Percy the Polar Bear

 

Up in the land of ice and snow

Where the temperature drops to 40 below

Who's the happiest one up there

Percy the Pale Faced Polar Bear

Sleeps all day and then at night

Catches fish by the pale moon light

Has no worries, has no cares

Percy the Pale Faced Polar Bear

Then one day a hunter came

Caught poor Percy by the snout

Locked him in a great big cage

Percy howled and he growled but he couldn't get out

 

Now he's living in a zoo

Funny thing is he likes it too

'Cos he met his girlfriend there

And she loves Percy the Pale Faced Polar Bear

Princess Pat

 

The Princess Pat lived in a tree

She sailed across the 7 seas

She sailed across the channel too

And she took with her

A rigabamboo

 

CHORUS

A rigabamboo

Now what is that

It's something made

By the Princess Pat

Its green and gold

And purple too

That's why its called

A rigabamboo

 

Now the Captain Jack had a mighty fine crew

He sailed across the channel too

But his ship sank, and so will you

If you don't take

Your rigabamboo

Sarah the Whale

 

In Frisco Bay there lived a whale

She ate oysters by the pail

By the bath tub, by the tea-cup

By the thimble or by schooner

Her name was Sarah and when she smiled

She showed her teeth for miles and miles

And her tonsils and her spare ribs

And things too fierce to mention

Oh what would you do with a whale like that

What would you do if she sat on your hat

Or your mother or your toothbrush

Or anything else that's useful like that

Smiles

(To the tune of Auld Langs Ayne)

A smile is such a funny thing,

It brightens up your face,

How hard you try you'll never find it's secret hiding place,

And far more wonderful it is,

To see what smiles can do,

I'll smile at you, you smile at me,

And so one smile makes two.

Tent Pegs

(First verse sung to the tune of "Tip toe through the tulips"

Second verse sung to the tune of "White Christmas")

Tip toe through the tent pegs

Through the tent pegs, through the tent pegs

So we'll tip toe through the tent pegs

To the loo

I'm dreaming of a flush toilet

Just like the one we have at home

With a silver chain and proper drains

And somewhere for it all to go

They were only playing Leap Frog

(sang to the tune of “Glory Glory Halleluiah”)

 

One hedgehog edged up the hedge as the other hedgehog edged down,

One hedgehog edged up the hedge as the other hedgehog edged down,

One hedgehog edged up the hedge as the other hedgehog edged down,

As one hedgehog edged up the hedge and the other hedgehog edged down :

 

Chorus : They were only playing leapfrog,

They were only playing leapfrog,

They were only playing leapfrog

As one hedgehog edged up the hedge

And the other hedgehog edged down.

 

One slow worm slid up the sluice as another slow worm slid down ...Chorus

 

One pink porpoise popped up the pole as another pink porpoise popped down ...Chorus

 

One fat flea flew up the flue as another fat flea flew down ...Chorus

Thinking Day Song

 

Hey! Hey! Hey! It's thinking day!

Hey! Hey! Hey! It's thinking day!

Hey! Hey! Hey! It's thinking day!

All over the world, it's thinking day.

In Mexico, It's thinking day!

In Switzerland, It's thinking day!

In Canada, It's thinking day!

All over the world, it's thinking day.

To Reap and Sow

 

To reap and sow and plough and mow

To be a farmers boy

To be a farmers boy

Now I be a farmers boy, a farmers boy I be

I look after the farmer's hens

With a chicky chick here and a chicky chick there

Here a chicky, there a chicky

Everywhere a chicky chicky

 

Sheep - Baa baa here

Horse - Neigh, neigh here

Cows - Moo moo here

Farmers wife - Kiss kiss here
