My first day at my first school.

It's your first day at your first school
And you're wondering what to do
Listen to your teacher's words
All the wonders you will learn
Make some friends along the way
Sing with me on music day

It's your first day at your first school
And you're wondering what to say
All your words are there inside
They will come then in time
You can take that bright love
And rise above

As you fly as high as a rainbow
Almost one with the wind
Hold on, it's a bumpy ride, though
We all know that you can do it
We all know that you can do it

It's your first day at your first school
And you're wondering if it's okay
It's A-OK, hey
You'll be home again tonight
Tell your family it's alright
Let them know all that you've done
And what's to come

As you fly as high as a rainbow
Almost one with the wind
Hold on, it's a bumpy ride, though
We all know that you can do it
We all know that you can do it
We all know that you can do it

On your first day!

This time Slippery Fish got away, got away, got away
This time Slippery Fish got away
She's swimming with her family in Elliott Bay

This time Octopus is okay, is okay, is okay
This time Octopus is okay
He thrives among the octopuses to this day

I got plans to swim and see all the deep blue sea, all the waves when they sway
And the current always say if I stay on my course I can find my own way, hey
I can see the shining lights on the water top
Pop my head up, see a million stars shining down
Tell myself that I finally found my way home
Everything is gonna be A-OK, yo

The tuna fish now flourishes
And the great white shark, I hear he's taking up guitar
And the whale's medication cured her tummy irritation
So now you'll hear us singing to the stars

It's time to explore this elevator
We'll go up and down
I'll push the button and stand back if someone is coming out
Floor one to one hundred, we'll explore each one as we scream and shout
Na na na na na
One to one hundred, we'll explore each one as we scream and shout
Na na na na na

I'm just here to ride the elevator, ride the elevator
Let's be clear, it's all I really want, all I really want, dear
I'm just here to ride the elevator, ride the elevator
Let's be clear, it's all I really want, all I really want, dear

My good friend Mavis is truly outrageous, yeah, super lit
They said that they'd meet us on the fourth floor, they'll greet us, then all will fit
Floor one to one hundred, we'll explore each one as we scream and shout
Na na na na na
One to one hundred, we'll explore each one as we scream and shout
Na na na na na

I'm just here to ride the elevator, ride the elevator
Let's be clear, it's all I really want, all I really want, dear
I'm just here to ride the elevator, ride the elevator
Let's be clear, it's all I really want, all I really want

Elevator, carry me up and down and all around

I'm just here to ride the elevator, ride the elevator
Let's be clear, it's all I really want, all I really want, dear
I'm just here to ride the elevator, ride the elevator
Let's be clear, it's all I really want, all I really want, dear

I took a trip down to Hawaii
And I sat there in the sand
My pineapple juice beside me
A ukulele in my hand
And I sang to the fish in the clear blue ocean
Sang to the crabs in the sea
I sang to the people who passed on by me
Come on, can't you see?

Aloha nui loa
All my love, all my love
Aloha nui loa
All my love, all my love
Aloha nui loa
All my love, all my love
Aloha nui loa
All my love, all my love

I took a trip down to Hawaii
Just to see what I could see
But on each and every island
Was a different mystery
And so I sang to the fish in the clear blue ocean
I sang to the crabs in the sea
I sang to the people who passed on by me
Come on, can't you see?

Aloha nui loa
All my love, all my love
Aloha nui loa
All my love, all my love
Aloha nui loa
All my love, all my love
Aloha nui loa
All my love, all my love

I'm so, so, so sad
I had to go home

Ah, this door is broken again. Dad, can you fix it?

Tape measure
Screwdriver
Stud finder
Lock pliers
Bench mallet
Claw hammer
Laser level
Palm sander

Which tool is the right tool?
Which tool is the right tool?

I wanna nail the nail
I wanna nail the nail now
I wanna nail the nail
But I don't know how
I wanna nail the nail
I wanna nail the nail now
I wanna nail the nail
But I don't know how

This door is a broken door
It's been broken now for seven weeks or maybe more
And I dislike this door, I dislike this door
But I don't know what these tools in front of me are for

I wanna screw the screw
I wanna screw the screw now
I wanna screw the screw
But I don't know how
I wanna screw the screw
I wanna screw the screw now
I wanna screw the screw
But I don't know how

This door's a broken door
It's been broken now for seven weeks or maybe more
I dislike this door, I dislike this door
I don't know what these tools in front of me are for

Which tool is the right tool?
Which tool is the right tool?

Up to Alaska, down to Mexico
Back through California, lost in Idaho
I've been all the way east to Maine
West on the Oregon Trail
But in the morning I set sail

I'm on my way
I'm on my way home
On my way home
On my way back home
I'm on my way
I'm on my way home
On my way home
On my way back home

Louisiana, Mississippi too
All the way through Texas
A time or two
North and South Dakota
On to Montana State
But there's just one place I await

I'm on my way
I'm on my way home
On my way home
On my way back home
I'm on my way
I'm on my way home
On my way home
On my way back home

All the places were quite nice
But home is home, sweet home, right?
And I miss my friends and family

I'm on my way
I'm on my way home
On my way home
On my way back home
I'm on my way
I'm on my way home
On my way home
On my way back home
I'm on my way
I'm on my way home
On my way home
On my way back home

I woke up on Saturday without much going on
Called my friends up, "Hey, the carousel is so fun"

Watch the merry-go-round go round, go round
Watch the merry-go-round go round
Watch the merry-go-round go round, go round
Watch the merry-go-round go round

Gave our tokens to Shirelle, climbed aboard
Some kids chose steeds and ponies
I chose rainbow unicorn

Watch the merry-go-round go round, go round
Watch the merry-go-round go round
Watch the merry-go-round go round, go round
Watch the merry-go-round go round

There were four pink ponies and a Santa sled
Several stallions swirling tassels on their heads

Watch the merry-go-round go round, go round
Watch the merry-go-round go round
Watch the merry-go-round go round, go round
Watch the merry-go-round go round
Watch the merry-go-round go round, go round
Watch the merry-go-round go round
Watch the merry-go-round go round, go round
Watch the merry-go-round go round

Deep in my dresser drawer
There is a dinosaur
I found him while out exploring
Grandma's Field
With plates up and down his spine
And a tail with a row of spikes
But this dino's a little shy
What's the deal?

