The Bossy Cow 01:56
lyrics
buy track
Moo, Moo, Moo!!!! Clarice was a very bossy cow, she loved bossing people around. She would say “do this, don´t do that” or “do it like this, don´t do it like that”. In fact, she loved bossing people around so much that she made up a little song. It goes something like this, 1, 2, 3, 4………… “Do it, do it, don´t do it, but if you`re going to do it then get right to it, do it, do it, don´t do it, but if you`re going to do it do it now” said the cow. “Say it, say it, don´t say it, but if you´re going to say it then don´t delay it, say it, say it, don´t say it, but if you´re going to say it say it now” said the cow. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 8,9,10, and again. “Get it, get it, don´t get it, but if you´re going to get it then don´t forget it, Get it get it, don´t get it, but if you´re going to get it get it now” said the cow. “Play it, play it, don´t play it but if you´re going to play it then why not say it? Play it, play it, don´t play it, but if you´re going to play it play it now” said the cow. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 8,9,10, and the end. So, as Clarice always says “just do as you´re told”. Moooooo!!!!

Rooooaaaar!!!!! 1,2,3,4…. He´s a tall tale tiger he likes to tell tales like the time he was a pilot or swimming with whales, he´s also been a soldier and a fireman too, Is there really anything that this tiger cannot do? Yeah he likes to tell tall tales, Yeah he likes to tell tall tales, Yeah he likes to tell tall tales, with all the details. Do you believe a word he tells you? Do you believe a word he says? Do you believe a word he tells you? Maybe some of his stories are not true and there are some things this tiger really cannot do. He´s a tall tale tiger all his stories are true, like the time he was an astronaut or escaped from the zoo, he´s also been a rally driver, fisherman too, Is there really anything that this tiger cannot do? Yeah he likes to tell tall tales, Yeah he likes to tell tall tales, Yeah he likes to tell tall tales, with all the details. Do you believe a word he tells you? Do you believe a word he says?

I don´t like this and I don´t like that, I don´t like to play and I don´t like to chat, I´m always grumpy because things bother me, The only thing I really like is a nice cup of tea. I´m a grumpy, grumpy goat. I´m so grumpy but it´s really not my fault, I have to take everybody with a pinch of salt, I´m so moody because they all annoy me, So I´m going home where there´s no one to see. I´m a grumpy, grumpy goat. Why can´t they all leave me alone? Why can´t they all just go home? Why can´t they all forget about me? Because the only thing I really like is a nice cup of tea. I´m a grumpy, grumpy goat, I´m a grumpy, grumpy goat. I don´t like telly and I don´t like games, I don´t like people because to me they´re all the same, I´m always grumpy because things bother me, The only thing I really like is a nice cup of tea. I´m a grumpy, grumpy goat. I´m so grumpy but it´s really not my fault, I have to take everybody with a pinch of salt, I´m so moody because they all annoy me, So I´m going home where there´s no one to see.

The Cheeky Monkey 02:03

The Cheeky Monkey was very cheeky, and was always trying to get his friends to do naughty things. Let me drink your lemonade, Let me play with all the things you made, Let´s make a mess around your house, Let´s chase and catch that furry little mouse. Let me ride your bicycle, Let me do the things that I shouldn´t do, Let´s paint all over the walls, Let´s have a bath and make a waterfall. Let´s have some fun today, Be naughty and not do the things our teachers say, Like running round the class, And rolling in the long green grass. If your a cheeky monkey too, Let´s see what naughty things we can do, If your a cheeky monkey too, Then I want to do some naughty things with you.

The Selfish Seagull 03:08

The selfish seagull was really selfish, He only thought about himself and would never help anyone or share anything with anyone, He actually enjoyed being selfish, and always sang a little song to show people how selfish he was, He loved to do a funky little dance while he sang this funky little song. That one´s mine and this one too, That one´s red and this one´s blue, Don´t ever think that they´re for you, Because that one´s mine and this one too, If you want some more or you think it´s yours well it´s not. Huh! Give me everything I need, Get me lots of books to read, Then show me what you´ve got for me, Give me everything I need, If you want some more or you think it´s yours, Well it´s not. Huh! This one´s mine and that one too, That one´s green and this one´s blue, Don´t ever think that it´s for you, Because this one´s mine and that one too, If you want some more or you think it´s yours well it´s not. Huh! Give me all the things I like, Like a toy car or a motorbike, Then show me what you´ve got for me, And give me all the thing I like, If you want some more or you think it´s yours, well it´s not. That one´s mine this one´s mine, me, me, me, That one´s mine this one´s mine, me, me, me, That one´s mine this one´s mine, me, me, me.

The Cosy Koala 03:37
lyrics

The Cosy Koala was always very dozy, He was always always half asleep, well most of the time anyway. If there was one thing he loved more than anything else in the world, it was to dream. He was a real dreamer. He would tell all the other animals about the wonderful dreams he had and the things he would love to do if he were really living his dreams. “If I had wings, I would fly to the moon”. “If I were a boat, I would sail out to sea”. If I were a kangaroo, I´d jump over the trees”. To get to sleep he would sing a little song. The more he sang, the sleepier he would get. It´s cosy and warm, you´re tucked up, So close your eyes and sleep. The moon is out, the stars shine, So dream, dream away. If I were a river, a long wide river, I´d float away on the stream. Go to bed, get tucked up, And dream, dream, dream. It´s getting late, you´re wide awake, So close your eyes and dream. If I were a cloud, a fluffy white cloud, I´d float away on the breeze. I´m the Koala, the Cosy Koala, And I love to dream.

about

English with animals is an interactive experience for children based around a series of animals using songs and illustrations to stimulate children and develop English language skills from an early age.

Each character has their own personality and therefore uses specific speech patterns based around their character traits. For example, the Bossy Cow is very bossy and therefore uses the imperative to impose her will, “Do this, don´t do that”. The Tall Tale Tiger likes to tell tall tales and therefore exagerates in the past, “When I was a fireman, when I was swimming with whales, etc………”.

The songs are written and performed in a fun and interactive way and style so that parents and children can have fun while doing an enjoyable, educational and stimulating activity together.
