How To Dance
02:03
|
|||
If someone told me they didn’t know how to dance
I'd say it's easy, you just move your pants
It’s so easy to dance! It's so easy to dance! It's so easy, you just move your pants!
My brother told me he didn’t know how to dance
I said dude, You just move your hands!
It’s so easy to dance! It's so easy to dance! It's so easy, you just move your hands!
If someone told me dancing isn’t fun
I'd say they're wrong, all you gotta do is run in place, run in place!
It’s so easy to dance! It's so easy to dance! It's so easy, you just move your pants!
Everyone sittin' down doesn't want to dance, it seems.
But you can do it, you can jive like a jumping bean! I know it! You can do it! You can get it!
Cuz it's easy to dance! It's so easy to dance! It's so easy, you just move your pants!
Move your pants. Move your pants! Move your pants! Move your pants!! Move your pants!!! Move your pants!!!! Move your pants!!!!! Move your pants!!!!!!

High Five!!!!!
02:48
|
|||
Sometimes my friends are feeling down
Sometimes their smiles turn to frowns
But when it’s time to turn that frown around
I say: “High Fives all around!”
High five to the left
High five to the right
High five all day high five all night
That's right. I’m thinking that I just might
Give a high five to everyone in sight.
Now we’re feeling pretty good you say?
Well guess what? We can’t high five all day!
That’s right, how 'bout fist bumps this time?
I don’t think that that would be considered a crime!
Fist bump to the left
Fist bump to the right
Fist bumps all day fist bumps all night
Oh yeah! I'm thinkin' that I just might
Share a fist bump with everyone in sight!
Hey wait a second I just had an idea,
Halt the high fives and let’s let’s give it a try
It’d be the best, it'd be cool, rad and neat!
Everyone! Right now! High five with your feet!
High feet to the left
High feet to the right
High feet all day high feet all night
Oh yeah! Not bad, looking real tight!
But if you think that was wild, then listen if you might:
I so travelled far to find out what nobody knows
Hidden deep in Iowa between corn rows
That’s right - as sure as wild wind blows (oh yeah)
It’s possible - to high five with your toes!!
High toes to the front
High toes to the back
High toes all night yeah you got the knack!
For high fives, fist bumps, high feet the rest
You deserve a high five award pinned to your chest!
You do!
The song is over now.

What's A Rutabaga?
01:55
|
|||
What on earth is a Rutabaga anyway?
I don’t know, I don’t know
What on earth is a Rutabaga anyway?
I don’t know, I don’t know
It’s got some waxy stuff on the outside
Wonder if it’s also waxy on the inside?
take a peek and tell me what on earth ya find
Cuz I wanna know!
What on earth is a Rutabaga anyway?
I don’t know, I don’t know
What on earth is a Rutabaga anyway?
I don’t know, I don’t know
I picked these up at the farmer's market
They were on sale, I admit it
This is what happens when you buy stuff just because it’s on sale
It's a little embarrassing!
What on earth is a Rutabaga anyway?
I don’t know, I don’t know
What on earth is a Rutabaga anyway?
I don’t know, I don’t know
How can I find the answer to this question?
Where can I get a Rutabaga lesson?
Wait a second, I know where I can look…
On the twenty-second page of THE RUTABAGA BOOK!
Yes, the Rutabaga Book. Does anybody have a copy?
Hey, I've got a copy! Check it out–turn to page twenty-two!
It says it’s a vegetable that grows in the soil
It’s the root of the plant, tasty when boiled
Grow ‘em in your garden and save ‘em for the winter
Deliciously prepared when they’re
Baked, roasted, broasted, or boiled
Fried, chopped, squashed or mashed
Put ‘em in your salad, soup or stew,
You’ve got no excuse because now you know…
What on earth is a Rutabaga anyway?
Now we know, now we know!
What on earth is a Rutabaga anyway?
Now we know, now we know!
Ah, rutabagas!
Ah, rutabagas!
Ah, rutabagas!
That's my lunch!

