Lyrics:
Oh, what a wonderful day
I haven't met this one before
Days come and go
I make friends with each one of them

I see that this one's got
A smile for me at sunrise
A wave for me at sundown
A hug for me when the moon shines
And another day rolls 'round

Oh what a wonderful moment
I haven't met this one before
Breaths come and go
I make friends with each one of them

I know that this one's got
Joy when I breathe in
Hope when I breathe out
And gratitude if I need to catch my breath
And another moment starts

Oh what a wonderful heartbeat
I haven't felt this one before
Each beat is precious and steady and grounded and strong

I know that this one's got
Courage when the lights are dim
An anchor when I'm drifting
Rhythm when I need music
And heartbeats keep drumming on and on

Oh what a wonderful life
I never had this one before
I'm grateful for heartbeats and moments
and days and I keep wondering
What might be in store

Over all the flowers and the trees
Over all the mountains and the rivers
Over all the lakes and the beaches

You bring the sparkles
You bring the spangles
Good morning sunshine

Over all the people and the animals
Over all the deserts and the jungles
Over all the towns and all the cities
Over all the planes that fly
Over all the ships at sea
Shine your rays on me

We can run all the way
So catch me if you can

Swing high and swing low
Round and round we’ll go
Up the steps and down the slide
Swing low and swing high

Let’s go for a ride
And see what we can see
We can take our bikes
And you can take the lead

Pedal fast or pedal slow
Round and round our wheels go
Through the neighbourhood to the park
Pedal slow or pedal fast

Let’s go
Let’s go

It’s such a happy kinda day under blue skies
We could take a picnic with some apple pie
And sandwiches and watermelon slices

Let’s go play
You can choose the way
We can hop like froggies
Or bounce like bunnies

See saw up and down (up and down)
Carousel goes round and round (round and round)
At the park we can play (we can play)
We can play, oh play all day

Let’s go
Let’s go to the park I’ll race you there
Let’s go
We can ride our bikes and feel the wind in our hair

Let’s go

Swing high and swing low
Swing high and swing low
Swing high and swing low
Swing high and swing low

Round and round we’ll go

Row row row row row
Do do do do do do

It's a candyfloss feeling
When we find a friend
Gonna keep on paddling with you
Right around the riverbend
When we get to the campsite
We can have a sing-song around the fire
It's gonna be a hootenanny
I wanna hear you sing oh li li li

Do do do do do do
Swing your partner round
Do do do do do do
All in a line, let's dance now
Do do do do do do
Woh oh oh
Woh oh oh

In the evergreen evening
There's a thousand twinkling stars
It's a colorful journey
Take a breath
Look where we are
Step into the future
Learning as we go (learning as we go)
Where to next?
Wherever the river flows oh

Do do do do do do
Paddle paddle on
Do do do do do do
Paddle paddle on
Row row row your boat
Row row row your boat
Woh oh oh
Paddle paddle on
Paddle paddle on

Lyrics:

Doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo

I love being me (ba ba ba ba)
I love being part of this family
I love being loud and funny
And now I'm gonna tell you
All about what makes me happy

I love waking up (ba ba ba ba)
In the morning, part of this family
Eating cereal, telling my favorite jokes
The ones that make you crumple up your nose

I love being super duper silly sometimes (ba ba ba ba)
Ooh just part of this family
Throwing confetti everywhere, let's party
I love to stomp and jump and twirl and whirl around

I love being quiet and listening
Ooh just part of this family
I love closing my eyes and imagining
My wonderful future in the making

Ahhh oooh
Maybe tomorrow
Me and my bestest friend forever and ever
Can take a picnic and play in the backyard
And the sprinkler will be making rainbows
Forever and ever

Doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo

I love being me (ba ba ba ba)
I love helping out
I love being silly
I love to sing and shout
I love being me
I love being free
Just part of this family

I love being funny (ba ba ba ba)
I love being helpful
I love being kind
I love being thoughtful
I love being free
I love being me
Always part of this family

Ba ba ba ba
Just of this family
Just part of the family

6: Imagination Room

Track 6: Imaginations Room [02.37]

Lyrics:

