Verse 1
(All) Let's build a raft,
That's not quite as daft as it appears.
We'll get to share
Plenty of fresh air and good ideas!
Each of us has hidden skills
And talents never seen,
Here's the chance to be much more
Than we have ever been!
Verse 2
(All) Let's build a raft,
That's not quite as daft as it might seem.
We'll work as one
And so will become a winning team!
We'll be strong and we'll dig deep,
We'll brave the wet and cold.
Shoulders back, we'll grit our teeth
And strive towards our goal!
Verse 3
(Instructors) OK! Think of what needs doing.
Come 0n, get organized!
Do a proper job, or
Your raft just might capsize!
Someone fetch the barrels
And someone find the wood.
Someone draw a blueprint,
And choose someone who's good
At tying things together,
And someone who can think
Of ways that you can test it
To make sure it won't sink.
Right! So let's get started
And have a crack at this.....
(Children) Actually, on second thoughts,
We might give it a miss!
