Chicken Little walking Along a country way, When something bumped her on the head That sunny day. "Oh dear! I think the sky is falling down! I think the sky is falling down!" "Now," said Chicken Little, "Now what shall I do? The sky will fall, crushing all, I know that must be true! So I must run and tell the King, King, King, Yes, I must run and tell the King!" Henny Penny walking Along a country way, Met Chicken Little, And she said, "Hello! Good day! Dear Chicken, may I walk with you, you, you? Dear Chicken, may I walk with you?" "Come," said Chicken Little, "I've sad news to bring, The sky will fall, thumping all, And I must tell the King! So, Henny, you may walk with me, me, me, So, Henny, you may walk with me." Ducky Daddles walking Along a country way, Met up with Chick and Henny And he said, "Good day! Dear Chicken, may I walk with you, you, you? Dear Chicken, may I walk with you?"

"Come," said Foxy Loxy, "I'll show you the way." He led them then To his den, Or so the stories say. But here's what really happened On that day: They turned and ran the other way!

My little pal goes twitching twitching She loves to watch our feathered friends You call her in to have some food But she stays outside with the sparrows' brood She thinks the TV's awfully dull She prefers to listen to the laughing gull My little pal goes twitching twitching She loves to watch our feathered friends You ask her if she'll come and play But she's with the doves, which coo all day Then off she runs to her favourite hide To glimpse the herons by the riverside My little pal goes twitching twitching She loves to watch our feathered friends My little pal goes twitching twitching She loves to watch our feathered friends You ask her in to watch cartoons But she prefers to stay where the bittern booooooooms She says, "no wait! there's the song of the plover There's so much more in this world to discover." My little pal goes twitching twitching She loves to watch our feathered friends Then one day she found a crested parakeet And she never came back inside to eat I think she's still out there in the hide Listening to the robins, egrets, kookookookookaburras, nightingales, eagles, tawny owls, and don't forget the common eiderduck! My little pal goes twitching twitching She loves to watch our feathered friends

Three little pigs one sunny day Saw a wolf and they ran away They ran to the home of the chimpanzee But he wouldn't let them have the key They ran to the home of the friendly cow But she couldn't let them in just now They ran to the home of the great wild boar By now their trotters were getting sore The wild boar told them to run and hide So they ran and ran and they squealed and sighed And they ran to the horse and they begged some straw But the horse shooed them off so they ran some more Then the pigs they reached the farmer's house And were welcomed in by the tenant mouse The mouse she said to the pigs all three "I'll help you if you'll help me" You've got a wolf and I've got a cat "We need to collaborate on that" So they hatched a plot to rid themselves Of all the cats and all the wolves But as they sat and hatched their plan They forgot to post a lookout man So mouse and pigs I regret to say Were no more seen. ----'Cos they ran away!

Three blind mice Three blind mice – See how they run See how they run They all run after the farmer's wife Who cut off their tails with a carving knife You never saw such a thing in your life as three blind mice!

Mary had a little lamb, its fleece was black as soot, and everywhere that Mary went, his sooty foot he put Mary had a rattlesnake, with music in its tail, it followed Mary everywhere and made her friends quite pale. Mary had a small raccoon, which was so very cute, but everywhere that Mary ate, it tried to wash her fruit Mary had a squirrel then, which ate through wires and cable, when Mary turned her TV on, she found she wasn't able. So Mary said she'd have a wolf, a loyal savage beast, it kept her safe like Romulus, didn't scare her in the least. Then Mary's choice fell on a moose, which brayed and smelt quite strong, and everywhere that Mary went her friends declared "So long!" Mary had a tyrannosaur, she grew it from a cell, but when she took the beast to school the teachers left as well So Mary is alone right now, no humans venture near her, but Mary is quite happy With squirrel, moose, wolf, tyrannosaur, racoon, rattlesnake and, oh yes, a little lamb to cheer her

The Elephant 02:03
The elephant has a wrinkly skin This nose is thick and his tail is thin Never forget the elephant and he won't forget you you you The elephant has a very loud song His tail is small and his nose is long Never forget the elephant and he won't forget you you you The elephant lives in a herd His tail is cute but his nose absurd Never forget the elephant and he won't forget you you you The elephant is brave they say His tail will swish and his nose will spray Never forget the elephant and he won't forget you you you The elephant has a sense of fun His tail stands still but his nose takes your bun Never forget the elephant and he won't forget you you you The elephant has floppy ears And he's been around for years and years So never forget the elephant and he won't forget you you you
