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 what 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!

Colour Within
©Kath Bee 2010
Well it could be the colour of a rose
And it could be the colour of my nose
On a cold, cold day
It could be the colour of a sunset at night
And it is the colour of a fire engine bright
CHORUS
What colour is it? What could it be?
I think it’s ________, as _______ as can be
It could be the colour of a car
And it could be the colour of a star
On a clear, clear night
It could be the colour of a very clean sheep
And it is the colour of snow so deep
CHORUS
BRIDGE
There’s colour all around us, colour everywhere
Colour in our eyes, and colour in our hair
Colour in our dreams, and colour in our skin
Each of us has our own colour within
Well it could be the colour of a tie
And it could be the colour of the sky
On a rainy day
It could be the colour of a very old dog
And it could be the colour of a hill covered in fog
CHORUS
Well it could be the colour of a flower
And it could be the colour of a tower
Shining in the sun
And it could be the colour of a saxophone in a band
And it could be the colour of lovely warm sand
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Repeat last line

BRAND NEW SHOES
©Kath Bee 2008
Walking around in my brand new shoes
Isn’t it great that they come in twos
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
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 x2
Hopping around in my brand new shoes
I want to tell everybody the news
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
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
Running around in my brand new shoes
Run, run, run, run brand new shoes
CHORUS

Let’s play with play dough
©Kath Bee 2010
Let’s play with play dough, where shall we begin?
Put it in your hand, feel it on your skin
Touch it on your cheek, touch it on your nose
Stretch it out wide, see how big it grows
CHORUS (echoed)
I love play dough (I love play dough)
Squishy squashy play dough (Squishy squashy play dough)
Soft, cool play dough (Soft, cool play dough)
Play dough is the best! (Play dough is the best!)
Now let’s make a sausage, that turns into a snake
That turns into a worm, for goodness sake!
Let it dangle down, it could be a tail
Roll it up like a hose it could be a snail!
CHORUS
Now let’s make a ball, round and round we roll
Poke it with your finger, to make a little hole
Break it into two, squash it back to one
And don’t forget to put the lid on, when you’re done!
CHORUS

CREATIVE RHYTHM
©Kath Bee 2002
Clap your hands, stamp your feet
That's the start of a really cool beat
Click your fingers and clock your tongue
The rhythm has just begun
Clap your hands, stamp your feet
The rhythm has just begun
Did you know that a box filled up with rocks
can make a really cool sound?
You can even make a noise with a couple of sticks that you pick up off the ground!
Clap your hands, stamp your feet
Click your fingers and clock your tongue
A box of rocks, a couple of sticks
The rhythm has just begun
Did you know that knives and forks and spoons
can make an interesting sound
And the best place for an instrument
is the pot cupboard I have found
Clap your hands stamp your feet
Click your fingers and clock your tongue
Knives and forks, pots and pans
The rhythm has just begun
BRIDGE
Come on be creative, that’s what music is all about
With your ears and eyes you can improvise
and find rhythm all around your house!
Clap your hands, stamp your feet
Click your fingers and clock your tongue
Clap your hands stamp your feet
The rhythm has just begun

Clean up and Tidy Up
©Kath Bee 2010
CHORUS
Clean up and tidy up and put things away
Clean up and tidy up after you play
Put the blocks in a box, do the jigsaw puzzles and pick up your socks
Pile the soft toys in a pile, how about creating your own soft toy style?
Pick the dress ups off the floor, put the clothes into their allocated drawer
BRIDGE
It makes sense so don’t despair
If you make the mess it’s only fair
You’re the one who has to have all the fun
Of tidying up and feeling proud when it’s all done
Stack the books upon the shelf; you can do this all by yourself
The recycling bin for paper scraps, pens and pencils into a pencil case perhaps?
When it’s done, check, is it a wrap?
If it looks tidy then give yourself a pat on the back
Because you’ve cleaned up and tidied up and put things away
You’ve cleaned up and tidied up ‘till next time you play
It’s easy to
CHORUS

SHAKE YA SHAKER
©Kath Bee 2010
Put your hands on your shoulders
Put your hands on your knees
Put your hands on your ears
Now everyone sneeze
CHORUS
And shake ya shaker
Shake it up and down
Shake it from side to side
And put it back on the ground
Put one hand on your nose
And put the other on your elbow too
And keep your hand on your nose
Pretend it’s stuck like glue
CHORUS
Put your hands on your head
And turn from side to side
And keep your hands on your head
And curl up in a ball and pretend to hide
CHORUS

The Goodbye Song
©Kath Bee
Goodbye (goodbye)
Glad I met ya (glad I met ya)
I had fun (I had fun)
Won’t forget ya (won’t forget ya)
Now it’s time to go (now it’s time to go)
But I’ll be back some day
So see ya later (see ya later)
Goodbye (goodbye)
