Birthday (B. Vogan ©2012)

Hey, hey, hey have a nice day
It’s your birthday today
Hey, hey, hey have a nice day
It’s your birthday today - ee – ay

Your one year older than before
But we all love you that much more
And so we’ll gather once a year
For you dear
We’ll throw a party just for you
Do whatever you wanna’ do
Open presents that we bring
While we sing

(Chorus)

Let’s get some candles on that cake
One for each year you’ve been great
Take a breath now, we’ll all shout
Blow em’ out
We’ve watched you grow up for a while
All along you’ve made us smile
All those little things you do
Here’s to you

(Chorus)

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

Little Blue Boat (B. Vogan/D. Shomstein ©2012)

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

And we’ll set sail
Through the bubbles and the soap
We’ll search for whales
In our little blue boat
I see one now
He’s purple and green
Shoots water out
When you give a little squeeze

(Chorus)

We’ll sail around
All the bubbles and the suds
While mom goes to town
On the dirt and the crud
I see a fish
And my yellow duck Max
The fish says “bplbplbplbplbplbplbp”
While the duck just quacks

Pirates Are We (B. Vogan ©2012)

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

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

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

…In our giant black galleon as we search on for treasure
So fork it in on over now, it’s been a pleasure Aarrrrr!

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

…In our giant black galleon, as we search on for ice cream
So hand it in on over now, it’s so enticing Aarrrrr!

You Can Do It (B. Vogan ©2012)

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

Hey you can do it
Put a little practice in and it’ll come along
‘Aint nothing to it
Every time you try you’re just a little further on

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

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

Be Careful With Your Cup (B. Vogan ©2012)

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

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

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

(Chorus)

Tricycle Race (B. Vogan ©2012)

Start your tricycles!

Tricycle race around the lawn
I’m in 1st place and going strong
Good thing I’ve got my helmet on
I fall down, I fall down

I get back up and move ahead
Next thing I know I’m 1st again
Good thing I’ve got my protection
I fall down, I fall down

Billy!!! Come inside your dinner’s getting cold!!!

I’m Living on the Moon (B. Vogan ©2012)

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

I’m living on the moon

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

(Chorus)

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

(Chorus)

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

(Chorus)

Walkabout (B. Vogan ©2012)

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

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

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

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

Watch the Little Train (B. Vogan ©2012)

Watch the little train going chugga-chugga-chugga-chugga, watch the little train going chugga-chugga (choo-choo)
Watch the little train going chugga-chugga-chugga-chugga, watch the little train going chugga-chugga (choo-choo)
Watch the little train going chugga-chugga-chugga-chugga, watch the little train going chugga-chugga (choo-choo)
Watch the little train going chugga

Oh there’s a train on its way down that choo-choo track
I got a ticket to get in it and I ‘aint comin’ back
Singin’ Dinah in the kitchen but it sounds a little flat
There’s a train on its way and I really can’t contain it!
Well here’s a train on its way down that choo-choo track
I’ll go from here to Albuquerque and I ‘aint comin’ back
I’ll be a-munching soy jerky with a turkey named Jack
There’s a train on its way and I really can’t contain it anymore…

(Chorus)

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

Watch the little train going chugga-chugga-chugga-chugga, watch the little train going chugga-chugga (choo-choo)
Watch the little train going chugga-chugga-chugga-chugga, watch the little train going chugga-chugga (choo-choo)
Watch the little train going chugga-chugga-chugga-chugga, watch the little train going chugga-chugga (choo-choo)
Watch the little train going chugga

Oh there’s a train on its way I can see it now
I’m gonna’ get myself up in it gonna’ blow this town
I’m gonna’ grab my green umbrella ‘coz I’m Seattle bound
Oh there’s a train on its way and I really can’t contain it!
There’s a train on its way I can see it now
I’ll go from here to San Francisco to L.A. on down
Maybe chill at the pavilion then we’ll hit this town
Oh there’s a train on its way and I really can’t contain it anymore…

(Chorus)

Well hey ticket lady now don’t you frown
I just found another ticket crumpled up on the ground
Well it says it’s for eleven so you better act now
There’s a train on its way and I know you can’t contain it
There’s a train on its way down that choo-choo track
Well come on now ticket lady and I’ll help you pack
I can watch the ticket station ‘til you come on back
There’s a train on its way and I know you can’t contain it anymore

(Chorus)

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

Capybara (B. Vogan ©2012)

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

Capybara is a giant rodent
A rodent of enormous size
At times they’re in the waves a floatin’
Or they’re chillin’ by the waterside
Capybara eats plants and grasses
Capybara eats bark and fruit
And they live by the old savannah
And they dance underneath the moon

(Chorus)

Capybara is seldom sleepy
So he’s grooving on through the night
But you wouldn’t say it’s done discreetly
When they boogie in the full moon light
Capybara is always dancing
Capybara well he never slows
Down by the old savannah
Watch the capybara as he goes

(Chorus)

Dance, dance dance like a capybara…

Duck & Cow (B. Vogan ©2012)

