WHEN THE COWS COME HOME

The dogs will be a barkin' when the Cows come home
The larks will be a larkin' when the Cows come home
The deer and the antelope never more to roam
When the Cows Come Home

The Birds will be a chirpin' when the cows come home
The Burps will be a burpin' when the cows come home
The bisson and buffalo never more to roam
When the Cows come home

When the Cows come home ...There'll be alot of mooin'
When the Cows come home ...A bunch of coochie cooin
When the Cows come home ...No matter what you're doin'
You'll never ever again be alone

We're gonna clean our rooms When the Cows come home
With our buckets and our brooms, when the Cows come home
The deer and the antelope never more to roam
When the Cows come home

They'll be tons of bread and butter
When the Cows Come Home
Said one hog to the utter.
When the Cows Come Home
The bees be makin' honey up in their honeycombs
When the Cows Come Home

When the cows come home ...big bellies will be bumpin''
When the cows com home ... the chickens will be jumpin'
When the cows come home ...the clumps will be a' clumpin'
We'll never ever again be alone
When the cows come marching home

MAGPIES AND DRAGONFLIES

You'll hear the ol' Magpies singing lulibies
To the Tadpoles around the pond.
And all the Dragonflies try to harmonize and the blackflies buzz along.
Buzz buzz buzz.....
The little pollywogs are calling all the frogs
In the cool light of the moon
From all the lillypads the tiny tads and dads
Are all swaying to the tune
Wowww Wowww wowww.
Everybody's Happy
Everybody's having some fun.
Everybody's getting along
They're all looking out for everyone
The pretty Turtle Doves look down from above
Both chirping to the groove
The dandelions dance the tulips take a chance
Proudly showing off their moves
Swish swish swish
You'll hear the owl hoot dressed in his owl suit
Tucked away up in his tree
And all the sleepy heads roll over in their beds
To return back to their dreams.

GROWING YOUR MIND

Like hoing a garden and planting a seed
You're growing your mind everytime you read
The more that you read the better off you are
Unless of course your head instead gets bigger than a star
Bigger than a star in the milky-way
Brighter than the sun on a sunny day
Glowing like a moon in the starry sky
Oh what a way to fly.
First you learn the letters than you learn the sounds
Put them all together, mix them all around
Soon you'll be squawking like a mocking bird
One day soon you'll know each and every word

Some words are juicy some words are dry
Some words are louder than the fourth of July
Some words are heavy some are light as air
Some words rock you more than a rocking chair

Some words are empty, some are full of steam
Some words are wilder than your wildest dream
Some words are cornier than a bowl of flakes
Some word are the icing on your Birthday Cake
The more that you read the more you will know
Oh what a way to grow.

MY SHADOW

Has anybody seen my shadow
I can't find him anywhere
Maybe he's hiding under my pillow
Or fast asleep behind the chair
I see out the window that it's raining
I hope that he's not out side
Now I wouldn't be complaining
If he was right here by my side
Since I lost my shadow
I've been so alone
So I anybody finds my shadow
Please send my shadow homeNow it's kind of hard to discribe him
Cuz' sometimes he's very small
Then sometimes when I'm walking beside him
He looks like he's over ten feet tall
He's a curious and funny fellow
And He's mostly grayish black
If you see him please let him know
That I really, really, want him back
Chorus
Oh why oh why is he hiding
Was it something that I said
I've looked in the closet and down in the basement
Behind the garage and out in the shed
I've looked in the bedroom, the mudroom and playroom
On top of the bureau and under the stairs
Has anybody seen my shadow
Can't find him anywhere.
Spoken: If anybody finds my shadow,
please tell him not to roam,
cuz i miss him and love him and I'll even hug him
If you send my shadow home
Has Anybody seen my shadow. Repeat and fade

ROCKS IN MY HEAD

I've got rocks in my socks rocks in my shoes
Rocks on the radio rocks in the news
Rocks in my pocket rocks in my Bed
Even got a couple of rocks in my Head

Rocks in my head rocks on my mind
Can't help thinkin' bout rocks all the time
There's no tellin' what I might do
If I drop any rocks on my blue suede shoes

We be rockin' Like an Open Book
We be Rockin' Like a babbling Brook
We be Rockin' on the way to School
We Be Rockin' like a Rockin' fool
We Be Rockin' like a Dinosaur
We Be Rockin' like a Meteor
We Be Rockin on a Rockin' Tour
We BeRock Rock Rockin' 1,2,3,4

Rocks on the Street Rocks on the Trail
Rocks on the Beach and Rocks in the Pail
Rocks in My Garden Rocks in the Shed
I think I've got to many Rocks in My Head
Rocks in my Head Rocks in my Brain
Rocks on The Bus and Rocks on the Train
Stop with the rocks before I go Insane
And Don't Throw Rocks at my Window Pane

We be Rockin' Like a rolling Stone
We be Rockin' down to our Chromasomes
We Be Rockin' to the Metronome
We Be Rockin' All the way Home

Rockin' like Barney and Fred
We be Rockin' like the Granny and Jed
We be Rockin Like a Chimpanzee.
We be Rockin a 1,2,3

I SHOULD HAVE STAYED IN BED

I should have stayed in bed today in bed's where I belong
I soon as I got up today things started going wrong.

My alarm clock started ringing and it woke me from a dream
"Get out of bed you sleepy head" I heard my sister scream
As soon as my feet hit the floor I stepped on something wet
Something I'd left the night before Oh how could I forget
A bowl of melted Ice Cream spattered everywhere
I slipped and fell and had to yell when my elbow hit the chair
Lying in a gooey mess I wiped my sticky nose
And lumps of soggy cookie doe were squished between my toes
Chorus
I ran to get my morning bath, the room was occupied
Then I heard my Sister laugh on the other side
I flew downstairs two at a time as fast as I could go
Tripped on the cat and there I sat "Oh how could this be so?"
Oh no
Chorus

I might as well have breakfast first, my bath will have to wait
Then I heard my mother say "Hurry, or you'll be late".
I jumped into my chair so quick, I did on the double
When the glass of milk crashed to the floor I knew I was in trouble.
Chorus

LITTLE BOY BLUE
Little Boy Blue whatcha' gonna' do

You've run out of games to play

The friends that you keep are all fast asleep
You've had yourself a busy day
You built your castles in the sand
Traveled to Never-Never-Land
When you got scared Daddy held your hand
And chased those clouds away.
Litte Boy Blue when you lost your shoe
I know that it made you sad
In the scheme of things with all life brings
It really isn't all that bad.
You fell down and broke your crown
And all your walls came tumbling down
It's time to stop ..Your merry-go-round
And close those weary eyes