Dinosaur in my drawer
Won't come out, though I implore
Dinosaur in my drawer
Won't come out, though I implore
Dinosaur, dinosaur, ooh

I'll go to the kitchen then
Get some snacks to feed to them
In the morning the evidence
A mess of crumbs
I think it's a stegosaurus
Except that it's small, of course
But no matter how I encourage
He never budges

Dinosaur in my drawer
Won't come out, though I implore
Dinosaur in my drawer
Won't come out, though I implore
Dinosaur in my drawer
Won't come out, though I implore
Dinosaur in my drawer
Won't come out, though I implore
Dinosaur, dinosaur, ooh
Dinosaur, dinosaur, ooh

I knew it was time to rise from my bed
But I sat there staring out the window instead
My eyes locked like lasers on the sky up above
I'll tell you the one thing I love

It's blue, it's blue, it's blue
Perfectly blue
It's blue, it's blue
It's blue, it's blue, it's blue
Perfectly blue
It's blue, it's blue

I knew it was time to start out the day
I jumped in my jumpsuit, it's blue by the way
I walked to the bus stop and sat there transfixed
Stared at the sky for a bit

It's blue, it's blue, it's blue
Perfectly blue
It's blue, it's blue
It's blue, it's blue, it's blue
Perfectly blue
It's blue, it's blue

And I don't like red, no
It just hurts my head, no
I like blue

It's blue, it's blue, it's blue
Perfectly blue
It's blue, it's blue
It's blue, it's blue, it's blue
Perfectly blue
It's blue, it's blue
It's blue, it's blue, it's blue
Perfectly blue
It's blue, it's blue
It's blue, it's blue, it's blue
Perfectly blue
It's blue, it's blue, it's blue

One penguin, two caribou, three chimpanzees
Four white-tailed gnus, five manta rays
And six salamanders say
"Off to bed with you"

Seven centipedes, eight tardigrades
Nine nightingales, ten beluga whales
Eleven wrens, twelve elk
And thirteen thylacine say
"It's time to dream"

All these animals, one through ninety-one
Say goodnight, little one
Goodnight, little one
Goodnight, little one
Goodnight, little one
Goodnight, little one

There's a big steam train rollin' down the track
Say twenty cars long from the front to the back
There's a little caboose on the tail end too
Mama C, I'm a-comin' home soon

There's a smell of tar on the fresh-laid track
There's a puff of steam from the engine's back
Hear the whistle blow, here we go, choo-choo
Mama C, I'm a-comin' home soon

Hear the revving big black engine
Boilin' hot with steam
Pistons push the rods and wheels, it seems
Choo-choo
Train conductor, voice like thunder
"All aboard!" he screams
In the smelly Pufferbelly
I'm a-comin' home, Mama, see

There's a big train station all painted red
Gettin' smaller by the moment as we plunge ahead
I'm in town tomorrow, grab your dancing shoes
Mama C, I'm a-comin' home soon

Hear the revving big black engine
Boilin' hot with steam
Pistons push the rods and wheels, it seems
Choo-choo
Train conductor, voice like thunder
"All aboard!" he screams
In the smelly Pufferbelly
I'm a-comin' home, Mama C

Choo-choo
Choo-choo

I'll chase it all around

Home in the playground
I just can't do without

Let's score a goal today

Three green eels went a-swimming in the sea
Through the icy blue to see what they could see
They saw a lot along their way
As they swam through the waves

Three green eels saw an octopus at play
His tentacles wiggling every single way
They saw a lot along their way
As they swam through the waves

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Three green eels saw a slippery fishy fish
They all shook fins and then they made a little wish
That they'd take the love they'd found
And spread it all around

La la la la la la la la
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
La la la la la la la la
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

B-b-b-bubbles floating everywhere
B-b-b-bursting in the summer air
Go on and pop one
Go on and pop 'em all
Go on and pop one
Go on and pop 'em all

Bubbles forever, make bubbles together
With bubbles for popping, there's no stopping us
Bubbles forever, make bubbles together
With bubbles for popping, there's no stopping us

B-b-b-bubbles floating in the sky
B-b-b-bursting when you poke them right
Go on and pop one
Go on and pop 'em all
Go on and pop one
Go on and pop 'em all

Bubbles forever, make bubbles together
With bubbles for popping, there's no stopping us
Bubbles forever, make bubbles together
With bubbles for popping, there's no stopping us

When it rains, I'm afraid
There's no bubbles for us today
As the tears pour down my face
Till the rain, it fades

Bubbles forever, make bubbles together
With bubbles for popping, there's no stopping us
Bubbles forever, make bubbles together
With bubbles for popping, there's no stopping us

I see a mess here on the ground
We must pick up all the things that we've set down
I see a mess here on the ground

I'm seeing toys here on the floor
We must pick up every single one for sure
I'm seeing toys here on the floor

Pick it up, pick it up
Pick it up, pick it up

We're almost done now, sing like this
La la la, la la la, la la la
There's one thing that we've missed
Pick it up, now we're all done
La la la, la la la, la la la
It almost makes the clean-up fun

Pick it up, pick it up
Pick it up, pick it up

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
A lucky number, so they say
Except for when it comes to spendin'
I only have six dimes today

Well, the shame is you're a good man
Nicest man we've ever seen
Always one step short of seven
Guess that's all you'll ever be

One away from lucky seven
One away from making right
One away from here to heaven
At least I have these six times right

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
Lucky number, so they tell
Seamus dear, sing us another
Here's six times, I wish you well

One away from lucky seven
One away from making right
One away from here to heaven
At least I have these six times right

One away from lucky seven

I'll have a sip in the morning
Maybe I'll have a sip as I go to school
I'll have a sip when we finally get there too
I'll have a sip when we're acting crazy
I'll have a sip when we're staying cool
I'll have a sip 'cause we must hydrate, it's true

Mmm, got my water bottle, baby
Mmm, water bottle
Mmm, got my water bottle, baby
Mmm, water bottle, ooh

I'll have a drink when I go to grandma's
I'll have a drink when I'm playing ball
I'll have a drink as we avoid the mall
I'll have a swig when I'm chasing rabbits
I'll have a swig when I'm on the go
A little swig of refreshing H2O

Mmm, got my water bottle, baby
Mmm, water bottle
Mmm, got my water bottle, baby
Mmm, water bottle, ooh

With water bottle in my hand
I am the man
I'm in command
With water bottle by my side
I'll be hydrated, I
Will survive, my friend

I got a water bottle bouncing in my backpack
I thank you, Mama, for refilling it before I left
I'll be hydrated even when I'm feeling kinda spent
Mmm, water bottle represent

Mmm, got my water bottle, baby
Mmm, water bottle, ooh
Mmm, got my water bottle, baby
Mmm, water bottle, ooh

Mmm, water bottle

Long ago in ancient times
In a world of frozen ice
Woolly mammoth roamed
Marching through the snow

Similar to elephants, except with longer tusks in front
Beady eyes and massive trunks and hair from head to toe
Probably smelled a lot like cheese
Let me see some woolly mammoths stomping to the beat

Swing your giant tusks in time
Searching through the snow to find
Something good to eat
Mostly plants and trees

They would hang in giant herds
Just like our modern pachyderms
They marched across the snowy earth
Till 8000 B.C.
Average weight of seven tons
That's a lot of woolly mammoths stomping just for fun

When the ice age finally passed
Woolly mammoth didn't last
Now that they are gone
We still have this song

And the dance we learned before
In which we stomp across the floor
We'll swing our arms like mighty tusks
As we all march along

Tribute to our ancient friend
Woolly mammoth, you will be remembered till the end
Woolly mammoth, you will be remembered till the end
Woolly mammoth, you will be remembered till the end

A lot of echo in this cave
Listen to the sound it makes
And I will search for you
Forever I'll pursue
Yeah, I will search for you

A lot of echo underground
I'll listen to its magic sound
And I will search for this
Forever I'll persist
Yeah, I will search for this

If I echo you, you can echo me
We can echo on to infinity
If I echo you, you can echo me
We can echo on to infinity

A lot of echo in this land
A lot of voices bouncing back
And I will search for you
Forever on, it's true
Yeah, I will search for you

If I echo you, you can echo me
We can echo on to infinity
If I echo you, you can echo me
We can echo on to infinity
If I echo you, you can echo me
We can echo on to infinity
If I echo you, you can echo me
We can echo on to infinity

