Three little pipi in our pipi shells Sunshine Seaweed Lying in the shallows as we filter feed Tide's in Tide's out Hanging out together singing We live next to... Two tuatua in our tua shells Sunshine Seaweed Lying in the shallows as we filter feed Tide's in Tide's out Hanging out together singing We live next to... One prickly kina in my kina shell Just me Myself One selfish shellfish on a rocky shelf Leave me Alone Don't want any company But I live next to ....

Living in the city Where the skies are blue Pretty little city when the sun shines through I buy a little lollipop I eat a little bit I spy a tiny spider And I squash it with my foot I look to left I look to right I try not to get hit I find a broken bottle And I poke it with a stick A little bit of running And a little bit of jump A little falling over And a little bit of bump I kick a can to Canada My shoelace come unstuck A tiny bit of trouble And a little bit of luck

My mother’s locked out of the house I have locked her outside She’s yelling and screaming And stamping her feet With a murderous look in her eye My mother’s locked out of the house I won’t let her back in She’s causing a riot Until she is quiet My mother’s locked out of the house My mother’s locked out of the house I have told her before She’s raising her voice So she’s left me no choice She can bang all she likes on the door My mother’s locked out of the house I have put my foot down She’s got to remember To cool her hot temper My mother’s locked out of the house Let me in Let me in Or I’ll make such a fuss From the Bluff to Levin (Levin Levin lovely Levin) My mother’s locked out of the house I have got the spare key Her awful behaviour Has upset the neighbours She doesn’t look sorry to me My mother’s locked out of the house I am counting to three She hasn’t stopped shouting So she’s still time outing My mother’s locked out of the house

FROZEN 03:15
Me and my companions Will we survive the cold> We're lost in Antartactic wasteland We must go on... Winter came too quickly Will we survive the cold? We're down to our last provisions We must go on... We can't see our footsteps Will we survive the cold? Our brave new flag lies abandoned We must go on...

BITE 02:21
They bite at night I never see them They bite at night Can't smell or hear them Silently they come at night And run upon my skin They hop and crawl, jump up the wall I don't invite them in We are the fleas We are the mites We are the nits We are the lice

GIMME 01:12
You're younger than you'll be tomorrow You're older than you were yesterday We hope your mother's beauteous You cam out of her uterus Happy happy happy birthday

Vegemite Spread All over my bed She gives me the most When I'm eating toast Leaves me nothing but crumbs Vegemite Spread Vegemite Spread I go where I'm led Under the sheets I secretly eat Leaves me nothing but crumbs Vegemite Spread If I'm a fella She's my Nutella Extract of yeast She's my midnight feast Vegemite Spread I need to be fed She comes in a jar She don't go that far Leaves me nothing but crumbs Vegemite Spread So good for me She's my vitamin B She don't go to waste 'Cos I love every taste Oh yeah

EEL 02:52
Eel ... slithering and shy Feel ... sneakily inclined Conceal ... deep beneath the slime Reveal ... beady little eye Eel ... swim against the tide Feel ... sleekily entwined Conceal ... creep up from behind Reveal ... ripple through your mind We will writhe from the rivers and the streams We will writhe together in your dreams Eel ... our own kind

BIG MOON 02:07
Big moon shining through the window Look down on me Shine your headlight round my room Cos I can't get to sleep The moon just smiled a secret smile And sailed on by... Big moon shining through the window Look down on me Roll around the world each night What do you see? The moon just smiled a secret smile And sailed on by...
