11-Butterfly
a butterfly was flying by a garden in july
he landed on a cabbage leaf and heard a mournful sigh
a big fat hairy caterpillar nibbling on a leaf
said if I could fly like you that would be a relief
but look here said the butterfly not very long ago
I sat and nibbled leaves like you
and crawled around so slow
but soon youll be a butterfly
and through the leaves youll flutter by
and you will be so happy that you never more will say
caterpillars only crawl
caterpillars only crawl
crawling here, nibbling there
crawling nibbling everywhere
caterpillars only crawl
and id like to reach the garden wall
but on the sleep by day
nibbling all day
never getting anywhere at all
but look here said the butterfly not very long ago
I sat and nibbled leaves like you
and crawled around so slow
but soon youll be a butterfly
and through the leaves youll flutter by
and you will be so happy that you never more will say
caterpillars only crawl
caterpillars only crawl
crawling here, nibbling there
crawling, nibbling, everywhere

youll fly away

than lighting up the sky?
do you every look above,

wish that you could shine,
in the atmosphere?
but none of the stars shine as beautifully,
because you're the brightest star that shines,
in the deep blue sea
starfish, beautiful starfish,
do you think that you were wrong,
to live beneath the ocean waves,
instead of twinkling at night?
starfish, graceful starfish,
when did you fall from on high?
would you rather be on earth,
than lighting up the sky?
when the stars above look down on the deep blue sea,
dazzled by the jewels on this treasury,
for underneath the waves sparkling magically,
a starfish constellation shining for me
starfish, elegant starfish,
i'm pleased you decided to fall,
you are the princess of the sea,
the most beautiful fish of them all,
starfish, you're a star

140-We're So DIfferent
I like painting
and making things
I like dancing
I like to sing
I like bouncing and touching things
creeping over and under things
none more important than the other one
oh-so different
but that's what makes it so much fun
I like running
and banging things
pushing buttons
and tying strings
I like clothes and fancy things
I like to act as queen or king
none more important than the other one
oh-so different
but that's what makes it so much fun
that's what makes it so much fun

141-What Can I See?


what can I see from the top of a cliff?
what can I see, what can I see?
the sea crashing down on the rocks below
that's what I see from the top of a cliff
waves crashing into the foam
what can I see from the top of a cliff?
what can I see, what can I see?
boats lying stranded on the glistening sand
that's what I see from the top of a cliff
a perch for the seagulls to land
what can I see from the top of a cliff?
what can I see, what can I see?
a big stripey lighthouse that's tall and bright
that's what I see from the top of a cliff
it's such a wonderful sight
what can I see from the top of a cliff?
what can I see, what can I see?
chimneys on roofs and a street below
that's what I see from the top of a cliff
that's what I see far below

i'm the woo woo monster
i'll blow your things about
if you go into the garden
you'll hear me scream and shout
woo, woo

and what I like the best
is blowing leaves off all the trees
and making such a mess

only if you...
only if you...
only if you...

145-Woolly Jumper

wella, wella, wella


I got a woolly jumper
that was knitted for me by my gran
he got a jumper
a woolly, woolly jumper
the only trouble is
it unravelled when doodles ran
he's got a jumper
a woolly, woolly jumper
it twisted round the chair
it twisted over there
a woolly jumper
a woolly jumper
a woolly, woolly jumper
I said I got a woolly jumper
and my gran she knitted it
gran did some knitting
ooh she did the knitting
but the jumper was too big
so it didn't really fit
gran did the knitting
ooh she did the knitting
what a piece began to pull
and unravelled all the wool of my jumper
a woolly jumper
a woolly, woolly jumper
I ended up with wool
that was stretched all through the hall
the strength of woollen
a woolly, woolly woollen
but max knew what to do
so we rolled the wool into a ball
you weren't for fooling
max he's not for fooling
now i've got a woolly jolly
that reaches to my tummy
a woolly jumper
a woolly jumper
ooh its made of wool
and that's why I look cool
in my woolly jumper
woolarooney baby
that's all!
