Highway Man’s Apprentice

Highwayman's Apprentice

COMPERE And now we take you back about 200 years. A few miles down the road in the hills of the

Chilterns the famous Highwayman Dick Turpin is robbing innocent passers by. Now you maynot be aware of this but in those days you couldn't just set yourself up as a Highwayman,the Highwayman's Union wouldn't allow it. You had to serve a proper apprenticeship. So nowwe will show you what happened when they sent Dirty Dick a new lad. So ladies andgentlemen, we present - The Highwayman's Apprentice.[The curtain opens and we see Dick and his lad. At the back of the stage stands a "bush" forthe Highway men to hide behind] .

DICK Right. So you want to be a highwayman, do you?

LAD Oh yes sir - I want to be the greatest robber in the world

DICK Got any experience?

LAD Six months in the Income Tax Office

DICK Good enough. Ever held anyone up?

LAD Only my dad.

DICK What did you hold him up for?

LAD Well, he was drunk

DICK Oh well. It looks as if I will have to start from scratch. Now - when someone comes along wehide behind this bush. Then you jump out, stick out your gun and say, "Stand and deliver.This is the famous highwayman Dick Turpin. Your money or your life." Got it?

LAD Stand and deliver. Dick Turpin. Your money or your life. [Repeats to himself a three times,but a little more quietly each time]

DICK Near enough. Ah, here comes someone now. Qucik! Get behind the bush.[They hide behind the bush. Two women come on and walk slowly across the stage,gossiping] .

1ST

WOMAN And did you see her hair? It was a disgrace. She looked like a lavatory brush with a homeperm.

2ND WOMAN I know. But what do you expect? She's as common as muck. [They stand muttering] .

1ST WOMAN Dead common. And her Bert's no better. Got a job as a postman. He says the pays notgood, but it keeps him off the streets.[Dick pushes the lad out and stands watching]

LAD [Brandishing the gun] . Stand on your liver! Dick Turpintine, this is your life![The women ignore him completely and continue to move off stage, still gossiping]

2ND WOMAN Her Annie's as daft as a brush as well. Fell out of the window when she was ironing thecurtains last week.





1ST WOMAN I know! You know I'm not one to gossip, but have you seen the state of her curtains?

LAD Hands up! This is a stuck up! Your money or your wife![They continue to ignore him]

2ND WOMAN Filthy! look as if they've been hanging up in the barn since last summer.

1

ST

WOMAN [As they exit] Know what you mean as common as muck.

DICK [Leaping out] Stupid boy! You made a right mess of that! [Mimicing a childish voice] "Standon your liver".

LAD I'm sorry Mr Turpin. I was so nervous. Please give me another chance. I won't let you downagain.

DICK You'd better not. I'll give you another chance , but remember to be tough this time. You'vegot to frighten them. Quick here comes another customer.[They hide. A postman enters with his bag and letters. The lad jumps out as dick watches.]

LAD [Shouting] Stand and deliver!

POSTMAN What?

LAD Stand and deliver. I am Dick Turnip.

POSTMAN No, you can't do that

LAD What do you mean "You can't"?

POSTMAN Well, you said "Stand and deliver", but in my job you have to walk and deliver.

LAD [Very toughly] Don't argue with me, Smartipants. I want all your money. Hand it all over or I'llmake aright yukky mess of you.

POSTMAN But I'm only a poor postman.

LAD Don't tell me your troubles. Give me your money or I'll fill you with more holes than a Swisscheese.

POSTMAN [Dropping to his knees and wailing] . Oh no, not that. They've stopped all my overtime. Ihaven't had a pay rise in six years. My 10 kids are starving, The tax man takes all my money,my horse needs four new shoes and a MOT. [Gets up]

LAD [Uncomfortably] Stop mucking about. Hand over your money

POSTMAN [Dropping to his knees with great wailing sobs] Oh great kind sir, please have pity on me..The council are going to evict me for not paying the rent. My wife's run off with the vicar, Ihaven't eaten for three days and I can't afford to go to Wycombe Wanderers any more. [Hewails and sobs. The Lad watches him then begins to wail and sob himself.]

