In Winter 02:04
In winter, days are short and the nights are long In winter, birds sing a different song In winter, I can see my breath flow through the air In winter, bare branches on the trees In winter, water flows and waters freeze In winter, I can see my breath flow through the air CHORUS Puddles of ice and the dewdrops Look nice on spiders’ webs Frost forms on the fern fronds Like dust from an angel’s wings Mmmmm In winter, snowflakes fall upon my cheeks In winter, I may not see the sun for weeks In winter, I can see my breath flow through the air CHORUS OUTRO In winter, I’ll embrace it Winter, I’ll dress for it Winter, I can see my breath flow through the air

CHORUS I take my lunch to school in a fishing tackle box My friends all say I’m crazy, but they’re wrong because it rocks There are different sized compartments for every food I need And I don’t use bags or plastic wrap, which is very good news indeed Cut up carrot sticks and celery, for a tasty spin Plop some hummus or peanut butter, in a square to dip them in Rice crackers and some cheese, cut in to different shapes A triangle of watermelon and a bunch of seedless grapes CHORUS Lettuce, ham, tomato in a roll or in a wrap Choose your favourite fillings and put them in a bap Running low on choices, time a tick, tick, ticking Slap honey in between some bread Make lunchtime finger-licking CHORUS Sometimes a home-made muffin or yoghurt with a spoon Mum and Dad say things in packets are for once in a blue moon Sushi is delicious, tuna from a tin It’s easy making healthy lunch, I’m gunna dig right in MUNCH MUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH MUNCH MUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH CHORUS very good news indeed x2

I’m gunna throw my worries out the window As I’m riding in the passenger’s seat I’m gunna take them right off of my shoulders And toss them out into the street Bye bye worries, see ya later I’m gunna dump my worries in the rubbish bin Screw them up into a little blob Take the lid off and shoot them like a basketball Put the lid on and I’ve done my job Bye bye worries, see ya later I’m gunna launch my worries into outer space On a shiny, silver, rocket ship 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 BLAST OFF Have a lovely trip Bye bye worries, see ya later I’m gunna send my worries in a parcel To somewhere far away I’m gunna wrap them up, stick them down and put on a stamp And post them off today Bye bye worries, see ya later

Paper Planes 02:04
Paper planes, fold them neatly into your own design Paper planes, fold them gently and watch them soar through the sky You can fly them over the rooftops Leave your troubles behind Paper planes, you can make them from any paper you find Paper planes, if it’s raining well, you can fly them inside From one end of the house to the other and watch them dip and dive Such a simple way to pass time when there’s nothing to do Paper planes, you’re so beautiful I think I love you They go up, they come down Sometimes they spin around One of the coolest things about paper planes is they don’t make a sound Such a simple way to pass time when there’s nothing to do Paper planes, you’re so beautiful I think I love you

Shadow, you do what I do I do what you do We’re really in synch Shadow, you hop when I hop You jump when I jump We’re such a good team CHORUS You look so tall in the afternoon sun Stretching way out on the ground And when the clouds are over my head You are nowhere to be found (until the sun peeps out) Shadow, I wave at you and You wave at me like A really good friend Shadow, let’s dance in the moonlight Like the stars I’ll shine bright With you by my side CHORUS Shadow, we’ll be together Through all kinds of weather Forever and ever Shadow, my beautiful Shadow, my fun-loving Shadow (whistle) Shadow, you’re cool
