(We Are) All In This Together

Let's all paint the town
Red, white, black, and brown
Watch the colors dry
They mix so well, it's no surprise
We are all in this together

Let's all build a home
Gather up the friends we know
Somewhere we can go
We'll make it strong with bricks and stone
We are all in this together

I'll bring the hammer
You bring the wood
It'll stand forever
If the work is good

Let's all build a bridge
Out of ropes, out of sticks
Make it nice and big
So the whole wide world can stand on it
We are all in this together

Let's all plant a tree
Not just one
But two or three
In time, you will see
There's a mighty oak in every seed
We are all in this together

I'll bring the flowers
You bring the sun
And we won't give up
Until the job is done

We are all in this together
We are all in this together
We are all in this together

Be Happy

There’s been a question puzzling 
All of us for centuries 
It’s To Be or Not To Be
Be Happy 
While Hamlet chews the scenery
Yorrick's back there showing teeth 
If he could speak he’d say life's short be happy 

Sometimes you get the starring role 
Sometimes you get the understudy
Buddy, you’re still in the show 
Be happy
If all the world’s a wooden stage 
Grab those tap shoes dance away 
Ham it up don't be afraid 
Be happy 

Be be be be be be be be be
Be as happy as that busy buzzy bee 
Who found himself a flower shop 
Can’t believe oh what he’s got 

Now that’s one happy arthropod 
That’s the kinda thing  i like to see 
I want you to be be be
Be happy, be happy, be happy 
You only go around once try to have some fun 
And be, be happy, be happy, be happy
You only go around once try to have some fun 
And be, be happy.

Be be be be happy 

Take a bowl of sour grapes
Throw it out into the rain 
You could complain 
But why complain?
Be happy 

So you didn't quite come in first place 
Sister you’re still in the race 
Put the smile back on your face 
Be happy 

Even Napoleon at Waterloo he lost the war he really blew it 
If he can lose well so can you 
Be happy 
You don't get cherries without pits
This old apartment ain't the ritz
But hey we make the best of it 
We happy, we happy, so happy  

Be be be be be be be be be
Be as happy as that busy buzzy bee 
Who found himself a flower shop 
Can’t believe oh what he’s got 

(What’s he got?)
He’s got a flower shop
So there’s lots of pollen, and he’s rollin’ around in it 
Very ecstatic
(oh.)

 Oh that’s one happy arthropod 
That’s the kinda thing  i like to see 
I want to see you be be be
Be happy, be happy, be happy 
You only go around once try to have some fun 
And be, be happy, be happy, be happy
You only go around once try to have some fun 
And be, be happy.

Be, be, be, be happy

Good Day

It’s a good day for having a good day 
For making best friends with the sun 
It’s a good day for waking up early to sing with the birdies 
Hey! We’ve gotten up early enough  
To see the morning while it breaks 
It’s like icing on a birthday cake 
No rain on my ticker tape parade 
It's such a good day for having a good day 

It’s a good day 
For having such a good day  
It’s a good day 
For having...

It’s a good day for having a good day
For living it up in the now 
It’s a day for jumping the fences 
We’re not gonna sit still 
like some  sleepy dairy cow 
No! we’ll grab the bull by the horns 
Tear the husk right off  of the corn   
You’ll be happy that you were born 
Cause it’s such a good day for having a good day 

It’s a good day 
For having such a good day 
It’s a good day 
For having such a good day 

It feels like that moment for taking a moment 
From rockin and rollin to smell all the roses 
Let happiness hit you like two fire hoses 
And knock you right off of your feet 

It’s not a bad time 
To totally unwind 
To stop the daily grind 
And move from the sublime 
Towards something ridiculous 
Let’s soar like icarus
It’s hard to keep me on the ground 
With so much red licorice 

Yes! I hit the candy shop
Instead of going to the office 
I’m working hard at just goofing off 
What can I say 
It’s a good, good, good day  

Throw open the window, let it in 
Here and now is where we should begin  
Grab on tight cause this is happening 
Today is a good day for having a good day 

There’s not one cloud in the  sky 
We're made in the shade 
It's a good day for having a good day
It's a good day for having such a good day

Let Imagination Run Away with You

What a dream can do 
Make a grey sky brilliant blue 
Let imagination run away with you 

Take a paper boat  
On a pleasure cruise
Waves in the wind
That’s imagination

Tumbling and spinning 
It’s the spark at the beginning 
Sure you’re landlocked now but you’ll be sailing to the moon 
Once you let imagination run away with you

Let imagination run away
Set it free
Now close your eyes
What do you see? 

