Little Animal Eater She's a little bit of wild inside Lying right on by the side of the heater Full of little birds and mice Little Animal Eater Little-idle-little-idle-little-idle-little Animal Eater Animal eater Animal Eater Little Animal eater She's a pussy footed little machine Drinks a pint of milk at night or a litre Little fangs oh baby she's so mean Late at night She hunts alone Crying out for blood and bone Little Animal Eater Purring furrily beside your head She's the sweetest little meat eating creature Better say your prayers if she's on your bed

FLYBY 03:48
Flying high above the city She was on a mission to spy, to seek, to land. Under cover of darkness she buzzed Ground Control And beginning her descent, she dived… Oh she was looking for a place to lay her maggots Yes she was looking for a place to lay her maggots Fly in the kitchen, by the rubbish bin Buzzing around Buzzing around Fridge door is open, won’t you step right in Buzzing around Buzzing around Oh she was looking for a place to lay her maggots Yes she was looking for a place to lay her maggots Settle on a sandwich, bomb the biscuit tin Buzzing around Buzzing around Do the mashed potato on a sausage skin Buzzing around Buzzing around Oh she was looking for a place to lay her maggots Yes she was looking for a place to lay her maggots Yes ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, a marvel of nature is at work in your very home. Be astounded as two wings whip the air at a frenzied speed of 200 beats per second. Gaze in astonishment as two compound eyes collate visual information into four thousand tiny television screens. But there’s more…not one, not two, but six, yes six sexy segmented legs. Send no money, that’s right, send no money. This wonderful once in a lifetime show is now appearing in a kitchen near you! Set her sights, the fly alights on a fish’s fin Buzzing around Buzzing around Honey, jam, leftover ham, toast sliced thick or thin Buzzing around Buzzing around Oh she was looking for a place to lay her maggots Yes she was looking for a place to lay her maggots

Pretty, Sweetie, Happy, Lucky Pretty wore dresses Sweetie was nice Happy was singing Lucky was charming but cold as ice Pretty loved flowers Sweetie loved honey Happy loved singing Lucky stayed up all night counting her money Lucky won Lotto one dark summer's night She kept it all to herself She didn't tell Pretty She didn't tell Sweetie Or Happy or anyone else Pretty grew older Sweetie grew sour Happy grew quiet Lucky grew richer, minute by hour

LAZY 02:39
Lazy lazy Maybe I'll...never mind Lazy lazy I'll get up...sometime I would but I couldn't I should but I can't I just can't be bothered My motor won't start I'll do it tomorrow I'll be there next week Wait just a minute While I have a sleep My mother tells me that I'll rust away But I lie in my bed anyway
5.
PICK ME 01:58
The smallest thing Is bigger than me But I still grow On the human bean tree They never pick me They never pick me The ones who do the picking never see what I be They never pick me
6.
When you've got your favourite undies on The world's a brighter place
7.
You are what you eat It’s what you eat you are You are what you eat you are What you eat you are Is what you eat Woke up face down on a plate Plate needs food I can’t wait What’s for breakfast baconhead? Porridge spoon Boiled egg Fell asleep in my lunchbox Vegemite Or might not Frankenfurter, fish ‘n’chips Salty dog Lick my lips Split the kumara, Greedy Guts Leave the apple core Chicken pie must say goodbye Not mushroom no more
8.
JOE 02:34
Plenty more fish in the sea, Joe Plenty more fish in the sea, Joe If you go swimming Go swimming with me Plenty more fish in the sea Plenty more eggs in the box, Joe Plenty more eggs in the box, Joe Can't lift your head if it's full of rocks Plenty more eggs in the box, Joe He might be in the garden Sending shivers down your spine He might be in the bedroom Sending bad dreams to your mind He might be in the hallway If you leave your toys behind He's a horrible old monster Who lives in a bin on the beach Plenty more stars in the sky, Joe Plenty more stars in the sky, Joe You keep staring You'll get poked in the eye Plenty more stars in the sky Joe

SINGALONG 00:35
Singalong Singalong Altogether now Here's one we all know Singalong
10.
It's the Impossible Dancing Song Stands on your feet Wears the wrong clothes Lies through its teeth And breathes through its nose It's the Impossible Dancing Song Laughs in your face Swears at your mum Too many fingers And not enough thumbs It's the Impossible Dancing Song
11.
I NEVER 02:24
It wasn't my fault She pushed me He hit me first I never She did, he did, she did, he did.....I never I want what she's got 'Snot fair I got it first You never She did, he did, she did, he did.....I never You never let me So what Look what you done I never She did, he did, she did, he did.....I never You better watch out I'm telling I'll get you first You'll never She did, he did, she did, he did.....I never
