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

Music for Aardvarks, CD #6

  1. I absolutely love this CD! My favorite track is And Winter Came. Next would be Trains and Winter Rains. The others are phenomenal as well. An earlier post stated this CD has a feel of cynical commercialism. If you go to her web site and listen to her explanation of this CD she states she wanted to do a more modern take on Christmas carols. Now days unfortunately commercialism at Christmas time is just about every where you turn. The only grievance I have with this CD is I miss when in her earlier work she would blend her native Celtic tongue with English and this CD is predominately English. Other than that I would definitely call this CD a winner!
