3. Going To The City Zoo

Words & Music © Fran Avni

We're going on a trip to the city zoo,
To visit all the animals there,
Some have fur and some have feathers,
Some have skin and some have hair.
No matter what the weather,
They all live together,
They all live together in the city zoo.

Oh we're off to the zoo in a great big bus,
To see the happy hippy hippopotamus,
In the summer heat he tries to keep cool,
In the blue blue water at the bottom of the pool,
He's laughing and splashing and having fun,
And he lives with his friends in the city zoo.

In the monkey house gorillas orangutans and apes,
Spit pits from green and purple grapes,
The chimpanzee high up in the tree,
Is pointing and laughing at everything he sees,
He's climbing and throwing banana skins,
From the top of the tree in the city zoo.

We're going on a trip to the city zoo,
To visit all the animals there,
Some have fur and some have feathers,
Some have skin and some have hair,
No matter what the weather,
They all live together,
They all live together in the city zoo.
in the city zoo.
in the city zoo.

4. Row Row Row Your Boat

Trad;/new lyrics © Fran Avni

Row row row your boats gently down the stream,
Merrily merrily merrily merrily life is but a dream,
Tow tow tow tow your floats gently down the stream,
Sew sew sew sew your coats all along the seam,
Grow grow grow your oats mix them in with cream,
Throw throw throw throw your grouts into a pot of steam,
Show show show show your goats show them to the team.

5. Purple Plum

Words & Music © Fran Avni

O once I had a little plum, it wasn't very big,
It wasn't red or green or blue, or pink like my pet pig,
It wasn't round or flat or square, my perfect purple plum,
A present for my old pal Paul, who popped it on his thumb,
Pppppppppp,

Peas, potatoes, parsley in a pot,
Pop a pair of peppers in and serve it piping hot.
Peaches, pears, persimmons, prunes And pomegranates too,
Popcorn and pistachios and pizza pie for two - 2x

7. Face To Face

Words & Music © Fran Avni

I have two eyes, two eyebrows too,
Two ears, one nose, one chin,
Two lips one mouth and lots of teeth,
You'll see them when I grin.
I need my lips and tongue and teeth,
I need my cheeks and lungs to speak,
To whisper, talk, sing, cry or shout.
I take air in - I breathe air out.
And when I smile I stretch my lips,
In the middle of my face,
From ear to ear and cheek to cheek,
And everything's in place.
I reach my arms above my head,
I wave my hands about,
I bend my neck and I wiggle my hips,
And stick my elbows out.
I touch my knees and then my ankles,
And tap, tap, tap my toes,
And then I stand straight up again,
And wrinkle up my nose.

8. Dandelions and Daffodils

Words & Music © Fran Avni

Dandelions daffodils,
Daisies and delphiniums,
Dancing daily growing gaily,
In my window garden.

Dandelions daffodils,

Dancing daily growing gaily,
In my window garden.
Dandelions daffodils,
Daisies and delphiniums,
Dancing daily growing gaily
Outside in my garden

11. Going On Vacation

Words & Music © Fran Avni

We're taking a vacation,
We're going on a trip,
Not in a car or train or bus,
Not even in a ship.

We're flying in an airplane,
Far across the sea,
My mom my dad my sister Sue,
My brother Bob and me.

We're flying way up high,
We sit right near the wings,
Looking out at clouds-
What are those shiny things?

The forests and the mountains,
Look like tiny growing plants,
And down below the houses and the cars,
Look just like ants.

We're flying high as up we go,
It's really hard to stand,
We'll be so very happy,
When we get back down to land. 2x

Lions lunge and leopards leap

Hear hyenas howl and laugh.

13. Slither Like A Snake

Words & Music © Fran Avni

Slither like a snake,
Wriggle like an eel,
Hop like a froggie,
How does it feel?

Quack like a duck,
Honk like a goose,
Crow like a rooster,
Bellow like a moose.

Jump like a kangaroo,
Splutter like a whale,
Flutter like a butterfly,
Crawl like a snail.

Stretch like a tall giraffe,
Buzz like a bee,
Climb like a monkey,
Up into a tree.

And if you were an animal,
What would you be?
Yes if you were an animal,
What would you be?

Way down deep, Deep inside the ocean,
Nothing's ever still, Something's always in motion.

19. When Dinosaurs Lived On The Earth

When dinosaurs lived on the earth,
Two hundred million years ago,
Some were fast and some were slow,
Two hundred million years ago.

Some ate plants and some ate meat,
They chewed it all with giant jaws,
They walked along on giant feet,
With giant paws and giant claws.

They had long necks and scaly tails,
They were much bigger than three whales,
Some had spikes and some had horns,
That made them look like unicorns.

When dinosaurs lived on the earth,
Two hundred million years ago,
They laid their eggs upon the sand,
Two hundred million years ago.

The dinosaurs lived on the earth,
Two hundred million years ago,
We'll never ever hear them roar -
'Cause they don't live here anymore.

Fireflies flit and flicker,

End: Bees buzz, flies fly,
Butterflies float and flutter by,

There's a sprinkling of twinkling stars in the sky,
Stars in the sky, stars in the sky,
There's a sprinkling of twinkling stars in the sky,
A sprinkling of twinkling stars,

Stretch up and reach out to the stars in the sky,
Stars in the sky, stars in the sky,
Stretch up and reach out to the stars in the sky,
The sprinkling of twinkling stars,

They wink and they blink way up high in the sky.
High in the sky, high in the sky.
They wink and they blink way up high in the sky.
The sprinkling of twinkling stars

There's a sprinkling of twinkling stars in the sky
Stars in the sky, stars in the sky
There's a sprinkling of twinkling stars in the sky
A sprinkling of twinkling stars

My fruit bowl's a rainbow, right here in my hands.

Fabulous fresh fruit from far-off lands,
My fruit bowl's a rainbow, right here in my hands.

Melons, Kumquats, pineapples or grapes,
So many colours and so many shapes,

Long or short or thick or thin,
Some come with peel and some come with skin.

Some taste sour, tart or sweet,
Fruits are my favourite treat to eat.

Fabulous fresh fruit from near or far lands,
My fruit bowl's a rainbow, Right here in my hands.
