And he played upon a ladle
A ladle, a ladle
And he played upon a ladle
And his name was Aiken Drum.
And his hat was made of good cream cheese
And his coat was made of good roast beef
And his buttons were made of good pie crust
There was a man in another town,
In another town, in another town
There was a man in another town,
And his name was Willy Wood;
And he played upon a razor,
A razor, a razor
And he played upon a razor,
And his name was Willy Wood.
And he ate up all the good cream cheese
And he ate up all the good roast beef
But he choked upon the good pie crust
The good pie crust, the good pie crust
But he choked upon the haggis bags
And that ended Willy Wood.

chorus:
All I really need is a song in my heart
Food in my butelly, and love in my family
All I really need is a song in my heart, and love in my family
And I need the rain to fall, and I need the sun to shine
To give life to the seeds we sow, to give the food we need to grow
(Chorus)
And I need some clean water for drinking
Oh I need some clean air for breathing
So that I can grow up strong, take my place where I belong

Baby beluga in the deep blue sea
Swim so wild and you swim so free
Heaven above and the sea below
And a little white whale on the go
Baby beluga, oh baby beluga
Is the water warm, Is your mama home
With you so happy?
Way down yonder where the dolphins play
Where you dive and splash all day
Waves roll in and the wave roll out
See the water squirtin' out of your spout
Baby beluga, oh baby beluga
Sing your little song, sing for all your friends
We like to hear you
(make lip sounds)
When it's dark, you're home and fed
Curl up snug in your water bed
Moon is shining and the stars are out
Goodnight, little whale, goodnight
Baby beluga, oh baby beluga
With tomorrow's sun, another day's begun
You'll soon be waking
Baby beluga in the deep blue sea
Swim so wild and you swim so free
Heaven above and the sea below
And a little white whale on the go
You're just a little white whale on the go.

Barney is a dinosaur from our imagination
When he's tall he's what we call
A dinosaur sensation
Barney teaches lots of things
Like how to play pretend
A-B-C's and 1-2-3's and how to be a friend
Barney comes to play with us
Whenever we may need him
Barney can be your friend too
If you just make believe him

With a great big hug and a kiss from me to you
Won't you say you love me too!

Oh where have you been, Billy Boy, Billy Boy?
Where have you been, Charmin' Billy?
I have been to seek a wife, she's the apple of my life,
She's a young thing and cannot leave her mother.
Did she ask you to come in? Yes she asked me to come in,
There's a dimple in her chin
Can she bake a cherry pie? She can bake a cherry pie,
Quick as a cat can wink an eye
How old is she? three times six and four times seven,
Twenty-eight and eleven
Did she take your hat? Well yes she took my hat,
And she threw it at the cat
How tall is she? She's tall as a pine, and straighter than a vine
Can she fry a dish of meat? She can fry a dish of meat,
As fast as I can eat

Used to watch TV all day
Wasting all my time away
Used to hang out on the street
Now I'm sitting in this seat
Mama, Mama, can't you see
What this school has done to me
I can pass the hardest test
Stick a ribbon on my chest
Woh woh woh woh
Woh woh woh woh
Mama told me, daddy too
Always do your best in school
Want to fill my head with knowledge
Someday I will go to college
Teacher told me don't you yammer
Or you'll end up in the slammer
If you don't cut out your yackin'
Someone's gonna get a whackin'
Walking tall and feeling good
Doing things I never could
Rising high will be my fate
I can be somebody great
Rising high will be my fate
I can be somebody great

In a cavern, in a canyon
Excavating for a mine
Lived a miner, a forty-niner
And his daughter, Clementine
chorus:
OH, MY DARLING, OH, MY DARLING
OH, MY DARLING CLEMENTINE
YOU ARE LOST AND GONE FOREVER
DREADFUL SORRY, CLEMENTINE
Light she was and like a fairy
And her shoes were number nine
Herring boxes without topses
Sandals were for Clementine
Drove she ducklings to the water
Every morning just at nine
Hit her foot against a splinter
Fell into the foaming brine
Ruby lips above the water
Blowing bubbles soft and fine
But alas, I was no swimmer
So I lost my Clementine
Then the miner, forty-niner
Soon began to peak and pine
Thought he oughta join his daughter
Now he's with his Clementine
There's a churchyard on the hillside
Where the flowers grow and twine
There grow roses, 'mongst the posies
Fertilized by Clementine.

