In the mud
03:11

Get your Welly boots on. It’s time to do some stomping.
Get your boots and find a field that’s just been dug.
There’s a time for being clean.
Like when you’re going to meet the queen.
And there’s a time for jumping up and down in the mud.
In the mud (In the mud!) [x4]
Jump, jump, jump, jump, jump
In the mud. (repeat)
From the moment when you wake you’ve got the feeling.
‘Till you’re tucked up like a sleepy snugly bug.
You are dreaming of the time,
When you find that sticky slime,
And you can jump, jump, jump, jump, jump in the mud.
Jump, jump, jump …
In the mud (In the mud!) [x4]
Jump, jump, jump, jump, jump
In the mud. (repeat)

Raindroppin'
02:15
|

|
You put the palm of your hands together.
Then point them high up in the air.
Then you wiggle and you giggle like a piggy in the middle
Then you flop down everywhere.
You’re raindroppin’ [x7]
It’s the wettest dance in the whole wide world.
Now you cuddle everyone together.
And you squeeze into a crowd.
Now you wiggle again like it’s starting to rain
From a great big fluffy cloud
You’re raindroppin’ [x7]
It’s the wettest dance in the whole wide world.
Put your arms straight out in front now.
Wiggle your fingers up and down.
And you tickle the air like you just don’t care
As you’re dancing through the town.
You’re raindroppin’ [x7]
It’s the wettest dance in the whole wide world. [x3]

My name is Johnny
02:45

My name is Johnny. I like to sing for you.
Sometimes I sha-la-la. Sometimes I shoo-be-doo-be-doo.
I sing so smooth and sweet like honey. My name is Johnny.
My name is Johnny. I love to play the guitar.
I like to make up songs while I am wishing on a star.
I’d tell you a joke if I thought it was funny. My name is Johnny.
I love rock’n’roll. I love blues and soul and I sing very loud in the car.
And sometimes I think after I’ve had a little drink, I could’ve been a disco star …
My name is Johnny. Come sing along with me.
We’ve gotta make this song as good as it can be.
If I was a bee, I’d make you some honey.
My name is Johnny.
[instr. Verse]
We play all over this land to our Raindrop fans,
From the north to the south, east and west.
We get treated like the Beatles, but of all those crowds of people,
You abso-positively are the best!
My name is Johnny. I’ve got my Raindrop friends.
And I’ll keep on singing until this song ends.
I like my yolk a little bit runny. My name is Johnny.
If it’s cloudy or if it’s sunny. My name is Johnny.
I sing so smooth and sweet like honey. My name is Johnny.

So come on, count, count, count, count on me.

Tooth Fairy
01:59

Leave your old tooth for the tooth fairy, the tooth fairy, the tooth fairy.
Leave your old tooth for the tooth fairy,
And I’ll swap it for a nice new coin.
I’ll swap it for a nice new coin.
Leave your old teeth under the pillow …
So it’s easy to find in the dark...
So it’s easy to find in the dark...
If your head’s in the way I’m picking it up…
Yes, I’m fairy, fairy strong
Yes, I’m fairy, fairy strong
Oh, I’m the tooth fairy. I’m the real tooth fairy.
All you other tooth fairies are just being lairy.
Oh, I’m the tooth fairy. I’m the real tooth fairy.
And I want your tooth.
I’m quick and I’m small so you’ll never, ever see me …
And I wait ‘till you’re asleep.
And I wait ‘till you’re asleep.
Don’t sleep with your head under the pillow,….
Or you’ll wake up with a mouth full of coins.
Yes, you’ll wake up with a mouth full of coins.
Oh, I’m the tooth fairy. I’m the real tooth fairy.
And I want your tooth.

I'm dreaming vegetables
02:12

I’m dreaming vegetables. I’m counting peas.
I’m driving a cucumber up and down my street.
I’m kissing broccoli. Dancing with swedes.
I’m dreaming vegetables in my sleep
I’m dreaming vegetables. I’m seeing fruits.
I’m watching a banana tree walk on its roots.
I’m hearing gooseberries sing to a peach.
There’s fruit and vegetables in all my dreams.
Pea, pea, carrot, carrot, pea
Why are they talking to me?
Pea, pea, carrot, carrot, pea
What are they trying to say?
Peach, peach, cherry, cherry, peach
It’s so confusing
Peach, peach, cherry, cherry, peach
I hope I’m still asleep
I’m sleeping in an apricot. I’m polishing a pear
I’m running with a runner bean to the fun fair
I’m laughing with onions and aubergines
There’s fruit and vegetables in all my dreams
Pea, pea, carrot, carrot, pea ….
Pea, pea, carrot, carrot, pea ….
Peach, peach, cherry, cherry, peach ….
Peach, peach, cherry, cherry, peach ….
Tomato, Potato, Avacodo, oh, oh
Tomato, Potato, Avacodo
Tomato, Potato, Avacodo, oh, oh
Tomato, Potato, Avacodo
I’m dreaming vegetables. I’m counting peas
I’m driving a cucumber up and down my street
I’m kissing broccoli. Dancing with swedes
I’m dreaming vegetables in my sleep

What’s the colour? What’s the colour?
What’s the colour? What’s the colour, the colour of rock’n’roll?
Pink and black. Pink and black.
Just like the shirt sitting on my back.
Pink and black. Pink and black.
Like a messed up bumble bee buzzing down the track.
Pink like a petal and black like coal.
That’s the colour of rock’n’roll.
Pink and black. Pink and black.
Like a nose on little baby vampire bat.
Pink and black. Pink and black.
Like a big fat piggy with a midnight snack.
Pink like a petal and black like coal.
That’s the colour of rock’n’roll.
[Vocals & handclaps]
What’s the colour? What’s the colour?
What’s the colour? What’s the colour, the colour of rock’n’roll?

