Of all the words around the world they’re the most amazing that I’ve heard

It means hi, good health and well wishing - and they’re very welcoming

Monkey Bar Swinger
03:44

I’m the best MONKEY BAR SWINGER!
I’m the best MONKEY BAR SWINGER!
I’m the best, monkey bar swinger in the whole wide world
There’s nobody better than me, Not a single boy or girl
I like to do tricks, I like to do things like hanging upside down
And when I reach the other end, I like to go again, so I turn around
And when I turn around, there’s so many kids swinging in my way
How will I get across, when there’s no room to swing or sway
I will have to use my skills, to pass the obstacles, and reach the other side
Without my feet touching the ground, cause that might hurt my pride
So I start to swing across, grabbing each bar with my very strong hands
I said to the first kid I met, “don’t you know who I think I am”
Cause I’m the best monkey bar swinger in the whole wide world
There’s nobody better than me, not a single boy or girl
I swing to the left, I swing to the right
Using all my strength and my might
If I fall to the ground, I’ll dust myself down
And try again
Cause I’m the best, monkey bar swinger in the whole wide world
There’s nobody better than me, Not a single boy or girl
I like to do tricks, I like to do things like hanging upside down
And when I reach the other end, I like to go again, so I turn around
And when I turn around, there’s another bunch of kids swinging in my way
How will I get across, when there’s no room to swing or sway
I will have to use my skills, to pass the obstacles, and reach the other side
Without my feet touching the ground, cause that might make me cry
I start to swing across, grabbing each bar with my very strong hands
I said to the next kid I met, “don’t you know who I think I am”
Cause I’m the best monkey bar swinger in the whole wide world
There’s nobody better than me, not a single boy or girl
So I turn to my side, then I grip and I slide
Using all my strength and my might
If I fall to the ground, I’ll dust myself down
And try again
Cause I’m the best MONKEY BAR SWINGER!
I’m the best MONKEY BAR SWINGER!
I’m the best, monkey bar swinger in the whole wide world
There’s nobody better than me
There’s nobody better than me
There’s nobody better than me
Not a single boy or girl

The Lonely Book
04:38
|
|||
|
In a bustling little bookshop, on the other side of town
Is a shelf that’s full of Children’s books, where the kids all gather round
Books old and new, some big, some small, some thick and some quite thin
Others wide and others tall, to read or colour in
But one book always seems left out, It’s never picked at all
It’s covers drab, all tattered up, whatever did befall?
It seems the other books around, have quite a cheeky streak
They did what they could do to make, that lonely book look bleak
That very hungry caterpillar had nibbled round the edge
A donkey that was wonky buckerood it from the ledge
It got tangled up and spun around, caught in Charlottes sticky web
And the Tiger spilt his tea upon the front cover spread
Well it’s quite some competition, to be the readers choice
Trying to stand out amongst, such literary noise
Some books have sparkly covers, gold stickers to attract
The kids that swarm around the shelf, where all the books are stacked
The Lonely book would love to have a following of fans
But it seems that everyone these days, wants a Captain.. in underpants
The other books block it from view, turned it the wrong way round
And if they’re feeling really mean, they turn it upside down
Well, James he threw his giant peach and it splattered down the front
And Peter tried to eat it for his yummy rabbit lunch
Beneath that big, yet friendly giant it’ becoming quite a crunch
And Bob he soaked the pages through, oh what a naughty sponge
Now if that book could speak out loud, was able to relay
It’s feelings on this matter, It probably would say
“If someone had the gumption to pick me of the shelf
They’d probably realize I’m not to different from themself
A spine is running down my back to keep me standing tall
When I open up I make you smile and laugh and all
My outside might be dull and worn but my insides full of colour
Have you ever heard the saying don’t judge a book by its cover!”
A wicked witch, cast a spell, to curse that lonely book
There were slashes, tears and rips from the evil pirate hook
Alice smashed her looking glass while trying to take a look
And the bat car drove across the book while chasing all those crooks
And then one day to it’s surprise a little lad walked up
He saw the lonely book in shreds and looking down on luck
He picked it up, eyes where wide looking quite aghast
That no-one ever picked the book so he snapped it up quite fast
Inside the book were treasure maps of fortunes yet unfound
It showed the places where to dig a big hole in the ground
He raced away with book in hand to start his treasure quest
The ‘not so’ lonely book looked back to see the books bereft
In that bustling little bookshop, on the other side of town
Is a shelf that’s full of Children’s books, where the kids all gather round
So make sure that the next time, you look carefully around
Cause deep inside of everything, there’s a treasure to be found
Cause deep inside of everything, there’s a treasure to be found

