Lyrics

I have a drum that I can beat
I have a drum that I can beat
I have a drum that I can beat
Would you like to hear it?

‘Yes I would’ – OKAY

I have a bell that I can ring
I have a bell that I can ring
I have a bell that I can ring
Would you like to hear it?

‘Yes I would’ – OKAY

I have a shaker I can shake
I have a shaker I can shake
I have a shaker I can shake
Would you like to hear it?

‘Yes I would’ – OKAY

I have hands that I can clap
I have hands that I can clap
I have hands that I can clap
Would you like to hear them?

‘Yes I would’ – OKAY

I have a voice that likes to sing
I have a voice that likes to sing
I have a voice that likes to sing
Sing and play together

La la la…

Tom Can Play The Trumpet

Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon

Lyrics

Tom can play the trumpet very well
Pianissimo or loud with a capital L
How he loves to practise every day
Listen, listen, listen to him play
This way, that way.

Ben likes to take his French horn to the town
He likes to play in his slippers and dressing gown
And how he loves to practise every day
Listen, listen, listen to him play
This way, that way.

Kate likes to play the tuba sitting on the fence
She’s not blessed with a great deal of common sense
But how she loves to practise every day
Listen, listen, listen to her play
This way, that way.

Clare takes the bus but sometimes she takes the train
She plays the trombone drives the passengers insane
And how she loves to practise every day
Listen, listen, listen to her play
This way, that way.

Supermarket

Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon

Lyrics

I rode on my bike to the baker shop
Bought some buns bought some bread bought some rolls bought some cake
I took ‘em back home at the speed of sound
My mother said to me you could’ve bought that -

Chorus
At the supermarket, supermarket
Anything you want you can buy what you like at the supermarket.

The next day I went to the fruit and veg shop
Bought some apples and some pears and bananas in pyjamas
My mother said to me when I got back home
Now listen don’t you know you could’ve bought all that –

Chorus

My Daddy walked in with his arms full of stuff
He had cheese and milk and butter and yoghurt
Marmalade vegemite cocopops coon cheese
Naturally of course he had bought all this –

Chorus

If you wanna go somewhere that’s different you know
Where you don’t get a trolley and you walk down the row
You could go but a car or a bus or a truck
‘Cos you won’t find them I can tell you right now –

Chorus

And you won’t find a flute bassoon or tympani
Violin double bass playing in the symphony
You’ll never find that if you spend every hour
Of the day and the night and you can’t take a shower –

Chorus

When I’m 13

Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon

Lyrics

When I’m thirteen I’m gonna start a band
With drum kit bass and a saxophone
And me as the guitar man
We’ll play at Sullivan’s disco every Saturday night
And maybe rock on Countdown
When the time is right
When I’m thirteen I’m gonna start a band.

When I’m thirteen I’m gonna set the beat
With soul at the disco and bop-a-long in the street
So kick up your heels start dancing
Say goodbye to the day
Get with the rock and rolling
Grooving the night away.
When I’m thirteen I’m gonna set the beat.

Doop der doo next October
Doop der doo I’ll be older
Doop der doo come October I’ll be thirteen
Doop der doo start that rock band
Doop der doo sing on Countdown
Doop der doo I wonder what my Dad will say – “Okay!”

Now I’m thirteen and I’ve got a rock and roll band
And every Friday we get together and jam
There’s Donald on the trumpet, Billy playing the bass
There’s Sally on the saxophone
And me I’m the guitar man.
Now I’m thirteen and I’ve got a rock and roll band
I’ve got a rock and roll band
I’ve got a rock and roll band – doop der doo.

Chopsticks

Sheet Music | Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon

Lyrics

I play the violin every morning
And every evening of every day
Suzuki Bach Vivaldi Schumann
But really all that I want to play is –

(Chopsticks tune)

I play the grand piano practice
My chords and scales and arpeggios
So boring and it drives my family
Up the wall Dad says ‘Why don’t you play’ –

(Chopsticks tune)

I play the flute the silver flute
But it doesn’t sound much like James Galway
I wonder if when he was ten whether
Sometimes he was allowed to play –

(Chopsticks tune)

I’d really love to sing a classical
Song or two at the Opera House
And sound like Pavarotti
La la la la la la la la la la la.

(Chopsticks tune)
