WHOLE SCHOOL PRODUCTION SONGS
THE SANDCASTLE SONG
It’s a sunny summer day,
And we’re playing on the beach.
We hear the crashing of the waves.
We can hear the seagulls screech.
CHORUS
We’re building a sandcastle.
We’re gonna make it fine.
We’re building a sandcastle.
It’s yours and it’s mine.
And now we’re going to decorate,
With shells and seaweed.
Get some sticks for the gate.
The beach has ev’rything we need.
CHORUS
Castles on the beach.
Castles in the air.
You know they’re never out of reach.
Because there’s lots and lots of time to share.
Build a castle with your friends.
Build a castle on the sand.
We are all kings and queens,
In the sandcastle land.
If someone knocks our castle down,
Or the waves wash it away,
We can build another one,
Because we’ve all come here to play and play.
CHORUS (X2)
It’s yours and it’s mine.
TOHEROA TWIST
Round and around and around and around,
Into the sand he burrows down and down. (x2)
Do the toheroa twist with me. (x3)
I can make peace on earth, with my own two hands.
I can clean up the earth, with my own two hands.
I can reach out to you, with my own two hands.
With my own, with my own two hands.
With my own, with my own two hands.
They dig in the beach.
With their hands and feet,
But….they’ll never, never, never,
Never, never, never,
Never be able to reach him as he…
…twists and turns,
Like a spinning top,
As he goes deeper, deeper, deeper,
Deeper, deeper, deeper,
Till it looks like he’s never going to stop.
I’m going to make it a brighter place, with my own
two hands.
I’m going to make it a safer place, with my own two
hands.
I’m going to help the human race, with my own two
hands.
With my own, with my own two hands.
With my own, with my own two hands.
Do the toheroa twist with me. (x3)
Round and around and around and around,
Into the sand he burrows down and down. (x2)
Do the toheroa twist with me. (x3)
I can hold you, in my own two hands.
And I can comfort you, with my own two hands.
But you’ve got to use, use your own two hands.
Use your own, use your own two hands.
Use your own, use your own two hands.
All the mums and dads,
And the children too,
Come and they dig-a, dig-a, dig-a
Dig-a, dig-a, dig-a,
Dig with ev’rything they have.
And there’s a truck,
From the fisherman’s shop,
But….he’s leaving, yes he’s leaving,
Sick and tired of digging,
He’s never dug a toheroa out.
Do the toheroa twist with me. (x4)
WITH MY OWN TWO HANDS
I can change the world, with my own two hands.
Make it a better place, with my own two hands.
Make it a kinder place, with my own two hands.
With my own, with my own two hands.
With our own, our own two hands.
With our own, our own two hands.
With my own, with my own two hands.
MADE IN NEW ZEALAND
Come take a walk with me,
Look at all the places there are to see.
Come on over,
Watch your step on the way down,
Follow us, we’ll show you around
…Listen carefully
….and you’ll see we’re
Made in New Zealand.
Put together in our kiwi factory.
Just add a smile, kiwi can do and a load of humour.
A pinch of silver fern and some aroha
Wrapped up like fish’n’chips
At the bottom of the world.
Come take a ride with me.
We’ll introduce you to our family.
All the world’s people catch the kiwi syndrome
And come together to call this home.
…Listen carefully
….and you’ll see we’re

CRUISING ON THE INTERISLANDER
I packed my bags,
I turned the key.
Can’t get away too soon.
Hand me my hat, I’m ready to go.
So many things to see and do.
CHORUS
Cruisin’ on the Interislander,
Takin’ my time, I’m feelin’ fine.
Cruisin’ on the Interislander,
I’m sailin’ to the other side.
I’m on my way, I’m goin’ home,
See my friends and my family.
Yeah I’m getting away,
And I just wanna say,
They’re the ones that mean the most to me.
I packed my bags.
I turned the key.
Can’t get away too soon
Hey hand me my hat, I’m ready to go,
So many things to see and do.
I’m cruisin’ on the Interislander,
I’m off to see my mother.
Have you met my brother?
Yep I’ll have another.
What a way to start a holiday,
Sailin’ to the other side.
Cruisin’ on the Interislander.
I’m takin’ my time.
I’m feelin’ fine.
Cruisin’ on the Interislander.
I’m sailin’ to the other side.
