The Force Of Gravity

Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon

Lyrics

If you jump up off the ground
Sure as eggs you will come down
It’s certainly the case
You won’t float off into space
The force, the force, the force of gravity...it is

Throw a ball up in the air
Any time or anywhere
Day or night no matter when
It will come back down again
The force, the force, the force of gravity...it is

CHORUS
Birds and planes they fly I look and wonder why
Such a wondrous thing they do, I wish that I could too
And sometimes in my dreams I’m up there so it seems
Then I wake up and instead I’m lying in my bed
The force, the force, the force of gravity...it is

Sir Isaac Newton he
Was sitting by a tree
An apple fell from high
He watched and wondered why
The story’s very old
But that is how it’s told….he was
The cleverest of men
To realize there and then about
The force, the force, the force of gravity...he did

CHORUS

The force the force the force
The force the force the force
The force the force the force, of gravity...IT IS!

Big Yellow Ball

Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon

Lyrics

Chorus
Big yellow ball, that’s what you are
One million kilometers wide
A hundred million kilometers round.
Big yellow ball burning in space
Day turns to night, heat turns to cold.

The earth takes a year just to travel round the sun
And it’s a mighty long way to go
Round and around and around and around
And around the sun we go

Chorus

People in the north of the Earth have the summer
When the people in the south are cold
People in the east of the Earth have their night
When the people in the west have day.

Chorus

Spring turns to summer turns to autumn turns to winter
How I love to watch the seasons change
Showers in the winter then the flowers in the spring
And then the heat on the dusty plain.

Chorus

Lyrics

Teachers: these lyrics are available in our Teachers Hub as a printable pdf 👉

Yesterday I had a body and a tail
A body and a tail, body and a tail
Yesterday I had a body and a tail
Today I’ve got two legs as well

CHORUS
What is happening to me?
Whatever can it be?
I’m not very happy and that’s because
I liked the way I was

Well blow me down it’s happening again
Happening again, happening again
Blow me down it’s happening again
There’s two legs growing at the front as well

CHORUS

Uh-oh, what’s going on my tail is getting shorter
Tail is getting shorter, tail is getting shorter
What’s going on my tail is getting shorter?
It’s going, going, gone – oh no

CHORUS

Well, now I’m a frog and I’ve more or less got used to it
More or less got used to it, more or less got used to it
But sometimes a tadpole swims up to have a quiet chat
And I know what he’s going to say

CHORUS

Now listen, it’s really rather nice to be a frog
And live at the bottom of a bog
So don’t be concerned or worry about a thing
Come on and sing sing sing

La la la la la la la…

10,000 Stars

Lyrics

Teachers: these lyrics are available in our Teachers Hub as a printable pdf 👉

CHORUS
For every grain of sand, there are 10,000 stars
Se-ven-ty septillion and they all are, away so far

Sun goes down and darkness descends
And one by one stars appear
Sirius is the one brighter than the sun
It twinkles in the sky so clear

CHORUS

On cold dark nights, when stars shine bright such a
Wondrous sight to behold
And when the moon comes out and glows
It lights up the earth below

CHORUS

Canopus is the second brightest star in the sky
Many light years from where we are
You’ll see it in the summertime at the end of the day
As the sun goes down and away

CHORUS
For every grain of sand, there are 10,000 stars
Seventy septillion and they all are, away so far
They all are, away so far
10,000 stars, so far away

All My Silkworms

Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon

Lyrics

All my silkworms love to chew
The juicy mulberry leaves I give them
Day by day they grow a little bigger
As they crawl around their
Plastic box I put them in
So that I can watch them grow
Weave and spin their silk cocoons
Now I cannot see them

Twenty days have passed and still
I have not seen my sleepy silkworms
Maybe they have gone forever
Trapped inside their silk cocoons but
Wait there’s something moving now
Fluttering its tiny wings
Standing still on tiny legs
Little moth don’t fly away