Roll my britches up to my knees,

Now Miss Mouse you must decide
I'll have to ask my Uncle Rat,
And see what he does say to that
Well Uncle Rat says I'm much afraid
If you don't marry Froggy, gonna die an old maid
Well open the oysters, spill the champagne
Never will there be such a feast again
But as they were going it hot and strong
The good gray cat came prowling along
She sprang through the window right out of the yard
She didn't bring no invitation card
Now Uncle Rat like a hero stood
Puss wet her whiskers in his blood
Now Miss Mousey made a dive for a crack
Puss made a pounce and broke her back
Now where was the valiant frog the while?
He just about broke the four-minute mile
Now this is the end of him and of her
There won't be no tadpoles covered in fur

HOW COULD YOU BE SO MEAN?
TO EVER HAVE INVENTED
THE SAUSAGE MEAT MACHINE?
NOW ALL THE NEIGHBOR'S CATS AND DOGS
WILL NEVER MORE BE SEEN
CAUSE THEY'VE BEEN GROUND TO SAUSAGE MEAT
IN DUNDERBECK'S MACHINE
There was a man from New York town
His name was Dunderbeck
He sold a lot of sausages and sauerkraut by heck
He made the greatest sausages that were ever seen
Until one day he invented a sausage meat machine
One day a little fat boy came walking in the store
He bought a pound of sausages and laid them on the floor
Then he began to whistle, he whistled up a tune
And all the little sausages went dancing round the room
One day the machine got busted,
The darn thing wouldn't work
And Dunderbeck, he crawled inside
To see what made it jerk
His wife she had a nightmare, she walked in her sleep
She gave the crank a wickety-wank, and Dunderbeck was meat
So if you have some cats and dogs
You'd better keep them locked
Cause if you don't, I'm warning you
You're in for a great big shock
And if you eat some sausage meat from Dunderbeck right now
You'll hear the little sausages meow and bow wow wow.

In 18 hundred and 41
I put my corduroy britches on
I put my corduroy britches on
To work upon the railway
chorus:

TO WORK UPON THE RAILWAY
In 18 hundred and 42, I left the Old World for the New
Curse the luck that brought me through
To work upon the railway
In 18 hundred and 43, 'twas then I met sweet Biddy Magee
An elegant wife she's been to me
While working on the railway
In 18 hundred and 45, I felt myself more dead than alive
I felt myself more dead than alive
While working on the railway
It's "Pat do this" and "Pat do that"
Without a stocking or cravat
Nothing but an old straw hat
While Pat works on the railway.
In 18 hundred and 47
Sweet Biddy Magee, she went to Heaven
If she left one kid, she left 11
To work upon the railway

Put your finger on your nose, on your nose

Put your finger on your nose, on your nose
Put your finger on your ear, on your ear
Put your finger on your ear, on your ear
Put your finger on your ear

Put your finger on your ear, on your ear

Put your finger on your finger, on your finger
Put your finger on your finger, on your finger
Put your finger on your finger
On your finger, on your finger
Put your finger on your finger, on your finger

Five little ducks went out one day
Over the hills and far away
Mother duck said, quack quack quack quack
But only four little ducks came back
Four little ducks went out one day

Three little ducks went out one day

So sad mother duck went out one day
Over the hills and far away
Mother duck said, quack quack quack quack
And all of the five little duckies came back.

The fox went out on a chilly night
And he prayed for the moon to give him light
For he'd many a mile to go that night
Before he reached the town-o! Town-o! Town-o!
He'd many a mile to go that night before he reached the town-o
He ran till he came to a great big pen
Where the ducks and the geese were kept therein
"A couple of you will grease my chin
Before I leave this town-o!"
He grabbed the gray goose by the neck
Flung a duck across his back
He didn't mind the "Quack, quack, quack!"
And their legs all dangling down-o!
Old Mother Flipper Flopper jumped out of bed
Out of the window she popped her head
She said, "John, John! The gray goose is gone
And the fox is on the town-o!
The farmer went to the top of the hill
Blowed his horn both loud and shrill
The fox said, "I'd better flee with my kill
Or they'll soon be on my trail-o!
He ran till he came to his cozy den
There were the little ones, eight, nine, ten
Saying, "Daddy, Daddy, better go back again
For it must be a mighty fine town-o
Then the fox and his wife without any strife
Cut up the goose with a carving knife
They never had such a supper in their life
And the little ones chewed on the bones-o!

