FLIPPERTY FLOPPERTY WORLD
​
It's a flipperty flopperty world,
with wibbly wobbly trees
and dibberty dabberty fields,
plus a zipperty zappety breeze.
It's a flipperty flapperty world,
with a dingly dangly sun
and splisherty splasherty seas,
plus happerty hopperty fun.
Oh, it's a flipperty flopperty world,
with a stickerty stackerty sky
and plipperty plopperty planets,
plus a moon that's a custard pie.
​
YOU CAN'T CATCH ME
I run and run and run and run.
I run so fast. It's so much fun.
I'm faster than a Bumble Bee,
or racing cars. You can't
catch
me!

I WON'T GO TO BED​​​
​
I won't go to bed.
It's early yet.
The sun has hardly
broken sweat.
​
I won't go to bed.
It won't be right,
when toys will miss
me through the night.
​
I won't go to bed.
You can't make me.
I'm a big boy now.
I'm nearly three!
​
SPIKY THE SPOON
Spiky The Spoon
went up to the moon
to see how the stars are made.
​
They're made from custard,
and plenty of mustard,
plus lashings of real Lemonade.

DON'T TRICK OR TREAT
A LION
​​
Don't trick or treat a lion,
as when it's at the door,
it won't give you some candy,
but give a giant ROARRRRRR!
