Wizzy's World
"That Album"
Back in the days when Butlins were considered as places where families might want to spend a holiday break, childrens entertainment was needed. Butlins has always been tacky, and the same went for "Wizzy's World" which was the kids play area and evening entertainment club thing. As well as rides and shows, there was much singing. On my holiday's, I manged to pick up a tape of "That Album", songs from Wizzy's World that as far as I can remember, were never used in the shows anyway. They certainly were not used at Bognor Regis.
As trends change, these songs have been updated to suit modern day audiences. Below are the lyrics from songs in the album.... They are not wonderful, you have been warned. But they are suitably tacky to remind us of those cold summer days in stinking chalets, where we were supposed to be on holiday.
1) Wizzy World
2) Bottom Bumping
3) Wizzy Rap
4) Have you got the power?
5) Oh Wizzer
6) Wizzy House
7) Wizzy Walk
8) Let's Help the Children
9) Wizzy World Christmas
10) Totally Wizzed - MP3
1) WIZZY WORLD
An introduction to the album. Its not very remarkbale, but it
sets the pace for the word "wizz" to be used
gratuiously as a form of brainwashing. By the end of the tape, if
you don't think that Wizzy World is the only place to be in life
then the tape has failed. This is a nice bouncy and tuneful song
and introduces us to the wierd blend of "rapping" and
singing, that makes up every song no matter what sort of music it
is trying to emulate.
<rap>
Wizzy World, Wizzy World
So lets get busy World!
Wizzy World, Wizzy World,
So dance yourself dizzy world!
<spoken>
Have you got the power?
We've got the power!
C'mon then everybody lets gooooooooo!
<sung>When
we wake up in the morning
We jump out of bed and say,
We wonder what adventure we'll be going on today
Wizzer has the power, to wizz us all away
So hold your arms up in the air and wave them round and say:
We are the
kids from Wizzy World,
The funny and greatest Wizzer's World
Here so dance yourself dizzy World,
When you live in Wizzy World!
So join in
our adventure and come with us today
It's really very simple, 'Coz Wizzer knows the way
All you have to do if you want to Wizz away,
Is hold your arms up in the air and clap your hands and say
We are the
kids from Wizzy World,
The funny and greatest Wizzer's World
Here so dance yourself dizzy World,
When you live in Wizzy World!
<rap>
W - I - Double Z - Y

Step inside our dizzy world,
And join the kids from Wizzy World!
2) BOTTOM BUMPING
An encouragement for kids to start bumping their rears against
other kids said part of the anatomy. The track really isn't that
bad - but it would have been fun to do it as part of the club! (All
lyrics are sung with a bad Caribbean accent)
<backing>
Ahhhhhhh Reeee Ba!
Ole Ole Ole

3) WIZZY RAP
Despite most of the song being singing, and the rap bits they do
have are cringingly awful...
<chorus sing>
Everybody's doing the Wizzy Rap....... Now!
Wa ooooo
Ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba
<male rap> I was
feeling kind dizzy, I'd been wizzing all night
Doin' the Wizzy Rap, man them kids are outa sight!
They're the meanest, coolest dudes that you're ever gonna meet
So if you wanna stay in fashion you'd better listen to the beat
<sing> And do the
rap! Do the rap, do the wizzy Rap!
And then you clap, then you clap, and you don't hold back
Just hold those arms up in the air, and wave them around like you
don't care!
Stamp your feet into the ground and sping yourself, around and
round,
The Wizzy Rap!
Wa ooooo
Ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba
<male rap> Now if
you get a little lost, and you start feeling blue
Just follow the kids and they'll show you what to do!
'Coz they're the foot stomping neat that's rockin the nation
So Wizzy World down into a new generation!
<sing> And do the
rap! Do the rap, do the wizzy Rap!
And then you clap, then you clap, and you don't hold back
Just hold your arms up in the air, and wave them around like you

Stamp your feet into the ground and spin yourself, around and
round,
The Wizzy Rap!

Gotta Clap, Gotta clap, Everybody Clap!
Just hold your arms up in the air, and wave them around like you
don't care!
Stamp your feet into the ground and spin yourself, around and
round,
The Wizzy Rap!
4) HAVE YOU GOT THE POWER?
I am sorry, but this one is so awful, I can't even bring myself
to listen to it for the words. Don't make me. PLEASE don't make
me!
5) OH WIZZER
A slow ballad. How many suggestive lyrics can YOU find?!
Oh Wizzer, (oooh ah
oooh)
You're everything to me (oooh ah oooh)
You're silly, sweet and charming
And all a girl wants her boy to be!
Oh Oh Wizzer (oooh ah
oooh)
You mean the world to me (oooh ah oooh)
You funny little person,
I pray to god that you will notice me!
