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
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!

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

May I introduce you to a friend of mine
Quirky Berserky, the turkey from Turkey
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
Quirky Berserky, the turkey from Turkey

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
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

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.

The Pied Piper of Hamelin
Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon
Lyrics
Now listen I’ll tell you a tale
A story from long time ago
In Hamelin there was a plague
A plague of dirty rats.
They ate all the cheese from the vats
And spoiled the ladies’ chats
By speaking and shrieking and squeaking
In fifty different sharps and flats.
Chorus
Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of rats
Cheeky and sneaky and ravenous rats
Fought with the dogs and they killed the cats
Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of rats.
Then one day a stranger appeared
Dressed in bright yellow and red
Said he “The Pied Piper am I
And I can get rid of those rats”.
Chorus
The piper stepped out in the street
Put his pipe to his lips and he played
He danced all the way across town…..
The people of Hamelin cheered
And rang all the bells in the town
“Go” said the Mayor “and get poles
Poke out the nests and block up the holes”.
So the piper went back to the Mayor
Who’d faithfully promised to pay
One thousand guilders reward
The Mayor said “Fifty is all you will get.”
Chorus
The piper stepped out in the street
And once again started to play
And all over Hamelin town
Came the patter of tiny feet.
They followed the piper up Koppelberg Hill
A door in the mountain swung open until
All of the children were safely inside
Then that door in the mountain swung shut.
And that’s how this sad story ends
Not one of those children returned
The lesson is clear to us all
A promise made is a promise kept.
Chorus

Lyrics
I love my little doggy
We go for walks on Sunday
Down to the windy beach and
Chase all the seagulls away
He likes to run in circles
He likes to smell the seaweed
He likes to chase the seagulls
Make them scatter
See them rise up – to the sky
I love my little doggy
We go for walks on Sunday
Down to the windy beach and
Chase all the seagulls away
