[Verse] What can we do with a little bit of wood? Make a tiny boat? No, that’s no good! Could we build a bridge for an ant to walk? Or a telephone pole for a snail to talk? Let’s paint it pink, or green, or blue, Stick it to a chair with a tube of glue! We’ll wobble it here, we’ll shake it there, A little bit of wood can go anywhere! [Chorus] Whittle it, tap it, smash it about! Turn it to a stick or a spoon or a spout! Give it a wiggle, give it a spin, What can we do with the wood in your bin? Chop it, bop it, glue it and grin! Make it a puppet with a cheeky chin! Oh, the possibilities—aren’t they grand? With a little bit of wood in your hand! [Verse] Could it be a bat for a bumblebee game? Or a flag for a castle made of sugar and jam? Maybe a ruler for a worm in school, Or a megaphone horn for a mole to sound cool! We’ll sand it smooth, or carve it rough, A little bit of wood’s just the right stuff! From a twig to a log, it’s fun galore, You’ll never know what it’s destined for! [Chorus] Whittle it, tap it, smash it about! Turn it to a stick or a spoon or a spout! Give it a wiggle, give it a spin, What can we do with the wood in your bin? Chop it, bop it, glue it and grin! Make it a puppet with a cheeky chin! Oh, the possibilities—aren’t they grand? With a little bit of wood in your hand! [Bridge (Spoken, with funky bassline) ] Oi, mate! What’s that in your hand? Oh, just a bit of wood, nothing planned. Nothing planned?! Are you mad? That’s the best bit of wood I’ve ever had! You can turn it into… uh… a kazoo! Or, I dunno, a table for a shrew! Come on now, don’t be shy, Let’s give that little wood a try! [Chorus Key Change Chorus (BIG FINISH)] Whittle it, tap it, smash it about! Turn it to a stick or a spoon or a spout! Give it a wiggle, give it a spin, What can we do with the wood in your bin? Chop it, bop it, glue it and grin! Make it a puppet with a cheeky chin! Oh, the possibilities—aren’t they grand? With a little bit of wood in your hand! [Repeat to fade with audience clapping and a kazoo solo.]