Ice Cream (I Scream)
03:22
|
|||
Saturday noon in the middle of June
When the summer heat makes sweat come cheap
The pool is cool, and I’m done with school
And there's just one treat that can’t be beat
From a cone
Or from a dish
Yes oh yes, it's so delish!
It's ice Cream! A little bit of ice cream, please!
I scream!
For Ice cream! A little bit of ice cream, please!
I scream!
I rode a long way on my bike
And I walked all day on a super long hike
I swam through the day in a big wet lake
And after all that there's a treat I'll take
In a cone…
In a dish…
Yes oh yes, it’s so delish!
It's ice Cream! A little bit of ice cream, please!
I scream!
For Ice cream! A little bit of ice cream, please!
I scream!
Sometimes I eat ice cream way too fast
My brain freezes up, but it doesn’t last!
Sometimes I eat ice cream way too slow
It drips down on my toes below…
From a cone…
Or from a dish…
Either way, it's so delish!!
It's ice Cream! A little bit of ice cream, please!
I scream!
For Ice cream! A little bit of ice cream, please!
I scream!
Some people don't eat ice cream because of lactose
And vegan people think that cow milk's gross
But scientists have figured out several ways
To make non-dairy ice cream that totally slays!
From a dish
Or in a cone
Either way, you're not alone!
When it comes to–
Ice Cream! Ice cream!
I scream!
For some non-dairy Ice cream! Non-dairy ice cream for me please!
I scream!
For one scoop...
Two scoops...
Three scoops...
Four scoops! Five scoops! Six, seven, eight, nine, ten scoops of ice cream all for me??
Oh no...
Ice cream.. Ice cream...
Oh, I ate too much ice cream...
Ice cream... Ice cream...
I think I'm gonna wait a while before I eat ice cream again. I still love it though. But I ate too much just now.

At The Library
02:18
|
|||
When there’s something I don’t know, well then I’ll learn it.
Cuz nothing's better on this earth than knowledge
So check out a book, use the computer
Every single day into the future
At the library (shhh)
At the library (shhh)
At the library! (shhhh!)
At the library (shhh)
Shelves and shelves of books so tall
When I’m here I have no worry at all
Even though I love to run and be loud
I’m not when I'm here, so I don’t get kicked out
Of the library (shhh)
Of the library (shhh)
Of the library! (shhhh!)
Of the library (shhh)
In the winter when it’s cold outside
It can be a warm place to hide
In the summer it can get so hot
But through the doors it's not
At the library (shhh)
At the library (shhh)
At the library! (shhhh!)
At the library (shhh)
I guess i need to be more quiet
But I’m just not good at being quiet
I’m just a loud person, mister
But I’ll still try my hardest to whisper
At the library (shhh)
At the library (shhh)
At the library (shhh)
At the library (shhh)
At the library (shhh)
At the library (shhh)
At the library (shhh)
At the library (shhh)
(shh...)

I stayed up late last night!
I stayed up late last night!
I stayed up late last night!
I stayed up, I stayed up!
I stayed up late last night!
I stayed up late last night!
I stayed up late last night!
I stayed up late last night!
I made some oatmeal in the morning
But then I fell asleep without warning
My face was covered with hot porridge,
I'm telling you, it was horrid when
I stayed up late last night!
I stayed up late last night!
I stayed up late last night!
I stayed up late last night!
I always think it’ll be cool
Up late the night before school
But then I had to take a math test
And BONK!
i fell asleep on my desk cuz
I stayed up late last night!
I stayed up late last night!
I stayed up late last night!
I stayed up late last night!
My next class, it was gym
And my teacher was Mr Schwenn
That day we played scooter hockey
And i got my fingers caught in those little wheels, ouchy!
I stayed up late last night!
I stayed up late last night!
I stayed up late last night!
I stayed up late last night!
Someday you’ll stay up late
One day it’ll be your fate
But it won't go all wrong.
Like it did in this song!
Oh I know it won't go all wrong!
Like it did when–
I stayed up late last night
I stayed up late last night
I stayed up late last night
I stayed up, I stayed up!
I stayed up late last night!
I stayed up late last night!
I stayed up late last night!
I stayed up and I could really use a nap right now!
Oh, I'm so tired...

The Salamander Song
02:22
|
|||
I was walking in the woods one day
i flipped a log wet with rain
You won’t believe what I found
Wrigglin’ there on the ground!
It was a-
Salamander, salamander, salamander, salamander!
Salamander, salamander, salamander, salamander!
The salamander looked up at me
To them I was as big as a tree
Other critters would be scared
But the salamander smiled and stared because
Salamanders, salamanders, salamanders, salamanders!
Salamanders, salamanders, salamanders, salamanders–
Aren't scared of anything!
But some people think that ‘manders are icky
They think they’re gross with skin all sticky!
But they’re not slimy, they’re just wet
If you met one, you’d love it I bet because
They're smiley not slimy!
Salamanders, salamanders, salamanders, salamanders!
They're smiley not slimy!
Salamanders, salamanders, salamanders, salamanders!
One day Judy was riding on her bicycle
Through the parking lot of a hospital
And on the pavement, walking across
A little salamander, it was lost!
And so it looked up with its big goofy grin
And then Judy’s heart it did win
She scooped it up, said “let’s find you a home”
So she did. And with that, I end my tome about
Salamanders, salamanders, salamanders, salamanders!
Salamanders, salamanders, salamanders, salamanders!
Salamanders, salamanders, salamanders, salamanders!

