Happy Now (instrumental)	Happy Now (vocal)

Verse
Time for chasing clouds away, Say goodbye to rainy days,
Sun is shining in the sky, We can watch the rainbows flying by.
Ev’ry morning, ev’ry night, Smiling puts the world to right.
We can share joy and laughter, Ev’rybody happy ever after.
Bridge
Near or far, wishing on a star.
Catch a dream, hold it tight, Future’s looking bright.  
Chorus
Happy now! Chase your blues away. ‘Cause we are happy now! We can laugh and play. ‘Cause we are happy now! We are a-ok. ‘Cause we are happy now! It’s a happy day!

Happy day!

Track 6: Pesky Pirates (with voice guide)

 

Verse 1
We’re the Pesky Pirates – very, very bold, Looking out for treasure and for gold, Heading out for glory on the seven seas, We’re as very pesky as can be.
Verse 2
Sailing to adventure, steady as she goes, Hoist the Jolly Roger, there she blows! Robbing from the rich or blowing up a bank, If you answer back you’ll walk the plank!
Chorus
Heave-ho, the merry-o! Sing this jaunty song, Heave-ho, the merry-o! As we sail along!
Heave-ho, the merry-o! Sailing on the sea,
Better stay away - we are on the way, Pesky Pirates, we!
Better stay away - we are on the way, Pesky Pirates, we!
Verse 3
Repeat Verse 2
Chorus
Bridge
Scrub the decks! (Scrub the decks!) Climb the rig! (Climb the rig!)
Hoist the sail! (Hoist the sail!)
Fly the flag! (Fly the flag!)
Wave goodbye! (Wave goodbye!) Yo, ho, ho, and away!
Verse 4
Repeat Verse 1
We’re as very pesky as can be. Pesky!

Captain Sneer and the Pesky Pirates all cheer and whoop excitedly as they exit. The Happy Town Folk (including Ziggy, Jed, Chip and Pogo) enter excitedly. Narrator 1: So, now we’re back in Happy Town, And everyone is ready For a special Christmas time That’s magical and merry.

(To the Mayor) And I’ve made you some of my famous mince pies! (To the audience) EVERYONE loves my mince pies! Everyone, including the Mayor, winces and gasps in horror. Mayor: (To the audience) Oh, no! Not her mince pies! They’re so bad for my TUMMY. The Mayoress looks shocked. Mayoress: What did you say?! The Mayor switches to fake delight and rubs his tummy hungrily. Mayor: I said: Oh good, they’re so YUMMY! Mayoress: That’s good - because I’ve made you lots and LOTS! Mayor: (Faking delight) Oooo, I can’t tell you how pleased I am… Mayoress: (Suspiciously) How pleased are you…? Mayor: (Shaking head gloomily) I can’t tell you! ♫ Track 10 / 38: INCIDENTAL MUSIC - NEWSFLASH Suddenly, a television-style Newsreader pops up and takes centre-stage to address the audience directly, reading urgently from a clipboard: Newsreader: We interrupt this play to bring you some urgent news - the Pesky Pirates are on their way to Happy Town to steal the Christmas star! Everyone gasps in horror. Newsreader: (To the audience) If YOU see a Pesky Pirate be sure to shout out as loud as you can! Let's try it now – everyone shout “Pesky Pirates!” after three - one, two, three! Audience: Pesky Pirates! Newsreader: (To the audience, looking unimpressed) Is that the best you can do…?! Let's try again - one, two, three! Audience: PESKY PIRATES! Newsreader: (Still unimpressed) Well, I suppose it’ll have to do… The Newsreader exits, while the Pesky Pirates creep (unseen by the Happy Town folk) onto the back of the stage. Audience: PESKY PIRATES! Mayoress: (To the audience) You’re a bit late - we’ve finished rehearsing! Mayor: No, no, dear – I think they’ve seen the pirates! (To the audience) Where are they?! Audience: Behind you! Mayor: Where…?! Audience: Behind you! Mayor: Oh no, they’re not! Audience: Oh yes, they are! ♫ Track 11 / 39: FX – EVIL FANFARE Suddenly Captain Sneer leaps onto the stage with an evil cackle. Everyone: (Encouraging the audience to join in) Boo! Hiss! Barnacles: Make way for Captain Sneer! ♫ Track 12 / 40: BAD OLD CAPTAIN SNEER Verse 1 Make way for the Captain, scoundrel of the seas, Meanest pirate in the world, ev’ryone agrees. Make way for the Captain, evil through and through, Scaring all the boys and girls, with his pirate crew. Chorus Strong and bold, he’ll steal your gold, Fill your world with fear, That’s why no-one loves him so, Bad old Captain Sneer! Verse 2 Now you’ve seen the Captain, and his wicked ways. He loves to be mean and cruel, ev’ry single day. Now you’ve seen the Captain, here’s the reason why, Ev’rybody shakes with fear, when he’s sailing by.

