In discussion food and gardening and other things this one group of 1-2s at school got on to the topic of how food is vital for life, and that led to discussing the other things that are just as necessary. This song, about the five basic survival needs (food, water, air, shelter and sleep) is the result. It might sound like a fairly extreme topic, but the song is actually quite positive and lively!

Here are the lyrics:

The Fantastic Five

{Verse 1}

Water; you should drink it, it’s helps you stay alive
Eating food makes you feel good and helps you too survive
You have to breathe: oxygen is something else you need
Take shelter from nasty weather and each night you need to sleep!

{Chorus}

These are the five things you need to stay alive
If you plan to survive you will need this fantastic five!

{Verse 2}

Water keeps you cool; it’s better than soft-drink
If you eat healthy food it’s easier to think
Smoke’s bad for your lungs, breathing it’s not fun
Always wear sensible clothing and sleep’s good for everyone

{Chorus}

These are the five things you need to stay alive
If you plan to survive you will need this fantastic five!

{Instrumental break followed by a break down}

Water!
Food!
Air!
Shelter!
Sleep!

{Chorus}

These are the five things you need to stay alive
If you plan to survive you will need this fantastic five!
