We Are Five
King Ethelbaird: What you might heard is true
We are no longer just two, we are five
Crowd: You are five?
King Ethelbaird: A flock of storks flew down and arranged there on the ground, three baskets
Crowd: THREE BASKETS!!?
King Ethelbaird: With a delivery that has changed our world
Three beautiful baby girls
So I hereby decree
That this day will be an annual celebration
Crowd member/s: Congratulations Sire and Ma’am
They say that good things come
In threes
(And we agree!!!!)
We know you’ll make the finest parents
Cos you’ve been just like parents
To me
And me and me and me and me
Crowd member: We want the princesses to know
We’ll support them as they grow
And from this day forth they have our love
Crowd: “GOD SAVE THE KING, QUEEN AND FAMILY!!!!!”
Narrator: Now can we have three cheers for the King and Queen (Hip hip Hooray!)
And can we have three cheers for the three princesses (Hip hip Hooray!)
And can we have three cheers for everyone here tonight (Hip hip Hooray!)
Enjoy the celebrations!!!
Crowd: Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
Narrator: King Ethelbaird cares for everyone, from the Queen down to the pawn and now his name is guaranteed to live on and on and on.

There’s a Darkness Sweeping Over the Land
Oh, there’s a darkness sweeping over the land
Oh, there’s a darkness sweeping over the land and I don’t understand
What’s happened to light and colour
The Sun would shine at harvest time
I used to love that nursery rhyme
But now I’m sad when I hear that church bell chime
Oh, there’s a darkness sweeping over the land and I don’t understand

I’ll ‘ave That (Goblin Song)
I’ll ‘ave that
Thank you very much
Sadness and sorrow comes to everything we touch
Oops a daisy,
Don’t mind if I do
I’ll wipe that smile right off your face (Boo hoo!)
Give that ‘ere
Your smile from ear to ear
You won’t be needin’ that no more my dear (oh dear!)
Well, whaddaya know!
Didn’t see it go?
I picked the smile from right under ‘is nose! (pick-pocket)
What we gonna do with all your laughter?
Where we gonna put your ‘appiness?
We’ll chuck it in the dungeon
Throw away the key
Till smiles and fun are no more than a di-stant me-mo-ry
Ha ha ha ha BANG!
Ha ha ha ha CRASH!
Ha ha ha ha WALLOP!

We Are Witches
We are witches
We’ll have you in stitches
Cos’ we are stand up comics in our spare time
Now you might be thinking “Wait, they’re hardly Catherine Tate!”
But you’ll feel it when we hit you with the punchline
Don’t heckle us
‘Cos someone tried before
So we cast on them a Babbling Curse
And don’t throw tomatoes
Cos’ someone tried that too and now they
Live in the Amphibian House
CHORUS
We’re witches
Which is fine by us
Our broomsticks will take us where we like
We’re witches
Witches one and all
We’re really having such a crystal ball
And if you meet us
Don’t be scared
We’ll prob’ly try and make you laugh
But if you don’t laugh
There’s a spell for that too
So you’d better laugh now if you know what’s good for you
Ha ha ha

There’s Not A Lot You Can Do
Sing with me
A melody
On the breeze
Through the trees
Catch the ear
Of someone near
When our song finds you
There’s not a lot you can do
Amaryllis/Begonia
Columbine/Delphinium
Eglantine/Fuchsia
Gardenia/Hortensia
Catch the eye (don't be shy)
Of someone nearby
When our beauty blinds you
There’s not a lot you can do
If you smell our perfume from a distance
Follow the path of least resistance
Come be with us oh come
When our fragrance spellbinds you
There’s not a lot you can do
When Wood Sprites set their sights on you
There’s not a lot you can do

The Wizard Is Nowhere The Wizard Is Everywhere
You’ve done the right thing and confessed
You’ve been presented with this quest
Now do as these wise men suggest
And leave today
The Wild Wood is a scary place
Where sirens call and wolves will chase you
Leave a breadcrumb trail in case
You lose your way
You have to find this wizard
Wherever he may be
Is he residing in a bush
Or hiding in a tree?
Good luck, take care
Look out, beware
The Wizard is nowhere
The Wizard is everywhere
We’re setting off to find a wizard
Where do wizards dwell
I guess they could be anywhere
They’d only have to cast a spell
So given such as choice
Where would wizards be
A wizard was ‘eard once in Wales
And once in Waikiki
We’re setting off to find a wizard
Where are wizards from
I suppose they could be anywhere
All they’d do is wave their wand
So given such as choice
Where would wizards stay
A wizard was ‘eard once in Windsor
Once in Whitley Bay
You have to find this wizard
Wherever he may be
Is he residing in a bush
Or hiding in a tree?
Good luck, take care
Look out, beware
The Wizard is nowhere
The Wizard is everywhere

A Fairytale Ending
{CHORUS}
Happy, happy happy Ever After
With a fairy, a fairy, a fairytale ending
Happy, happy happy Ever After
With a fairy, a fairy, a fairytale ending
With the rightful King restored, we are starting a new chapter
Now happiness and laughter have returned
Everybody here today can be one big family
And agree that many lessons have been learned
Let Waylon Wizard know that he’s served us well
Made the princesses realise their wrongs
And we also know with a quick magic spell
He can make you sing the chorus of this song….ooooooh
{CHORUS}
Let the Wood Sprites realise that their music is adored
Let the Witches sweep the board at the comedy awards
Let the Goblins make a deal that it’s better not to steal
Let the Wolves come round for tea and think of us as friends and not the meal!…oooooh
{CHORUS x2}
Let the King, Queen and Princesses know, we totally adore you so
Your family is not just five, it’s everybody here tonight with an…ooooooooh!
{CHORUS}