FREIGHT TRAIN, FREIGHT TRAIN, GOIN' SO FAST
PLEASE DON'T TELL WHAT TRAIN I'M ON
SO THEY WON'T KNOW WHERE I'VE GONE
Freight train, freight train
Comin' round the bend
Freight train, freight train
Gone again
One of these days turn that train around
And go back to my home town
One more place I'd like to be
One more place I'd like to see
To watch those old Blue Ridge Mountains climb
When I ride old Number Nine
When I'm dead and in my grave
No more good times do I crave
Place a tombstone at my head and feet
Tell my friends that I've gone to sleep

Plant your rows straight and long
Season with a cheerful song
Mother Earth will keep you strong
If you give her loving care
Old crow watching from a tree
Got his hungry eye on me
In my garden I'm as free
As that feathered thief up there
(Chorus)
Pulling weeds, picking stones
We are made of dreams and bones
I need a spot to call my own
Till the time is close at hand
Grain for grain, sun and rain
Find my way in nature's chain
Tune my body and my brain
To the music of the land

The gypsy rover came over the hills
And down through the valley so shady
He whistled and he sang
Till the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady
chorus:
AH DI DOO, AN DI DOO DA DAY
AH DI DOO AH DI DAY DEE
HE WHISTLED AND HE SANG
TILL THE GREEN WOODS RANG
AND HE WON THE HEART OF A LADY
She left her father's castle gate
She left her own true lover
She left her servants and her estate
To follow the gypsy rover
Her father saddled his fastest steed
And roamed the valley all over
He sought his daughter at great speed
And the whistling gypsy rover
He came at last to a mansion fine
Down by the River Clayde
And there was music, and there was wine
For the gypsy and his lady
He's no gypsy, my father, said she
But lord of free lands all over
And I will stay till my dying day
With the whistling gypsy rover

Halfway up the stairs is the stair where I sit.
There isn't any other stair quite like it.
It's not at the bottom, it's not at the top,
But this is the stair where I always stop.
Halfway up the stairs isn't up and isn't down.
It isn't in the nursery, it isn't in the town.
And all sorts of funny thoughts run round my head:
"It isn't really Anywhere! It's somewhere else Instead!"

I love to go a-wandering, along the mountain track,
And as I go I love to sing, my knapsack on my back.
I love to wander by the stream, it dances in the sun.
So joyously it calls to me: come join my happy song.
Valderi, valdera
Valderi, valdera ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Valderi, valdera
Come join my happy song
I wave my hat to all I meet, and they wave back to me,
And blackbirds call so loud and sweet
From every greenwood tree.
Valderi, valdera
Valderi, valdera ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Valderi, valdera
From every greenwood tree
High overheard the skylarks wing, they never rest at home.
But just like me, they love to sing
As o'er the world we roam.
Oh may I go a-wandering until the day I die,
And may I always laugh and sing beneath the clear blue sky
Valderi, valdera
Valderi, valdera ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Valderi, valdera
Beneath the clear blue sky

Oh, give me a home
Where the buffalo roam
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard
A discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day
chorus:
HOME, HOME ON THE RANGE
WHERE THE DEER AND THE ANTELOPE PLAY
WHERE SELDOM IS HEARD
A DISCOURAGING WORD
AND THE SKIES ARE NOT CLOUDY ALL DAY

When the heavens are bright
With the light from the glittering stars
Have I stood there amazed
And asked as I gazed
If their glory exceeds that of ours

Where the air is so pure
The zephyrs so free
The breezes so balmy and light
That I would not exchange
My home on the range
For all of the cities so bright

How much is that doggie in the window?

