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

Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon

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)

Wishes

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

Music of the Day

Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon

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

Up and Down

Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon

Lyrics

Jack Crumbleton struggled up to the top
Of a tall mountain
Looked around, heard no sound
Think I’d better come on down to the ground.

Dick Spanglehorn worked his way to the top
Of a tall oak tree.
Looked around, heard no sound
Think I’d better come on down to the ground.

Jim Tumblefly climbed so high spiral stairs
Leading up to the clear blue sky
Looked around, heard no sound
Think I’d better come on down to the ground.

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…

Green Green Green

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
