My Silver Balloon
(Album One)

We’ve Got The Sunshine

(Name) get up it’s the morning
We’ve started a brand new day
(Name) can you hear them calling
The birds are out to play

‘Cos we’ve got the sunshine
And we all feel fine
Hip hip hip hooray

(Name) get up it’s the morning
We’ve got lots to do
(Name) another day is dawning
And it brings fun for you

(Name) come on stop the yawning
Join in and we’ll laugh all day
‘Cos we’ve got the sunshine
And we all feel fine
Hip hip hip hooray

(Name) wipe the sleep away
Get dressed and then brush your teeth
(Name) let’s go out and play
Who knows what we’ll do today

(Name) another day is dawning
Every minute is a little holiday
‘Cos we’ve got the sunshine
And we all feel fine

Hip hip hip hooray
(Name) get up it’s the morning
We’ve started a brand new day
(Name) can you hear them calling
The birds are out to play

‘Cos we’ve got the sunshine
And we all feel fine
Hip hip hip hooray

(Name) wipe the sleep away
Get dressed and then brush your teeth
(Name) let’s go out and play
Who knows what we’ll do today

(Name) another day is dawning
Every minute is a little holiday
‘Cos we’ve got the sunshine
And we all feel fine
Hip hip hip hooray

‘Cos we’ve got the sunshine
And we all feel fine
Hip hip hip hooray

‘Cos we’ve got the sunshine
And we all feel fine
Hip hip hip hooray


Jungle Rumble

Hey (Name)

Can you hear what I hear?
Let’s go see what’s rumbling in the jungle

Come with me (Name), deep into the trees
To the magical world of the animals
The plants, birds and the bees

(Name) what’s that above your head
Swinging from vine to vine
It’s our old friend the monkey
And he’s having a good old time

Swing it
Come on and make some monkey sounds
Now roar like a tiger
Hey (Name), look over there

There’s Tiggy the tiger,
You’ll really like her
She’s the coolest cat in the land
So put some ants in your pants, (Name) let’s dance
Take his rolling rock’n’rolling band

There’s a rumbling in the jungle
And it’s coming from the jungle band
The monkeys are beating on the drums
And the snakes make the cymbal sound

Hippos play the big fat bass
And the tigers play the horns
The lion is singing his mighty song
And he’s asking you to sing along

Hey (Name), look there’s Heavy the Hippo
Splashing into that pool
Man that guy can play the bass
He’s real cool

Now Heavy the Hippo, he likes to let go

By wallowing in the mud
He rolls around and makes a sound
Like a really big hippo should

So (Name), let’s watch them splash and play
Like we do in the swimming pool
But Heavy the Hippo, he lives in there
It’s even where he goes to school

Hey (Name), watch out, what’s that slithering
Around your feet?
Oh, it’s okay, it’s Sammy the Snake
Another buddy for you to meet

Now Sammy the Snake
Likes to slither and slide
She makes a lovely hissing sound
So (Name) let’s just wiggle with her
And hiss really really loud

There’s a rumbling in the jungle
And it’s coming from the jungle band
The monkeys are beating on the drums
And the snakes make the cymbal sounds

The Hippos play the big fat bass
The Tigers play the horns
The Lion is singing his mighty song
And he’s asking you to sing along

Here’s the Lion, hey (Name)
I’m not lying – I’m not even trying
Coz this guy here’s the King

Well it’s a one for the honey and two for the beast
Come on (Name), sing along with me
I’m the King of the jungle got a lot to say
Man oh man my band can play

There’s a rumbling in the jungle
And it’s coming from the jungle band
The monkeys are beating on the drums
And the snakes make the cymbal sound

The Hippos play the big fat bass
The Tigers play the horns
The Lion is singing his mighty song
And he’s asking you to sing along

Oh come on jump and jive with me
To this rock and roll jungle song
Somebody stop me!

Doogie The Barndancing Dog

Good Evening ladies and gentlemen
I’m Doogie the barn-dancing dog
And I want you to come along with me
And do all the actions
To my silly dance

Now (Name) can you grab your nose
Tickle your tummy and down we go
Scratch your knees and get down low
Wiggle your feet and around we go

Now put your hands upon your head
Now (Name) jump up on one leg
Up and down and turn around
My name’s Doogie the dancing hound

(Name) wobble to and fro
Side to side, go fast and slow
Now turn around, count 1-2-3
(Name), all fall down with me

Now wave your arms up in the air
(Name) act like you don’t care
Dance with Doogie the dancing hound
And bark with me to the barn-dance sound

Ladies and Gentlemen
Girlies and Boys
Here is a man who can make a silly noise
My name is Bobby Silly And I play the giraffe
My legs go willy-nilly
But I hope you won’t laugh

My hair has gone all curly
And I’m needing a bath
Have you heard my instrument
Go fetch me my giraffe

Wooah, Bobby Silly
Now come on everybody
Get down and do the dance

(Name) can you grab your nose
Tickle your tummy and down we go
  Scratch your knees and get down low
Wiggle your feet and around we go

Put your hands up on your head
Now (Name) jump up on one leg
Up and down and turn around
Dance with Doogie the dancing hound

Now wave your arms up in the air
(Name) act like you don’t care
Dance with Doogie the dancing hound
And bark with me to the barn dance sound

Spaceman’s Lullaby

All the clouds are made of pillows
So the Spaceman said
From the moon they look so fluffy
A place to rest my head

I need to go to sleep
Said the tired little spaceman
Standing on the moon
How can I get to those lovely fluffy pillows
Please let me get there soon

(Name) looked up and saw the tired spaceman
Way up on the moon
(Name) sang out to the little spaceman
Don’t worry I will get you home soon

Grab onto a star, cried (Name) to the Spaceman
We’ll take you to your bed
We’ll drop you off on the fluffy wuffy pillows
Then you can rest your head

The tiny tired spaceman
Hopped onto a fast star
And flew down to the cloud
“Thank you (Name)” whispered the little spaceman
As he drifted off without another sound

Now up amongst the fluffy little pillows
The clouds up in the sky
There’s a peaceful sleeping little spaceman
Snoozing as the stars sail by

All the clouds are made of pillows
So the spaceman said
From the moon they look so fluffy
A place to rest my head
