Then you should get to know me, I'll teach you other stuff.

But inside, I'm tall.

Other 12 girls: She may be teeny tiny,

Diminutive petite,

But that has never stopped her,

From being pretty neat!

Dum dee dum dee dum,

Dum, dee dum dee dum,

Madeline,

She's Madeline, she's Madeline,

We hope you have it straight.

Madeline: I'm Madeline, I'm Madeline,

And inside, I'm great!

Riley & Madeline and the Dog Show

Narrator: In an old house in Paris that was covered with vines,

Lived thirteen little girls in two straight lines.

As both girls slid down a rail each.

They left the house at half past nine,

In two straight lines in rain or shine.

The older one was Riley, and the smallest one was Madeline.

Whatever the girls want, their dog wanted too.

There was nothing Genevieve could not do.

Genevieve was suddenly on the horse, showing a number of tricks she can do.

Then she puts on a funny puppet show, everybody loved her well.

All the girls and Miss Clavel "Bravo!"

Miss Clavel said "Madeline, I believe that Genevieve is the smartest dog in all Paris!"

Madeline said "Excuse moi Miss Clavel, but that is not correct"

Miss Clavel said "No?"

Madeline said "No, Genevieve is the smartest dog in all the world!"

Miss Clavel said "Oui oui, Madeline that is correct."

Narrator: As Genevieve walked from door to door, her many friends would say "Bonjour!"

As the lady put water out for her to drink, the butcher gives her sausages, and the florist gives her a flower to wear in her hair.

Narrator: One day, Genevieve began to bark when she saw a poster near the park. A contest would be held to see which dog was the finest in Paris.

Riley said "A competition to find the finest dog in all of Paris? Genevieve Marie that is you!"

Nicole said "Without a doubt, why look?"

Chloe said "Her coat is so shiny!"

Danielle said "So is her nose"

Madeline said "Her manners are prefect too"

Miss Clavel said "Me oui it's true, the finest dog in Paris- I mean in all the world is Genevieve Marie!"

Narrator: In the thirteen little girls adoring eyes, their dog had already won first prize.

Madeline said "What other dog can juggle?"

As Genevieve Marie juggles apples.

Riley said "And of course multiplies"

3 x 3 = 9

4 x 4 = 16

"And sing all at once"

All the girls shouted "Bravo Genevieve!"

Narrator: So the girls groomed Genevieve from head to toe, to make sure she would win the best in show.

Madeline said "You are the best smelling dog in Paris n'est-ce pas?"

Genevieve sneezed

Riley said "And braver too!" As she hugged Madeline.

Narrator: For they recalled Genevieve the brave, who had saved Madeline from a watery grave, but when the time to leave drew near, Miss Clavel cried "Oh dear oh dear, what an awful mess you girls have made here!"

Madeline said "Pardon moi Miss Clavel, I know we have made a mess but it was worth it, look at our Genevieve!"

Riley tought "Genevieve isn't not the perfect dog?"

Miss Clavel said "Oui oui Riley and Madeline, Genevieve is the perfect dog! Now let us make this room as clean as this doggy!"

Narrator: In a blink of a eye, the old house was neat, and the girls all headed up the street. Dogs of evey shape, and size come to try for the famous prize, but Madeline and Riley did not worry a bit, their dog would win, both sisters was sure of it.

Lady said "May I help you little girl?"

Riley said "My sister, friends and I want to enter Genevieve Marie in the competition s'il te plaît."

Lady said "Very well, here is your entry number."

Man said "No no this will not do!"

Narrator: Just when Genevieve was about to enter, a man stepped forward front, and center.

Man said "This dog cannot compete!"

Woman said "No no no!"

Miss Clavel said "What is the reason for this?"

Woman said "This dog cannot compete because she has no pedigree!"

Man said "A mixed breed of any uncertain hesitation, she is not good enough for this show no no, and again no!"

Madeline said "That is true she has no pedigree, but we will go get one, come let us go to the pedigrees shop!"