If she has a dog, she won't be lonesome
And the doggie will have a good home

I read in the paper there are robbers
With flashlights that shine in the dark
My love needs a doggie to protect him
And scare them away with one bark

I don't want a bunny or a kitty
I don't want a parrot that talks
I don't want a bowl of little fishies
You can't take a goldfish for a walk
How much is that doggie in the window?
With the basketball nose on his face
You know what a basketball nose is
It dribbles all over the place

Well I'd like to visit the moon,
On a rocket ship high in the air.
Yes, I'd like to visit the moon,
But I don't think I'd like to live there.
Though I'd like to look down at the Earth from above,
I would miss all the places and people I love
So although I might like it for one afternoon
I don't want to live on the moon.
I'd like to travel under the sea,
I could meet all the fish everywhere
Yes, I'd travel under the sea,
But I don't think I'd like to live there.
I might stay for a day if I had my wish
But there's not much to do when your friends are all fish,
And an oyster and clam aren't real family,
So I don't want to live in the sea.
I'd like to visit the jungle, hear the lion roar,
Go back in time and meet a dinosaur,
There's so many strange places I'd like to be,
But none of them permanently.
So if I should visit the moon,
I will dance on a moonbeam and then,
I will make a wish on a star
And I'll wish I was home once again.
Though I'd like to look down at the Earth from above,
I would miss all the places and people I love
So although I may go, I'll be coming home soon
Cause I don't want to live on the moon
No I don't want to live on the moon.

chorus:
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid of the dark
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid of the dark
When it's time to go to sleep
I climb into my bed
I wrap the covers 'round me
I lay down my head
I get a warm cozy feeling
When everyone says goodnight
I always think of happy thoughts
When I turn off the light.
Sometimes I get awakened at night
By noises all around my house
It might be a creak, a thump, a squeak
Or the cat who wants to go out
Now and then it's a neighbor's dog
Howling up at the moon
Some nights I hear my sister
Closing the door to her room.
Some nights as I lie in bed
I see shapes on my wall
Even if they move across the floor
I'm not scared at all
I watch them dance on my window
I wonder what they could be
I can see they're only shadows
I know they won't bother me.

I've been working on the railroad, all the livelong day
I've been working on the railroad, just to pass the time away

Can't you hear the captain shouting, Dinah blow your horn
Dinah won't you blow, dinah won't you blow
Dinah won't you blow your horn?, dinah won't you blow
Dinah won't you blow, dinah won't you blow your horn?
Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah, someone's in the kitchen I know
Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah, strumming on the old banjo
And singing fee fi fiddly-i-o, fee fi fiddly-i-ooooooo

It's small world after all!

Well they grabbed Mr. Frog and begun to fight

With his sword and his pistol he killed all four
They went to the parson the very next day

I had a baby and the baby pleased me
My little baby went waaaahh!

There's a little white duck sitting in the water
A little white duck doing what he oughter
He took a bite of a lily pad
Flapped his wings and he said, "I'm glad
That I'm a little white duck sitting in the water
Quack, quack, quack."
There's a little green frog swimming in the water
A little green frog doing what he oughter
He jumped right off of the lily pad
That the little duck bit and he said, "I'm glad
I'm a little green frog swimming in the water
Glump, glump, glump."
There's a little black bug floating on the water
A little black bug doing what he oughter
He tickled the frog on the lily pad
That the little duck bit and he said "I'm glad
I'm a little black bug floating on the water
Chirps, chirps, chirps."
There's a little red snake laying in the water
A little red snake doing what he oughter
He frightened the duck and the frog so bad
He ate the little bug and he said, "I'm glad
I'm a little red snake laying in the water
Wriggles, wriggles, wriggles."
Now there's nobody left left sitting in the water
Nobody left doing what he oughter
There's nothing left but the lily pad
The duck and the frog ran away, I'm sad
Because there's nobody left sitting in the water
Boo, hoo, hoo

Lollipop lollipop
Oh lolli lolli lolli
Lollipop lollipop
Oh lolli lolli lolli
Lollipop lollipop
Oh lolli lolli lolli
Lollipop
Call my baby lollipop, tell you why
His kiss is sweeter than an apple pie
And when he does his shaky rockin' dance
Man, I haven't got a chance
I call him
Lollipop lollipop
Oh lolli lolli lolli
Lollipop lollipop.....
Sweeter than candy on a stick
Huckleberry, cherry or lime
If you had a choice he'd be your pick
But lollipop is mine
Lollipop lollipop
Oh lolli lolli lolli
Lollipop lollipop.....
Crazy way he thrills me, tell you why
Just like a lightning from the sky
He loves to kiss me till I can't see straight
GEE, MY LOLLIPOP IS GREAT
I call him
Lollipop lollipop
Oh lolli lolli lolli
Lollipop lollipop.....