LAD Ohhh. Your kids are starving? [The postman wails and sobs] They want to evict you? [Morewailing and sobbing] You can't afford to go to Wycombe Wanderers? [Great wails and sobsfrom both of them]

POSTMAN What am I going to do?





LAD [Still sobbing and opening his purse] Don't worry. We must all try and help each other. Here's£5 towards a season ticket.

POSTMAN [Getting up wailing as he exits] Oh thank you sir! You're a gentleman. You're a realgentleman [He exits wailing] [The Lad watches, wailing and wiping his eyes on an enormous hankerchief. Dick comes outand gives him a shove]

DICK Idiot! Nitwit! You're supposed to be robbing him not him robbing you! If you had any moresense you'd be a half wit. I can see I'll have to show you how it's done. Get behind that bushand watch a professional at work.[Lad gets behind the bush, but peeping out. A young girl enters.]

DICK [Fiercely] I'm Dick Turpin, the famous highwayman. Stand and deliver! Your money or yourlife!

GIRL [Admiringly] Oh Mr Turpin! What a surprise! I've always wanted to meet a strong, famousperson like you.

DICK [Grins to the audience then remembers the Lad is watching] Don't give me any of thatrubbish or I'll mash you into a strawberry yogurt.

GIRL Oh you're so sexy when you're angry. You wouldn't want to hurt a little girl like me wouldyou?

DICK Well.....I.....err.....no..... that is....errr.....yes give me your money.

GIRL Oh you are so masterful. I've always dreamed of meeting you. All my friends will be so jealous when I tell them how gorgeous you are.

DICK Me? Gorgeous?

GIRL Oh yes. Bye bye Dicky. You can hold me up anytime you like. It was a real pleasure. [Sheblows him a kiss and exists]

LAD [Coming out from behind the bush] What happened?

DICK Well, she was a girl, wasn't she?

LAD So what?

DICK Well, we don't rob girls. It's bad for our reputation. That's another thing you've learnt.

LAD Especially when they say you're strong and sexy and gorgeous

DICK That's got nothing to do with it

LAD Then why have you gone all red

DICK That's enough from you. I can see the only way you're going to learn is for us both to do therobbery.Now come on get behind the bush.[They get behing the bush and a man comes on carrying a Tescos carrier bag. Dick and theLad leap out] .

DICK Stand and deliver! This is Dick Turpin Senior.

LAD And this is Dick Turpin Junior. And we are -





DICK & LAD The two Dicks

LAD Your money or your life.

MAN Don't shoot, don't shoot. I'll do anything you say.

DICK That's more like it. We want a thousand guineas.

MAN A thousand guineas? I can't carry all that around with me.

LAD You heard him - a thousand guineas or we'll fill you full of lead.

MAN I haven't got all that on me.

DICK All right - then we'll shoot you.

MAN No wait. I'll pay some now and the rest later.

DICK You'll pay a thousand guineas?

MAN Yes

LAD Some now and the rest later?

MAN Yes! Yes! Anything you say, but please don't shoot

DICK All right - hand over the first installment.[The man opens his bag and takes out two bottles of Guinness. He gives one to Dick andone to the Lad] .

MAN There's one Guinness for you and one for your lad. Now I owe you 998!

[He runs off. Dick and the Lad stare at each other and then run after him shooting their capguns and shouting "Come back here, you crook, come back here!]





King and I

March of the Siamese Children

Getting to Know You

It's a very ancient sayingBut a true and honest thoughtThat if you become a teacherBy your pupils you'll be taught

As a teacher I've been learningYou'll forgive me if I boast And I've now become an expertOn the subject I like most

Getting to know you [spoken]

Getting to know youGetting to know all about youGetting to like youGetting to hope you like me

Getting to know youPutting it my wayBut nicelyYou are preciselyMy cup of tea

Getting to know youGetting to feel free and easyWhen I am with youGetting to know what to say

Haven't you noticedSuddenly I'm bright and breezy?Because of all the beautiful and newThings I'm learning about youDay by day

Getting to know youGetting to know all about youGetting to like youGetting to hope you like me

Getting to know youPutting it my wayBut nicelyYou are preciselyMy cup of tea

Getting to know youGetting to feel free and easyWhen I am with youGetting to know what to say

Haven't you noticed

Suddenly I'm bright and breezy?Because of all the beautiful and newThings I'm learning about youDay by day