When a dream takes hold 
You can spin straw into gold 
Follow your imagination where ever it may go  

Even change the world if you wanted to 
We've got to begin 
With imagination 

Every story through the ages 
Started out as empty pages 
You can build a symphony from such a simple tune 
Once you let imagination run away with you

Let imagination run away
And if you do
You take a dream and make a dream 
Come true

Let imagination run away with you 

Let imagination run

Bestest Of Friends

Ain’t we just the bestest of friends
Some say we’re attached at the hip
You’re the teeter to my totter
I love you just like a brother
Ain’t we just the bestest of friends

Ain’t we just the bestest of buds
Happy as two pigs in the mud
You pick me up we run around
Hangin’ out all over town
Ain’t we just the bestest of friends 

You’re the hip to my hop
You’re the flip to my flop
Yes you is
You’re the tip to my top
You’re finish up the sentences I begin
Yeah we’re just the bestest of friends
Yeah we’re just the bestest of friends 


Ain’t we like two peas in a pod
And even though some might think it’s odd
How we stick together like
2 seats on a tandem bike
Ain’t we just the bestest of friends

Yes I’m gonna say it again
Ain’t we just the bestest of friends
Yes I’m gonna say it again
Ain’t we just the bestest of friends

Keep Calm And Carry On

Oh keep calm carry on
Said the queen to the pawn
We’re small but together we’re strong
Believe in that

Who needs castles
Who needs kings
Golden crowns
Diamond rings
I got you
You got me
We got love
Believe in that 

Let’s be thankful
For the sun and rain
Both have a certain majesty
No need to get anxious
Everything can change
Within a cup of royal tea 

Oh keep calm carry on
Said the deer to the fawn
There’s a glorious forest before us
Stop counting the trees
If you please 

Just kick back and relax
Cool your jets
Here’s the facts
The future’s a mystery
Past is just history
Now is right where you should be 

You gotta take it at your leisure
Life is like a pleasure cruise
Upon a shifting sea
Up and down the waves go
Rolicking your row boat
I won’t let ‘em bother me 

I just keep calm
Keep calm, calm
And carry on 

Oh keep calm carry on
Said the palm tree to the frond
There’s a hard wind that’s blowin’ 
I know it’s been shaking your leaves

But if we stick together
I know we can weather
Any drought or any storm
Lying in the tall grass
We can let it all pass
From day to night
From dusk ‘til dawn 

I just keep calm
Keep calm, calm
And carry on 

Keep calm
Keep calm, calm
And carry on

Color In Your Life

Gimme those colors
I need ‘em now
Monochromatic
Is on the way out
Something exciting
Not boring and bland
I’m talking cool darks, bright lights
Put a little color in your life 

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue
Indigo, and violet too
Open up your eyes it’s true
Open up your eyes

No one lives in black and white
Put a little color in your life
A yellow sun, pink elephant
A purple neon sign
Everything is colors
Put a little color in your life 

Who wants more color
Gimme a shout
Vivid and vibrant
We’re painting the town
Canary lemon or raspberry jam
I’m thinking dandelion, tangerine
Neon carrot, tumbleweed 

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue
Indigo, and violet too
Open up your eyes it’s true
Open up your eyes

No one lives in black and white
Put a little color in your life
A yellow sun, pink elephant
A purple neon sign
Everything is colors
Put a little color in your life 

