[Music]

every now and then ross has to look

after valencia his uncle's parrot and

there was one visit i shan't forget in

an order

ross was teaching valencia a new trick

hey bill come and see what valencia can

do

all right i said but make it quick i

have to fill in the log and wind the

lamp

so ross gave the command for valencia to

start her trick show us how you count

that's it

one

two

three

and blow me if valencia didn't push the

stones along the table

most impressive i said well done

but now ross it's time to get on with

your duties and with that i put the lamp

winding key on the table

tossed me out on the floor

uh i sat back to do the daily log

let me see now

the date

time

how many keepers on duty today

well there's ross comedy and me one

two

three

well i've forgotten all about valencia's

new trip but she hadn't

[Music]

what's next

uh duties performed

ah let's see

polish the brass

scrub the steps

check the light

clean up the engine and

radio room

uh ross and cromwell should be nearly

finished

and um

i shot that ring on there good that's

finished i said

no to wind up the lamp

but of course when i turned the pick up

the key it was gone

that's funny i said

i thought i put it on the tower

well i decided there was only one thing

for it i'd have to search everywhere i'd

been that day so off i went with duggar

back in at my heels

down to the engine room where

chromically was servicing the generator

hey comedy i called

have you seen the lampwork in the key i

can't find it anywhere oh no i haven't

bill

well it must be somewhere

i'll help you look for it

so i left chromity turning the engine

room upside down and went upstairs with

doggers still backing away to the radio

room where ross was studying the charts

hey ross oh my god

have you seen the lampwinder key

i can't find it anywhere no i haven't

built but it must be somewhere

i'll help you look for it

and i left ross turning the chatroom

upside down and went off to search the

bunk room

with dogger still backing his head off

[Music]

i'm quite a duggar i said i'm too busy

for games and i got down on my hands and

knees to look under the beds

and to my surprise

doggers suddenly stopped bagging and

grabbed my hat from off the top of my

head

hey dogger i cried stop playing a boat

give me back my hat and then duggar

dropped it at my feet and right slap

bang in the middle of me at as plain as

a pike staff was the lamp winder key

and then it dawned on me

when i was filling in my report and

counting one two three oh valencia

thought it was time to do a trick i must

have knocked the key right into my hat

and that's what dogger was trying to

tell me

well done dogger i said

you certainly saved the day

oh dear i said as i heard all the

searching still going on downstairs tell

you what dogger

we mustn't let the lads know that i had

the key all along

better keep it under your attic

[Music]

what's happening at the lighthouse

they're singing as*ault

when the wind blows in of the salty

[Music]

or rain or fog write it down in daily

log 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]

how do octopus couples travel oh

[Music]

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

i can't wait to tell you my next story

it was chromity's turn to tidy up the

paint room but as it happened on the

very same day ross was looking after his

uncle's parent valencia who was feeling

a bit poor

so ross and i were making a big fuss of

her

look i says she's not eating her

breakfast

we'd better keep her warm and make sure

she gets plenty of rest

rest

comedy but that's what i need not work

it's not fair

i don't feel well but he got no sympathy

from me

off you go chromity there's plenty of

work to be done i said you can't get out

of it like that

so off he's slouched moaning all the way

when did that parrot last you any work

never

but when she's a bit poorly it's uh oh

see here take the hamster

have a rest but it's a different story

when it's me assistant keeper chromatic

engineer grade two

then it's check the light polish the

brass way and tidy up the paint room

hey

hold on

paint

well the next thing we knew comedy

staggered back looking proper paulie

suffering swordfish cried ross look at

all those spots on chromity's face

sports said comedy innocently oh

i've probably caught some dreaded

disease from your uncle's parrot ross

but i'll be all right

i must go down and wash the steps

[Music]

well blow me i thought he's fainted it

didn't look at all good quickly ross you

get him to bed and i'll make him a nice

hot cup of tea and kick groan comedy uh

and and kick

[Music]

well comedy made himself nice and comfy

up in his bunk and for the rest of the

morning he had ross running up and down

keeping him supplied with mugs of tea

and cake

now that made me suspicious

you know chromity you don't look at all

well said ross i think you should see a

doctor oh no

i'll be all right

in a week or two

i'm terrifically brave you know

i'm worried about chromity said ross he

seems to be quite ill

so would you be ill if you caught what

valencia's got what's that poop

well i laugh

she's just about to lay an egg

but what about the spots ah you've got

to be careful of those spots oh he said

as i dabbed ross's face with paint

they're catching

well just then the invalid staggered

down the stairs oh

hello there said comedy feebly just

thought i'd pop down for a jam tat

must keep my strength up don't worry i

understand i said playing along with his

little game you'd better sit down for a

minute comedy or you've discovered

what's wrong with you and i opened up a

big black book

now comedy began to get worried

well what is wrong with me parrot itis

that's what it is paratitus it's all

written down here in this book headaches

big red spots and a longing for tea and

cake hey hey that's it

that's what i got a longing for tea and

cakes ah but

it goes on to say that the cure is a

cold bath

followed by a strict diet of bird seed

and a big spoonful of castor oil every

hour on the hour

well talk about a miracle cure it not

only changed prominently from being sick

as a parrot to bouncy as a budgie but

it's also done wonders for valencia

if you see what i mean

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 bill