Duck said ‘quack’ and cow said ‘moo’
That meant ‘hello, how are you?’
‘Quack’ said duck and ‘moo’ said cow
That meant I’ll be going now

(Chorus)

‘Quack, quack, quack’ said the duck as she passed
‘Moo, moo, moo’ sang the cow to the moon
‘Quack, quack, quack’ meant I’ll see you when I’m back
And the ‘moos’ meant I hope to see you soon

Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh oh-ew-oh-ew-oh-oh oh-ew-woah-oh-oh woah-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh oh-ew-oh-ew-oh-oh oh-ew-woah-oh-oh woah-oh

Piggy in the Mud (B. Vogan ©2012)

O-o-oh itty bitty piggy in the mud, in the mud, in the mud, in the mu-u-ud
O-o-oh itty bitty piggy in the mud, in the mud, in the mud, in the mu-u-ud
O-o-oh itty bitty piggy in the mud, in the mud, in the mud, in the mu-u-ud
O-o-oh itty bitty piggy in the mud, in the mud, in the mud, in the mu-u-ud

See the piggy, wiggy wiggle on the ground (on the ground)
Hear the piggy wiggy making funny sounds (funny sounds)
Watch the piggy wiggy wiggle in the mud (in the mud)
That’s just what a little piggy wiggy does!

(Chorus)

See the piggy wiggy eatin’ up his slop (up his slop)
Watch the piggy wiggy do a flippy flop (flippy flop)
Silly piggy wiggy bouncing all around (all around)
Little piggy wiggy’s always getting down

(Chorus)

(Chorus)

That's How a Pumpkin Grows

That’s How A Pumpkin Grows

Take a seed from your pocket and put it in the ground
Press it down nice and deep and push the dirt on down
The harvest moon comes in October
And when you look over your shoulder

That’s how a pumpkin grows
That’s how a pumpkin grows
That’s how a pumpkin grows
Now it’s a pumpkin

When we go to the pumpkin patch we’ll have so much fun
Maybe spend round an hour or two ‘til we find the best one
The harvest moon comes in October
And when you look over your shoulder

That’s how a pumpkin grows
That’s how a pumpkin grows
That’s how a pumpkin grows
Now it’s a pumpkin

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

Pedal to the medal
No going back

Chess

The bishop moves diagonal
The rook takes a straight line
The knight makes an ‘L’ shape
The queen goes anywhere she likes
The pawn kills diagonal
But moves only straight ahead
The king’s the important one
You must move him when the kings in check

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

OOH OH oh oh oh OH OOH OOH oh oh oh OOOH OOH!!!!!

We Call It Fall

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

Oh baby…

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

(Repeat)

The Listening Song

Touch your feet
They’re for walking
Touch your lips
They’re for talking
Touch your ears
They’re for listening to the songs I sing
Touch your legs
They’re for stomping
Touch your teeth
They’re for chomping
Touch your head
It’s for thinking bout’ everything

Touch your knees
They’re for tickling
Touch your hips
They’re for wiggling
Touch your hair it’s for brushing ‘til it’s beautiful
Touch your fingers
They’re for touching
Touch your cheeks
They’re for blushing
Touch your heart it’s for loving everyone in the world

(Repeat)

Firefighter

Do you want to be a firefighter?
Drive around in your big red truck
Do you want to turn on the siren?
Hit the switch make the ladder go up
Do you want to be a firefighter?
At the station in your big red hat
When you hear that fire bell ringing
Down the pole in seconds flat

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

If that’s what you want to do

Do you want to be a firefighter?
Feed the dog, a Dalmatian named Jim
Clean the fire boat in the harbor
Just in case we want to take it for a spin
Do you want to be a firefighter?
With the children at the schools
Give a talk about fire safety
You can do it if you really want to

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

If that’s what you want to do
If that’s what you want to do

Say Hello

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

And when you see me
Be sure to greet me
And if you ask I’ll say I’m fine
And when I see you
I’m sure to greet you
And if I ask say, “Hello, I’m doing fine!”

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

And when you see me
Be sure to greet me
And if you ask I’ll say I’m fine
And when I see you
I’m sure to greet you
And if I ask say, “Hello, I’m doing fine!”

Happy Valentine’s Day

Smack dab in the middle of the month
There’s a day and it’s all about love
And we like to call it Valentine’s
A day for celebrating all the love in your life
Listen up now here’s what you do
Get yourself a piece of paper and some glue
Cut out a heart, glue on a star or two
Write a secret message to the one who amazes you

Happy, happy, happy Valentine’s Day
Happy Valentine’s Day-ee-ay-ee-ay-ee-ay-ee
Won’t you be my Valentine today?
I though it over and I just want to say
Happy, happy, happy Valentine’s Day
Happy Valentine’s Day-ee-ay-ee-ay-ee-ay-ee
Won’t you be my Valentine today?
Happy Valentine’s Day

(Repeat)

Spring

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

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

(Repeat)

High Five

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

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

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