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
A Frog in my Cheese Sandwich

Lyrics
Well...let me just say because, just the other day there was
A frog in my cheese sandwich
It was a big surprise, I couldn’t believe my eyes
Well...let me just say because, just the other day there was
A caterpillar on my nose
A frog in my cheese sandwich
It was a big surprise, I couldn’t believe my eyes
Well...let me just say because, just the other day there was
A blowfly in my ear
A caterpillar on my nose
A frog in my cheese sandwich
It was a big surprise, I couldn’t believe my eyes
Well...let me just say because, just the other day there was
A jellyfish in my bed
A blowfly in my ear
A caterpillar on my nose
A frog in my cheese sandwich
It was a big surprise, I couldn’t believe my eyes
Well...let me just say because, just the other day there was
A grasshopper on my toes
A jellyfish in my bed
A blowfly in my ear
A caterpillar on my nose
A frog in my cheese sandwich
It was a big surprise, I couldn’t believe my eyes
Well...let me just say because, just the other day there was
A dinosaur in the loo
A grasshopper on (pause)
Hey wait a minute, a dinosaur in the loo?! I don’t think so!
Tyrannasaurus Rex!
Mm...big bathroom
A grasshopper on my toes
A jellyfish in my bed
A blowfly in my ear
A caterpillar on my nose
A frog in my cheese sandwich
It was a big surprise, I couldn’t believe my eyes
A dinosaur in the loo? That is ridiculous! Not possible!
O Little One
Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon | Sheet Music
Lyrics
O little one O little one
All wrapped in swaddling clothes
Your mother sings sweet lullabies
Your daddy watches o’er
There was no room inside the inn
In Bethlehem that night
The ox and ass stood round your bed
The star outside shone bright
The shepherds they were watching o’er
Their flocks that starry night
When came an angel of the Lord
In glory shining bright
Behold I bring good news to you
To you is born this day
A Saviour who is Christ the Lord
You’ll find him in the hay
Then from the east three wise men came
And guided by a star
They found the place where lay the King
A manger made of straw
Gold frankincense and myrrh we bring
To you and with great joy
They knelt and then they worshipped him
This precious little boy
And so again this year we come
As wise men did of old
Our gifts to share this Christmas time
And yet inside we know
This earth still needs your caring hand
To hear your words again
The message never changes still
It’s peace goodwill to all men
It's So Hot Today
Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon
Lyrics
It’s so hot today
Forty one in the shade
Pour me some lemonade
How ‘bout a trip to the pool
Then I can get myself cool
It’s so hot today
Sweat in the back of the car
At least the pool’s not very far
Grizzling along in the heat
Stuck in the back of the seat
It’s so hot today
Pretty soon I’m gonna roast
I think I can see it - almost
Out of the car with a dash
Head for the pool and then splash
Ahhhh – just right!
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
Sometimes I Feel
Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon
Lyrics
Sometimes I feel so happy
Other times rather sad
And sometimes I get very worried
Then suddenly I feel glad
I can be ever so friendly
Then suddenly a little bit shy
And I can get pretty angry
It’s enough to make you cry
But then again I can be sweet
Like sugar in coconut ice
But when I’m bad I’m horrid
And people say, ‘Please be nice’
The Three Little Pigs
Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon
Lyrics
The first little pig built his house
He built it out of straw
He started on a Monday, finished on a Wednesday
And then he shut the door
He thought it was strong but before very long
Came a rather peckish wolf
CHORUS 1
Little pig, little pig
Little pig won’t you let me come in?
No no, no no
Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin
So he huffed and he puffed and he huffed and he puffed
And he blew that pig’s house in
The second little pig built his house
He built it out of sticks
He started on a Tuesday, finished on a Thursday
Around about half past six
He thought it was strong but before very long
Came a rather peckish wolf
CHORUS 1
The third little pig built his house
He built it out of bricks
He started on a Wednesday, finished on a Friday
He’d heard about the old wolf’s tricks
He knew it was strong but before very long
Came the same old peckish wolf
CHORUS 2
Little pig, little pig
Little pig won’t you let me come in?
No no, no no
Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin
So he huffed and he puffed and he huffed and he puffed
And he huffed and he puffed and he huffed and he puffed
And he huffed and he puffed and he huffed and he puffed
And he huffed and he puffed and he huffed and he puffed
But he couldn’t blow that brick house in
ENDING
But the wolf wasn’t finished yet
He was still determined to get
That last little pig for tea
So he climbed to the top of a tree
Then onto the roof, down the chimney
Right into a pot of boiling hot water
And so the pig – had the wolf for tea instead!
Little Doggy

