Little Willy Wagtail

Lyrics
There’s a little bird that flits and hops as she teases
The magpie that sits under a tree
The cheekiest of birds that there could ever be
Little Willie Wagtail...
With plumage that’s black and belly so white she
Twitters and hops all through the day
Insects and grubs she pecks from the ground
Little Willie Wagtail
Magpies sing, kookaburras laugh
And little Willie Wagtails twitter and chirp
Hopping all around with their cheeky chirping sound
Perched up in a tree then back on the ground
On land and on sea every creature
Runs swims or flies and that’s how it should be
For the earth is their home, as it is for you and me
So little Willie Wagtail...fly free
Mm…
Little Willie Wagtail...fly free
Such A Beautiful Morning

Lyrics
Every bird sings in the morn
Mr Sun rises at dawn
Seagulls fly over the bay
Wake up and welcome the day
CHORUS
It’s such a beautiful morning
The sun is up and it’s warming
Autumn leaves are a falling,
And all the birds are a’calling
I was asleep now awake
Breakfast for me I will take
Then I will go for a walk
Meet with my friends and we’ll talk
CHORUS
CHORUS with Counterpoint
It’s such a beautiful morning / Birds are singing
The sun is up and it’s warming / Sun is rising
Autumn leaves are a falling / Seagulls flying
And all the birds are a’calling / Wake up welcome)
Magpie
Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon
Lyrics
The magpie has such a melodious voice and
Sings a melodious song
Through summer and autumn, winter and springtime
Morning then all the day long...just
Singing her song
Beetles and earthworms she likes to eat
Spiders and frogs and snails
Pecking the ground and strutting around
With the cheeky little willy wagtails
CHORUS
Her plumage is black with splashes of white
Her eyes are gold and brown
She fluffs up her feathers, carolls aloud
Protecting her piece of ground
CHORUS
September will come and she'll build her nest
High in a tall gum tree
With sticks and with grass and bark and we'll wonder
How many chicks there will be
The magpie has such a melodious voice and
Sings a melodious song
Through summer and autumn, winter and springtime
Morning then all the day long...just
Singing her, singing her, singing her song

May I introduce you to a friend of mine

Quirky Berserky, the turkey from Turkey
Not from France or Germany, Italy or Spain
Sweden Norway Denmark, Scotland Wales or England
Portugal or Poland, Switzerland or Austria – he's
Quirky Berserky, the turkey from Turkey - he's
Quirky Berserky, the turkey from Turkey
He'd always been a traveller all of his life
Always on the lookout for a turkey wife
Then one day he found her and it was a thrill
When he asked her to marry and she said 'I will'
Quirky Berserky, the turkey from Turkey
Quirky Berserky, the turkey from Turkey
Not from Indonesia, Singapore Japan
Thailand or Cambodia, Bangladesh or India
Pakistan or China, New Zealand or Australia – he's
Quirky Berserky, the turkey from Turkey - he's
Quirky Berserky, the turkey from Turkey
They decided to get married just as soon as they could
All their friends and family said that they would
Come to the wedding, have a little 'peekaboo'
And clap and cheer when they said 'I do'
Quirky Berserky, the turkey from Turkey
Quirky Berserky, the turkey from Turkey
Not from Ethiopia, Yemen or Sudan
Morocco or Tanzania, Libya Tunisia
Kenya or Botswana, Zimbabwe or Namibia - he's
Quirky Berserky, the turkey from Turkey - he's
Quirky Berserky, the turkey from Turkey
They had 4 dear little turkeys just as cute as can be
Hilary, Hope and Hattie and also Humphrey
They gobbled in the morning from very first light
They gobbled all the day and gobbled all night
Quirky Berserky, the turkey from Turkey
Quirky Berserky, the turkey from Turkey
Not from Argentina, Ecuador or Chile
Greenland or Alaska, or from Madagascar
Mexico or Cuba, the USA or Canada - he's
Quirky Berserky, the turkey from Turkey - he's
Quirky Berserky, the turkey from Turkey – he’s
Quirky Berserky, the turkey from Turkey - he's

Pretty Little Bird

Lyrics
Pretty pretty little bird
Sweetest thing you ever heard
Sings her song to me each day
Merry month of May
Sitting in the apple tree
Where she always likes to be
In the night she goes away
Then back again next day
CHORUS
Pretty little, pretty little
Pretty little bird won't you
Sing me your song sing the one that I've heard o please
Pretty little, pretty little,
Pretty little little bird won't you
Sing me your song, sing the one that I've heard
Sun arises in the morn
Another day another dawn
Hear the early morning song
Hear it loud and strong
Sighing of a gentle breeze
Leaves that rustle in the trees
The beauty of another day
And all that I can say is
CHORUS (repeated as a round)
Pretty little, pretty little
Pretty little bird won't you
Sing me your song sing the one that I've heard o please
Music of the Day

Lyrics
Look at the sky on a blue cloudless day
Captured in the glow of the sun’s golden rays
Stand on the earth on the brown eternal earth
And touch a blade of grass fresh and green.
You can see all this handiwork always on display
The grass always green the sky sometimes grey
You can breathe in the air listen to every sound
Can you feel a sense of wonder all around?
Chorus
Sing birds sing, shine sun shine
Listen to the song and look for the light
Sway treetops sway, blow winds blow
Teach me harmony to the music of the day
Teach me harmony to the music of the day
Look at the sea in the midst of the morn
Run to the sands watch the waves rolling in
There is peace on the shore, there is laughter in the wind
Where I see the seagulls call, my freedom begins.
Chorus
Springtime Of Our Dreams

Lyrics
Sing birds sing shine sun shine
Listen to the song and look for the light
Sway treetops sway, blow winds blow
Teach me harmony to the music of the day
Teach me harmony to the music of the day
You can see her in the blossom
And the blue of the sky
You can hear her in the buzzing
As the bees hurry by
In the magpie on the hilltop.
Splash of yellow midst the green
Mother Nature this September
Is the springtime of our dreams.
Tiny sparrow are you happy
Now the cold winds have gone?
Are you happy Jacaranda as you bask in the sun?
Have you woken from your slumber
With a swaying in the breeze?
Celebrations are in order
For the dawning of the spring.
For the coming of the springtime
Let us all be glad
It's more precious than a diamond
Let us all be glad.
For the wonder of the blackbird
And its sweet melody
For the coming of the springtime
The springtime of our dreams.
On a Day Like This

Lyrics
On a day like this when there’s an azure sky
I love to wander, slowly, walk down, to the sea
And watch the waves roll in as people stroll on by
On a perfect January summers day
And when the sun is hot I love to swim and watch the dolphins
Further out to sea...passing by
On a day like this when there’s an azure sky
I love to wander slowly down...to the sea
Seagulls in the sky, I watch them fly on by
As they circle round, drift easy in the breeze
Blackfaced cormorants sitting on the rocks
Tiny plovers, little birds walk on the sand
How lovely to be down here on the beach I think I may just
Take a little swim...that’s an excellent plan
Seagulls in the sky, I watch them fly on by
Circling round and round in the breeze
Summer days or winter time the heat and then the cold
Think I’ll always come and stay, stay until I’m old
When I’m here I feel so free and every single day for me
Walking down beside the sea, the perfect place to be
The perfect place for me to be is by the sea
On a day like this when there’s an azure sky
I love to wander, slowly, walk down, to the sea
And watch the waves roll in as people stroll on by
On a perfect January summers day
And when the sun is hot I love to swim and watch the dolphins
Further out to sea...passing by
On a day like this when there’s an azure sky
I love to wander slowly down...to the sea
Every day for me by the sea