Oh Wizzer, will you
please be mine,
I lie awake every night and I pine
Maybe someday that you'll notice me,
And hold me ever so tenderly!
Oh wizzer (oooh ah oooh)
I'm waiting for the day! (oooh ah oooh)
You tell me that you love me
And ask me to come and Wizz away.
<spoken> Oh
Wizzer, will you ever know how much I love you?
It's funny, I see you every day, eating your jelly babies in the
schoolyard
But you never look my way!
If you would only stop chewing and take a Break, I would like to
finish my Cadbury's flake!
Yet, you don't stop.
Maybe you don't care.
But always remember, if you ever want a Pick and Mix, I'll be
there.
Oh wizzer (oooh ah oooh)
You're everything to me! (oooh ah oooh)
You funny little person,
I pray to got that you will notice me!
Oh Wizzer, will you
please be mine,
I lie awake every night and I pine
Maybe someday that you'll notice me,
And hold me ever so tenderly!
Oh wizzer (oooh ah oooh)
I'm waiting for the day (oooh ah oooh)
You tell me that you love me,
And ask me to come and Wizz Away!
Oh wizzer!
Oh Oh Wizzer!
Oh Wizzer!
<spoken> Oh
Wizzer,
I love you!
6) WIZZY HOUSE
I can only guess that this track was a replica of the sudden
burst of "house music". I don't know what House Music
refers to, but I am sure that this is not it. This trash tries an
alarming plan of trashing other pop stars so that kids believe
that this song is the best. Interesting.
Huh, Uh oh, Uh oh
Huh, Uh oh, Uh oh
Huh, Uh oh, Uh oh
Huh Wizzy House!
Huh, Uh oh, Uh oh
Huh, Uh oh, Uh oh
Huh, Uh oh, Uh oh
Huh Wizzy House!
Welcome everybody, say
Yeah Yeah
Come on everybody, say Woah Woah
We got to get you into the act
Coz we're the kids who know where it's at
In the Wizzy hous-ah
<spoken> In the Wizzy hous-ah
Gotta be a mean cool dude, and not a mouse
In Wizzy Hous-ah
<spoken> In the Wizzy hous-ah
Gotta chase that miserable mouse,
Right outta the house
In Wizzy House!
Huh, Uh oh, Uh oh
Huh, Uh oh, Uh oh
Huh, Uh oh, Uh oh
Huh Wizzy House!
<rap> Now don't
talk reggae, it means nothing to me
No jive bunnies or Elvis Presley.
Kylie Minogue and New Kids on the Block
Don't know where it's at, they're so stuck with the rock.
So if you wanna be Trendy and you wanna be Hip,
Loosen up kids and take a tip
Coz we're the house masters of Wizzy World
And we're opening doors into a brand new world
Of Wizzy House!
Huh, Uh oh, Uh oh
Huh, Uh oh, Uh oh
Huh, Uh oh, Uh oh
Huh Wizzy House!
So get up everybody,
say Yeah Yeah
Come on everybody, say Woah Woah
It's satisfaction guranteed,
Coz we're the kids out in the lead
In the wizzy Hous-ah
<spoken> In the Wizzy Hous-ah
Gotta be a mean cool dude, and not a mouse
In Wizzy Hous-ah
<spoken> In the Wizzy hous-ah
Gotta chase that miserable mouse,
Right outta the house
In Wizzy House!
Huh, Uh oh, Uh oh
Huh, Uh oh, Uh oh
Huh, Uh oh, Uh oh
Huh Wizzy House!
<rap> So don't
talk Punk coz Jonnie's rocking through and through
Suzi left her banshees for pastures new
Toby's stopped twisting and the stones have been rolled
And Beethoven's 5th is just a little too old
So get into the stuff that's really the biz
It ends with a Y, and starts with a Wizz
And subscribe to the fashion that's rocking the world
And be a streetwise trendy for Wizzy World.
In Wizzy House!
Huh, Uh oh, Uh oh
Huh, Uh oh, Uh oh
Huh, Uh oh, Uh oh
Huh Wizzy House!
Welcome everybody, say
Yeah Yeah
Come on everybody, say Woah Woah
We got to get you into the act
Coz we're the kids who know where it's at
In the Wizzy hous-ah
<spoken> In the Wizzy hous-ah
Gotta be a mean cool dude, and not a mouse
In Wizzy Hous-ah
<spoken> In the Wizzy hous-ah
Gotta chase that miserable mouse,
Right outta the house
In Wizzy House!
Huh, Uh oh, Uh oh
Huh, Uh oh, Uh oh
Huh, Uh oh, Uh oh
Huh Wizzy House!