Mr Mustard, Miss Magenta
Ruby slippers, fire engine
Purple mountain majesty
Silver, gold, aquamarine
Mango tango, sunrise, sunset
Shake that shamrock, mountain meadow
Let’s turn like the leaves in fall
I hear the wild blue yonder call
So many shades and hues
I hope we can use them all 

Put a little bit of color in your life
Put a little bit of color in your life
   (No one lives in black and white)
Put a little bit a, put a little bit a,  
   (No one lives in black and white)
Put a little bit a, put a little bit a,

With these colors
Oh yeah yeah
   (Gimme those colors)
Roses red, violets blue
Change your mind
Change your mood 

With these colors
Oh yeah yeah
   (Gimme those colors)
See the sun orange sky
Who knows how
Who knows why 

With these colors
Oh yeah yeah
   (Gimme those colors)
Green grow rushes
She blushes
Her cheeks pink
How lovely 

With these colors
Oh yeah yeah
   (Gimme those colors)

Leave It In Your Hands

I’ll leave it in your hands
This time you lead the dance
I don’t care about the way the wind blows
I know it’s mostly chance


When the weight of the world on my shoulders
Gets a little bit harder to hold then I planned
Well you help me to stand
I’ll leave it in your hands 

I’ll leave it in your hands
You come through when it counts
I don't hurry from a rain cloud coming now
I know you're there to help me out


The roads that we travel will slowly unravel
In ways the nobody can plan
You do the best you can
I’ll leave in your hands 

Don’t worry, worry, worry
Cause the sun is gonna shine
Just as surely as this highway’s
Bound to wind its way back home
I know you’ll make it home
I’ll leave it in your hands

To everybody all around the world

All around, said all around
All round,  said all around the world
All around, said all around
All around the world

Hello and Goodbye

 

Hello and goodbye
Oh the time, it can fly
It’s farewell for a spell
When I was just sayin’ “hi”

Man, that went fast
Now the future’s the past
I’m always sayin’ hello and goodbye

Hey, oh, where did you go?
You were just here
Now I’m alone
My life is spinning like a turnstile
Here’s why

Friends, they come on in
Woosh, they’re gone again
I was getting to know ya
Just when I was getting to know ya

(I wonder could you stay for awhile?)
I know that nothing’s permanent
Nothing’s written in cement
I get it

(And if you stick around you might find)
A place to hang your hat
Would it really be that bad?
My heart skips a beat
Every time you up and leave

Hello and goodbye
Well the time, it can fly
It’s farewell for a spell
When I was just sayin’ “hi”

Man, that went fast
Now the future’s the past
I’m always sayin’ hello and goodbye

Hello, hello, hello
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Now hold up, wait a minute
Let me sink my teeth in it
This just started
It’s not finished
One more time, from the beginning

STOP the forward motion
PAUSE all the commotion
‘CAUSE I wanna know ya
(ohweohweoh)

(Where did everyone have to go?)
I dunno, it’s such a drag
To be left holding the bag
What do I do with it?

(When will everyone finally stay?)
And like an actor in a play
You say your lines and leave the stage
But it’s hard
‘Cause my heart, ‘cause my heart

Because my heart shrinks a little bit
Every time you gotta split

Hello and goodbye
Well the time, it can fly
It’s farewell for a spell
When I was just sayin’ “hi”

Man, that went fast
Now the future’s the past
I’m always sayin’ hello and goodbye

Hello, hello, hello
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

I’m always sayin’ hello and goodbye

All The Little Things

 

It’s all the little things
I wanna hear you sing
They’re the ones that really count

Wake up from a deep, deep sleep
The alarm clock goes beep, beep, beep
You must’ve set it
‘Cause I always forget to

You’re the sugar in my coffee cup
The oil can when I start to rust
Don’t think I don’t notice all you do
Thank you, thank you

For all the little things
That make the biggest changes
Look closer, closer
There’s a diamond in the details

It’s all the little things
Oh boy, you got me singing
A simple melody like “la la la la la”

You’re the petrol in my empty tank
You put the pennies in my piggy bank
Take my hand and I’m okay
So here’s my thank you

