CHORUS
Kangaroo hop (bup she wup)
Emu run (diddely dum)
Crocodile Glide (you better hide)
You don’t wanna be in his inside
Kookaburra sing (ding a ling)
Blowfly fly (me o mi)
Mister Crocodile glide (you better hide)
You don’t wanna be in his inside
No No No – at Christmas
I tell you what, it’s very hot
So why don’t you jump into
A swimming pool, it’ll be so cool
And swim to the end, turn around
Then back again, so easy
CHORUS
Yellow sun, river run
Burning land, desert sand
If only rain would come again
It would be I'm sure you would agree
The perfect gift for Christmas
INSTRUMENTAL
LAST CHORUS
Kangaroo hop (bup she wup)
Emu run (diddely dum)
Crocodile glide (you better hide)
You don’t wanna be in his inside
Kookaburra sing (ding a ling)
Blowfly fly (me o mi)
Mister Crocodile glide (you better hide)
Would you like to be in his inside?
No we don’t wanna be in his inside!
Are you sure you wouldn’t like to be in his inside?
No we don’t wanna be in his inside!
No! No! No! – at Christmas
Things To Do On The Weekend

Lyrics
Invite a gorilla around for a snack
Run with an ostrich perched on your back
Sing with a chicken sitting on your head
Sleep with a kangaroo beside you in bed
Lift up your father, hang him from the ceiling
Then ask him sweetly, "How are you feeling?"
Take your pet rock on a trip to the zoo
Then think up some more things while sitting on the loo!
The Little Red Hen

Lyrics
The little red hen thought that she would
Plant the wheat and it would be good
To ask her friends to help
CHORUS
‘Not I’ said the dog
‘Not I’ said the cat
‘Not I’ said the duck
‘Not I’ said the pig
Then I’ll just have to do it myself
Soon the wheat had grown up tall
The time had come to cut it all
She asked her friends to help
CHORUS
The wheat had to be ground in to flour
She knew it would take, many an hour
She asked her friends to help
CHORUS
The next thing to do was bake the bread
Maybe her friends would like to be fed
She asked them all to help
CHORUS
Soon the bread was ready to eat
Her friends all thought we’ll have a little treat
But the little hen shook her head
You did not help me plant the wheat or grind it into flour
So I think that I instead will eat up all this bread
That’s how the story goes, the answer was 4 ‘Nos’
No bread for the dog
No bread for the cat
No bread for the duck
No bread for the pig
And she said ‘I’ll eat it myself’
And she did!

Lyrics
I can run, look at me
I can jump, can you see?
I can hop, look at me
No one else is faster than me
No, no one else is faster than he
Well even though I may be slow
I always get where I need to go
Curl up tight inside my shell
Happy and warm, in the place I dwell
But I can run, look at me
I can jump, can you see?
I can hop, look at me
No one else is faster than me
No, no one else is faster than he
Well let me ask you, face to face
How would you like to have a race?
If I came first and you came last
Even though you’re very fast
But he can run, look at me
He can jump, can you see?
He can hop, look at me
No one else is faster than me
He can run, look at him
He can jump, he will win
He can hop, look at him
He’s fit and strong, and healthy and trim
And no one else is faster than him
Well you’ve heard the story
There was no glory
Hare ran the first mile then
He rested a while but
Too long did he take
It was a very big mistake because
Although he was fast
He finished last
Said Tortoise ‘It’s me, who’s usually behind
More often than not, at the end of the line
But sometimes it’s true, sometime’s the case
That slow and steady wins the race’

Lyrics
If 6 flies landed on your jelly…..
Then how would you feel – Err Yuck!
If 5 mosquitoes swam around your soup….
Then how would you feel – Err Yuck!
If 4 frogs hopped into your bed…
Then how would you feel – Err Yuck!
If 3 snails slithered on to your sandwiches …..
Then how would you feel – Err Yuck!
If 2 toffee apples got tangled in your hair …..
Then how would you feel – Err Yuck! – and
If one elephant sat upon your head ….
Then how would you feel – Squashed!
Very Strange Cat

Lyrics
A cat came to stay just the other day
I already had one but I thought well, it might be fun
To have two in the house, make life hard for the mouse.
So, as from now there’ll be a second meiow
Every morning at seven – “Let them in, will you Kevin?”
“I say, you’re an awfully good chap” said the brand new cat
“Could you see your way clear to fetch some milk over here?
My throat’s rather dry and well not to be shy…
So what do you think, any chance of a drink?”
I found him a glass extra fast
He licked and slurped, swallowed then burped
Then said with a wave “Must be off, got to see Dave.”
He never came back – and that was that.
Very strange cat!

Can I stay and talk with you? Boing boing.
He said, ‘I’d love to stay but must be on my way,
But you can be sure that I’ll be back some day.’
Boing boing boing boing boing boing boing.

