He can be your friend too
If only you would understand
That he has feelings too
*
The alligator laughs and sings
He never cries the blues
I’d rather have him on my shirt
Then have him for my shoes
*
The alligator ate my friend
He can eat your friend too
If only you would understand
That he has feelings too.

Alice the Camel
Alice the camel has five humps
Alice the camel has five humps
Alice the camel has five humps
So go Alice go! Boom boom boom
Alice the camel has four humps
Alice the camel has four humps
Alice the camel has four humps
So go Alice go! Boom boom boom
Alice the camel has three humps
Alice the camel has three humps

All My life’s a Circle
All my life’s a circle
Sunrise and Sundown
The moon rolls through the nighttime
‘til the daybreak comes round
All my life’s a circle
But I can’t tell you why
The seasons spinning ‘round again
And the years keep rolling by
Alice the camel has two humps
Alice the camel has two humps
Alice the camel has two humps
So go Alice go! Boom boom boom
Alice the camel has one humps
Alice the camel has one humps
Alice the camel has one humps
So go Alice go! Boom boom boom
Seems like I’ve been here before
But I can’t remember when
I get this funny feeling
That we’ll be together again
No straight lines make up my life
All my roads have bends
There’s no clear cut beginning
And so far no dead ends
Alice the camel has no humps
Alice the camel has no humps
Alice the camel has no humps
Because Alice is a horse!
Alive, Awake, Alert
I’m alive, awake, alert, enthusiastic
I’m alive, awake, alert, enthusiastic
I’m alive, awake, alert
I’m alert, awake, alive
I’m alive, awake, alert, enthusiastic.
I’ve found you a thousand times
I guess you’ve done the same
But then we lose each other
It’s just like a children’s game
And as I see you here again
The thought runs through my mind
Our love is like a circle
Let’s go around one more time
Alligator Pie
Alligator pie, Alligator pie
If I don’t get some, I think I’m gonna die
Give away the green grass, give away the sky
But don’t give away my alligator pie
All Things Shall Perish
All things shall perish from under the sky
All things shall perish from under the sky
Music alone shall live
Music alone shall live
Music alone shall live
Never to die
Alligator stew, alligator stew
If I don’t get some I don’t know what I’ll do
Give away my furry hat, give away my shoe
But don’t give away my alligator stew
Alligator soup, alligator soup
If I don’t get some I think I’m gonna droop
Give away my hockey stick, give away my hoop
But don’t give away my alligator soup
The Animal Fair
I went to the animal fair
The birds and the beasts were there
The big baboon by the light of the moon
Was combing his auburn hair
The Monkey slipped off of his bunk
And fell on the elephants trunk
The elephant sneezed and fell on his knees
And that was the end of The monk, the monk, the monk…
The Alligator Song
*Chorus: Alligator, Alligator
Can be your friend
Can be your friend
Can be your friend too
The alligator is my friend

A horrible way to be talked to death,

Way down yonder where the dolphins play,
Where they dive and splash all day,
The waves roll in and the waves roll out,
See the water squirting out of your spout.
Baby beluga, baby Beluga, sing your little song,
Sing for all your friends, we like to hear you.

Barges
*Chorus: Barges, I would like to go with you
I would like to sail the ocean blue
Barges, have you treasures in your hold
Do you fight with pirates brave and bold?
me, I'll call the FBI
*
My mother is a butcher, my father cuts the meat and I'm a little hot
dog, running down the street
*
Out of my window, looking in the night
I can see the barges flickering light
Silently flows the river to the sea
And the barges too go silently
*
Out of my window, looking in the night
I can see the barges flickering light
Starboard shines green and port is glowing red
I can see them flickering far ahead
*How my heart longs to sail away with you
As you sail across the ocean blue
But I must sit beside my window dear
And watch you sail away from here
*

Let's all go to beaver heaven
Beaver eight, beaver nine
STOP! it's beaver time
Go beaver, go beaver, go beaver."
Be Kind to Your Web-Footed Friends

Be kind to your friends in the swamp
Where the weather is always damp
You may think that this is the end
Well it is!
The Bear went over the Mountain

Bicycle Built for Two
Daisy, Daisy, give me you answer true.
I'm half-crazy all for the love of you.
It won't be a stylish marriage, I can't afford a carriage;
But you'll look sweet, upon the seat
Of a bicycle built for two.
The other side of the mountain
The other side of the mountain
The other side of the mountain
Was all that he could see
Henry, Henry, here is your answer true;
I'm not crazy over the likes of you.
If you can't afford a carriage, forget about the marriage;
'Cause I won't be jammed, I won't be crammed
On a bicycle built for two.
Was all that he could see
Was all that he could see
The other side of the mountain
Was all that he could see

I woke up Sunday morning,
I looked up on the wall

playing a game of ball t

and knocked me out of bed

The Big Rock Candy Mountains
In the big rock candy mountains
There’s a land that’s fair and bright
Where the handouts grow on bushes
And you sleep out every night
Where the boxcars are all empty
And the sun shines everyday
Well I’m bound to go where there ain’t no snow
Where the rain don’t fall and the wind don’t blow
In the big rock candy mountains
Oh, the buzzin’ of the bees in the peppermint trees
‘Round the soda water fountains
Where the lemonade springs and the bluebirds sing
In the big rock candy mountains
You never change your socks
And little streams of lemonade
Come a-tricklin’ down the rocks
The hobos there are friendly
And their fires all burn bright
There’s a lake of stew and soda, too
You can paddle all around them in a big canoe
In the big rock candy mountains
The Birdie Song II
Way up in the sky the big birdies fly
While down in the nest, the little birdies rest
With a wing on the left, and a wing on the right
The little birdies sleep all through the night
Shhhhhh! They’re Sleeping!!!!
The sunrises up the dew goes away
“Good morning , good morning” the little birdies say
(repeat getting louder each time)
Oh the buzzin’ of the bees in the peppermint trees
‘Round the soda water fountains
Where the lemonade springs and the bluebird sings
In the big rock candy mountains
Black Socks
Black Socks, they never get dirty,
The longer you wear them the stronger they get!
Sometimes I think I should wash them
But something keeps telling me
No, no, not yet!
Billboard
As I was walking down the street one dark and dreary day,
I came upon a billboard and much to my dismay,
The sign was torn and tattered from the rain the night before.
The wind and rain had done its work and this is what I saw:
Smoke Coca-cola cigarettes, chew Wrigley's Spearmint beer.
Kennel Ration dog food makes your wife's complexion clear.
Simonize your baby with a Hershey’s candy bar.
And, Texaco's the beauty cream that's used by all the stars.
So, take your next vacation in a brand new Frigidare.
Play a Hammond organ in your Damart underwear.
Doctors say that babies should smoke 'til they are three.
And people over 65 should bathe in Lipton Tea.
Blue Bottle
I have a little present here for you
Inside this tiny bottle so very small and blue
Please do not uncork it, simply put it on away
For inside, there lies a summer's day
Put it on away
Now I’d be pleased if you didn’t ask
Why I gave this gift to you
I don’t know myself; did it on a whim
As the thought came running through
I just wanna make you happy
In a summertime sort of way
And I thought you might like your own summer's day
Put it on away
Birch Tree White
(tune: Edelweiss)
Birch tree white, our delight
Northern symbol of beauty.
Sea foam white, sea blue bright,
Tall and stately and lovely.
Pines on the hill won’t you sway and grow,
Sway and grow forever.
Birch tree white, our delight,
Guard our friendships forever.
Now can you read the writing on this tiny bottle’s wall
I know it is quite small but I can read it all
It says: She who is a readin’ me is a lookin’ right at my side
You might be kinda interested about what lies inside
They’ll be one breath of a butterfly
And one ray from the sun
And lots and lots of laughter
From little childrens' fun
So please do not uncork it
Or everything will get away
The Birdie Song
This is a repeat after me song
Early in the Morning
When I was fast asleep
I heard a little birdie
go cheep, cheep
4
And I thought you might like your own summer's day
Put it on away
We drank by the gallons,
We drank by the ton,
But then the next morning,
We all had the runs.
Next time you drink bug juice,
And a fly drives you mad,
He's just getting even,
Because you swallowed his dad.
Boom Boom Ain't it Great to be Crazy
*Chorus: Boom Boom, ain't it great to be Crazy?
Boom Boom, ain't it great to be Crazy?
Giddy and Foolish all day long
Boom Boom, ain't it great to be Crazy!
Way down south where bananas grow
A flea stepped on a elephant's toe
The elephant cried with tears in his eyes
"Why don't you pick on someone your own size?"
*
Way up north were there's ice and snow
There was a penguin and his name was Joe
He got tired of black and white
So he wore pink slacks to the dance last night!
*
A horse and a flea and three blind mice
Sat on the curbstone shooting dice
The horse, he slipped and fell on the flea
Woops! said the flea, there's a horse on me!
*
Bungalow
I'll build a bungalow big enough for two,
Big enough for two, my darling
Big enough for two.
And when we're married, happy we'll be
Under the shade of a great big bamboo tree
Boom-boom, boom-boom,
Boom boom boom boom boom boom
Boom Chica Boom
I said a boom chica boom
I said a boom chica boom
I said a boom chica rocka chica rocka chica boom
Ahuh
Oh yeah