Give me a call
No reason at all
I love when you do

Laugh ‘til it hurts
Mix up your words
Sing out of tune

It might not be grand
But when I need a hand
I want simple and true

These monumental moments
Do not add up to the little things you do

All the little things
They really help me out
It’s all the little things

The ones that count

You know how to help me out
It’s the little things that count
You know how to help me out
It’s all the little things

All the little things

Jumping Rivers

 

Wet shoes, here’s news
They dry out in the sun
The path you choose
You walk before you run

Grab dirt, grab earth
And throw it in the air
No one’s around
No one would care

Say, we’ve been jumping rivers
Way more than I can remember
Hey, if we’re not late for dinner
Could you spend the day with me?

The morning breaks
A canvas that is blank
No more sleep walk
You’d better be awake

We’ll head due north
‘Til the sky’s an Easter egg
Then we’ll turn around
Turn around, ok?

Say, we’ve been jumping rivers
Way more than I can remember
Hey, if we’re not late for dinner
Could you spend the day with me?

No fallen tree across the road
No castle moat, no barricade
We’ll find a way or make one

Go, bottle rocket from the couch
Hop the fence beside the house
It’s a little older now
But we don’t notice

Just another obstacle to get on over

Hey, we’re still jumping the rivers
Sometimes we make it
Sometimes we fall in
Somedays, splash down in the deep end
But that’s ok with me
We still take the leap

We’re still jumping rivers

Unlimited Love

 

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Unlimited love
I can’t get enough
Enough of that good, good, stuff

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
It’s like infinity plus one
I’m having so much fun
Now I’ve got unlimited love

Add it up and add it up
Tell me what you get
Don’t pay for the free fall
Hey, this is what we call
Living life without a net

You can save your pennies for
Some future rainy day
Who needs all that money
When we’ve got plenty
Of sunshine to give away

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
It’s like infinity plus one
I’m having so much fun
Now I’ve got unlimited love

There’s only more question from us
Will there be enough of that love?

Oh yeah, there’s more than enough
All this unlimited love

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Unlimited love
I can’t get enough
Enough of that good, good, stuff

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
It’s like infinity plus one
I’m having so much fun
Now I’ve got unlimited love

There’s more than enough of this stuff
So try to give unlimited love

Vegetables

 

Eat em up better eat your vegetables
‘Til there’s nothing left in your dinner bowl
Make the body happy
Make you feel good
(Eat ‘em up, yum!)

Meat is neat, dessert is sweet
It’s not everything you need
For a good, well-balanced diet

‘Cause vegetables got vitamins
Keep you happy, keep you fit
Better give up and now and try it
Try it, try it

Eat em up better eat your vegetables
‘Til there’s nothing left in your dinner bowl
Make the body happy
Make you feel good
(Eat ‘em up, yum!)

Eat em up better eat your vegetables
For your heart, your head
Your body and your soul

Fresh or frozen
Hot or cold
It’s good for you to eat your vegetables
Your vegetables

Broccoli, carrots
Kelp and kale
Let those snack chips all go stale
Asparagus, it is a must
If it’s available

Don’t just push them around your plate
Put the fork up to your face
You gotta learn learn to love, not hate your vegetables
You gotta love your vegetables

Na na na na na na
Na na na na na

Na na na na na na
Na na na na

Na na na na na na
Na na na na na

Na na na na na na
Na na na na

Yo yo, it’s me
ZDoggMD
Creepin’ slowly in the white Camry Hybrid
Fabric interior

ZPups in the back, strapped
Munching on stacks
Of celery, carrots
No time for trans fats

We’s about to attack this junk food pack
Marinating on the corner
Slingin’ sugary snacks

I got nothin’ but love for zucchini
And I got nothin but kale for you, weenies

16 in the dip and one in the guac
ZDogg is about to make some junk food drop

POP POP POP
Count Chocula flops
Face down in the butter
Took a squash to the chops

Don’t be baffled by broccoli
Perplexed by peas
Suck on beta carotene
And them vitamin c’s

