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

Lyrics
Down at the beach I swim in the sea and
Run on the soft white sand
Watch as the sun sets over the water
Mother nature’s plan
There are shells on the beach, there are crabs in the rocks
Dolphins that swim close by
There are magpies that sing their songs in the morn
And a blue blue sky
In summer or autumn, winter or springtime
Blue sky or stormy sea
I like to be at Carrickalinga
My favourite place to be
Blue sky or stormy sea
It’s my favourite place to be

Lyrics
When I feel the sun on my face
Or there's a rainbow shimmering bright
When moonbeams dance in my hands
And stars twinkle at night
CHORUS
My wishes will surely come true
And I will send my wishes to you
My wishes will surely come true
And I will send my wishes to you
When the waves break on the shore
And seagulls glide in the breeze
When children play on the sand
And starfish swim in the sea
CHORUS
Where there's fear may there be hope
And dark may there be light
Where there's war may there be peace
And wrong turned into right
CHORUS (repeated)
My wishes will surely come true

CHORUS
Sun Comes Up, Sun Goes Down
Every day all the year around
Planet Earth, human race
Living in a perfectly beautiful place
And whether it’s a dolphin playing in the sea
Or tiny little sparrow in tall gum tree
There’s beauty all around us, abundant, fragile
Precious gifts to look after
Earth is getting warmer, oceans rising higher
Storms are growing stronger, floods and fire
We know about the dangers, know there must be changes
The future is in our hands
CHORUS (3 times)
All Of The Dinosaurs
Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon
Lyrics
CHORUS
All of the dinosaurs, this much we know
Lived on the earth, millions of years ago
Tyrannosaurus Rex was the big one, the tyrant lizard
He walked on 2 legs, with a long heavy tail
13 metres long and with big sharp teeth – scary
CHORUS
Triceratops looked like a rhinoceros, with three sharp horns
And quills like a porcupine, and a backward pointing frill
You would not wish to meet when he's looking for something to eat - no way!
CHORUS
The stegosaurus ate rocks and no wonder, with a brain the size of a walnut
Plates on its back and spikes on its tail
9 metres long with 4 short legs and a very very tiny brain
CHORUS
The brontosaurus looked like a huge dragon and lived in swamps
The brachiosaurus had legs like an elephant, and a neck like a giraffe
The spinosaurus had teeth like a crocodile and could walk and swim...but
It’s hard to imagine such creatures here today
It’s such a very long time ago, but at least we can all say
CHORUS
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

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.

Lyrics
River flowing down from the mountain
River flowing down from the mountain
River flowing down from the mountain
Flow down to the sea.
Fishes they swim, swim in the river
Fishes they swim, swim in the river
Fishes they swim, swim in the river
Catch one for my tea.
Chorus
River, river, river flowing down from the mountain
River, river, river flowing down to the sea.
Wind blow cold at the top of the mountain
Wind blow cold at the top of the mountain
Wind blow cold at the top of the mountain
Cold as the wind can be.
Sky is black and the rain is a falling
Sky is black and the rain is a falling
Sky is black and the rain is a falling
Pitter patter down on me.
Chorus
Sun come up and shine on the river
Sun come up and shine on the river
Sun come up and shine on the river
Such a pretty sight to see.
Then the sun goes down its dark on the mountain
Sun goes down its dark on the mountain
Sun goes down its dark on the mountain
Black as the night can be.
Chorus
Fishy O Fishy

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.

Lyrics
And when the moon glows on clear summer evenings
Stars shine far away
And Mother Earth is still and sleeping
Rest now until the day
All the birds in slumber
No magpie sings her song
And all the children sleep and dream
Peace be still peace be still
And when the sun rises over the mountains
And dances on the ocean waves
And kookaburras laugh in the gum trees
There’s hope again with every new day
All the birds are singing
Eternal harmonies
And all across this ancient land
We give our thanks for all good things
For all good things

Lyrics
Outside the world is a cool shade of green
The grass and the trees are a sight to be seen
The sheep and the cows are munching away
Grass in their tummies at the end of the day
Grass in their tummies at the end of the day and it’s
CHORUS
Green green green green all around
The leaves on the trees the grass on the ground
Green green green green all around
The leaves on the trees the grass on the ground
Some people never never go out to play
They sit watching telly for the whole of the day
They never climb a tree or go for a ride
They stay in the house and they never go outside
They stay in the house and they never go outside
To where it’s
CHORUS
It’s nice to play with playdough, it’s nice to play with trains
Or even watch a video when it’s pouring with rain
It’s nice to play with lego when the weather’s not so fine
But it’s nice to go outside when the sun starts to shine
It’s nice to go outside when the sun starts to shine
To where it’s
CHORUS (repeated)
The leaves on the trees the grass on the ground
The leaves on the trees the grass on the ground