Miss Clavel said "Impossible Madeline, a pedigree shows that the dogs parents are both the same breed, and Genevieve Marie is a mixture."

Narrator: The dog could not enter with no pedigree, but Madeline and their friends did not agree.

Miss Clavel said "We do not need a pedigree to know that Genevieve is the best dog in the world!"

All the girls said "Yes yes yes, we love you Genevieve Marie!"

Miss Clavel said "Exactments moi."

Riley said "Now all of Paris will never know what a wonderful dog you are"

Narrator: The girls were feeling sad, and blue till Madeline said

Madeline said "This won't do, we know that Genevieve is the best doggie, and now we must show the other, allonez!"

Riley said "Maddie wait up!"

Narrator: Because Madeline showed so much emotion, she ended up causing quite a commotion.

Madeline said "What do you mean Genevieve can't enter? She is magnifique, she is sympathic!"

Woman said "She is pathetic!"

Riley said "No no madame, you are wrong! My Genevieve is a wonderful friend, she is faithful and truthful. Another thing Mrs. Hair Woman, she has even saved my twin sister's life, and she deserves the chance to prove to the world that she is the perfect dog!"

Riley

Some dogs bark, some dogs bite.

But my dog tucks me in at night.

Some dogs howl, some dogs yelp.

But you can call my dog for help.

All the girls

She's perfect, perfect, perfect!

She's the perfect dog!

Give her a test. You'll see that she is the best.

Madeline

Some dogs growl, some dogs whine.

But mine can whistle "Madeline."

Some dogs chase, some dogs flee.

Mine swims across the sea.

All the girls

She's perfect, perfect, perfect.

She's the perfect dog.

Give her a test. You'll see that she is the best.

Riley

Some dogs scratch, some dogs lick.

But my dog does arithmetic.

Madeline

Some dogs fight, some defend.

But my dog is a girl's best friend.

All the girls

She's perfect, perfect, perfect.

She's the perfect dog.

Give her a test. You'll see that she is the best.

Madeline

She needs no test. I know that she is the best.

Woman said "I do not care what you said, she is till a mutt, and she doesn't belong in this show!"

Lady said "There's only one person who can decide, we will ask the judge for his opinion."

Narrator: The Judge then held a consultation, checking every regulation.

Judge said "No cats, no bunnies, no gray squirrels, no grown ups, no boys and ah oui- no girls!" and no Cow's

Riley said "No girls? Hey it didn't say no girls allowed? We are twin sisters, we are not leaving our dog with you sir!"

Judge whispered to the other judge "This girl sure gets a mouth filled with words!"

The second judge said "Yes, but they are little girls, not teenage girls."

Narrator: After a lengthy discussion, the judges concluded that mixed breeds like Genevieve could be included.

So Genevieve took her rightful position, in the all of Paris' dog show competition.

As the second judge blew his whistle.

As hunters, the dogs looked most attractive.

The first judge said "Perfect hunting frames, bon a born hunter!"

Narrator: But Genevieve was much less active.

The first judger said "Aren't you going to point?"

As Genevieve was back with a picnic lunch.

The first judge said "Fantastique! A prefect reverent!"

All the girls said "Bravo Genevieve!"

Madeline said "Riley, did you bring a picnic?"

Riley said "No, why do you ask Maddie?"

Madeline said "Just wondering"

Riley said "Congratulations mon amie!"

Madeline said "Riley it just me or are the dogs, and their owners are growling at us!"

Judge number one said "Heal!"

Narrator: In obedience all the dogs did well.

Genevieve pointed down.

The first judge said "Sit!"

Narrator: But only Genevieve did excel.

Judge one said "Magnifique! One hundred percent!"

Judge one said "Poodle bon, Afghan hound bon, très bien bull dog très bien!"

Miss Clavel said "Goodness, those other dogs are doing very well."

