A Brussel Sprout

Lyrics

There is no doubt that a brussel sprout
Has no muscle but plenty of brussel
And lots of vitamin C, very good for me
But it's just so sad they taste really bad
So when served with turkey I'm amazed when people say
It's the perfect dish on Christmas Day

The Enormous Turnip

Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon

Lyrics

A turnip did grow and grow and grow
Until it was enormous
An old man tried to pull it up
He pulled and pulled and pulled and pulled
But couldn’t pull up the turnip

INSTRUMENTAL

The old man asked his wife to help
To help pull up the turnip
The wife pulled the man
The old man tried to pull it up
They pulled and pulled and pulled and pulled
But couldn’t pull up the turnip

INSTRUMENTAL

The old man’s wife then asked a boy
To help pull up the turnip
The boy pulled the wife
The wife pulled the man
The old man tried to pull it up
They pulled and pulled and pulled and pulled
But couldn’t pull up the turnip

INSTRUMENTAL

The boy then asked a girl to help
To help pull up the turnip
The girl pulled the boy
The boy pulled the wife
The wife pulled the man
The old man tried to pull it up
They pulled and pulled and pulled and pulled
But couldn’t pull up the turnip

The girl then called out to a dog
The dog called a cat
The cat called a mouse
To help pull up the turnip
The mouse pulled the cat
The cat pulled the dog
The dog pulled the girl
The girl pulled the boy
The boy pulled the wife
The wife pulled the man

The old man tried to pull it up
They pulled and pulled and pulled and pulled
And pulled and pulled and pulled and pulled
And pulled and pulled and pulled and pulled…

SPOKEN
And finally after one last HUGE pull….
Up came a gigantic, an absolutely enormous turnip!!!

The Hare And Tortoise

Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon

Lyrics

I can run, look at me
I can jump, can you see?
I can hop, look at me
No one else is faster than me
No, no one else is faster than he

Well even though I may be slow
I always get where I need to go
Curl up tight inside my shell
Happy and warm, in the place I dwell

But I can run, look at me
I can jump, can you see?
I can hop, look at me
No one else is faster than me
No, no one else is faster than he

Well let me ask you, face to face
How would you like to have a race?
If I came first and you came last
Even though you’re very fast

But he can run, look at me
He can jump, can you see?
He can hop, look at me
No one else is faster than me

He can run, look at him
He can jump, he will win
He can hop, look at him
He’s fit and strong, and healthy and trim
And no one else is faster than him

Well you’ve heard the story
There was no glory
Hare ran the first mile then
He rested a while but

Too long did he take
It was a very big mistake because
Although he was fast
He finished last

Said Tortoise ‘It’s me, who’s usually behind
More often than not, at the end of the line
But sometimes it’s true, sometime’s the case
That slow and steady wins the race’

Child of Mine (Alice's Song)

Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon

Lyrics

No need to search for words to say
No need to even question how
For me it’s just enough to know you’re with me
Here and now.

Winter rain falls from the sky
The leaves have all been blown away
Yet promises of springtime sparkle in your eyes
And all you say

CHORUS
Child of mine you taught me
Happiness you brought me
Child of mine and of the world
Perfect love you’re giving
Simple truth for living
Child of mine and of the world.

Child of mine and of the world
You brings your gifts of love to bear
The gift of love the gift of love you seek to share
Seek to share.

No need to search for words to say
No need to even question how
I can see the springtime sparkle in your eyes
And all you say – all you say.

Elizabeth

Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon

Lyrics

She was not looking well, lolling listlessly round the aquarium
I said to myself – don’t panic.
Fish are like that, they have bad days just like all of us
Still I couldn’t concentrate on my work
Just thinking about – Elizabeth

Was she in pain, had her fish friend left her
Swum off to some far flung corner of – the aquarium

My heart went out to her, I longed to pluck her from the water
And offer my heartfelt sympathy but a voice within me said
That was not a desirable course of action with – regard to fish

So I took her to the vet, he prescribed a course of antibiotics
Elizabeth did not seem impressed
The vet looked at me with an expression which seemed to say
This is an – extremely foolish song.