Consider me as your friend - cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck.
The Billy Goat's Gruff

Lyrics
A little billy goat stepped on to a bridge
Only to be met by a hungry Troll
“I’ve seen some greener grass so please let me pass”
“But I want to eat you up” said the Troll.
Don’t eat me up, don’t eat me up
There’s a bigger billy goat coming soon.
Don’t eat me up, don’t eat me up,
Please Mr Troll, let me go.
A bigger billy goat stepped on to the bridge
Only to be met by a hungry Troll.
“I’ve seen some greener grass so please let me pass”
“But I want to eat you up” said the Troll.
Don’t eat me up, don’t eat me up
There’s a bigger billy goat coming soon.
Don’t eat me up, don’t eat me up,
Please Mr Troll, let me go.
The biggest billy goat stepped on to the bridge
Only to be met by a hungry Troll.
“I’ve seen some greener grass so please let me pass”
“But I want to eat you up” said the Troll.
“Is that so?” said the goat to the Troll
“I’m feeling kinda peckish myself you know.
I think I’ll start with you Mr Juicy Troll,
You look a tasty bite – yes I think I’ll eat you!”
Oh don’t eat me up, don’t eat me up
Find another Troll and let me go
Don’t eat me up, don’t eat me up,
Find another Troll and let me go.

Lyrics
There once was a pussy cat called George Cryolot Crumble
And each day from the shed he would eventually stumble.
Meiow, meiow, cried George Cryolot Crumble
Meiow, meiow, cried George Cryolot Crumble.
One morning in May, when rain was a-falling,
There was a scratching on the shed, was that his master calling?
Meiow, meiow, cried George Cryolot Crumble
Meiow, meiow, cried George Cryolot Crumble.
He opened the door, and standing there before him
Was a Great Dane as tall, as tall as a building.
Meiow, meiow, cried George Cryolot Crumble
Meiow, meiow, cried George Cryolot Crumble.
“I’m as hungry as hungry as hungry” said the Great Dane
George shivered in fright in the wind and the rain.
Meiow, meiow, cried George Cryolot Crumble
Meiow, meiow, cried George Cryolot Crumble.
And what do you know about that shed and that pussy cat?
Well all I can say is that the Great Dane is now rather, in fact, I’d say, very, very, very fat!
Meiow, meiow, was that a tummy rumble?
Meiow, meiow, poor George Cryolot Crumble.

Lyrics
CHORUS
Thelma Brown lived in a zoo
There were cows in her kitchen and roosters on view
Dogs in her dining room, cats in there too
And a husband called Cedric and a big kangaroo.
Ev’ry morn at six o’clock sharp
Thelma Brown arose in the dark
Cats and dogs, roosters and crows, kangaroos to attend
And a husband called Cedric who was going round the bend
CHORUS
Every night at half after nine
Cedric would say, “Oh dear its about my bedtime”
And every morn he’d awake with a snore
With the kangaroo in bed, and him on the floor!
CHORUS
One day Thelma brought home a giraffe
Cedric well he just broke down and laughed.
“Thelma dear, there’s no room in our zoo”
“But Cedric” she said, “how ‘bout the loo?”
CHORUS
What can you say, what can you do
When you live with a wife, who lives in a zoo?
Well you can’t make a fuss, you can’t even complain
Cos if you do you just end up out in the rain.
Thelma Brown lived in a zoo
There were cows in her kitchen and roosters on view
Dogs in her dining room, cats in there too
And a husband called Cedric who’s about to shoot through!

Lyrics
Oscar was a rhinoceros who loved to have tea
With Mr Hairy Gorilla down at the local zoo
They gobbled down bananas and lots of strawberry icecream
And polly waffles and caramel cake
And chips and buns and creamy puffs
And chocolate crackles and coconut roughs
And jelly beans and apple pies
And twenty one pieces of pizza
And finished off with a milkshake
And then they felt sick!!

O little Koala Koala Koala Ko
Up in the eucalypt eucalypt eucalypt tree
Why do you sleep all day sleep all day
How can this be
Koala wake up time for some tea.
Fresh gum leaves juicy o juicy as juicy can be
Fresh from the eucalypt eucalypt eucalypt tree
O little Koala Koala Koala Ko
Did you know that
The children all love you so
Now then its K and then O and then A and then L
And then it’s A if Koala’s the word you want to spell
You’re not a bear even though everyone thinks it’s so
I think you’re the sweetest thing that I know
And did you know that the children all love you so

Lyrics
Fishy O fishy you swim in the sea
Fishermen would catch you and eat you for supper
Fishy O fishy go swim far away
To the bottom of the ocean.
Little birdie little birdie you sing your sweet song
In my garden every day merrily chirping
Birdie little birdie how sweetly you sing
Pretty songs in the morning.
Every creature on the earth has a reason to be
Whether great or small they are part of the kingdom
Birds in the air and the fish in the sea
Great or small now they are part of the kingdom.
This Little Pig
Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon
Lyrics
This little pig went to market
This little pig stayed home
This little pig he had roast beef but
This little pig had none.
First little pig who went off to market
Brought home his friend John Cleese
And soon as were able sat down at table
Ate up the bread and cheese.
Pig number two well he was the shy one
He liked to stay at home.
He did the cleaning, washing and ironing
He gave the dog his bone.
Third little pig now he was a fat pig
Plump as a pudding was he
Roast beef for breakfast, roast beef for lunch
Then roast beef for afternoon tea.
The last little pig well he didn’t really have much
He didn’t really have much at all.
He moped around the house with a sad look on his face
Unlike Cinderella he never went to the ball – and he said
I’ve never been to the market
I’ve only ever stayed at home
I’ve never ever had roast beef
I’ve never had anything at all
This little pig shall go to market
This little pig shall leave home
This little pig shall have roast beef
This little pig shall have it all.
