I Can Fly
V1.
If I tied balloons around my wrist then maybe I could fly, I could fly (x4)
V2.
If I tied balloons around my waist then I could float into outer space, I will fly, I will fly (x4)
CH:
Floating, soaring. Just you wait and see, just you wait and see
Floating, soaring. Just you look at me over the clear blue sea.
V3.
If I could strap on my jet pack, I’d zip right to the moon and back, I will fly, I will fly (x4)
CH:
V4.
I think I’ll grow a set of wings, just look straight up and hear me sing, I can fly, I can fly (x4)
CH: x 2

As I tried to leave the house today
CH:
As I tried to leave the house today,
my memory chose to go the other way
So i thought I’d make this little song
To try and jog my memory along
First I get my shoes and socks, quickly look and check the clock.
CH:
First I get my shoes and sock, quickly look and check the clock
Eat my brekky, tie my shoe, now what else is there to do? (I DON”T KNOW!)
CH:
First I get my shoes and sock, quickly look and check the clock
Eat my brekky, tie my shoe, now what else is there to do?
Brush my teeth and comb my hair, don’t leave my homework near the stairs (WHERE?)
CH:
First I get my shoes and sock, quickly look and check the clock
Eat my brekky, tie my shoe, now what else is there to do?
Brush my teeth and comb my hair, don’t leave my homework near the stairs
Feed the dog and pat the cat, brush the dirt off my school hat
Music practice, that’s the lot. Out the door make sure it’s locked.
Have you got everything?
Yes I think so?!
Quickly now we’re running late, don’t forget to shut the gate
off to school we’re almost there…………”Wait mum!”
I LEFT MY HOMEWORK ON THE KITCHEN CHAIR!
Maybe I’ll remember tomorrow.

Language is Funny
Sometimes I find English just a bit weird
words like; bread, box, brick, blue, bill, blog, bit and beard
but if I say it's strange, all the people think I'm deranged
and that just leaves me feeling flabbergasted.
Why do you spell all your words so wrong?
Like; k-nuckle, k-nife, k-now, k-nob, k-nit, k-nee, canoe, k-nickerbockers
But if I say it's strange, all the people people think I'm deranged
and that just leaves me feeling completely bamboozled
Have you ever stopped to think how 'Slug’.…is a really strange word?
And words like; 'liquorice' and 'kitchen' and ‘click’, are quite absurd?
Did you know you can get an infection that's called a carbuncle?
Just drain it, leave it, PRESTO!
Bob's your uncle
La la la la la la radial arm saw
La la la la la la indigestion
La la la la la la la la la la
'La' is also a strange word
La la la la la la absquatulate
I know I'll get used to words like 'slug'
cause at the dinner table your mum says ‘eat your grub!’
but if I ask how, why or what
don't get your k-nickers in a k-not.
No worries! It's easy peasy lemon squeezy (x 3)

IT’S NOT RIGHT
V1.
It’s not right to put your toes in my nose
(no it ain’t x 3)
it’s not right either day or night
it’s not right either day or night, to put your toes
(in my nose x 3)
It’s not right either night or day
Listen real hard to what I say
Don’t put your toes
(in my nose x 5)
V2.
It’s not right to call me a ‘poo poo head’
(no it ain’t x 3)
It’s not right to call me a ‘poo poo head’
(no it ain’t x 3)
it’s not right either day or night
it’s not right either day or night, to call me names
(poo poo head x 3)
It’s not right either night or day
so listen real hard to what I say
Don’t call me names
(Poo poo head x5)
It’s not about if you do or don’t like, or
if you want my favourite new bike, it’s
not about a poking, just to see me cry, or
dobbing to the teacher with a BIG FAT LIE
you’re better shaking hand on the friendship bridge,
instead of offering……..a knuckle sandwich
V3.
It’s not cool to drool in the swimming pool
(no it ain’t x 3)
It’s not cool to drool in the swimming pool
(no it ain’t x 3)
it’s not right either day or night
it’s not right either day or night, for you to drool
(in the pool x 3)
It’s not right either night or day
so listen real hard to what I say
Don’tcha drool (in the pool x 3)
It’s not right (no it ain’t x 3)
To call me names (poo poo head x 3)
It’s not right (no it ain’t x 3)
It’s not right
It’s not right
So do it RIGHT!

