Grandma Made Good Compost 03:01
lyrics

Grandma Made Good Compost My Grandma had a garden It was her pride and joy And I would spend long summer days playing there as a boy How did that garden get so green? How did that garden grow? She had a secret recipe that everyone should know CHORUS Grandma made good compost, grandma made good compost She had a secret recipe that everyone should know In that sunny, green-lit garden, she would talk to me As the bees went softly hummin’ all through the blossom trees She said “when I die don’t you bury me in some cold graveyard plot Bury me deep in the compost heap and make sure it’s nice and hot” CHORUS That garden is still growing, I tend to it everyday And its life reminds me of Grandma and what she used to say She said “when I die don’t you bury me in some cold graveyard plot Bury me deep in the compost heap and make sure it’s nice and hot” CHORUS

Don’t put your Fingers in the Butter Don’t put your Fingers in the Butter In the butter, In the butter Don’t put your Fingers in the Butter Cause the butter will get everywhere Rule 1.

Refer to rules 1 to 3 Don’t put your Fingers in the Butter In the butter, In the butter Don’t put your Fingers in the Butter Cause the butter will get everywhere BRIDGE Well, it’s hard to resist, to stop your fingertips When that butter’s so creamy and nice You’ll get butter in your hair and butter on your chair You better stop and take my advice When the weather gets hot and the butter gets soft It’s so easy to spread it on your bread In the middle of the summer you got your fingers in the butter You’ll make a big mess just like I said My great, great, great, great, great Grandfather And my My great, great, great, great, great Grandmother They both ate first rate, grade A butter They got it form the udder, they kept it in the larder Don’t put your Fingers in the Butter In the butter, In the butter Don’t put your Fingers in the Butter Cause the butter will get everywhere Etc.

Dog in the Doghouse There’s a dog in the doghouse There’s a dog in the doghouse And you know the dog’s gonna be your best friend There’s a cat in the kitchen There’s a cat in the kitchen And you know the cat’s gonna eat and leave CHORUS And it made good sense, it made good sense to me Yes, it made good sense, it made good sense to me Just for one fleeting moment, it made good sense to me There’s a bird in the birdbath There’s a bird in the birdbath And you know the bird will be back again There’s a rat in the rafters There’s a rat in the rafter And you know the rats gonna keep you from sleep CHORUS And it made good sense, it made good sense to me Yes, it made good sense, it made good sense to me Just for one fleeting moment, it made good sense to me There’s a dog in the doghouse There’s a cat in the kitchen There’s a bird in the birdbath There’s a rat in the rafters There’s a dog in the doghouse

Sour Cream 02:08
lyrics

Sour Cream by Ian Mort Mortimer I’ve got a lot of crazy questions rattlin’ through my head Keepin’ me awake at night while I’m lying in my bed Like, how many cooks does it take to spoil the broth? And how do you know for sure when the sour cream is off? Why’s abbreviated such a long word? Why can’t you rollerskate in a buffalo herd? How can you tell when your pet rock is dead? And what was the best thing before sliced bread? And got handful of conundrums that I’m trying to solve Like how did they measure hailstones before they invented golf? Before they invented golf Do they take a coffee break at the Twinnings factory? Does Stevie Wonder ever say “I’ll just wait and see” How much deeper would the ocean be if they took all the sponges out? And what if the Hokey Pokey really is what it’s all about? Are there any rhetorical questions left? Why don’t they spell the word phonetic with an F? What if Marcel Marco had nothing to say And if today’s the first day of the rest of your life what the hell was yesterday? What the hell was yesterday? I’ve got a lot of crazy questions rattlin’ through my head Keepin’ me awake at night while I’m lying in my bed Like, how many cooks does it take to spoil the broth? And how do you know for sure when the sour cream is off?

There's Something Stinky in the Fridge 03:22
lyrics

There’s Something Stinky in the Fridge VERSE There’s something happening, something mysterious A strange occurrence in the fridge It started months ago, but no-one really knows What is growing in the fridge In the fridge There’s something stinky in the fridge It started with a smell like some mouldy cheese That’s been left out in the sun Dad ignored the smell, Mum ignored the smell Now there’s something in the fridge In the Fridge There’s something Stinky in the Fridge In the Fridge There’s something Stinky in the Fridge BRIDGE We get take-away. Every night and day. Drive through for breakfast, lunch and dinner-time and that’s OK. As long as we don’t have to smell whatevers in the fridge VERSE The smell it got so bad, it nearly made us gag The stench was leaking from the fridge The fridge began to ooze, one night we saw it move We put a padlock on the fridge BRIDGE The fridge is nailed shut, it’s wrapped in metal chains We put the fridge inside the shed In the shed There’s something Stinky in the shed

Things That Spin 03:57
lyrics

Things that Spin CHORUS Well I like to think about things that spin And the question of how does the spinning begin, So open your mind, come on and join in It’s time to think about things that spin VERSE Like clocks that tick and tock and tops that spin than wobble than topple And bottles at parties that point to the kisser lazy susan spinning in the middle of a dinner And a big Windmill that’s made of steel and a rodeo bull in a hamster wheel And the moon around a planet and a planet round the sun and now I’m done CHORUS VERSE Like hoops round hips and ferris wheels and juggling clubs and tumbling clowns And acrobats that swing from bars and cars that spin their tyres round And ballerinas spin on toes and so do footballs I suppose And spiders spin their webs too don’t you know And heads can spin like eyes can roll and bowlers spin the balls they bowl which flip and turn and mystify and spinning circles hypnotise and turtles spin when upside and records turn around it’s said a needle sends a signal which is fed through speakers to your head CHORUS

Under the bed You’re looking for your favourite book I’ll tell you where to look. You’re gonna find your favourite book under ya bed And a rabbit and a chook, even though your parents will go crook You’ve got a rabbit and a chook under ya bed You’ve got a bowl of mashed potata, you got it from the waiter He told you could keep it under ya bed And some old wrapping paper, you can deal with it later In the meantime you can keep it under your bed Under ya bed Under ya bed You keep all your stuff under ya bed Well, everybody knows where you keep your dirty clothes You fold them up neatly and put them under your bed And when you need to wash the floor or wash the writing off the wall You use the garden hose that’s under ya bed Under ya bed Under ya bed You keep all ya stuff under ya bed You’ve brought your sandwich home from school And you know the sandwich rule You’re going to have to hide it under ya bed And you should have put them back in the shed Just like your father said Now you’ve got your Dad’s tools under ya bed Under ya bed Under ya bed You keep all ya stuff under ya bed

Magpie Magpie sing your morning song Sounds so sweet when your mate sings along And when the whole brood go and pick up the tune Makes me want to sing along too It sounds so simple it sounds so free I wish I could sing so easily To greet the sun with a sound so true Must make it shine When the magpie family come around They fly from the trees and they land on the ground They all get together to warble their song And it makes me want to sing along too When the first light of day appears in the east The birds wake up and the night retreats The magpie sings the sky to blue And it makes me want to sing along too It sounds so simple it sounds so free I wish I could sing so easily To greet the sun with a sound so true Must make it shine Magpie sing your morning song Sounds so sweet when your mate sings along And when the whole brood go and pick up the tune Makes me want to sing along too
