Lyrics
Now I sometimes go up to my daughter Michaela's school
Expressing the singer's occasional visits to his daughter's school.
And sing to her class
Describing how the singer performs for his daughter's class.
And they're all about seven years old
Noting the age of the children in the class (around seven years old).
And I'd been doing it for about three or four months
Indicating the duration (three or four months) the singer has been performing at the school.
And I noticed that the kids were looking a bit bored
Observing the children's boredom during the performances.
They were fiddling around and wanted to get up and walk about
Describing the kids' restlessness, wanting to move around.
And on the way home in the car Michaela was with her friend
Reflecting on a conversation with the singer's daughter, Michaela, and her friend in the car.
And I said "What songs can we sing that you'd be interested in?
Asking the children for song suggestions, expressing willingness to sing songs they are interested in.
Any special songs you'd like to hear?"

And they started giggling and when they got back
Noting the children's giggling and their decision to write down words they want in songs.
They said they were going to write out some words

That they wanted to hear in songs that would make them interested in the classroom
The purpose of the words is to make the classroom more engaging.
Then they presented me with this list
