CD #4 Lyrics

NEW McDONALD
Old McDonald had a farm. E-yi E-yi Yo!
But I live in a walk up. Ready, Set, Go!
Up the steps, one two, three.
Hey, can Ezra play with me?
Up the steps, four, five, six.
Who’s bakin’ cookies? Chocolate chips!
Up the steps, seven, eight, nine.
That door’s familiar. Oh it’s mine!
Up the steps ten, eleven, twelve.
From the roof the view is swell!


UP ON THE BRIDGE
I’m up on the bridge; I’m high in the sky
I can see the river and the ships roll by
I wonder where they’re going?
Bet’cha far away
I’m gonna see the whole wide world one day!


I CRACK ME UP
I crack me up with the funny things I do
I’m a monkey in the zoo
I crack me up with funny things I say
Meet me tomorrow if not yesterday – Hey!
I crack me up and up and up and up
I crack me up until I fall down
I’m a big laugh all around

I crack me up with the funny things I do
I’m an elephant in the zoo
I crack me up with funny things I say
Foopy-bo-poopy and boink! – Hey!
I crack me up and up and up and up
I crack me up until I fall down
I’m a big laugh all around


GINGER AND FRED
I’m whirling, I’m twirling, I’m dancing on air
I spin with a grin ‘cause I haven’t a care
The sun in your pigtails has gone to my head
Oh, I love to dance like Ginger and Fred

I’m whirling, I’m twirling, I’m dancing on air
I spin with a grin ‘cause I haven’t a care
The stars in your eyes have gone to my head
Oh, I love to dance like Ginger and Fred.

GIRL POWER
My baby turns some heads when she strolls by
She’s got brains to match those big brown eyes
She’s all that and more in half the size

Listen up, now! Have you heard the news?
That little girl can even tie her shoes
And she’s got brains and she’s got attitude

Everybody shout out girls are cool!
You good ol’ boys best get your class in school
That little girl is gonna change some rules


VELCRO
I like a zipper when it’s easy to zip
And a snap’s ok when it’s gotta be quick
I can manage a button, but I’d rather not
But there is one thing I like a lot

It’s velcro, I love that sound
Velcro, like it all around
Velcro, now velcro’s hip
And I like it much better
Than the snap and a zip


I’M A BIRD
Look! Up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane!
It’ssssss…a bird

Tweet tweet tweet tweet tweet I’m a bird
Tweet tweet tweet tweet tweet Just a bird

The last time we left Birdie, he wasn’t reversing any natural disasters, chasing any bad guys, or saving anybody! He was just flying around, singing, like this…

GET DOWN
Get down, get down, get down, get down, get down, Get down, get down and crawl around.
Everybody’s bigger than me and they’re walkin’
Everybody’s bigger than me and they’re talkin’
But I’m not gonna to let it get me down
‘Cause I’ve got my own special way to get around.


FIRE TRUCK
I was eatin’ beans and bread
When my dog Ralph sat up and said
I don’t mean to alarm you Dave,
But I think your hair’s on fire.

Then I heard the bell
And the engines roar
And the sirens wail
And a big loud horn
The fire truck pulled right on up
And put my hair right out.

I was standin’ on my head

I was swimmin’ on my bed

BIG OLD TREE
I am a big old tree
Stuck in the ground is me
If I had just one wish
I’d like to dance like this:

I’d do a little bump
I’d do a little twist
I’d do a little jump
And wiggle just like this
I’d do the funky chicken; it’s silly yes I know
And then I’d pack my trunk and hit the road.


EVERYBODY’S GROOVIN’
Everybody’s groovin’
Up and out and movin’
Trees and flowers bloomin’
Spring has come to town.

At the park they’re walkin’
Hangin’ out and talkin’
Playing ball and chalkin’
Spring has come to town

We’ll sing and dance around again
Oh, Spring has come to town


I’M A SWINGER
I’m a swinger from way back
Back and forth I go
I’ve swung on every swing there is
And swiveled some you know.

I’m a slider from way back
Up and down I go
I’ve slid on every slide there is,
Some slippery, some slow.

I’m a climber from way back
All around I go
I’ve clung on every climb there is
From here to Buffalo.


BIG PALE MOON
The sun has said good night
The stars are all in bloom
And beams of pale moonlight
Are dancing in your room

So close your tired eyes
And drift off to your dreams
With soft sweet lullabies
A kiss and pale moonbeams

Good night my little one
Good night the big pale moon
I’ll see you when the sun
Comes dancing in your room

So close your tired eyes
And drift off to your dreams
With soft sweet lullabies
A kiss and pale moonbeams