The Buzzard Song
If, I had the wings of a buzzard,
Up through the sky I would fly,
And there I would live as a buzzard,
Until the day that I died.
I died
If you'll be M-I-N-E, mine. I'll be T-H-I-N-E, thine

Bubblegum
1.My mom gave me a penny
She said “go buy a henny”
But I didn’t buy a henny
Instead I bought some bubblegum
Bazooka zooka bubblegum Bazooka zooka bubblegum
If, I had the wings of a airplane,
Up through the sky I would fly,
And there I would live as a airplane,
Until the day that I died.
I died,

If I had the boots of a pioneer, pioneer
Into the woods I would stomp, would stomp
There to remain as a pioneer, pioneer
Until the day that I died, I died

Bug Juice
At camp with the Girl Scouts,
They gave us a drink,
We thought it was Kool-Aid,
Because it was pink.
But the thing that they told us,
Would have grossed out a moose,
For that good tasting pink drink,
Was really bug juice.
It looked fresh and fruity,
Like tasty Kool-Aid,
But the bugs that were in it,
Were murdered with Raid.
Calamine Lotion
(tune: My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean)
My body needs calamine lotion.
My body's all red, you can see.
The flowers I picked for my mommy,
Turned out to be Poison Ivy.
Don't touch! Don't touch!
Because it's Poison Ivy, ivy,
Don't touch! Don't touch!
Because it's Poison Ivy, ivy

Campfire’s Burning
Campfire’s burning, campfire’s burning
Draw nearer, draw nearer
In the glowing, in the glowing
Come sing and be merry.
Can a woman lead a nation?
Can she run a TV station?
Can she head a corporation?
Yes she can, yes she can!
Just you wait until we're older, then you'll see
We'll be women in tomorrow's history!
As we grow up through the years
We'll sing out loud and clear
Can we start the process here?
Yes we can, yes we can!!
Camping
(Tune: bicycle built for two)
Camping, camping, that’s what we like to do
Every summer, we’re off for a week or two
We never mind the weather
As long as we’re together
But we don’t approve of no room to moe
In a hike-tent built for two.
Cannibal King
Oh the cannibal king with the big nose ring
Fell in love with the dusky maid
And every night by the pale moonlight
Across the bay he came.
He hugged and kissed his pretty little miss
Under the bamboo tree
And every night by the pale moonlight
Sounds like this to me
Camp Natarswi
Camp Natarswi we are singing
A song of tribute to you
At the foot of Mt. Katahdin
Where the water sparkles blue.
Camp Natarswi we are saving
A place in our hearts for you
To the colors green and white
We will ever be true
A rump kiss kiss A rump kiss kiss A rump body oddy a
A rump kiss kiss A rump kiss kiss A rump body oddy a
Camp Natarswi II
First part: Camp Natarswi (repeated)
The years went by like one, two, three
And soon they had a family
And every night by the pale moonlight
Sounds like this to me
A rump Ma Ma A rump Pa Pa A rump body oddy a
A rump Ma Ma A rump Pa Pa A rump body oddy a
Second part: Some call it fun but others call it madness
So come along with me and wipe away your sadness
Happy campers are we having fun neath the trees
And when we are gone you will remember our song
Were from Camp Natarswi, Camp Natarswi…
And then one night
They had a fight
Under the bamboo tree
And every night by the pale moonlight
Sounds like this to me
A rump bang pow A rump You rat A rump body oddy a
A rump bang pow A rump You rat A rump body oddy a

Yes she can, yes she can!
Can a woman fix an engine?
Yes she can, yes she can!
The Cat Came Back
Old Mister Johnson had troubles of his own.
He had a yellow cat, and it wouldn't leave home.
He tried and he tried to give the cat away.
He gave it to a man going off to Bombay.
Can a woman be a drummer?
Can a woman be a plumber?
Can she play ball in the summer?
Yes she can, yes she can!
*Chorus: But, the cat came back the very next day.
The cat came back - thought it was a goner,
But the cat came back.
It just couldn't stay away.
Can a woman be a doctor?
Yes she can, yes she can!
Can a woman drive a tractor?
Yes she can. yes she can!
He gave it to a man going way out west,
Told him to take it to the one he loved the best.
6
The train hit a curve, and it jumped the rail.
Not a soul was left to tell the gruesome tale.
*
Gave it to a gambler with a dollar note,
Told him to take it up the river in a boat,
Tied a rope around its neck that must have weighed a pound.
Now they drag the river for the gambler that drowned.
*
Gave it to a feller up in a balloon,
Telling him to take it to the man in the moon.
The balloon, it busted, and everybody said
Ten miles away, they picked that feller up good and dead.
*
The farmer swore he'd kill the yellow cat on sight,
Loaded up his shotgun with nails and dynamite,
Waited and he waited for it to come around.
Ninety-seven pieces of the man is all they found.
*
Way across the ocean, they sent the cat at last,
Vessel only out a day and taking water fast.
People all began to pray, the boat began to toss,
Great big gust of wind came by, and every soul was lost.
*
On a telegraph wire, sparrows in a bunch.
Cat was feeling hungry, thought they'd be good for lunch.
Climbed softly up the pole, and when it reached the top,
Stepped on the electric wire which tied it in a knot.
*
The cat got discouraged and thought the thing to do
Was to take a vacation upon the ocean blue.
So it took a voyage to six foreign cities,
And came home one month later with six little kitties.
*
Cat was possessor of a family of its own
With six little kittens 'till there came a cyclone,
Blew the house apart and tossed the cat around.
The air was full of kittens; not one was ever found.

Chicken Lips and Lizard Hips
Oh, when I was a camper, I never liked to eat;
The cook'd put things upon my plate, I'd dump them on his feet;
But then one day he made this soup, I ate it all in bed;
I asked him what he'd put in it, and this is what he said.
* Chorus: Oh, chicken lips and lizard hips and alligator eyes;
Monkey legs and buzzard eggs and salamander thighs;
Rabbit ears and camel rears and tasty toenail pies;
Stir them all together, it's called the cook's surprise.
*
Now the child of yesterday's grown twenty
Although some dreams are lost, some grandeurs coming true
There'll be new dreams, maybe better dreams and plenty
Before the last revolving year is through.
*
Cockles and Mussels
In Dublin's fair city, where the girls are so pretty,
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone,
As she pushed her wheel barrow,
Through streets broad and narrow,
Crying cockles and mussels alive, alive, Oh!
I went into the bathroom and stood beside the sink;
I said I'm feeling slightly ill, I think I'd like a drink;
The cook he said, "I've just the thing, I'll get it in a wink;
It's full of lots of protein, and vitamins I think."
*
*Chorus: Alive, alive, Oh!
Alive, alive, Oh!
Crying cockles and mussels alive, alive, Oh!
Chocolate Chip Cookies
They're made out of sugar and butter and flour
You put 'em in the oven about a quarter hour,
But the thing that gives them their magic power
Is the chocolate chips inside.
She was a fishmonger, but it sure was no wonder,
For so were her father and mother before,
And they each pushed their wheel barrow,
Through streets broad and narrow,
Crying cockles and mussels alive, alive, Oh!
*
She died of a fever, and no one could save her,
And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone;
Her ghost wheels her barrow,
Through streets broad and narrow,
Crying cockles and mussels alive, alive, Oh!
*
*Chorus: Chocolate chip cookies, you gotta have more
You can bake 'em in the oven, or buy 'em at the store
But whatever you do, have 'em ready at my door
And I'll love ya till I die.
You can't eat one, you can't eat two
Once you start chewing, there's nothing to do
But clean your plate, and eat the crumbs too
Then go and find some more
*
Now when I die, I don't want wings
A golden halo or a harp that sings
Give me a book, a fire, and someone that brings me
Chocolate chip cookies all day; with milk please
*
Coming of the Frogs
(Tune: Battle Hymn of the Republic)
Mine eyes have seen the horror of the coming of the frogs,
They are sneaking through the swamps, they are lurking under logs
You can hear their mournful croaking through the early morning fog,
The frogs keep hopping on.
*Chorus: Ribbit, Ribbit, Ribbit, Croak, Croak,
Ribbit, Ribbit, Ribbit, Croak, Croak,
Ribbit, Ribbit, Ribbit, Croak, Croak,
The frogs keep hopping on.
The Circle Game
Yesterday a child came out to wander
Caught a dragonfly insider a jar
Fearful when the skies are full of thunder
And tearful at the falling of a star.
The frogs have grown in number and their croaking fills the air,
There is no place to escape to cos' the frogs are everywhere,
They've eaten all the flies now they're as hungry as a bear,
The frogs keep hopping on.
*
I used to like the bullfrogs, like to feel they're slimy skin,
Like to put them in my teachers desk and take them home
again.
Now they're knocking at the front door, I can't let those frogs come
in,
The frogs keep hopping on.
*
They hopped into the living room and headed down the hall,
They have trapped me in a corner and my back's against the wall,
And when I open up my mouth to give a desperate call,
This is all that's heard:
*
*Chorus: And the seasons, they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down.
We're captives on the carousel of time.
We can't return, we can only look behind from where we came
And go round and round and round in the circle game.
Now the child's grown ten times round the seasons
Skated over ten clear frozen streams
Words like "when you're older" must appease her
And promises of someday make her dream.
*
Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now
Cartwheels turn to car wheels through the town
And they tell her "take your time, it won't be long now
Before you drag your feet to slow the circle down."