Hello and welcome to my imagination room
It's kinda like an aquarium or zoo
But it's full of ideas not fish or kangaroos

Step inside, and I can be your guide
I'll show you where my great ideas reside
Come on in and make a wish

Dreams oh dreams and wonders
Wonders and wonders and wonders
Here in my imagination room
Is where my dreams begin

This room is a memory
This room is the future
This room is possibilities
This room is ever-expanding (ever-expanding)
Like a bubble stretching and floating

Dreams oh dreams and wonders
Wonders and wonders and wonders
Here in my imagination room
Is where my dreams begin
Dream oh dreams and wonders
Wonders and wonders and wonders
Here in your imagination
Is where your dreams begin

So close your eyes
Inside your mind
Is your own imagination ride
Maybe like a ferris wheel
Or the one that goes loopty loop

Dreams oh dreams and wonders
Wonders and wonders and wonders
Here in the imagination room

Dreams oh dreams and wonders
Wonders and wonders and wonders
Here in our imagination room
That's where our dreams start coming true

7: Dinosaur Garden Party [02:12]

Lyrics:

Oh welcome!
Thanks for coming
Come on in
Ooh do mind your head

There’s a T-Rex in the garden
And a Stegosaur in the shed
Diplodocus on the deck
Archaeopteryx overhead

Dinosaurs are here for the garden party
But what shall we have for tea?
It’s a dinosaur garden party
I hope they don’t eat me

There’s Megalodons in the swimming pool
Triceratops in the tub
Brachiosaurus in the bushes
Baryonyx in the shrubs

Cave Lions climbing in cupboards
They’re not supposed to go inside!
Brontosaurus in the den
Where, oh where, can I hide?

Dinosaurs are here for the garden party
But what shall we have for tea?
It’s a dinosaur garden party
I hope they don’t eat me

I know - we could play a game!

Follow the leader!
Dinosaurs - after me!

Roar, stomp, munch, crunch
Roar, stomp, munch, crunch
Roar roar, stomp stomp
Munch munch, crunch crunch
Roar roar, stomp stomp
Oh wait! your teeth are a little close

Dinosaurs are here for the garden party
But what shall we have for tea?
It’s a dinosaur garden party
I hope they don’t eat me

Roar roar, stomp stomp
Munch munch, crunch crunch
Roar roar, stomp stomp
Munch munch, crunch crunch

Yum!
Thanks for coming
Diplodocus love donuts
Brachio's love brownies
T-Rex’s love green tea!

8: Road Works

Track 8: Road Works [02:33]

Lyrics:

Click click
Brrm brrm

The wheels on the car go round
Today we’re heading in to town

Roadworks

Digger
The digger is scooping
Digger
The digger is turning
Digger
The digger is digging
Making us a new road

Tip truck is tipping
Gravel grader is grading
Roll roller is rolling
Making us a new road

Are you building a road with me ?
Are you building a road with me?
Are you building a road with me ?
Are you building a road with me ?

Hard hat
High vis

The wheels on the car go round
Slow down!
Today we’re heading in to town

Roadworks

Stop, it’s the traffic conductor
Stop, the traffic is waiting
Go, the cars go single file
Making us a new road

Paint, painting on the new lines
Slow wheels go half time
So many cones stacked side by side
Making us a new road

Are you building a road with me ?
Are you building a road with me ?
Are you building a road with me ?
Are you building a road with me ?

Work boots
Potholes

Are you building a road with me ?
Are you building a road with me ?
Are you building a road with me ?
Are you building a road with me ?

9: If I Was a Farmer

Track 9: If I Was a Farmer [03:10]

Lyrics:
Two three four
Farmer, hammer, digger, tractor
River, mountain, saddle, beehive
Hour, day
Sunshine, hay
Oooh

If I was a farmer, I could work the land
Work, work, working the land
If I had a hammer, I could build a barn
Bang, bang, building a barn

Work, work, working the land
Bang, bang, building a barn
Work, work, working the land
Work, work, working the land
Bang, bang, building a barn
Work, work, working the land

If I had a tractor, I could sow the corn
Row by row sow the corn,
If I had a digger, I could dig the dam
Dig, dig, digging the dam

