one sunny seaside day i was in my boat
the puffin
checking the lobster box
but i didn't have any luck
i think the lobsters were playing hide
and seek
well it was a lovely day and by now i
was feeling a bit peckish
when i opened my picnic box i found a
note wrapped around my sandwiches
by king neptune's beard i'd forgotten to
tell ross and comedy about the signal
i'd received from head office
it must have slipped my mind in my hurry
to get away
but
i had an idea
i could send a message by semaphore to
comedy who was on watch in the
lighthouse well first of all i had to
attract his attention
[Music]
back in the lighthouse cromity was
cleaning the windows when suddenly he
spotted me way in the distance oh what's
up with bill
and we rushed to get his telescope oh
now where's it going
got it
now where's bill gone
ah there he is
oh he wants to send a message
where's my code book
hold on a minute bill he shouted
when comedy was ready i began to send my
message
but he was not very good at semaphore
i spelt out
head
caper
organizing official visit
end of june
but comedy read it as the head keeper is
organizing a fishing trip this afternoon
ah got it
with that done i carried on checking the
lobster
hmm
sacramento feeling pleased with himself
a message from head office
i'd better tell ross
uh hello a village shop please ross was
in mcgillicuddy collecting some surprise
from eddie stone's shop when the phone
rang
edward stone's emporium edward speaking
it's a dreadful line i
feel fine too said comedy but listen i
got a message for you from bill there
was a great deal of crackling and
buzzing on the line and chromity was so
excited he couldn't seem to make ross
understand head keeper fishing trip this
afternoon cousin peter fish and chips
this afternoon

and he put the phone
what was all that about us eddie
oh it's comedy's cousin peter from the
mainland he's coming this afternoon and
i think we're having fish and chips for
tea

[Music]
when i arrived home i got a shot the
table was piled high with a feast and
ross and chromity were looking pleased
with themselves
hello bill
we got your message said gravity but
neither the head keeper nor cousin peter
have arrived yet
by neptune's beard i said you've got my
message all wrong
but i didn't bother to explain i just
sat down to t

semaphore i told you

on the mainland to pick up the
provisions from eddie stone's shop

our week's supplies oh well what'll it
be this time

ellie

else
chromity do you want the nutty ones
repeated eddie
um
tell me how does this vacuum cleaner
work
ask comedy
well i had to laugh
that's not a vacuum cleaner i said
it's a metal detector
it makes a noise so you can find things
that are made of metal when they're
buried
oh why
said comedy things like treasure
like saint bozo's treasure that was lost
in this very village 200 years ago i'll
take it i'll take it and he handed eddie
six months pocket money grabbed the
detector and rushed out of the shop
i'll be rich i'll be rich i'll be able
to buy toffees by the tin tinfoil
when i find the treasure i'll be so rich
i'll be able to buy my own lighthouse
as he passed mrs lundy's garden
oh hello mrs lundy i'm searching for
lost treasure with my new metal detector
uh
would you mind if i tried it out in your
garden oh do
laugh mrs lundy that will be fun
so
comedy started searching the guy when
suddenly
it's buzzing it is
saint bonzo's treasure
i found the treasure
oh no you haven't said mrs lundy as
comedy handed her the air grip she'd
lost that morning
my goodness you've also found that
knitting needle i lost last year oh
and the button from my gardening coat oh
thank you comedy thank you and to show
how grateful she was she gave him one of
her prized cabbages as a reward
oh thank you said comedy
well i must be off i have to find the
treasure before the banks closed
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
comedy only walked a short distance down
the leafy lane when he saw finn stare
the crafter
you're not looking for lost treasure are
you finister
no comedy something much more valuable
water
this old tap has never worked properly
and now it's stopped completely
i think the problem is underground
but i can't find the water pipe
well of course
chromity had just what was needed his
metal detector
and he soon put it to you searching for
the pipe
let's dig here exclaimed comedy suddenly
[Music]
well done comedy you found the pipe
no wonder the tap wouldn't work
it's leaking
but i can soon fix that
finish there was so grateful for
comedy's help that he gave him a basket
of eggs and fruit
when comedy arrived back at the keysight
he found me waiting for him did you find
the buried treasure i asked oh no
but i found some treasure to add to the
week's supplies said comedy proudly as
he handed me the eggs fruit and mrs
lundy's prize cabbage
oh come with me to the rolling sea while
the weather's calm and still
and we'll have some fun and laughter
