Look over there

For Mikey at bedtime

Look over there
What can we see ?
The whole wide world
as far as the trees

There’s a giant giraffe
eating bamboo
and a very tall ostrich
that is six foot two

Look over there
What can we see ?
The whole wide world
as far as the trees

There’s the garden next door
and the one after that
and sneaking up the path
is a naughty little cat

Look over there
What can we see ?
The whole wide world
as far as the trees

There’s a crocodile swimming
‘cross a river of blue
and up in the branches
there’s a squirrel – no ! Two !

Look over there
What can we see ?
The whole wide world
as far as the trees

Then right above the treetops
Can you see in the sky ?
The marshmallow mountains
of clouds flying by

Look over there
What can we see ?
The whole wide world
as far as the trees

Now Mummy draws the curtains
from the left and from the right
and the garden and the trees
have all vanished from sight

Look over there
What can we see ?
The whole wide world:
Mum and you and me.

Four Young Boys

On the occasion of a family holiday

Four young gentlemen came to France
A holiday chateau awaited
Their mothers and fathers and uncles and aunts
Were all simply there to be baited
The gentlemen played in the fountain
They bombed and they dived in the pool
And probably learned far more naughty French words
Than they’ll ever get taught at school
So Timothy, Charlie, Georgie and Tink
Ces cadeaux sont pour vous
I forgot to tell you earlier I think …
“Caca” is French for poo …
