JUST CHILLIN’
©Kath Bee 2013
Sometimes I need some space
Sometimes I need to calm down
Sometimes I need a break
I don’t always have to be rushing round
Sometimes I need some quiet
Sometimes I need time out
CHORUS
When that time comes
If someone asks, I’ll say
I’m just chillin’
I’m just relaxing’
I’m kickin’ back
I’m takin’ 5
Yeah I’m just chillin’
I’m hangin’ out
I’m unwindin’
It’s part of looking after myself
Sometimes I need a siesta
Sometimes I need a rest
Sometimes I need some peace and quiet
I don’t always have to be full of zest
Sometimes I need some silence
Sometimes….no responsibilities
CHORUS
BRIDGE
I could read a book
Or watch a movie
Or play with my toys alone
Listen to some music
Or blob on the couch
Or talk to a friend on the phone
Whatever helps me to recharge my batteries
I’ll do it and I’ll say to you HEY
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
Autumn trees all stark and bare
But the crisp dry leaves spread colour everywhere
Winter winds will chill your bones
But warm, bright fires fill your homes
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

Enchanted Forest
©Kath Bee 2013
Toadstools and fairies and eyes looking down at you from the trees
Witches and goblins and whispers that carry on the breeze
Rhythmical waterfalls casting a spell on you
Find what you’re looking for in the Enchanted Forest
Wizards and dragons and wild beasts howling to the moon
Fireflies dancing to music that draws you into its tune
Fountains of water that keep you young forever
Find what you’re looking for in the Enchanted Forest
CHORUS
What will you see?
Magic and mystery
Let your imagination run wild
Soft moss and tree roots that come to life under your feet
What will you hear?
Secrets from nowhere
And music that comes from your heart
Such an adventure in the Enchanted Forest
INSTRUMENTAL
Snow-covered mountains and statues of ice that might follow you
Mist rising up from the ground forming shapes right in front of you
Rays of the sun shining patches of light through the trees
Find what you’re looking for in the Enchanted Forest
CHORUS

Blowing Bubbles
©Kath Bee 2012
Bubbles here, bubbles there
Blowing bubbles in the air
Bubbles swirling all around
Bubbles bouncing on the ground
Bubbles here, bubbles there
Blowing bubbles in the air
Bubbles landing on your nose
Bubbles tickling your toes
CHORUS
They float, they pop
We don’t want to stop
Blowing bubbles
Bubbles here, bubbles there
Blowing bubbles in the air
Coloured bubbles passing by
Look like rainbows in the sky
BRIDGE (the ‘poppy’ bit)
POP POP POP POP POP POP POP X2
They make you laugh, they make you smile
You can watch them for hour, or a little while
They twist and they twirl and they’re hard to hold
You’re sometimes too young, but you’re never to old
For blowing bubbles
Bubbles here, bubbles there
Blowing bubbles in the air
Make you feel so good inside
You’ll know that feeling if you’ve tried
Blowing bubbles
BRIDGE
Blowing bubbles x 3

There are Fairies....

There are Fairies….
©Kath Bee 2013
There are fairies, dancing round the campfire
Down at the bottom of my garden
I can hear them, plucking on their harp strings
Blowing on their flutes, singing a lullaby for me
Try to see them, look into the night
If they see me, they disappear from sight
Those fairies, dancing round the campfire
Down at the bottom of my garden
Their soothing music carries on the wind
Gets under my skin, gently lulling me to sleep
What do they eat? Pixie pears and berries blue
What do they drink? Acorn cups of honey dew
Fairies dancing round the campfire
Down at the bottom of my garden
Their cheeky laughter, echoes in my head
Filling it with pictures, happily turning into dreams
In the morning I run down to see
If they’ve left surprises there for me
Those fairies, dancing round the campfire
Down at the bottom of my garden
I can’t see them – but I know they’re there
Look here, look there, look everywhere
For the fairies, dancing round the campfire
Down at the bottom of my garden
Those fairies, dancing round the campfire, singing a lullaby for me

CHANGING CLOUDS
©Kath Bee 2008
Changing clouds, watch them disappear
And in the 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
INSTRUMENTAL VERSE/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

Snowflakes
©Kath Bee 2013
Think about snowflakes, the many shapes they take
Each one different from the last one to fall
Think about snowflakes, the many shapes they take
Just like your fingerprints, different from all
Snow falls gently, settles on the ground
Snow drifts slowly, without a sound
REPEAT ALL

Water In Me

Water in Me
©Kath Bee 2010
Water dripping from the trees
Water rising to my knees
Water in the lakes and seas
Water in me
Water falling from the sky
Waterfalls from way up high
Water flowing easily
Water in me
CHORUS
Water to quench my thirst
Or floods that threaten banks to burst
Ocean waves caress the shore
And of its power I’m in awe
Water in me
Water in me (x3 at end)
With the moon tides rise and fall
We have no control at all
Water is what it will be
Water in me
CHORUS

I’m Tired
©Kath Bee 2013
CHORUS
I’m tired, my head is heavy
I’m tired, my legs are weak
I’m tired, it’s been a long day
And I need to sleep
Put on my pyjamas and brush my teeth
One last trip to the toilet to do weeze
Climb into bed and maybe a bed time story
And then a kiss goodnight and turn out the light
CHORUS
Close my eyes and rest my weary head, on my pillow
Think of what I did today and what I might do tomorrow
Lots of happy thoughts to think and a little bit of yawning
Next thing you know, I wake up, huh, and it’s morning
CHORUS

Hug Your Teddy
©Kath Bee 2010
CHORUS
You’ve gotta hug your teddy (hug your teddy)
Squeeze ‘em tight (squeeze ‘em tight)
You’ve gotta hug your teddy (hug your teddy)
With all of your might (all of your might)
‘Cos they’ll walk with you and talk with you and whisper in your ear
They’ll say “I love you, do you love me too?”
And you’ll say “of course I do”.
CHORUS
‘Cos they can fly up high and swing down low, do anything you like
They can dance with you and help you sleep too
and kiss you goodnight.
BRIDGE
You can dress them up in anything you like
You can find a piece of string and tie them on to your bike
They never complain or make a fuss or start a fight AND
They’re the best friends you can have
When your other friends aren’t around
CHORUS
2 or 3 you’ve gotta hug your Teddy’s fading out.

LULLABY (FOR SIAN)
©Kath Bee 2006
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
