41. NO! Seven
a is a sound you’ll hear a lot

you’ll find it in the middle of a word
like pat
and also hat and mat and rat

but better not leave him on the window sill
If you move in haste he might jump out,
if he squashes Dad’s tomatoes he’s bound
to SHOUT !
NO! Seven
This isnt your song..

43. We’re happy hopping - hop, hop, hop
We’re happy hopping - hop, hop, hop
We’re happy hopping - hop, hop, hop
Give us some music and we’ll never
stop !

44. Is it a true or is it a myth ?
Depends on who I am sitting with...
Mum says ‘enough’ – don’t be silly son!
But Grandma Flo she wants some fun 
Yes, yes, it’s a dragon !
NO! Seven
This isnt your
song..

45. Nick is a gnat who’s keeps saying NO !
