Early Years songwriting workshop for the Clifton and Burton Green Early Years Partnership Fun Day at Homestead Park, York.
What Did We Did We Do At Homestead Park?
(To the Tune of ‘She’ll Be Coming Round The Mountain’ or ‘If You’re Happy And You Know It’)
What did we do at Homestead Park?
What did we do at Homestead Park?
We rode upon a donkey
And the donkey it was wonky
A wonky donkey in a park!
What did we do at Homestead Park?
What did we do at Homestead Park?
We played in the sand
Then went inside a police van
Had our fingerprints taken for a lark
Singing Homestead Park, what a day!
Singing Homestead Park, hip-hip hooray!
Singing Homestead Park, Homestead Park
We’ll be coming back again another day
What did we do at Homestead Park?
What did we do at Homestead Park?
We went to the forest school
We played with clay and it was cool
We made sure that we left our mark
What did we do at Homestead Park?
What did we do at Homestead Park?
We blew bubbles in the air
They went round and round up there
We watched them float around the park
Singing Homestead Park…
What did we do at Homestead Park?
What did we do at Homestead Park?
We rode upon the train
Then we rode on it again
It went “toot toot!” loudly round the park
What did we do at Homestead Park?
What did we do at Homestead Park?
There were plants in tubs and pails
And Giant African Land Snails
And sculptures mad of logs and bark
Singing Homestead Park…
What did we do at Homestead Park?
What did we do at Homestead Park?
We bought then ate iced biscuits
We saw tortoises, snakes and lizards
But sadly, we never saw a shark!
What did we do at Homestead Park?
What did we do at Homestead Park?
We played music and sang songs
And turned the fire engine lights on
Then we went home before it got too dark
Singing Homestead Park…
