Här kommer Piff och Puff, varje gång nu. Här kommer världens bästa räddningspatrull, som löser fallen för din skull. Här kommer Piff och Puff, är på språng nu.

Usage notes

Other than being unidiomatic and a poor match for tone (parts is closer – not fancy despite a Latin loan), English tract should give the right idea.
