Here are some new lyrics for ‘Weird and Wonderful’ (from I Wonder…WHY? album) from the Stirk family in Haxby. I think they might be even better than the original ones! Great fact-finding you guys Suzanne

A hungry octopus will eat its own arms - Wow, that’s amazing! Ostriches wee on their legs to cool them down  - Wow, that’s amazing! A shrimp’s heart is in its head - Wow, that’s amazing! Bees don’t have ears but have five eyes - Wow, that’s amazing!

Underneath its fur, a zebra’s all black - Wow, that’s amazing! Leeches have thirty-two brains - Wow, that’s amazing! Fleas drink fifteen times their weight in blood - Wow, that’s amazing! Elephants cannot jump - Wow, that’s amazing!

All the world’s spiders weigh more than us people - Wow, that’s amazing! Giraffe’s hearts work harder than a petrol pump - Wow, that’s amazing! A grasshopper’s ears are on its knees - Wow, that’s amazing! Ten thousand humans are born each hour - Wow, that’s amazing!
