Welcome back to another Makaton Sync and Sign post!
To celebrate the fact that we are going to Scotland for the EDINBURGH FRINGE festival in August, we had a spare 15 minutes after we finished in the studio and before Miles’s School bus came back! So, we grabbed a couple of denim shirts, popped the lenses out of some 3D cinema glasses and hopped in the car for a bit Makaton sync and sign! OK, we look slightly more like Brains from Thunderbirds but you get the idea! This is one of Miles’s favourite songs (he’s a huge Shrek fan) by the Scottish icons “The Proclaimers” – I’M ON MY WAY!
THE PROCLAIMERS – I’M ON MY WAY (Here’s the sign transcription in brackets)
I’m on my way from misery to happiness today (GO / SAD / HAPPY / TODAY)
Aha, Aha, Aha, Aha (YES / YES / YES / YES)
I’m on my way from misery to happiness today (GO / SAD / HAPPY / TODAY)
Aha, Aha, Aha, Aha (YES / YES / YES / YES)
I’m on my way to what I want from this world (GO / WANT / THIS / WORLD)
And years from now, you’ll make it to the next world (FUTURE / NEXT / WORLD)
And everything that you receive up yonder (ALL / GIVE YOU / HEAVEN)
Is what you gave to me the day I wandered (GIVE ME / DAY / WALK)
I took a right, I took a right turning yesterday (*GESTURE RIGHT TURN* / YESTERDAY)
Aha, Aha, Aha, Aha (YES / YES / YES / YES)
I took a right, I took a right turning yesterday (*GESTURE RIGHT TURN* / YESTERDAY)
Yeah, yeah, yeah (YES / YES / YES)
I took the road that brought me to your home town (ROAD / HOME / TOWN)
I took the bus to streets that I could walk down (BUS / ROAD / WALK)
I walked the streets to find the one I’d looked for (WALK / ROAD / LOOK)
I climbed the stairs that led to your front door (CLIMB STAIRS / DOOR)
And now that I don’t want for anything (NOW / WANT / NOTHING)
I’d have Al Jolson sing I’m sitting on top of the world (A + J / SING / SIT / ON / WORLD)
I’ll do my best, I’ll do my best to do the best I can (DO / BEST / DO / BEST / CAN)
Aha, Aha, Aha, Aha (YES / YES / YES / YES)
I’ll do my best, I’ll do my best to do the best I can (DO / BEST / DO / BEST / CAN)
To keep my feet from jumping from the ground dear (STOP / TO JUMP)
To keep my heart from jumping through my mouth dear (STOP / HEART / VOMIT)
To keep the past, the past and not the present (STOP / HISTORY / NO / HISTORY / NOW)
To try to learn when you teach me a lesson (TRY / LEARN / TEACH)
And now that I don’t want for anything (NOW / WANT / NOTHING)
I’d have Al Jolson sing I’m sitting on top of the world (A + J / SING / SIT / ON / WORLD)
I’m on my way from misery to happiness today (GO / SAD / HAPPY / TODAY)
Aha, Aha, Aha, Aha (YES / YES / YES / YES)
I’m on my way from misery to happiness today (GO / SAD / HAPPY / TODAY)
Yeah, yeah, yeah (YES / YES / YES)
I’m on my way to what I want from this world (GO / WANT / THIS / WORLD)
And years from now, you’ll make it to the next world (FUTURE / NEXT / WORLD)
And everything that you receive up yonder (ALL / GIVE YOU / HEAVEN)
Is what you gave to me the day I wandered (GIVE ME / DAY / WALK)
I’m on my way to what I want from this world (GO / WANT / THIS / WORLD)
And years from now, you’ll make it to the next world (FUTURE / NEXT / WORLD)
And everything that you receive up yonder (ALL / GIVE YOU / HEAVEN)
Is what you gave to me the day I wandered (GIVE ME / DAY / WALK)
I’m on my way (GO)
I’m on my way (GO)
I’m on my way (GO)
I’m on my way (GO)
I’m on my way (GO)
I’m on my way (GO)
Happy signing!