One nation, under vegetation
Up on your feet
Everybody in the house
You are what you eat

They say you are the things you eat
From your fingers to your feet
These are all the things you are

So fill your dinner dish with greens
No more candies and ice creams
Be a supermarket star
Put the veggies in your cart
Build a happy healthy heart 

Na na na na na na
Na na na na na

Na na na na na na
Na na na na

Eat em up better eat your vegetables
‘Til there’s nothing left in your dinner bowl
Make the body happy
Make you feel good
(Eat ‘em up, yum)

Eat em up better eat your vegetables
For your heart, your head
Your body and your soul

Fresh or frozen
Hot or cold
It’s good for you to eat your vegetables
Your vegetables

Vegetables
Eat your vegetables
Eat your vegetables
Eat your vegetables

When We Were Young

There were lions in my backyard
Gathered in a gilded cage
Where the circus used to winter in its final golden age
We would talk, talk, talk about joining up when the big top came undone
There were lions in my backyard when we were young

There were castles in my bedroom made from quilts and fitted sheets
Me and my brother we would guard guard them with our plastic figurines
From the top bunk we could see out over  the green carpet ocean
There were castles in my bedroom when we were young

One thing can be said about the road that's traveled less
Those who walk it live and love a little harder than the rest
And I'm digging through my past like its a buried treasure chest
I'm looking for a little soul
I lost down the rabbit hole
Are we still gold like we was told when we were young 

There were starships made of crystal
From my mother's chandelier
We would fly them through the hallway 'Til the hallways disappeared
Making patterns out past Saturn in the swirling cosmic dust
There were starships made of crystal when we were young

One thing can be said about the road that's traveled less
There's so many twist and turns you don't got time for the regrets
That come from punching a time clock
Until you're sorely out of breath
Don't tell me when I'm done
Or when I'm finally grown
'Cause we're still gold like we was told
When we were young

An heirloom box
Of keystone cops
This helicopter coronation
A swirling sea
Of dragons teeth
It's not just my imagination 

There were lions in my backyard
When we were young

Best Thing I Found

Oh what a big pond
It goes on and on
The end of it may never be found
I was lucky ya met me
Down deep in the blue sea
Just kickin and splashin around
I found some treasure in a sunken ship
I took the stripes right off a tiger fish
Even Neptune said “I must insist”
When he gave me that big coral crown
But you were the best thing I found

Whoa oh
You were the best thing I found
Whoa oh
After all of this swimming around
Whoa oh
You were the best thing I found
Whoa oh
After all this endless searching, swimming around

Oh what a big sky
I gave it a good fly
Through every climate and cloud
I’m so lucky you met me
Joyriding the jet stream
Just flippin and flappin around
I’ve seen the secret at the rainbow’s end
I count the stars among my closest friends
And at this distance you can witness what the spaceman first found
The world is slightly off axis but we still go round round round
You were the best thing I found

Whoa oh
You were the best thing I found
Whoa oh
After all of this flying around
Whoa oh
You were the best thing I found
Whoa oh
After all this endless searching, flying around

I’ve seen London I’ve seen France
(Oh yeah)
I’ve stood upon the edge of the Hoover Dam
(Ooh aah)
El Dorado was enchanting, Shangri La and lost Atlantis
(Can you even imagine? x2)
I’ve posed with yogis in Nepal
(Om)
Met General Tso on the Chinese Wall
(Yum yum)
I’ve taken tea in Tokyo
Skied on Himalayan snow
Seems like everywhere I roam
I never feel quite right at home
Like I do, when I’m with you
Teachers, preachers, queens and creatures
From the deep deep to the furthest reaches
Every city state great lake hamlet or town
But you were the best thing I found

Whoa oh
You were the best thing I found
Whoa oh
After all of this traveling around
Whoa oh
You were the best thing I found
Whoa oh
After all this endless searching, searching around

Great Is Better


Good is good but great is better
Like a  day off with perfect weather
That's how i feel when we're together
Good is good, but great is better

