UN MOMENTO 04:03
I was running and dropping My things on the ground I was tripping upstairs With my hair falling down I was fumbling and stumbling And out of my head I was all hot and bothered Till somebody said Una Momento I was running to ballet And racing to gym I was screaming cross town To be taught how to swim Between step-parent B And step-parent A I was pushed I was pulled Please somebody say Una Momento Wait just a minute Hang on a sec No need to hurry Slow down We’ll get there yet Una Momento I was huffing and puffing And losing my breath I was pushed to the brink I was close to the edge I was tied up in knots I was hung by a thread I was totally crazy Till somebody said Una Momento

Hey Birdbrain I think I smell a rat You missed me by a whisker You big scaredy cat Do the duck for cover Get your feet wet With your crocodile tears That’s all you’re going to get Floats like a butterfly Stings like a bee Something smells fishy to me We all are animals Hey hogwash You eat like a pig Cock-a-doodle-doo You’re bigger than big Like a possum in a headlight Like a kitten in a sack C’mon ugly duckling Let’s quack quack quack Hey Dogbreath Find your own way home Tickle me tiger Work your fingers to the bone Do the cheeky monkey Swing from a tree Let’s all go bananas 1 2 3

I won’t get in the choir If I don’t sing any higher I can sing low Oh so low In the ground I go High high sing a little higher high high high High high sing a little higher try try try I made it to the choir Cos I sang a little higher I can sing high I can sing low Up into the sky In the ground I go

WASPITAL 03:26
Curse you You stung me I think you know it was wrong Bumble You bee-ed me I may be down but not for long Take me to the Waspital I need help How did You find me You’ve flown into my life again Why must You hurt me Your poison darts get under my skin Doctor Please fix me My heart is sorely in need of repair Bind me And stitch me Give me all your Waspital care

BLACK SOCKS 01:37
I’ve got to go to the laundry To find where the black socks go Where do they go? I hid them in the fridge I stuffed them in the hedgerow I baked them and I ate them And I taught them how to spit I left them in the rain Cos I don’t give a shiver me timbers I hope you never find them Cos I hid them In the oven Where they’ll burn and turn to ashes And I’ll take them to the garden And bury them in a big black hole

HAPPITY 02:54
Happity skipped and Happity hopped But Happity couldn’t get over it all He pricked up his ears He picked up his feet But tripped on his tail and everyone saw The fumbliest stumbliest bunny of all His feet are too big And his teeth are too small Happity Happity Happity Happity Lives in a burrow in Palmerston North Happity wished and Happity hoped That some little bunny would give him a call Cos all of the rabbits of Manawatu Were going to go to the Rabbity Ball His brothers and sisters and uncles and aunts Were learning the steps to the rabbity dance Happity drooped and Happity sighed A rabbity tear fell onto his paw The onliest loneliest rabbit, he thought Cos no-one would ask him to go to the ball He looked out the window and what did he saw Miss Hippity Hop from the burrow next door Miss Hippity Hop looked sadder than sad Her teeth were too big and her feet were too small She wanted to go but no-one would ask Miss Hippity Hop to the Rabbity Ball Then Happity saw that he might have a chance “Miss Hippity Hop do you know how to dance?” Miss Hippity Hop said “Why yes I do” And bunnily showed him a dance step or two And Happity’s heart went skippity beat Cos she didn’t notice his very large feet They danced in the moonlight and everyone saw Hip Hop and Happity having a ball

Cut your Toenails Put them into a jar Add some Earwax Sweeten with brown sugar It’s a magical potion It’s a magical stew It’s disgusting for me It’s disgusting for you Stir with Toothbrush Give it a good hard shake Add some Cat food Into the oven to bake For a Topping Dribble a little spit Add a Cockroach Who would have thought of it Give it To your Mother to indigest If she Eats it You have achieved success

It’s grey today My plane can’t fly away All I can see Is where I’d rather be One step forward Two steps back My wing fell off And I’ve a nasty cough All I can do Is wait for Doctor Who I’m standing still By the window sill Here comes the rain It’s cold and wet again

MEANIE 03:04
I only love you When you’re beautiful I only love you When you’re good I only love you When you do what I say And you know that you should A meanie A meanie old me A meanie I only love you When you’re well behaved I only love you When you’re sweet I only love you When you’re nice to me And you deserve a treat I only love you When you’re popular I only love you When you’re cute I only love you When your teeth are clean And that’s the honest truth

HOLIDAY 02:49
On a holiday in Polynesia Sitting underneath the coconut trees Sun is shining on the pretty blue sea When a big fat coconut fell on me On a holiday in Australia Kangarooses on the hop all daylia Sitting underneath the old gum tree When a blue-tongued lizard took a piece of me On a holiday in the Antarctic Took my snowshoes and my sharpest ice pick Played with penguins in the freezing sea When a hump backed whale got a crush on me On a holiday in old New Zealand Grass is greener and the sheep are clean and Birds are singing in the totara tree When an earthquake shook itself all over me

FRET NOT 03:08
Fret not Fret not Worries on your mind Keeping you from sleeping In the night Fret not Fret not Worry lullaby Leads you to a peaceful dream Tonight Sleep and before long All your troubles Will be gone
