Lyrics
CHORUS
Thelma Brown lived in a zoo
There were cows in her kitchen and roosters on view
Dogs in her dining room, cats in there too
And a husband called Cedric and a big kangaroo.
Ev’ry morn at six o’clock sharp
Thelma Brown arose in the dark
Cats and dogs, roosters and crows, kangaroos to attend
And a husband called Cedric who was going round the bend
CHORUS
Every night at half after nine
Cedric would say, “Oh dear its about my bedtime”
And every morn he’d awake with a snore
With the kangaroo in bed, and him on the floor!
CHORUS
One day Thelma brought home a giraffe
Cedric well he just broke down and laughed.
“Thelma dear, there’s no room in our zoo”
“But Cedric” she said, “how ‘bout the loo?”
CHORUS
What can you say, what can you do
When you live with a wife, who lives in a zoo?
Well you can’t make a fuss, you can’t even complain
Cos if you do you just end up out in the rain.
Thelma Brown lived in a zoo
There were cows in her kitchen and roosters on view
Dogs in her dining room, cats in there too
And a husband called Cedric who’s about to shoot through!
Shake Yourself

Lyrics
Stand up be tall, squat down be small
Stretch out be broad, be thin as a sword
Then shake yourself like a duck just out of water,
Shake, shake, shake.
Lift up your head, fall down you’re dead
Wriggle like snakes, be still as a lake,
Then shake yourself like a duck just out of water
Shake, shake, shake.
Touch all your toes, wriggle your nose
Jump off the floor, count up to floor – 1,2,3,4
Then shake yourself like a duck just out of water
Shake, shake, shake…
New Playgym

Lyrics
It was Friday afternoon
And the clock said half past three
I heard the school bell ring
I knew where I wanted to be
I ran all the way didn’t stop
Just couldn’t wait to get in
Gonna spend my weekend home
Playing on my new playgym.
CHORUS
Slippery dip, slippery di
Monkey bar hanging facing the sky
Swinging down low, swinging up high
On my new playgym happy am I.
My Dad likes to play on it too
He’s really just a big boy
He loves it just like me
So we share our big green toy.
CHORUS
I love to swing on the rings
And hear the squeak of the swing
It makes my tummy tickle inside
Playing on my new playgym.
CHORUS

I can run as fast as you (x3)
Running on the spot
Puff, puff, puff, puff ……..
I can jump as high as you (x3)
Jumping on the spot.

Stamping on the spot.
Stamp, stamp, stamp, stamp…
I’m as tired as tired as you (x3)
Think I’ll take a rest.
The Put It Song

Lyrics
Take your hand and put it on your nose.
Take your nose and put it on your knee then put it on your finger.
Take your finger and put it on your head, then put it on your back, then put it on your foot.
Take your foot and put it on your shin, then put it on your ankle, then put it on your heel, then put it on your thumb.
Take your thumb and put it on your lips, then put it on your ears, then put it on your elbow, then put it on your tummy, then put it on your toes.
Take your toes and put them on your HEAD!

Night falls and moon glows
The stars shine, no wind blows

Tiny hands hold the secret
Wonders to behold
The miracle of life surrounds us

Jack and Jill dropped in
Only just the other day
They stayed a while then said
They had best be on their way.
We really ought to go – o
No, no. no, no, no – o – so

Rumpelstiltskin

Lyrics
CHORUS
Hocus pocus dance and sing
First a necklace then a ring
Riddles and magic are my game
Rumpelstiltskin is my name.
Thomas or Kevin or Michael
Percy or Jack or Henry
William or Phillip or Nicholas?
No, no the little man said
You’ll have to do better than that.
And he crept away to his house in the wood
Where he danced around a fire singing -
CHORUS
Bandylegs, Jellybottom, Crookshanks
Ferdinand, Engelbert, Bembo
Knobblyknees, Fly-By-Night, Scragbeard?
No, no the little man said
You’ll have to do better than that.
And he crept away to his house in the wood
Where he danced around a fire singing –
CHORUS
Crankinghorn, Scallywag, Shortstuff
Balthazar, Melchior, Caspar?
Perhaps your name is Rumpelstiltskin!
Who told you that, who told you that?

