Emily's Song

Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon

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.

Walk Down The Street

Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon

Lyrics

Chorus
Walk down the street – hey man cool
Do the Donald Duck in the pool
Everybody holds the fingers on the nose
Then they slap, clap, snap, sneeze – ah choo!

Here’s a little game, it doesn’t have a name
Would you like to play?
Jump on a cow, follow me now
And right away
Down to the shed. Stand on your head
Then I suggest you beat your chest
The look at me and do the things I do.

Chorus

Have a cup of tea sitting in a tree
Very nice
And if you want to sing God save the King
Jolly good, super
Jump to the floor, swing on the door
Then I suggest you beat your chest
The look at me and do the things I do.

Chorus

Jump on your broom fly to Saskatoon
You really should
You can be a groover, fly to Vancouver
Lovely place.
And when you touch down, back on the ground
Then I suggest you beat your chest
The look at me and do the things I do.

Supermarket

Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon

Lyrics

I rode on my bike to the baker shop
Bought some buns bought some bread bought some rolls bought some cake
I took ‘em back home at the speed of sound
My mother said to me you could’ve bought that -

Chorus
At the supermarket, supermarket
Anything you want you can buy what you like at the supermarket.

The next day I went to the fruit and veg shop
Bought some apples and some pears and bananas in pyjamas
My mother said to me when I got back home
Now listen don’t you know you could’ve bought all that –

Chorus

My Daddy walked in with his arms full of stuff
He had cheese and milk and butter and yoghurt
Marmalade vegemite cocopops coon cheese
Naturally of course he had bought all this –

Chorus

If you wanna go somewhere that’s different you know
Where you don’t get a trolley and you walk down the row
You could go but a car or a bus or a truck
‘Cos you won’t find them I can tell you right now –

Chorus

And you won’t find a flute bassoon or tympani
Violin double bass playing in the symphony
You’ll never find that if you spend every hour
Of the day and the night and you can’t take a shower –

There’s a Kid

Lyrics

There’s a kid who’s lying in bed
Stuck at home with a cold in the head
She’s feeling bad runny nose
Aching and a-shaking from her head to her toes
There’s a kid who’s lying in bed
Stuck at home with a cold in the head.

Now the kid who’s looking so crook
Is stuck home in bed with her head in a book
She’s looking hot face all red
“You better stay in bed” her mother said
Now the kid who’s looking so crook
Is stuck home in bed with her head in a book.

Chorus
She don’t wanna stay in bed no
Just because her mother says so
Even though her head is aching
Body trembling body shaking.

There’s a Dad and his name is Ross
The kid in the bed is making him cross
You do what your mother says
You’re too young to know what is best.
There’s a Dad and his name is Ross
The kid in the bed is making him cross.

Chorus

Kid kid there’s a kid there’s a

Oscar and Mr Hairy Gorilla

Lyrics

Oscar was a rhinoceros who loved to have tea
With Mr Hairy Gorilla down at the local zoo
They gobbled down bananas and lots of strawberry icecream
And polly waffles and caramel cake
And chips and buns and creamy puffs
And chocolate crackles and coconut roughs
And jelly beans and apple pies
And twenty one pieces of pizza
And finished off with a milkshake
And then they felt sick!!

Big Yellow Ball

Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon

Lyrics

Chorus
Big yellow ball, that’s what you are
One million kilometers wide
A hundred million kilometers round.
Big yellow ball burning in space
Day turns to night, heat turns to cold.

The earth takes a year just to travel round the sun
And it’s a mighty long way to go
Round and around and around and around
And around the sun we go

Chorus

People in the north of the Earth have the summer
When the people in the south are cold
People in the east of the Earth have their night
When the people in the west have day.

Chorus

Spring turns to summer turns to autumn turns to winter
How I love to watch the seasons change
Showers in the winter then the flowers in the spring
And then the heat on the dusty plain.

Lyrics

CHORUS
Put on your shirt pants collar and tie
Mr Smooth you’re a groovy guy
You’ve got the looks, style and all of that jazz
Mr Smooth Mr Razzamatazz
Mr Smooth Mr Razzamatazz

He’s so smooth with his oily grin
Slick down hair only just been trimmed
Off to work, brand new case
Not a hair out of place

CHORUS

1.15 it must be time to eat
The King of Groove is grooving down the street
Business lunch, glass of wine
Fancy food, every time.

CHORUS

O how I’d love to be like him
The slick down hair and the oily grin
But my shirts are too loose, my pants are too tight
And my collar and tie they just don’t look right
But look at him!

Little Red Riding Hood

Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon

Lyrics

Take this custard. Take this butter
Take it to your dear grandmother.

Chorus
Little Red Riding Hood went walking in the wood
Little Red Riding Hood went walking in the wood

Take good care now her mother did say-o
And don’t you wander don’t lose your way-o.

Chorus

As she was strolling from tree to tree-o
A big bad wolf she perchance did see-o

Chorus

That wolf he rose up from the place he was hiding
“Now where are you going my Little Red Riding?”

Chorus

She arrived to find Grandma a-lying in her bed s
She came a little closer and this is what she said –o

“Grandma what big eyes you have.”
“All the better to see you with my dear.”
“Grandma what big ears you have.”
“All the better to hear you with my dear.”
“Grandma what big teeth you have.”
“All the better to eat you with my dear!”

That poor little girl was taken, that sweet Red Riding
And inside the wolf’s fat belly she found her grandma crying.
Then a hunter passing by heard an anguished cry
He slew the wolf in his bed then chopped off his wicked head.
And that is the end of our story. ’Twas lucky the hunter was near-o
To the little girl and her grandma he will always be a hero.

