Putt Putt 03:00
I’m gonna buy me a motor boat And we’ll go putt putt over the ocean I’m gonna buy me a motor boat And we’ll go putt putt, putt putt I don’t want a big commotion And like all the fishes know There is a lot of ocean And I don’t care where we go I’m gonna buy me a motor boat And we’ll go putt putt over the ocean I’m gonna buy me a motor boat And we’ll go putt putt, putt putt When I am old, old & grey I’m going to chop my helicopter And I’ll zoom my aeroplane But I’m still young, young these days I’m going to put back to the back of my head These daydreams and instead I’m gonna buy me a motor boat And we’ll go putt putt over the ocean I’m gonna buy me a motor boat And we’ll go putt putt Set this boat in motion I’m gonna set this boat in motion Putt putt, putt putt

Every night I’ve been dreaming about sounds Every night I’m as quiet as a mouse (Mouse) Some colours go together And a circle has no end And the stars will shine forever And you are my best friend You are my best friend Every night I’ve been dreaming about houses (Houses) Every night I’m as quiet as the mouses (Mice!) Some colours go together And a circle has no end And the stars will shine forever And you are my best friend You are my best friend One… One, two, three four Oh, fishes Fish! Oh, bicycle Bike! Oh, living Life! Oh, mouses Mice! Every night I dream that I can fly Every night I fly across the sky Some colours go together And a circle has no end And the world will turn forever And you are my best friend You are my best friend Oh, fishes Fish! Oh, bicycle Bike! Oh, living Life! Oh, mouses Mice!

The Seasons 02:53
In the winter The days are shorter The sun goes to bed early in the cold sky And by the fire, we warm our toes And go to bed early in our warm clothes In the springtime In the sunshine All the flowers grow so high! And I like to ride my bike Past the roses in the park These are the seasons as I see them They cannot see me They don’t have eyes! These are the seasons as I see them We’re in seasons all the time In the summer I could hum for half an hour Hum, hum, hum, hum Like a bee does over flowers Going buzz buzz past our house These are the seasons as I see them They cannot see me They don’t have eyes! These are the seasons as I see them We’re in seasons all the time In the autumn All the leaves turn golden colours Like a fire burning so bright Like a satellite up in space, past the sky These are the seasons as I see them They cannot see me They don’t have eyes! These are the seasons as I see them Autumn, winter, spring and summertime Autumn, winter, spring and summertime

Deep down in a hole in the ground I found something so shiny and round Big blue sky, did you know I could bounce so high? Higher than the sparrows fly On a wing and a pray Like the aeroplanes, flying over my house again Faster than the fastest train And they go so far away I have a deck of cards! And I’m in love with the two of hearts I dug a hole with the ace of spades I found a bone and some clay And an old golf ball That I hit around with my four of clubs (Fore!) All the way to the baseball field Which they call a diamond So shiny Deep down in a hole in the ground I found something so shiny and round Diamonds are so shiny! Deep down in a hole in the ground I found something so shiny and round Diamonds are so shiny!

First you put the water on the garden Then the garden grows And did you know that a cloud is made of raindrops? And when it’s cold they turn to snow? Then the snow it falls on the mountain Where all the people ski And in the summertime it melts into the river And it all flows out to sea See all the world! Where people talk And people learn That the sun tends to burn And turns the world First you put the water on the garden Then the garden grows And did you know that a cloud is made of raindrops? And when it’s cold they turn to snow? Then the snow it falls on the mountain Where all the people ski And in the summertime it melts into the river And it all flows out to… See all the world! Where people talk And people learn That the sun tends to burn And turns the world

There is a frypan There is a saucepan And I like to make eggs There is a tin can There is a spaceman And he walks on his legs Singing this song All day long Kicking my feet to the chorus We’ll always be young If you can, then I can We have sung, we all sang And we said what we said I have two hands A bird has a wingspan And we think with our heads Singing this song All day long Kicking my feet the chorus We’ll always be young