Rainbows Everyday
When I rise and shine each morning
I see rainbows everyday
Blue and pink and green and yellow
purple orange red and grey
Blue of sky and water shining
Red of fire, green of tree
Dark and grey the storm clouds gather
without them rainbows cannot be
CH:
When the rainbow shines so brightly
so brightly in my eyes
Seven colours gleaming brightly,
so brightly in my eyes
As the clouds begin to scatter
golden sunlight begins to shine
down through the waiting raindrops
The colours refract in their own time
As I stare up at the rainbow
red, orange, yellow, green
Next comes blue and indigo
violet I capture for my dreams
CH:
As I search across the heavens
black blue colours cross the sky
Twinkling lights forever shining
If you listen, hear them cry
When the stars shine in so brightly
so brightly in my eyes
Night time diamonds gleaming brightly
so brightly in my eyes
In my eyes, (x 4)

Water For All

Water For All
Everyone knows that we’re made up of water
birds in the sky, fish in the sea
Everything breathing is needing the water
Water for you, water for me
Whenever you need a cool drink of water
remember it doesn’t just come from the sky
Its another moment in the cycle of water
it’s always floating and falling and flowing by
CH:
Everyone knows that we all need the water
the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea
Everything breathing is needing the water
water for all, so we can live free
All of the things that we do with the water
growing our food, washing us clean
So many things that we do with the water
the oceans and dams; rivers and streams
Bridge:
I was turning my head to the night sky
knowing that water up there can be made when a star is born
Water can be any where that we’re looking
My favourite is staying and waiting for gazing on a misty morn
We need to remember that clean precious water
doesn’t flow for everyone.
But together whenever we help get clean water
We’ll be holding hands and smiling and dancing in the shining sun.
(Ch and Bridge together)
Everyone knows that we all need the water
birds in the sky, fish in the sea
Everything breathing is needing the water
Water for all so we can live free
Water for all so we can live free

Rock Rock
V1.
The world is a rock, goes 'round the sun
Three-sixty-five days, the circle is done
This rock is so cool, we'll tell you today
The way we divide them is split in three ways
V2.
The earth was young, as young as me
The planet was boiling, even the sea
Volcanoes erupted, they gave a shout
From magma to lava, Igneous rocks came out
CH:
And as I was watching the rocks, they were red as can be
I noticed that they all looked like Igneous rocks to me
Igneous rocks to me
V3.
Upon the earth's surface, of mud and sand
They preserve a recording about the land
Ancient fossils, rock fragments too
even dust on the furniture sedimentary glue
CH:
And as I was watching the rocks near the rivers and seas
I wanted to answer the question that had come to me.....
“Sedimentary my dear Watson!”
Bridge:
If life is a rock we were meant to roll
But nothing is stagnant, that would be so droll
The rolling stone gathers no moss
But that is ok because we like to rock!
V4.
I was hungry, dinner was late
Went deep underground, saw a tectonic plate
The plates were squashing, the pressure was high
The crystals were changing, they metamorphosize
CH.
And as I was watching the rocks change at tectonic station
Flat minerals at right angles organised this way, foliation
Metamorphic rock
we gotta roll (we gotta rock)
we gotta rock (we gotta roll)
we gotta rock, we gotta roll, we gotta rock, we gotta roll, we gotta rock!
“I found a rock!”

The Weekend
My name is Monday, it's a brand new week
My name is Tuesday, day two it's still the peak
My name is Wednesday, I'm half way through
My name is Thursday baby, only one more to do
'till the Weekend, the weekend, the weekend
Hello my name is Friday, celebration on the way
Hello my name is Saturday, oh what else can I say
Sunday, Sunday, sweet Sunday
'till the week begins again
’til the Weekend, the Weekend, the Weekend

If I was a kangaroo, what would I do, what would I do? x 3
I’d hop hop hop hop hop hop hop hop hop hop hop

If i was a little platypus, what would I do, what would I do? x 3
I’d swim swim swim swim swim swim swim swim swim swim swim swim
and never stop, stop, stop, stop, stop
That’s what I’d do
If I was a little kookaburra, what would I do, what would I do? x 3
I’d laugh laugh laugh laugh laugh

If you saw me today, what would I say?