I'll love you always
In spite of your lisp (Ba da da da dum)

Cornflakes and milk
And my darling you too (Ba da da da dum)
Without you
Life would be icky-poo (Ba da da da dum)

Commercial Mix-Up
(Tune: Farmer in the Dell)
Last night I watched TV.
I saw my favorite show
I heard this strange commercial
I can't believe it's so.
Feed your dog Chiffon,
Comet cures a cold
Use SOS pads on your face
To keep from looking old.
Mop your floor with Crest.
Use Crisco on your tile.
Clean your teeth with Borateem,
It leaves a shining smile.
For headaches take some Certs,
Use Tide to clean your face.
And do shampoo with Elmer's Glue
It holds your hair in place.
Perhaps I am confused.
I might not have it right.
But one things that I'm certain of. . .
I'll watch TV. tonight!
Counselors
(Tune: barges)
Out of my tent flap looking in the night
I can see the leaders, boy, what a sight!
Curlers in their hair and cold cream on their face
They look like something from outer space
Counselors, I would like to be with you
I would like to have some privileges too
Counselors, have you cookies in your hold?
Do you share with campers brave and bold.
Out of my tent flap looking in the night
I can see the counselors having a fight
Silently goes the pillow throw the air
And here comes someone’s underwear
Cornflakes and Milk
*Chorus:
His eyes were like diamonds his hair was like silk na na na na
I’ll always love him like corn flakes and milk na na na na
Corn flakes and milk na na na na
Corn flakes and milk na na na na
Corn flakes and milk my Love!
Counselors, I don’t want to be with you
I would probably end up black and blue
Counselors, have you cookies in your hold?
Do you share with Scouts good as gold
I was hiking at sudden day falls na na na na
He was hiking and making bird calls na na na na
The minute I saw him I noticed his feet na na na na
I was so nervous my heart skipped a beat na na na na
*
We went hiking and then he proposed na na na na
I thought for a minute and said I suppose na na na na
As I was hiking my tummy said no na na na na
Dump this guy take your backpack and go na na na na

Crabs Walk Sideways
Herman met Sally on the beach one night,
The sea was calm and the starfish were bright.
She looked at him and he looked at her it was true love at first sight.
Well, Herman told his folks about the girl that he found,
They said,"Herman there must be other girls around.
'Cause crabs walk sideways, lobsters walk straight and
We won't let you take her for your mate."
*Chorus: Crabs walk sideways and lobsters walk straight,
And you can't take a crab for your mate.
Cornflakes and Milk II
Your eyes are like diamonds
Your hair is like silk (Ba da da da dum)
I'll love you always
Like cornflakes and milk (Ba da da dadum)
Well, Herman told his Sally and it broke her heart
She loved that lobster right from the start
He took her in his claws and said "I'll always be yours,
But still, dear, we'll have to part."
*
She said, "Let me talk to your mom and dad,
I'll show them crabs really aren't that bad."
But they turned her away"
What will the neighbors say.
And they laughed at the funny walk she had.
*
Then one day on the sandbar what did Herman see,
But his little ol' Sally walking straight as can be.
He said, "Sweetheart now they'll take you in the family!"
She said, "Don't you sweetheart me! Hic!"
*
*Chorus: So please help me to love you as much as
I love cornflakes and milk (Ba da da da dum)
Cornflakes and milk I love you so.
I don't like oatmeal,
Or even Cheerios (Ba da da da dum)
You've got the secret
That only Kellogg’s knows (Ba da da da dum)

The gay desperado was a strollin' down the street.
A big, old fat policeman came a stompin' down the street
He took him by the collar and he took him by the seat.
And put him where he couldn't give his war hoot.

Cuddly Koalas, Cuddly koalas
Possums too, possums too

Darling
Darling, won't you wait,
Won't you wait, won't you wait,
For I must go far away?
Darling, won't you wait,
Won't you wait, won't you wait,
'Till I come back home to stay?
Should another love come along,
Come along, come along,
Simply say that you're not free
Send them on their way,
On them way, on their way,
Darling, won't you wait for me?
Oh my love, some of us they say are bound to die,
Oh, my love, how it breaks my heart to say goodbye
Oh, my love, when I'm far away I miss you so,
Hold me close, kiss me once again before I go.
Go this way and that way
And that way and this way
Did you ever see a (laddie)
Go this way or that?
Dona
On a wagon, bound for market, there's a calf with a mournful eye,
High above him flies a swallow, winging swiftly through the sky,
*Chorus:
How the winds are laughing, they laugh with all their might,
laugh and laugh the whole day through and half the summers night,
Dona, Dona, dona, dona, dona, dona, dona, don- Dona, dona, dona,
dona, dona, dona, dona, donStop complaining, said the farmer, who told you a calf to be?
Why don't you have wings to fly with, like the swallow so proud
and free?
*
Calves are easily bound and slaughtered, never knowing the reason
why, But whoever treasures freedom, like the swallow has learned to
fly
*
Desperado
There was a desperado from the wild and woolly west,
He rode into Chicago just to give the west a rest.
He wore a big sombrero and two pistols at his side
And everywhere he went he gave his war hoot.
*Chorus: Oh what a big, bold, man was this desperado.
From Cripple Creek clear down in Colorado.
And he horsed around like a big tornado.
And everywhere he went he gave his war hoot.
Doughnut Shop
Oh I walked around the corner and I walked around the block
And I walked right into a doughnut shop
I picked up a doughnut and I shook of the grease
And I handed the lady a five cent piece.
We-e-e-ll she looked at the nickel and she looked at me
And she said "Kind sir would you pardon me!"
He went to Cooney Island just to take in all the sights.
He saw the hoochie coochies and the girls all dressed in tights.
It got him so excited that he shot out all the lights.
And everywhere he went he gave his war hoot.
10
"There's a hole in the nickel and it goes right through."
I said "Aye there's a hole in the doughnut too."
"Thanks for the doughnut. Good day!"
"Did you ever have a time
When you couldn't make a rhyme?"
Down by the bay.
Down By the Bay
Down by the bay
Where the watermelons grow
Back to my home
I dare not go
For if I do
My mother will say
"Did you ever see a fly
Wearing a tie?"
Down by the bay.
Down by the Station
This is for the people who never rode the train
Whether from California or even up in Maine
Makes no difference if you’re two or two hundred and two
You’ll det a treat when you order a seat on the old choo choo
Down by the bay
Where the watermelons grow
Back to my home
I dare not go
For if I do
My mother will say
"Did you ever see a bear
Combing his hair?"
Down by the bay.
Down by the bay
Where the watermelons grow
Back to my home
I dare not go
For if I do
My mother will say
"Did you ever see a moose
Kissing a goose?"
Down by the bay.
Do Your Ears Hang Low
Do your ears hang low?
Do they wobble to and fro?
Can you tie them in a knot?
Can you tie them in a bow?
Can you throw them over your shoulder
Like a continental soldier?
Do your ears hang low?
Down by the station early in the morning
See the little puffer bellies all in a row
See the station master turn the little handle
Chug, chug, toot, toot, off we go
Do your ears flip-flop?
Can you use them for a mop?
Are they stringy at the bottom?
Are they curly at the top?
Can you use them for a swatter?
Can you use them for a blotter?
Do your ears flip-flop?
Do your ears hang high?
Do they reach up to the sky?
Do they droop when they're wet?
Do they stiffen when they're dry?
Can you semaphore your neighbor
With a minimum of labor?
Do your ears hang high?
Down by the bay
Where the watermelons grow
Back to my home
I dare not go
For if I do
My mother will say
"Did you ever see a whale
With a polka dot tail?"
Down by the bay.
Do your ears hang wide?
Do they flap from side to side?
Do they wave in the breeze
From the slightest little sneeze?
Can you soar above the nation
With a feeling of elation?
Do your ears hang wide?
Down by the bay
Where the watermelons grow
Back to my home
I dare not go
For if I do
My mother will say
"Did you ever see some llamas
Eating pajamas?"
Down by the bay.
Do your ears fall off
When you give a great big cough?
Do they lie there on the ground
Or bounce around at every sound?
Can you stick them in your pocket,
Just like little Davey Crocket?
Do your ears fall off
Down by the bay
Where the watermelons grow
Back to my home
I dare not go
For if I do
My mother will say
The Duck Rover
I'm an old duck rover from out in Montana,
I round up them duckies and drive them along,
To a flooded coral where we bulldog and brand 'em,
11
Mosey on home just a'singing this song.
*Chorus:
Singin': quack, quack, yippee-ay, and quack, quack, yippeeoh,
Get along little duckies, get along real slow.
Well, it's dirty and smelly, and it really don't pay,
But I'll be a duck girl 'til the end of my days.
On Saturday night I ride into town,
On a short-legged pony with my hat pulled way down.
But the boys don't like duck girls and I can't figure why.
No cowgirl could be more romantic than I.
*
There's danger, adventure, and romance I know,
From a wild duck stampeed to a duck rodeo.
But there's loneliness too and it cuts to the bone.
Whey you smell like duck feathers you're always alone.
*
And his pockets in his pants?
Have you ever seen a fish
Do the huchi-cuchi dance.
Well, I have been a-fishin'
On a bright and sunny day
And I have seen a fish
Swim in and out the bay
With his hands in his pockets
And his pockets in his pants
But I've never seen a fish
Do the huchi-cuchi dance.
Everywhere We Go