Let’s Go!
You make me want to jump
You make me want to jump for joy
 I feel like a kid again, with a brand new toy

Something has changed
It's not quite the same
Things were ok before, but now they look great

Good is good but great is better
Twice the fun with half the effort
That's how i feel when we're together
‘Cause good is good, but great is better

Good is good but great is better
It's the first kiss that last forever
Walking on air like you're a feather
‘Cause good is good, but great is better

Let’s Go!
You make me want to shout
You make me want to shout out loud
You're the sweet silver lining
That’s shining behind every cloud

Something has changed
Like a room rearranged
It was ok before, but now it looks great

Good is good but great is better
Twice the fun with half the effort
That's how i feel when we're together
‘Cause good is good, but great is better

Good is good but great is better
Like a day off with perfect weather
That's how i feel when we're together
Good is good, but great is better

Good is good
But great is better
Good is good
But great is better
Good is good
But great is better

Hide And Go Seek

Hide and go seek
Won't you come and play with me
Close your eyes and count by fives and don't you dare peek
I'll run away, get myself a hiding place
You won't find me, let's play hide and seek

Am I underneath big grass bed
Deep inside the wardrobe
Out behind the tool-shed
I'll be silent, i'll will hold my breath
You will walk right by me
You will never guess, where i'm hiding

Hide and Go Seek
Won't you come and play with me
Close your eyes and count by fives and don't you dare peek
I'll run away, get myself a hiding place
You won't find me, let's play hide and seek

Am I hiding underneath the sink
Way up in the attic
I'm not where you think
After sometimes, past you i will sneak
When I'm safe home base
I'll yell olly oxen free
Olly olly oxen free

Someday they say I am  gonna change
I will put away my childish things

No more tea parties on penny lane
No more Candyland, no more candy canes
I'll kindly say no thanks, and promptly hide away
From times old parade, and when it marches by me
I'll remain silent, playing hide and seek

10, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50
When I'm done counting, you better split
‘Cause anyone ‘round my base is “it”
I said 10, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50
Ready or not, here I come

10, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50
When I'm done counting, you better split
‘Cause anyone round my base is it
10, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50
When I'm done counting, you better split
‘Cause anyone round the base is it
Anyone round my base is it

Intelligence Humility And Happiness

Intelligence, you’re something that I want in my brain
The more I give my mind to you the more that I gain
You’re such a healthy wealth of information it’s true
And I believe you’re so much more than clever
So I’ll take after you

Humility, I’m learning more about you each day
Though sometimes I forget you with those little things I say
You take the focus off of me and put it on you
But I believe you do it for the better
So I will trust in you

Say!
Leg-go all the Ego
He just get in the way
Don’t make allegoric sculpture
From perspicacious clay
And the brevity in levity
Of wanting more cake
Feels like dropping precious pennies
In a cracked piggy bank  

Oh Happiness, you’re thankful in the sun and the rain
(a little less rain...please)
You got me so in love with you in ways I can’t explain
(Let me explain)
You’re available for pick up and delivery too
(Been waiting on you)
And I believe that we should stick together  
(Like glue!)
So I will follow you 

I’ll follow you
I’ll follow you
Yes I will follow you
I will follow, I will follow you
I will follow, I will follow you
Yes I will follow you

New Day Sunshine


Hello Mr. Sun (hello.)
You're not the only one
Who can shine as bright
As a billion birthday candles
Let's make a brand new start, 
We'll jump into the car
And drive as far and fast
As we can stand it

New day sunshine,
I'm all yours and you're all mine
You're my new day, 
New day sunshine

Hey hey there old oak tree (hey hey.)
You stand so stoically
A statue made of leaves
And bark and branches
Though I'm afraid of heights, 
When I'm with you
I just might climb to the top,
It's time to take some chances

New day sunshine, 
I'm all yours and you're all mine
You're my new day, 
New day sunshine

New Day Sunshine
 
New leaf, you'll see me turning over everyone
New Day Sunshine
New days, new ways, new rays are falling from the sun
New Day Sunshine
I used to run from roller coasters
But now I ride them like I'm supposed to

