I've got a Dinosaur in my Back Yard ©Kath Bee 2008 CHORUS I’ve got a dinosaur in my back yard I’ve got a dinosaur in my back yard I’ve blinked and blinked cos I thought they were extinct But he’s there as plain as day He’s got an large bony frill round his neck He’s got horns times three He doesn’t eat meat leaves and twigs are a treat What’s his name? Triceratops CHORUS He’s got a long stretchy neck So he can reach right up high He’s not a meat eater juicy plants are much sweeter What’s his name? Diplodocus BRIDGE It isn’t my imagination I’m not making it up Look and you will see That he’s looking straight at me Through my bedroom window…. CHORUS He’s the length of two buses Eight children can fit on his tail He’s as heavy as lead Eats from morning ‘til bed What’s his name? Apatosaurus BRIDGE CHORUS He’s got 60 sharp teeth if you please! Gobbles other dinosaurs up with ease The scariest beast! Last but not least What’s his name? Tyrannosaurus Rex! BRIDGE CHORUS to fade…………………..

Nerves ©Kath Bee 2008 Nerves, nerves, nerves, nerves, nerves, nerves, nerves, nerves, Nerves, nerves, nerves, nerves, nerves, nerves, nerves, nerves Woke up this morning, then I got that warning It’s those butterflies, in my tum First day in a new class, that test I have to pass There are butterflies, in my tum I could tell mum that I’m sick My head is aching, my heart rate’s quick I could say I’ve got the ‘flu My skin in sore and my tongue is blue But I guess I’ll just have to Get up and face those Nerves, nerves, nerves, nerves, nerves etc Woke up this morning, then I got that warning It’s those butterflies, in my tum Gotta say my speech today and I don’t think I’ll be OK Cos I’ve got butterflies, in my tum I could tell Dad I’m in pain My legs won’t work, there’s a ‘thing’ in my brain I could make up some disease Where my skin turns green and I start to sneeze (ahh-choo!) Won’t someone help me PLEEEEASE! Get up and face those Nerves, nerves, nerves, nerves, nerves etc BRIDGE Do I just have to endure them? Is there any way to cure them? One answer to it is to just get on and do it! What’s the worse thing that could happen?????? When you face those Nerves, nerves, nerves, nerves, nerves etc Woke up this morning, then I got that warning It’s those butterflies, in my tum Said something I regret, my teacher said she “won’t forget” I’ve got butterflies, in my tum I could say I’m quite unwell My fingers and toes are starting to swell There’s a virus taking hold First I’m hot, then I’m cold! Unfortunately the cure, I’m told Is to get up and face those Nerves, nerves, nerves, nerves, nerves, nerves, nerves…..faster and faster………

Jump Up ©Kath Bee 2008 Jump up and turn around and touch your nose Jump up and turn around and tickle your toes Jump up and turn around and count to three Say “I can be anything I want to be” Jump up and turn around and wiggle your bum Jump up and turn around and raise your thumb Jump up and turn around and count to four Bend right over and touch the floor Jump up and turn around meet someone new Jump up and turn around do anything you want to do Jump up and turn around and count to five Hands on the steering wheel, pretend to drive Jump up and turn around and kiss your knee Jump up and turn around pretend you’re a tree Jump up and turn around and count to 10 Sit on the floor ready to start again!

Changing Clouds ©Kath Bee 2008 Changing clouds Watch them disappear And the in blink of an eye Watch them reappear Pictures I can see But you don’t see the same as me When we look at the clouds CHORUS Lying on our backs, nothing could be better Talk and laugh while gazing up into the blue and white together Changing clouds Float across the sky Encouraged by the wind They pass by Changing clouds Grow before your eyes It’s always a surprise When we look at the clouds CHORUS Changing clouds What starts as a face Turns into cars or horses in a race Changing clouds A very peaceful way For you and I To spend some time today CHORUS

A SILLY SONG ©Kath Bee 2008 I met a boy, and he wore pink pyjamas He ate ripe bananas, he owned two big llamas He liked riding on his llamas eating ripe bananas wearing pink pyjamas That silly boy (that silly boy) I met a girl, who on her feel wore flippers On her hands wore slippers, didn’t like nail clippers So she wore the flippers and the slippers to avoid her nails being cut with clippers That silly girl (that silly girl) CHORUS This is just a silly song, it might be right it might be wrong It doesn’t matter, just for fun. Why don’t you try writing one? A silly, silly song. I knew a dog, he wore a tartan raincoat Sailed a pale blue sailboat, with a friendly male goat He would sail the sailboat with the male goat never taking off his tartan raincoat That silly dog (that silly dog) CHORUS I met a man and he and rubbish on his head Wore black gumboots to bed, and had a friend named Fred He’d spend the day with Fred then wear his black gumboots to bed and still have rubbish Upon his head (upon his head?) CHORUS I know a lady, her clothes are made of lollipops She never walks she hops, and she loves spinning tops She spins her tops and hops and hops while children try to steal and eat her clothes Of lollipops (of lollipops?) CHORUS