And where we come from

And if the can’t hear us
We’ll shout a little louder

An Early Worm Got Out of Bed
An early worm got out of bed
And murmured “I feel mean!
I’ll put my darkest glasses on,
And paint myself bright green.”
“I’ll dress up in my wildest wig,
The one with purple bangs,
I’ll also wear a pair of horns,
And artificial fangs.”
(when really loud the last two lines should be)
And if they can’t hear us
They must be deaf
That early worm poked up his head,
Which looked a perfect fright,
An early bird observed the worm
And lost its appetite.

Grandfather's Clock
My grandfather's clock was too large for the shelf,
So it stood ninety years on the floor.
It was taller by half than the old man himself,
Though it weighed not a pennyweight more.
It was bought on the morn of the day that he was born,
And was always his treasure and pride;
But it stopped, short, never to go again
When the old man died.
Greasers
I have 10 pairs of white socks
I only wear one pair
And every night I pour vaseline on my hair
Cause I’m a greaser Woo!
Your local greaser woo!
Cause I’m a greaser and I hang out everywhere!
*Chorus: Ninety years without slumbering, tick, tock, tick, tock,
His life seconds numbering, tick, tock, tick, tock,
It stopped, short, never to go again, when the old man died.
In watching its pendulum swing to and fro,
Many hours had he spent as a boy;
And in childhood and manhood the clock seemed to know
And to share both his grief and his joy.
For it struck twenty-four when he entered at the door
With a blooming and beautiful bride.
But it stopped, short, never to go again
When the old man died.
*
My grandfather said that of those he could hire,
Not a servant so faithful he found;
For it wasted no time, and had but one desire:
At the close of each week to be wound.
And it kept in its place, not a frown upon its face,
And its hands never hung by its side.
But it stopped, short, never to go again
*
When the old man died.
It rang in alarm in the dead of the night,
An alarm that for years had been dumb.
And we knew that his spirit was plumbing its flight,
That his hour of departure had come.
Still the clock kept the time, with a soft and muffled chime,
As we silently stood by his side
But it stopped, short, never to go again
When the old man died.
*
If you’re looking for some action
And all your friends are square
Just call your local greaser and
Black leather’s what to wear
Cause I’m a greaser Woo!
Your local greaser woo!
Cause I’m a greaser and I hang out everywhere!

From the lakes
From the hills
From the sky
All is well
Safely rest

That great big grizzly, grizzly bear,

I said, “no”
He said, “turn the button with your left hand”
Hello my name in Joe and I work in a button factory
I have a house, a dog, and a family
One day my said to me, “Hey Joe, are you busy?”
I said, “no”
He said, “turn the button with your right hand”
Highland Goat
This is a repeat after me song sort of
My highland goat
Was feeling fine
Ate six red shirts
From off the line
Hello my name in Joe and I work in a button factory
I have a house, a dog, and a family
One day my said to me, “Hey Joe, are you busy?”
I said, “no”
He said, “turn the button with your left foot”
His master Jack
Gave him a whack
And tied him to
The railroad track
Hello my name in Joe and I work in a button factory
I have a house, a dog, and a family
One day my said to me, “Hey Joe, are you busy?”
I said, “no”
He said, “turn the button with your right foot”
Hello my name in Joe and I work in a button factory
I have a house, a dog, and a family
One day my said to me, “Hey Joe, are you busy?”
I said, “no”
He said, “turn the button with your head”
The whistle blew
The train drew nigh
My highland goat
Was doomed to die
He gave a groan
Of awful pain
Coughed up the shirts
And flagged down the train
(Sing the song again but extend the last syllable of each line
with out repeating)
Hello my name is Joe and I work in a button factory
I have a house, and a dog, and a family
One day, my boss said to me, "Hey Joe, are you busy?"
I said, "Yes!!!"
Hot/Dog
When you are hot, you are very, very hot
And when you are not, you are not hot, hot
Herman the Worm
Sittin' on my fencepost, chewing my bubblegum
Playin' with my yo-yo, wee-oo! wee-oo!
When along came Herman the worm
And he was this big And I said: "Herman? What happened?"
"I ate my sister."
Loving you is as easy as falling off a log
A cat’ll love a cat and dog’ll love a dog, dog
House at Pooh Corner
Christopher Robin and I walked along
16
Under branches lit up by the moon
Posing our questions to Owl and Eeyore
As our days disappeared all too soon
But I've wandered much further today than I should
And I can't seem to find my way back to the Wood
Then shelter, bread, or wine
Hump De dump
Hump de dump hump hump de dumpty dumpty
Hump de dump hump hump de dumpty dumpty
Old king cole was a merry old soul and a very old soul was he
He called for his pipe and he called for his bowl
And ew ain’t that funky now
Hump de dump hump hump de dumpty dumpty
Hump de dump hump hump de dumpty dumpty
(insert a nursery rythme but only sing the first three lines)
* Chorus: So help me if you can
I've got to get Back to the House
At Pooh Corner by one
You'd be surprised there's so much to be done
Count all the bees in the hive
Chase all the clouds from the sky
Back to the days of Christopher Robin and Pooh
Nursery Rhyme suggestions:
Humpty Dumpty; Jack and Jill; Jack Sprat;
Little Bo beep; Little Boy Blue; Little Jack Horner;
Little Miss Muffet; Mary had a little lamb;
Mary, Mary Quite Contrary; Old Mother Hubbard;
Peter. Peter Pumpkin Eater…etc
Winnie the Pooh doesn't know what to do
Got a honey jar stuck on his nose
He came to me asking help and advice
And from here no one knows where he goes
So I sent him to ask of the Owl if he's there
How to loosen a jar from the nose of a bear
*
It's hard to explain how a few precious things
Seem to follow throughout all our lives
After all's said and done I was watching my son
Sleeping there with my bear by his side
So I tucked him in, I kissed him and as I was going
I swear that old bear whispered,"Boy, welcome home"
I’d Like to Give you Sunshine
I’d like to give you sunshine
On a rainy day in May
A candle when your life is dark
A shoulder when tears come your way
I’d like to give a smile to you
On days that seem so long
But all that I can do right now
Is give to you my song
Believe me if you can I've finally come
Back to the House at Pooh Corner by one
What do you know there's so much to be done
Count all the bees in the hive
Chase all the clouds from the sky
Back to the days of Christopher Robin
Back to the ways of Christopher Robin
I’ve tried to keep my distance
Tried not to change a thing
But I’ve run myself in circles
And find that I am stumbling
You always want to learn
Reaching out, just being you
If I could give you anything
I’d give my love to you
The Human Touch
It’s the human touch in this world that counts
the touch of your hand in mine
It means far more to the fainting heart
Then shelter, bread, or wine
Summer skies could darken
And rainbows leave the sky
Mountain tops could tumble
And I’m sure that I would cry
Knowing you brings sunshine
Spreads colors warm and strong
Beautifies the mountain tops
And days are never long
For shelter’s gone when the night is over
And bread lasts only a day
But the touch of your hand and the sound of your voice
Live on in my soul always
May the road rise up to greet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the sunshine warm upon your face
The rain fall soft on the fields
Time will pass and days go by
With you I’ll laugh and I’ll cry
Just keep in mind
How much I care
Don’t ever say good bye
And until we meet again someday
May god hold you in the palm of his hand
May the memories that we have shared
Linger on and on
I’d like to give you sunshine
On a rainy day in May
A candle when your life is dark
A shoulder when tears come your way
I’d like to give a smile to you
On days that seem so long
It’s the human touch in this world that counts
the touch of your hand in mine
It means far more to the fainting heart
17
But all that I can do right now
Is give to you my song
I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing
I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony.
I'd like to hold it in my arms and keep it company.
I'd like to build the world a home and furnish it with love,
Grow apple trees and honey bees and snow white turtle doves.
I'd like to see the world for once all standing hand in hand,
And hear them echo through the hills for peace throughout the land.
That's the song that I hear, let the world sing today.
A song of peace that echos on and never goes away.

I Have a Daisy on My Toe
I have a daisy on my toe.
It is not real. It does not grow.
It's just a tattoo of a flower,
So I'll look neat taking a shower.
It's on the second toe of my left foot,
A stem and flower, but there's no root--because that wouldn't look good !
It's just a daisy on my toe.
My left foot loves my right foot so !
I knew an old lady who swallowed a horse She dead of course!

