Good Thing You're A Kid 02:10

Good thing you’re a kid, before you grow up! maybe you remember when you got stuck maybe you remember some of the things you did I hope as a grown up you still can be a kid When they were kids, what were the grownups like, Did they play sports or ride their bikes? Did they love pizza or Krispy Kremes? Did they have nightmares, did they have dreams? What did they do when they were young? What toys did they love, how did they have fun? Did they get teased or do the teasing, Was their school closed when it was freezing? Good thing you’re a kid, before you grow up! maybe you remember when you got stuck maybe you remember some of the things you did, I hope as a grown up you can still be a kid!

Ant Dancing 02:44

Ant Dancing, Ant Dancing All you need's a beat and a groove Ant Dancing, All you gotta do is move We're the ants that you smashed today But we've come back just to say Picking on ants is no sign of strength Cause obviously we're as tough as grapes We've returned to let you know That smashing the innocent goes to show You're the weak one when you pick on ants C'mon everybody let's do the Ant Dance! Ant Dancing, Ant Dancing All you need's a beat and a groove Ant Dancing, All you gotta do is move We're getting really tired of watching people wait Looking at the other guy to set it all straight Do the mean ones rule cause they act so tough Where are the people who say, "That's Enough" ! So wake up kid and learn to be strong Don't be afraid to say what's wrong Try to stick up for the little and light That will indicate all your might Ant Dancing, Ant Dancing All you need'd a beat and a groove Ant Dancing, All you gotta do is move

If You Can't Ride A Duck, Take A Train 02:51

If you can’t ride a duck take a train And you’ll always be dry from the rain A train can take you anywhere Pack your dreams a train won’t care Bring your friend and share the fare If you can’t ride a duck take a train A long time ago when the trains weren’t around Everyone walked or rode horses to town The roads were a mess, the wagons got stuck Someone suggested why not ride a duck? Then the roads got better and travelled picked up And people forgot how to travel by duck Boats pulled by mules soon came to be Towpaths and barges made history So If you can’t ride a duck take a train And you’ll always be dry from the rain A train can take you anywhere Pack your dreams a train won’t care Bring your friend and share the fare If you can’t ride a duck take a Then along came the steamboat With trains right behind A well crafted engine could make the steep climb Over mountains under passes Across the great divide The tracks crisscrossed the nation Ducks watched from the side So If you can’t ride a duck take a train And you’ll always be dry from the rain A train can take you anywhere Pack your dreams a train won’t care Bring your friend and share the fare If you can’t ride a duck take a

Oh, Dancing with a frog, dancing with a frog He's light on his feet, he keeps a good beat The world's all agog when you dance with a frog They put him in a fairy tale and he struggles from within But he really cannot be himself with a prince under his skin There's froggy goes a courtin' or frog and toad are friends But frog would like a word or two about the story's end Oh, Dancing with a frog, dancing with a frog He's light on his feet, he keeps a good beat The world's all agog when you dance with a frog It seems like only yesterday that fishes ruled the earth And in the evolution mix amphibians gave birth Now here comes frog with much to say a croakin' and a jivin' Salamanders, newts and toads did more than just surviving' Yeah He doesn't do much courting' the girls ain't waiting 'round Frog needs to quit complaining, get his life off the ground Now keep in mind who got here first four billion years ago Frogs make good partners here on earth when your dancing fast or slow Oh, Dancing with a frog, dancing with a frog He's light on his feet, and he keeps a good beat The world's all agog when you dance with a frog

When You're A Bad Guy 02:27
lyrics

When you're a bad guy it gets kind of rough Always expected to act so tough We're always expected to push and shove Maybe what we need is whole lot of love We're not sure how we got this way we were once dear and nice It certainly was an unlucky day that turned our hearts to ice Now we watch out for ourselves we want what's best for us Forget the good and sensitive, we don't think that's a plus When you're a bad guy it gets kind of rough Always expected to act so tough Always expected to push and shove Maybe what we need is whole lot of love Yet we sometimes reconsider just what would have been To be kind and sweet and loving and caring from within We quickly soon dispel the thought we're used to who we are To change to something better, just scares us more by far Oh, When you're a bad guy it gets kind of rough Always expected to be so tough Always expected to push and shove Maybe what we need is whole lot of love

