"We'll jump right back in by and by.
Fatty's head will soon mend,
Though it may be the end
'Oh voice of Spring of Youth
hearts mad delight,
Sing on, sing on, and when the sun is gone
I'll warm me with your echoes
through the night.'

It was a nuisance. An adventure was one thing - but an adventure without anything to eat was quite another thing. That wouldn't do at all. (The Valley of Adventure)

When the Five got into a fix
Because someone stole their Lego bricks,
'Oh voice of Spring of Youth
hearts mad delight,
Sing on, sing on, and when the sun is gone
I'll warm me with your echoes
through the night.'

George stamped and she pouted
Coz her rules had been flouted,

Sing on, sing on, and when the sun is gone
I'll warm me with your echoes
through the night.'

George insisted on taking her bike,
