Lyrics
Singing together is a speedy way to bond, reduce stress levels and release those happy hormones.
Did you know when you sing to your baby, their brain waves sync up with yours?!
MAGIC!

The sun and the moon and the stars
Are all hanging high above
Hanging up there Lighting our way
Looking down on usHey sun, hey moon, hey stars
Hey sun, hey moon, hey starsThe sun and the moon and the stars
Can see wherever you are
They spy you in turns
While the other ones rest
and time turns into days weeks and monthsThe sun and the moon and the stars
Like to play games with clouds
They like to hide So we cannot see
And it gets pretty dark on the groundHey sun, Hey moon, Hey stars
Hey sun, Hey moon, Hey stars
I’d catch you if I had really long arms
I’d catch you If I had really long arms -
Someday day you’ll be too big to hold
Some day my baby I’ll be pretty old
So let’s tarry and treasure these days
My sweetie sweetheart oh my travelling bandSome days are hard
But they will get better
You are so small and we’re learning together
You in my arms our love tried and true
All you need to know is that I sure love youSki jumpy nose and sausagey fingers
Crocodile tears and a stare that sure lingers
Dinner roll feet and dimply hands
Who knew that such love in my heart would land -
Let’s take a walk Dum da dee dum Hand in hand Dum da dee dum
Let’s take a walk
Out in the sunWe can go high
We can go low
We can go wherever you want to go
Valley so deep River so wide
Wherever you go
I’ll be there by your side -
Well the sky is blue
Oh the sky it is blue
Then sometimes it is grey
And the sun it shines
Oh the sun yes it shines
Sometimes it hides away And I love you dear
When the sun is near
And when the sky is grey
Oh love of mine
Oh heart of mine
I love you all the time Where the dirt is red
Where the dirt is red
The brightest flowers grow
When it’s time for bed
My sleepy head
Will rest on my pillow -
Sailing sailing into the gleaming sun
Sailing sailing in a little boat for one
Sailing sailing wherever the wind may blow
Sailing sailing up and down we go Sailing sailing over the ocean blue
Sailing sailing in a little boat for two
Sailing sailing under a starry sky
Sailing sailing into the darkest night Sailing sailing enjoying the ocean breeze
Sailing sailing in a little boat for three
Sailing sailing over a bumpy sea
Sailing sailing I love your company -

Off we go to the land of nod
The land of nod we know
And on our way we will hush the day
And off to sleep we’ll go Everyday there are things to do
And new things to explore
Close your eyes now and go to sleep
Tomorrow we can do some more
You are my special little mite
And I love you so
Close your eyes now and go to sleep
Off to nod we go
I Love You The Most

Honey oh, honey oh, honey oh be
Oh be a part of my family
Honey oh, honey oh, honey oh be
Oh be a part of my familyI will keep you warm and dry
And I will love you all the time
We’ll sell honey to buy our bread
And I’ll wear capsicum on my headWe’ll make it through the winter
and the driving rain
Hold on to each other
’til it’s fine again
When the sun is shining
we’ll make some hay
Because that’s something
people sayI will buy my love a boat
and we will sail around the moat
Probably and best of all
We’ll live in a castle
with honeycomb walls -
I love bees and flowers and trees
And I love honey and things that are funny
But I love you the most
I love you the mostI love boats and buses and trains
And I love to travel on aeroplanes
But I love you the most
I love you the mostI love the sky and the clouds and the sand
And I love the bit where the sea meets the land
But I love you the most
I love you the mostI love dirt and digging in the garden
Picking people’s flowers
Oh I beg your pardon!
But I love you the most
I love you the mostI love you the
I LOVE YOU THE MOST
Woo hoo hey
I love you the most
Woo hoo hey
I LOVE YOU THE MOST
I love the sound of the tumbling rain
It’s tapping out it’s rhythm on the window pane
But I love you the most
I love you the most
I love every morning and I love it at night
How all the different times make different colours with the light
But I love you the most
I love you the most -