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
Exterminate

Lyrics
CHORUS
Exterminate Exterminate Exterminate Exterminate
Exterminate all blowflies, exterminate all blowflies
Hit ‘em with the flyspray
Pretty soon they go away
Every summer they come around
Making with the zz zz zz sounds
Messing up your barbecue, hanging round your swimming pool
20,000 million of them zzzing around
CHORUS
When you’re eating pasties or pies
Nothing could be worse than blowflies
Zooming in from north and south, hovering around your mouth
Looking for a place to sit right upon your nose
And when you go to bed it’s hard to get some rest
‘Cos in a little while there comes a little pest
Zzzing here and zzzing there and zzzing here and zzzing there and
Zzzz – thwack
CHORUS
Exterminate exterminate exterminate exterminate zzz – thwack
Exterminate exterminate exterminate exterminate Zzzz – thwack
Exterminate exterminate exterminate exterminate Zzzzzzzzz- thwack
Exterminate…
Thingth I Thay
Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon
Lyrics
I was playing on my swing
When I felt it with my tongue
It was a very wobbly tooth
And it was hanging from my gum
It dropped onto the ground and rolled into a creek
And now it’s rather strange but every time I try and speak
CHORUS
Thingth I thay don’t thound the thame
It’th even hard to thay my name
I’d like to thing to thing a thong
But every time it’s thoundth all wrong
Thingth I thay don’t thound the thame
I have a little brother Keith
Who seems to still have all his teeth
There must be something wrong with me
So many teeth seem so wobbly
Another one dropped out just the other day
It’s very embarrassing but really what can I say?
CHORUS
Words that start with ‘s’ are tricky
Words like thschool and thstop and thsticky
Mum thinks it’s cute but I don’t agree
Well maybe for her but not for me
People think it’s funny to hear me talking like this
I’d like my two front teeth back, they’re the ones I really miss
CHORUS
Tom

Lyrics
My name is Jack and I’ve got a friend
He wears short pants and he’s nearly ten
CHORUS
Tom Tom Tom Tom
Tom Tom Tom Tom
Tom took a peach from the farmer’s tree
The farmer saw him, thought it was me
CHORUS
The farmer came and gave me a whack
I said, ‘It was Tom’ he thought it was Jack
CHORUS
‘He’s the one that you ought to chase
He must be somewhere round this place’
CHORUS
The farmer caught him down in the shed
His face went blue, his face went red
CHORUS
Tom was so sorry, sorry as can be
For taking a peach from the farmer’s tree
He promised to be good, he promised to be nice
But I said to the farmer, take my advice
CHORUS
Would soon be up to his tricks again
Mary

