Down in the South Lullaby

Lyrics

Down in the South at Christmas time
Christmas time Christmas time – there's
Silent night by candlelight
The stars shine bright, such a perfect night

Little children sleepy heads`are yawning
Go to sleep now soon it will be morning
Jingle bells all is well
Nothing could be better
Gentle breeze Christmas trees
In the summer weather

But up in the North at Christmas time
Christmas time Christmas time
There’s rain and snow and cold winds blow
There’s mistletoe and fires glow (and)

Little children sleepy heads are yawning
Go to sleep now soon it will be morning
Jingle bells all is well
Nothing could be better
Morning light snow is white
In the winter weather

Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm
Silent night Holy night
All is calm All is bright

Lyrics

CHORUS
Kangaroo hop (bup she wup)
Emu run (diddely dum)
Crocodile Glide (you better hide)
You don’t wanna be in his inside
Kookaburra sing (ding a ling)
Blowfly fly (me o mi)
Mister Crocodile glide (you better hide)
You don’t wanna be in his inside
No No No – at Christmas

I tell you what, it’s very hot
So why don’t you jump into
A swimming pool, it’ll be so cool
And swim to the end, turn around
Then back again, so easy

CHORUS

Yellow sun, river run
Burning land, desert sand
If only rain would come again
It would be I'm sure you would agree
The perfect gift for Christmas

INSTRUMENTAL

LAST CHORUS
Kangaroo hop (bup she wup)
Emu run (diddely dum)
Crocodile glide (you better hide)
You don’t wanna be in his inside
Kookaburra sing (ding a ling)
Blowfly fly (me o mi)
Mister Crocodile glide (you better hide)
Would you like to be in his inside?
No we don’t wanna be in his inside!
Are you sure you wouldn’t like to be in his inside?
No we don’t wanna be in his inside!
No! No! No! – at Christmas

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

Magpie

Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon

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

You Like The Blue Sky And I Like The Gray

Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon

Lyrics

I like the cold days and I like the rain
Frost in the morning on wet window panes
Maybe I'm crazy to think in this way
You like the blue sky and I like the gray

I like the sun, the warmth of the day
Blue of the sky, children at play
I go to the seaside, walk on the sand
Then say my goodbyes with a wave of the hand

Winter and then spring, summer then autumn too
Seasons come and seasons go

I like the crisp of the long winter nights
The twinkle of stars and the bright city lights
And when I awake in the cold of the morn
The sun has come up and a new day has dawned

Winter and then spring, summer then autumn too
Seasons come and seasons go

Verse 1 & 2 together

Welcome To The Autumn

Lyrics

Easter time in Autumn it's colder in the morning
The days are getting shorter, the nights are getting longer

CHORUS
Summer's going going away it's colder now with every day
So welcome to the Autumn, welcome to the Autumn
Welcome to the Autumn time the prettiest of all

Would you like to play some netball, would you like to play some football
It's practice on a Wednesday and matches on a Saturday

CHORUS

Yellow red leaves golden brown leaves
Falling down upon the path please
Do not sweep them all away they make a golden carpet scattered
Underneath the trees

The swimming pools are closing, the chilly winds are blowing
It's overcast and raining but there aint no use complaining

CHORUS
Summer's going going away, it's colder now with every day
So welcome to the Autumn, welcome to the Autumn
Welcome to the Autumn time the prettiest of
Welcome to the Autumn, welcome to the Autumn
Welcome to the Autumn time the prettiest of all

Emily's Song

Lyrics

Perfect in her father’s eyes
Tranquil sleepy yet somehow wise
A sister for the elder two
And how she’ll make them smile for you.

Song of joy to all she brings
Born a babe in the cool of spring
And gazing out through half closed eyes
She gently sighs sweet lullabies.

Sleep child sleep tonight
Your star shines clear and bright
Your peace child stills the night
And your love makes all things right.

Lyrics

The days are long, the weather’s fine
We eat outside, it’s summertime
Friends come round, have some tea
Lots to eat, for you and me – there’s

CHORUS
Chops and sausages sizzling on the barbecue
Popping and a crackling and a sizzling on the barbecue
There’s chops and sausages sizzling on the barbecue

Not a single cloud, passes by
The sun is hot, the earth is dry
Some lemonade, goes down a treat
And then it’s time, for more to eat –there’s

CHORUS

No more work, no more school
Lazy days, by the pool
Half past five, a little sniff
And there it is, that familiar whiff - of

CHORUS
Chops and sausages sizzling on the barbecue
Popping and a crackling and a sizzling on the barbecue
There’s chops and sausages sizzling on the barbecue
Popping and a crackling and a sizzling on the barbecue
There’s chops and sausages sizzling on the barbecue

Juicy Juicy Green Grass

Lyrics

Juicy juicy green grass
Where have you gone?
Will you come back?
Juicy juicy green grass

Summer’s been so dry
Turned you into brown
Will you come back?
Juicy juicy green grass

I’m so hungry now my tummy’s rumbling around
I’d better take a rest I’d better go and lie down
I’ve never been so hungry, I’ve never been so hungry
I’ve never been so hungry before

Juicy juicy green grass
How I love to chew you
So will you come back
Juicy juicy green grass

I really really need you
For breakfast lunch and tea
So will you come back
Juicy juicy green grass

CHORUS (4 times)
And the rain keeps tumberlin’ down
Listen it’s a wonderful sound

Give me the chill of the frost in the morning
The gray of the sky and the cold of the night
The green of the garden, the pools on the roadside
It’s cold in the evening so snuggle up tight

CHORUS (twice)

I looked out my window the Mount Lofty Ranges
So green and so still on a cold rainy day
People say when will the winter be over?
But I love the showers and the deep shades of gray

CHORUS (twice)

INTERLUDE (sing twice/together with chorus)
Thunder and lightning and storms on the mountain
Rivers are flowing and oceans are pounding
Winds are a-howlin’ and trees are a-shakin’
Lightning is flashing and hailstones are falling

CHORUS (4 times)
