Lyrics A You’re affectionate B You are brave C You’re courageous and clever D You’re determined, and that’s OK E You’re engaging in so many ways That’s what I think about you That’s what I think about you F Fair and friendly, that’s what I know G Is for generous and giving It’s also for gracious and that’s all true H You are honest, and helpful That’s you! That’s what I think about you That’s what I think about you I Is for your great imagination J You’re joyful And kind Loving and so loveable You’re really one of a kind You’re magically motivated Naturally bright Optimistic You Persevere and yes, you’re polite You’re quirky, quick-witted Respectful and Strong You’re thoughtful to others The list just goes on Unique and ‘Venturous Willing and warm X is for xenial, that’s friendly Y is because you are you!

Lyrics I’m gonna run, run, run, run, run I’m gonna run and run all day I’m gonna run and play and have some fun Run, run, run, and play I’m gonna play, play I’m gonna stomp and shake and jump and dance And kick and spin around I’m gonna hop and wriggle and giggle and move And then fall to the ground I’m gonna play, play, play I’m a busy Lizzie: I’m a busy Ben A jolly Ollie, that’s who I am A chirpy Charlie, I got things to do I’ve got places to be I’ve got so much to see That’s me I’m gonna walk and waddle and slow right down I’m gonna sit myself down, on the ground I’m gonna stop, and look all around I don’t want to run, ‘cause I’m all done

Lyrics It’s easy to be kind, if I make up my mind To think about somebody else It’s easy to be kind if I make up my mind To think about someone else It’s not the worst thing that could happen If I don't go first Or if I have to wait for my turn, and go next I’ll be the best friend, you can expect It’s easy to be kind if I make up my mind (Being kind is easy) To think about somebody else (Being kind is cool) It’s easy to be kind, if I make up my mind (Being kind is what people remember) To think about somebody else (About all the kids at school) I don't need the biggest piece of cake I can share it with you I don't want to make the same ol’ mistake And only think about what I can take Because I know that if I’m kind to others My friends or my brother, my sister, or my mother I feel even better about myself That's the way to feel better And nobody misses out. Nobody misses out I don't need the biggest piece of cake I can share it with you I don't want to make the same ol’ mistake And only think about what I can take But if I’m kind to others My friends or my brother, my sister, or my mother I feel even better about myself (That's the way to feel better) And nobody misses out (Nobody misses out) It’s easy to be kind if I make up my mind (Being kind is easy) To think about somebody else (Being kind is cool) It’s easy to be kind, if I make up my mind (Being kind is what people remember) To think about somebody else (About all the kids at school) It’s easy to be kind if I make up my mind It’s easy to be kind

Dizzy Wizzy 03:38
Lyrics Round and around and around and around I go Like a wheel that is turning around, see me go Twisting and twirling and whizzing and whirling along Spinning around getting dizzy, so I slow down Stretch up high, reach down low Stretch up high, reach down low Round and around and around and around, I go Like a wheel that is turning around, see me go Twisting and twirling and whizzing and whirling along Spinning around getting dizzy, so I slow down Side to side, I stretch out wide Side to side, see me sway Side to side, I stretch out wide Side to side, this way Round and around and around and around I go Like a wheel that is turning around, see me go Twisting and twirling and whizzing and whirling along Spinning around I am spinning around Spinning around getting dizzy Spinning around and then I slow down

Lyrics At the end of the day, when it turns into night And the moon is shining and the stars are bright Then it’s time to say goodnight To my Teddy: goodnight Teddy At the end of the day, when it turns into night And the moon is shining, and the stars are bright Then it’s time to say goodnight To my Teddy: goodnight Teddy And my Bunny: hop over here Bunny At the end of the day, when it turns into night And the moon is shining and the stars are bright Then it’s time to say goodnight To my Teddy: goodnight Teddy And my Bunny: hop over here Bunny And my Moo-Moo: finished playing yet Moo-Moo? At the end of the day, when it turns into night And the moon is shining, and the stars are bright Then it’s time to say goodnight To my Teddy: goodnight Teddy And my Bunny: hop over here now Bunny And my Moo-Moo: you playing again Moo-Moo? And my Bow-Wow-Dog: are you hiding Bow-Wow?

Lyrics Oh the places you’ll go when you’re walking, You can walk fast or slow and keep talking You can walk to the park, to the shop down the street You can walk with your dog, and there’s people you meet Oh the places you’ll go when you’re walking, Oh the places you’ll go when you walk Oh the places you’ll go when you’re riding your bike Oh the places you’ll go when you’re riding You can ride all the way to your friend’s house to play You can ride in the morning and late in the day Oh the places you’ll go when you’re riding your bike Oh the places you go when you ride Oh the places you’ll go when you’re driving Oh the places you’ll go in your car You can visit places that seem very far But you get there so fast, if you go in the car You can drive to the beach and take your guitar Oh the places you’ll go in your car

Lyrics Summer child, free to play Golden sunshine, longest day Seaside visits, toes in sand Warm days of summer Autumn child, gentle breeze Cooler mornings, sunset bright Falling leaves, where small feet run Colours of autumn Winter child, warm coat on Gumboots, puddles, pouring rain Shortest day and longest night Cold days of winter Springtime child, all a-bloom Future hope and promises Wonderment in all things new Beauty in spring time Dreams come true, day by day How you’ve grown, another year Summer, autumn, winter, spring My love for you, grows deeper
