Singing and signing

3 Crows sat upon a wall

Three crows sat upon a wall,
Sat upon a wall,
Sat upon a wall.
Three crows sat upon a wall
On a cold and frosty morning.

The first crow couldn’t fly at all,
Couldn’t fly at all,
Couldn’t fly at all.
The first crow couldn’t fly at all
On a cold and frosty morning.
​
The second crow fell and broke his jaw,
Fell and broke his jaw,
Fell and broke his jaw.
The second crow fell and broke his jaw
On a cold and frosty morning.

The third crow was crying for his ma,
Calling for his ma,
Calling for his ma.
The third crow was crying for his ma
On a cold and frosty morning.

The fourth crow wasn’t there at all,
Wasn’t there at all,
Wasn’t there at all.
The fourth crow wasn’t there at all
On a cold and frosty morning.

'Cause there were
​​Three crows sat upon a wall,
Sat upon a wall,
Sat upon a wall.
Three crows sat upon a wall
On a cold and frosty morning.

An Austrian went Yodelling

An old Austrian went yodelling,
on a mountain top high,
when along came a Avalanche
interrupting his cry.

Yodelaydedee Yodelaydedee
Yodelaydedee Yodelaydedee
Yodelaydedee Yodelaydedee
Yodelaydedee Yo
​
An old Austrian went yodelling,
on a mountain top high,
when along came a Grizzly Bear
interrupting his cry.

Yodelaydedee Yodelaydedee
Yodelaydedee Yodelaydedee
Yodelaydedee Yodelaydedee
Yodelaydedee Yo
​
An old Austrian went yodelling,
on a mountain top high,
when along came a St Bernard Dog
interrupting his cry.

Yodelaydedee Yodelaydedee
Yodelaydedee Yodelaydedee
Yodelaydedee Yodelaydedee
Yodelaydedee Yo

​An old Austrian went yodelling,
on a mountain top high,
when along came a Pretty Maid
interrupting his cry.

Yodelaydedee Yodelaydedee
Yodelaydedee Yodelaydedee
Yodelaydedee Yodelaydedee
Yodelaydedee Yo
​
An old Austrian went yodelling,
on a mountain top high,
when along came a her father
interrupting his cry.

Pirate Ship

When I was one, I My life had begun
The day I went to sea.
I climbed aboard a pirate ship
And the Captain said to me:
We're going This way, that way
Forward and back Over the Irish sea
A bottle of rum To fill my tum
That's the life for me

When I was two, I buckled my shoe,
The day I went to sea.
I climbed aboard a pirate ship
And the Captain said to me:
We're going This way, that way
Forward and back Over the Irish sea
A bottle of rum To fill my tum
That's the life for me

​When I was three, I grazed my knee,
The day I went to sea.
I climbed aboard a pirate ship
And the Captain said to me:
‘We're going This way, that way
Forward and back Over the Irish sea
A bottle of rum To fill my tum
That's the life for me

When I was four, I knocked on the door
The day I went to sea.
I climbed aboard a pirate ship
And the Captain said to me:
‘We're going This way, that way
Forward and back Over the Irish sea
A bottle of rum To fill my tum
That's the life for me

When I was five, I was barely alive
The day I went to sea.
I climbed aboard a pirate ship
And the Captain said to me:
We're going This way, that way
Forward and back Over the Irish sea
A bottle of rum To fill my tum
That's the life for me

Blue Banana

Have you ever seen a blue banana 
blue banana, blue banana
Have you ever seen a blue banana
​in this world?

Have you ever seen a blue banana 
blue banana, blue banana
Have you ever seen a blue banana
​in this world?

Have you stood on your head?
Have you rolled out of bed?
Have you kicked a football
at your Grandad's shed?

Have you climbed a tree?
Have you grazed your knee?
Have you had fish and chips
​For your tea, for your tea, for you tea?

But....
​Have you ever seen a blue banana 
blue banana, blue banana
Have you ever seen a blue banana
​in this world?

Have you ever seen a blue banana 
blue banana, blue banana
Have you ever seen a blue banana
​in this world?
(repeat)

Sunshine Mountain

I'm climbing up Sunshine Mountain   (climbing actions)
Where the little breezes blow  (make blowing noises)
I'm climbing up Sunshine Mountain  (climbing actions)
Faces all a glow  (Fan face with hands)
I'm turning my back sorrow  (turn around)
Reaching for the sky   (Stretch arms up)
I'm climbing up Sunshine Mountain   (climbing actions)
You and I, You and I
Who?
You and I

(Repeat)

Beautiful Rain

When the sun says goodnight to the mountains
I am dreaming of the sun saying goodnight
​When the sun says goodnight to the mountains
I am dreaming of the sun saying goodnight

When the sun says goodnight
The birds in the trees
Are singing sweet for the night
When the sun says goodnight to the mountains
I am dreaming of the sun saying goodnight

Rain Rain Rain Beautiful Rain
​Rain Rain Rain Beautiful Rain

Oh come never come Oh come never come
Oh come to me beautiful rain
Oh come never come Oh come never come
Oh come to me beautiful rain

Yellow Bird

Yellow bird, up high in banana tree
Yellow bird, you sit all alone like me
Did your lady friend leave your nest again?
That is very sad, makes me feel so bad
You can fly away, in the sky away
You're more lucky than me

Wish that I were a yellow bird
I'd fly away with you
But I am not a yellow bird
So here I sit, nothin' else I can do

Yellow bird, up high in banana tree
Yellow bird, you sit all alone like me
Did your lady friend leave your nest again?
That is very sad, makes me feel so bad
You can fly away, in the sky away
You're more lucky me
