The Wheels On The Bus 

*The wheels on the bus go round 
and round
Round and round, 
round and round
The wheels on the bus 
go round and round
All around the town
The wipers on the bus go 
swish, swish, swish...

The horn on the bus goes 
beep, beep, beep...
The doors on the bus go open and shut...

The babies on the bus go "Boo hoo hoo"...

The driver of the bus says 
"Please sit down"...


* Repeat

DAD, I WANNA BE A CAMEL 
©Kath Bee 2002 

Well, I went to the zoo just the other day And I saw lots of animals there 
I saw a couple of camels and a kangaroo 
And a big brown grizzly bear 

CHORUS 1 
And I said “Dad I wanna be a camel, 
Or a bouncy kangaroo” 
and he said 
“You haven’t got a hump or a pocket in the front so you’ll just have to settle for YOU” 

Well, I went to the zoo just the other day And I saw some birds in there 
I saw some geese and a swan and some parrots too 
And lovebirds in a pair. 

CHORUS 2 
And I said “Dad I wanna be a parrot Talking all night a day” 
and he said “Get some glue and a feather or two ‘cos you’ve always got something to say!!” 

BRIDGE
Animals are fun to be around 
But with two legs and this face 
I’ve got to remember where I belong And that’s to the human race.



Bad Hair Day
Should have stayed tucked up in my bed
Should have pulled the covers back over my head
Instead I hit the floor
Headed for the door,
Just to hear my brother say
“ Yo, what’s up, fuzz nut?”

CHORUS
Mousse aint stickin
Water aint slickin
It looks like a feather from the back end of a chicken
I aint gonna use no silly hair spray
I’m havin such a bad hair day
 
Looked in the mirror – oh, what a sight!
Must have been fighting with my pillow all night
It got me in a tizz to see it in a frizz
I couldn’t find my gel anywhere

CHORUS
Opened up the cupboard, searched high and low
Tryin to find something that would fix my 
Piled on some cream
Should have heard me scream –
Suddenly my hair turned green!

CHORUS

Went down the stairs with a plan in my head
Maybe I could hide it with a beanie instead
Mum saw the hat, she said
“ You aint wearin that!
Remember what day it is today?
“ Ah – Monday?” No”
“ Ah – Tuesday?” No”
“ SCHOOL PHOTOS! AAAH!”

Ma te Mahi Ka Ora
(John Phillips 2000, Kiwi Kidsongs 11)

Rise and shine - it's a brand new day.
Ma te mahi ka ora.
We've set our goals, and we're on our way.
Ma te mahi ka ora.
Step by step, mile by mile.
For dreams to come true, it's up to you -
Let's start right here and now.

Chorus x 2
Ma te mahi ka ora.
Remember this when you wake each day.
Ma te mahi ka ora.
Cos that's the Kiwi way.

When you're down and you've lost your way.
Ma te mahi ka ora.
We'll help you on your way again.
Ma te mahi ka ora.

Step by step, mile by mile.
For dreams to come true, it's up to you -
Let's start right here and now.


Chorus x 2
Step by step, mile by mile.
For dreams to come true, it's up to you -
Let's start right here and now.


Chorus x 2
Ma te mahi ka ora.
Cos that's the Kiwi way.



"Here Comes The Sun"
Here comes the sun little darlin'
Here comes the sun
I say, "It's all right, it's all right"

Here comes the sun little darlin'
Here comes the sun
I say, "It's all right, it's all right"

Little darlin' its been
A long cold and lonely winter
Little darlin' it feels like
Years since you've been here

Here comes the sun little darlin'
Here comes the sun
I say, "It's all right, it's all right"

Little darlin' the smiles
Have returned to the faces now
Little darlin' it seems like
Years since you've been here

Little darlin' its been
A long cold lonely winter
Little darlin' it feels like
Years since you've been here

Here comes the sun
Aren't you glad to see it
I say, "It's all right"

Here comes the sun little darlin'
I say, "It's all right"

Little darlin' here comes the sun, yeah
Here comes the sun, I say, "Little darlin'"
It seems like years since you've been here
Little darlin' here comes the sun

Oh, baby it's all right now, you can come on out now
And it's all right now, you can come on out now
It's all right, you can come on out
Yes, it's all right, here comes the sun
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