I Just Love Peanut Butter

Lyrics
CHORUS
I just love, I just love
I just love peanut butter
I just love, I just love
I just love peanut butter
I can still remember when
I used to eat it every day
Breakfast, lunch and then again
At dinner time and still I’d say –
CHORUS
Crunchy, smooth – I don’t care
I can’t resist the peanut taste
And when the jar is nearly bare
I scrape it clean, don’t want to waste.
CHORUS
Honey, jam or vegemite
No, no, no they don’t entice
But peanut butter come late at night
On a piece of toast is rather nice, yes –
CHORUS
Hey John

Lyrics
John climbed up the apple tree
The apple tree, the apple tree
John climbed up the apple tree
And picked a ripe red apple.
CHORUS
Hey John what will you do John
Hey John what will you do
Hey John what will you do John
Hey John what will you do?
I will bake an apple pie
An apple pie, an apple pie
I will bake an apple pie
Bake it for my sister.
CHORUS
She’s in bed and not very well
Not very well, not very well
She’s in bed and not very well
And this will make her better.
CHORUS
If tomorrow she’s still in bed
Still in bed, still in bed
If tomorrow she’s still in bed
I will call the doctor.
But how will you know that she is well
She is well, she is well
How will you know that she is well?
I will see her smiling.
Hey John then you will know John
Hey John then you will know
Hey John then you will know John
Hey John then you will know.
Only One Nose

Lyrics
CHORUS
You’ve got two hands, two eyes, two ears
But only one nose
Two hips, two eyes, two feet
But only one nose.
Stretch high, stretch low
Look to the left now off you go
It’s two steps forward and two steps backward
And four steps round in a ring.
CHORUS
Shake hands, scratch chin
Big breath out, big breath in
Walk down the street with a happy beat
And sing this song as you go.
CHORUS
Wash face, comb hair
Clean your teeth, hug your bear
Roll your eyes around and around and
Stamp your feet on the ground.
CHORUS

CHORUS
Just give me honey, sticky and yummy
Just give me honey today
It’s just so runny, good for the tummy
Just give me honey today – okay
Just give me honey today.
I like to eat it lying in bed
I like to eat it stand on my head
I like to eat it one slice then two
It’s just the best thing, my favourite thing to do – so

Carrots and broccoli, pumpkin and peas
Ham and tomato, lettuce and cheese
I know they help to work and to play
But when I’ve eaten them then you’ll hear me say – oh

Maddy has marmalade once every day
But if you ask me you know what I’ll say – please

Take your feet, take your feet
Piccolo Pete, take your feet – and walk
Take your legs, take your legs
Scrambled eggs, take your legs – and run
Take your tummy, take your tummy
It’s so funny, take your tummy – and tickle.
Take your lips, take your lips
Chicken and chips, take your lips – and kiss.
Take your voice, take your voice
Let’s rejoice, take your voice – and sing.
Take your mouth and nose, take your mouth and nose
Not your knees and toes, but your mouth and nose – and achoo!
Take your hands, take your hands
Frying pans, take your hands – and clap.

CHORUS
I like to run – Monday
I like to run – Tuesday
I like to run – Wednesday
I like to run - Friday

I like to run – Sunday

Down the road, here I go
Up the hill. nice and slow
Across the field where flowers grow
I can run like a superhero.
CHORUS
Its’s early morn, the sky is blue
I think I know what I will do
I’ll step outside in the morning dew
And try out my new running shoes.
So I set off to run down to the sea
Puffing and panting tired as can be
Sprinted out to the end of the jetty
Guess who was there – Steve Monaghetti!
CHORUS
There Was A Crooked Man
Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon
Lyrics
There was a crooked man and he walked a crooked mile
He found a crooked sixpence upon a crooked stile
He bought a crooked cat who caught a crooked mouse
And they all lived together in a crooked little house.
That crooked little house had a crooked little clock
With a crooked tick and a crooked little tock
And in a crooked little room in a crooked little bed
Was a crooked little dog – don’t wake up the sleepyhead.
Little Groover
Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon
Lyrics
Here’s a dance I know you can do
Know you can do, know you can do – and
It would be just perfect for you
Perfect for you and here’s how you do it.
CHORUS
Swing your hips (little sister)
Tap your toes (little brother)
Bend your knees then rock and roll
Twist and shout (little groover)
Turn about (what a mover)
High and low then rock and roll.
It’s so easy this is the chance
This is the chance to get up and dance
The band is here and waiting to play
Waiting to play so all I can say is –
CHORUS
Now that you are up on the floor
Up on the floor, now that you’re grooving
It’s the best place that you can be
That you can be so don’t you stop moving.
