Children’s songs

1. Charlie Found A Little Stone

Charlie found a little stone,
round and red
Brought it to his parent's home,
and showed it to his dad
„Well“ said the dad
„that's a very nice stone,
what's its name?“
And Charlie named the stone: „Richard“
Happy Charlie, happy stone
Happy Richard, happy Charlie
„Touch the clouds“ Charlie said
Threw the stone into the sky
very high Richard turned into a star!

2. My Favourite Color

My favourite color is blue,
no other shade looks as good
Blue is the ocean, blue is the dress I wear
Flowers and candy, there's nothing to compare
My favourite color is blue!
The most beautiful color,
The most beautiful color
I think I might like orange as well...

3. The Cat

Once upon a time there was a cat
who lived in a hat, with a big brown rat.
And the cat was hungry
so it asked the rat for a loaf of bread.
But the rat gave the cat a piece of cake instead.
And the cat ate the cake and got really fat
Then its head turned red and it felt quite bad
It was brought by the rat to the nearest vet
But despite all the effort now the cat is...

4. The Old Tree

On the hill there stands a tree,
its branches bare, its leaves have left.
And when the wind blowes through its hair,
it waves to me and I wave back.

5. I Can Scream!

I can scream, I can shout!
I can scream very high,
I can scream very loud!
I can roar like my dad:
„come down for dinner!“
I can yell like my mum:
„clean up your room now!“
I can scream, I can shout!
I can scream very high, I,
I can scream very loud!