Where to today? pondered Mittens
As he stretched a paw out of his bed
“With the key to the city
I am one lucky kitty”
What adventures lay ahead.
“Take a seat here”, said the barber
“I Don’t mind if I do.”
don’t use scissors…
They give him the shivers
"I really just need a shampoo!” (Thank you)
Mittens, the most adventurous cat in the world
He likes to investigate, just as much as licking his fur
He may turn up in your back yard, your car, or favourite chair
"So listen out carefully, for my familiar purrrr"
Mittens passed by a strange building
“Excuse me miss – where is this… please?”
You have arrived,
at the Beehive
“That’s odd, I can’t see any bees.”
Mittens tried out a Yoga Class
He’d never done it before
“But doing downward doggie
Is no move for a moggie”
So he ran straight out the door!!!
Mittens the cat, loves to be free
You may find him in your garden, going for a …. Erm “Excuse me!”
He may be quite social, but he also likes privacy
And he really loves annoying, that guy who owned Trade Me
"What are you doing in my garden mittens" - hehe
Mittens strolled in to the museum
For a dose of arts, culture and history
Got a BIG surprise,
when he saw with his eyes
“Hey, that’s a picture of me!”
Mittens waltzed in to the theatre
Now Showing CATS his favourite show
At the top of his lungs
Sings the songs to be sung
From a seat in the front row
Mittens the cat
Has become a celebrity
If you see him on your journey why not go and grab a selfie
Then put it on the internet, for all the world to see
Because knowing his location, keeps everyone happy – ”especially my owner”
You may find him at the waterfront, by a fountain or up a tree
In a tattoo parlour, or a café sipping tea
Maybe in a dance club, practising merengue
“Don’t worry I’m not lost, so come say hi to me”
Mittens the cat, likes a pat on the head
And seeing smiley faces from the kindness that he spreads
It’s almost time to head home, to his comfy bed
"But first I have an interview on Radio NZ
Yes first I have an interview on Radio NZ"

Okee Dokee Goatee
05:37
|
|||
|
Down on the farm, there was a little goat
So full of confidence, and he just loved to boast
The okee dokee goatee was his name, and showing off was his game
Said YES to everything, that he was asked
Would try almost anything, just for a laugh
The okee dokee goatee was his name, and showing off was his game
While walking round the farm one day he saw a herd of COWS
Tell us a joke they said, and make us laugh out loud
He said “okee dokee, it’s my specialty - I’m an expert in comedy”
What do you call someone who sits under a cow?
Pat!
That jokey okee dokee goatee walked of feeling proud
Having made that herd of cows, moo-laugh out aloud
“The okee dokee goatee is my name, and I will try anything!”
Nice Joke Okee – that was udderly amazing.
So on he went walking till he saw a flock of GEESE
Come and join us they said, we’re swimming in the creek
He said “okee dokee, I’ll give it my best - but I’ll have to put on my life vest”
Everybody put your life vests on
Floaty okee dokee goatee rode the rapids feeling great
And with his life vest firmly fitted, he was extra super safe
“The okee dokee goatee is my name, and I will try anything!”
Very sensible wearing a life vest Okee
So on he went walking when he saw a little DUCKLING
“Come, let’s make some music, dance and have a sing!”
He Said “Okee Dokee, but let me say this, they say I am a lot like Elvis”
You ain’t nothing but a hound goat – uh-hu-hu
Kara-okee dokee goatee is a pop star in the making
His singing is quite special and his hips were really shaking
“The okee dokee goatee is my name, and I will try anything!”
Now I think you get the point there isn’t much that’s Goat won’t do
He will try anything, just for you
But saying yes to everything, as you will see
Doesn’t always end perfectly
So…..
On he went walking when he saw a big fat PIG
“Come and share my meal” he said, “a mush of curried figs”
He said “okee dokee, but let me just note, that curried figs make me bloat”
The bloaty okee dokee goatee, had a belly full of gas
And the only way to empty was to do some stinky blasts
“The okee dokee goatee is my name, and I won’t try that food again!”
Spicy food doesn’t agree with okee…oh dear!
So on he went a walking when he came across a HORSE
“Come and have a race, she said, around my racing course”
He said “Okee Dokee, it sounds like a plan, I’m a former Olympian.”
Puff pant, puff pant…
Well that dopey Okee Dokee goatee quickly realized
That in the last few years he’s done little exercise
“The okee dokee goatee is my name, and.. my.. body.. is.. in.. a.. bit.. of.. pain!!!”
Time to get back to the gym Okee!
So on he went a walking when he saw the farmer’s DOG
“Come play my jumping game across this muddy bog”
He said “Okee dokee, I can do that!
Jumping far is what I’m good at!
Will he make it? Can he do it? Yes….oooh….Yes….Maybe….
Well that gloaty okee dokee goatee, leapt across the bog so wide
And he jumped and spun with pride when he reach the other side
“The okee dokee goatee is my name, and I will try…..err….hang on….I’m sliding back again!
SPLOSH, SPLAT, SPLOOSH – more like the mopey okee dokee goatee
Okee, you need a bath!
Down on the farm, there was a little goat
So full of confidence, he just loved to gloat
The okee dokee goatee was his name, and showing off was his game
Now Okee Dokee Goatee, would like this understood
That if you don’t try new stuff, you’ll never get any good
But don’t be concerned, I’ll just let you know
If one day he says, a great big….
NO!