When someone's crying on their knees
Show some love and empathy
Do what you can to understand
When someone's shouting out in pain
Add your voices to the fray
Do what you can to lend a hand

Together we're strong, we'll carry on, we'll carry on, we'll carry on, we'll carry on, we'll carry on
Together we're strong, we'll carry on, we'll carry on, we'll carry on, we'll carry on, we'll carry on

When someone's different than the rest
Don't treat them like they're second best
They're probably filled with light and love
We all believe what we believe
I guess that makes us human beings
Probably filled with light and love

Together we are strong, we'll carry on, we'll carry on, we'll carry on, we'll carry on, we'll carry on
Together we are strong, we'll carry on, we'll carry on, we'll carry on, we'll carry on, we'll carry on

Give and you won't regret it
Spread your light and your love
All of us on this planet
Lift your voice for love
For love

When someone's shouting out a name
All cruel and mean, don't be afraid
To lift your voice and speak for love
And if they say we don't belong
Let our love prove them all wrong
Hand in hand we'll rise above

Together we're strong, we'll carry on, we'll carry on, we'll carry on, we'll carry on, we'll carry on
Together we are strong, we'll carry on, we'll carry on, we'll carry on, we'll carry on, we'll carry on
Together we are strong, we'll carry on, we'll carry on, we'll carry on, we'll carry on, we'll carry on
Together we are strong, we'll carry on, we'll carry on, we'll carry on, we'll carry on, we'll carry on

Mama lion, I'm not even tired
Must we go to sleep tonight?

Little lion, come
We must rest, my love

In the summer sky above?

Little lion child
Well, they paint the night
And they fill the sky with love

Please welcome to the stage, Brian Vogan and His Good Buddies!

Get on up off your seat
Clap your hands now to the beat
Come along, join the song
And take some chances
We don't care where you're from
What you look like is no problem
We're all one and the same
When we're dancing

Left or right, low or high
We're alike when we cry
'Cause somebody told us
That we couldn't play
If someone needs a hand
Help them up and make a friend
You may need them someday
So be nice to folks

Get on up now and dance

Take a partner by the hands
Let me see you all
Unleash your monkey business
Jump like this and jump like that
Stomp your feet and give a clap
There's no time for fighting
When we're all up in this

White or brown, country or town
We're the same when feeling down
'Cause somebody used a really hurtful name
If a friend is feeling horrid
Share your love and pour it on them
And they'll give back the same
So be nice to folks

There's just two simple words
Then it's okay:

Marla has two moms
At first I wondered how come
But then I noticed that her family
Does exactly the same stuff as us
And all I see in them is love

Carly is a foster kid
But both her parents are really hip
And though they all look really different
Is there any difference in them
When they're sharing in each other's love?

Desmond has two dads
But both those guys are so rad
I see them at the soccer matches
Screaming with the other parents
I don't see a difference in their love

A family's who you love, right? (Right!)
A family's who you love, right? (Right!)
A family's who you love, right? (Right!)
A family's who you love, right? (Right!)
A family's who you love, right?

I'm a nasty cavity
There inside your mouth
I am festering and rotten, OUCH!
You can't brush me away, no
You can't brush me away
Now you need to see the dentist
What can I say?

I'm a filthy bit of decay
There upon your tooth
I'm throbbing and I'm painful, eww
You can't floss me away, no
You can't brush me away
You forgot to brush your teeth
And now I'm here to stay

Here's the brush, here's the paste
It's nice and green with a minty taste
It's sure to reach each and every one
Brush your teeth!
Do the left now, do the right
Little circles, do it right
'Cause those cavities are not much fun
Brush your teeth!

I'm a gaping black hole hurting
There beyond your lips
A gnarly abscess oozing ick
But it's not too late for you, child
No, it's not too late
Just be sure to brush those teeth now
Both night and day

Here's the brush, here's the paste
It's nice and green with a minty taste
It's sure to reach each and every one
Brush your teeth!
Do the left now, do the right
Little circles, do it right
'Cause those cavities are not much fun
Brush your teeth!

There in my bedroom, in my dresser, three drawers down
There's a little dinosaur I found
With plates up and down his back and horns along his side
And a little tail with a row of spikes

Dinosaur in my drawer
Won't come out, though I implore
Dinosaur in my drawer
La la la la, la la la
La la la la, la la la
La la la la, la la la
La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la

I'll go to the kitchen to get some snacks to keep him fed
I'll place them there beside the bed
I'll fall asleep, in the morning when I wake
There's a trail of crumbs to point the way

Dinosaur in my drawer
Won't come out, though I implore
Dinosaur in my drawer
La la la la, la la la
La la la la, la la la
La la la la, la la la
La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la

I think it's a stegosaurus, I've seen them in my books
I'd ask you over to take a look
But the little guy is always shy these days, it seems
So to my dresser he retreats

Dinosaur in my drawer
Won't come out, though I implore
Dinosaur in my drawer
La la la la, la la la
La la la la, la la la
La la la la, la la la
La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la

Dinosaur!

Well, wait up, Mr. Brian, maybe we should be recycling
Some of this can be remade and used again
All these cartons and containers
Plastic bottles, cups and cans
Wires, magazines and old newspapers
Please recycle if you can
We'll reuse it
Don't refuse it

Ripened fruit and rotten yams
Stale buns and week-old pizza

Well, I come from Montana, Paz is from Peru
Sharesca, she was born in Kathmandu
Carlo is from Mexico, Denzel's from Zaire
But there's one thing we all have in common here

We smile the same
We smile the same

Well, Martine was adopted, and Fran lives with her dad
And Beau lives at his foster parents' pad
Desmond has two fathers, and Gail has Uncle Pete
We're all so very different, but you see

We smile the same
We smile the same
We smile the same
We smile the same

Well, some were born with riches, and some were born with none
But we all speak the same language, and it's love

We smile the same
We smile the same
We smile the same
We smile the same

Way to go, dude!

Before we hit the bus, it's time for each of us
To try to go, so come on, bro, it's not worth such a fuss
Before we're in the van, we'll form a little plan
To make a move before we groove and boogie to this jam
It's potty time, potty time, potty time, potty time, potty time, potty time
It's potty time, potty time, potty time, potty time, potty time, potty time
It's potty time, potty time, potty time, potty time, potty time, potty time
It's potty time, potty time, potty time, potty time, potty time, potty time

Before we go to sleep and count the little sheep
Let's get it done, so come on, hon, no need to cry or weep
Before we're off in dreams of unicorns and things
Let's do it now, don't have a cow, just listen while I sing
It's potty time, potty time, potty time, potty time, potty time, potty time
It's potty time, potty time, potty time, potty time, potty time, potty time
It's potty time, potty time, potty time, potty time, potty time, potty time
It's potty time, potty time, potty time, potty time, potty time, potty time

Before we're at the playground and before we're at the park
Before going to dinner or driving in the car
In the morning when you're waking, in the evening when you're spent
It's potty time, potty time, potty time
Before the market, before the mall
Before we go to school, before we play ball
When it's early, you're rising, when it's later and you're through
It's potty time, potty time
It's potty time

It's potty time, potty time, potty time, potty time, potty time, potty time
It's potty time, potty time, potty time, potty time, potty time, potty time
It's potty time, potty time, potty time, potty time, potty time, potty time