7) WIZZY WALK
This one tries to teach us a dance, except that the instructions
don't seem to make much sense, and you could eaily end up falling
over. Perhaps that was the idea. Who knows! Again, there is more
trashing on pop groups that were big hits at the time. Certainly
makes me feel old!
Hey na na na na na na
na na
Hey na na na na na na na na
Listen Kids,
We've got some news to tell so listen Kids,
We've got a dance to sell so listen kids
Don't talk, Stop and Walk!
<spoken> Are you
tired of dancing to the same old thing?
Bored out your brains with everything?
Sick of the Time Warp and Master Mix and Bunnies?
Had Timmy Mallett and his Poker Dot Bikinis?
Then tell the Seven Girls in the Back Seat "Take a Hike"
And shout out loud "come and get on your bike"
'Coz we've got a dance thats making everyone talk
Follow the kids and do the Wizzy Walk
Just Walk!
<sung by many parts
overlapping> Do the walk, do the Wizzy Walk
Do the Wizzy Walk
Walk, Walk do the Wizzy Walk
Get down on and Walk
Do the Walk, Do the Wizzy Walk
Everybody Walk, Walk
Do the Wizzy Walk
Wizzy Walk with Me!
Hey na na na na na na
na na
Hey na na na na na na na na
Listen Kids,
You've done it all before so Listen Kids,
Don't do it any more just Listen Kids
Don't talk, Stop and Walk!
<spoken> Now you
get the feel of something new
Grab all your friends and do it too!
Goodbye to Travolta and Olivia Newton John
They're all Greased out and now their gone
Throw the Hokey Cokey and the Music Man
'Coz nothing reaches parts like this dance can!
We know how to make everyone talk
Follow the kids and do the Wizzy Walk
Yeah Walk!
<sung by many parts
overlapping> Do the walk, do the Wizzy Walk
Do the Wizzy Walk
Walk, Walk do the Wizzy Walk
Get down on and Walk
Do the Walk, Do the Wizzy Walk
Everybody Walk, Walk
Do the Wizzy Walk
Wizzy Walk with Me!
Rock On!
<male rap> You
put your left foot out in front of your right
Stretch both arms outward as if in flight
Circle that left foot out of sight
Then bring both feet together and start on your right
If you get it all right you won't need to talk
Because my friends you're doing the Wizzy Walk!
So just Walk!
<sung by many parts
overlapping> Do the walk, do the Wizzy Walk
Do the Wizzy Walk
Walk, Walk do the Wizzy Walk
Get down on and Walk
Do the Walk, Do the Wizzy Walk
Everybody Walk, Walk
Wizzy Walk with Me!
Do the walk, do the
Wizzy Walk
Do the Wizzy Walk
Walk, Walk do the Wizzy Walk
Get down on and Walk
Do the Walk, Do the Wizzy Walk
Everybody Walk, Walk
Do the Wizzy Walk
Wizzy Walk with Me!
8) Let's Help the Children
This is a hideously out of place song for a kids album, it's all
about teaching kids to do good things and not turn to crime. It
seems to presume that we are, or are going to one day be Parents,
and is coaching us for the time. The lyrics sound sickening - and
the tune is too, but isn't actually as bad to listen to as it
might be - apart from some nice verses runied by some girl
attempting to sing.
<Male sung> We
owe it to the children to be strong
We owe it to ourselves to teach them right from wrong
Coz we are the new generation
We ought to learn from past mistakes
And give our kids all the right breaks
<Female sung> We
need to find a better, brighter way
We need to help to guide the kids along the way
Coz we are the new generation
We've have the violence and the crime
So let's get it right this time!
<Group Chorus>
We've got to help the children help themselves
We've got to give them all for the future
We've got to teach them the meaning of Third World
And give them the strength for all torn across the world
We've got to help the children help themselves
We've got to guide them into tomorrow
Obliterate war with peace across the world
And let's bring happiness, let's bring happiness to every boy and
girl
<Female sung> We
owe it to the children to be strong
We owe it to ourselves to teach them right from wrong
Coz we are the new generation
We've have the violence and the crime
So let's get it right this time!
<Group Chorus>
We've got to help the children help themselves
We've got to give them all for the future
We've got to teach them the meaning of Third World
And give them the strength for all torn across the world
We've got to help the children help themselves
We've got to guide them into tomorrow
Obliterate war with peace across the world
And let's bring happiness, let's bring happiness to every boy and
girl
Let's help the Children!
Let's get it right!
Let's bring them happiness!
And be their guiding light!
Let's help the Children!
The children of the world!
Let's get it right this time!
For every boy and girl!
We've got to help the
children help themselves
We've got to give them all for the future
We've got to teach them the meaning of Third World
And give them the strength for all torn across the world
We've got to help the children help themselves
We've got to guide them into tomorrow
Obliterate war with peace across the world
And let's bring happiness, let's bring happiness to every boy
<spoken> and girl.
