City Cats

City cats are out tonight
They like it when the moon is bright
Climbing trees and climbing walls
They have no fear of heights at all
Nature's here in town
Look see what's around
At dusk, fox is on the prowl
From the park we hear an owl
Owl's silent feathered flight
Scares the mouse who is out tonight
Nature's here in town
Look see what's around
Around the street lights high above
You might see a leopard moth
In gardens, woods, parks and streets
Looking for some leaves to eat
Nature's here in town
Look see what's around
Pipistrelle is a little bat
At night it hunts for midges and gnats
It squeezes through gaps to roost inside
Old buildings are good places to hide
Nature's here in town
Look see what's around

The Rain and the Wind
01:05
|
|||
|
The rain to the wind said "You push, I'll pelt"
Hit the garden bed and the flowers all knelt
Rain to the wind said "I'll splash, you blow"
Coming from the East, soon there will be snow
"My drops will turn to ice, you blow day and night"
Cities, towns and countryside all blanketed in white

Seed To Flower
01:00
|
|||
|
Seed to flower, acorn to oak
Rain the the earth, rain will soak
Down through the ground, make no sound
Seed to flower, acorn to oak
Blossom to fruit, egg to bird
Sun shines down, needs not a word
Seasons turn
World turns around
We stand between
The sky and the ground

Robin

The little bird has whistled
from the top of a holly tree
His breast as red as the berry
A merry little bird seems he
He's bold and bright and he throws his song
Over the garden wall
Where another little bird
from the top of a larch
Answers his call
The ground is white with a hard frost
The sun drops form the sky
The trees are bare as a witch broom
But the small birds stay on high
Whistle for a whistle
Till the first star blinks
Whistle till the grey dusk falls
Only then with a flicker and dart
Do they leave their branches tall

Caterpillar

Creepy Crawly Caterpillar
Looping up and down
Little tufts of hair along you back
of golden brown
Munching leaves all summer long
Now you're too big for your skin
Soon you will go pop
Not able to fit in
(repeat 1st verse)
Then you'll wrap yourself in silk
Sleep for many a day
Then lovely butterfly
spread your wings and fly away

Tawny Owl
02:31
|
|||
|
The child slept soundly wrapped in dreams
The night was prickled with squeaks and screams
The tawny owl left its perch to fly
A star left the Milky Way and slid across the sky
A star left the Milky Way and slid across the sky
The vole's scream was sharp and shrill
It cried, then was still
The night was prickled with squeaks and screams
The child slept soundly wrapped in dreams
The child slept soundly wrapped in dreams
Morning came with fresh air and rain
Fields and woods sweet and green again
No hint of death
No terrified scream
The child awoke from a long sweet dream
The child awoke from a long sweet dream
A blackbird sang
The world born anew
The child never guessed what the night had been through
The tawny owl slept in the barn
Looking as if it could never cause harm
Looking as if it could never cause harm

Fox
00:47
|
|||
|
Among the dustbins
Along the street
The young fox walks on dainty feet
He swings his tail
Prepares to fly
If a fierce dog should come by
The night is quiet
He looks around
Goes on his way
And makes no sound
A wild creature
On our street
The young fox walks on dainty feet

Who Saw The Petals
01:15
|
|||
|
Who saw the petals, drop from a rose?
"I" said the spider "but nobody knows"
Who saw the butterfly, who saw the bee
drink from the honeysuckle?
Said the spider "only me"
Who saw the ants marching all in a row?
"I" said the spider "I'm the only one that knows"
Who saw the morning mist settle on the ground?
"I" said the spider
"I was the only one around"

Small Creatures
01:08
|
|||
|
Little eyes all around
Fluttering wings that make no sound
Sharp little teeth, nibbling jaws
Our little neighbours are outdoors
Find out their names and what they do
They live here alongside you
Don't be afraid, nothing to fear
They are meant to be here
Creatures that live underground
Burrowing deep make no sound
Some wriggle, some squirm
Our gardens need earthworms
Outdoors is their home
Where they rest, where they roam
There is nothing to fear
They are meant to be here
