Badger Song
02:07
|

|
B is for boars and sows together
living in burrows below the ground
A for amusing, playful, clever
making scratchy schnuffling sounds
D is for digging for their prey
worms rodents berries nuts
G is great! Black, white, grey
living right here - it’s very good luck!
E for exploring through the night
while endearing badger cubs play
R for relaxing in the darkness
of the burrow through the day
Badgers badgers
Powerful and stout
Badgers badgers
Living underground
Symbols of the
Great British Isles
Badgers badgers
Badgers make me smile
B! Britain’s beautiful badgers
change their bedding every day
A! Ancient age-old creatures
50 million years they say
D! Delicious slugs and berries
Badgers like them on their plate
G! Ground - beneath it all day
for the moonlight they will wait
E! Entrance to the burrow
some have more than 50
R! Rulers of the forest
won’t you sing along with me?
Chorus
B….
A….
D….
G….
E….
R….
BADGER!

Water Vole Song
02:33
|
|||
|
Living by the river or a glistening stream
Found in 5s working as a team
Looks like a rat but don’t believe that
Water voles are nearly a distant dream
Reedbeds wetlands and marshes gone
These were the sanctuary - this was home
Chestnut fur and rounded nose
The door to the water vole is nearly closed
Chorus
It’s up to us
To set the goals
Bring back the wetlands
To save the water voles
It’s up to us
We’re on a role
Clean up our rivers
To save the water voles now
Clutching to a leaf nibbling at a stem
Diving in the water- hear a ‘plop’ from them
Digging their burrows in steep grassy banks
Defenders of the water vole we give our thanks
Chorus
This is about the future
All water-voles gone
Stop all this madness
Before the world goes wrong x 2
It’s up to us
To reach our goals
Care for our water ways
save the water voles
It’s up to us
To reach our goals
(Care for our water ways
Save the water voles x2)

Otter Song
03:47
|
|||
|
Living wild by the bank
Fishing all day long
The winding North Tyne they thank
Singing their sweet song
Playing brightly in the stream
Chasing salmon and the eel
Swimming in the crystal lake
How good must that feel?
Bridge
The dark skies and the shining stars
Hovering above them
The night will be long for us
If we don’t protect them
Chorus
Nearly lost forever
(Splash splish, nibble swish)
Otters nearly gone
(Splash splish, nibble swish)
Nearly lost forever
(Splash splish, nibble swish)
Silence was their song
(Splash splish, nibble swish)
People jump to action
(Pitter pat, habitat clean up)
To make the river clean
(Pitter pat, habitat clean up)
People jump to action
(Pitter pat, habitat clean up)
Baby kits are seen
(Pitter pat, habitat clean up)
Swimming in the choppy sea
How far can they go?
Swimming in the secret place
Only otters know
Bridge
Chorus
Living wild by the bank
Fishing all day long
The winding North Tyne they thank
Singing their sweet song
