Primary Proms 2023

Baby mine don't you cry.
Baby mine dry your eye.
Rest your head close to my heart, never to part,
Baby of mine.
Little one when you play,
Don't you mind what they say.
Let those eyes sparkle and shine, never a tear,
Baby of mine.
If they knew sweet little you,
They'd end up loving you too.
All those same people who scold you,
What they'd give just for the right to hold you.
From your head to your toes,
You're not much, goodness knows.
But you're so precious to me, cute as can be,
Baby of mine.

Black as the midnight,
And white as the snow,
Gold as the sunshine; my cat of calico.
Cute as a button,
Yet tough as a nail,
Oh, how I love her, from head to fluffy tail.
She's a calico cat. (She's a calico cat.)
She's a calico cat. (How about that?)
Light as a feather,
And sweet as a pie,
Proud as a peacock, the apple of my eye.
Straight as an arrow,
And sharp as a tack,
Sure as a shadow, she always has my back.
Just like the colours
That speckle her fur,
Colourful habits make her uniquely her!

Chicken, chicken, chicken,
Chicken, chicken, chicken.

Chicken, chicken, chicken, chick.
Chicken, chicken, chicken, chick.

Chicken on a fencepost, can't dance, Josey. (x3)
Hello, Susie Brownie-oh!

Josey can't dance. (x3)
Hello, Susie Brownie-oh!

Hold my mule, while I dance, Josey.
Hold my mule, while I dance.
Hold my mule, while I dance, Josey.
Big Foot Charlie can't dance!

The time for talk is over, we've heard it all before.
You've given us the key to fly up and out the door.
What more to do? Check out the view!

Remember when we started another life away.
So many hills before us, but here we are today.
What more to do? Give you a clue!

Stand back! Look out below!
Hit the road, Jack! Get on with the show!
We'll hit the ground running and soon we'll be stunning the crowd.
Let's go for broke. We'll make you proud.

I’ll shoulder my bag and run away.
I’ll see you again some other day.
What more to do? Give you a clue!

Stand back! Look out below!
Hit the road, Jack! Get on with the show!
We'll hit the ground running and soon we'll be stunning the crowd.
Let's go for broke. We'll make you proud.

Never polka with a porcupine.
Dancing isn't part of his design.
You can schottisch with a sheep or swing-dance with the swine.
But never, never, (Ouch!)
Never, (Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!)
Never polka with a porcupine.

Never polka with a porcupine.
Good dance partners aren't that hard to find.
You can salsa with a slug. Just watch out for the slime.
But never, never, (Ouch!)
Never, (Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!)
Never polka with a porcupine.

He's not too fond of dancing,
Or other fancy prancing.
He'd rather show off his tree-climbing skills.
Be careful how you treat him
The next time that you meet him,
Because he's covered head to toe in quills.

Never polka with a porcupine.
That's the point where you must draw the line.
You can cha-cha with a chimp that swings from vine to vine.
But never, never, (Ouch!)
Never, (Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!)
Never polka with a porcupine.

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious.
If you say it loud enough you'll always sound precocious.
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

Um diddle iddle iddle um diddle ay.
Um diddle iddle iddle um diddle ay.

Because I was afraid to speak when I was just a lad,
Me father gave me nose a tweak and told me I was bad.
But then one day I learnt a word that saved me achin' nose.
The biggest word you ever heard and this is how it goes. Oh!

I travelled all around the world and ev'ry where I went
I'd use me word and all would say, "There goes a clever gent!"
When dukes and maharajahs passed the time of day with me
I'd say me special word and then they'd ask me out to tea!

So when the cat has got your tongue there's no need for dismay.
Just summon up this word and then you've got a lot to say.
But better use it carefully or it could change your life.
One night I said it to me girl, and now me girl's me wife!

Who can take a sunrise,
Sprinkle it with dew,
Cover it in choc'late and a miracle or two?
The candy man, the candy man can.
The candy man can 'cause he
Mixes it with love and makes the world taste good.

Who can take a rainbow,
Wrap it in a sigh,
Soak it in the sun and make a strawb'ry lemon pie?
The candy man, the candy man can.
The candy man can 'cause he
Mixes it with love and makes the world taste good.

The candy man makes ev'rything he bakes
Satisfying and delicious.
Talk about your childhood wishes!
You can even eat the dishes!

Who can take tomorrow,
Dip it in a dream,
Separate the sorrow and collect up all the cream?
The candy man, the candy man can.
The candy man can 'cause he
Mixes it with love and makes the world taste good.

And the world tastes good 'cause the candy man thinks it should.

Here ye boys, what'll it be?
Come gather 'round, have a drink on me.
Tales to tell and tales to hear at the bottom of the sea.
All above come down below.
Hear the captain's tale!

Here ye boys, join our song.
Sink your ship and it won't be long.
Plenty of room for a sailor done wrong at the bottom of the sea.
All above come down below.
Hear the captain's tale!

Here ye boys, we’re still here.
A hundred years drinking plenty of beer (Hey!)
Drowned our sorrows in the deep at the bottom of the sea.
All above come down below.
Hear the captain's tale!

Here ye boys, a little advice.
If you fight the swell it will take your life.
Died like a man they'll tell your wife.  At the bottom of the sea.
All above come down below.
Hear the captain's tale!

Here ye boys, the years pass by.
So we stay where the sea dogs lie.
Drinking all the oceans dry at the bottom of the sea.
All above come down below.
Hear the captain's tale!

Here ye boys, what'll it be?
Come gather 'round, have a drink on me.
Tales to tell and tales to hear.
And you guessed it, plenty of beer! (Hey!)
All of you are welcome here at the bottom of the sea.
All above come down below.
Hear the captain's tale!

Hear now the captain's tale.
Listen to the captain's wail!
All above come down below.
Hear the captain's tale! Hey!

Two and two are four,
Four and four are eight,
Eight and eight are sixteen,
Sixteen and sixteen are thirty-two.

Inchworm, inchworm, measuring the marigolds,
You and your arithmetic, you'll probably go far.
Inchworm, inchworm, measuring the marigolds,
Seems to me you'd stop and see how beautiful they are.

Those magnificent men in their flying machines!
They go up diddle-ee up up,
They go down diddle-ee 'own down.
They enchant all the ladies and steal all the scenes
With their up diddle-ee up up
And their down diddle-ee 'own down.

Up, down, flying around.
Looping the loop and defying the ground.
They're all frightfully keen;
Those magnificent men in their flying machines!

They can fly upside down with their feet in the air,
They don't think of danger, they really don't care.
Newton would think he had made a mistake
To see those young men and the chances they take!

Summer is high as the bright blue sky,
Sand is under my feet.
The waves and wind play a symphony,
Where the mountains meet the sea,
Where the mountains meet the sea.

Away-O
Away to be free.
Away-O
Where the mountains meet the sea,
Where the mountains meet the sea.

Let me escape from these city streets,
To smell the sweet summer breeze.
To lie beneath the shade of a tree
Where the mountains meet the sea,
Where the mountains meet the sea.

The mountains bring me strength.
Away-O Away-O
The sea will bring me peace.
Away Away Away-O

Now the sun must fade in the summer sky,
But I will keep my memories.
My strength restored and my mind at peace,
Where the mountains meet the sea,
Where the mountains meet the sea.

Where friends and laughter and mountains meet the sea.
Where the mountains meet the sea.