I am a robot
03:35

My name is Dexi. How do you do?
I am a robot. So what are you?
I think in numbers, in noughts and ones.
How much can I lift? One hundred tonnes!
I can pop popcorn out of my nose.
I can blow bubbles out of my toes.
I use my toe-nails to cut the grass.
I can shoot fireworks out of my …
Are you listening? Do you understand?
I can pick up a car with one hand.
Kling! Klang! Metal Man.
Body like a baked bean can.
I’m a walking talking robot.
Klank! Klink! I can think.
Never need to eat or drink.
I’m a walking talking robot.
I’m a bendy friendly,
Polite, uptight walking talking robot.
If it is raining then I squeak
My voice is boring when I speak
When you are sleepy and go to bed
I play computer games inside my head
[chorus = Kling! Klang! etc.]
Ro, Ro, Robot, rolling down the road.
If you see my nose turn red, then I might explode. Bang!
Tickle my back and tickle my knees
Tickle my nose then I’ll sneeze
[chorus = Kling! Klang! etc.]

My thumb pie
01:58

My thumb pie. My thumb pie.
I suck it every morning. I suck it every night.
My fingers make a ball. I push my thumb up to the sky.
I don’t know what I’d do without my thumb pie.
My thumb pie. My thumb pie.
When I’m tired or when I’m hungry.
When I think I’m gonna cry.
Got a tongue that’s working hard and a thumb that’s never dry.
I don’t know what I’d do without my thumb pie.
Sometimes it tastes like strawberry.
Banana, peach or plum.
I love that chocolate flavour,
When I’m sucking on my thumb.
So let’s all join together.
Come along now. Don’t be shy
You’re never alone when you’ve got your own my thumb pie.
You’re never alone now you’ve got your own my thumb pie.

Toothbrush and Toothpaste in my mouth.
Scrubbing up and down from the north to the south.
Scrubbing side to side from the East to the West.
Which toothpaste do you like the best?
Red. Orange. Green. Blue.
It is not YOU!

Matt. Matt . Matt keeps the beat.
Playing the drums with his hands and feet.
Rockin’ out a rhythm fast and slow.
Aaaaahhhh! Go! Matt! Go!
The snare drum cracks with a tight, tight skin.
Rat-a-tat-tat to get you marching.
Rumble, rumble goes the tom tom.
Like thunder before the rain comes.
Matt. Matt . Matt keeps the beat.
Playing the drums with his hands and feet.
Rockin’ out a rhythm fast and slow.
Aaaaahhhh! Go! Matt! Go!
The big bass drum’s got a Boom! Boom! sound
So loud so heavy it sits on the ground.
The cymbals tick! tick! ring! and splash!
You can choose from the hi-hats, ride or crash.
Matt. Matt . Matt keeps the beat.
Playing the drums with his hands and feet.
Rockin’ out a rhythm fast and slow.
Aaaaahhhh! Go! Matt! Go!

New Shoes Blues
03:50
|

|
I woke up this morning so excited I could hardly speak.
I said I woke up this morning so excited I could hardly speak.
My mama was taking me shopping to get some new shoes on my feet.
I knew which ones I wanted coz I’d seen them from outside.
But my mother she had other plans, so now I feel like crying.
I’ve got those new shoes blues,
I wanna choose those shoes myself.
I’ve got those new shoes blues,
My mamma’s choosing something else.
A woman came and measured me. She pressed the slide down on my toes.
Then I grabbed the shoes I wanted and I would not let them go.
Then I saw my mama walking down the boring school shoes row.
I wanted shoes with wheels on or a dolly in the heel.
But my mother just ignored me so I’ll tell you how I feel.
I’ve got those new shoes blues,
I wanna choose those shoes myself.
I’ve got those new shoes blues,
My mamma won’t get them off the shelf
I really like those pink ones with the sparkles and the bows.
But my mom held up black lace-ups and said “Can we try on those?”
I’ve got those new shoes blues,
I wanna choose those shoes myself.
I’ve got those new shoes blues,
My mamma’s choosing something else.

Animals in Danger
03:53
|

If the jungle was your playground and the forest was your home
And the meadows and the mountains were where you loved to roam,
If you woke up in the morning and all of this were gone,
How would you feel?
If your friends were all around you and your neighbours were there too
Every member of your family was living close to you
If you woke up in the morning all alone and in a zoo,
How would you feel?
Danger. Danger. Animals in danger.
From the big to the small.
And we stand or fall together.
‘Cause this world needs us all.
This world is like a jigsaw so no pieces must be lost.
When a species is no longer every creature pays the cost.
There are birds and bees and bison,
Pigs and pandas we may never see again.
Danger. Danger. Animals in danger.
From the big to the small.
And we stand or fall together.
‘Cause this world needs us all.
We all need a place to live. We all need a place to grow.
We need food and air and water to survive.
So we can walk and swim and fly on the land, in sea and sky
And stay alive.
Danger. Danger. Animals in danger.
From the big to the small.
And we stand or fall together.
‘Cause this world needs us all.
Danger. Danger. Animals in danger.
From the big to the small.
And we stand or fall together.
‘Cause this world needs us all.
