Lyrics for Songs on CD #6 - Winter 2011

WHAT'S IN THE BAG?
 Hey Dad, what’s in the bag?

What’s in the bag for me?

Whaddaya mean shaving cream?

That’s no fun for me!

Whaddaya mean coffee beans?

That’s no fun for me!

MIAMI GRAMMY

I love my Grammy

She lives in Miami

With her boyfriend

His name is Sammy

We’ll go swimming at the beaches,

Pick some lemons and some peaches

And dance around the living room.

I’m flying thru the clouds on a big airplane

I’m gonna be with my Grammy soon

I’ll get a brand new Barbie doll,

See a movie at the mall

And have a back yard barbecue.

I’m flying thru the clouds on a big airplane

I’m gonna be with my Grammy soon

MY CAT

I was sitting on the floor when my cat strolled in

She had a funny kind of look

And a strange kind of grin!

I said, “Hey cat! How’s the weather?”

And my cat said “Phh!”

And out popped a feather

I said, “That’s pretty clever; can you do that again?”

And my cat said “Phh!” and out popped ten!

JACKHAMMER JOE

Jackhammer Joe and Big Belly Pete

Are digging a hole down in the street

They're fixing the pipes

That lay underground

So cover your ears - that jackhammer’s loud!

They’re fixing the cables

That run underground

So cover your ears that jackhammer’s loud!

OMI AND CLAIRE

Omi and Claire an inseparable pair

Were having their tea with lady-like airs

When Omi said “Claire, you have four cookies;

I’ve only three, and that’s not fair!”

They argued they stomped on the ground

They banged on the table

The cookies fell down

The dog ate them up

And Omi and Claire did agree

Now that’s funny

Omi and Claire an inseparable pair

Were having their tea with lady-like airs

When Omi said, “Claire, may I pour you more tea?”

And she said, “Thank you, please.”

SUBWAY

Bing bong, the doors open on the train

Bing bong, all the people pile in

Bing bong, and the doors shut tight

And we’re rolling down the track

Rolling down the track

Bing bong, now here’s our stop

Bing bong, all the doors open up

Bing bong, I say bye-bye train

‘Cause it’s rolling down the track

Rolling down the track 

Bing bong, clickety clickety clack

Bing bong, clickety clickety clack    

Bing bong, clickety clickety clack                 

We’re rolling down the track

We’re rolling down the track

I'M A SNAKE

I’m a snake if you ask

I slither and slide through the tall, tall grass

I’m a bird don’t you know

 I flap my wings and up I go

I’m a dolphin that’s me

I jump and dive in the deep blue sea

BAGEL

I’m big and round, got a hole in the middle

I’m lumpy and bumpy and they call me pumpernickel

I’m good in the morning, I’m good at night

A little bit of butter and I taste just right

Come on, gobble me up, gobble me up

gobble, gobble, gobble me up

Yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy, yum, yum, yummy

That bagel sure tastes good in my tummy

A little bit of butter and jelly too

Who wants bagels? Hey, I do!

Come on, gobble me up, gobble me up

gobble, gobble, gobble me up

BLANKET OF SNOW

When I awoke one winter’s day

The weather was cold and the sky was gray

I zipped up my coat and went out to play

The snow was tumbling down

And it came down, down, down, down

A blanket of snow on the ground

I dreamed the snow had melted away

The sun was as hot as a summer’s day

I zipped up my coat and went out to play

And the snow was tumbling down

LITTLE BUNNY

I'm a little bunny I can wiggle my ears

I'm a little bunny, I can wiggle my nose

I'm a little bunny, I can wiggle my tail

And here's a little story

About the night I spent in jail

Well, I was hoppin' around

I was hoppin' and I hopped right into town

I was hoppin' when I hopped the train

I was still hoppin' when the police came.

I wiggled my ears and I wiggled my tail

They said, “That's cute bunny,

Now hop right on into jail!”

I'm a little bunny I can wiggle my ears

I'm a little bunny, I can wiggle my nose

I'm a little bunny, I can wiggle my tail

And that's my little story

About the night I spent in jail

MOVE YOUR FEET

Can you move your feet to the crazy beat?

Can you wiggle your hips?

Let your backbone slip?

Can you wave up high into the sky?

Get up, get down

Can you give a little jump and do a little bump?

Can you spin like a top, now just don't stop?

Can you shake it all around to the crazy sound?

Get up, get down

WHERE I WANT TO BE

Little one where have you gone?

Off to somewhere I can hardly dream of

Sound asleep on mountain peaks

That kiss the clouds

Is where I want to be, Love

Through your eyes

I see the world’s warm embrace... embrace

Little one where have you gone

Off to somewhere I can hardly dream of

Silver seas that splash the knees

Of laughing children

Is where I want to be, Love

Through your eyes

I see the world’s warm embrace... embrace

SECRET PLACE

Sunlight dances through the leaves

That slip away and float to me

The world that only I can see

In my secret place

The wind that whispers in my ears

A song so beautiful and clear

The world that only I can hear

In my secret place

No one knows where it may be

No one knows except for me