Whistle a Happy Tune

Whenever I feel afraidI hold my head erect And whistle a happy tune

So no one will suspect I'm afraid

While shivering in my shoesI strike a careless pose And whistle a happy tune And no one ever knows I'm afraid

The result of this deceptionIs very strange to tellFor when I fool the peopleI fear I fool myself as well

I whistle a happy tune And every single timeThe happiness in the tune

Convinces me that I'm not afraid

Make believe you're brave And the trick will take you farYou may be as brave As you make believe you are

[whistling]

You may be as brave As you make believe you are





Shall We Dance

We've just been introducedI do not know you wellBut when the music startedSomething drew me to your side

So many men and girls Are in each others armsIt made me think we might beSimilarly occupied

Shall we dance?On a bright cloud of music shall we fly?Shall we dance?Shall we then say, goodnight and mean goodbye

Or perchanceWhen the last little star has left the skyShall we still be together?With our arms around each other And shall you be my new romance?

On the clear understandingThat this kind of thing can happenShall we dance?Shall we dance?Shall we dance?

Shall we dance?On a bright cloud of music shall we fly?Shall we dance?Shall we then say, goodnight and meangoodbye?

Oh perchanceWhen the last little star has leave the skyShall we still be together?

With our arms around each other And shall you be my new romance?

On the clear understandingThat this kind of thing can happenShall we dance?Shall we dance?Shall we dance?

Rhythm of Life

Daddy started out in San Francisco,Tootin' on a trumpet loud and mean.Suddenly a voice said, "Go forth, Daddy.

Spread the picture on a wider screen. "

And the voice said, "Daady, there's a millionpigeonsReady to be hooked on new religions.Hit the road, Daddy. Leave your common-lawwife.Spread the religion of the rhythm of life. "

And the rhythm of life is a powerful beat,Puts a tingle in your fingers and a tingle in yourfeet,

Rhythm in your bedroom, rhythm in the street,Yes, the rhythm of life is a powerful beat.

To feel the rhythm of life,To feel the powerful beat,To feel the tingle in your fingers,To feel the tingle in your feet.

Daddy spread the gospel in Milwaukee,Took his walkie-talkie to Rocky Ridge,Blew his way to Canton, then to Scranton,Till he landed under the Manhattan Bridge.

Daddy was a new sensation, got himself acongregation,Built up quite an operation down below.With the pie-eyed piper blowing, while themuscatel was flowing, All the cats were go, go, going down below.

Daddy was a new sensation, got himself acongregation,Built up quite an operation down below.With the pie-eyed piper blowing, while themuscatel was flowing, All the cats were go, go, going down below.

Flip your wings and fly to Daddy,Flip your wings and fly to Daddy,Flip your wings and fly to Daddy,

Fly, fly, fly to Daddy.

[this verse not on cd]Take a dive and swim to Daddy,Take a dive and swim to Daddy,Take a dive and swim to Daddy,Swim, swim, swim to Daddy.

Hit the floor and crawl to Daddy,Hit the floor and crawl to Daddy,Hit the floor and crawl to Daddy,Crawl, crawl, crawl to Daddy.



Flip your wings and fly to Daddy,

Take a dive and swim to Daddy,Hit the floor and crawl to Daddy,Daddy we got the rhythm of life,Of life, of life, of life.Oh Yeah!





Return from Scout Camp

Five mothers walk onto centre stage. Three of them stand in a group and talk amongthemselves.The dialogue for the sketch takes place between the other two, Mrs Jackson and Mrs Warren.

Mrs J Well Mrs Warren, they should be back from camp any time now. I hope they had a good time.

Mrs W Yes I hope so too. The rain did come down at a heck of a rate[Pause]

Mrs J I hope my Jason behaved himself this year. Do you know, last year, he went sleep walkingagain.

Mrs W Ooh, did he?

Mrs J Yes, he just crawled out of his tent. He didn’t even stop to put his shoes on.

Mrs W Ooh!

Mrs J Apparently, he wandered all round the farmer’s field. I’m just glad the cows hadn’t been aroundall day.

Mrs W Oh yes that was lucky! How do you know he’d been sleep walking then?