One fine day in early spring I played a funny trick.
Right in the yard behind our house I planted a lollipop stick.
Then every day I watered it well, and watched it carefully.
I hoped one day that stick would grow to be a lollipop tree.
chorus:
Ah ha ha! Oh ho ho! What a place to be!
Under my lollipop, lollipop, lollipop, lolli- lolli- lollipop tree.
Then one day I woke to find
A very lovely sight.
A tree all full of lollipops
Had grown in the dark of the night.
I sat beneath that wonderful tree
And looked up with a grin.
And when I opened up my mouth
The pops would drop right in.
(Chorus)
Winter came and days grew cold
As winter days will do.
And on my tree, my lovely tree,
Not one little lollipop grew.
From every branch an icicle hung.
The limbs were bare as bones.
But, when I broke those icicles off
They turned to ice cream cones
(Chorus)

London Bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down.
London Bridge is falling down, my fair lady.
How will we build it up?
Build it up with silver and gold,
Gold and silver I have none,
Build it up with needles and pins,
Pins and needles bend and break,
Build it up with wood and clay,
Wood and clay will wash away,
Build it up with stone so strong,
Stone so strong will last so long,
My fair lady.

chorus:
IT WAS A LONG LONG LONG LONG LONG WAY HOME.
I was coming home in a yellow bus
But the bus broke down and stranded us.
I was coming home in a yellow bus
But the bus broke down and stranded us.
It was a long long long long long way home.
So I hopped a train coming down the line
The caboose came loose, I got left behind.
So I found a boat by the riverbank
But we hit a rock and promptly sank.
So I got picked up by a submarine
But they left me off in the Philippines.
Then I took a jet but I couldn't pay
So they threw me out of the cargo bay.
Oh my parachute kept me safe from harm
But I landed in a tree on the neighbor's farm.
So I jumped on a horse, but it threw a shoe
And I had to walk back home to you.
So I'm sorry Mom that I'm home so late
And the dinner's cold and I made you wait.

Lullaby and good night, with roses bedight
With lilies o'erspread is baby's wee bed
Lay thee down now and rest, may thy slumber be blessed

Bright angels beside my darling abide
They will guard thee from harm, thou shalt wake in my arms

Love is something if you give it away
Give it away, give it away
Love is something if you give it away
You end up having more
It's just like a magic penny
Hold it tight and you won't have any
Lend it, spend it and you'll have so many
They'll roll all over the floor, for
A smile is something if you give it away
A hug is something if you give it away
A kiss is something if you give it away
Laughter is something if you give it away
A song is something if you give it away

I'm gonna wrap myself in paper,
I'm gonna daub myself with glue,
Stick some stamps on top of my head,
I'm gonna mail myself to you.
I'm gonna tie me up in a red string,
I'm gonna tie blue ribbons too,
I'm gonna climb up in my mailbox,
I'm gonna mail myself to you.
When you find me in your mailbox
Cut the string and let me out,
Wash the glue off of my fingers,
Stick some bubblegum in my mouth.
Take me out of my wrapping paper,
Wash the stamps off my head,
Pour me full of some ice-cream sodas,
Put me in my nice warm bed.
I'm gonna wrap myself in paper,

Stick some stamps on top of my head,

Ain't got no friends this side of Tennessee
Ain't got no friends. What's wrong with me?
I got a chip on my shoulder as big as this here tree.
Went into a bar last Saturday night
Only had one drink, i got into a fight
Well I received a black eye, it sure served me right.
Every place that I go and everyone that I see
I seem to find trouble like it's following me
Well I'm a loser, I got the mean loser blues
Well I'm a mean losin' bruiser, I got the mean loser blues.
bridge:
Well some people say I'll never get far
I just can't seem to stay out of those bars
I try and I try but it ain't no use
Well I'm way off track like a loose caboose
Every place that I go and everyone that I see
I seem to find trouble like it's following me
Well I'm a loser, I got the mean loser blues
Well I'm a mean losin' bruiser, I got the mean loser blues.

