Sailing Song
02:33

Yo ho ho, how I love to sail,
On the salty ocean blue,
Come with me on my sailing ship,
And join my sailing crew.
Let's pull the anchor, 1-2-3!
Wind up the anchor very tidily,
Hoist up the mainsail - up it goes!
Here comes the ocean wind, we'll sail wheree'er it blows!
Yo ho ho, how I love to sail,
On the salty ocean blue,
Come with me on my sailing ship,
And join my sailing crew.
Look through the telescope to see where we will sail,
Turn the wheel now captain, we're on the ocean trail,
Seagulls will fly away, dolphins will dive,
When our ship comes sailing by, it's great to be alive!

Seamor the Seahorse
02:23

|
Seamor the Seahorse has a very empty tum.
He eats and eats and eats all day
But his meal is never done!
Seamor the Seahorse swims in the shallows of the sea,
He holds on tight to seaweed and he lives so happily.
Seamor has a special pouch where all his babies grow,
And when they're ready to be born, out they all go!
Seamor the Seahorse has a very empty tum.
He eats and eats and eats all day
But his meal is never done!
Seamor the Seahorse swims in the shallows of the sea,
He holds on tight to seaweed and he lives so happily.
Seamor has a lovely crown that grows up on his head,
His long snout sucks up all his food from the seagrass bed.

Busy Buzzy Bumblebee

I am a busy buzzy bumblebee,
I'm buzzin' around!
A busy buzzy bumble with a busy buzzy sound,
Buzzin' round the garden,
In and out of trees,
I'm a busy buzzy bumblebee!
Buzzin' up high,
Buzzin' down low,
I land on the flowers
And then off I go!
Buzzin' by your shoulder,
Buzzin' by your knee,
I'm a busy buzzy bumblebee!
I am a busy buzzy bumblebee,
I'm buzzin' around!
A busy buzzy bumble with a busy buzzy sound,
Buzzin' round the garden,
In and out of trees,
I'm a busy buzzy bumblebee!
Buzzin' really fast,
Buzz around your head,
Looking for a flower so that I can go to bed,
I'm a sleepy little bumblebee,
I close my eyes,
'Cos I'm a tired buzzy bumblebee.
I am a busy buzzy bumblebee,
I'm buzzin' around!
A busy buzzy bumble with a busy buzzy sound,
Buzzin' round the garden,
In and out of trees,
I'm a busy buzzy bumblebee!

Rainbow of Colours

|

|
There's a rainbow of colours all around me,
There's a rainbow of colours around you;
Red, orange, yellow, green and blue,
Indigo, violet, in ev'ry hue.
Red is the colour of the sunset sky,
Orange is the sun going down;
Yellow is the heart of the daisy flower,
Green grows the grass all around.
There's a rainbow of colours all around me,
There's a rainbow of colours around you;
Red, orange, yellow, green and blue,
Indigo, violet, in ev'ry hue.
Blue is the sky above planet Earth,
Indigo is purple blue;
Violet is purple berries and flowers,
Beautiful colours true.
There's a rainbow of colours all around me,
There's a rainbow of colours around you;
Red, orange, yellow, green and blue,
Indigo, violet, in ev'ry hue.

Be Kind
02:03
|
|||
|
Be kind to animals, be kind to trees,
Be kind to everyone, that's what I believe.
All living things have a heart like you and me,
If we are kind then we'll all live happily.
Be kind to butterflies, be kind bees,
Be kind to spiders and who knows what we'll achieve.
All living things have a heart like you and me,
If we are kind then we'll all live happily.
If you're ever feeling sad,
Try a little kindness and change sad to glad!
Be kind to others as you go through your day,
Be kind to everyone in your thoughts and what you say.
All living things have a heart like you and me,
If we are kind then we'll all live happily.

Wilbur the worm is wriggling, Wilbur the worm is squiggling.
He wriggles in. He wriggles out.
Wilbur finds a wall. Can he get past? Not at all.
But a fence he can get through. Under he goes, Wiggling through.
Wilbur the worm is wriggling, Wilbur the worm is squiggling.
He wriggles in. He wriggles out.
Wilbur finds some stairs. They go up. The go down.
He wriggles round a tree. Wriggling round happily.

But even though we're not the same,
Hold hands with me and make the chain.
