THE FREE KIDS' SHIMMY SHAKE

HENRY

I got your telepathic call
In my brand new crystal ball
Volcano Boy has grown too strong
And your back's up against the wall

HENRY, MILO, SERAFINA, LUCIE

Things are looking pretty bad
And you're not sure what to do
But don't you worry Mom and Dad
The kids are gonna come through
Yeah, the kids are gonna come through.

HENRY

For a second there we tripped and fell
But now the kids are doing swell
I broke the wizard's nasty spell
With my own little silver bell

HENRY, MILO, SERAFINA, LUCIE

Now we're racing through the air
Riding on a friendly cloud
So Mom and Dad please don't despair
Your kids are gonna do you proud
Yeah, your kids are gonna do you proud.

HENRY, ALL THE KIDS

When we first drove up to the house that grey December dawn
Henry he could see that there was magic going on
Then Bubsy Beals and Crafty Foxx they trapped us in the lake
But now we're all awake
With a bold rescue to make
And a demon's hide to bake
So hurry up for goodness sake
We're clear and free, so dance with me c'mon
Do the free kids shimmy shake
C'mon, do the free kids shimmy shake.
Uh uh uh uh!

SERAFINA, LUCIE, MADELINE, LILY

Shake, shake, shooby-dooby-doop
Shake, shake, shooby-dooby-doop

(And the kids dance crazily on the Cloud, forgetting for a minute their anxiety in their relief at being free and their excitement at travelling on a flying cloud.)

HENRY

Hey little Jack now don't you know, sometimes you just gotta let go
Hey little Jack now don't you know, sometimes you just gotta let go

(Now LITTLE JACK, who had been standing apart and biting his nails, finally joins in the dancing.)

HENRY, MILO, FELIX

Hey little Jack now don't you know, sometimes you just gotta let go
Hey little Jack now don't you know, sometimes you just gotta let go

HENRY
(to audience)

If you wondered what the real deal was,
It was Bubsy all along

MILO, LUCIE

Volcano Boy was just his pawn
It was Bubsy done us wrong

HENRY, SERAFINA

And now we fly at lightning speed
Not a second to delay

ALL THE KIDS

So Mom and Dad you'll soon be freed
The kids are gonna save the day
Yeah, the kids are gonna save the day.

LUCIE, MADELINE, LILY

And Teacher Tess is with us too, she found her smile at last
A silver bell and Henry's spell have freed her from the past
Well Bubsy Beals and Crafty Foxx they trapped us in the lake

ALL THE KIDS

But now we're all awake
With a bold rescue to make
And a demon's hide to bake
So hurry up for goodness sake
We're clear and free, so dance with me c'mon
Do the free kids shimmy shake
C'mon, do the free kids shimmy shake.
Shake shake shake......

HENRY

Hey little Jack now don't you know, sometimes you just gotta let go

MILO, LUCIE

Hey little Jack now don't you know, sometimes you just gotta let go

SERAFINA, MADELINE, LILY

Hey little Jack now don't you know, sometimes you just gotta let go
Hey little Jack now don't you know, sometimes you just gotta let go

ALL THE KIDS

Hey little Jack now don't you know, sometimes you just gotta let go
Hey little Jack now don't you know, sometimes you just gotta let go
Hey little Jack now don't you know, sometimes you just gotta let go
Hey little Jack now don't you know, sometimes you just gotta let go

(As the flying Cloud approaches the city, the blue sky turns dark grey with smoke and soot. We see the orange light of fires in the distance. Now the mountain looms imposingly in foreground and CRAZY DAVIE rushes up breathlessly to the Cloud, carrying a large number of linen-wrapped packages in his arms.)
