show time
Get up in the morning, out of bed
[ x x ] - Cause it’s show time
Pack my things, then off to school
[ x x ] - Cause it’s show time
Gotta get ready, gotta do my best
[ x x ] - Cause it’s show time
Gonna put myself to the test
[ x x ] - I’m gonna do fine
Learn the patterns - feel the groove
Learn the motions - every move
Feel the rhythm - feel the beat
From the top of your head - down to your feet
Practice hard, gotta get it right
[ x x ] - Cause it’s show time
Review, rehearse, then do it again
[ x x ] - We’re gonna shine
In the spotlight here we go
[ x x ] – Cause it’s show time
When we make it work, altogether
[ x x ] - It’s so sublime!
Learn the patterns - feel the groove…....
(2nd verse again)
Confidence and full of pride
We can do it side by side
Learn to hold your head up high
Come along now, don’t be shy
Learn the patterns - feel the groove
Learn the motions - every move
Feel the rhythm - feel the beat
From the top of your head - down to your feet
(1st verse again)
child of the universe
(chorus A)
I am a child of the universe
And I follow my destiny
I have come to inherit the earth
Cherishing the legacy
Caring for this gift to me
I have come to inherit … the earth
(chorus B)
I’m a child of the universe
And I follow my destiny
I have come to inherit the earth
For this time bestowed on me
With your wisdom guiding me
I have come to inherit …..
(Verse 1)
The lakes and the land
And the soft shoreline sand
And the rocky mountains high and so steep
And the oceans so deep …. (to chorus A)
(Verse 2)
The birds flying high
And the clouds in the sky
All the flowers and the forests and trees
All the fish in the seas …. (to chorus B)
(Verse 3)
The sunlight, the air
Living things in our care
All the precious seeds we plant and we sow
All the food that we grow
All the rivers and streams
All your hopes, all your dreams
All the magic in the songs that you sing
All the love that you bring
Everyone connected to the universe
Everyone connected to each other
I walk in beauty - I walk in harmony
My spirit journey - Nothing but love I see
(Solo child)
I am a child of the universe
And I follow my destiny
I have come to inherit the earth

buskers & clowns
Hey here come the buskers & clowns
Buskers & clowns
Hey, they're playing all over town
Buskers & clowns
I see a clown with his hat upside down
Wearing a cucumber tie
He makes me giggle, he's joking around
With every passerby
Look at the mime doing pantomime
Look at her face painted white
Making you see what she's pretending to be
She's such an incredible sight
Look at the juggler, he's right over there
Twirling four balls in the air
Six burning torches with an apple and pear
While he stands on a two-legged chair
Hey here come the buskers & clowns
Buskers & clowns
cajun & zydeco
“Do the ‘two-step’, follow me
It’s as easy as it can be
It goes, 1, 2, 1 2 3 - 1, 2, 1 2 3 “
Well my friend Jake said, ‘don’t you know
‘Bout Cajun music and Zydeco?
Down Louisiana people love to go
Just to hear that Cajun & Zydeco
Scrape the washboard, so much fun
Squeeze that old accordion
Play it high, you can play it low
Sweet Cajun music and the snappy, happy Zydeco’
Well my friend Tara said, ‘come with me
To the Cajun / Zydeco jamboree
Inside, outside, anywhere you go
Musicians playin’ the songs we know [chorus]
Down by the bayou, cypress swamp
Do the ‘crawfish’, and the ‘alligator stomp’
Glide and slide all around the ground
To the Cajun waltz or the Zydeco sound
Clap your hands and stomp your feet
To the joyful rhythm and the bouncy beat
Play it high, you can play it low
Sweet Cajun music and the
Snappy, happy Zydeco
Cajun fiddle and Zydeco drum
Squeeze that old accordion
Play it high, you can play it low
Cajun music and Zydeco
Play it on a guitar, play it on a bass
Sure to put a smile on your face
The triangle and the old ‘frottoir’
‘Allons danser’ till late ‘ce soir’
Well Jake and Tara said, ‘don’t you know
‘Bout Cajun music and Zydeco?
