Aardvark in the Park There’s a large dark aardvark in the park They say he’s missing from the zoo The police are looking high and low, They haven’t seen him, have you? Oh I’ll tell you the reason, Because it’s aardvark mating season! When an aardvark makes a date You know he slips right through that old zoo gate So if you see two aardvarks playing in the park Don’t upset their apple cart. Why? You are not a spy, you’re not the FBI, And you should never break an aardvark’s heart!

From the night, when the light’s gonna shine on everyone Why sleep when sleep only closes up our eyes? Why sleep when we can watch the sun arise? * We were meant to see the beginning of the day I believe it was planned to lift us this way Take you an apple and take you a song, And watch the baby day be born Quite, quite, said I, that’s all very well to say When I woke at the dawn, to your singing yesterday I couldn’t see the light ‘cause the dark was in my skies I couldn’t see the sun ‘cause the sun was in my eyes * “Why sleep?” I heard and I followed it today, To the top of the hill, where the wind-songs play I know it like I heard it, why I heard it who knows why Why sleep when we can watch the sun arise?

Baby Lima I think that I would like to be A baby lima or a pea. Living snuggly in my pod In my green and tender bod. Back of the Bread In back of the bread is the flour In back of the flour is the mill In back of the mill is the wind and the rain And the creator’s will. Backwards Song I walked up the door and opened the stairs Said my pajamas and put on my prayers Turned off my bed and jumped into the light All because you kissed me, goodnight When I woke up in the morning I scrambled my shoes Shined up and egg and toasted my shoes Buttered my tie and had another bite All because you kissed me, never could resist me All because you kissed me, goodnight Balloons Green and yellow balloons make me happy The red ones they make me feel sad But tomorrow the red ones will make me feel silly And the next day balloons are just fads * Friends let me cheer you, let me sing you a song Let me tell you a tale of today Let me create a moment, let me make the world move on Let me live life just for today When you see out your window some rain I’ll ask you to come out and play But you’ll stay in your dry house and ask me to come in But today I like rainy days Bamboo You take a stick of bamboo, you take a stick of bamboo, You take a stick of bamboo, and you throw it on the water * Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-na The river, she comes down The river, she comes down I travel on the river, I travel on the river, I travel on the river, and I travel on the water * My home’s across the river… and my home’s across the water *
And some girls look more like Ken, Besides it’s overrated to have plastic friends, Maybe there’s a reason why fairl tales Take place in a land so far-far-far away-ay-ay.. Chorus Barges Out of my window, looking in the night I can see the barges’ flickering lights Silently flows the river to the sea And the barges do go silently * Barges, I would like to go with you I would like to sail the ocean blue Barges, are there treasures in your hold? Do you fight with pirates, brave and bold? Out of my window, looking in the night I can see the barges’ flickering lights Starboard shines green and port is glowing red I can see the barges dead ahead * How my heart longs to sail away with you As you sail across the ocean blue But I must stay beside my window, dear As I watch you sail away from here Bazooka Bubblegum 1.)

She was a fishmonger, but sure ‘twas no wonder For so were her father and mother before And they each pushed their wheelbarrow Through streets broad and narrow Crying cockles and mussels alive, alive, oh! * She died of a fever, and no one could save her And that was the end of sweet Mollie Malone Her ghost wheels her barrow Through streets broad and narrow Crying cockles and mussels alive, alive, oh! Come and Go Come and go with me today We will sail across the bay (a round with a high and low part)

Dona Nobis Pacem Dona nobis pacem pacem Dona nobis pacem Dona nobis pacem Dona nobis pacem Dona nobis pacem Dona nobis pacem The Doughnut Song Well I walked around the corner and I walked around the block And I walked right into a Doughnut shop, And I picked up a doughnut and I wiped off the grease, And I handed the lady a five-cent piece. Well, she looked at the nickel and she looked at me and She said “Kind sir you can plainly see, There’s a hole in the nickel and it goes right through,” And I said, “There’s a hole in the doughnut too!

Can you tie ‘em in a knot? Can you tie ‘em in a bow? Can you throw them o’er your shoulder like a continental soldier? Do your ears hang low? Do your ears stick out, can you waggle them about? Can you flap them up and down as you fly around the town? Can you shut them up for sure when you hear an awful bore? Do your ears stick out? Do your ears stand high, do they reach up to the sky? Do they hang down when they’re wet, Do they stand up when they’re dry? Can you semaphore your neighbor with the minimum of labor? Do your ears stand high?
A Duck Can’t Sit on a Log Oh a duck can’t sit on a log Cause he hasn’t got toes on his feet And a fish can’t swim in the sea like a bird Cause he hasn’t got a waterproof, hasn’t got a waterproof Hasn’t got a waterproof seat.
