    If you'd like to have the hard copy of this album, it comes with a children's book that I wrote and painted. It tells a story to express the magic of music and how it is available to everyone. I had so much fun creating this book, and I hope you enjoy it.

lyrics

I’ve been carrying a backpack
All day long with me
Gathering some amazing things
That I happened to see

First I’ll pull out this feather
It is very light
Feathers’ help the birds to stay warm
And help them to control their flight

Oh ooo, ooo
You know the whole world is a treasure chest
Yeah, ooo, ooo
And everything has got its own cool story

So let’s keep exploring this backpack
‘cause it sure is interesting
Here’s a heavy fist-sized
Pink and white and black speckled thing

It’s a rock called Granite
Made from Earth’s magma core
Pushing up to the surface of the Earth
But hardening before it gets there

[chorus]
[whistle over one full verse chords]

ohh, yes this treasure chest is filled with such beauty
filled with creatures like Giant Flying Foxes
and Sea Cucumbers, and Stick-bugs
and bioluminescent microorganisms

But let’s get back to this backpack
‘cause I’ve got one more treat
this one you can find in the trees
and you can find them at your feet

It is brown and prickly
And filled with lots of seeds
Yes I’m talkin’ bout a pine cone
They are how we get new pine trees

[chorus 2x]
And that’s why, that’s why, that’s why…
It’s so great to take care of the Earth
That’s why…
I love to recycle and compost
That’s why…
I love to grow my own food and share it with others…

Hi there sweet pea, would you like to eat a sugarsnap pea from my garden? It tastes so much sweeter to share it with you sweetie…

Welcome to the music of Lesley & the Flying Foxes. We make music that celebrates life and learning and silliness! Some of the songs are wild, some are gentle, some have that big band swing feel, and others are more folky. Whatever the groove, we hope that these songs get the kids AND the adults singing, dancing, and feeling good! ... more
