My Family name is Button. My first name is Jim.
My best friend is Lukas and everyone knows him.

We both live on an island and this is my address:
Number 1, Main Street. That´s easy, I guess.

Everybody needs a name.
Every child, woman and man.
Everybody needs a home
That he can call his own.

It´s just a tiny island in the middle of the sea.
But this is where my friends live and so it´s home to me.

Jim, Lukas, Emma – it´s good to have a name.
And if you haven´t got one, life is not the same.

Everybody needs a name.
Every child, woman and man.
Everybody needs a home
That he can call his own.

What´s your name?
It´s easy, listen:
Give us a J – J.
Give us a I – I .
Give us an M – M.
My name is Jim!
Jim Button.

Everybody needs a name.
Every child, woman and man.
Everybody needs a home
That he can call his
That he can call his
That he can call his own.

You need money to buy a coat.
You need a lot of money to buy a car,
And even more money to buy a boat!

You need money to ride on a train.
A little bit of money to buy a book.
You need money to fly to Spain.                    

Money.
Money.

Money – dollars.
Money – euros.
Money – pounds.
Money – pesetas.
Money – yen.
Money – rupees.
Money – pesos.
Money – lis.

Money can´t buy you everything.
It can´t buy you love and happiness.
But money can buy you lots of things,
I guess – well, yes.

Cos´ you need money to buy a radio.
You need money to rent a flat.
You need money for clothes and jewellery.
You need money to feed the cat.

But you don´t need money to breathe the air.
You don´t need money to go for a walk.
You don´t need money to sing this sing.
You don´t need money to think and talk.

Money can´t buy you everything.
But money makes the world go round!

Welcome. Please take a seat....

Would you like to try this meat?
Cockroach steak with chicken feet?                         
Or perhaps some roasted snails,
Mixed with squirrel´s tails?

Or chocolate cheese on toasted bees, horse´s hair in banana sauce,
Frogtail soup, cabbage pudding for the second course?

I could also offer you
Caterpiller cream in dead-leaf stew.
Spider´s leg with beetle´s ear,
Baked in oak-tree beer.

Or fishes eyes, earthworm pies, candied bugs with lobster cake,
Tadpole tongue, juicy seaweed with a pinch of snake.

It´s so delicious!
It´s so delicious!

So please take a seat....

You might like for a start
Jellyfish nose in mushroom tart.
Ancient eggs, cactus chips,
Cooked in pumpkin pips.

What you eat is what you are. What you are is what you eat.
There´s so much to discover. So kindly take a seat…

It´s so delicious!
It´s so delicious!

It´s so delicious!
It´s so delicious!

And does you good!

Sometimes when I´m angry
With people who annoy me,
I just start to call them silly things:
Like “Don´t be such a mumbling pig!”
Or “You look like a mouldy fig!”
Or “Fly away, tiny chicken-wings!”

My mother always told me:
Don´t you curse and swear!
Being rude and rowdy
Won´t get you anywhere!

Bad language. Don´t use it, my son!
Bad language. Listen to me:
If you want to curse and swear,
Do it pleasantly.

So to please my Mother
I just think up other
Phrases that don´t really sound so bad,
Like “Who are you, pumpkin head?”
Or “Pillow, just go back to bed!”
Or “You remind me of my hamster´s dad!”

My mother always told me:
Don´t you curse and swear!
Being rude and rowdy
Won´t get you anywhere!

Bad language. Don´t use it, my son!
Bad language. Listen to me:
If you want to curse and swear,
Do it pleasantly.

With humour!
With imagination!
With fantasy!
