Oh the rockabilly waterwheel’s been spinning in the creek Spinning all day, spinning all week It’s such a lot of fun to spin the whole day through And you can be a rockabilly waterwheel too Put your hands in the air Now spin round and round Jump up, jump up Bend down and touch the ground Put your toes to the left Toes to the right Oh the rockabilly waterwheel Song is out of sight Oh the rockabilly waterwheel’s been spinning round and round And bringing lots of what to the people in the town So they can have a big drink the whole day through And you can be a rockabilly waterwheel too.

Five Little Sycamore Seeds Holding on tight to the tree Suddenly a big gust of wind blows around And one seed falls to the ground “how many seeds are left?” (last verse ends with…) And that last seed falls to the ground.

CH Oh Manners make the man I learned that from my nan Just say please and thank you and then I’ll take your hand Oh Manners make the man I learned that from my nan Just say please and thank you and do it all again Oh, it’s important for us to be polite Say good morning and then you say goodnight When you’re coughing turn the other way And when you’re leaving you say “have a lovely day”. CHORUS When you walk through the door I wont shut it in your face When I take my seat I will save you a place When I cut my cake I will save a piece for you Coz I know you would do that for me too CHORUS x2 Just say please and thank you and do it all again!

Come on and give me a hug I may not see you for a while my little lovebug Go on and show me your smile It sticks to my heart and lasts for a little while And even if you don’t believe it’s true There’s a million things I love about you. Oh oh oh I’d row across the sea to see your face Coz you’re my saving grace You put me in the best place Oh oh oh Lay down here next to me When you are around I always sleep easy Butterfly kisses on my cheeks They say it all. You don’t have to speak no no. So go on, give me a hug I may not see you for a while my little lovebug

Upside Down 01:37
Sit me on your lap, just like that Hold by my hands and gently lay me back The ground becomes the sky and the sky becomes the ground When the world is upside down Upside down, upside down It’s a lovely place just to hang around And I’m wondering if your smile is actually a frown When the world is upside down Here we go. Sway me to and fro Hold me up high then swoop me down low My hands become my feet and I’ll walk this way to town When the world is upside down

The Orchard 03:53
Put your tiny hand in mine and close your eyes Draw the curtains ‘cross a million twinkling stars up on the sky And they all shine for you Yes they all shine for you You’ve been running You’ve been hiding Oh and today from the orchard I could Hear you crying- baby girl Wipe the sleep out of my eyes it’s barely morning time Tiny pitter-patter on the stairs, you are my sunshine So I open my eyes for you. Yeah I open my eyes for you You’ve been dreaming And I’ve been weaving them for you My baby girl x3

Rain on my garden Rain on my garden Rain on my garden Rain on it with love Feed it with water Feed it with water Oh sky you oughta Rain on my garden Part two: Blue skies come and gone Birds sing a rainy song I know it wont be long Until it’s raining Grey clouds block the sun Drip-drop has just begun Out of the rain I run And now it’s pouring Part three: Ahhhhh rain drops Rain drops keep falling Ahhhh rain drops Keep falling on me
