Western Sahara and West Papua.
3-TELL ME THE CONTINENTS
(Anise Abdulla)
Tell me the continents, Tell me the continents,
Tell me if you can.
North America, South America,
Africa, Asia, Europe.
Don’t forget Australia, Don’t forget Antarctica.
Tell me the continents. Tell me the continents.
Tell me if you can.
4-North American Countries
Gary Huntbatch (2004)
Chorus.
Let’s get to know the countries of North America.
This vast and beautiful continent many people call their home.
From desserts to snowy mountain tops, lakes and rainforests.
It’s a place to live, a place to play. Sing along make learning fun.
The biggest of these countries is Canada.
Then we have the U.S.A., the land of Uncle Sam.
Greenland is the next in size, though it’s more white than green.
Most of it’s covered in ice and snow. Anytime you can make a snowman. YEA!
Now let’s go to Mexico, a place of happy music.
Then on to central America, to Belize and Guatemala,
Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua,
Costa Rica and at the bottom is Panama
Chorus
The island countries in the Caribbean, Antigua, Barbuda,
Bahamas, Barbados, Dominican Republic, Cuba and Dominica.
St Kits Nevis, St Vincent, Grenadines, Haiti and Granada,
Trinidad Tobago and there’s one more and that would be Jamaica.
We hope that the people in all these countries
Take the time to have some fun
Can you see their laughing faces.

SEVEN SOVEREIGN STATES HAVE MADE CLAIMS ON EIGHT TERRITORIES.
DO PEOPLE LIVE IN ANTARCTICA, YES, THEY DO
DO SCIENTISTS WORK IN ANTARCTICA, YES, YES, THERE ARE A FEW

DO FISH LIVE IN ANTARCTICA? YES THEY DO. ICE FISH LIVE IN ANTARCTICA
AND THEY’RE SUPER COOL. THEY HAVE ANTI-FREEZE SO THEY WON’T EVER SNEEZE
AND THE ICE DOESN’T FORM AND THEIR BLOOD DOESN’T FREEZE.

16 – UNITY ANTHEM
(Gary Huntbatch)
This song is about the people of all of the countries of the world living together peacefully.
In a world where everyone is your friend.
Where everyone has food, shelter and are happy in what they do.
Each country of this peaceful world will fly a new flag of unity along side of their own.
This flag will be a symbol of peace. But first we have to want peace.
Then display peacefulness in our own lives to make it so.
In our great and beautiful land
Its people do unite
To unfurl a flag of unity
With a vision oh so grand
With our flags of unity flying there
Great and glorious banners
A salutation to humanity
As together this world we share
Chorus:
In unity in unity
We are all one in unity
In unity in unity
A world in unity
These flags no one will tear apart
As they fly for all to see
Showing that we are one, can you imagine
A peaceful world with a unified heart
X2 In unity in unity
We are all one in unity
In unity in unity
A world in unity
A world in unity
17 – A ‘PUNNY’ STORY
(Gary Huntbatch)
(A silly song that finds funny meanings to what country names sound like in English.
It is mostly just talking between Gary Q & Mr. I.
In the song there are 30 jokes and puns. Can you find all of them?)
Chorus:
Let’s have some fun and pun awhile. And hope to make you smile.
With a Ho Ho Ho or a Hee Hee Hee. We all like stuff that’s funny.
We hope you enjoyed the CD. Thank you,
Mr. I & Gary Q.