I'm Esperanza and my father is king
I am the princess of all this, but it's just not me
I'd rather be running in sensible shoes
These fluffy pink dresses and veils, they give me the blues
Be proper, they say, always smile, sit up straight
There's no time left to play when the day's done
I dream of a time I can simply unwind and have fun

I'll put on my makeup, though it won't hide the tears
Just to be clear, I've been stuck in this castle for years
I'll wear this tiara, though it won't stay on straight
Each time I'm dancing and singing, it slides down my face
Ugh! Get this thing off me!
The exquisite cuisine is the finest you see
But this thing called a pizza sounds so fun
I dream of a day I can just slip away and try one

Oh, give me a chance to just dance in the sun
A regular girl for a change
Some were born princesses, me, not so much
I'm planning to make my escape
My escape

So please hold my slippers of crystalline glass
And please get these streamers and ribbons away from me fast
I don't need these riches or this vast treasure trove
I don't need a prince to come save me, I'm fine on my own
I'll run without care through the warm summer air
Maybe dance in the sun for a fortnight
And I'll be the one to decide what is fun in my life

Oh, so I won't be your princess today
No, I won't be your princess today

I am a rattlesnake, yeah!
Here, watch my tail shake
I'm a big one, seven feet long
And I slither and shake all night long
Oh, do the rattlesnake shake
Just go with the flow
Oh, do the rattlesnake shake
Just slither and roll
Some say I'm a villainous chap
But it's mostly just gophers and rats
Oh, do the rattlesnake shake
Just don't come too close

I am a diamondback, yeah!
Here, watch my jaws snap back
I'm a big 112 lovely pounds
And I slither and shake all around
Oh, do the rattlesnake shake
Just roll with the roll
Oh, do the rattlesnake shake
Just let it all go
Some claim I'm a sinister style
Until they've sat in my belly a while
Oh, do the rattlesnake shake
Just don't come too close

Okay, now listen up
And I'll try to explain
I get hungry, what can I say?
Then my tail shakes
Shake-a, shake-a, shake-a, shake-a, shake-a, shake-a
Shake-a, shake-a, shake-a, shake-a, shake-a
Shake-a, shake-a, shake-a, shake-a, shake-a, shake-a
Shake-a, shake-a, shake-a, shake-a, shake-a
Shake!

Oh, do the rattlesnake shake
Just go with the flow
Oh, do the rattlesnake shake
Just slither and roll
Some cite my insatiable thirst
I interrupt them with a venomous burst
Oh, do the rattlesnake shake
Just don't come too close

Hooray, it's a snow day, see it glisten
Grab your coats and we'll go play in the yard
Snowsuits and our gigantic boots
Mitten clips and winter hats with our long scarves
Nice and warm

Oh yeah, man, it's snowing, see it tumble
All the flakes as they're blowing through the town
Take care on the ice over there, lest we stumble
Take my hand, we'll be okay, safe and sound
Oh, on into the snow
Oh, hand in hand we'll go

Oh, great, it's a snow day, let's not miss this
There's no need to be afraid, you'll be fine
Snowflakes on your beautiful face, winter's kisses
Gentle songs of the cold, winter sighs
Oh, on into the snow
Oh, hand in hand we'll go

Peter Pecan sat there in a bowl
With all the peanuts and pistachios
The only pecan for millimeters 'round
Always felt lonely and down
Wait a minute, man, seems you've overlooked
Turn yourself around, take another look
I've been watching you there across the bowl
There's something I want you to know
And it's true, you got me nuts about you
Oh, you got me nuts about you
You got me nuts about you, you, you, you
You got me nuts about you

Peter Pecan sat there unamazed
What a beauty, worth a sugar glaze
Pleased to meet you, you can call me Pete
With whom am I privileged to meet?
The name is Polly, it's nice to meet you too
You are not alone, one plus one is two
I'm glad you finally turned and looked on over here
We're made for each other, it's clear
And it's true, you got me nuts about you
Oh, you got me nuts about you
You got me nuts about you, you, you, you
You got me nuts about you

You got me nuts about you
Oh, you got me nuts about you
You got me nuts about you, you, you, you
You got me nuts about you

You got me nuts about you
Oh, you got me nuts about you
You got me nuts about you, you, you, you
You got me nuts about you

Up ahead, back again, how am I supposed to know?
Here or there, anywhere, where else should I go?
Up or down, all around, how does one decide?
I can't say, but I'm okay if you're by my side

On and to, back on through, how am I supposed to pick?
Louder, quiet, calm alright, I just can't commit
High or low, fast or slow, which way should I choose?
I'm a fan of any plan if I'm here with you
Over, under, left or right, anywhere between
I'll be joyous with the choices if you're there with me

Rain or sun, wind or none, how am I supposed to say?
In the clouds, underground, I'm fine either way
Short or tall, large or small, I won't make a fuss
I'll be cool with all we do, just the two of us
Morning, evening, day or night, any one is fine
Each selection is perfection when it's you and I

Green Louise, she only liked green
And green was all she wanted
Her eyes, her hair, the clothes she would wear
It's green she always flaunted
I asked her once what was the deal
She said, "My love for green is real"
She handed me this glockenspiel
And said, "Be on your way"

Green Louise, she only liked green
Green was all she needed
Her nails, her gloves, her emerald pumps
It's green she always featured
I asked her once, "What's up with you?"
She said, "My love for green is true"
She sprayed a weird broccoli perfume
And said, "Be on your way"

One day she decided she would change it up completely
She hopped inside a big green van and drove out on the freeway
She searched around until she found this little shop in Chinatown
She found a lotus, perfect pink, and said, "This just completes me"

Ahh!

Slugs go slow, slow, slow

Way down low, low, low

I hear the music playing so loud
I wanna jump, I wanna scream and shout
I wanna dance until I fall down fall down
Fall down fall down, fall down to the ground
I wanna sing in my big voice
I wanna boogie to the funky noise
I wanna dance, come on, girls and boys
Girls and boys, girls and boys, girls and boys
Come on, girls and boys

And no, we'll never stop, and we'll dance

Hear the rock song blast away
Big guitars like a tidal wave
I wanna dance till it's getting late
Getting late, getting late, getting late
It's getting kinda late
I'm gonna shred like a mad beast
Rock and roll till I can't breathe
I wanna dance for eternity
Eternity, eternity, eternity
For all eternity

I know we'll never stop, and we'll dance
I know we won't give up, and we'll dance
We'll push it over the top, and we'll dance

Let's just say we're in a plane flying through the sky
We can see the earth below as clouds go flying by
Open up your arms like wings so we can fly away
On to better days

Let's pretend we're in a bus and driving round the town
(Beep beep)
We'll pick up our dearest friends and drive that bus around
(Beep beep)
Turn the wheel like this so we can get to where we'll go
Somewhere down that road

Let's go everywhere out there
I wanna see it, live it, breathe it
Let's see every single thing
I'll smell it, taste it, just embrace it all

Let's just say we're in a boat floating in the bay
Zoning out to jellyfish dancing in the waves
Up and down again as we just bounce along the sea
Off to find our dream

Let's pretend we're all aboard a long and winding train
(Choo choo)
I'll just watch the sights go by, occupy my brain
(Choo choo)
Go across the tallest bridge at least a mile high
Off to somewhere nice

