The Octopus Song

LYRICS - The Octopus Song
One day as I was walking
Briskly by the sea
I saw a baby octopus
Looking up at me
I smiled and said "Good day, my friend!
What brings you up this way?"
That’s when that baby octopus
Sat up so it could say ...
Thibp!
Is the sound it made just then
Thibp! Thibp!
Is the sound it made again
Thibp! Thibp! Thibp!
Is what that baby said
Thibp! Thibp! Thibp! Thibp!
And now that’s in my head
When the octopus had finished
I did a little bow saying,
“Thank you for the lovely talk,
I must be going now.”
That’s when the baby’s mummy
Swam out of the sea
She hugged her little baby
Then she turned and said to me ...
Thibp!
Is the sound it made just then
Thibp! Thibp!
Is the sound it made again
Thibp! Thibp! Thibp!
Is what that mummy said
Thibp! Thibp! Thibp! Thibp!
And now that’s in my head
When both those friendly octopi
Said all they’d had to say
I waved goodbye and started
Back along my merry way
But just as I was leaving
And this I must discuss
I turned around because they’d found
The daddy octopus!
Thibp!
Is the sound it made just then
Thibp! Thibp!
Is the sound it made again
Thibp! Thibp! Thibp!
Is what that daddy said
Thibp! Thibp! Thibp! Thibp!
And now that’s in my head
So I said ...
Thibp!
That’s the sound I made just then
Thibp! Thibp!
That’s the sound I made again
Thibp! Thibp! Thibp!
Is what I’d gone and said
Thibp! Thibp! Thibp! Thibp!
And now that’s in your head!
Thibp!

LYRICS - Yummy Colours
Yummy colours are so tasty
Here are some I like to eat
Orange, peach, and blueberry
Red cabbage and silverbeet
Yummy colours are so tasty
If I could I’d eat the lot
Pink grapefruit, plum, and cherry
Lime and lemon and apricot
Let’s eat!
CHORUS
Om num num num num num num num!
Om num num num num num num num!
Om num num num num num num!
Yummy colours in my tum!
Yummy colours are so tasty
Here are some I like to munch
Nectarine, tangerine, and raspberry
Red and green grapes by the bunch
Red pepper, green pepper, orange pepper, yellow pepper
Red tomato, green tomato, orange tomato, yellow tomato
Red apple, green apple, golden apple, black apple —
Black apple?
Google that one if it puts you in a flapple
Let’s eat!
CHORUS
Yummy colours are so tasty
I have even more for you
Blackberry, ginger, and white currant
Yellow banana, green banana, red banana, too
Yummy colours are so tasty
But there’s one I’ll never eat!
I am sure that you’ll agree this
Yummy colour’s not so sweet
It’s a
SMELLY ... STINKY ...
YUCKY ... ICKY ...
SQUISHY ... SQUASHY ...
Mouldy blue orange!
Let’s eat!
CHORUS x2
Om num num num num num num num!
Om num num num num num num num!
Om num num num num num num!
Yummy colours ...
Yummy colours in my tum

LYRICS - The Zero Zoo
CHORUS
Let’s all go to The Zero Zoo!
The Zero Zoo!
The Zero Zoo!
Follow me and let’s go see
NONE of every animal!
We’re your friendly Zookeepers
Welcome and hello! (Hello!)
Sadly all our animals
Escaped some time ago (Boohoo)
That is why we call this place
The famous Zero Zoo!
There’s none of every animal
On display for you!
And just in case you’re thinking
That we Zookeepers look funny —
I am not a crocodile ...
And I am not a bunny! Heehee!
I’m no tiger ...
I’m no bear ...
I’m no zebra ...
I’m no deer ...
And I may look like an elephant
But that is quite irrelevant!
CHORUS
If you’re hoping you will spot
A funny little monkey
You will see not four, not three
Not two, not one, but none — see?
Can you spy our lions?
They’re never ones to hide
That’s because they’re missing
And there’s simply none inside!
CHORUS
This is where we used to keep
Our tortoises each day
And this is where snakes were kept
Before they snuck away - hiss!
Come and take a photo of our
Friendly polar bear!
She won’t smile and wave at you
Because I’m not in there!
I mean she! She! She! Not me! I...I...I’ve never met her!
Shhhh!
This is our nocturnal house
For creatures of the night
Our vanished bats and kiwi birds
Are truly out of sight!
Please don't feed the animals
We feed them twice a day!
Thankfully they don’t eat much
Because they’ve gone away!
So ...
CHORUS
Oh
...
Let’s all go to The Zero Zoo!
The Zero Zoo!
The Zero Zoo!
Follow me and let’s go see NONE ...
... but maybe some ...
... OF EVERY ANIMAL!

LYRICS - Questions
This is song for children everywhere
It’s full of questions with answers
They may like to hear, like -
Is a hotdog a sandwich? Is coffee a soup?
And how is a bunch of grapes not called a group?
Questions with answers to find
This is song for children everywhere
It’s full of questions with answers
They may like to hear, like -
How long’s a moment? Can butterflies see stars?
And how long would driving to space take in cars?
Is fog just a cloud that has fallen asleep?
And what is the favourite music of sheep?
Questions with answers to find
Can fish live trees?
Does honey make bees?
Do chickens have knees?
Do chickens have knees?
Do chickens have knees?
Well, do they?
This is song for children everywhere
It’s full of questions with answers
They may like to hear, like -
Are turtles magnetic? Do rocks all have names?
Do camouflaged creatures play hide and seek games?
Are toasters just roasters? Can bats chat to dogs?
And what is the top running speed of hedgehogs?
How old are raindrops? Do jellyfish feel brave?
Is sea water greeting us with every wave?
Questions with answers to find
This is song for children everywhere
It’s full of questions with answers
They may like to hear, like -
Who’s the Prime Minister of the moon?
And how come the dinosaurs left us so soon?
Finally just before I say goodbye
The ultimate question is ...
... why?
Why, why, why, why ...
Just because
