I am a robot big and strong,
Watch me as I walk along,
Help me sing my robot song –
Beep! Beep! Toot! Toot! Ong, ong, ong!
I have robot hands and robot feet,
Hear me clanking down the street,
I have a robot head and robot knees,
I do a robot cough! And a robot sneeze!
I am a robot big and strong,
Watch me as I walk along,
Help me sing my robot song –
Beep! Beep! Toot! Toot! Ong, ong, ong!
I have robot ears and a robot nose,
Robot arms and robot toes,
I have robot eyes and a robot chin,
And robot teeth! That make me grin!
I am a robot big and strong,
Watch me as I walk along,
Help me sing my robot song –
Beep! Beep! Toot! Toot! Ong, ong, ong!

Tree Song

|

|
A tiny seed is in the ground,
The sun comes up, the rain falls down.
And then the seed begins to grow.
Slowly, slowly grow.
A baby tree is in the ground,
The sun comes up, the rain falls down.
And then the tree begins to grow.
Slowly, slowly grow.
A great big tree is in the ground,
The sun comes up, the rain falls down.
And then the tree begins to grow.
Slowly, slowly grow.
Delicious fruit is on the tree, And in each fruit a tiny seed.
And then the fruit begins to fall,
Falling to the ground.
A tiny seed is on the ground,
The sun comes up, the rain falls down.
And then the seed begins to grow.
Slowly, slowly grow.

Zooming down the other side,

And they twinkle up in the sky,

Time to gather your family,
Time to love them joyfully,
Time for friendships that never end,
Matariki, you're my friend.
Let us think of our gifts to share,
To help all people ev'rywhere,
So we listen, and so we know,
A time to teach, a time to grow.
Matariki, New Year of change,
And we walk on, we're not the same,
Let us remember all those who've gone,
Matariki, this is their song.

The Gentle Song

Are you using gentle hands? Would you like to play?
These are things we all should know to help us through the day.
I like to use my gentle hands, I like to use my words,
When others are the same to me, We all live happily.
If I want to play with you, I softly ask, "May I play too?"
If you don't then we're still friends, We'll play together later.
I like to use my gentle hands, I like to use my words,
When others are the same to me, We all live happily.
When there's people in my way, I know just what to do.
I stop, and think, and then I say, "Please may I come through?"
I like to use my gentle hands, I like to use my words,
When others are the same to me, We all live happily.

I'll see you all another day,
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye!!