Let's go everywhere out there
I wanna see it, live it, breathe it
Let's see every single thing
I'll smell it, taste it, just embrace it
Let's go everywhere out there
I wanna see it, live it, breathe it

There's a giant box with a big red bow
It's wrapped in paper, my parents disguised it, but I know what's inside
And next Thursday I'll open it up, hand me the scissors
I'll gather my friends and we'll go for a ride
And we'll fly around the block
While I show it off
All my troubles gone
While I'm riding on

There's a big dirt pile behind the school
It's great for jumping
We'll put on our pads and our helmets and go
We'll pretend we're motorcycle riders in some kind of race
We'll make motor sounds as the bicycles roll
And we'll fly around the town
Show it all around
All my troubles gone
While I'm riding on

It's silver and blue
It's totally cool
The wind in my face
As I ride away
With tassels on the grips
And smiles on our lips
I'll skid to a stop
So I can show it off

There's a girl I know who lives down the way
She doesn't have a bike
But we can take turns super cycling on mine
'Cause she sometimes lets me borrow her ball
When I'm playing soccer
And one thing I've learned is that sharing is nice
And we'll fly around the park
Till it's nearly dark
All my troubles gone
While I'm riding on

It's silver and blue
It's totally cool
The wind in my face
As I ride away
With tassels on the grips
And smiles on our lips
I'll skip to the stop
So I can show it off

There's a lot of rain in the sky
Falling through the day, falling through the night
Will it ever stop? I don't know
But I know this, I love you so
But I know this, I love you so

There's a lot of wind in the air
Blow me here, blow me there
Will it ever cease? I don't know
But I know this, I love you so
But I know this, I love you so

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
But I know this, I love you so
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
But I know this, I love you so

An awful lot of storms in our lives
Messing with our hearts, messing with our minds
Will they let up, we can only hope
But I know this, I love you so
But I know this, I love you so
But I know this, I love you so
But I know this, I love you so

What can be done? We have only one
And we number two, so what should we do?
No need to ask, we'll cut it in half
Now there's enough, that wasn't tough

We'll split it, la la la la
We'll split it, la la la la la

Now there are three, including me
What must we do? Sharing sounds cool
Cut it in thirds, totally works
Now we'll move on, our work here is done

We'll split it, la la la la la
We'll split it, la la la la la
We'll split it, la la la la la
We'll split it, la la la la la

There was a bear and he lived in the woods
He was a big old fella, ten feet when he stood
He always spent his time down fishing by the river
Eating berries from the blackberry bush
But every single year there's a change in the weather
And the rain starts to fall and it soon becomes snow
Icy winds rush through the middle of the forest
Oh, where is the bear to go?

Off to his cave, he'll just hibernate
And sleep through the dead of winter
Dreaming dreams of blackberries
And the fish down by the river

Then in the spring when the earth starts to thaw
Well, the bear wakes up and he comes on out
Spends another year down fishing by the river
Till the winter rolls back around

Off to his cave, he'll just hibernate
And sleep through the dead of winter
Dreaming dreams of blackberries
And the fish down by the river
Off to his cave, he'll just hibernate
And sleep through the dead of winter
Dreaming dreams of blackberries
And the fish down by the river

Workers are busy with multiple tasks
Machinists and welders attending their craft
Specialized helmets protect from the spark
Long sturdy gloves will protect your whole arms

Watch as the workers are working with metal
With metal
Watch as the workers are working with metal
With metal
Metal
Metal

Steaming hot molten is molded and shaped
Engineers carefully deliberate
Parts are assembled by robotic arms
The pieces together become trucks and cars

Watch as the workers are working with metal, with metal
Watch as the workers are working with metal, with metal

There's a light on a hill
And it's shining there still
You can see it for miles down the coast
When the boats go astray
Well, the light guides their way
And leads the ship safely back home

There's a man with a hat
And he sings a bit flat
But his heart is still shining like gold
And he sings of his days
Pulling fish from the waves
And the lighthouse on Mulligan's Cove

La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la

When we first saw you walk
When we first heard you talk
When you blessed us with love in a smile
Well, I swore to you then
I'd be there till the end
Like a lighthouse to guide you, my child

I'm Crazy Carl and this is what I do
I take caterpillars and I eat them in a stew
Throw them in a pot, water nice and hot
Then you have a caterpillar stew
Pour in the water (glub, glub)
Shake in the spice (shooka-shooka-shooka-shooka-shooka)
Throw in the tuna fish (Ew, are you serious?)
Stir it up nice
Peel up a carrot, artichoke hearts
But don't forget the caterpillars, that's the best part

I'm Chatty Cherry and this is what I like
Eating caterpillars underneath the moonlight
Hand me the bowl, pass me the spoon
We'll have a little caterpillar stew
Pour in the vinegar (glub, glub)
Chop a little chives (shooka-shooka-shooka-shooka-shooka)
Another can of tuna fish (Ew, are you serious?)
Mix it up nice
Peel a potato, unless you're counting carbs
But don't forget the caterpillars, and that's the best part

I'm Crazy Carl and here's my special taste
Eating caterpillars till I'm green in the face
Every single day, morning, night and noon
It's all about my caterpillar stew
(Ew!)

No caterpillars were harmed during the making of this album.

Baba went away last week to a faraway land
Had some work there overseas, but now he's finally back

Baba's coming home today
Baba's coming home today
He's coming home, home, home today

Caakiri is his favorite treat
So we'll have some tonight

He's coming home, home, home today
He's coming home, home, home today

Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na

When he gets back we'll all sing, and we'll dance all around
Laugh and play as a family, what a wonderful sound

He's coming home, home, home today
He's coming home, home, home today

Watch all the fishes, they swim through the stream
Here and then gone just as fast as can be
Oh, let's try to catch one as they swim on by
Splashing away, I just missed by a mile

Fish go fast, fish go fast
Fish go fast, fish go fast
Fish go fast, fish go fast
Fish go fast, fish go fast

Watch as the minnows, they dash through the creek
Here and then gone as they just dart and weave
Oh, watch the whole school as they swim and they play
Almost as if they just vanish away

Fish go fast, fish go fast
Fish go fast, fish go fast
Fish go fast, fish go fast
Fish go fast, fish go fast

Fish go fast
Fish go fast
Fish go fast
Fish go fast
Fish go fast
Fish go fast

When it's time to go, it's a little bit sad, I know
When you've had a great time, but the buses are ready to roll outside
When the day is done, until tomorrow's fun
But what can be said until then, until then?
What can be said until then, until then?

Say goodbye to the friends that you met there at school today
Say goodbye to the teachers who taught you and gave you your grades
Say goodbye to the principal standing tall
Say goodbye to acquaintances one and all
Say goodbye to the janitor there in the hall
Say goodbye

When it's time to part
There's a tiny tear in my heart
When we're separated
'Cause the bus driver's yelling
"Don't be late"
When the day has passed
Until tomorrow's last
What can be said
Until then, until then?
What can be said
Until then, until then?