Moonwalk Rap 01:43

Now you see ‘em now you don’t Are they headed this way, let’s hope they won’t Is that them there so way up high Did they make that streak across the sky? Well here they come sit back in your seats The guy whose flyin’ has two left feet Can he land this thing, does he know how to stop? Oh my goodness, my ears just popped, Oh my goodness, my ears just popped! Whoops! Here they come, no need to stress Where to next, we cannot guess Fantastic moonwalk exploring the mind The dog can drive he’s one of a kind Along the way he’s on a quest What makes a person a real success He’ll share the story of what they did But he knows it all started when they were kids He knows it all started when they were kids He knows it all started when they were kids We're back, We're back How did you like that? A rocket ship that went so far Up beyond the brightest star To the moon we went just to see To help those grownups come to be The amazing people that they were The amazing people that they were The amazing people that they were

Dino Not A Rhino 02:10
lyrics

I'm a Dino not a Rhino, not a fossil, I'm colossal I'm a Dino not a Rhino and with my new found friends I'm sure it's not the end. Once I heard some people talking about a Dino they saw walking He was purple on TV, so we know that he can't be close to 63 million years old. I'm a Dino not a Rhino, there's no horn upon my head I'm a reptile, not a mammal, though I know we both are animals But in spite of what you're told a Rhino cannot be nearly 63 million years old. So in spite of what you're told a Rhino cannot be nearly 63 million years old Once i heard some people talking about a Rhino they saw walking She was on Discovery so we know that she can't be close to 63 million years old So in spite of what you're told it is not so bad to be nearly 63 million years old

Oh, oh, life on a submarine People think it's so clean You're surrounded by water, there's no room for clutter You think you're in a dream When we're not doing our chores We are never, ever bored You can look out the window And see life below Just don't open the door ! Oh, oh, life on a submarine People think it's so clean You're surrounded by water, there's no room for clutter You think you're in a dream Submarine life beneath the sea Where treasures are found and mystery Thank goodness for technology We can stay down here and breathe !

Endangered Species 03:00

When you're endangered your in danger and you need a re-arranger Someone to help you set the record straight Who will come to your aid without getting paid And hopefully before it's too late So bring on the solution And get rid of the pollution Us animals would have fixed it all by now If we were the ones with opposable thumbs These problems we would not allow If you're a species that's in trouble cause the air pollution's doubled And chemicals affect your water supply Without the plants that give life or the synthesis of sunlight There's no doubt you'll just dry up and die So bring on the solution And get rid of the pollution Us animals would have fixed it all by now If we were the ones with opposable thumbs These problems we would not allow The turtle and the bird have recently heard that Bactrian Camels are rare And now they're on the list and may soon not exist unless we all show that we care So bring on the solution And get rid of the pollution Us animals would have fixed by it all by now If we were the ones with opposable thumbs These problems we would not allow

Keep it cranking keep it moving Keep all the parts in shape No matter what your body does, it's never to late We love to eat our pizza, and our chicken nuggets too We're not big fans of the broccoli, or a healthy point of view But someone famous told us get it right while you're still young 'cause it's harder when you're older and the damage has been done Keep it cranking, keep it moving Keep it cranking, keep it moving Keep it cranking, keep it moving Keep it cranking, keep it moving someone famous told us get it right while you're still young 'cause it's harder when you're older and the damage has been done Keep it cranking, keep it moving Keep all the parts in shape No matter what your body does it's never too late It's never too late

Mythical, terrifical, invincible mythical, terrifical, invincible It’s Spiderman and Zeus himself, it’s Wonder woman And the shoemaker’s elf It’s a story and a hero, A ‘we’ or ‘he’ or ‘she’ To be in the land of mythical All you need is bravery!

We love it, we share it, each culture has its own, Our mythical terrifical Is just what we call home! So come along and take a trip Not a magic carpet ride You’ll find your own invincible If you only look inside You’ll use it, don’t lose it It will keep you strong Your mythical, terrifical Will help you right a wrong Help you right a wrong Mythical, terrifical, invincible Mythical, terrifical, invincible It's mythical, terrifical, invincible Mystical

