The Little Fish

THE LITTLE FISH THAT GOT AWAY

I have met fish down inside the net fish.

Wet fish, pet fish,

Big as you can get fish.

Fat fish, flat fish

Parrot fish and cat fish

But I’m the little one that got away.

Ha, ha, ha, hee, hee, hee

Can’t catch me in the deep blue sea

Ha, ha, ha, hee, hee, hee

They’ve all had their chips but me.

Jaw fish, craw fish, salmon fish and saw fish,

I’ve seen more fish than you saw before fish.

Old fish, cold fish,

Slippery to hold fish,

But I’m the little one that got away.

Now they’re fried fish, barbequed and dried fish,

Baked and flaked fish,

Put into a pie dish,

Roasted, toasted,

Gobbled up inside fish,

But I’m the little one that got away.

The Water Cycle song

THE WATER CYCLE SONG - TAKE ME TO THE WATER

The Water cycle song. Take me to the water (PLEASE USE ECHO TRACK FOR PRACTISING)

Take me to the river wash me down, down

I’m the water cycle flowing round and round,

Rivers into seas, seas into the sky until the clouds burst,

And then it all falls down

When the sun heats up the ocean there’s a nifty kind of motion

Vapour rising up into the sky

Liquid turns to gas, then back again on mass

And clouds appear before our very eyes

This is called condensation, atmospheric decoration,

Nature’s chillin’ out and making art,

Dripping down your glass, dew upon the grass,

And temperature and pressure play a part.

Take me to the river wash me down, down

I’m the water cycle flowing round and round

Rivers into seas, seas into the sky until the clouds burst,

And then it all falls down

Drip drop drip when precipitation hits

Rain and snow come pouring from the sky

Water falling down to rivers on the ground

The water cycle’s going round and round

Before the final chorus there’s a porous stage before us

Earth’s plantation gives us transpiration

Stomata on the leaves of every plant is sweating out

Vapour rising up, on a water roundabout!

Take me to the river wash me down, down

I’m the water cycle flowing round and round

Rivers into seas, seas into the sky until the clouds burst,

And then it all falls down

It all falls down

It all falls down

I’m the water cycle flowing round and round.

Muscles and Bones

Muscles & Bones

Chorus

When you nod your head,

Manoeuvre the cranium,

Or stamp your feet,

Twenty-six bones each,

When you clap your hands,

A clash of the phalanges,

• There’s a lot going on underneath.

O, the skin is a fabulous thing to be in,

But it can’t get round on its own.

Every action needs a muscle contraction

And a lot of support from your bones.

Verse 1

Now the average newborn baby has over 300 bones,

And then some will fuse together on the way to being totally grown.

So the average adult human has only 206,

But there are still enough of them to hold you up

And do some pretty impressive tricks.

The longest is the femur, in the thigh is where you’ll find it;

The strongest is the tibia, and the fibula is behind it.

Oh, it’s great to know you’re a vertebrate, it’s divine to have a spine,

So let’s celebrate the fact that our backbone’s stacked

And give it ten out of nine for design.

Chorus

Verse 2

You’ve got more than six hundred muscles

And they always work in pairs.

There are even very small ones

At the root of every one of your hairs.

When you’re sitting down watching telly,

When you’re sitting on top of the bus,

The very bottom line

Is that you’re spending time

Upon your gluteus maximus.

Your mum might wag her finger

If you accidentally vex her,

In other words,

She’s exercising a warning digital flexor.

We depend on muscles and tendons too,

And it makes you stop and think….

It takes seventeen to smile,

Forty three to frown,

And slightly over one hundred to wink.