On Friday morn when we set sail,
And our ship not far from the land
We there did espy a pretty mermaid,
With a comb and a glass in her hand, her hand, her hand
With a comb and a glass in her hand.
chorus:
And the raging seas, the raging seas did roar,
And the stormy winds did blow,
While we jolly sailor boys are up and up aloft,
With the landlubbers lying down below, below, below
With the landlubbers lying down below.
Then up spake our gallant captain bold
And a very brave man was he;
"Oh, I've a bonny wife in fair Portsmouth town,
And tonight she a widow she will be."
Then up spake the little cabin boy,
And a very fine boy was he;
"I've a father and mother in yon Portsmouth town
And tonight they will weep for me."
Then up spake the jolly fat old cook
And a very fat man was he;
"Oh I care much more for me kettles and me pots
Than I do for the bottom of the sea."
Then three times round went our gallant ship,
And three times round went she;
For the sake of a lifeboat, we all went down,
And we sank to the bottom of the sea.

I'd like to be under the sea
In an Octopus's Garden in the shade.
He'd let us in, knows where we've been,
In his Octopus's Garden in the shade.
I'd ask my friends to come and see
An Octopus's Garden with me.
I'd like to be under the sea
In an Octopus's Garden in the shade.
We would be warm below the storm
In our little hideaway beneath the waves.
Resting our head on the sea bed
In an Octopus's Garden near a cave.
We would sing and dance around
Because we know we can't be found.
I'd like to be under the sea
In an Octopus's Garden in the shade.
We would shout and swim about
The coral that lies beneath the waves.
Oh, what joy for every girl and boy
Knowing they're happy and they're safe.
We would be so happy, you and me.
No one there to tell us what to do.
I'd like to be under the sea
In an Octopus's Garden with you,
In an Octopus's Garden with you,
In an Octopus's Garden with you.

A buckwheat cake was in her mouth, a tear was in her eye

So brothers don't you cry.

So I pulled them off and I had a vest
I stained that vest with cherry pie
So I cut and sewed till I had a tie
Well when that tie was lookin' lean
I made a patch for my old blue jeans
Well when that patch was next to nothin'
I rolled it up into a button
Well when that button was almost gone
With what was left I made this song
Which I sing every day of my life
Yes I sing every day of my life.

On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed
It rolled off the table
And onto the floor
And then my poor meatball
Rolled out of the door
It rolled in the garden
And under a bush
And then my poor meatball
Was nothing but mush
The mush was as tasty
As tasty could be
And early next summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
It grew great big meatballs
And tomato sauce
So if you eat spaghetti
All covered with cheese
Hold onto your meatballs
And don't ever sneeze.

Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true
Someday I'll wish upon a star

Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then oh why can't I?
Someday I'll wish upon a star

'Round and 'round the cobbler's bench, the monkey chased the weasel,
The monkey thought 'twas all in fun, pop goes the weasel.
A penny for a spool of thread, a penny for a needle,
That's the way the money goes. Pop! Goes the weasel.
My son and I went to the fair, we saw a lot of people
We spent a lot of money there, pop goes the weasel!
I got sick from all the sun, my sonny boy got the measles
Still we had a lot of fun, pop goes the weasel!
I climbed up and down the coast, to find a golden eagle
I climbed the rocks, and thought I was close
Pop goes the weasel! But, alas, I lost my way
Saw nothing but a seagull, I tore my pants and killed the day
Pop goes the weasel!
I went to the grocery store, I thought a little cheese'll
Be good to catch a mouse on the floor
Pop goes the weasel!
But the mouse was very bright, he wasn't a mouse to wheedle
He took the cheese and said "Good night"
Pop goes the weasel!
All around the cobbler's bench, the monkey chased the weasel
The monkey thought 'twas all in fun
Pop goes the weasel!
Johnny's got the whooping cough And Mary's got the measles
That's the way the money goes
Pop goes the weasel!

Puff the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee
Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff
And brought him string and sealing wax
And other fancy stuff
chorus:
OH, PUFF THE MAGIC DRAGON
LIVED BY THE SEA
AND FROLICKED IN THE AUTUMN MIST
IN A LAND CALLED HONAH ALLEE
PUFF THE MAGIC DRAGON
LIVED BY THE SEA
AND FROLICKED IN THE AUTUMN MIST
IN A LAND CALLED HONALEE
Together they would travel, in a boat with billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puff's gigantic tail
Noble kings and princes would bow whene'er they came
And pirate ships would lower their flags
When Puff rolled out his name
A dragon lives forever, but not so little boys
Painted wings and giants' rings make way for other toys
One gray night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar
His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend, Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his cave

There were fishes, fishes, washing all the dishes
There were Scouts, Scouts, eating brussels sprouts

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 lover the dreamers and me.
La da da dee da..........
Who said that every wish would be heard and answered.
When wished on the morning star.
Somebody thought of that and someone believed it.
Look what it's done so far.
What's so amazing that keeps us star gazing,
And what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it,
The rainbow connection
the lovers, the dreamers and me
(bridge)
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 voices 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.

