I wasn’t planning on another blog post today, but sometimes life gets in the way.
Ok, we’re going to have a singalong. The song is called…
“I’ve Been Attacked by a Giant Tortoise” to the tune of Cat Stevens’ “Moonshadow”.
I took the washing down to hang it out
hang it out, hang it out.
There’s a tortoise there but that’s ok
That’s ok, that’s ok.
I need to get this washing dry
My daughter needs clothes, my daughter needs clothes
Oh I need to get this washing dry,
So I
need to hang it out.
I start to hang the washing out
hang it out, hang it out.
The tortoise starts to move towards me
move to me, move to me.
I need to get this washing dry
My daughter needs clothes, my daughter needs clothes
Oh I need to get this washing dry,
So I
need to hang it out.
I’m being followed by a giant tortoise,
Giant tortoise, giant tortoise.
Yes, I’ve been attacked by a giant tortoise,
Giant tortoise, giant tortoise.
I run with the washing back to the house,
My daughter needs clothes, my daughter needs clothes
Oh I need to get this washing dry,
So I
hang it in the bathroom.
(and once more for the good bit!)
I’m being followed by a giant tortoise,
Giant tortoise, giant tortoise.
Yes, I’ve been attacked by a giant tortoise,
Giant tortoise, giant tortoise,
Giant tortoise, giant tortoise,
Giant tortoise, giant tortoise.
