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
 

Wwitch 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.