When I’m 13

Lyrics

When I’m thirteen I’m gonna start a band
With drum kit bass and a saxophone
And me as the guitar man
We’ll play at Sullivan’s disco every Saturday night
And maybe rock on Countdown
When the time is right
When I’m thirteen I’m gonna start a band.

When I’m thirteen I’m gonna set the beat
With soul at the disco and bop-a-long in the street
So kick up your heels start dancing
Say goodbye to the day
Get with the rock and rolling
Grooving the night away.
When I’m thirteen I’m gonna set the beat.

Doop der doo next October
Doop der doo I’ll be older
Doop der doo come October I’ll be thirteen
Doop der doo start that rock band
Doop der doo sing on Countdown
Doop der doo I wonder what my Dad will say – “Okay!”

Now I’m thirteen and I’ve got a rock and roll band
And every Friday we get together and jam
There’s Donald on the trumpet, Billy playing the bass
There’s Sally on the saxophone
And me I’m the guitar man.
Now I’m thirteen and I’ve got a rock and roll band
I’ve got a rock and roll band
I’ve got a rock and roll band – doop der doo.

Turn up the heat, turn up the heat.

My peach it won’t squash o dear Mrs Posh
Throw it down, throw it down.

Give it a poke, give it a poke.

My hair it won’t grow o dear Mrs Snow
Buy a new wig, buy a new wig.

My eggs will not scramble o dear Mrs Campbell
Try them fried, tried them fried.

Chorus

My telephone won’t ring o dear Mrs Ding
Then get it mended that would be splendid.

My head it won’t spin o dear Mrs Pin.
Take it off, take it off
“I have” said Mrs Pin, “but now I can’t find it.”
Oh ... well when you find your head this time
Just place a smile upon your dial
No don’t be sad it’s not that bad

O little Koala Koala Koala Ko
Up in the eucalypt eucalypt eucalypt tree
Why do you sleep all day sleep all day
How can this be
Koala wake up time for some tea.

Fresh gum leaves juicy o juicy as juicy can be
Fresh from the eucalypt eucalypt eucalypt tree
O little Koala Koala Koala Ko
Did you know that
The children all love you so

Now then its K and then O and then A and then L
And then it’s A if Koala’s the word you want to spell
You’re not a bear even though everyone thinks it’s so
I think you’re the sweetest thing that I know
And did you know that the children all love you so

One day my dad said why don’t you hire a
Video video video video
Then you can sit and watch a good movie
Video video video video
So off to the shop to see what they’ve got
I ran round the block I checked out the lot
Then hired a video video video video.

Every night then I sat and watched that
Video video video video
And one day I watched it right up till midnight
Video video video video
My teacher said that, my teacher said that
My teacher said that, my teacher said you watch
Too much video video video video.

‘Cos every day at school I fell asleep
Teacher said my friend you’re looking bad
Switch it off switch it off
Go to bed go to bed
Video take it back, back to the shop.

So on a Wednesday I took it back that
Video video video video
I was so good and had early nights no
Video video video video
My teacher told me, my teacher told me
My teacher told me, my teacher said that you
Don’t need video video video video.

Too much TV bad for children’s brains
Too much TV can drive you insane
Ride a bike ride a bike
Climb a tree climb a tree
Exercise exercise that’s what you need.

Yes yes you’re right that’s just what I need – o
Exercise yes that’s just what I need - o
Yes yes you’re right that’s just what I need – o

Just to relax maybe I’ll hire a video.

Lyrics

Jennifer Wicks is lost and alone
So please Mr Policeman take her home.
Where does she live? In a red bricked house so neat.
Where might that be? At Seventy Six Greenhill Street

Mrs Wicks was glad when her little girl came home,
But she said “Jennifer don’t ever wander off alone.
In the middle of July when it’s rainy and cold.
It’s so easy to get lost when you’re only just four years old”.

Jennifer Wicks was lost and alone
But a friendly policeman has taken her home.
Where does she live? In a red bricked house so neat.
Where might that be? At Seventy Six Greenhill Street

Christmas Child

Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon | Sheet Music

Lyrics

On a still night under starlight
On a hillside was the familiar sight
Of the shepherds keeping watch o’er
Sleeping flocks as the moon spread its
Soft glow around.

Close at hand lay in a manger
New born Christ Child just a stranger
Watching over Mother Mary
Father Joseph and kings three with
Gifts in their hands.

But Herod heard the news, there was no time to lose
The baby boy he said, would in a while be dead
He could see the day when men would turn away
The time was near when his kingdom
Could crumble and fall.

CHORUS (X2)
Mother Mary, mother mild
You gave away your Christmas child
A gift of hope on a Holy night
So the blind might see the light.

On that starry night the family took to flight
Herod searched in vain all through the night
But mother Mary, father Joseph
And the Christ Child in silence
Had all slipped away.

And as the shepherds, and the kings made
Their journey home from where the boy had laid
There was a song sung from the mountains
As the shepherds rejoiced in
The news they had heard.

CHORUS (X2)
Mother Mary, mother mild
You gave away your Christmas child
A gift of hope on a Holy night
So the blind might see the light.

CHORUS
Love and joy – comes at Christmas
Baby boy – call him Jesus
Can it be – he can make us
Free again – happy Christmas
Ox and sheep – gather round him
From the East – wise men found him
Love and joy – comes at Christmas
Little boy – call him Jesus.

Out in the fields on a cold December night
The angel appeared in a blaze of great light
The shepherds were afraid but the angel said
To you is born this day in a manger for his bed.

CHORUS

Wise men came, travellers from the east
Brought their gifts and knelt at his feet
Followed the star, to Bethlehem come
Worshipped the child, Mary’s first born son.

CHORUS

Two thousand years is such a long long time ago
But the story’s still the same and deep down we know
That like the stars in the sky and the waves upon the shore
Love doesn’t change – it holds the key to every door.