I’m in Love with a Big Blue Frog
I'm in love with a big blue frog
A big blue frog loves me
It's not as bad as it appears

They'll be great lookers cause they'll have my face
Great swimmers cause they'll have his feet

Lying on the cold , cold ground,

His Daddy an enchanted Prince
Called myself on the telephone,
Just to see if I was home,
Asked myself out on a date,
Gotta be ready by half past eight!

Took myself to the movie grand,
Just to hold my little hand,
Wrapped my arms around my waist,
I got fresh I slapped my face!

I got ruffles on my opps
Boys take another guess
I’ve got ruffles on my dress

And I’ll make clear to you

It says P.H.R.O.G.
That's frog to me P.H.R.O.G.

Irish Lullaby
Over in Killarney
Many years ago,
Me Mither sang a song to me
In tones so sweet and low.
Just a simple little ditty,
In her good ould Irish way,
And l'd give the world if she could sing
That song to me this day.
I’m a Rambler, I’m a Gambler
*Chorus: I’m a rambler I’m a gambler
I’m a long way from home
And if you don’t like me then, then leave me alone
I’ll eat when I’m hungry, I’ll drink when I’m dry
And if the moonshine don’t kill me, I’ll till I die
I’ve been a moonshiner for many a year
I’ve spent all my money on Whiskey and beer
I’ll go to my hollow and set up my stool
I’d bid you a gallon for a ten dollar bill
*
Dear monshine oh moonshine oh how I love you
You killed my poor father but dare you kill me
"Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Too-ra-loo-ra-li,
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, hush now, don't you cry!
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Too-ra-loo-ra-li,
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, that's an Irish lullaby."

Oft in dreams I wander
To that cot again,
I feel her arms a-huggin' me
As when she held me then.
And I hear her voice a -hummin'
To me as in days of yore,
When she used to rock me fast asleep
Outside the cabin door.
The old man stood out in the storm
His shoes were full of feet
*
An old man lay by a sewer
And by the sewer he died
Now, at the coroner’s request
They called it sewer-side
*
A golf ball sailin’ through the air
Whizzed by a man a hummin’
He heard a caddy hollar “Fore!”
An’ we thought three more were comin’
*
My father built a chimney
He built up so high
He had to take it down each night
To let the moon go by
*
"Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Too-ra-loo-ra-li,
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, hush now, don't you cry!
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Too-ra-loo-ra-li,
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, that's an Irish lullaby."
Irish Sea
When I was one sucked my thumb
* Chorus: The day I went to sea
I climbed aboard a pirate ship and the captain said to me
We’re going this way that way forward and backward
Over the Irish sea
Some bubblegum to warm my tum
And that’s the life for me
Itsy Bitsy’s Birthday
(tune: itsy bitsy spider)
The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the birthday cake
Isty bitsy quickly learned he’d made a big mastake
He climbed up on the candle before the cake was cut
And the itsy bitsy spider, he burned his little butt!
When I was two I buckled my shoe
*
When I was three I climbed a tree
*
When I was four I knocked on the door
*
When I was five I did a dive
*
When I was six I picked up sticks
*
When I was seven I went to heaven
*
When I was eight I opened the gate
*
When I was nine I found a dime
*
When I was ten I built a den

The Knight Song
When the knight won his spurs, in the stories of old
He was gentle and brave, he was gallant and bold
With a shield on his arm, and a lance in his hand
For god and for valor, he rode through the land
No charger have I, no sword by my side
Yet still to adventure and battle I ride
For back into story land giants have fled
And the knights are no more and the dragons are dead
Let faith be my shield, let joy be my stead
Against the dragons of anger and the ogres of greed
And let me set free with the sword of my youth
From the castle of darkness, to the palace of truth
Jetplane
All my bags are packed I’m ready to go
I’m standing here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say good bye
But the dawn is breaking it’s early morn
The taxi’s waiting he’s blowing his horn
Already I’m so lonesome I could cry
*Chorus: So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you’ll wait for me
Hold me like you’ll never let me go
Cause I’m leaving on a jet plane
Don’t know when I’ll be back again
Oh babe I hate to go
Kookaburra
Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree,
Merry, merry king of the bush is he,
Laugh kookaburra, laugh kookaburra
Gay your life must be, ha, ha ,ha!
Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
Eating all gumdrops he can see
Stop kookaburra, stop kookaburra,
Save some there for me, ha, ha, ha!
There’s so many times I’ve let you down
So many times I’ve played around
I tell you now that they don’t mean a thing
Everyplace I go I think of you
21
Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
Counting all the monkeys he can see
Stop kookaburra, stop kookaburra
That’s not a monkey, that’s me ha, ha ,ha!

Wanders at will

Going ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
If all of the sleets were vegetables and meats
Oh what a rain it would be
I’d stand outside with my mouth shut tight
Going uh uh uh uh uh uh uh
Late One Night
Late one night, when we were all in bed
Old Lady Leary lit a lantern in the shed
And when the cow kicked it over,
She winked her eye and said,
"There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight."
Fire! Fire! Fire!
Linger
Mmm, I want to linger
Mmm, a little longer
Mmm, a little longer here with you
Mmm, its such a perfect night
Mmm, it doesn't seem quite right
Mmm, that this should be my last with you

Little things can be

Then try my luck with a lollipop
Cause a lollipop I always drop
And it gets all over icky
Oh it makes me sick the way it sticks
And it gets all over my hair and icky
Well a jelly bean is always clean
With a lollipop all icky

And he went down
Then try my luck with a lollipop

I took a sip, And he went down, All through my pipes, He surely
icky icky icky icky bleugh!

end!
She had two eyes in the middle of her head
One was green and the other one was red

No one knew how she got around like that
One day a ten-ton truck ran over poor Magdalena

And the poor guy had to get a new machine
That you can hardly see

Like honeycomb and spider webs And starfish in the sea.
Magic
I believe in little things
When I was young I thought the stars
Like icy drops of rain
Were made for wishing on
That melt into the morning mist
And every hole deep in a tree
When winds are warm again.
Would hide a leprechaun
Old houses all had secret rooms
I believe in little things
If one could find the key
Like colors in the sky
I do believe in magic, I believe
23
*Chorus: Magic is the sun
That makes the rainbow out of rain
And magic keeps the dream alive
To try and try again
Magic is the love that stays
When good friends have to leave
I do believe in magic, I believe
(Chorus 2)
Farewell, good Jonell
How I wish I could stay
Good-bye, first love of mine
Look for my sail on the first day of may
Out ancestors sailed on a day such as this
Widows watch curtains hung in the gray morning mist
While up on the commons a church chime would ring
And down on the landing a young maiden sings
Growing up, a grown-up said
Someday I’d awake to find
That magic was childhood game
I’d have to leave behind
Likes clothes that I’d outgrown
Or toys that I’d ignore
I’d not believe in magic anymore
*
When I grew up I woke one day
And much to my surprise
Magic did not fade away
It took a new disguise
A child, a game, a smile, a song
The courage to stand tall
I do believe in magic after all
I do believe in magicLove’s the greatest magic
I do believe in magic, I believe
(group splits ½ sing chorus and other ½ sing chorus 2)
It’s a marblehead morning colored cobblestone gray
As long as I’m gone, I’ll remember today
Me and My Dinosaur
One day while the weather was cold and gray
I wished somebody’d come over and play
I heard a knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur
*Chorus: Me and my dinosaur
I never had such a friend before
As big as a house, twenty times and a half
And fifty times taller then any giraffe
Legs as long as a sequioa tree
Teeth as big as piano keys
No two people are buddies more
Then me and my dinosaur
Make New Friends
Make new friends
But keep the old,
One is silver,
And the other is gold
We hop-scotch to Africa, as quick as a breeze
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees
And when we got thirsty mile after mile
In one big gulp, we just drank up the Nile
*
We went to town and then we went to school
My dinosaur, gee he is really cool
I climbed all the way from his tail to his cheek
Without stopping once it took nearly a week
*
A circle’s round
It has no end
That’s how long,
I want to be your friend
I have a hand
You have another
Put them together
And we have each other.
Michael Finnegan
There was an old man named Michael Finnegan
He had whiskers on his Chinnegan
Along came the wind and blew them in again
Poor old Michael Finnegan, begin
Marblehead Morning
It’s a Marblehead morning colored cobblestone gray
Coming on strong to a New England day
The harbors are forests of tall sailing trees
Getting ready to sail on a mid-morning breeze
There was an old man named Michael Finnegan
He kicked up an awful Dinnegan
Because they said he could not sing again
Poor old Michael Finnegan, begin again
(Chorus 1)
Fair is my captain, I long to tell him so
Haul away, heave away, he’s going to sail away
Good times are passing by, high tide is running high
Haul away, heave away, he’s going to leave today
There was an old man named Michael Finnegan
He went fishing with a Pinnegan
Caught a fish and dropped it in again
Poor old Michael Finnegan, begin again
For three hundred years of going to sea
The Marblehead men left the woman to keep
A close watch upon the fine line between
The blue of the sky and the green of the sea
There was an old man named Michael Finnegan
24
He grew fat and then grew thin again
Then he died and had to begin again
Poor old Michael Finnegan, begin again
And they couldn't laugh, Ha Ha
and they couldn't cry, Boo Who
All they did is go like this:
With their right wing
With their left wing

