Kiwi Convoy Lyrics:
“Hey Lucy” “Hey Jenny”
“Are you thinking what I’m thinking?”
“You know I am!”
“Convoy!”
Itty Bitty Beats thought shall we start a convoy?
Invite lots of friends, to join us on the way.
We found a Kiwi in Kaitaia cruising in his combi
Kakapo in her cab, in the Coromandel
Shall we start a convoy
A really kiwi convoy
Can we cruise in convoy
In Aotearoa
An Albatross in Auckland in his Aston Martin
Told a Tui in Taupo traipsing in her truck
A Hedgehog in Hastings hooning on her Harley
A wagon full of weta in windy Wellington
Shall we start a convoy
A really Kiwi convoy
Can we cruise in convoy
In Aotearoa
All aboard the ferry:
We’ve got a Kiwi, a Kakapo, an Albatross
A Tui, a Hedgehog a wagon full of Weta
And Itty Bitty Beats
A Possum in Picton, posing in his Prius
Called a crayfish in Kaikoura in her Cadillac
Goats in Greymouth getting groovy in their Golf Cart
Told Cheeky chooks in Christchurch in their Caravan
Shall we start a convoy
A really Kiwi convoy
Can we cruise in convoy
In Aotearoa
Tuatara in a Tekapo trucking in her tractor
Led Lambs in Lake Wanaka in their Limousine
A deer driving his Ducati down in Dunedin
Bats bopping in Bluff on their Bicycles
Shall we start a convoy
A really Kiwi convoy
Can we cruise in convoy
In Aotearoa
Shall we start a convoy
A really Kiwi convoy
Can we cruise in convoy
In Aotearoa
(Ad lib) Aotearoa
Oo Oo Ao - Aotearoa
Shoo doo doo doo doo
“Hey Chris, the song’s finished”
“Ha ha ha”
“Did anyone pack the sandwiches?”
“Uuuuuuum?”
“Oh, Egg sandwiches?”
“Come On!”
“Delicious!”

Traffic lights
The light is green, green, green, green, green so we get to go x3
When its red you've got to stop!
But now it's green so we get to go!
The light is orange, orange, orange, orange so we stop if it's safe x3
When it's green we get to go go go
But it'll soon be red
The light is red, red, red, red, red so we’ve got to wait x3
When it’s green we get to go, go go!
But for now it’s red
The light is green, green, green, green, green so we get to go x3
When its red you've got to stop!
But it's green so we’re going, not red for stopping, green so we get to go!

Window Wipers
When the rain is pouring down
Splashing, sploshing, falling down
We can't see clearly through the windscreen
How will it ever get clean?
Window wipers
Swish swoosh swish swoosh
Window wipers
Swish swoosh swish swoosh
Window wipers
Swish swoosh swish swoosh
Window wipers
When a seagull drops a poo
Right in the middle of the window’s view
There’s a great big poo on the windscreen
How will it ever get clean?
Window wipers
Swish swoosh swish swoosh
Window wipers
Swish swoosh swish swoosh
Window wipers
Swish swoosh swish swoosh
Window wipers
Swish to your left swish to your right
Leave the windscreen clear and bright
Swish to the left, swish to the right
Be it the day or be the night x3
Swish Swoosh Swish Swoosh

I Spy... The Colour Green! Lyrics:
I spy with my little eye
Something that's the colour….. Green!
I spy with my little eye
Something that's the colour….. Green!
Green grass growing in the garden by the gate
Geckos grazing greedily on grapes
Gooey gooseberries and peas put on my plate
All these things are kakariki green!

Mix My Colours feat. Tumanako Tinirau
Ooh I like to mix my colours
Would you like to paint with me?
Whero and mā make māwhero
Red and white make pink mmmm
Red and white make pink
Ooh I like to mix my colours
Would you like to paint with me?
Kahurangi and kōwhai make kākāriki green mmmm
Blue and yellow make green
Ooh I like to mix my colours
Would you like to paint with me?
Whero and kōwhai make karaka
Red and yellow make orange
Red and yellow make orange
(Instrumental)
Ooh I like to mix my colours
Would you like to paint with me?
Kahurangi and whero make waiporoporo mmm
Blue and red make purple
Ooh I like to mix my colours
Would you like to paint with me?
Mix them all together and what do you see?
It's parauri, parāone, you get brown
Parauri, parāone, you get brown
Then darker still is pango, black
You can call it mangu too

Seasons
Raumati the season is Summer
Slip! Slop! Slap! Put on your sunhat
And head to the beach
The weather’s hot and dry
Let’s build a sandcastle
Head home for a BBQ
Raumati, Summer
Seasons change
Each change brings new weather
Seasons change
Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter
Ngahuru, the season is Autumn
Leaves fall from the trees
Put on your gumboots
And stomp on the leaves
The weather’s cooler
Feel the wind blowing
Ngahuru, Autumn
Seasons change
Each change brings new weather
Seasons change
Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter
Hotoke, the season is Winter
It’s wet and it’s cold
Put on your jacket
Your gloves and your scarf
Rug up warm
The wind is chilly
Cuddle up by the fire
Hotoke, Winter
Seasons change
Each change brings new weather
Seasons change
Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter
Koanga, the season is Spring
Brings new life
Put on your t-shirt
Play at the park
The weather’s warmer
Green grass is growing
Flowers in bloom
Koanga, Spring
Seasons change
Each change brings new weather
Seasons change
Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter

