[Music]
oh come with me to the rolling sea while
the weather's calm and still
and we'll have some fun and laughter
with the adventures of portland
you know sometimes life just ain't fair
it was the day of the big match and we'd
all rushed to finish our morning duties
in the lighthouse on the guillemot walk
and had just settled back to watch the
television
when
oh
no
cried ross
the picture's got all
funny we won't be able to watch the
football
well here try banging it with the tv
times say chronically helpfully catch
well i knew that wouldn't do the trick
so i told him
it's the weather
the television's picking up atmospheric
interference
it would take an expert to fix it
just then eddie stone arrived with some
supplies from his shop in the ghillie
cuddy avoid their lads give me a hand
will you
soon eddie came puffing up the stairs oh
oh what a climb
i brought your shopping
and some oat cakes from grandma tyree
and i've got the mail somewhere oh oh
yes here we are
oh and there's a parcel
of a gravity oh
i've been waiting ages for this to
arrive oh hurry up ross give it here
come on in eddie i said we'll have a
cuppa
no chance of watching the match we can't
get a picture on the set
oh
dear replied eddie
atmospheric interference i suppose
that's right i said yes there's been a
lot of it around lately
well let's have that cup of tea it'll
cheer us up i said will you get the mugs
comedy
but i was talking to myself the comedy
was already on his way upstairs
he went straight to the gallery to
unwrap his parcel
[Music]
[Music]
hello chromatin
wow
what's that
this has a comedy proudly is my weather
forecasting kit
this tells you the wind speed
[Music]
you've got a kite
can i try it out hi but be careful it's
very sophisticated equipment
know that there should be a weather
balloon to go with my kite ah yes here
it is i think uh
this
but too late comedy had fallen off the
television aerial blistering barnacles
he cried no i'll be in trouble and he
started to try and bend the aerial
straight again
and at this point eddie and i let out a
great cheer hooray hurry
hey did you hear that chromity that's
ross hey what's happened
i don't know let's go down and find out
[Music]
when the two lads reach the living room
they were surprised to find the
television working perfectly
and we all sat back to watch the match
[Music]
press it forward
well done i said
thanks for fixing the aerial
oh uh um yes uh bluff comedy i was just
setting up my weather forecasting kit in
the gallery while i was at it i thought
i'd
readjust the television aerial
oh
how clever gasp eddie
you must be an expert
i suppose your new kit helped you
diagnose the atmospheric conditions so
you could set the aerial at the right
angle
yeah yes
you could say that a great comedy
[Music]
what's happening at the lighthouse
they're singing a song
when the wind blows in of the salty sea
come dance a jig to a sea shanty it
feels so right it feels so free to be a
lighthouse keeper
yo h* h* see the big ships go across the
rolling street
sunshine or wind or rain or fog write it
down in daily love with a cup of tea
it's warm and snug to be a lighthouse
keeper
yo h* h* see the big ships go across
[Music]
why was the lobster arrested
i don't know why was the lobster
arrested because it was always pinching
things
yoho oh see the big ships go across the
rolling sea
and way up here where the lamp burns
bright on top of the world by day you're
a night with a telescope you feel just
right when you're a lighthouse keeper
[Music]
i can't wait to tell you my next story
[Music]
it was a lovely sunny seaside day
so i decided to take doga to the
mainland for a walk
but as soon as we got it the gilly cuddy
he ran off mama hey dogger come back
here oh yeah we're going for the walk

shopkeeper
i don't know i chuckled
that dog of mine
every time we come to the village he
races to your shop
he knows where i buy the dog food all
right you've spoiled that dog all the
chockie drops you buy him but i don't
think he takes any notice of you
well i wasn't having that i've taught
dog loads of tricks
here i says watch this
dogger
go to sleep
oh

well all right then sit
i told you bill laugh daddy he's only
interested in my sausages
well in that case i said we'd better get
off before he gets his teeth into them
come on dogger let's find a stick to
chase
[Music]
we just watched the leafy lane and we
were having a good game of fetch when
hi who threw that stick

oh finish there i said i am sorry i
didn't see you in the hole uh it's all
right bill didn't hurt huh what's up

finister i think the pipe needs
replacing
i think you're right i said as the pipe
suddenly sprang
oops there's another leak and another
oh help
i've run out of fingers to stick in the
old
if this pipe bursts the whole village
will be without water
so i jumped in and covered as many holes
as possible but then i ran out of
fingers
oh now what do we do past finish day

but i had an idea duggar go and fetch
help i said go and get eddie
[Music]
oh

pounds of sausages didn't you

getting eddie's undivided attention

hey come back with those sausages come
back come back the chase was on and he
jumped onto his bicycle and raced half
the dogger you haven't paid for them
come back this instant
by the time eddie caught up duggar had
reached the leafy lane where finished
air and i was still holding to the water
pipe
[Music]
ah bill puff daddy putting on his
policeman's hat
i have to arrest dogger for stealing
sausages
what are you doing to that pipe he asked
quickly putting on his waterboard
inspector's hat thank goodness you've
arrived i said this pipes burst and if
we let go the lane will flood in the
village will be without water
oh hang on a minute said eddie and off
he went to get his
tools when we finish mending the pipe
eddie remembered his sausages you know i
said you can't blame dogger for taking
them oh
i sent him to fetch you so he had to
make you follow him
yeah but why is he eating them now bill
you go finish there
[Music]
i couldn't think of a good answer to
that then eddie spoke up don't worry
about the sausages bill he's such a
clever dog he deserves them and i think
he'll even get a bag of dog biscuits
from the waterboard
clever boy
oh come with me to the rolling sea while
the weather's calm and still
