Five on a treasure land,

Five go adventuring again,

Five run away together,

Five go to mountain top.

Five go off in caravan,

Five on Kirrin Island again,

Five go off to camp,

Five get into trouble.

Five fall into adventure,

Five on a hike together,

Five have a wonderful time,

Five go down to the sea.

Five go to mystery moor,

Five have plenty of fun,

Five on a secret trail,

Five go to Billycock Hill.

Five get into a fix,

Five on Finniston farm,

Five go to demon's rock,

Five have a mystery to solve,

Five are together again.
