I was saying

I was saying what I wanted to say

When I wanted to say

When I wanted to say it

I was doing what I wanted to do

When I wanted to do

When I wanted to do it

I was being what I wanted to be

When I wanted to be

When I wanted to be it

I was playing when I wanted to play 

When I wanted to play

When I wanted to play it

I was going around from town to town

Doing all the things completely sound

Even though I was on the ground

Spreading my words all around

Going here going there

Doing all the things oh yes I swear

In a way that's totally fair

Because I know I really care

I was saying what I wanted to say

When I wanted to say

When I wanted to say it

I was doing what I wanted to do

When I wanted to do

When I wanted to do it

I was being what I wanted to be

When I wanted to be

When I wanted to be it

I was playing when I wanted to play 

When I wanted to play

When I wanted to play it

I was finding it tough sure enough

Because I looked really rough

In a way that calls no bluff

Even though I knew my stuff

Getting into fights being polite

It one of those things day and night

Even though I was always right

Until I seen the bloody light

I was saying what I wanted to say

When I wanted to say

When I wanted to say it

I was doing what I wanted to do

When I wanted to do

When I wanted to do it

I was being what I wanted to be

When I wanted to be

When I wanted to be it

I was playing when I wanted to play 

When I wanted to play

When I wanted to play it

Then all of a sudden the people did stop

Because I wasn't singing any old pop

With loads of booze give us a drop

Or a bottle so I don't stop

In words of rhyme line by line

Come join in any old time

Through the darkness to the sunshine

With a zoot that is fine

I was saying what I wanted to say

When I wanted to say

When I wanted to say it

I was doing what I wanted to do

When I wanted to do

When I wanted to do it

I was being what I wanted to be

When I wanted to be

When I wanted to be it

I was playing when I wanted to play 

When I wanted to play

When I wanted to play it

Getting smashed out in the trash

Hoping for a chance to make some cash

In a way that's totally Flash

Through these words in the ultimate bash

To make it big with a jig

Even though I want a swig

While tripping over a little twig

Oh dear no I need a cig

I was saying what I wanted to say

When I wanted to say

When I wanted to say it

I was doing what I wanted to do

When I wanted to do

When I wanted to do it

I was being what I wanted to be

When I wanted to be

When I wanted to be it

I was playing when I wanted to play 

When I wanted to play

When I wanted to play it

I was feeling the tunes over the moon

Way up in a hot air balloon

Even though its only June

It's OK I'll be back soon

To do what I do

In these words so true

And that's get hammered

Like all of you

I was saying what I wanted to say

When I wanted to say

When I wanted to say it

I was doing what I wanted to do

When I wanted to do

When I wanted to do it

I was being what I wanted to be

When I wanted to be

When I wanted to be it

I was playing when I wanted to play 

When I wanted to play

When I wanted to play it

So come be clever put your hands together

No matter the rain or any weather

And say after me forever and ever

We won't give up no no never

For we are the ones who love fun

Under the stars under the sun

Because we know its got to be done

This is life for everyone

I was saying what I wanted to say

When I wanted to say

When I wanted to say it

I was doing what I wanted to do

When I wanted to do

When I wanted to do it

I was being what I wanted to be

When I wanted to be

When I wanted to be it

I was playing when I wanted to play 

When I wanted to play

When I wanted to play it

I was saying what I wanted to say

When I wanted to say

When I wanted to say it

I was doing what i wanted to do

When I wanted to do

When I wanted to do it

I was being what I wanted to be

When I wanted to be

When I wanted to be it

I was playing when I wanted to play 

When I wanted to play

When I wanted to play it

I was saying what I wanted to say

When I wanted to say

When I wanted to say it

I was doing what i wanted to do

When I wanted to do

When I wanted to do it

I was being what I wanted to be

When I wanted to be

When I wanted to be it

I was playing when I wanted to play 

When I wanted to play

When I wanted to play it

Master Baboon And Hottie The Balloon

Master Baboon was out walking one day,
When something strange, happened I say.
That made him dance and skip along,
To the sound of the trees, whistling a song.

With the sun in the sky, shining so bright.
What a perfect day, what a perfect sight.
When all of a sudden, out of the blue.
Came something large, which grew and grew.

Now was it a bird, or was it a plane,
It couldn’t be, that’s completely insane.
Which came from behind, turning everything black
Even the sun, as a matter of fact.