Mrs J Well apparently, Akela woke up to the sound of a ruddy big splash, and when went out he foundJason sitting in the cow trough snoring his head off![Pause]

Mrs W Still at least it saved him from having a wash that day.

Mrs J Well they tell me it’s the only wash he had all week

Mrs W Well I know that my Jimmy is going to come back absolutely filthy, and he won’t have cleanedhis teeth all week.

Mrs J Oh don’t be too hard on him. Anyway how do you know that he won’t have cleaned them?

Mrs W 'Cos he took our electric toothbrush with him and they don’t often work out in the farmer’s field.So that means he’s either not cleaned his teeth or he’s connected it to the electric pylon andfried himself.

[Pause]

Mrs J Do you know, I’m sure that Akela is trying to get rid of our Jason.

Mrs W Oh, why’s that then?

Mrs J Well at camp last year they were doing knotting and Akela showed them how to do ahangman’s noose.

Mrs W Well that doesn’t mean that he wants to get rid of your Jason

Mrs J No/ Well when he’d made it he asked if he wanted to try it out.

Mrs W I’m sure he was only joking





Mrs J That’s what I thought, until Jason told me about the kite flying.

Mrs W Well kite flying’s pretty harmless.

Mrs J Well it would be, except Akela made him fly their kites at the top of a hill, which just happenedto be on the main flight path of the local RAF station.

Mrs W Ooh I saY!

Mrs J It’s absolutely true and just as my Jason had got his kite up to full height… Whoosh! This jetcomes flying over and catches onto the string of the kite.

Mrs W Ooh no.

Mrs J Yes! If my Jason hadn’t have had the presence of mind to whip out his Swiss army knife and cutthe rope, which Akela had so thoughtfully tied round his neck, he could be dangling over theFalklands riight now. (Makes sign of cross on body as if praying) [Pause]

Mrs W Still I bet your Jason enjoyed himself eh?[Off stage, sounds of cubs returning from camp]

[Enter five adults dressed as cubs and Akela. Akela is shaking Jason warmly by the throat. Hedoes not see the mothers. The mothers look on in disgust]

Akela ….and if I catch you poking your curly wurly in Jimmy’s ear once more, we’ll be flying you at thetop of our flag pole next year.[He sees mothers and loosens his grip. He walks over to Jason’ s mother]

Akela Hello Mrs Jackson and how are you?

Mrs J [While checking Jason for bruises and with concern in her voice] Fine thank you

Akela You’ll be pleased to know that Jason was his usual angelic self. I didn’t have to tell him off onceall week.

Mrs J I’m pleased to hear it. [kisses son on forehead] . Well son did you have a nice time at camp?Jason Cor did we! Just wait 'til I tell you

[Start song. Jason sings verses. Other four cubs and Akela sing the choruses After song finishes.]

Mrs J. [To Jason] Oh well I’m glad you enjoyed yourself. Come on let’s get you home and put youthrough the wringer. Goodbye Mrs W

[Everyone says goodbye to each other and exit]





Didn’t We Have A Lovely Time

CHORUS Didn’t we have a lovely time the day it rained at cub camp,The clouds gathered low, with us lot below, And soaked us through to the skin you knowWhile under the tent. Where we were all sent

We opened a packet of cocoaWe were singing aloud with the rest of the crowdWhen the rain came down

VERSE Do you recall the fun of it all As the rain came in the store tentMince floating here, mixed with Akela’s beer So we got drunk on the stew that nightThen Jimmy felt sick so he had to dash quickTo the bogs and he only just made itHe re-cycled his stew down the walls of the loo As the rain came down

[Chorus]

The camp fire went out, ‘cos the rain was about So Akela had a mentalSo wellies on feet, he stormed off to the beatOf the rain as it pelted the Dixie lidsHe said he’d return when the fire would burn But the rest of us took no notice And the songs that we sang all went with a clang As the rain came down

[Chorus]

At the height of the storm, a river did form And it flowed across the campsiteThe tents were awash with mud and the slosh As the sleeping bags floated away down the steamWe were fed up by then, it was a quarter past tenWe’d had twenty-four hours of downpour And my teddy was saved from the crest of a wave As the rain came down

[Chorus]

Singing aloud with the rest of the crowdWhen the rain came down





Rain

Down Came the Rain

She walked like a dream from another worldI’d never seen such a lovely girl She smiled as we stood on the sandBut just as I reached for her hand