I’m going to make sure you all have a really rotten Christmas! Captain Sneer snatches the star from the top of the Christmas tree, then he and the Pesky Pirates dash off, cheering triumphantly. The Happy Town Folk are horrified. Everyone: (Encouraging the audience to join in) Boo! Hiss! Mayoress: (Gloomily) It looks like Christmas is cancelled! Mayor: (With mock despair) Oh, what a shame – I was just looking forward to your mince pies! ♫ Track 13 / 41: IF CHRISTMAS IS GONE Verse 1 There’ll be no snow this year, There’ll be no Christmas dreaming, No games to play, On frosty days, No winter wonderland. There’ll be no time to meet, There’ll be no festive greetings. No tucked up tight, On winter nights, No giving gifts to friends. Chorus This time of the year, There should be laughter not tears. This time of the year, We should see friends from far and near. If our dreams and hopes all disappear, No star to wish upon, Nothing’s the same if Christmas is gone. Instrumental Verse 2 If we have love to share, If we have time for caring, Some future day Wake up and say, Let our dreams come true, Come true! Chorus No star to wish upon, Nothing’s the same if Christmas is gone. Narrator 3: Those Pesky Pirate buccaneers Have really spoilt the day - They’ve whisked the magic Christmas star Across the seas, and far away… Mayoress: Oh, my giddy aunt! What are we going to do?! Pogo: Get the Christmas star back! Gradually everyone joins in, until the whole town is chanting: Everyone: Get the star! Get the star! Mayor: Oh, dearie me, chasing after those Pesky Pirates could be very dangerous. Who would be brave enough? Mayoress: Or stupid enough! Ziggy, Jed, Chip and Pogo leap forward: Ziggy, Jed, Chip and Pogo: We’ll go! Everyone claps and cheers excitedly. Mayoress: That’s VERY brave! As a reward, when you get back you can have some of my famous mince pies. Everyone winces and gasps in horror. Chip: Oh, no! Not her MINCE PIES! The Mayoress looks shocked. Mayoress: What did you say?! Chip switches to fake delight. Chip: I said: Oh good, what a SURPRISE! Mayor: (To Chip and Pogo, directing them to the right) No time to waste! You go THAT way after the Pesky Pirates. Mayoress: (To Ziggy and Jed, directing them to the left) And you go THAT way, and find Santa. Everyone: (Gasping in awe) SANTA?! Mayoress: If HE can’t save Christmas NO-ONE can! Mayor: She’s right. She's always right! Even when she's wrong, she's right! ♫ Track 14 / 42: ON OFF MUSIC Everyone wishes the four rescuers luck.

Jed: (Getting impatient) DO you or DON’T you know where Santa’s home is? Sheriff: No, I don’t know where Rome is! But I can tell you where Santa’s home is. It’s left at the Blue Ridge Mountains, past the OK Corral, and then the North Pole’s straight ahead – you can’t miss it. Ziggy: Phew - that was hard work!

Seagulls in the sky above, The sparkling waterfall, ‘Though it sounds like paradise, There must be something more. Chorus Because we really want Snow on Christmas Day, Cold and frosty nights, Santa on his sleigh. Yes, we really want Snowflakes in the sky, Snowy games to play, Reindeer flying by.

All that we want for Christmas, All that we want for Christmas, All that we want for Christmas is some snow. Verse 2 How we love to sing and dance, Relaxing ev’ry day, Feel the sand beneath our toes, And watch the dolphins play.

Queen: (Handing the King a Christmas present) I think you’d better open your Christmas present, dear. King: But it’s only Christmas Eve! I can’t open it yet! Everyone: Oh, yes, you can! King: Oh, no, I can’t! Everyone: Oh, yes, you can! Queen: Open it now! It’ll help them get to Treasure Island. King: Why, what is it? A sat-nav…? The King pulls off the wrapping to reveal a plain white box; he looks at it, confused, turning it around, then holding it in such a way that the audience can read what’s written on the front in large letters: “HANDY PLOT DEVICE”. Queen: (Handing the box to Chip and Pogo) It’s a Handy Plot Device. It’ll take you straight to Treasure Island without any messing about in between. Everyone: (Impressed) Oooo!

Elf 1: Scarier than this? Elf 1 pulls a scary face. Jed: MUCH scarier! Elf 2: How about this? Elf 2 pulls an even scarier face. Jed: Nope, not even close! Santa: (Thinking) Hmmm, let me check my list of naughty children. (Checks long list) A-ha! I have him here – Captain Sneer! With a black cross next to his name, which means he’s SO naughty that he’s NEVER had a Christmas present. All the Elves shake their heads and mumble disapprovingly.
