CARCD03 TRACK 1 / 29
GIRLS AND BOYS COME OUT TO PLAY

Girls and boys come out to play

The moon is shining as bright as day!
Leave your supper and leave your sleep
And join your playfellows in the street

Come with a whoop and come with a call

Come with a good will or not at all
Up the ladder and down the wall
A penny loaf will serve us all
You find milk and I'll find flour
And we'll have a pudding in half an hour

(repeat)

OH WHAT A SILLY SONG

Doctor Foster went to Gloucester

In a shower of rain
He stepped in a puddle right up to his middle
And never went there again!

Oh what a silly song
Oh what a silly song
Oh what a silly song
Sing another do

Georgie Porgy pudding and pie

Kissed the girls and made them cry
When the boys came out to play
Georgie Porgy ran away

(chorus)

Little Jack Horner sat in his corner

Eating his Christmas pie
He put in his thumb and pulled out a plum
And said, “What a good boy am I”

(chorus)

The Grand Old Duke of York

He had ten thousand men
He marched them up to the top of the hill
And marched them down again

(chorus)

Jack Sprat could eat no fat

His wife could eat no lean
And so between the two of them
They licked the platter clean

(chorus - repeat)

THERE WAS A CROOKED MAN

And it caught a crooked mouse
And they all lived together
In a crooked little house

POP GOES THE WEASEL

Half a pound of tuppenny rice

And half a pound of treacle
That’s the way the money goes
Pop goes the weasel

Up and down the City Road
In and of out the Eagle
That’s the way the money goes
Pop goes the weasel

A penny for a spool of thread

A penny for a needle
That’s the way the money goes
Pop goes the weasel

(chorus)

Half a pound of tuppenny rice

And half a pound of treacle
That’s the way the money goes
Pop goes the weasel

LAST NIGHT AS I LAY SLEEPING

Last night as I lay sleeping

I dreamt that I was sailing
To the Isle of Man in a frying pan
And back again by morning

Last night as I lay sleeping

I dreamt that I was flying
To the Isle of Wight on a big red kite
And back again by morning

Last night as I lay sleeping

I dreamt that I was floating
To the Isle of Skye on an apple pie
And back again by morning
To the Isle of Skye on an apple pie
And back again by morning

VROOM! VROOM!

First thing in the morning I jump right out of bed

I brush my teeth and have a wash and toast some lovely bread
I put on all my work clothes, pick up my bunch of keys
Go out into the farmyard, I'm ready if you please

(chorus)
So, vroom vroom give me some room
My tractor's coming through
Turn the field for planting
Oats and barley too
My engine’s running nicely
The weather's keeping dry
So, vroom vroom give me some room
My tractor's coming by

The front wheels steer a straight line the big ones give us power
The cab is fully waterproof protects me from a shower
The birds are singing loudly, the sun is in the sky
It's a lovely day for ploughing that no one can deny

(chorus - repeat)

IN MY WELLIES

Wellies can be red or black or blue

And when I put them on there’s so much I can do
Play in the garden, play in the park
And this is what you’ll hear me say

(chorus)
"In my wellies, in my wellies
I can splash in the puddles in my wellies
In my wellies, in my wellies
I can splash in the puddles all day
I can splash in the puddles all day"

Playing in my garden is lots of fun

So many games to play in the sun
But when it rains is best of all
And this is what you’ll hear me say

(chorus)

With my wellies on my feet I can go anywhere

Squelch through the mud without any cares
Walk through streams or play in the snow
And this is what you’ll hear me say

(chorus - repeat)

ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT

Row, row, row your boat

Gently down the stream

Life is but a dream

Row, row, row, your boat

Gently down the stream
If you see a crocodile
Don’t forget to scream!

I DO LIKE TO BE BESIDE THE SEASIDE

Oh, I do like to be beside the seaside

Oh, I do like to be beside the sea
I do like to stroll upon the prom, prom, prom
Where the brass bands play tiddley-om pom pom

So just let me be beside the seaside

I’ll be beside myself with glee
And there's lots of girls besides
I should like to be beside
Beside the seaside, beside the sea!