Say goodbye to the friends that you met there at school today
Say goodbye to the teachers who taught you and gave you your grades
Say goodbye to the principal standing tall
Say goodbye to acquaintances one and all
Say goodbye to the janitor there in the hall
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye

Chorus
Hey, hey, hey, have a nice day
It's your birthday today
Hey, hey, hey, have a nice day
It's your birthday today-ee-ay

You're one year older than before
But we all love you that much more
And so we'll gather once a year
For you, dear

We'll throw a party just for you
Do whatever you wanna do
Open presents that we bring
While we sing

Chorus ×2

Let's get some candles on that cake
One for each year you've been great
Take a breath now, we'll all shout
Blow 'em out

We've watched you grow up for a while
All along you've made us smile
All those little things you do
Here's to you

Chorus ×4

Have a happy birthday
Your own holiday!
Have a happy birthday
Your own holiday!

Chorus
Mama's got the soap
Me, I've got my boat
Little blue boat in the water
Watch him as he floats
Splashing as we go
Little blue boat in the water

And we'll set sail
Through the bubbles and the soap
We'll search for whales
In our little blue boat

I see one now
He's purple and green
Shoots water out
When you give a little squeeze

Chorus

We'll sail around
All the bubbles and the suds
While Mom goes to town
On the dirt and the crud

I see a fish
And my yellow duck Max
The fish says "bplbplbplbplbplbplbp"
While the duck just quacks

Chorus

I've a hook for a hand and a peg for a leg
I've a patch on me eye and a beard long and gray
There's an old nasty parrot and he sits on me arm
And he never says much, when he does it's just "Aarrrrr!"

Pirates are we, pirates are we
Oh to be free, sailing out 'cross the sea
In our giant black galleon as we search on for gold
So hand it on over now, do as you're told
Aarrrrr!

Hold up your hooks in the air, let me see 'em
Unless of course you don't have arms like poor Liam
In that case just hold up a nose or an ear
Now stomp on the deck while you give out a cheer

Pirates are we, pirates are we
Oh to be free, sailing out 'cross the sea
In our giant black galleon as we search on for treasure
So fork it on over now, it's been a pleasure
Aarrrrr!

That's Bluebeard Bill on the drums in the back
And One-Eyed Loretta, well, she shrieks like a bat
There's Treasure Tooth Jim on the old piano keys
And Mean-Mouthed Matilda and me...
Aarrrrr, good buddies!

Pirates are we, pirates are we
Oh to be free, sailing out 'cross the sea
In our giant black galleon as we search on for ice cream
So hand it on over now, it's so enticing
Aarrrrr!

Aarrrrr, good buddies!

(Hey-oh, hey-oh)

I was playing at the park with my new ball
But every time I shot it went flying past the goal
Quite frustrated, I tried again one thousand times
And now I'm hardly missin', watch me kickin', here I go

Chorus
Hey, you can do it
Put a little practice in and it'll come along
Ain't nothing to it
Every time you try you're just a little further on

I went swimming for the first time yesterday
But every time I tried it I went sinking like a stone
Agitated, I took a breath and tried again
And now I feel amazing 'cause I'm swimming like a pro

Chorus ×2

Roller skating at the park with my good friends
I must have fallen eighty times just trying to make them roll
Two weeks later, I'm the fastest in my school
I'm skatin' backwards circles, man, I'd say I'm good to go

I knew this boy named Charlie
And at night he'd go to drink his chocolate milk (Mmm... delicious!)
But each and every day
It was the same, you see, the chocolate milk got spilt (Ah, man!)
It went on several months this way
'Til Charlie finally proclaimed, "Enough!" (I've had enough!)
He grabbed his little flute
And wrote this very song declaring what is up

Chorus
Be careful with your cup
Be careful with your cup
Be careful with your cup
Be careful with your cup

I knew this girl named Sheila
And she sang at all the clubs around the town
But one day she was drinking chocolate milk
And then she spilt it down her gown (Ah, man!)
The show it must go on, they say
So Sheila, she just grabbed the nearest rug (I know, I'll wear this!)
She stood up proud and walked out on the stage
And sang this very song to us...

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Chorus
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Be careful with your cup
Be careful with your cup

(spoken) Hey man, wanna race?
(spoken) Start your tricycles!

Tricycle race around the lawn
I'm in first place and going strong
Good thing I've got my helmet on
I fall down, I fall down

I get back up and move ahead
Next thing I know I'm first again
Good thing I've got my protection
I fall down, I fall down

(spoken) Billy! Come inside, your dinner's getting cold!

I didn't fit in anywhere, so this is what I did
I saved up all my money and I bought a rocket ship
I flew for seven months and on the second day of June
I lost control of everything and crashed into the moon

Chorus
I'm living on the moon
I'm living on the moon
I'm living on the moon
I'm living on the moon

I set my little tent up and unloaded my supplies
Rocket packs and dried-up snacks and air so I'll survive
Decided I was hungry, so I fried myself an egg
Forgot there was no gravity and watched it float away

Chorus

Heard word it's made of cheese
I would have to disagree
I've tasted it, you see
It just tastes like rocks to me... Yuck!

Chorus

Decided I was tired, so I fixed the rocket ship
Loaded up my packs and snacks and took another trip
The rocket shot up way up high but then it turned around
I lost control of everything and crashed back to the ground

Chorus

I'm living on the moon

Hey, Kangaroo
What's up with you?
I'm tired and I'm bored
Hey, Wallaby
Just follow me
There's much to explore

All around that Uluru rock
Off to Kakadu
Brolga dance now, bandicoot hop
There's so much to do
On a walkabout

Hey, Kangaroo
I'll hang with you
You're right, it's the best
Hey, Wallaby
Just follow me
I'll show you the rest

All along the billabong banks
Off to Jim Jim Falls
Thylacine sings, crocodile shakes
Kookaburra calls
On a walkabout

Oh, yeah, yeah, oh
(wordless vocals)

Australia!
Australia!
Australia!

Oh, there's a train on its way down that choo-choo track
I got a ticket to get in it and I ain't comin' back
Singin' Dinah in the kitchen, but it sounds a little flat
There's a train on its way and I really can't contain it!

Well, here's a train on its way down that choo-choo track
I'll go from here to Albuquerque and I ain't comin' back
I'll be a-munching soy jerky with a turkey named Jack
There's a train on its way and I really can't contain it anymore...

Watch the little train go along the countryside
Watch the little train go, I wanna take a ride
I'd go around the world if I could
Just riding trains all day and night
But I can't 'cause I'm stuck in this station all the time
Selling tickets for the 309!

Chorus

Oh, there's a train on its way, I can see it now
I'm gonna get myself up in it, gonna blow this town
I'm gonna grab my green umbrella 'cause I'm Seattle bound
Oh, there's a train on its way and I really can't contain it!

There's a train on its way, I can see it now
I'll go from here to San Francisco to L.A. on down
Maybe chill at the pavilion, then we'll hit this town
Oh, there's a train on its way and I really can't contain it anymore...

Watch the little train go along the countryside
Watch the little train go, I wanna take a ride
I'd go around the world if I could
Just riding trains all day and night
But I can't 'cause I'm stuck in this station all the time
Selling tickets for the 309!

Chorus

Well, hey, ticket lady, now don't you frown
I just found another ticket crumpled up on the ground
Well, it says it's for eleven, so you better act now
There's a train on its way and I know you can't contain it

There's a train on its way down that choo-choo track
Well, come on now, ticket lady, and I'll help you pack
I can watch the ticket station 'til you come on back
There's a train on its way and I know you can't contain it anymore

Watch the little train go along the countryside
Watch the little train go, I'm finally here inside
I'll go around the world if I can
Just riding trains all day and night
Going chugga-chugga-chugga-chugga
Chugga-chugga-chugga-chugga
Chugga on down the line!

