Hi Sing Up Porter and Mrs Rayner, we're glad you're enjoying the song!

The full backing track and full arrangement accompaniment are both available to download if you have full access to our resources. Due to funding and copyright restrictions, full access is only available to certain registered 'user types' - those who work professionally with school-age children in mainland England. Other users still have access to all of the Public Domain songs on the Song Bank, our videos and news stories and online versions of our magazines.

this is a good song but if people listen to it and want to sing to it they will not be able to because it they will not know when to start so perhaps if they had the full one instead and hi mrs rayner its samuel porter that came to breakfast club when i was in year 6 with jessica mc bride
