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

Do it yourself – D.I.Y
Put on your shoes, do up your laces
Brush your teeth, hang out the washing
Do it yourself – D.I.Y
Put on your pants, do up your buttons
Make ya bed, tidy ya room
Do it yourself – D.I.Y
Butter your toast, do the dishes
Make ya bed, set the table
Do it yourself – D.I.Y
CHORUS
Ask for help when you need it
If you don’t, you can do it
It will be an achievement
You’ll be proud when ya
Do it yourself – D.I.Y
Make your lunch, pack your school bag
Wash your face, tidy your toys
Do it yourself – D.I.Y
Unpack your bag, do your homework
Put your washing into the machine
Do it yourself – D.I.Y
Put on your pyjamas, get into bed
Read a book, turn out the light
Do it yourself – D.I.Y
CHORUS
Do it yourself – D.I.Y

Bye Bye Worries
01:18
|
|||
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

I’m gunna make myself a sandwich
What’ll I put in it?
Lettuce and tomato Mmmmm
Add some mayo
Slap it together
And put it in my tum
I’m gunna make myself a sandwich
What’ll I put in it?
Cheese and brocolli Mmmmm
Add some mayo
Slap it together
And put it in my tum
*I’m gunna make myself a sandwich
What’ll I put in it?
_____________ Mmmmm
Add some mayo
Slap it together
And put it in my tum*
Repeat from * to * adding your own fillings!

My Beautiful Shadow
02:07
|
|||
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
