The sheet music of the individual songs recorded on THE DAVID WOOD SONG BOOK cassette is included in the vocal scores of the shows from which they come. I'm afraid there are no single copies of songs available.
However, when some of the plays toured with Whirligig Theatre, schools often asked for the sheet music of certain songs, particularly those with an environmental theme. So we prepared copies and supplied them as an educational resource. The following songs are still available:
 WHEN WILL WE LEARN? from The Selfish Shellfish
 Sample lyric:
When will we learn?
When will we learn
That the world wasn't made for only you and me?
When will we learn?
When will it be?
When will we learn?
When will we see?
 Will we ever stop polluting
The rivers and the seas?
Will we ever stop destroying
The forests and the trees?
When will we learn?
When will we see?
When will we learn?
How long must we wait?
And if we do learn
Will it be too late?
Price: £3.00 including postage
THE SEE-SAW TREE from the play of the same name
 Sample lyric:
Sing the story of the see-saw tree
Standing proud and free
Such a sight to see
May we always share
With the creatures living there
The story of the glory of
The see-saw tree
A long time ago a squirrel found
An acorn and buried it in the ground
Came the rain and the sun on the fertile earth
And the story had begun with an oak tree's birth
Price: £3.00 including postage
THE CODE OF THE GNOMES and USE YOUR EYES AND EARS from The Ideal Gnome Expedition (and the tv series Chish 'n' Fips)
The story of two garden gnomes, this play/tv series includes THE CODE OF THE GNOMES (also the tv theme tune), about helpfulness.
 Sample lyric: 
If anyone's in trouble or in a mess
If anyone's unhappy, unwell or in distress
It's up to us! It's up to us!
It's up to us! It's up to us!
With no fuss it's up to us
To help him on his way
It's up to us! It's up to us!
It's up to us! It's up to us!
The code of the gnomes
We must obey
Particularly popular was the road safety song, USE YOUR EYES AND EARS
BIG ONES ARE YOU LISTENING? was written for the tv series. It is an anti-litter song. The reaction to it was very encouraging, so we included it in the stage play when it toured for a second time.
Sample lyric:
Big ones are you listening?
You're a messy lot
Clogging up the gutters
With your garbage and your grot
Leave your rubbish
In some other place
Big ones are you listening?
You're a disgrace!
Half sucked oranges
Squashed fizzy drink cans
Pizza boxes, lolly sticks
Littering the street
 Bus tickets, apples cores
Cheese and onion crisp bags
Screwed up chewy sweet wrappers
Sticking to our feet
Please won't you stop it?
Please don't just drop it
Find a litter bin
And throw the litter in
Price: £3.00 including postage
SAVE THE HUMAN is a play about animal rights. Roles are reversed; animals now rule the world and human beings are pets and used for scientific experiments. The sheet music of two songs is available.
SAVE THE HUMAN is the anthem of the altruistic young animals who try to prevent the extinction of the human race.
Sample lyric:
Save the human
He won't die
If we try to
Save the human
Let him be
Set him free
Save the human
Let's be fair
Show we care and
Save the human
End this crime
While there's time
Mammals and reptiles
Birds of a feather
The moment has come
To stand together
Hot-blooded, cold-blooded
Insects, fish
Join as one
To make this wish
ROCK 'N' ROAR is the song sung by The Pride (a rock group featuring lions) at HumanAid, the mammoth concert beamed worldwide to publicise the SAVE THE HUMAN message.
 Sample lyric: I wanna rock 'n' roar
I wanna rock 'n' roar
I wanna get back to the jungle
Like I did before
I wanna rock 'n' roar
I wanna rock 'n' roar
I wanna turn back the clock
And do it some more
Price for both songs: £3.00 including postage
