LYRICS:
Come with me from your settee
On a journey into children's television
On CBBC, a horrible history
Of your favourite transmissions
The shows were short and slow
So long ago
Watch With Mother and For the Children
They made superstars of Bill and Ben
Though we never got much sense from them
But as the time passed, we had a blast
With colour, cartoons and strange creatures
From Tweenies and Teletubbies
To hanging out with Tracy Beaker
Switch that TV on and we'll be gone
On a journey into children's television
On CBBC, a horrible history
Of your favourite transmissions
From one day a week to every night
And don't forget Saturday Morning
On so many shows it's chaos, you know
So much fun they needed a warning ("do not try this at home")
Gunging those celebrities and sparying them with goo
When we were shouting 'bogies' you would shout it too.
When not at home, watch on your phone
You can view us everywhere
Always something new, shows made just for you
Lifelong friends who are always there.