Down Louisiana people love to go
Just to hear that Cajun & Zydeco - [chorus]
crest of the wave
There’s a job to be done, there’s work to do
Work for me and you
If we pull together we can get things done
We can see it through
Sister, brother helping each other
Work to make it work
It’s a never ending story
Every day we start anew
If we all think globally
Act a little bit more locally
Steer this boat of ‘humanity’
Fill your heart with love and be brave
All the things we need to address
Give a little more, take a little less
When we rise above the feeling of helplessness
We can sail on the crest of the wave
The crest of the wave
Gotta seize the day in our work and play
Join this circle dance
Gotta take care of this planet now
No matter what the circumstance
Gotta spread the word, stand up and be heard
We need to educate
With our hearts in place we will live in grace
You know it’s never too late
poetry
Read the words in a poem
Or sing the lyrics of a song
They might stay with you a little while
Or last a whole life long
Cause words can touch your feelings
And words, they can inspire
They can move you and empower you
And lift your spirit higher
With all the rhythm and rhyme
Poetry you’re a friend of mine
And with your mystery sublime
Poetry you are a true friend of mine
Poetry through all the ages of time
Poetry through all the ages of time
Some words they paint a picture
Some words create a mood
Some words can make you laugh with joy
And change an attitude
Some words can feel like sunshine
Some words can feel like rain
They can fill you with deep longing
Or heal an aching pain
There’s a poem in every dew drop
In every grain of sand
In the laughter of the children
In the palm of a baby’s hand
A poem, like an echo
Of a time that is long gone
A poem like a shining light
On the road you’re travelling on
choo choo
Riding on an old-time ‘choo choo’
Riding on an old-time train
Riding ‘cross the open prairie
Riding ‘cross the open plane
All around the mountain side
Then riding homeward bound again
Bring your bags and bring your lunch box
Bring your ticket to the gate
This train is gonna leave the station
Right on time, so don’t be late
Hear that old steam whistle blow
Hurry up, no time to wait
Choo choo, woo woo
Choo choo, woo woo
Huff and puff, huff and puff
Choo choo, woo woo
Clickety clack down the railroad track
Choo choo, woo woo
All aboard this old-time ‘choo choo’
All aboard this old-time train
We’re going on a special journey
Far better than an aeroplane
See the world gliding by
With your nose against the window pane
See the world gliding by
Riding on this ‘choo choo’ train
See the world gliding by
Riding on this ‘choo choo’ train
gato negro
She’s the queen of the neighbourhood
She gets respect like a black cat should
But with some critters she’s in cahoots
Cause she’s no ordinary ‘puss in boots’
Gato negro, gato negro, chat noir, black cat
She’s a fussy feline full of pride
She waves her tail from side to side
Sometimes she’s friendly, sometimes shy
Or like a stranger she’ll walk on by
Gato negro, gato negro, chat noir, black cat
Sometimes she’s lazy, sometimes she’s tired
Sometimes she’s crazy and kooky and wired
She sneaks around, she’s got soft paws
But better stay away when she shows her claws
Gato negro, gato negro, chat noir, black cat
Sometimes she’ll lie up on the ledge
And hang her paws down over the edge
Or maybe she’ll jump on your lap
To take her afternoon cat nap
Gato negro, gato negro, chat noir, black cat
She likes it when you brush her fur
Just listen to that kitty purr
And if you want to make her grin
Just tickle underneath her chin
Gato negro, gato negro, chat noir, black cat
sunrise in the jungle
Deep in the jungle
At the break of dawn
Life is stirring
Hear the jungle yawn
Another sunrise
Lighting up the skies
All creatures shaking
The slumber from their eyes
Sunrise in the jungle, shimmer through the trees
Sunrise in the jungle, feel the morning breeze
Sunrise in the jungle, warming up the air
Sunrise in the jungle, life is everywhere
The peacock, the panther, the crocodile
The spiders, the bugs so versatile
The cheetah, the boar, the funny baboon
The elephant down by the old lagoon
The sloth, the tapir, the manatee
The tiger, gorilla, the chimpanzee
The lizard, the snake, the toad and frog
The turtle, iguana, who sit near the bog
The catfish, the dogfish, the butterfly
The puff bird and heron soaring up high
The zebra, gazelle, the wildebeest
All looking to find their favourite feast [break down]
The toucan, the parrot, the pretty macaw
The leopard, the lion licking his paw
The jaguar, the monkeys way up in the trees
Hyena, impala, the okapi
The hippo, the rhino, the antelope
Wandering down the jungle slope
Flamingo, the ostrich, the pelican
The jaguar, the warthog, orangutan
bouncing ball
Bouncy rubber ball
My bouncing ball
Big or small
