I'm a worm, I'm a worm, I'm a wriggly, wriggly worm
I'm a worm and I squirm, I'm a wriggly wriggly worm
And I work and toil in the dirt and soil
I'm a wriggly, wriggly, wriggly, wriggly worm
I'm an eel, I'm an eel, I'm a wriggly, wriggly eel
I'm an eel, no big deal, I'm a wriggly wriggly eel
In the mud and slime's where I spend my time
I'm a wriggly, wriggly, wriggly, wriggly eel
I'm a snake, I'm a snake, I'm a wriggly, wriggly snake
I'm a snake, no mistake, I'm a wriggly, wriggly snake
And I hiss and glide in the grass outside
I'm a wriggly, wriggly, wriggly, wriggly snake

I'm a bird and I fly in the sky
Flappy Flappy, Flappy Flappy
I'm a bird and I fly in the sky
Flappy Flappy, Flappy Flappy
I'm a bird and I fly in the sky
I like to watch the world go by
I'm a bird and I fly in the sky
Fly, Fly, Fly
I mention other things that fly in the song, but, to be honest, you can include anything. Sometimes I ask for requests from kids themselves when I do song workshops. Some of the responses have included rockets, witches, houses, dogs, ... whatever they can imagine flying! Include their own names for extra fun.

I know a man that can clap his ears
Hi ho, hi dee ho
He's been doing it for 67 years
Hi ho, hi dee ho
It's a most unusual practice
People think it's weird he claps his ears
I know a dog that can fly a kite
Hi ho, hi dee ho
Does it by moonlight every night
Hi ho, hi dee ho
It's a most unusual practice
People think it's weird he flies a kite
I know a cow that can dance a jig
Hi ho, hi dee ho
Her hooves are as nimble as her legs are thick
Hi ho, hi dee ho
It's a most unusual practice
People think it's weird she dances jigs
I know a book that can read itself
Hi ho, hi dee ho
Since an encounter with a magical elf
Hi ho, hi dee ho
It's a most unusual practice
People think it's weird it reads itself
I know a sock that can play the harp
Hi ho, hi dee ho
Does regular concerts in the park
Hi ho, hi dee ho
It's a most unusual practice
People think it's weird it plays the harp
I know a fish that sing the sea
Hi ho, hi dee ho
Composes the waves into melody
Hi ho, hi dee ho
It's a most unusual practice
People think it's weird it sings the sea
Man dog cow book sock and fish
Hi ho, hi dee ho
Close your eyes and make a wish
Hi ho, hi dee ho
It's a most unusual practice
Singing songs about such things as this

And I've got a long face.

and I've got big hooves
and a swishy tail!

Every time a cloud goes by
A cloud goes by
A cloud goes by
Every time a cloud goes by
It gives you something to think about it
Every time a cloud goes by
A cloud goes by
A cloud goes by
Every time a cloud goes by
It gives you something to talk about it
Every time a cloud goes by
A cloud goes by
A cloud goes by
Every time a cloud goes by
It gives you something to dream about it

The Upside-Down Boy

Once upon a time There was a little boy
Who lived his life upside-down
And everywhere he went
He was upside-down
And everything he did
He was upside-down
Once upon a time There was a little boy
Who lived his life upside-down
And everywhere he walked
He was upside-down
And every time he slept
He was upside-down
Once upon a time There was a little boy
Who lived his life upside-down
And everything he ate
He was upside-down
And everything he said
he was upside-down
Once upon a time There was a little boy
Who lived his life upside-down
And every time he read
He was upside-down
And every song he sang
He was upside-down
And people always said
that his face was very red
But it didn't seem to matter to him
Once upon a time There was a little boy
Who lived his life upside-down

The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea
In a beautiful pea-green boat,
They took some honey, and plenty of money,
Wrapped up in a five-pound note.
The Owl looked up to the stars above,
And sang to a small guitar,
"O lovely Pussy! O Pussy, my love,
What a beautiful Pussy you are,
You are, you are, you are!
What a beautiful Pussy you are!"
Pussy said to the Owl, "You elegant fowl!
How charmingly sweet you sing!
O let us be married! too long we have tarried:
But what shall we do for a ring?"
They sailed away, for a year and a day,
To the land where the Bong-Tree grows
And there in a wood a Piggy-wig stood
With a ring at the end of his nose,
His nose, his nose, his nose!
With a ring at the end of his nose.
"Dear Pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling
Your ring?" Said the Piggy, "I will."
So they took it away, and were married next day
By the Turkey who lives on the hill.
They dined on mince, and slices of quince,
Which they ate with a runcible spoon;
And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand,
They danced by the light of the moon,
The moon, the moon, the moon!
They danced by the light of the moon.