I took the hint – and stopped.

Changes (Joni's Song)

Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon

Lyrics

All around on tree and flower new life is appearing
In the field the winter rain has clothed the earth with grass
And with the dawn of every day a new sun comes arising
With the change of season comes the hope of better days

CHORUS
Ah la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la

With the coming of the spring, all men can be born again
Free to love and start anew and free to understand
That when mankind can live as one this universe will matter
Love is all we have to give and this will surely be.

CHORUS

Look in to a child’s eyes and see the hope therein there lies
You see it in her innocence, her happy laughing face
Her simple faith in all around, yet loving me for what I am
Herein lies her secret, if only we could see.

Nice and Cool

Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon

Lyrics

If on a summers day when it’s too hot to play
And it’s 42 I know just what to do

CHORUS
I rush home from school jump in the pool
Splash – Ahh! It’s nice and cool.

Well the sun may be high and the grass may be dry
But when it’s half past three I know where I want to be
So I dash to the gate

CHORUS

There may be Maths to do, there may be History too
But when the day is done it’s time to have some fun
So I pick up my bag, dash to the gate

CHORUS

And something else I’ve learnt, don’t get too sunburnt
Slap some cream on your skin and you’ll be wearing a grin
And at the end of the day, I pick up my bag, dash to the gate

CHORUS – ahh!

Come Together (Stand Up Tall)

Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon

Lyrics

CHORUS
Stand together, stand up tall
We are different and yet the same
We’re curly haired ones, black and white ones
Red and yellow ones, young and old ones – so
Come together, stand up tall
We are different and yet the same.

Two hundred years – not so long ago when
Black men walked the land
Across the desert sand
White men came and stayed
Black men they have paid.

CHORUS

Weep for the mothers, cry for the children
A stolen generation are they
Come sister and brother look after each other
We can give what we are and gain

Here we all are – different as can be
And if you a stranger be
From far across the sea
Welcome to this land
Reach out and take my hand

CHORUS

This Face

Lyrics

There’s this face
A thinking face, a learning face
A curious face, philosophical face
This face!

There’s this face
A happy face, a smiling face
Delighted face, contented face
This face!

There’s this face
A frowning face, a scowling face
A stern face, a wrinkled face
This face!

There’s this face
A bright-eyed face, a shining face
A frog-eyed face, a goggle-eyed face
This face!

There’s this face
A cautious face, a sly face
A doubting face, a timid face
This face!

There’s this face
A comical face, a peculiar face
Preposterous face, a funny face
This face!

Tom Can Play The Trumpet

Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon

Lyrics

Tom can play the trumpet very well
Pianissimo or loud with a capital L
How he loves to practise every day
Listen, listen, listen to him play
This way, that way.

Ben likes to take his French horn to the town
He likes to play in his slippers and dressing gown
And how he loves to practise every day
Listen, listen, listen to him play
This way, that way.

Kate likes to play the tuba sitting on the fence
She’s not blessed with a great deal of common sense
But how she loves to practise every day
Listen, listen, listen to her play
This way, that way.

Clare takes the bus but sometimes she takes the train
She plays the trombone drives the passengers insane
And how she loves to practise every day
Listen, listen, listen to her play
This way, that way.

If 6 flies landed on your jelly…..
Then how would you feel – Err Yuck!
If 5 mosquitoes swam around your soup….
Then how would you feel – Err Yuck!
If 4 frogs hopped into your bed…
Then how would you feel – Err Yuck!
If 3 snails slithered on to your sandwiches …..
Then how would you feel – Err Yuck!
If 2 toffee apples got tangled in your hair …..
Then how would you feel – Err Yuck! – and
If one elephant sat upon your head ….
Then how would you feel – Squashed!
