Apricot Chicken

Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon

Lyrics

Dinner time is comin' clock's a-tickin'
I think I'd like to have some apricot chicken
The best bit of advice, is serve it up with rice
Try that tonight, and see if I am right
Dinner time is comin' clock’s a-tickin'
I think I'd like to have some apricot chicken

I play my ukulele strumming and a pickin'
But when it comes to dinner, it's apricot chicken
I like it not too hot, always have a lot
Together with some rice, it's really very nice
I play my ukulele strumming and a pickin'
But when it comes to dinner, it's apricot chicken

Everybody does it, they do the finger lickin'
When they've eaten lots of apricot chicken
It's the best thing, it makes you want to sing
This silly little song so why not sing along
Everybody does it, they do the finger lickin'
When they've eaten lots of apricot chicken

Clock's a-tickin', apricot chicken
Finger lickin’, apricot chicken

Things To Do On The Weekend

Lyrics

Invite a gorilla around for a snack
Run with an ostrich perched on your back
Sing with a chicken sitting on your head
Sleep with a kangaroo beside you in bed
Lift up your father, hang him from the ceiling
Then ask him sweetly, "How are you feeling?"
Take your pet rock on a trip to the zoo
Then think up some more things while sitting on the loo!

Just A Little Boy

Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon

Lyrics

Just a little boy born on a cold and wintry day
His sisters gather round his head
Caught up in the wonder of having a little brother
Who we thought would be a girl instead

Just a little boy has come into the world
The apple of his mother's eye
And like the flowers on a hillside
The crimson of a sunset
Is the miracle of a baby child

Just a little boy, just a little boy
With skinny legs and eyes so blue
Before our very eyes, a gift, the perfect prize
We had a son that tiny child was you

Doo doo doo doo...
And like the flowers on a hillside
The crimson of a sunset
Is the miracle of a baby child

The Little Red Hen

Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon

Lyrics

The little red hen thought that she would
Plant the wheat and it would be good
To ask her friends to help

CHORUS
‘Not I’ said the dog
‘Not I’ said the cat
‘Not I’ said the duck
‘Not I’ said the pig
Then I’ll just have to do it myself

Soon the wheat had grown up tall
The time had come to cut it all
She asked her friends to help

CHORUS

The wheat had to be ground in to flour
She knew it would take, many an hour
She asked her friends to help

CHORUS

The next thing to do was bake the bread
Maybe her friends would like to be fed
She asked them all to help

CHORUS

Soon the bread was ready to eat
Her friends all thought we’ll have a little treat
But the little hen shook her head
You did not help me plant the wheat or grind it into flour
So I think that I instead will eat up all this bread
That’s how the story goes, the answer was 4 ‘Nos’

No bread for the dog
No bread for the cat
No bread for the duck
No bread for the pig
And she said ‘I’ll eat it myself’
And she did!

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

Lyrics

My friend Mr Pim got stuck in some glue
O dear, O dear, what could he do?
He took off his shirt, he took off his shoe
Then all of a sudden he sneezed - Ahh choo!
My friend Mr Pim is out of the glue
He's feeling fine and happier too.
A little sticky perhaps, that's true
But apart from that, as good as new!

Wishes

Lyrics

When I feel the sun on my face
Or there's a rainbow shimmering bright
When moonbeams dance in my hands
And stars twinkle at night

CHORUS
My wishes will surely come true
And I will send my wishes to you 
My wishes will surely come true
And I will send my wishes to you 

When the waves break on the shore
And seagulls glide in the breeze
When children play on the sand
And starfish swim in the sea

CHORUS

Where there's fear may there be hope
And dark may there be light
Where there's war may there be peace
And wrong turned into right

CHORUS (repeated) 
My wishes will surely come true

What?