Row by row, sow the corn
Dig, dig, digging the dam
Row by row, sow the corn
Row by row, sow the corn
Dig, dig, digging the dam
Row by row, sow the corn

If I had a saddle, I could ride my pony
Clip clop, ride away
If I had a beehive, I could gather honey
ooh the sweetest taste

Clip clop, ride away
ooh the sweetest taste
Clip clop, ride away
Clip clop, ride away
ooh the sweetest taste
Clip clop, ride away

If I had an hour, I'd spend the day
If I had the sunshine, I'd make hay
If I had a beehive, that'd be sweet
If I had a pony, that'd be neat
If I had a mountain, I could climb
If I had a river to unwind
If I had a digger for my dam,
If I was a farmer, I'd work the land

If I was a farmer, I'd work the land

If I had a hammer, I'd build a barn
If had a tractor to sow the corn
If I had a digger for my dam
If I was a farmer, I'd work the land

If I had mountain, I could climb
If I had river to unwind
If I had a digger for my dam
If I was a farmer, I'd work the land

10: Rainbows in My Food

Track 10: Rainbows in My Food [2:34]

Lyrics:
There's a rainbow in my lunchbox
A rainbow in my food
A rainbow in my morning tea
And afternoon snacks too
A rainbow on my dinner plate
Colourful and bright
Rainbows follow me around
Morning, noon, and night

Rainbows in my food
Rainbows in my food
Rainbows in my food
Rainbows follow me around
And I think it's so cool

There's a rainbow in my carrots
A rainbow stripe of orange
A rainbow in my apple
Crunchy, fresh and green
A rainbow in my bananas
White and yellow
Rainbow stripes in all my berries
Purple, red, and blue

Rainbows in my food
Rainbows in my food
Rainbows in my food
Rainbows follow me around
And I think it's so cool

There's a rainbow in my fruit bowl
Shining colours round the room
A rainbow in my fridge
Singing rainbows in my food
A rainbow in my garden
Veggie patch so bright
Rainbows follow me around
Morning, noon, and night

How many rainbow colours can you find in food?
Red, orange, yellow, green, violet, indigo, blue
How many rainbow colours can you find in food?
Red, orange, yellow, green, violet, indigo, blue
Red, orange, yellow, green, violet, indigo, blue

Rainbows in my food
Rainbows in my food
Rainbows in my food
Red, orange, yellow, green, violet, indigo, blue
(Rainbows follow me)
Red, orange, yellow, green, violet, indigo, blue
(Rainbows follow me)
Red, orange, yellow, green, violet, indigo, blue
Rainbows follow me around
And I think it's so cool

Lyrics:
If I had a fire truck
I’d help my friends
If they ever needed me
If I had a fire truck
I’d keep it ready
With everything that I’d need

If I get the call, I’d stop what I’m doing
And drop down the fire station pole
I would start the engine up
And my fire truck would go (go go)

And it sounds like

Wee ooo wee ooo
Wee ooo wee ooo
Wee ooo wee ooo
And it sounds like
Wee ooo wee ooo
Wee ooo wee ooo
Wee ooo wee ooo

Inside my fire truck
I’d keep my rescue tools
My ladder, my lights, and more
Inside my fire truck
There would be room for you
So come on, step on board

If we get the call, we’d stop what we’re doing
And drop down the fire station pole
We would start the engine up
And our fire truck would go

And it sounds like

Wee ooo wee ooo
Wee ooo wee ooo
Wee ooo wee ooo
And it sounds like
Wee ooo wee ooo
Wee ooo wee ooo
Wee ooo wee ooo

If I had fire truck
In an emergency
I’d be on the scene
With my fire truck
I’d help my friends (help my friends)
And all my community

Lyrics:

Five little birdies in the kowhai tree
Peekaboo birdies
One, two, three, four five

Where did they go?
Say hi little birdies!
Peekaboo!

How many birdies in the kowhai tree?
One birdie warbling just for me

Peekaboo!

How many birdies in the kowhai tree?
Two birdies swooping and diving
One birdie warbling just for me

Peekaboo!