Down came the rainIt’s happened again The thunder and lightningDown came the rain

We walked by the sea for a long, long timeI knew somehow she was nearly mineThe look in her eyes told me this

But just as we stopped for a kiss

Down came the rainIt happened againThe thunder and lightningDown came the rain

She whispered to me she would be my brideShe’d always be standing by my side I’d come to the end of my search But just as we got to the church

Down came the rainIt happened againThe thunder and lightningDown came the rainDown came the rainDown came the rai-hai-hain

Listen to the Rhythm of the FallingRain

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rainTelling me just what a fool I've beenI wish that it would let me go and cry in vain And let me be alone again

Rain please tell me now does that seem fairFor her to steal my heart away when she don'tcareI can't love another when my heart’s somewherefar away

[Instrumental Interlude]

The only girl I care about has gone awayI’m looking for a brand new startBut little does she know that when she left thatday Along with her she took my heart

Rain won't you tell her that I love her soPlease ask the sun to set her heart aglowRain in her heart and let the love we knew start togrow





Rain Drops Keep Falling on MyHead

Raindrops keep falling on my head And just like the guy whose feet are too big for hisbed

Nothing seems to fitThose raindrops are falling on my head, theykeep falling

So I just did me some talking to the sun And I said I didn't like the way he got things doneSleeping on the jobThose raindrops are falling on my head, theykeep falling

But there's one thing I knowThe blues they send to meet me won't defeat meIt won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me

[Instrumental Interlude]

Raindrops keep falling on my headBut that doesn't mean my eyes will soon beturning redCrying's not for me'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain bycomplainingBecause I'm free

Nothing's worrying meNothing's worrying me

Singing in the Rain

Doo-dloo-doo-doo-dooDoo-dloo-doo-doo-doo-dooDoo-dloo-doo-doo-doo-dooDoo-dloo-doo-doo-doo-doo...

I'm singing in the rainJust singing in the rainWhat a glorious feelin'I'm happy againI'm laughing at cloudsSo dark up aboveThe sun's in my heart And I'm ready for love

Let the stormy clouds chaseEveryone from the place

Come on with the rainI've a smile on my faceI walk down the laneWith a happy refrainI’m singin’, Just singin', in the rain

I'm singing in the rainJust singing in the rainWhat a glorious feelin'I'm happy againI'm laughing at cloudsSo dark up aboveThe sun's in my heart And I'm ready for love

Let the stormy clouds chaseEveryone from the placeCome on with the rainI've a smile on my faceI walk down the laneWith a happy refrainI’m singin’,

Just singin', in the rain

Apeman

I think I'm sophisticated 'cause I'm living my lifeLike a good homo sapiensBut all around me everybody's multiplying and

They're walking round like flies manSo I'm no better than the animals sittingIn the cages in the zoo manCause compared to the flowers and the birds and the treesI am an apeman.

I think I'm so educated and I'm so civilized'cause I'm a strict vegetarianBut with the over-population and inflation and starvation And the crazy politiciansI don't feel safe in this world no more,I don't want to die in a nuclear war.

I want to sail away to a distant shore and make like an apeman.

I'm an apeman, I'm an ape, apeman, oh I'm an apemanI'm a King Kong man, I'm a voodoo man, oh I'm an apemanCause compared to the sun that sits in the sky,Compared to the clouds as they roll by,Compared to the bugs and the spiders and flies I am an apeman.

La La La La La – La Laa, La La La





Dedicated Follower of Fashion

They seek him here, they seek him there,His clothes are loud, but never square.It will make or break him so he's got to buy thebest,

'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion.

Oh yes he is (oh yes he is), oh yes he is (oh yeshe is).He thinks he is a flower to be looked at, And when he pulls his frilly nylon panties right uptight,He feels a dedicated follower of fashion.

Oh yes he is (oh yes he is), oh yes he is (oh yeshe is).There's one thing that he loves and that is flattery.

One week he's in polka-dots, the next week he isin stripes.'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion.

He's a dedicated follower of fashion.He's a dedicated follower of fashion.