In The Summer
(One, two, three, four)
Got my surfboard in the back
and I'm heading on out of town
(heading on out, out of this town)
It's a hot Summer’s day
and I'm going for a drive around
(drive around, drive around)
Heading to the ocean
Surfing in the waves
Build a sand castle, ‘cos there's always time to play
In the Summer!
Got my picnic in the chilly bin,
my lemonade packed on ice
(lemonade packed on ice)
I'll share it with my friends
‘cos they’re all really nice
(and my friends are really nice)
Heading for a picnic
Try to find some shade
Play some backyard cricket, there's always time to play
In the Summer!
(Instrumental)
It's a hot Summer’s day
so I wanna cool down in the surf
(wanna cool down, down in the surf)
And I’m a cool cat
so I put my sunscreen on first
(sunscreen on first)
Headed to the beach
Got the sun on my face...
Throw around a frisby, have a three legged race
In the summer!
Got my surfboard in the back
and I'm heading on out of town
(heading on out of this town)
It's a hot Summer’s day and I'm going for a drive around
(drive around, drive around)
Heading to the ocean
Surfing in the waves
Down at the beach
I got the sun on my face
In the ocean surfing through the waves
In the Summer

I Spy on the Road
I spy with my little eye
Something driving down the road
I Spy with my little eye
Something driving down the road
A V8 Holden towing a caravan
A boat on a trailer pulled by a combi van
A police car and a fire engine
All these things are driving down the road

Emergency Services Song Lyrics:
“There’s a siren Constable Bryan. Panic! Panic!”
“No, Bob, it’s the start of the ‘Emergency Services Song’, why don’t we have a sing along with them as well, eh?”
“Oh Join in”
I'm large and red
I have a great big ladder
I'm made to help put out a fire
I have flashing lights and a siren too
I am a fire engine
I transport people who help those in need
They're called firefighters
They are heroes indeed
If something's on fire
Get out… Stay out!
And call for a fire engine
I'm a hospital on wheels
With a great big door
I help move people who are ill or sore
I have flashing lights and a siren too
I am an ambulance
I transport people who help those in need
They're called paramedics
They are heroes indeed
If someone's hurt or unwell
And really in need
Call for an ambulance
“Remember kids, and Bobby, in an emergency dial 111.”
“Oh yeah and remember to stay calm”
“You’ve got to speak slowly and clearly”
“And the operator will ask you where you are and your phone number if you know it”
“Remember to answer all of the questions that the operator asks you, they’re there to help!”
“How long do you stay on the line for?”
“Well you’ve got to stay on the line with the operator until they tell you to hang up, Bobby, so don’t hang up that phone. Got it?”
“Got it!”
“Ka pai!”
I am a special car
I come in many colours
I'm very different from most others
I have flashing lights and a siren too
I am a police car
I transport people who help those in need
They're called the police
They are heroes indeed
They help stop crime and keep the peace
If you need help
Call the police!
“If you need help dial 111”
“Good work Bob, you got it! High five!”

Two Trucks
Two trucks travelling down that same old track
One named Tom and one called Tim
Travelling back to back
Talking to each other having a good old yackity yack
Two trucks travelling down that same old track
Toot, toot, toot on their horn is how they say hello
Wave to them as you pass by then off, off, off you go
Toot, toot, toot to say goodbye, it was so nice to see you
Toot toot toot, off we go, see you soon
Oh there’s Sarah the Cement Mixer - hi!
Ooh and Chris the compost collector
Ooh and Rory the red rubbish truck - hi Rory!
And Perry the Petrol Tanker - hi there!
Oh Taylor the tractor, hi guys - toot your horns!
Two trucks travelling down that same old track
One named Tom and one called Tim
Travelling back to back
Talking to each other having a good old yackity yack
Two trucks travelling down that same old track
Toot, toot, toot on their horn is how they say hello
Wave to them as you pass by then off, off, off you go
Toot, toot, toot to say goodbye, it was so nice to see you
Toot, toot, toot, off we go, see you soon
And then we’re seeing Tom travelling down the track
And he’s saying hi to Tim with his toot, toot, toot on his horn
Ooh Murray the motorbike, are you meant to be here?