Lyrics
Mary went over the bridge
To see what she could see
Mary went over the bridge
Around the tree
To see what she could see
Mary went over the bridge
Around the tree
Through the tunnel
To see what she could see
Mary went over the bridge
Around the tree
Through the tunnel
Up the hill
To see what she could see
Mary went over the bridge
Around the tree
Through the tunnel
Up the hill
Down the lane
To see what she could see
Mary went over the bridge
Around the tree
Through the tunnel
Up the hill
Down the lane
Behind the house
To see what she could see
Mary went over the bridge
Around the tree
Through the tunnel
Up the hill
Down the lane
Behind the house
Over the wall
To see what she could see
And when she got there
All she could see was a
Pussy cat playing the flute
Nutrition Blues
Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon
Lyrics
CHORUS
Just give me peanut paste with the crunchy taste
And some honey spread on my bread
Or maybe jellybeans with some pink icecream
And some chocolate crackles instead
And while I’m doing this I don’t wanna miss
All my favourite shows on TV
I’m gonna pull up a seat, stick up my feet
Help myself to a treat
Monday night - spinach pie
Baked potatoes, sour cream
Stuffed tomatoes, brussel sprouts
I don’t wish to sound too mean
(He don’t wanna sound mean)
CHORUS
Tuesday night – pumpkin soup
Wednesday night – cabbage rolls
Thursday night – mushroom quiche
And Friday night, it’s casserole
(Friday night it’s casserole)
CHORUS
Listen please I need a break
‘Cos I don’t know if I can take
Any more healthy food
I think I’ve got nutrition blues
(I think he’s got nutrition blues)
CHORUS
Phone Calls Daddy
Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon
Lyrics
CHORUS
Sits by the phone making lots of phone calls
Sits by the phone making lots of phone calls
Sits by the phone making lots of phone calls Daddy
When I come home after school
He’s always on the phone
At least that means my Daddy cool
Will never be alone – he
CHORUS
He loves to hear that telephone ring
You never know who it might be
It could be a big shot from overseas
But then again it could be me – he
CHORUS
He just can’t resist makin’ a call
He can’t leave the thing alone
As soon as he walks in through the door
He picks up the telephone – he
CHORUS
One day Dad got an answering machine
Which takes all the calls instead
So when he’s out doing a show
Or maybe just lying in bed – it
Sits by the phone taking lots of phone calls
Sits by the phone taking lots of phone calls
Sits by the phone taking lots of phone calls Daddy
In The Summertime

Lyrics
In the summertime I like to go to the beach
Go to the beach, go to the beach
In the summertime I like to go to the beach
And swim in the blue blue sea
In the Autumn time I like to look at the trees
Look at the trees, look at the trees
In the Autumn time I like to look at the trees
And watch as the leaves fall down
In the winter time I like to snuggle up tight
Snuggle up tight, snuggle up tight
In the winter time I like to snuggle up tight
Snuggle up tight in bed
And in the Springtime I like to sit in the sun
Sit in the sun, sit in the sun
And in the Springtime I like to sit in the sun
And get myself nice and warm
All the year round I like to sing a song
Sing a song, sing a song
All the year round I like to sing a song
Sing a nice happy song
Doo doo doo…
Down In The Bathroom
Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon
Lyrics
Down in the bathroom he looks so sad
His friends say, ‘Aw come on cheer up, it’s not that bad’
You’ve had a good life you’ve had your day
But now it’s time to be thrown away
How could they do this, do this to him?
You don’t put your friends in the rubbish bin
He has his feelings, he has his pride
It’s enough to make you break down and cry
CHORUS
He’s a really nice toothbrush (echo)
Luverly toothbrush (echo)
Hard working tooth brush (echo)
Friendly old toothbrush (echo)
So how can you possibly throw him away?
I know he looks shaggy, I know he looks tired
But he can still do the job, he doesn’t need to be fired
He’ll brush off your plaque at the end of a day
So please don’t throw, don’t throw him away
CHORUS
His bristles may be worn, his head may be scarred
But you won’t find another who will work quite so hard
So throw away your toothpaste, try another brand
But don’t discard a friend, he just won’t understand
CHORUS (repeated)
I Just Love Bananas

Lyrics
I just love bananas bananas bananas
I just love bananas every day
But don’t leave the skin hanging around
Or pretty soon you’ll be lying on the ground
I just love bananas every day
I just love an apple an apple an apple
I just love an apple every day
Crispy and red, crunchy and green
And only yesterday I had 17 – or was it 23?
I just love an apple every day
I just love an orange an orange an orange
I just love an orange every day
Lots of yummy juice luverly taste
But leaves you with a pretty icky sticky face
I just love an orange every day
Ba na na na na na na, banana banana
Ba na na na na na na every day
Ba na na na na na, ba na na na na na
Ba na na na na na, ba na na na na na
Ba na na na na na na every day