Vamos correr como uma capivara (let's run like a capybara)
Vamos nadar como uma capivara (let's swim like a capybara)
Vamos dançar como uma capivara (let's dance like a capybara)
I ver quatro deles, I ver quatro deles (I see four of them! I see four of them!)

Capybara is a giant rodent
A rodent of enormous size
At times they're in the waves a-floatin'
Or they're chillin' by the waterside

Capybara eats plants and grasses
Capybara eats bark and fruit
And they live by the old savannah
And they dance underneath the moon

Chorus ×2

Capybara is seldom sleepy
So he's grooving on through the night
But you wouldn't say it's done discreetly
When they boogie in the full moonlight

Capybara is always dancing
Capybara, well, he never slows
Down by the old savannah
Watch the capybara as he goes

Chorus

Let's run like a capybara
Let's swim like a capybara
Let's dance like a capybara
I see four of them! I see four of them!

Dance, dance, dance like a capybara
Dance, dance, dance like a capybara
Dance, dance, dance like a capybara

Clap your hands like this
Now stomp your feet and wiggle at the hips
Hold your hands up high
Now bring 'em back down, wave them at your sides

Give a little spin
Now we can begin
So here we go
Free lessons: how to fly

Stretch your arms out wide
You'll need some space, be careful, don't collide
Point them up like this
We'll blast off like a hundred rocket ships

Give a little spin
Now we can begin
So here we go
Free lessons: how to fly

Chorus
Jump so high we touch the sky
Fly on to the moon
Leaping, sweeping way up high
When I'm here with you
I know I can fly away!

OK, just a sec
I'm kind of tired, let me catch my breath
Alright, I'm refreshed
Now let's prepare for one more final test

Give a little spin
Now we can begin
So here we go
Free lessons: how to fly

Jump so high we touch the sky
Fly on to the moon

You know I can fly away
You know I can fly away
You know I can fly away
You know I can fly away

I'm walking in the rain
Hey
But there is still a smile upon my face
Oh yeah
I wave at passersby
Hi
And whistle out a tune stuck in my mind
Oh yeah

And when the sky is dark and gray
I grab my green umbrella
You may say, "Hey, he's lost his brain"
But if you ask I'll tell ya

Chorus
Sing a little song
You can sing along
Rain or shine
Hum a little tune
You can do it too
Maybe
In the sun or snow
I'll be good to go
I'll be fine
Come on sing along
Sing a little song
Baby!

I'm walking in the snow
Bro
Yet I still feel the opposite of low
Oh yeah
I count the folks I see
3
I wave at each and I sing my melody
Oh yeah

And when the sky is dark and gray
I grab my green umbrella
You may say, "Hey, he's lost his brain"
But if you ask I'll tell ya

If you think of the millions
Of germs that we touch
It's enough to inspire you
It's time to wash

Turn on the water
And stick your hands in
Make sure that it's warm enough
Then you begin

Chorus
Wash your hands
Wash your hands
Wash your hands
Stop the germs if you can
Wash your hands
Wash your hands
Wash your hands
Stop the germs if you can
Stop the germs if you can
Stop the germs if you can
Stop the germs if you can

If you're sure to use soap
Every time that you wash
You'll always be healthy
The germs will be crushed

Now we can eat
All the food on our plate
Funny thing is when we're done
It's the same

Chorus

Well I'm a nasty little germ
I crawled up on your hand
I'm much too small for you to see
But that is just my plan

I'll wait there on your fingers
Until you touch your mouth
I'll crawl inside so deep within
And make you sick no doubt

Well late last year on a Thursday in November
I got on the phone and invited every member
Of the entire family over for a Thanksgiving feast

When the relatives arrived, well I showed them out back
To a pen I had built to show them Old Jack
Old Jack was the biggest old turkey that you ever did see

Well I'm guessing he stood around six foot four
And he came in at five hundred pounds or more
I swear Old Jack was as big as a buffalo
I bought him from a farmer named Slippery Ryan
Who lives up the road near Three Mile Island
But how he got so big I'll never know

Chorus
Jack just looked and said, "Gobble, gobble, gobble
Step off, son, it ain't me you're gonna swallow
If I'm the biggest turkey in the entire state
There ain't no way I'm ending up on a plate"

So he broke out of the pen and he ran around the yard
And he hopped over the fence and he jumped into our car
And he sped off down the road like a bolt of lightning
Well we all hopped into the minivan and I said
"Uncle Earl, drive as fast as you can
'Coz Thanksgiving without turkey, well that's just frightening!"

Well Jack got onto the interstate and he's bobbing and weaving in and out of the lanes
An officer clocked him in at 109
The policeman sped off in pursuit and soon he was joined by another two
Their sirens screaming out into the night

Chorus

Chorus

Well it's been about a year and I'm sad to say
We never caught up with Old Jack that day
'Coz at 10:03 he crossed over into Jersey
And now looking back I'll remember one thing
When I'm buying a bird for Thanksgiving
This time I'm gonna go with a smaller turkey

'Coz I'm guessing he stood around six foot four
And he came in at five hundred pounds or more
I swear Old Jack was as big as a buffalo
I bought him from a farmer named Slippery Ryan
Who lives up the road near Three Mile Island
But how he got so big I'll never know
But how he got so big I'll never know
But how he got so big I'll never know

Oscar is a red dog
He's a little blue
Someone took his favorite bone
Now what will he do

Curly Girl's a red dog too
She's a little sad
Feels a little guilty now
For taking Oscar's snack

Chorus
Gray Dog comes around
Out of nowhere he just appears
And helps the dogs around the town
Gray Dog comes around
Saying, "Step aside, settle down
Take some time to figure out and be friends!"

Charlie is a green dog
He always carries three
Max and Woofers come along
As happy as can be

Suddenly they notice
They've forgotten theirs
They ask their buddy Charlie
But Charlie doesn't share

All aboard
Astronauts and scientists
In your funky uniforms
Let's fly away
We're going for a shuttle ride
Out around the Milky Way

Here's the plan
We'll fly around the solar system
To the edge and back again
On to the stars
Proxima Centauri
And Wolf 359

Here we go
Mission preparation stats
Prelaunch operation codes
Test engine left
Engine right just takes a moment
Tech, T-minus 20 seconds

Strap on in
Please secure protective helmets
Fasten them beneath your chin
Countdown from ten
Someone hits ignition switch
Now we can lift off...