I went walking one day
I went walking out in the sun
As I went on my way
The strangest day begunFirst I saw a blue owl
and I said owl how do you do
Well that owl looked at me
And he said hey lalelalou
Lalelou laleou
Well he said hey lalelalou
Lalelou laleou
Well he said hey lalelalou
Ain’t that strange
Don’t you tell me that aint strangeNext I saw a speckled frog
And I said frog how do you do
To that frog upon a log
And he just said hey lalelalou
Next thing I came upon
Was a cow jumping out of a pond
And I said hey old girl
I said old girl how do you doSo I said to myself
Best I get home fast as I can
And I ran and I ran
To my mothers arms I ranAnd I told my sweet ma
All these things that happened were true
She looked me square in the eye
and just said hey lalelalouWhat to do what to do
Well there’s nothing you can do
lalelou lalelou
Come and join that chorus tooLalelou laleou
Well just sing hey lale-lalou
Lalelou lalelou
Well just sing hey lalelalou -
We’ll go climbing
we’ll go climbing
we’ll go climbing in a little brown tree
we’ll go climbingwe’ll go climbing
go climbing in a little brown tree
oh we’ll go climbing in a little brown treeWe’ll go sailing
in a little red boatWe’ll go swimming
In the deep blue seaWe’ll go running
in the fields of green -
Tiny little hands
and your baby feet
You’re squishy in the middle
Like a fresh baked treat
Rub a dub dub
we’ll get you in the tub
as the sun goes downRub a dub dub
we’ll get you in the tub
as the stars come out
Pour the water in
with a little soap
we’ll wash you from your head
to your tiny toesSplashing in the water
’til the bubbles go
we’ll wrap the little babe
in a towel just so -
If you listen carefully
You’ll hear the night bird calling
Softly softly lay your head
For there’s a new day dawning
Earlie earlie earlie aye
I’ll see you in the morning
Earlie earlie earlie aye
I’ll see you in the morning
The moon and the stars have all come out
Whisper a sailor’s warning
The wind is dancing in the trees
And the tired leaves are falling -
May the sun always shine
and the days be kind
never rattle your bonesMay the joy that lights your eyes
Never come up dry
May your tears be happyMay you love with the strength of a lion
Know a shoulder to cry on
When to stand or back downMay the rain come when you need
and your heart never greed
Things that don’t matter
And when hard times come
May your heart be strong
May you always have a place
Where you belong
Know right from wrongMay you understand some things
aren't black and white
when to stand and fight
And when hard times come
May your heart be strong
When the road gets rough
May your feet stand/hold firm
May you trust yourself to feel
but forgive and heal
from each disappointmentMay your little heart stay kind
never become blind
to a friend in needI pray that I walk a path
all of my days
you’d be proud to followAnd when hard times come
May your heart be strong
When the road gets rough
May your feet stand firm
When the questions come
And the voices try to drown you out
May you be wise my little one -
Away we go on the dreamboat so sweet
Away across the water so deep
We’ll sail away ‘til the break of day for the dreamboat is so sweet
And when we get to fairyland
A fairy will take your little soft hand
And lead you over the golden sand
Away away in fairyland
And while we are in fairyland
You’ll fly with the elves
You’ll build in the sand
And play on a pipe in the fairy band
Away away in fairy land
And when you’ve had a lovely stay
You’ll get in the boat and sail away
You’ll sail away ‘til the break of day
In the dreamboat oh so sweet
And in the boat mummy will hold you so tight
And say little darling goodnight goodnight
Goodnight goodnight

Train is coming
Train is coming
Train is coming
Train is coming
I can hear it on the trackWhoop woo whoop woo whoop woo
Well the train is coming I can hear it on the track
Well the train is coming I can hear it on the track…Hear the clickety clack
…There’s a penny on the track
…Once it’s gone it’s never coming back -
Whadda say we sail away
in a tiny boat together
Over the sun under the moon
We can spy for treasureWhaddaya say
And we can be together
In any kind of weather
And I’ll be yours foreverHey Hey
Hey HeyWhaddaya say we run away
To a tiny town together
We’ll open a shop or a bakery
Making birthday cakes to measureWhaddaya say we saddle a cloud
And ride the wind together
Over the sea and the mountain tops
Like two birds of a feather -
Hey Shadow hey shadow
Well you follow me around
On the wall and on the ground all dayHey shadow hey shadow
Standing up or sitting down
We walk we run around and we playWhere do you go at night
Are you sleeping tight next to me
Where do you go at night
Do you see the dreams that I drea
Hey ShadowHey shadow hey shadow
Sometimes bright and sometimes dim
All depending on the light that we’re inHey shadow hey shadow
We’re connected by our toes
And everybody knows you’re with meHey shadow oooh ooh
Hey shadow oooh ooh -
This little piggy went to market
This little piggy stayed home
This little piggy had roast beef
And this little piggy had noneLi li diddly di di
Oh li li diddly dee
Li li diddly di di
Oh that’s alright with meMary quite contrary
How does your garden grow?
With silver bells and cockleshells
And pretty maids in a rowHey baa baa black sheep
Oh Have you any wool?
Yes sir yes sir yes i do
I’ve got three bags fullHey diddle diddle
cat and the fiddle
cow jumped over the moon
little dog laughed to see such fun
And dish ran away with spoonTwinkle twinkle little star
I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Diamond in the skyLittle miss muffet sat on her tuffet
Eating curds and whey
Along came a spider sat down beside her
She reached for the sprayI’ve got a hole in my pocket
I’ve got a hole in my jeans
I’ve got a hole in my pocket
Spend all day picking up my keys -
I’ve got one million millions
I’ve got one million dillions
I’ve got one dillion dillions
Here for loving youSure as the rain is wet
And elephants don't forget
Sure as the sun is warm
And thunder comes with thunderstorms
Sure as day follows night
And 2 wrongs don't make right
Is as sure I am
That I can’t stop won’t stop
Loving youSure as sugar from sugar cane
And rainbows coming after rain
Sure as a cat drinks milk
And silkworms keep on making silk - sure as
flowers and bees make honey
And an elbows are not that funny
Is as sure I am
That i can’t stop won’t stop loving you
Is as sure I am
That I can’t stop won’t stop loving youAnd if you’re wonderin’
‘Bout the love I’ve been squandering
I’ve still got one lillion dillions her for loving youWhen I’m old and grey
Put my teeth away
There’ll still be
One million dillions left for loving you -
Drink your milk
Eat your beans
Put on your shirt
Put on your jeansComb your hair
Brush your teeth
Shoes and socks
You know what to do
And make sure you tie your laces up‘cause laces are cheeky
and they can be sneaky
and may try to trip you upAnd when they get wetty
they turn to spaghetti
and tangle around your feetYou could be climbing the stairs
And they’ll say who cares
And trippety trip tripSo it’s best if you keep them neat
Then they can’t mess with your feet -
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Never let it fade away
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Save it for a rainy dayFor when your troubles start to multiplying
And they just might
It's easy to forget them without trying
With just a pocketful of starlightOoo ooo ooo ooo oooo oo oo