Lyrics

What colour socks are you wearing today?
It's very very cold and the sky is gray
I can see some red, I can see some blue
I can see some green and yellow ones too
What colour socks are you wearing today?
On this chilly chilly morn in the middle of May

What are the shapes you’ve been learning about?
Take your finger and point them out
This one’s a diamond, this one’s a square
Can you see a circle and a triangle there
What are the shapes you’ve been learning about?
If you take your finger you can point them out

What are the letters of the alphabet?
There’s A to Z, twenty six in the set
A B C D E, F G H I J
K L M N O, P Q R S T
U V W X Y and Z
These are the letters of the alphabet

Hold up your fingers and count up to 10
Once then twice then do it again
1 2 3 4 5 6, 7 8 9 10 it's the 
Same with your toes you can count them and then
Hold up your fingers and count up to 10
Once, twice then do it again

Uh Oh

Lyrics

There was a glass of milk sitting in the fridge
And she thought that she could reach it if she stretched up high
On tippy tippy toe and did you know
She did, she did, she did...she got it

Crash...Uh Oh
She dropped it on the floor, need I tell you more
Take a little guess YES there was a big mess
Very soon her Mum saw what she had done
She looked her in the eye and gave a big sigh
'Uh Oh'

If you're only very small, not very tall
The golden rule is a glass that's full
Is easy to spill and you definitely will
If you reach too high, so just don't try
And there’ll be no how or why or
Uh Oh, Uh Oh, Uh Oh!

Lyrics

CHORUS
Sun Comes Up, Sun Goes Down
Every day all the year around
Planet Earth, human race
Living in a perfectly beautiful place

And whether it’s a dolphin playing in the sea
Or tiny little sparrow in tall gum tree
There’s beauty all around us, abundant, fragile
Precious gifts to look after

Earth is getting warmer, oceans rising higher
Storms are growing stronger, floods and fire
We know about the dangers, know there must be changes
The future is in our hands

All Of The Dinosaurs

Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon

Lyrics

CHORUS

All of the dinosaurs, this much we know
Lived on the earth, millions of years ago

Tyrannosaurus Rex was the big one, the tyrant lizard
He walked on 2 legs, with a long heavy tail
13 metres long and with big sharp teeth – scary

CHORUS

Triceratops looked like a rhinoceros, with three sharp horns
And quills like a porcupine, and a backward pointing frill
You would not wish to meet when he's looking for something to eat - no way!

CHORUS

The stegosaurus ate rocks and no wonder, with a brain the size of a walnut
Plates on its back and spikes on its tail
9 metres long with 4 short legs and a very very tiny brain

CHORUS

The brontosaurus looked like a huge dragon and lived in swamps
The brachiosaurus had legs like an elephant, and a neck like a giraffe
The spinosaurus had teeth like a crocodile and could walk and swim...but

It’s hard to imagine such creatures here today
It’s such a very long time ago, but at least we can all say

I think that already we have quite a lot

From the time that you get up, to the time you go to bed
But which are the ones you prefer to use?
When you get the chance to pick and choose ...because I like

We like to...

CHORUS
Have a little chat
And talk about the cat
Sitting on the mat
Fancy that
I don’t remember when
You became my friend
I know I know I know
It was a long time ago

We spend our time together, your house and mine
And when the sun goes down we like to

CHORUS

We play our guitars and we do it every day
Strum along, sing a song, then it’s time to

Maybe we were just lucky, but we just knew
That we’d be best friends, and we still love to

Mercury is very very old
The days are hot, the nights are cold
Neptune is the one furthest from the sun
No one’s ever been there and they never ever will

Venus is the one that shines so bright
And you can see her in the day or the night
Mars is closer by, the red one in the sky
Jupiter's the oldest, and the biggest of them all

CHORUS

Galileo Galilee
The planet we call Saturn, he did see
With her rings of green and blue, a touch of yellow too
And then there is Uranus made of ice and coloured blue

But Planet Earth is the only one with life
It's fragile and the perfect place to be
The flowers and the trees, the birds, the fish, the bees and
A moon that shines so brightly on the people down below but

Jump in the luverly cool clear water - and

And sits at the piano and plays some quavers - then
