[Music]

oh hello there now i realize that i've

only just gone up and i realized i

should be as bright as a button like i

usually am but the thing is i had such a

terrible night's sleep oh i'm sore all

over as well i feel as if i've done 10

rounds with the world champion boxer and

the reason i'm so tired the reason that

my normally comfortable bed has left me

feeling tired out and wrecked with pain

this

this

is a buddha

and i'm going to tell you

something about it have a closer look

despite the fact that he's only small

he's very valuable and some people say

he's got magical properties

as a matter of fact

hello city was it talking about you

no i wasn't just talking about this mind

you i suppose i might as well have been

talking about city i mean small valuable

magical properties now i was talking

about this this buddha this is the

reason that i slept so badly he spent

the whole night underneath my mattress

why

well security best place to put

him overnight he's very valuable and

very very old

does he belong to me well now he belongs

to a friend of mine i got to deliver him

you can't imagine anybody wanting him

why not

because he's fat and old and ugly

but

oh very funny while some people happen

to like things that are fat and old and

ugly

talking about myself again

no sweep i was not talking about myself

actually i was talking about this it's

very very valuable

it doesn't look very happy

and buddy jolly is now back where he

belongs where i can see him yes well

sweet was only trying to make sure that

buddy was safe matthew yes i know that

sue and that's why i've apologized to

him what city hmm it was a good idea

about the security yes it was a very

good idea about security

that was your idea i know that sweep and

whilst it didn't exactly go according to

plan i've been giving the whole security

thing some thought which is why we're

here in the backyard with a load of dogs

and a load of children hi kids and we're

gonna audition for a guard dog so if

you'd like to walk in a circle show us

your dogs

so

[Music]

so who's in favor of um

who's in favor of penny that was kelly's

little dog you thought she was lovely so

did i what do you think sue well frankly

i thought she was very cute matthew but

my vote goes to brown dog brown dog yes

yes he was what scampi

you like flipper the dog

flip of the dog i don't recall a dog

called flipper who's oh

don't tell me

flip of the dog look put that down there

thank you very much sweet you're very

quiet what's the matter oh never mind

about that matthew who are you going to

vote for who do you want to guard buddy

jolly right well my vote goes for um

my vote goes for

i'm gonna vote for sweep

i'm gonna vote for you because that's my

way of saying i'm sorry anyway i thought

that you were better than all those dogs

put together so congratulations sweet

congratulations you're going to guard

body jolly

well done

and so it was that sweep got the job of

guarding buddy jolly throughout the

night

sweep was very very proud of being

chosen for the job picked out amongst

all those other dogs

he wasn't gonna let me down

no one would get near to the precious

bloody jolly because sweep the fearless

guard dog would stop them

he'd bark

he'd raise the alarm

he'd fight like a hero then after

triumphing over evil maybe he'd be

called to the palace to receive a medal

he'd get to meet the queen even better

he may even be the queen and rule the

world

well

he may have done some of these things

if he hadn't fallen asleep

[Music]

left over right

on his ears

pull them tight

oh hello good morning i had a great

night's sleep last night without buddy

jolly underneath the mattress anyway as

of today we can forget all about good

old buddy jolly because i'm gonna take

him to my friend and actually there's

some money as well

i wonder how sweet got on he was gonna

stay up all night guarding buddy jolly

wasn't he i bet he feels dreadful

without any sleep let's go and see how

he is come on

good morning sweet you've been a very

good boy anyway you can go to bed now

because buddy jolly is

[Music]

buddy jolly is

missing

but sweep you were in charge you were on

guard and you you you fell asleep on the

job

you're sorry

look buddy jolly is missing and all you

can say is sorry what

it must have been an inside job

why do you say that

because anybody else want to set the

booby trap off

what booby trap

so she said to booby trap

where

underneath buddy jolly

i mean underneath buddy john isn't

nothing there apart from this thing

i cannot believe it after everything

we've been through buddy johnny's been

stolen nicked what would my friends say

what will he say

thank you very much for delivering him

back on time and here's 20 pounds just a

minute how do you know what he said

simple matthew while sweep was still

asleep scampi and i took buddy jolly and

delivered him to your friend

you mean

you two took him yes you mean

he wasn't stolen at all no that's right

he's safe and sound with his rightful

owner

what scampi

and here's the money

well just i just don't know what to say

what about fish and chips all around yes

[Music]

all right go on and let's go for fish

and chips going off matthew yes sue

don't forget to put your watch on

otherwise it may get stolen and you

don't like things getting stolen do you

no you're right sue

wasn't stolen anyway all's well that

ends well and now if you'll excuse me