Madeline said "Oui Miss Clavel, but don't worry they cannot hold a canine to our Genevieve!"

Narrator: In appearance no one could quite compare with Genvevieve, and her amazing hair.

Judge one said "And what breed shall I put down?"

Narrator: She had a talent very rare.

Judge one said "Ah a Poodle! Oh an Afghan hound? No, a bull dog?"

Madeline said "It pays to be a mixed breed, doesn't it me petite chien?"

Judge one said "One hundred and ten percent!"

Narrator: And when the time came to retrieve, no one did better then Genevieve.

Judge one said "Extraordinaire! One hundred twenty pecent!"

Narrator: Even in the hardest test, Genevieve was declared the best.

Judge one said "One hundred and fifty percent!"

Narrator: Her competitors were not impressed, but no one was surprised to know that Genevieve won best of show.

All the girls said "Bravo Genevieve, très bien!"

Narrator: And then the shout came from below.

Man said "No no no, it cannot be so!"

Narrator: Saying Genevieve had not won best of show.

All the girls said "No?"

Miss Clavel said "No?"

Judger one said "No?"

Man said "No!"

Riley said "And why is this so? Mister sore loser?"

Man said "Because Madames and Monsieurs, this so call champion, this mutt, this Genevieve has got a flea!"

Madeline said "A Flea?"

Narrator: the presence of a tiny flea made everyone act crazy.

Riley said "Genevieve I know you do not have a flea."

Narrator: Though Genevieve was calm and quiet.

As the girls gasped.

Miss Clavel said "Perhaps she got it from one of them!"

Narrator: The rest of the show was thrown into a riot.

Woman said "These fleas are everywhere!"

Narrator: The crowd want wild with yells, and screams worse than Miss Clavel's most awful dreams, it was hard to believe that a tiny flea could cause so much anxiety.

Miss Clavel said "Oh my!"

All the eleven girls said "Oh dear!"

Riley said "Oh no!"

Madeline said "But how I mean we washed Genevieve before we came."

Narrator: Those well bread doggies could not swim, and that is when Genevieve dived right in.

Madeline said "Genevieve!"

Miss Clavel said "Be careful Genevieve, be careful girls!"

Narrator: There was large dogs, small dogs, bull dogs, she saved them all.

All the girls said "That's our dog!"

Madeline said "My Genevieve!"

Judge said "Genevieve with score of three hundred points, I pronounce you best of show!"

Narrator: As Genevieve received the prize, the audience all had teary eyes.

Man said "Vit Genevieve!"

Woman said "Hooray Genevieve!"

Narrator: And then the mayor did arrive, although she had no pedigree, Genevieve won the key to Paris, she had saved the Mayor's dog you see; the applause continued stronger and loud, Genevieve was very proud.

Riley said "We always knew you were the perfect dog Genevieve!"

Narrator: The whole city seemed to celebrate the victory of a dog so great, the girls could not wait to spread the good news.

Ms. Murphy said "Girls, I just cleaned the house!"

Narrator: But first, they had to clean their shoes.

Madeline said "Save me Genevieve, save me!"

As Genevieve splashed Madeline

Chloe said "I crown you queen of the royal bath!"

Narrator: The rest of the evening was strictly fun.

All the girls said "We love our bread, we love our butter, but most of all we love each other."

Narrator: With special treats for everyone.

Riley said "And we also love le gateau au chocolat!"

Narrator: At bedtime teeth was brushed just right, then everybody said goodnight.

Miss Clavel said "Good night little girls I hope you sleep well!"

All the girls said "Good night, good night dear Miss Clavel!"

Narrator: And Miss Clavel turned off the light.

All the girls said "Good night Genevieve!"

Madeline said "Come on Genevieve, a heroine like you deserves a soft bed."

Narrator: Madeline felt it was only right to switch with Genevieve just for one night.

Madeline said "After all, she is the perfect dog!"

Narrator: So Madeline slept soundly on the floor, and that's all there is there isn't anymore.
