about

This is a family/kids song for EVERYONE to join in on clapping, dancing, singing, yelling and having the most fun you can possibly imagine whilst standing up. Sing it at teatime, sing it at bedtime, sing it in the shower. You're going to love it. It's a school holiday project on songwriting I was teaching my kids: how to structure a song and invent a story etc. and little Savannah is featured throughout. Along with other noises. Enjoy!

lyrics

V1

My magpie fell out of the tree
And then spilled his baked beans with glee
My magpie's really really cool
Because he wants a magpie pool

Chorus

My magpie
My magpie
My weird magpie
My black and white magpie

V2

My magpie wants a carrot stick
My magpie loves a belly rub
My magpie cannot lift a brick
He makes his nest out of sticks

to chorus

Bridge

I found my magpie on the ground
But then I heard a sound
It sounded like "cluck cluck cluck"
I thought it was a duck
But it was...

to chorus
