The land of Yepp is far away, beyond the hills of Doris Day,
across the Ocean deep and blue. That's where the Yeppers hide from you.
They nod and grin and all agree. They eat green bread and drink blue tea.
Such fun they have together, and, they love to burrow in the sand.
A place of harmony and calm, the Yeppers have a good alarm.
If anybody visits there, they really need to take good care.
The slightest sound of stranger's feet upon the sand will start the beat,
a pounding that is so severe, it makes grown men just shake with fear.
The Yeppers' Magic works a treat, they like their privacy complete,
So happy they have always been, no fight or war they've ever seen.

Meanwhile aboard the good ship 'Gwynne' a little girl invited in
to see the captain, she is sad, because she misses Mum and Dad.
She's going home, she's been to stay with her great auntie Marcie May.
"Cheer up" said Captain Harry Tripp, "Come on, I'll show you round my ship."
"I'm cold" she said as she was led, "Here put my tunic on" he said
"and here's some toffees for you too" her face lit up "Oh my! Thank you."
The sky was dark that chilly morning, the squall it came without a warning,
The captain said "Watch out, take care" he turned around, There was no one there!
Alarm was raised! The word was out! "MAN OVERBOARD!" the captain's shout.
"A little girl wearing my jacket" when asked he said, "It's Becky Blackett"

In Yeppland things were doing fine, old Smidge was making Fir Cone Wine,
and Gortle thought it would be fun to make a giant seaweed bun.
Knill and Knoll had lots to do because they are the only two
who work the Magic's secret spell. But on this day, Knill wasn't well.
"I've got a tummy bug" she cried, "I cant get up, I've tried and tried".
"It hurts a lot" she made a groan, "Knoll cannot work it on his own".
Soon all the yeppers rallied round and burrowed into Knill's homeground.
"What can we do"? asked Worky Thrish, "Do we have to feed you fish"?
"Oh no" cried Knill not fish again, "I need a new relief of pain."
Meanwhile up above the sand, a stranger crawled upon the land.
"SHH listen ,What was that"? said Tring, "I thought I heard a surface thing"
Brill popped an eye up, "WE MUST HIDE! It must have come in on the tide"!
"I don't know what it is" Brill said, "It's moving so it isn't dead".
"Maybe it just needs some help, we could just give it curried kelp."
"and what about me?", wailed Knill, "I'm really, really, REALLY ILL."
"You will get better soon enough" said Doctor Dott, "I have some stuff"

Upon the beach was Becky Blackett, taking off the Captains jacket.
"I didn't think I would survive" she thought "but here I am, marooned, alive"!
She didn't have much time for fright, a sound! she turned, and what a sight!
They sat there blinking hand in hand, then more appeared there on the sand.
"H-Hello" she stammerred, "lovely day! My name is Becky, lost my way."
"YEPP" they said together, loud, "YEPP YEPP" from that funny crowd"
One came forward, sat and said "You're in North Yeppland, My name's Shedd."
"We have a problem, we need help, I don't suppose you've got some Kelp?"
"Is that something you can eat? Would any of you like a sweet?
"SWEET? roared Shedd, do you not jest? A joke perhaps? A little test?
"YEPP YEPP YEPP" Chorused the throng, a rhythmic sort of wordless song,
"I have a bag of Toffees here, please take them, try them have no fear."
Shedd grabbed the bag and like a ball, He burrowed followed by them all.
She sat alone "Was that a dream? A funny nightmare it would seem."
"It worked" a voice said from behind, "you had some sweets where did you find?"
"I cant remember, dont know why, my mind is fuzzy, think i'll cry!"
"I am Knill, The magic Yin" She had a very funny grin,
"One of your sweets has made me well, I feel all right now, can you tell?"
"I work with Knoll my Yang you see, we make our Magic, keeps us free
of Nasties, Yukks and Naughties right? But only when we're both alright!
"YEPP YEPP YEPP YEPP YEPP" she heard, quite loud above Knill's spoken word.
Then silence, they were all around, not a murmur, not a sound,
"The Yeppers hereby have decreed that you're a Friend a Star indeed."
"You can go home now Becky Blackett, You better leave the Captain's jacket."
"He'll need it for another trip, aboard his lovely dreamland ship"
"Wake up Becky time for school, Cornflakes crunchy, milk is cool"
"Yeppers" Becky yawned,
"I'll be right there"