(repeat)

And there's lots of girls besides

I should like to be beside
Beside the seaside, beside the sea!

GOING BANANAS

(chorus)
You’re going bananas – do you think it’s true?
You’re going bananas – please tell me what to do
You’re going bananas – but let me say to you
By the time you’ve sung this song you’ll be bananas too!

When I woke up this morning it was the afternoon

I saw the sun was shining but in fact it was the moon
I went out in the garden and my dog began to shout
“You look a right banana with your pyjamas inside out!”

(chorus)

For breakfast I have dinner, for lunch I have my tea

I like to wear gloves on my feet, a scarf around my knee
I took my dog out for a walk and all the people said
“ You look a right banana with that saucepan on your head!”

(chorus)

I have rice pudding on my cornflakes, jelly on my toast

But ketchup in my orange juice is what I love the most
I made a custard sandwich and gave some to our cat
It said, “ You must think I’m bananas if you think I’m eating that!”

(chorus )

You’re going bananas

You’re going bananas
You’re going bananas – but let me say to you
By the time you’ve sung this song you’ll be bananas too!

WIND YOUR BOBBIN UP

Wind your bobbin up, wind your bobbin up

Pull, pull, clap, clap, clap
Wind your bobbin up, wind your bobbin up

Point to the ceiling, point to the floor

Point to the window, point to the door
Clap your hands together one, two, three
Put your hands upon your knee

I’M A LITTLE PIG

Oink, oink, I’m a little pig
My tail is curly and my nose is big
Oink, oink, I’m a little pig
My tail is curly and my nose is big
Oink, oink, I’m a little pig
My tail is curly and my nose is big
And if you ask me how I know?
Because the farmer told me so

I love to get all muddy

And sleep in a pigsty
And this is how I answer
When people ask me why...

(chorus)

I’ve got a big fat tummy

I love to eat all day
And if you want a reason
Then this is what I say...

MR MOO COW

Well I live on a farm I got a nice cosy barn

To keep me from the wind and the snow
But I like to get out to be around and about
I’m the type who goes with the flow
But if you’re missing my face
Let me tell you the place you’ve got to go

(chorus)
Moo, moo, moo, I’m Mr Moo Cow
Mooing in the fields all day
Moo, moo, moo, I’m Mr Moo Cow
Mooing in the fields all day
In the rain or the sun
You’ll find me having some fun
Mooing in the fields all day

Well all the animals know I’m the star of the show
The one they all want to be around
Well they come over for tea just to be here with me
'Cos I am where the fun can be found
But if you’re missing my face
Let me tell you the place you’ve got to go

(chorus - repeat)

In the rain or the sun

You’ll find me having some fun
Mooing in the fields all day

In the rain or the sun

SMELLY!

Something smells quite funny around here

On the farm these odours do appear
If you don't like farm perfume
You should grab a spade and broom
Or maybe you should just steer very clear

(chorus)
Smelly, smelly
There's something very smelly at the top of the yard
Smelly, smelly
There's something very smelly be on your guard

There's no doubt that there's a mighty pong (pong pong pong pong)
I don't know quite where it's coming from (pong pong pong pong)
If you don't like country air I should keep away from there
’Cos that whiffs been whiffing all day long (pong pong pong pong)

(chorus)

Hold your nose if you just had your tea

Think of lovely smells like potpourri
'Cos that's an awful stench we all agree!

(pong pong etc)

THE DAY I WENT TO SEA

When I was one, I’d just begun, the day I went to sea
I jumped aboard a pirate ship, and the captain said to me

(chorus)
"I’m going this way, that way, forwards, backwards
Over the Irish Sea
A bottle of rum to fill my tum, and that’s the life for me!"

When I was two, I buckled my shoe, the day I went to sea

I jumped aboard a pirate ship, and the captain said to me

(chorus)

When I was three, I climbed a tree, the day I went to sea

I jumped aboard a pirate ship, and the captain said to me

(chorus)

When I was four, I knocked on the door, the day I went to sea
I jumped aboard a pirate ship, and the captain said to me

When I was five, I learned to dive, the day I went to sea

I jumped aboard a pirate ship, and the captain said to me