How many birdies in the kowhai tree?
Three birdies singing in harmony
Two birdies swooping and diving
One birdie warbling just for me

Peekaboo!
That's three!

How many birdies in the kowhai tree?
Four birdies dancing leaf to leaf
Three birdies singing in harmony
Two birdies swooping and diving
One birdie warbling just for me

Peekaboo birdies!
That's four

How many birdies in the kowhai tree?
Five little birdies so noisy
Four birdies dancing leaf to leaf
Three birdies singing in harmony
Two birdies swooping and diving
One birdie warbling just for me

Five, four, three, two, one!

Bye bye birdies

Lyrics:

Have you got your library card?
Have you got your library card?
You know it can take you far

Open a book and let your mind fly

Have you got a library card?
Yes we got our library card
Come on in and you can start
Walk on in and let's start
Tell me what you wanna find
Imagine what we might find
Books can help you dream big
Even when you're pint sized

Swipe your card check your books out
Did you know you can take them home?

If you got a library card
Yes we got a library card
Tell me what you wanna know
Everything there is to know
You can learn your history
Tell us all our history
The most fantastic stories ever told
ooooh

Swipe your card check your books out
Did you know you can take them home?
Hope you had fun at the library
It's a place where everyone belongs

And I can wash my hair
There's bubbles everywhere
This is my little tune
And you can sing it too wee ooo

This is my bath song
I hope you sing along
Cos if you’re gonna sing
You might as well sing in the bath

La la la (quack quack quack quack)
La la la la la
La la la (quack quack quack quack)

In the bath sound reverberates
Echo, echo, echo
When you sing in the bath
Your voice rings out like la la la la la la la

La la la (quack quack, quack quack quack)
La la la la la
La la la (quack quack, quack quack quack)

La la la
La la la la la (quack quack quack quack)
La la la

This is my bath song
I hope you sing along
This is my little tune
And you can sing it too wee ooo

This is my bath song
And you can sing along
Cos if you're gonna sing
You might as well sing
If you’re gonna sing
You better just sing
If you’re gonna sing
I hope you’re gonna sing in the bath

19: Puppet Show Life

Track 19: Puppet Show Life [02:49]

Lyrics:
Ooh ooh ooh oooh

We got cellophane seas
and cottonwool clouds
Hanging in a watercolour sky
In our puppet show life
In our puppet show life

We got little paper houses
with fairy lights inside
All the neighbours wear permanent smiles
In our puppet show life
In our puppet show life

We got lollypop stick telephone poles
In green fields of felted wool
The sheep are made of string
They look just like the real thing
But beware of the fabric bulls

The moon is papier mache
The stars are made of rhinestones
The little birds sing when we wind them
There's a wire attached to everything
And everything moves in time

It's the puppet show spectacular
If you want to be a star
Come and join us tonight
In the marionette theatre
kinetic and lenticular
It's such a wondrous ride

Ooh ooh ooh oooh (ahhh)
Ooh ooh ooh oooh

Well the rainbows don't come and go
Everything is perfect
We'd never leave our puppet show
Oh we'd never leave
Cos it's the only life we know
Woh oh oh, woh (ahhh)
Woh oh oh, woh (ahhh)

Ooh ooh ooh oooh (ahhh)
Ooh ooh ooh oooh
Ooh ooh ooh oooh

20: The Dream Fairy

Track 20: The Dream Fairy[2:30]

Lyrics:
The dream fairy is singing to me
A song that sounds buzzy and fuzzy and free
A dream lullaby for my tired eyes
The dream fairy's singing to me

It goes
Siúil, siúil a rún
Siúil, siúil a rún
Siúil, siúil a rún
Siúil, siúil, siúil

The dream fairy she whispers to me
A story that's cosy and snuggly and free
A dream bedtime story for my sleepy ears
The dream fairy whispers to me

It goes
Ever, ever after
Ever, ever after
Ever, ever after
Ever and ever

The dream fairy is humming to me
A tune that sounds happy and homely and free
A dream lullaby for my heavy eyes
The dream fairy's humming to me
It goes

Hmmm
Hmmm
Hmmm
Hmmm, Hmmm, Hmmm
Mmmm
