Here is a house in the wood
A mouse is running through the wood
She stops at the door, she knocks at the door.
MOUSE:
What a pretty little house! Squeak-squeak!
Does anybody live here?
Oh, nobody lives in the house, so it’ll be my house!
The mouse comes into the house and sings a song:
This is my house, come in, come in!
This is my brilliant house
This is my bed and that is my chair
Look at my books, they are everywhere
This is my house, come in, come in!
This is my brilliant house, come in!

Here is a house in the wood,
A frog is running through the wood
She stops at the door, she knocks at the door.
FROG: Who lives in the house, house?
MOUSE: I’m Squeak the Mouse! And who are you?
FROG: I’m Frog the Croak, may I live with you?
MOUSE: Yes, come and live with me.
The Frog comes into the house and looks out of the window, reciting a poem:
Twenty froggies come to school
Down beside a little pool
Twenty little coats of green
Twenty vests all white and clean
“We must be in time, “said they,
First we study then we play
This is how we keep the rule
When we froggies go to school”.

ALL: And who are you?

They sing together:
The more we’ll get together, together, together
The more we’ll get together,
The happier we’ll be
When my friends are your friends
And your friends are my friends
The more we’ll get together,
The happier we’ll be!

COCK:
I had a little hen, the prettiest ever seen,
She washed me the dishes and kept the house clean;
She went to the mill to fetch me some flour,
She brought it home in less than an hour;
She baked me my bread; she brewed me my ale,
She sat by the fire and told many a fine tale.

To look at the Queen.

Under her chair!

With you, my friends, with you.

And it is snowing
It’s cold and it’s windy outside
But don’t be frightened
Of the thunder and lightning
It’s nice and warm inside
Go to bed, rest your head,
And listen to the rain outside
And don’t be frightened
Of the thunder and lightning
It’s nice and warm inside.
Sleep tight! Sweet dreams!