Moon on the Meadow
Moon on the meadow, bugs in our ears
Smoke in our eyes, wet wood and tears
On up the meadow, water somewhere
We were the only ones there
Wild horse to slushy, dry lake the peak
Finding the love, everyone seeks
Hiking to rainbows, sunsets and stars
Just finding out who we are
We will return here, one lucky day
Our hearts will guide us, they know the way
People in cities don’t understand
Falling in love with the land
Moon on the meadow, bugs in our ears
Smoke in our eyes, wet wood and tears
On up the meadow, water somewhere
With you my friend I am there

My Dream Came True
(Tune: I’ve been working on the railroad)
I was dreaming of a campfire, burning clear and bright
Sparkling stars were all above me, upon a summer’s night
I was dreaming that my best friends all were dreaming too
When I woke and looked around me, I saw my dream came true
My Hat it Has Three Corners
My hat it has three corners
Three corners has my hat
And had it not three corners
It would not be my hat
My Momma don’t Wear no Socks
My momma don’t wear no socks

A ding dong
She threw them into outer space
A ding dong
That was the end of the whole human race
A ding dong, dong, dong, dong

Once a Girl Scout
Once a Girl Scout went to camp, went camp
Went to camp without a lamp, without a lamp
Saw a spider sitting in her bed
And this is what the Girl Scout said, Girl Scout said
Spider, spider, go away, go away
You are not allowed to stay, allowed to stay
Remember what the counselors said, counselors said
No two bodies in one bed, in one bed
Once a boy Scout went to camp, went camp
Went to camp without a lamp, without a lamp
Saw a spider sitting on his bed
And this is what the Boy Scout said, Boy Scout said
AAAAHHHHH!
One Bottle of Pop

One Day
(sort of a repeat after me song)
One day
Walking in the sun
We laughed
Friendship has begun
Same day
Talking in the sun
Two there
Becoming one
Time pass
Friends part
Friendship lasts
Bond between hearts
We'll be girl scouts forever and when we're done,
They'll still be a'tryin and a'singin this song
*
Two together
Two alone
Love each other
Find our way home
On the Loose
*Chorus: On the loose to climb a mountain,
On the loose where I am free.
On the loose to live my life, the way I think my life should be,
For I've only got a moment and a whole world yet to see.
I'll be looking for tomorrow on the loose.
One day
Forever long
Build a bond
Forever strong
Have you ever seen the sunrise turn the sky completely red,
Have you slept beneath the moon and stars, a pine bough for your
bed
Have you sit and talk with friends, through a word was never said
One Tin Soldier
Listin’ children to a story that was written long ago
Then you're just like me and you've been on the loose.
‘bout a kingdom on a mountain and the valley far below
*
On the mountain was a treasure buried deep beneath a stone
There's a trail that I'll be hiking just to see where it might go.
And the valley people swore they’d have it for their very own
Many places yet to visit, many people yet to know,
For in following in my dreams, I will live and I will grow,
*Chorus: So go ahead and hate your neighbor, go ahead and cheat a On a trail that's waiting out there on the loose.
friend
*
Do it in the name of heaven you can justify it in the end
So in search of love and laughter, I'll be traveling cross this land
There won’t be any trumpets blowing come the judgement day
Never sure of where I'm going, for I haven't got any plan,
For the bloody morning after one tin soldier rides away
So in time when you are ready, come and join me and take my hand,
And together we'll share life out there on the loose.
So the people of the valley sent a message up the hill
*
Asking for the buried treasure tons of gold for which they killed
In this world that I am traveling, I will think of you this way.
Came an answer from the mountain, with our brothers we will share Remembering your smile, for it seems like yesterday
All the secrets of our mountain, all the treasures buried there
When we slept beneath the stars, and we dreamed about this day
*
Now we have come together on the loose.
So the valley cried in anger, mount your horses draw your swords
*
And they killed the mountain people so they won their just reward
Do the trees in the forest make you sit and think of love?
Now they stood beside the treasure, on the mountain dark and red
Does it take you twenty times or more to count the stars above?
Turned the stone and looked beneath peace on earth was all it said
For I'm here now and I like it and the hours melt away,
*
And if I want I'll stay here another day.
*
As I sit and watch the sunset and the daylight softly fades,
On My Honor
People don't need to know my name
I am thinking of tomorrow and the friendships we have made.
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
I will value them for always and I hope you'll do the same,
If I've helped another then I've helped me
And forever we'll explore life on the loose.
If I've opened up my eyes to see
*
Now the moon is softly glowing and the stars are twinkling bright
*Chorus: On my honor, I will try
Our laughter and our friendship have cleared this cloudy night
There's a duty to be done and I say aye
Come and join our flickering campfire, come and sing our happy
There's a reason here for a reason above
songs
My honor is to try, and my duty is to love
And together we'll share life out on the loose.
*
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low, there's one for you
On Top of Spaghetti
If you need a friend then I will come
On top of spaghetti
And there's many more where I come from
All covered with cheese
*
I lost my poor meatball
Come with me where the fire burns bright
When somebody sneezed
You can even see better by a candle's light
You can find more meaning in a campfire's glow
It rolled off the table
Than you'll ever find in a year or so.
And onto the floor
*
And then my poor meatball
We've made a promise to always keep
Rolled right out the door
And to sing Day is Done before we sleep
29
It rolled into the garden
And under a bush
And then my poor meatball
Was nothing but mush
Into the air,
But I missed that branch,
Away up there.
And so I jumped into the air, but I missed that branch away up there.
The mush was tasty
As tasty as can be
And early next summer
It grew into a tree
Now don't you fret,
Now don't you frown,
Cause I caught that branch,
On the way back down.
Now don't you fret now don't you frown, cause I caught that branch
on the way back down.
The tree was covered
With beautiful moss
It grew lovely meatballs
And tomato sauce
This is the end
There ain’t no more
Until I meet
That bear once more
This is the end there ain’t no more until I meet that bear once more
So if you eat spaghetti
All covered with cheese
Hold onto your meatball
And don’t ever sneeze
But I did meet
That bear once more
He was a rug
upon my floor
But I did meet that bear once more he was a rug upon my floor
The Other Day
This is a repeat after me song sort of,
The other day,
I met a bear,
Out in the woods,
A way out there.
The other day I met a bear, out in the woods a way out there.
He looked at me,
I looked at him,
He sized up me,
I sized up him.
He looked at me I looked at him, he sized up me I sized up him,
He said to me,
Why don't you run,
I see you ain't,
Got any gun,
He said to me why don't you run? I see you ain't got any gun.
And so I ran,
Away from there,
But right behind,
Me was that bear.
And so I ran right out of there, but right behind me was that bear.
Ahead of me,
There was a tree,
A great big tree,
Oh, glory me.
Ahead of me there was a tree, a great big tree oh glory me.
The lowest branch,
Was ten feet up,
I'd have to jump,
And trust my luck.
The lowest branch was ten feet up, I'd have to jump and trust my
luck.
And so I jumped,
30
The moral of,
The story be,
Don't meet a bear,
With out a tree.
The moral of the story be, don't meet a bear without a tree.
Our Paddles Keen and Bright
Our paddles keen and bright, flashing like silver,
Swift as the wild goose flies, dip, dip, and swing.
Dip, dip, and swing them back, flashing like silver,
Swift as the wild goose flies, dip, dip, and swing.
Peace I Ask of Thee O River
Peace I ask of thee, O river, peace, peace, peace.
When I learn to live serenely, cares will cease.
From the hills I gather courage, vision of the day to be,
Strength to lead and faith to follow, all are given unto me.
Peace I ask of thee, O river, peace, peace, peace.
Peanut Butter
*Chorus: Peanut, peanut butter, jelly! Peanut, peanut butter, jelly!
First you take the peanuts and you pick 'em, you pick 'em,
You pick 'em, pick 'em, pick 'em
Then you crush 'em, crush 'em,
You crush 'em, crush 'em, crush 'em

No one to wash his clothes, no one to tickle his toes

Pink Pajamas
(To the tune of "Battle Hymn of the Republic")
Oh, I wear my pink pajamas in the summer when it's hot,
And I wear my flannel nighties in the winter when it's not,
And sometimes in the springtime, and sometimes in the fall,
I jump right in between the sheets with nothing on at all.

Say, say, oh playmate
I cannot play with you
My dolly's got the flu

If you just take,
A Rigabamboo.

