VERSE 1
Way up in the mountains of the
Great Dividing Range
Lives a little skiing possum, Pippy is her name
Now a skiing possum you may laugh and say,
"that I'd like to see"
Well lets get her out, let’s everyone shout;
one, two, three!
CHORUS 1
Pippy Possum! Show us how it's done
I love it when you teach me things,
whoa it's so much fun
Like how to turn properly, how to stop
while we ski
Can you show me can you please, you're a
cool possum Pippy
VERSE 2
Now Pippy Possum loves it when she hears us
sing her song
From behind her rock she will pop out
and dance along
Now a dancing possum's one thing on that
we all agree
But if you think she's neat on those two back feet
Well just wait until you see her on skis!
CHORUS 2
Pippy Possum! Show us how it’s done
I love it when you teach me things,
whoa it’s so much fun
Like how to turn properly, how to stop
while we ski
Can you show me can you please, you’re
a cool possum Pippy
MIDDLE SECTION RANT
CHORUS 3
Pippy Possum! Show us how it’s done!
I love it when we ski with you,
whoa you’re so much fun!
Now we can turn properly, we can jump
while we ski
And we can even miss the trees, you’re a cool
possum Pippy
You’re a cool possum Pippy
You’re a cool possum Pippy
You’re a way cool possum Pippy

Keep things cool

VERSE 1
Well there is an animal that lives up this mountain
Her name is Pippy and she's really counting on you
To keep things cool, so lets make up some nice
little rules
VERSE 2
The first one might be that we have to take care of
All the Pygmy Possums that live up there oh
Next could be that we'd like to see
Everyone keeping this place as clean as can be
VERSE 3
By picking up rubbish if you thought you saw some
Just like Pippy does 'cause she's really awesome
Another one could be, use renewable energy
VERSE 4
That comes from the sun and the wind
and the snow
Oh yes Pippy thinks that's the way to go
We’ve got to take care of this place
And set an example for the whole human race
VERSE 5
Now another nice thing that comes to mind
Is to care for each other and always be kind to
All the humans, animals and plants and trees
Living up here harmoniously
SPOKEN
Oh it’s so nice up here, oh with all the trees
and the animals and all our friends.
Oh it’s so cool. Oh look, there’s some scientists
VERSE 6
Now the scientists call Pippy Burramys Parvus
But no matter what you call her we think she's
marvelous and cute
And full of fun, and she loves everyone!
VERSE 7
Yes we love it up here with all our friends
And we're wishing that our time here
would never end
So by doing everything above, we'll always get
to sing this song with love
Are you ready to sing? Yeah!
CHORUS
I don't want to go
I want to stay in the snow whoa a oh
No I don't want to go
I want to stay and play in the snow oh,
whoa a oh oh