That’s what I’d do
If I was a dinosaur, what would I do, what would I do? x 3

Movin On
Movin on, like this song
We’re so cool now we are in pre school
Movin on, like this song
We just started we’re in kindergarten
Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall
Humpty Dumpty had a little big fall
all the kings’ horses and all the kings’ men
couldn’t put Humpty back together again
Movin on, like this song having fun when we were in year one
Movin on, like this song lots to do when we were in year two
Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a little bitty pail of water
Jack fell down and broke his crown and Jill came tumbling after
Up Jack got and home he trot, as fast as he could caper
He went to bed to mend his head with vinegar and brown paper
Movin on, like this song feelin free when we were in year three
Movin on, like this song so much more when we were in year four
Well old King Cole was a merry old soul and a merry old soul was he
He called for his pipe and he called for his bowl and he called for his fiddlers’ three
Movin on, like this song feelin' alive when we were in year five
Movin on, like this song teach new tricks when we were in year six
The grand ole Duke of York, he had ten thousand men
He marched them up to the top of the hill and he marched them down again
and when they were up they were up, and when they were down they were down
and when they were only halfway up, they were neither up or down
Movin on like this song (x 4)

Funny old day
CH:
It’s a funny old day but it’s kinda froggy (foggy)
and I am feeling very hoppy (happy)
It’s cold and it’s wet and it’s very staining (raining)
It’s touching my clothes and now they’re raining (staining)
V1.
It’s raining tomato soup in the kitchen
my dad is trying to eat a steak with a straw
It’s raining tomato soup in the kitchen
and the sugar bowl is starting to snore!
CH:
V2.
I’ve got chocolate money in my lunchbox
i tried to buy something at the canteen
I’ve got chocolate money in my lunchbox
but I can’t buy a single thing ‘cause the canteen lady’s really mean!
CH:
V3.
There’s bird goop on the end of my toothbrush
it must have come out from my chicken pie
There’s bird goop on the end of my toothbrush
and maybe if I eat it then perhaps I’m going to die!
CH:
Don’t be complaining, I’m draining my training for your entertaining
It’s straining and waning to be ascertaining and straining to be all retaining
but this is a caning to keep on sustaining!
It’s a funny old day but it’s kinda froggy

Scabs are irresistible
I will tell you all a story sad and true
but in the end you know as I do to
A little message old as all mankind
Just look into your heart and you will find
I hit the ground, I fell onto my knee
It really hurt but it made me so happy
For in that place the skin it had to grow
and we all know, and we all know
Scabs are irresistible (x 2)
When I pick I can't stop, just to see a little blood drop
Check the edges, are they ready? Try and hold the bit real steady
Start to rip, start to tear, but it clings on in despair
Is it ready? I'm not fussy I like it better when they're pussy!
So I tug, brings a tear to my eye I can't stop even if I try
here it comes, it's nearly free
Oh this scab, this scab, this scab is just soooo JUUUUUICY!
Scabs are irresistible (x 2)
We pick pick pick pick pick pick
Pick picka pick pick pick picka pick etc...
My mum asks me not to pick because it makes her feel real sick
and everybody knows just why it hurts so much but we must try
To pick until it comes away and with the crusty bit we play
We pick until it bleeds and then another scab will grow again!
Scabs are irresistible (x 4)
We pick picka pick pick
pick picka pick pick
pick picka pick picka pick
pick pick!

The Greatest Way to Learn
Steppin’ outside I was having myself a good time
I put my toe upon the footpath, thought everything was oh so fine
Putting left foot after right foot, I looked up, that was the biggest mistake
For my feet they don’t have eyes and so they didn’t see the old garden rake!
CH:
Every now and then I have to give myself the same old lesson
And the answer is always the same and so I guess it’s a blessing
If you wish to be wise then every opportunity you should take
And the greatest way to learn is to make a mistake.
I was going shopping and mum said “Please don’t forget,
lots of picnic goodies and a brand new plastic cutlery set”
But I didn’t write a list and that turned out to be the biggest mistake
for I bought the spoon and knife and fork but somehow I forgot my own birthday cake!
CH:
Words to the wise, babies, children, adults
the definition of stupidity is doing the same thing over and over
but expecting different results!
Now I’m getting older and I’m always trying to learn from my mistakes
now my toe goes in the water, then my body goes to plunge in the lake
Everybody’s learning every moment, every minute, every day
And we all can find the…”Oh, NOW I get it!”
That’s why you’ll hear us singing as we say…
CH:
I made a mistake with the old garden rake. I made a mistake
I made a mistake to wake and ache to break the rake
I made a mistake to bake a steak of snake in a cake
I made a mistake
He made a mistake
We all make mistakes!
