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)

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)

Magpie

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

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

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.

All Good Things

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

I Dreamed I Could Fly

Lyrics

I dreamed I could fly like a bird in the sky
So easy it was but I never wondered why
How I could glide so high
It seemed, I hardly needed to try

On a street near the place where as a child I used to be
Time has past but the memory stays with me
I dreamed I flew in the street
I played when I was very young