The Scat Song
03:12
|
|||
Some words mean more than one thing
And there’s a word for a certain way to sing
When you sing without words and just with sounds
There’s a special word for that–and the word is scat
But–
Skibiddy doo wop bop bop bop hey
(Skibiddy doo wop bop bop bop hey)
Skibiddy doo wop bop bop bop hey
(Skibiddy doo wop bop bop bop hey)
Skibiddy doo wop bop oop
Scat also means–
Walkin’ through the woods you wanna know what critters ‘round
So all you gotta do is put your eyes to the ground
They leave it behind, just like a clue
So come with me, let's sing about that number two
Skibiddy doo wop bop bop bop hey
(Skibiddy doo wop bop bop bop hey)
Skibiddy doo wop bop bop bop hey
(Skibiddy doo wop bop bop bop hey)
Skibiddy doo wop bop oop
Scat also means–
Now what we find in scat today
Was some creature’s lunch yesterday
You’ll be amazed, squat down with some splat
Grab a stick–dissect that scat
I don’t think i should get in trouble for this song
I don’t think singing 'bout scat is at all wrong
I think deserve to use nicer words
Not just singing but also for t–
Now it don’t really smell quite like a mint,
But every living thing makes excrement
Could it be from a bear, hawk, or bat?
Take a sec, and appreciate scat!
One more time!
Skibiddy doo wop bop bop bop hey
(Skibiddy doo wop bop bop bop hey)
Skibiddy doo wop bop bop bop hey
(Skibiddy doo wop bop bop bop hey)
Skibiddy doo wop bop oop
Skibiddy doo wop bop oop
Skibiddy doo wop bop oop
Aww, I stepped in some-
Scat!

All the blue in the world!
All the blue in the world!
All the blue in this big ol’ world,
All the blue in the world!
Not just the sky and the seas!
What about the busy buzzy blue bees?
All the damselflies and beetles and buntings so blue
Flying waiting out there for you! In–
All the blue in the world!
All the blue in the world!
All the blue in this big ol’ world,
All the blue in the world!
Even if I were a squirrel
I’d sing about the blue in the world!
I’d fluff up my tail and give it a twirl
And sing about the blue in the world! Like this–
All the blue in the world!
All the blue in the world!
All the blue in this big ol’ world,
All the blue in the world!
There's a certain certain salamander
Through the mud and soil it meanders
On its skin it's got spots of electric blue
Oh I wish I were a salamander too!
Cuz then I could be part of–
All the blue in the world!
All the blue in the world!
All the blue in this big ol’ world,
All the blue in the world!
But sometimes we feel blue
We get sad, it’s true
But amidst all this blue,
There’re so many who care for you
And there are blue t shirts, blue birds, blue bugs, big blue tarps, blue lakes, blue snakes, and a big blue house, and a blue corvette, I'm blue da bo dee dab o die...
And all the blue in the world
All the blue in the world
All the blue in this big ol’ world
All the blue in the world!
One more time!
All the blue in the world!
All the blue in the world!
All the blue in this big ol’ world,
All the blue in the world!
All the blue in the–
All the blue in the–
All the blue in the–
All the blue in the–
All the blue in the–
All the blue in the–
All the blue in the–
All the blue in the–
The world!

When It’s time to have a parade
When it’s time to have a parade
I throw up my hands, call up marching bands, and I shout hooray!
Cuz we don’t need a special day
We don’t need a weekend or holiday...
Cuz if your day needs an upgrade, say yes way today’s a day for a parade!
When it’s time to have a parade
When it’s time to have a parade
I march in step, I walk in time, and I shout hooray!
I’ll parade on any day!
Not just on the fourth of July…
No lie on this guy you can rely for his daily cry to the sky: "I love parades!"
When it’s time to have a parade
When it’s time to march the day away
Sing what you want! Wear what you want! And don’t forget hooray!
Nothing beats a parade!
It really feels the most divine
Cuz rain or shine you’ll be feeling fine cuz no one’s tryna whine in the line of a parade!
So let's have a parade!
When it's time to have a parade!
Even when the parade is through
Say wahoo! we’ll keep doin what we do, and what we do in this crew is tell
the truth to the youth and elderly tenderly: exemplary is celery but so are parades!