Chorus
The world just falls beneath us
And earth just fades away
The booster's drained and worthless
So we jettison the tanks
The gravity will vanish
We float off and away
It's weird but we can manage
As we fly through outer space

Here we are
Off around the sun and back
Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars
On to the rest
Jupiter, the rings of Saturn
Uranus and Pluto

We're out in space
Nebulas and asteroids flying
Wormholes and dimension gates
On to the stars
Sending exploration rovers
Searching for life forms

Chorus

Well I hopped into my time machine and I went back 90 million years
To find some dinosaurs and check them out
I wanted a chance to see them up close, put to rest any questions I may have had
Any uncertainties or doubts

When I got there on the scene I hit the switch that opens up the hatch
So I could see what I could see
I saw four pteranodons flying through the sky
Screeching out, flapping reptilian wings

Chorus
Oh the painted skies
Crimson red from volcano fires
Misty mountains broad and steep
Ancient lakes with waters deep
Forests vast they teem with life
Stretching out so far and wide
Through the swamps and insect swarms
Let's go find some dinosaurs

Well I hopped out of that time machine and I slipped on my way down
I hit my left elbow quite hard so I said ouch!
But what's a little scrape when you're out chasing dinosaurs
It's so much better than just sitting on the couch

Luckily I was prepared; I put a little bandage there
And went along my way without a word
I was distracted and didn't see the big T-Rex looking down at me
I swear it always pays to stay alert

Chorus

Well I ran off like a little squirrel and you should have heard my scream unfurl
I swear it could be heard for several miles
I guess it scared that T-Rex off, 'coz when I looked back he was gone
I felt a bit relieved so I gave a smile

I walked on for a couple of minutes and found a valley with dinosaurs in it
I took out my binoculars and I looked
I saw Parasaurolophus, Triceratops and Carnotaurus
And a few I hadn't seen in any books

Chorus

So I went back to my time machine and I climbed the ladder and got back in
And adjusted the controls with an expert eye
I hit the purple blinking button that I had drawn with my Crayola
'Coz that one takes you back to your own time

The cardboard box it started to shake and I praised the strength of masking tape
And I told my teddy bear to hold on tight
A few moments later we were back at home, there in a box on our front lawn
I gathered up my toys and I went inside

Chorus

There's a little star in the sky
Winking down at you from up high
Shining brightly so tonight we
Fall asleep under a perfect sky

There's a little moon up there too
Glowing pearly white just for you
See it shining so tonight we
Fall asleep under a perfect sky

Chorus
The wind will sing its lullaby
The trees will sway in time
And the stars they'll paint their trails on through the night
The breeze will whisper secrets then
And clouds will melt away
And the moonbeams shine on in dreams so they say

There's a little star in the night
Watch it shining down silver light
See it sparkle so tonight we'll
Fall asleep under a perfect sky

There's a little moon up above
And it shines for you oh my love
See it glowing so we know we'll
Fall asleep under a perfect sky

Chorus

There's a little star in the sky
See it shining down from up high
See it sparkle so tonight we'll
Fall asleep under a perfect sky

Take a seed from your pocket and put it in the ground
Press it down nice and deep and push the dirt on down

Chorus
The harvest moon comes in October
And when you look over your shoulder
That's how a pumpkin grows
That's how a pumpkin grows
That's how a pumpkin grows
Now it's a pumpkin

When we go to the pumpkin patch we'll have so much fun
Maybe spend 'round an hour or two 'til we find the best one

Vroom, vroom goes the car down the racecar track
Vroom, vroom goes the car down the racecar track
No slowing down, no turning back
Vroom, vroom goes the car down the racecar track

Put on your helmets
Tighten up the straps
Pedal to the metal
No going back

Put on your helmets
Tighten up the straps

The bishop moves diagonal
The rook takes a straight line
The knight makes an "L" shape
The queen goes anywhere she likes

The pawn kills diagonal
But moves only straight ahead
The king's the important one
You must move him when the king's in check

Oh chess
I play it with my pet monkey Wes
Oh chess
Though I've beat him once or twice he's won all the rest
Oh chess
When it comes to playing chess old Wes he's the best
And every time he beats me
Wes always says...

Ooh oh oh oh oh oh ooh ooh oh oh oh oooh ooh!

See the leaves fall from the trees
See them falling down
See the leaves fall from the trees
See them turning brown
See the leaves fall from the trees
See them spinning round
Can you be a leaf with me?
Falling to the ground

Oh baby...

Chorus
Fall, fall, we call it fall
Leaves fall to the ground
Fall, fall, we call it fall
Leaves fall to the ground
Fall, fall, we call it fall
Leaves fall to the ground
It's also called autumn when there's leaves at the bottom
Of the trees that are all around

See the leaves fall from the trees
See them falling down
See the leaves fall from the trees
See them turning brown
See the leaves fall from the trees
See them spinning round
Can you be a leaf with me?
Falling to the ground

Oh baby...

Touch your feet
They're for walking
Touch your lips
They're for talking
Touch your ears
They're for listening to the songs I sing

Touch your legs
They're for stomping
Touch your teeth
They're for chomping
Touch your head
It's for thinking 'bout everything

Touch your knees
They're for tickling
Touch your hips
They're for wiggling
Touch your hair, it's for brushing 'til it's beautiful

Touch your fingers
They're for touching
Touch your cheeks
They're for blushing
Touch your heart, it's for loving everyone in the world

Touch your feet
They're for walking
Touch your lips
They're for talking
Touch your ears
They're for listening to the songs I sing

Touch your legs
They're for stomping
Touch your teeth
They're for chomping
Touch your head
It's for thinking 'bout everything

Touch your knees
They're for tickling
Touch your hips
They're for wiggling
Touch your hair, it's for brushing 'til it's beautiful

Touch your fingers
They're for touching
Touch your cheeks
They're for blushing
Touch your heart, it's for loving everyone in the world
Touch your heart, it's for loving everyone in the world

Do you want to be a firefighter?
Driving by in your big red truck
Do you want to turn on the siren?
Hit the switch, make the ladder go up

Do you want to be a firefighter?
At the station in your big red hat
When you hear that fire bell ringing
Down the pole in seconds flat

Chorus
Jump in the fire truck
Cruising to the scene
Get on the radio
Tell them what you see
You can do it
Get out the fire hose
Spray it all down
Go in the window
And get the people out
You can do it
If that's what you want to do

Do you want to be a firefighter?
You can feed the Dalmatian named Jim
Clean the fire boat in the harbor
Just in case you want to take it for a spin

Do you want to be a firefighter?
With the children at the schools
Give a talk about fire safety
You can do it if you really want to

Chorus
If that's what you want to do

And when you see someone you know
Say hello, say hello
And all the teachers in the room
Greet them too, say hello

Chorus
And when you see me
Be sure to greet me
And if you ask I'll say I'm fine
And when I see you
I'm sure to greet you
And if I ask say, "Hello, I'm doing fine!"

And when you see your mom and dad
You'll be glad, say hello
When Mr. Brian comes around
Come on down, say hello

Smack dab in the middle of the month
There's a day and it's all about love
And we like to call it Valentine's
A day for celebrating all the love in our lives

Listen up now, here's what you do
Get yourself a piece of paper and some glue
Cut out a heart, glue on a star or two
Write a secret message to the one who amazes you

Chorus
Happy, happy, happy Valentine's Day
Happy Valentine's Day-ee-ay-ee-ay-ee-ay-ee
Won't you be my Valentine today?

See the flowers rise and sing
In their gowns of red and green
See them swaying in the breeze
See them dancing in the spring

And as every mother knows
Feed them
Watch them as they grow
Mother Nature is the same
Rain falls
Bringing life again

See the flowers rise and sing
In their gowns of red and green
See them swaying in the breeze
See them dancing in the spring

And as every mother knows
Feed them
Watch them as they grow
Mother Nature is the same
Rain falls

One thing I need before everybody leaves
Is a great big high five
One thing I need before everybody leaves
Is a great big high five

And if I don't get one I might be sad
Think about the high fives I could have had
If I don't get one I might just cry
It might bring a tear to my eye-eye-eye-eye

One thing I need before everybody leaves is a great big high five