Sunny Afternoon

The taxman's taken all my dough And left me in my stately homeLazing on a sunny afternoon

And I can't sail my yachtHe's taken everything I've got All I've got's this sunny afternoon

Save me, save meSave me from this squeezeI've got a big fat momma trying to break me

And I love to live so pleasantlyLive this life of luxuryLazing on a sunny afternoonIn the summertime, in the summertime

In the summertime

My girlfriend's run off with my car And gone back to her ma and paTelling tales of drunkenness and cruelty

Now I'm sitting hereSipping at my ice cold beerLazing on a sunny afternoon

Help me, help me, help me sail awayWell give me two good reasonsWhy I ought to stay

'Cause I love to live so pleasantlyLive this life of luxuryLazing on a sunny afternoonIn the summertime, in the summertimeIn the summertime





Waterloo Sunset

Dirty old river, must you keep rolling, flowing into the nightPeople so busy, make me feel dizzy, taxi light shines so brightBut I don't, need no friends As long as I gaze on Waterloo Sunset, I am in paradise

Jamaica Farewell

Down the way where the nights are gay And the moon shines daily on the mountain topI took a trip on a sailing ship And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop

ChorusBut I'm sad to say, I'm on my wayWon't be back for many a dayMy heart is down, my head is turning aroundI had to leave a little crab in Kingston Town

Sounds of laughter everywhere And the dancing fish swing to and froI must declare my heart is thereThough I've been from Maine to Mexico

[Chorus]

Under the sea there you can hearMerfolk singing songs that I love so dearFish are dancing everywhere And the rum is fine any time of year

[Chorus]

Wycombe is The Place for Me

Wycombe is the place for meWycombe is the place to beYou can go to France or America,India, Asia or AustraliaYou gotta come back it’s the place for me

Wycombe is the place for me At night when you have nothing to doYou can take a walk down Desborough Avenue

You would laugh and talk and enjoy the breeze And admire the beautiful sceneryWycombe is the place for me

Wycombe is the place to be





Busy Bee

Oh, what a glorious thing to be, A healthy grown up busy busy bee;Whiling away all the passing hoursPinching all the pollen from the cauliflowers.

I'd like to be a busy busy bee,Being just as busy as a bee can be.Flying round the garden sweetest ever seen,Taking back the honey to the dear old queen.

Bz bz bz bz, honey bee, honey bee,Buzz if you like, but don't sting me,Bz bz bz bz, honey bee, honey bee,Buzz if you like, but don't sting me!

Bzzzz Bzzzz

Oh, what a glorious thing to be, A healthy grown up busy busy bee.Toying with the tulips tasting every typeBuilding up the honey-comb that looks like tripe.I'd like to be a busy little bee,Being just as busy as a bee can be,Flying all around in the wild hedgerows,Stinging all the cows upon the parson's nose!

Bz bz bz bz, honey bee, honey bee,Buzz if you like, but don't sting me,

Bz bz bz bz, honey bee, honey bee,Buzz if you like, but don't sting me!

Bzzzz Bzzzz

Oh, what a glorious thing to be, A healthy grown up busy busy bee.Visiting the picnics quite a little teaseRaising little lumps upon the maidens’ knees

I'd like to be a busy little bee,Being just as busy as a bee can be,Flirting with the butterfly strong upon the wingWhoopie Oh death, where is thy sting!

Bz bz bz bz, honey bee, honey bee,Buzz if you like, but don't sting me,Bz bz bz bz, honey bee, honey bee,Buzz if you like, but don't sting me!

Bzzzz Bzzzz

Oh, what a glorious thing to be, A healthy grown up busy busy bee.To be a good bee one must contriveFor bees in a beehive must behiveBut maybe I wouldn’t be a bee, Bees are alright when alive you see,But when bees die you really shouldn’t see ‘em Pinned upon a card in a dirty museum.

Chorus [sung until all the cast is on stage]

We’ve been making memories For a long, long, long, long time.It’s a lovely thing to do And we’ve made them all for you We’ve been making memories, And if you’re very smart You’ll take each little memory And lock it in the pocket of your heart YEAH!Day and night and night and dayThe songs that we have sungHave echoed over land and over-seas

Already we have shared them with the friends we knowNow we’re going to leave them with you when we go This is the best of leg-a-cies.It’s ours for making memories