Rock-a-bye, baby, in the treetop
When the wind blows, the cradle will rock
When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall
And down will come baby, cradle and all
Baby is drowsing, cosy and fair
Mother sits near, in her rocking chair
Forward and back, the cradle she swings
And though baby sleeps, he hears what she sings
From the high rooftops, down to the sea
No one's as dear as baby to me
Wee little fingers, eyes wide and bright
Now sound asleep, until morning light

Row row row your boat
Gently down the stream
Merrily merrily merrily merrily
Life is but a dream
Row row row your boat
Underneath the stream
Ha ha fooled you
I'm a submarine.
Bounce bounce bounce your boat
Gently down the stream
If you see a crocodile
Don't forget to scream.
Row row row your boat
Gently down the shore
If you see a polar bear
Don't forget to roar.

Rubber ducky I'm awfully fond of you.

Spins a web, any size, Catches thieves just like flies
Look Out! Here comes the Spiderman.

Listen bud,
He's got radioactive blood.

Take a look overhead
Hey, there
There goes the Spiderman.
In the chill of the night
At the scene of a crime
Like a streak, streak of light
He arrives just in time.
Spiderman, Spiderman
Friendly neighborhood Spiderman
Wealth and fame
He's ingnored
Action is his reward.
To him, life is a great big bang up
Whenever there's a hang up
You'll find the Spider man.

Coming for to carry me home.

THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND
THIS LAND IS MY LAND
FROM CALIFORNIA
TO THE NEW YORK ISLAND
FROM THE REDWOOD FOREST
TO THE GULF STREAM WATERS
THIS LAND WAS MADE FOR YOU AND ME
As I went walking that ribbon of highway
I saw above me that endless skyway
I saw below me the golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I roamed and rambled and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
And all around me, a voice was sounding:
This land was made for you and me
Was a great high wall there that tried to stop me
A great big sign there said private property
But on the other side it didn't say nothing --
That side was made for you and me
When the sun come shining, then I was strolling
In wheat fields waving and dust clouds rolling
The voice was chanting as the fog was lifting:
This land was made for you and me
-------
In the squares of the city, by the shadow of the steeple
By the relief office, I saw my people
As they stood there hungry, I stood there whistling
This land was made for you and me
(an American Indian verse)
This land is your land, but it once was my land,
Until we sold you Manhattan Island.
You pushed our Nations to the reservations;
This land was stole by you from me.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high, like a diamond in the sky
Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are!
When the blazing sun is gone, when he nothing shines upon
Then you show your little light, twinkle, twinkle, all the night
Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are!
Then the traveler in the dark, thanks you for your tiny spark;
He could not see which way to go, if you did not twinkle so
Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are!
In the dark blue sky you keep, and through my curtains often peep
For you never shut your eyes, till the morning sun does rise
Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are!
TWINKLE, TWINKLE, TRAFFIC LIGHT
Twinkle, twinkle, traffic light, standing on the corner bright.
When it's green it's time to go, when it's red it's stop, you know.

chorus:
Look out campers, here comes Bruce
The happy vegetarian barbeque moose
He likes the leaves on the trees
The green green moss
But his own way of course
He likes it all with barbeque sauce.
In the state of Maine, way up North
A herd of moose came marching forth
It's early in the morning and it's time to eat
One bull moose wants a special treat
One bull moose wants a special treat.
(Chorus)
The campers watch and wait each day
To see if Bruce will come their way
They hide in tents and stay real still
While Bruce licks the sauce
From the barbeque grill
Bruce licks the sauce from the barbeque grill.
(Chorus)
Now the campers near and far
Come with barbeque sauce in a special jar
For the big bull moose who comes each day
Likes his vegetation his own way
Likes his vegetation his very own way.
(Chorus)
We feed hay to the horse
Carrots to the rabbit
Folks up North have a brand new habit
They eat their dinner
And they drink their juice
Leave a little bottle of sauce for Bruce
Leave a little sauce for the barbeque moose.

Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong
Under the shade of a coolibah tree
And he sang as he as he sat
And waited while his billy boiled:
"You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me."
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me
And he sang as he sat
And waited while his billy boiled:
"You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me."
Down came a jumbuck to drink at the billabong
Up jumped the swagman, grabbed him with glee
And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker-bag:
"You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me."
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me
And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker-bag:
"You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me."
Up rode the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred
Down came the troopers, one, two, three
"Who's that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me!"
Up jumped the swagman, sprang into the billabong
"You'll never catch me alive!" said he
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong:
"You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me."

Freezing cold but up spoke George
Said vo-doe-de-o, vo-doe-de-o, doe
Crazy words, crazy tune
All that George could croon and swoon
Was vo-doe-de-o, vo-doe-de-o, doe
On his ukulele, daily
He would strum, beedle um bum
Dancing, prancing
Then he'd holler "Red Hot Mama"
Crazy words, crazy tune
All that George could croon and swoon
Was vo-doe-de-o, vo-doe-de-o, doe
It's a rage, it's a craze
Everybody sings now-a-days

Tunes his uke and starts to shriek
Vo doe de oh, vo doe doe de o doe
Go on the east side, west side
Here or there, everywhere

Then they holler, "Red hot mama!"
Young or old, old or young
The guy that started it should be hung

When I get older, losing my hair, many years from now.
Will you still be sending me a valentine, birthday greeting bottle of wine?
If I'd been out till quarter to three, would you lock the door?
Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm sixty-four?
You'll be older too
And if you say the word
I could stay with you
Every summer we can rent a cottage on the Isle of Wight, if it's not too dear
We shall scrimp and save.
Grandchildren on your knee -- Vera, Chuck and Dave
Send me a postcard, drop me a line, stating point of view.
Indicate precisely what you mean to say. Yours sincerely, wasting away.
Give me your answer, fill in a form, mine for evermore.
Will you still need me? Will you still feed me?

There was a little girl, went walking in the wood
She wore a bright red riding cap, her name was Riding Hood.
The basket on her arm was filled with things to eat
She took it to her Granny's house, because she was so sweet.
But little did she know a wolf was watching her
He was a great big hungry wolf who liked to eat up girls.
The wolf made up his mind to visit Granny first
And when she opened up the door, into the house he burst.
"I beg you Mr. Wolf," the poor old lady cried,
"Red Riding Hood will be here soon, and she's too young to die."
The wolf he gave a laugh, and not a tear he shed
He jumped on Granny, ate her up, and then got in her bed.
And when the girl arrived, she knocked on Granny's door
"Come in," the wolf called out to her. "It's Riding Hood, I'm sure."
The wolf stayed in the bed, and covered up his face
Red Riding Hood came in the house and gave him an embrace.
"Oh Granny," said the girl, "why are your eyes so wide?"
"The better for to see you with," the great big bad wolf lied.
"Oh Granny, but your ears -- how did they get so hairy?"
"The better for to hear you with." His voice was very scary.
"Oh Granny," said the girl, "I fear there's something wrong.
Why were your teeth so small before and now they're sharp and long?"
The wolf he laughed out loud, and leaped right out of bed
"The better for to eat you with!" he roared, and she was dead.
The moral of this song: don't walk in woods alone
Or you'll end up like Riding Hood, with nothing left but bones.

Yellow bird, up high in banana tree.
Yellow bird, you sit all alone like me
Did your lady friend
Leave the nest again?
That is very sad,
Makes me feel so bad.
You can fly away, in the sky away.
You more lucky than me.

I'd fly away with you.
But I am not a yellow bird
So here I sit, not no left to do.
Yellow bird, up high in banana tree.
Yellow bird, you sit all alone like me
You can fly away, in the sky away,
Peacock coming soon, big old nectar moon
Black and yellow you, like banana too
I might pick you someday.

Better fly away, in the sky away

I dreamed I held you in my arms
When I awoke, dear I was mistaken, and I hung my head and cried
I'll always love you and make you happy
If you will only say the same
But if you leave me to love another, you'll regret it all someday
You told me once dear you really loved me
And no one else could come between
But now you've left me and love another
You have shattered all my dreams.
