Peter Salmond (i.e. Mr Banjoman !) also brings much enjoyment to the pre-school children and has become popular when organising "singalongs" with the use of his many musical instruments.

Meanwhile, here are the words to his own song:-

Go To Sleep With A Smile On Your Face

 Go to sleep with a smile on your face

Forget about the whole human race

The trouble and strife

But that is ‘just life’

Go to sleep with a smile on your face.

So remember those happier days

The fun you had in so many ways

At least with good health

Who needs to have wealth

Go to sleep with a smile on your face.

Go climb that mountain to the top

Never falter, never stop.

And at the summit, stop to think

Before you wake with just one blink.

Stay and dream for a while in your bed

With happier thoughts in your head

Wake up and you’ll find

You’ve got peace of mind

Show no hatred, just loving instead.