Why are there so many songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
And rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we've been told and some choose to believe it
I know they're wrong, wait and see.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers and me.
Purple Stew
Making a purple stew, whip, whip, whip, whip
Making a purple stew, Scooby-dooby-doo
With purple potatoes, and purple tomatoes
And you in my purple stew
Fancy meeting you in my purple stew
Who said that every wish would be heard and answered
When wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that, and someone believed it,
And look what it's done so far.
What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing
And what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers, and me.
Quartermaster's Store
There are rats, rats, as big as alley cats,
At the store, at the store.
There are rats, rats, as big as alley cats,
At the Quartermaster's store.
*Chorus: My eyes are dim, I can not see.
I have not brought my specks with me.
My eyes are dim, I can not see.
I have not brought my specks with me.
All of us under its spell
We know that it's probably magic...
Have you been half asleep? And have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name.
Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors?
The voice might be one and the same
I've heard it too many times to ignore it
It's something that I'm s'posed to be
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers, and me.
Laa, da daa dee da daa daa,
La laa la la laa dee daa doo...

Rainbow Love
*Chorus: We're a rainbow made of children,
We're an army singing a song.
There's no weapon that can stop us,
Rainbow love is much too strong.
I was raised in Mississippi,
Saying "Yes, Sir" to all the men.
But I found it got me nowhere,
So I'll never say it again.
*
I was taught that black was evil,
I was taught that white was good;
But when you become a rainbow,
All the colors are understood.

A rare tree, a rattlin’ tree

Reuben and Rachel
Reuben, Reuben I’ve been thinking
What a fine world this would be
If the men were all transported
Far beyond the northern sea
Oh, my goodness, gracious, Rachel,
What a strange world this would be
If all the men were all transported
Far Beyond the northern sea.
Reuben, Reuben, I’ve been thinking
What a great life girls would lead
If they had no men about them
None to tease them, none to heed
Rachel, Rachel, I’ve been thinking
Life would be so easy then
What a lovely world this would be
If you’d leave it too the men
Reuben, Reuben, stop your teasing
If you’ve any love for me
I was only just a-fooling
As I thought, of course, you’d see
Rachel, if you’ll not transport us
I will take you for my wife
And I’ll split with you my money
Every pay day of my life!

Rocky
Alone until my eighteenth year
We met four springs ago
She was shy and had a fear
Of things she did not know
But we got it on together
In such a super way
We held each other close at night
And traded dreams each day
And she said, "Rocky,
I've never been in love before
Don't know if I can do it
But if you let me lean on you
Take my hand, I might get through it" (through it)
I said, "Baby, oh sweet baby
It's love that sets us free
And God knows if the world should end
Your love is safe with me"
We found an old gray house
And you would not believe the way
We worked at night to fix it up
Took classes in the day
Paintin' walls and sippin' wine
Sleepin' on the floor
With so much love for just two
Soon we found there'd be one more
Rise Up, Oh Flame
Rise up, oh flame
By the light glowing
Show to us beauty
Vision and joy
Risseldy, Rosseldy
I married my wife in the month of June
Risseldy, rosseldy, mow,mow,mow
I carried her off in a silver spoon
And she said,
"Rocky, I've never had a baby before
Don't know if I can do it
But if you let me lean on you
Take my hand, I might get through it" (through it)
I said, "Baby, oh sweet baby
It's love that sets us free
And God knows if the world should end
Your love is safe with me"
*Chorus: Risseldy, rosseldy, hey bambasity
Nickety, Nackety, retrical quality,
We had lots of problems then but
We had lots of fun
34
Like the crazy party
When our baby girl turned one
I was proud and satisfied
Life had so much to give
'Till the day they told me
That she didn't have long to live
Running Bear loves Little White Dove with a love that never dies.
On the one side of the river, stood Running Bear, young and brave.
On the other side of the river stood a lovely maiden he did see.
Little White Dove was her name, such a lovely maid was she
But their tribes fought with each other, so their love could never be.
*
Running Bear dove in the water, Little White Dove did the same.
And they swam out to each other through the raging waters they
came.
First their eyes met then their lips met, the raging waters brought
them down.
Now they'll always be together in that happy hunting ground.
*
She said,
"Rocky, I've never had to die before
Don't know if I can do it
But if you let me lean on you
Take my hand, I might get through it" (through it)
I said, "Baby, oh sweet baby
It's love that sets us free
And God knows if the world should end
Your love is safe with me"
Sarah the Whale
(Tune: Dixie)
In Frisco town there lived a whale
They fed her peanuts by the pail,
And the washtubs and bathtubs,
And sailboats and schooners.
Now it's back to two again
The little girl and I
Who looks so much like her sweet mother
Sometimes it makes me cry
I sleep alone at nights again
I walk alone each day
And sometimes when I'm about to give in
Her name is Sarah and she’s a peach,
But don’t put food within her reach
Or babies, or nursemaids
Or chocolate ice cream sodas.
I hear her sweet voice say
"Rocky, you know you've been alone before
You know that you can do it
But if you'd like to lean on me
Take my hand, I'll help you through it" (through it)
I said, "Baby, oh sweet baby
It's love that sets us free
And I told you when the world would end
Your love was safe with me"
She loves to smile and when she smiles
You can see her teeth for miles and miles,
And her tonsils and her spare ribs
And things to fierce to mention.
Now what can you do in a case like that,
There’s nothing to do but sit on your har,
Or your toothbrush, or your best friend,
Or anything else that’s helpless

Will I ever see thee wed?
I will marry at thy will, Sire

Six Little Ducks
Six little ducks that I once knew
Fat ones, skinny ones, fair ones too
But the one little duck with the feather on his back
He led the others with a quack, quack, quack
*Chorus: Quack, quack, quack
Quack, quack, quack
He led the others with a quack, quack, quack
Down to the river they would go
Wibble wobble, wibble wobble, to and fro
But the one little duck with the feather on his back
He led the others with a quack, quack, quack

Home from the river they would come
Wibble wobble, wibble wobble, Ho Hum Ho

As if to telll me that dreamin's all right.

There's is a fountain, down in the valley by the old oak tree.
Near the fountain there is a mission where my love told me.

On the evening, I was leaving, my love dreamed of me.
A weeping softly at the fountain, she said, "Return to me."

I met a stranger his name was Danger we rode side by side.
Down in Sante Fe I killed a man they say, Danger told me to ride

Now if I return they will hang me from that old oak tree.
Down in the valley near the mission where my love told me

And say for you that the sun don't shine?
Oh, let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something to make you change your mind
Have you seen the old girl who walks the streets of London
dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags?
She's no time for talkin' She keeps right on walkin'
Carryin' her home in two carrier bags...
So how can you tell me you're lonely
And say for you that the sun don't shine
Oh, let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something
to make you change your mind
In the all night cafe at a quarter past eleven
same old man, sitting there on his own
Looking at the world over the rim of his tea cup
Each tea lasts an hour and he wanders home, alone
So how can you tell me you're lonely
And say for you that the sun don't shine
Oh, let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something to make you change your mind

Have you seen the old man outside the seamen's mission
Memory fading with the medal ribbons that he wears
In our winter city, the rain cries a little pity
For one more forgotten hero, and a world that doesn't care
So how can you tell me you're lonely
And say for you that the sun don't shine
Oh, let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something to make you change your mind
Super California Surfer
Because I was afraid to surf when I was just a lad
My father took my board away and told me I was bad
But then one day I heard a word that every surfer knows
The longest word you ever heard and this is how it goes

Even though the most of them do not wear suntan lotion
If you hit the waves to hard you’ll always cause a motion

Swimming, swimming in the swimming-pool
When days are hot when days are cold, in the swimming pool
Breast-stroke, side-stroke, fancy diving too.
Oh wouldn’t it be nice if there was nothing else to do
Streets of London
Have you seen the old man in the closed down market
kickin' up the papers with his worn out shoes?
In his eyes you see no pride
Hand held loosely by his side
Yesterday's paper tellin' yesterday's news...
So how can you tell me you're lonely

Day is done, gone the sun,
From the lakes, from the hills, from the sky,
All is well safely rest, God is nigh.
Fading light, dims the sky,

And a star, lights the sky, gleaming bright,
From afar, drawing nigh, falls the night
Because god made the ivy twine
Because god made the sky so blue
God made Natarswi, that’s why I love you
Thanks and praise, for our days,
Neath the sun, neath the stars, neath the sky,
As we go, this we know, God is nigh

So she threw it out the window
As the band was playing "Nearer My God to thee"
Little children wept and cried, as the waves swept over the side
It was sad when the great ship went down
*
Oh the moral of this story, as you can plainly see,
Is to wear a life preserver when you go out to sea.
The Titanic once was but never more shall be,
It was sad when the great ship went down.
*
Little Jack Horner sat in a corner,
Eating his Christmas pie,
He put in his thumb and pulled out a plum
And threw it out the window
The window, the window, the second story window
He put in his thumb and pulled out a plum
And threw it out the window
Today
*Chorus: Today while the blossoms still cling to the vine,
I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine.
A million tomorrows shall all pass away,
Ere I forget all the joy that is mine, today.
Yankee doodle went to town
Riding on a pony
Stuck a feather in his cap
And threw it out the window
The window, the window, the second story window
Stuck a feather in his cap
And threw it out the window
I can't be contented with yesterday's glory,
I can't live on promises winter to spring.
Today is the moment and now is the song,
I'll laugh and I'll cry and I'll sing.
*
I'll be a dandy and I'll be a rover,
You'll know who I am by the songs that I sing.
I'll feast at your table, I'll sleep in your clover,
Who cares what tomorrow may bring.

