It has been a while since I posted a blog entry – life with two boys is busy as you might imagine, so it hasn’t left a lot of time to write.
Our eldest turned three years old last month, which made me think how quickly time goes with children around – in hypnosis we call it ‘Time Distortion’ (which, by the way, is also a very useful technique to help change your perception of contractions in labour too).
It also means that the Blissful Birth programme is three years old now – and still going strong. Thanks to everyone who has purchased the programme over the last few years, and for telling your friends too.
It’s not much in the way of a return favour, but those of you who have already been through the Blissful Birth programme and have children will probably already know about ‘Handy Manny’ – which airs on Playhouse Disney.
Our eldest loves the programme (he even had Handy Manny plates and cups at his party), as well as the songs they sing. So after some fruitless googling for the lyrics, I decided to do a public service and put them here.
Those of you who are still pregnant will thank me one day 🙂
“Work Together”
Let’s get going and fix it right,
Twist and turn, make it tight,
Trabajamos juntos (← ‘we work together’)
we work together now.
Cut it, measure em, tap it flat,
Bend and twist, just like that,
Each of us has a special job,
We work together – Todos juntos (← ‘everyone together’)
We can fix it right!
“Let’s get to work”
Uno, Dos, Tres, Cuatro, Cinco, Seis, Siete, Ocho, (Neuve)
Hop up jump in,
Come on let’s go
Hop up jump in
Si vamanos (← ‘yes, lets go!’)
Hop up jump in
Don’t move too slow – keep up!
Let’s get to work
Muy rapido! (← ‘quickly!’)
Bye for now,
Heidi
Ps – Glad to have these? Think I’ve finally gone mad? Did I miss something? Leave your feedback below!
thanks for these have been wondering what they were for a while!
My 5 year old is well into Handy Manny, and I now have the tune to “work together” going around and around in my head, so it helps to actually have the words to add!
Ah – parenting!
@fran – you are welcome!
@Stu – it’s a horribly addictive tune isn’t it!
Thanks! You’re not the only one out there who wanted to know the lyrics!!

I have been wondering for so long what these lyrics were. Thanks..I think now I am singing them! Arrrgh!
Thanks for posting the correct lyrics. I usually print all the songs that my 5 year old son loves. It’s fun to sing along while watching it 🙂
Thank you for this, i also have these tunes in my head because i get to hear every morning before going to work.. and you gotta admit theyr pretty catchy!
I’ve heard it so many times with my 2 yr old but couldn’t
quite catch the Spanish – It still sounds like there’s something
between trabajamos y juntos in Work together as I watch it on my
own after putting him to bed. 🙂 Thank you so much –