It’s Never the Wrong Time to go out ©Kath Bee 2008 It’s never the wrong time to go out Even when there are rain clouds about Put on a coat, gumboots and a hat Feel the rain on your face as the drips go “splat” Jump in a puddle and splash all your friends Poke out your tongue and catch a drop on the end, cos It’s never the wrong time to go out Even when the wind blows about Walk in one direction and get pushed along Can’t walk in the other ‘cos the gusts are so strong Hair in all directions, trees bend and sway Have to yell instead of talk ‘cos no one can hear what you say, cos It’s never the wrong time to go out CHORUS Whether the weather is hot Or whether the weather is cold Or whether the weather is in between Or not what the forecast foretold It can’t be controlled……………..so…………. It’s never the wrong time to go out Even if your mind’s full of doubt The sun’s shining brightly; don’t want to burn your skin So have a look around and find some shade to sit in Head to the river or the sea to get cool And if you live near neither, what about a swimming pool, cos It’s never the wrong time to go out CHORUS It’s never the wrong time to go out x3

BRAND NEW SHOES ©Kath Bee 2009 Walking around in my brand new shoes Isn’t it great that they come in twos? I’m walking around in my brand new shoes Walk, walk, walk, walk, brand new shoes Skipping around in my brand new shoes Look at them shiny, so clean, never used I’m skipping around in my brand new shoes Skip, skip, skip, skip, brand new shoes CHORUS New shoes, whose shoes? My shoes, two shoes Red, yellow, orange, green Or any colour in between New shoes, I choose New shoes, I choose Hopping around in my brand new shoes I want to tell everybody the news I’m hopping around in my brand new shoes Hop, hop, hop, hop, brand new shoes Dancing around in my brand new shoes Makes me so happy, I won’t get the blues I’m dancing around in my brand new shoes Dance, dance, dance, dance brand new shoes CHORUS Running around in my brand new shoes Doesn’t matter if I win or lose I’m running around in my brand new shoes Run, run, run, run brand new shoes CHORUS

Seasons ©Kath Bee 2002 CHORUS Seasons come, seasons go Some bring sun, some bring snow Where they come from, well, I don’t know, but Seasons come and seasons go Winter winds will chill your bones But warm, bright fires fill your homes Autumn trees all stark and bare But the crisp dry leaves spread colour everywhere CHORUS Spring sees new life all around It’s like a song without a sound Summer steals your heart away Blue, clear skies, cool water, timeless days CHORUS

Stuff 02:37

STUFF ©Kath Bee 2008 Sticky stuff like chewing gum and cellotape and glue Icky stuff like slimy slugs and water in your shoe Tricky stuff like saying “sorry”, “thanks” and “I love you” CHORUS Stuff, stuff, lots of stuff. Stuff everywhere. Stuff, stuff, everyday stuff we humans share Scary stuff like spiders or a nightmare in the night Hairy stuff like Aunty Mabel’s legs! What a SIGHT! Teary stuff like when you’ve been told off or had a fight CHORUS Yummy stuff like biscuits, ice cream, apple pie and cakes Tummy stuff like bellybuttons, rumbles, pains and aches Crumby stuff like toast and crackers, chips and pastry flakes BRIDGE Red stuff, blue stuff “mmmm” and “poooo!” stuff Some stuff’s different, some’s the same Smooth stuff, rough stuff, soft or tough stuff Your stuff, my stuff, stuff we have in common as we play the human game Stinky stuff like rotten eggs, off milk and babies nappies Drinky stuff like water, juice or “I’ll have a cup of tea please” Clinky stuff like coins and metal buttons and the car keys CHORUS Quiet stuff like silence, whispers and the library too Tie it stuff like bows and knots and laces in your shoe Buy it stuff like food and clothes and books and games for you CHORUS We humans share.

LULLABY (FOR SIAN) ©Kath Bee 2007 Close your eyes now you’re warm in your bed Close your eyes and remember the things we shared Close your eyes and you’ll soon be far away Go to sleep, my love, go to sleep Sweet dreams taking over your mind Sweet dreams of whatever your heart desires Sweet dreams will see you through the night Go to sleep, my love, go to sleep Softly shines the pale silvery moon Through your window and into your room Softly shines the moon and stars up above Go to sleep, my love, go to sleep