Tree Song

Honk, honk, rattle, rattle, crash, beep, beep
Honk, honk
Titanic
Oh, they built the ship Titanic, to sail the ocean blue,
And they built they’d built a ship the water would never go through.
But the great Lord raised his hand, said the ship would never land,
It was sad when the great ship went down.
*Chorus: It was sad (so sad)
It was sad when the great ship went down
To the bottom of the sea....
(husbands and wives, little children lost their lives)
It was sad when the great ship went down.
And on this tree
There was a limb
The prettiest limb
That you ever did see
Well, the limb on the tree, and the tree in the hole, and the hole in
the ground, and the green grass grows all around all around and the
green grass grows all around
(continue using same idea adding the following:)

Nest
They were sailing away from England, they were close to the shore Bird
When the rich refused to associate with the poor.
Feather
So they sent them down below, where they'd be the first to go.
Flea

Ballerina
The boat was about to sink, the sides about to burst,
When the captain shouted women and children first
Tzena
Oh, the captain tried to wire, but the wire was on fire.
Tzena, Tzena, Tzena, Tzena, can't you hear the music playing
It was sad when the great ship went down
In the village square?

Tzena, Tzena, Tzena, Tzena, can't you hear the music playing
They lowered all the lifeboats to the dark and stormy sea,
In the village square?

Tzena, Tzena, join the celebration,
There'll be people there from every nation,
Dawn will find us dancing in the sunlight,
Dancing in the village square.
The Unicorn
A long time ago when the earth was green
There was more kinds of animals than you've ever seen
They'd run around free while the earth was being born
But the lovliest of them all was the Unicorn
Um Plicka Plicka
She sat by the river and strummed her guitar
Strummed her guitar, strummed her guitar
She sat by the river and strummed her guitar
Strummed her guita-a-a-ar!
There was green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpty-backed camels and some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born
The lovliest of all was the Unicorn
*Chorus: um plicka plicka, um plicka, plicka
Um plick, plick, plick
The Lord seen some sinning and it gave him pain
And he says, "Stand back, I'm going to make it rain."
He says, "Brother Noah I'll tell you what to do
Build me a floating zoo, and
Take some of them..."
He sat down beside her and smoked his cigar
Smoked his cigar, smoked his cigar
He sat down beside hre and smoked his cigar
Smoked his ciga-a-a-ar!
*
He said that he loved her but oh, how he lied,
Oh, how he lied, oh, how he lied
He said that he loved her but oh, how he lied,
Oh, how he li-i-i-ied!
*
They were to be married but somehow she died
Somehow she died, somehow she died
They were to be married but somehow she died
Somehow she di-i-i-ied!
*
He went to her funeral but just for the ride
Just for the ride, just for the ride
He went to her funeral but just for the ride
Just for the ri-i-i-ide!
*
He sat on her tombstone and laughed till he cried
Laughed till he cried, laughed till he cried
He sat on her tombstone and laughed till he cried
Laughed till he cri-i-i-ied!
*
The tombstone fell over and squish squash, he died
Squish squash, he died, squish squash, he died
The tombstone fell over and squish squash, he died
Squish, squash, he di-i-i-ied!
*
She flew up to heaven and flittered and flied,
Flittered and flied, flittered and flied
She flew up to heaven and flittered and flied,
Flittered and fli-i-i-ied!
*
He went down below her and sizzled and fried,
Sizzled and fried, sizzled and fried
He went down below her and sizzled and fried,
Sizzled and fri-i-i-ied!
*
The moral of the story is never to lie,
Never to lie, never to lie
The moral of the story is never to lie,
Never to li-i-i-ie!

Green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpy-backed camels and some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born
Don't you forget my Unicorn
Old Noah was there to answer the call
He finished makin' the Ark just as the rain started to fall
He marched the animals two by two
And he called out as they went through,
"Hey Lord,
I’ve got Green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpy-backed camels and some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants but Lord I'm so forlorn
I just can't see no Unicorns
And Noah looked out through the driving rain
Them Unicorns were hiding playing silly games
Kicking and splashing while the rain was falling
Oh, them silly Unicorns
There was green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpy-backed camels and some chimpanzees
Noah cried "Close the door because the rain is falling
And we just can't wait for no Unicorns."
The Ark started moving, it drifted with the tide
Them Unicorns looked up from the rocks and they cried
And the waters came down and sort of floated them away
And that's why you've never see unicorn to this very day
You'll see some green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpy-backed camels and some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants but as sure as you're born
You're never gonna see no Unicorns
Wake me up Gently
In the early mornin’
When the sun is creepin’
Into my bedroom while I’m still sleepin’
I know you’ll be tempted to try and wake me up
I’ll have a heart attack if that alarm sounds
If you pour water on me, I’m apt to drown
41
To shake the bed is like to send me into shock
There's a wishy washy washer woman
Dryin' her clothes
She goes sh hash hash hash ha
That's how the wishy washy washer woman dries her clothes
*chorus: You gotta wake me up gently
Wake me up slow
Wake me up like a mellow love song
On the radio
Well, I never did like sudden starts
You know they
Hurt yours eyes and break your heart
Wake me up gently
Wake me slow
Waaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy
Down in the valley where nobody goes
There's a wishy washy washer woman
Foldin' her clothes
She goes (clap) (clap)(clap) (clap)(clap) (clap)(clap) (clap)
That's how the wishy washy washer woman folds her clothes
Well I once knew a lady with yellow hair
Who slept like a log and roared like a bear
Perchance you should meet her when she woke
Well I don’t know where she’s living now
Who shares her bed
Who make her smile
But whoever you are there’s something you should know
*
Well I can see by the glow in the moonlight
That you are also a creature of the night
So take a chance and run with me a while
Well I don’t always act just like I should
But I’ve been told by some I’m very good
I run through the night like a nova star gone wild
*
Waaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy
Down in the valley where nobody goes
There's a wishy washy washer woman
Eatin' Oreos
She goes dunk gulpdunk gulpdunk gulpdunk gulp
That's how the wishy washy washer woman eats Oreos
Waaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy
Down in the valley where nobody goes
There's a wishy washy washer woman
Pickin' her nose
She goes pick flickpick flickpick flickpick flick
That's how the wishy washy washer woman picks her nose
Watermelon Song
Everybody get your watermelons out
Just put a watermelon right over your head
And let the juice slip through
Just put a watermelon right over your head
That’s all I ask of you
Now southern fried chicken might taste mighty fine
But nothing tastes better then a watermelon rind
So put a watermelon right over your head
And let the juice slip through
Let the Juice slip through
Oh baby let the juice slip through cha!
Walk with Me
* Chorus: Walk with me and talk with me
And say you’ll be my friend
And together we’ll work out a harmony
On a road that will never end
Although our roads are different
Just watch as they converge
We’ve got a job to do together
Our songs they must be heard
*
Sisters for the summer
That’s what the children say
But little do they know when they go away
Our friendship will never fade
*
So when you’re down, I’ll build you up
And when you’re up, I’ll laugh with you
And together we’ll find a peace of mind
That only true friends find.
*
We are a Little Bit Crazy

Are (bend backward at the waist)
A little bit (turn around)
CRAZY!!! (bend knees and wave arms in air)
Washer Woman
Waaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy
Down in the valley where nobody goes
There's a wishy washy washer woman
Washin' her clothes
She goes ooh ahooh ahooh ahooh ah
That's how the wishy washy washer woman washes her clothes
Waaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy
Down in the valley where nobody goes

Weenie Man
I know a weenie man.
He owns a weenie stand.
He sells most anything from hot dogs on down.
Someday I’ll change his life.
I’ll be his weenie wife.
Hot dog, I love that weenie man.
White coral bells
Upon a slender stalk
Lilies of the valley
Deck my garden walk
Oh, don’t you wish
That you could
Hear them ring
That will happen only
when the fairies sing.

Worms
Nobody likes me.
Everybody hates me.
I’m gonna eat some worms.
*Chorus: Long, slim slimy ones,
Short, fat, juicy ones,
Itsy, bitsy, fuzzy, wuzzy worms.
First you get a bucket.
Then you get a shovel.
Oh, how they wiggle and squirm.
*
First you pull the heads off.
Then you suck the guts out.
Oh, how they wiggle and squirm.
*
Down goes the first one.
Down goes the second one.
Oh, how they wiggle and squirm.
*
Up comes the first one.
Up comes the second one.
Oh, how they wiggle and squirm.
*
Everybody likes me.
Nobody hates me.
Why did I eat those worms?

Wherever You Go

My friend
May you be safe?
Till we meet again
And remember my friends
I will always be there for you
If you need me
I’ll see you through my friend
We’ve sung our songs
And we’ve dreamed our dreams
But times passed by
Much too quickly it seems
So when we say goodbye
If a tear shines through
It’s just that love is in my eyes
For you.