She Traveled Across The Ocean 02:29
lyrics

She traveled across the ocean Packed and on the ship She sailed from France to the USA An extremely difficult trip. No family traveled with her She traveled all alone. And though the land was foreign She hoped to call it home. She traveled across the ocean She traveled across the ocean When she arrived the people cheered And lent a helping hand Crates and boxes came ashore But nowhere could she stand. And then Americans found a way For everyone to see That she would stand, a welcome sight, She stood for Liberty She traveled across the ocean She traveled across the ocean A lady of such grace and strength Inspires many others Travelers from worlds beyond Children, Fathers, Mothers She traveled across the ocean She traveled across the ocean She holds the torch and never tires So everyone can see She tells the world, no matter what She stands for Liberty. She traveled across the ocean She traveled across the ocean

I love my kids, they are the best Sometimes they put me to the test, But mostly I love and nurture My child is my present, To the future I love to watch them grow and play The way their worlds unfold each day My kids started out fair and just, It’s up to me to keep that trust. I need to listen, I need to see, Kids need to sing in any key I need to listen, listen to me, Kids want to sing in harmony I try to guide and lead them through The way my parents used to do Sometimes I‘m wrong, maybe right Sometimes they’re my guiding light I’ll never really truly know How my kids helped me learn and grow, Childhood passes oh so fast, But loving them will always last.

Well I’m homesick but I’m not sick of my home They call it that way when you’re far away and feeling all alone And you miss your house and your family and the things that belong to you The only consolation is you know they miss you too I miss my fish and turtle Fran They live beside my bed At night before I go to sleep I pat Fran on the head I miss my sister and little brother Though they can make me mad And even thought they drive me nuts When I see them I’ll be glad Cause I’m homesick but I’m not sick of my home They call it that way when you’re far away and feeling all alone And you miss your house and your family and the things that belong to you The only consolation is you know they miss you too I miss my favorite place to sit It’s in my big old chair When someone I love sits with me It’s the best place anywhere I miss my room and my backyard My favorite tree is there That’s where I climb and laugh and gaze At the blue sky or a star Cause I’m homesick but I’m not sick of my home They call it that way when you’re far away and feeling all alone And you miss your house and your family and the things that belong to you The only consolation is you know they miss you too

I love my Galimoto and I use it every day Thinking about my African friend who lives so far away I don't know who really made it but I know I feel quite fond of the child who made this toy for me We share a special bond. I used to want a tractor, I'd ride it everywhere The evening light upon my face I'd ride without a care My tractor dream then disappeared, I've never really known why So grandma gave this toy to me, and said give it a try Its simple beauty will make you smile and soon you'll feel quite fond you and the child who made this toy Will always share a bond I used to want a tractor, I'd ride it everywhere The evening light upon my face I'd ride without a care i love this Galimoto and I use it every day I love my Galimoto and i use it every day. I love this Galimoto I love my Galimoto I love my Galimoto I love this Galimoto

One minute I was happy Doing what I always do Now it seems life’s upside down and I’m feeling lonely too. I don’t know what happened Why can’t we all be friends People fighting people We should all just make amends Make amends One minute I was free Learning what I’m supposed to do Next thing you know it’s different And I haven’t got a clue I don’t know what happened Why can’t we all be friends People fighting people We should all just make amends Make amends No one can explain it It’s written in all history We know it all continues And it's the 21st Century Don’t wait until tomorrow Don’t think it’s all okay Keep looking out for others And do it yesterday Yesterday One minute I was thinking My life was going good Then it all got turned around Stopped going like it should I don’t know what happened I don't know know what went wrong People disagree, how about we all belong All belong One Minute, Happy I don't know what happened i don't know what's wrong People disagree, let's agree to get along Get along

Don't Give Up 02:56

We’re only kids, so what do we know Our lives are ahead, there’s a long way to go But we’ve got some advice If you’d care to listen, When you’re stuck or feelin’ down, Here’s what you’re missin’ Don’t give up though you wish you could, Seeing it through might Do you some good! Things may change and come out okay, Just like night turning into day! How many people would be where they are if they let themselves cave and fold? Would there be Apple computers or American Idols, would Harry Potter’s story been told? And the bravest of all never gave up, and they didn’t use weapons or fight, they used trust in themselves, belief in their cause, and the knowledge that they were right They were right We’re only kids, so what do we know Our lives are ahead, there’s a long way to go But we’ve got some advice If you’d care to listen, When you’re stuck or feelin’ down, Here’s what you’re missin’ Don’t give up though you wish you could, Seeing it through might Do you some good! Things may change and Come out okay, Just like night turning into day!
