When you find the color green then fly back to your queen
Honeybee, honeybee

On a Rainy Day
Sit quiet listen to the rain
playing music on the window pane
On a rainy day
On a rainy day
Let’s take the books down off the shelf
Read with somebody or by yourself
On a rainy day
Why should it matter if the pitter patter goes on all day?
We can be lazy when the sky is hazy and the streets are grey.
And if you have to go
Don’t forget to wear your overcoat
some golloshes and off you go
On a rainy day
(solo)
Why should it matter if the pitter patter goes on all day?
We can be lazy when the sky is hazy and the streets are grey.
And as the rain falls down
Making rivers in the streets around town
It’s so nice just having you around
On a rainy day
Ah on a rainy day
Oooo on a rainy day...

We had such a great time today
we played outside
and saw some of your friends around town
then talked to Papa Willy & Meme on the telephone
We’ll have such a great time tomorrow
going to the park with your friends
then maybe we can go to the market
get some stuff for dinner and then go home
But now it’s time to say goodnight
CHORUS:
And I know you don’t want to go to sleep
But it’s time to close your eyes my darling
time to close your eyes my honey pie & dream
Oh I know you don’t want to go to sleep
But it’s time to close your eyes my darling
time to close your eyes my honey pie & dream
You’ll have so much fun when you’re dreaming
maybe you can go on a rocket
321 then blast off
on an intergalactic adventure into outerspace
Or maybe you could be a princess
living in a beautiful castle
Or be a knight fighting a dragon
saving all the villagers from a terrible fate
But now it’s time to say goodnight
CHORUS
The day was great
we had our fun
now we’ve said goodbye to our friend the sun
You’ve got your blanket
You’re all tucked in
it’s time to let the dreams begin
CHORUS X2
I know you don’t want to go to sleep (repeat until end)