“Oh no”. “Oh no”. What did I do?
It’s not that time”. He wondered to.
Then turning round, to his surprise,
He saw it big in front of his eyes.

A big balloon with basket below,
Coming at him, ever so slow.
“Hello. Hello and what is your name”,
Said the hot air balloon, ever so game.

“I’m Master Baboon and who are you”.
“I’m Hottie the Balloon, how do you do.
I take people way up in the sky,
So they can feel what its like to fly”.

“Oh Hottie, oh Hottie that sounds like fun”.
“It is, it is, would you like to come”.
“Oh please. Oh please, if your sure”.
“Give me a second and I’ll give you a tour.

Come on then, let’s fly, let’s fly,
Over the trees like birds in the sky”.
Said Hottie the balloon with a smile on his face,
As they left the ground heading for space.

Up, up, up and away,
Over the tree tops and far away.
Feeling the wind touching their face,
Oh what a sight, as the birds gave chase.

“Who’s that, who’s that”? Said Master Crow,
“It couldn’t be, never no.
By Jove it is, its Master Baboon.
And he’s flying in Hotties’ balloon.

How are you, enjoying your trip”.
Said Master Crow doing a back flip.
As Master Baboon watched him fall,
“I’m loving it”. He began to call.

“That’s good, that’s good, and I hope you do,
As life is magic up here to”.
Said Master Crow as he flew away,
“I hope you enjoy the rest of your day”.

“Oh thank you, oh thank you”, said Master Baboon,
Way up high in Hotties’ balloon.
“I hope I do now Master Crow,
Now have a safe journey and mind how you go”.

While seeing the sights from up in the sky,
He couldn’t believe it as he asked himself why.
The people where ants and rivers where snakes,
Why was this as a matter of fact?

With clouds all puffy like smoke in the sky,
With a hardly sound, he asked himself why.
While Hottie he blew to rise even more,
To give Master Baboon a view of the shore.

“Oh look Hottie what’s that I see,
Is that the ocean, or is that the sea”.
“Oh that’s the sea, my fury friend,
So shiny, so beautiful, right to its end”.

“Now those little dots, you see over there,
Those are boats my friend I swear”.
Pointed Hottie down to the sea,
“No way, no way, you’re kidding me”.

“No not at all, I wouldn’t do that”.
Said Hottie the balloon ever so flat.
As he dropped down out of the sky,
To show him the boats that passed them by.

“I see, I see, oh what you mean,
Oh aren’t they beautiful and really clean”.
Said Master Baboon so simple and free,
As they flew over, the boats in the sea.

“Oh what’s that stuff that’s yellow and brown?
That looks like custard spread over the ground”.
“Oh that’s the beach made up of sand,
Which comes between water and land.

“And what are those things that look like ants”.
“Oh those are humans in shorts and pants”.
“What are they doing all lying around”?
“Getting a sun tan so their skin goes brown”.

“Oh I see and those ones there,
They look like chocolate oh yes I swear.
Ever so dark and nearly black,
Are they misfits or a mistake”.

“No not at all it’s the way they are,
So don’t be racist oh by far”.
“Oh sorry mate I didn’t know”.
“Well now you do mind how you go”.

“So I will my little friend.
I’ll watch and learn and not pretend”.
“That’s good to hear now all the same,
But some of them liked to be game.

With guns and ropes, and traps that’s fair,
They’ll hunt and hunt, for you and Bear.
Along as there hungry and need food,
They’ll kill you all which is no good.

“Why is that, now Hottie you see”?
“Because humans are smart beyond you and me.
Even though we all bleed the same,
The humans believe that life is a game”.

“Oh is that right”. “Oh yes believe.
No matter what we need to achieve.
In this life there always on top.
Polluting and Killing and probably won’t stop”.

“Oh I see now Hottie my friend.
But life goes on now in the end.
No matter what we all can do,
We have to help these humans to”.

“Oh yes that’s right we need to do that,
We need to help them and have a good chat.
So we can keep breathing this lovely fresh air,
And keep our world green because we all care”.

Then with that it was time to go,
For Hottie the Balloon I hope you know.
“So bye bye Hottie”. Said Master Baboon.
“I hope I’ll see you some time soon”.

“No worries Mattie, you probably will.
Some time soon for another good thrill”.
“Well bye bye then till the next time”.
And Hottie shot of through the sunshine.

Up, up, up and away,
Went poor Hottie as he flew away.
Over the tree tops like a bird in the sky,
That’s it Hottie bye bye bye.
