

06:09She's here with me

06:10And you should see us walk down

06:12Piccadilly

06:13The boys in the London bank

06:15They kind of held their breath

06:17She sings with me

06:18And sips her tea

06:19And tickles them to death

06:21She wears red feathers

06:23And a hooli-hooli skirt

06:25She wears red feathers

06:27And a hooli-hooli skirt

06:29She lives on just coconuts

06:31And fish from the sea

06:33A rose in her hair

06:34And gleam in her eye

06:35And love in the heart for me

06:37What a romantic story

06:39Fluffy, isn't it?

06:40Could I sing one now?

06:41A romantic song?

06:42Well, anything will do

06:43How about a little nut tree?

06:47this little nut tree

06:48with one nutmeg

06:49and one pear

06:55and there's the castle

06:57where she lives

06:58on the right

07:09But a silver nutmeg

07:11And a golden pear

07:13The king of Spain's daughter

07:15Came to visit me

07:17And all for the sake

07:19Of my little nut tree

07:22I sailed over ocean

07:24I flew over sea

07:26And all the birds in the air

07:29Couldn't catch me