9) WIZZY WORLD CHRISTMAS
I never went to Butlins at Christmas - probably because I was
worred that Father Christmas wouldn't know where to deliver my
presents. For those who risked it however, they probably had the
assorted joys of singing this song.
It's Wizzy World
Christmas for you and for me
With Wizzy World presents around the tree
And your Wizzy World stocking on the wall
Coz Wizzy World kids are having a ball
It's Wizzy World Chrismtas, Everyone go
Wizzy World kissing under the mistletoe
All the Wizzy World girls, grab the boys
And let's make loads of Christmas noise!
It's Christmas Time in
Wizzy World
For every Wizzy boy and girl
So jingle your bells and sing along
With our silly little Christmas song
Coz we're having ourselves a Merry Wizzy World Christmas!
Yes we're having ourselves a Merry Wizzy World Chrismtas!
It's Wizzy World
Christmas, Everyone say
Hi to Santa on his Wizzy World sleigh
Let's get on down for Auld Lang Sein
And have ourselves a Wizzy good time!
It's Wizzy World Christmas filled with fun
We wish nice presents for everyone
So Wizzy kids, get out your toys
And let's make loads of Christmas noise!
It's Christmas Time in
Wizzy World
For every Wizzy boy and girl
So jingle your bells and sing along
With our silly little Christmas song
Coz we're having ourselves a Merry Wizzy World Christmas!
Yes we're having ourselves a Merry Wizzy World Chrismtas!
Hey kids! This is it! It's Christmas!
It's Christmas Time in
Wizzy World
For every Wizzy boy and girl
So jingle your bells and sing along
With our silly little Christmas song
Coz we're having ourselves a Merry Wizzy World Christmas!
Yes we're having ourselves a Merry Wizzy World Chrismtas!
10) Totally Wizzed
And now, the grand finale. A medely of most of the songs on the
tape, some sung much faster then the originals to try and get it
to fit the commong beat meaning singers trying and failing to hit
the now much higher (and sometimes lower) notes. And yes, there's
even a little bit of Have You Got the Power - and no, I'm still
not going to do full lyrics for it.
I need, I need to know,
Have you got
A Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha
This is Wizzy.... This is Wizzy.... This is.... This is Wizzy....
Everybody's doing the
Wizzy Rap.... Now!
Wa Ooooh!
Ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba
<male rap> I was
feeling kind dizzy, I'd been wizzing all night
Doin' the Wizzy Rap, man them kids are outa sight!
They're the meanest, coolest dudes that you're ever gonna meet
So if you wanna stay in fashion you'd better listen to the beat
<sing> And do the
rap! Do the rap, do the wizzy Rap!
And then you clap, then you clap, and you don't hold back
Just hold those arms up in the air, and wave them around like you
don't care!
Stamp your feet into the ground and sping yourself, around and
round,
The Wizzy Rap!
Don't talk, Stop, and Walk!
<sung by many parts
overlapping> Do the walk, do the Wizzy Walk
Do the Wizzy Walk
Walk, Walk do the Wizzy Walk
Get down on and Walk
Do the Walk, Do the Wizzy Walk
Everybody Walk, Walk
Do the Wizzy Walk
Wizzy Walk with Me!
Walk On!
I need, I need to know
- Have you got the Power?
Power, Have you got the power?
Woah
Power, Say have you got the power?
Dance it around - get the power!
Welcome everybody, say
Yeah Yeah
Come on everybody, say Woah Woah
We got to get you into the act
Coz we're the kids who know where it's at
In the Wizzy hous-ah
<spoken> In the Wizzy hous-ah
Gotta be a mean cool dude, and not a mouse

Gotta chase that miserable mouse,
Right outta the house
In Wizzy House!
Huh, Uh oh, Uh oh
Huh, Uh oh, Uh oh
Huh, Uh oh, Uh oh
Huh Wizzy House!
<male rap> Get up
of your bottom and follow me!
Bottom's are for bumping! One Two Three!
Boogie on the dance floor and shake your feet,
Bumping with your partners to the Wizzy Beat!
When you start to feel like your body's pumping,
Then you know you've got Wizzy Bottom Bumping!
<rap> W - I -
Double Z - Y
Wizzy is the world for you and I!
It's F-U-N and thats no lie!
You can all join us if you try!
<sung> Back to
Back, Bump to the beat,
Wiggle your bottom and touch your feet
Bump to the left and bump to the right
Bump, two three, with your knees in tight
Clap your hands in the air and feel your body pumping
That's what they call wizzy Bottom Bumping!
That's what they call... Totally Wizzed!
That's what they call... Totally Wizzed!
That's what they call... A ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
