Come close and listen while I singI won’t melt your precious wingsSo come on and plug me inPlug me inPlug me inCome on and plug me in ( x 2 )I want to feel that heat beginFeel that heat begin

Although my body is rusting throughI have carried this song for youIt’s from the Sphinx and the serpent tooSo plug me in

Through falling leaves I pick my way slowly Talking aloud - eases my mind Sunlight filters through - I feel my head is drifting So full of thoughts - I thought What am I going to do? I need some thoughts that are new

ChorusChorus

•Doo doo doo... Nature - enter me

Up in a tree a bird sings so sweetly Nature’s own voice - I hear Rustling whistling leaves turning breeze to speech Call to me now - ease my mind I’ll turn something new My mind’s laid with dew

( Chorus )

I’ll turn something new My mind’s laid with dew

( Chorus x 2 )

Slow down, you move too fast.You got to make the mornin' last.Just kickin' down the cobblestones,Lookin' for fun and feelin' groovy.Ba da da da da da da, feelin' groovy.

Hello, lamppost, whatcha knowin'?I come to watch your flowers growin'.Ain'tcha got no rhymes for me?Doo it doo doo, feelin' groovy.Ba da da da da da da, feelin' groovy.

I got no deeds to do, no promises to keep.I'm dappled and drowsy and ready to sleepLet the morningtime drop all it's petals on meLife, I love you, all is groovy!Ba da da da da da da ba bap a dee...

Should have stayed tucked up in my bedShould have pulled the covers back over my

headInstead I hit the floorHeaded for the door,Just to hear my brother say“Yo, what’s up, fuzz nut?”

CHORUSCHORUSMousse aint stickinWater aint slickinIt looks like a feather from the back end of a

chickenI aint gonna use no silly hair sprayI’m havin such a bad hair day

Looked in the mirror – oh, what a sight!Must have been fighting with my pillow all

nightIt got me in a tizz to see it in a frizzI couldn’t find my gel anywhere

( CHORUS )

Opened up the cupboard, searched high and low

Tryin to find something that would fix my froPiled on some creamShould have heard me scream –Suddenly my hair turned green!

( CHORUS )

Went down the stairs with a plan in my headMaybe I could hide it with a beanie insteadMum saw the hat, she said“You aint wearin that!Remember what day it is today?“Ah – Monday?” No”“Ah – Tuesday?” No”“ SCHOOL PHOTOS! AAAH!”

I like green bananas and pink ice cream

Wobbly jelly makes me screamMum’s hamburgers are pretty

cool,But I like fish and chips best of all

CHORUSCHORUSFish and Chips ( Yeah )Fish and ChipsMake me want to lick my lipsEat them for breakfast, lunch and teaFish and chips are for me

I like peanut butter on my breadMaybe Marmite and honey insteadI like spaghetti and cocoa pops,But fish and chips are the tops.