Four Fluffy Clouds (Feat. Petite Music Box)
Four fluffy clouds… oooo
Four fluffy clouds… oooo
Four fluffy clouds
Floating in the sky
Nimbus started to rain
As the others floated by
Goodbye Nimbus
He really had to fly
As the other clouds floated by
Three fluffy clouds… oooo
Three fluffy clouds… oooo
Three fluffy clouds
Floating in the sky
Cirrus whisped like a feather
As the others floated by
Goodbye Cirrus
He really had to fly
As the other clouds floated by
Two Fluffy Clouds… oooo
Two Fluffy Clouds… oooo
Two fluffy clouds
Floating in the sky
Stratus drew a line
As the others floated by
Goodbye Stratus
He really had to fly
As the other clouds floated by
One Fluffy Cloud… oooo
One Fluffy Cloud… oooo
One fluffy cloud
Floating in the sky
Cumulus puffed like a pillow
As the others floated by
Goodbye Cumulus
He really had to fly
As the other clouds floated by
No Fluffy Clouds… oooo
No Fluffy Clouds… oooo
There were no fluffy clouds… oooo
Four Fluffy Clouds… oooo
Four Fluffy Clouds… oooo (Four Fluffy Clouds)
Four Fluffy Clouds… oooo

Matimati
With my matimati I can point at things
With my matimati strum my guitar strings
On my matimati wear golden rings
About my matimati I sing
On my hands (ringaringa)
On my feet (waewae takahi)
Are my fingers and toes (matimati)
On my hands (matimati)
On my feet (matimati)
Tell everyone so they know
Snap your fingers
Rise up on your tippie toes
Pinky promise that you won't go and pick your nose

Solar System Trip
Mercury is closest to the sun
And has a surface like our moon
No air, no atmosphere
No wind, no water so we can’t live there
Venus is hotter than the rest
Slightly smaller than our Earth
With clouds that send down
Acid rain, ouchy ouch!
Come and fly with me
In our rocket ship
Let’s all learn a bit
On our Solar System trip
Come and fly with me
Let’s orbit the sun
Shooting like a comet
Having tonnes of fun
Our planet Earth is third in line
The only one that can host life
Plants and all mankind
Animals of every type
Mars is the planet caked in dust
Coloured red, it looks like rust
It's prone to violent storms
With big volcanoes like ‘Olympus Mons’
Come and fly with me
In our rocket ship
Let’s all learn a bit
On our Solar System trip
Come and fly with me
Let’s orbit the sun
Shooting like a comet
Having tonnes of fun
Jupiter the biggest in its size
Could fit 1300 Earths inside
A beauty spot that's red
Raging storms overhead
Saturn, is second for its size
Has huge rings made of ice
It has a rocky core
Hula hooping with it storms
Come and fly with me
In our rocket ship
Let’s all learn a bit
On our Solar System trip
Come and fly with me
Let’s orbit the sun
Shooting like a comet
Having tonnes of fun
Uranus spins lying on its side
Like a barrel spinning ‘round
Slow to orbit the sun
84 years… But who's counting?
Neptune… It's weather’s really wild
A water planet cloaked with clouds
It's cold, it's big, it's blue
It's the furthest away from me and you
Come and fly with me
In our rocket ship
Let’s all learn a bit
On our Solar System trip
Come and fly with me
Let’s orbit the sun
Shooting like a comet
Having tonnes of fun (so much fun)
Tonnes of fun
Tonnes of fun
(Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune!)

"Right, let's get this thing started!.. Haul the anchor... Hoist the sail!
Turn up the stereo,...Fasten your seatbelts...
Press the big red button... No, the other big red button! (Grumbles)"
"Oh it's hard to dance on this pegleg, I lost it to a space Taniwha you know!
All aboard Space Cadets.. A one... two, one, two, three, Hey!"
In the depths of outer space
Where the black holes gurgle and slurp
Lives a captain of the shooting stars
He likes to roar and burp "Oooo pardon me"
Captain’s hat is full of feathers
He talks in a growly old drawl "Who? What? I don't draaawl!"
His foot is covered in green blisters
They squelch and burst whenever he walks "Ow, ooo, oo that hurts!"
His peg leg has big splinters
He's covered In black whiskers
He smells of Weetbix gone rank "Oh, it's not that bad!"
Aboard his old space station
He gives great consideration
To who shall walk the plank!
The pirate captain keeps his treasure
Safe in a meteor bank "Hooray!"
Guarding all his riches
Is his faithful cat, ‘First Matey Frank’. "Oh there ye are Frank.. Good boy!"
He feeds on marmite sandwiches
And cans of Watties baked beans "Better out, than in"
His breath smells like a gym sock
Yet his beard is quite pristine "Some might say it gleams"
His peg leg has big splinters
He's covered in black whiskers
He smells of Weetbix gone rank "Oh dear"
Aboard his old space station
He gives great consideration
To who shall walk the plank!
"I love this tune... but ye know... a space pirates favourtie kind of tune?... Neptunes!"
"Actually I have a favourite note too... High C!"
“Ahoy there me hearties!
Let me play Ye some space rock and roll”
The captain spins his records
On his space pirate radio show
Me peg leg has five splinters
I'm covered in black whiskers
I smells of Weetbix gone rank
Aboard me old space station
I gives great consideration
To who shall walk the plank!
A Yo ho ho… A yo ho ho
I songs with great elation!
A yo ho ho… A yo ho ho
Aboard me old space station
A Yo ho ho… A yo ho hi
I swerved to miss a comet
A yo ho ho… A yo ho ho
Oh dear, it made me vomit!
Bleughhh!