Hello little star, 
Do you know how brave you are?
Across the universe
You've come to light the dark

New day, sunshine
I'm all yours and you're all mine
You're my new day, 
New day sunshine

New Day Sunshine

Go For It


There’s a mountain of work to be done
There’s a three legged race to be run
You want everything under the sun
Then go for it 

There’s so many book spines to break
There’s so many snow globes to shake
There’s a brand new mistake to be made
Now go for it 

Work harder and smarter
Forget what you know
You can’t learn it all now
But you can get close
You can get close 

Gimme a “G”
Gimme an “O”
Silver cheap
What we want is gold
Best to charge the grandstand
‘Cause there ain’t no time to sit
On your mark, get set, 
Now Go-Go-Go For It!

Go for it 

There’s 1001 Arabian nights
There’s a hundred little bulbs you can light
It’s dim before it gets bright
Now got for it 

There’s illuminated scripts to be read
And it’s just like Mr Edison said, 
“You can finally rest when you’re dead.” 
 Now go for it 

Work harder and smarter
Forget what you know
You can’t learn it all now
But you can get close
You can get close 


Gimme a “G”
Gimme an “O”
Love is the key
It’ll open the door
Best to charge the grandstand
‘Cause there ain’t no time to sit
On your mark, get set, 
Now Go-Go-Go For It!

Always working, always learning
Keep those candelabras burning
Fingers flying, you’re composing
Just like Mozart and Beethoven 

Pick it up, pick it up 

Don’t you dare stop
Don’t you dare quit
You’re near the end
Can’t you see it?

G-O-F-O-R-I-T
Said Go, Go,  Go
G-O-F-O-R-I-T
Said Go, Go, Go For
G-O-F-O-R-I-T 

Hear that Ode to Joy
It’s now or never, boy

Go For It!

Apple Tree

Standing like a statue in a
yellow field
Everyday we run out towards the
Apple tree

And tigers chase us ‘round the trunk they’re
On our heels
But they never seem to catch us ‘neath the
Apple tree

Look at me
Lucky me
I’m as happy as can be
When I’m swinging from the branches
Of a great big apple tree

You say you wanna sail the world, well, 
Come with me
We leave at 4, so all aboard this
Apple tree (All Aboard!)

You can be the Captain at the
Steering wheel
We’re a pair of Megallens
Ahoy! We’ll be yelling from high atop the
Apple tree

Look at you
Look at me
We’re as happy as can be
We’ll sail around the world on this
Great big apple tree

Linger at the bus stop
And I’d walk you home from school
You’d let me hold your textbooks
Pens, papers, pom poms, and rulers
We carved our names into the bark
Set inside the shape of a cartoon heart
All underneath that great big tree

Apple, apple tree
Apple, apple tree
Apple, apple tree-eee

Where’s my apple tree?

These days the cat wakes me
For her morning Fancy Feast
While the coffee pot starts grumbling
For just one more hour sleep
And in the distance I can hear that rush hour revelire
(Honk Honk Beep Beep)
Well it’s waiting there for me
But I think I’m gonna be
Climbing right on top of my great big apple…

Tree tops and the hillocks
Were an Emerald City green
The kind of days that make the Oxford poets spill their ink
I’m rushing to write down those memories fickle as a wink
So hold on tight now to the
Great big apple, great big apple, great big apple
Tree. 

You said that there’s no more  magic left
Well, you shall see
I wave a wand and we’ll hop upon this
Apple tree
It turns into a dragon with a
Hundred wings
And he roars, and he soars
Over mountains and shores
Over medieval castles and kings

Lucky you
Lucky me  
We’re as happy as can be
When we’re flyin’ on the back of this
Great big apple
I’m not coming down from this
Great big apple
You can leave me hear with my
Great big apple tree

Pink Lemonade

I said
Pink pink lemonade
I’m not quite sure how it is made
I drink it down ‘til it is safe
And sound in my belly 

I said
Pink pink lemonade
I love the taste and I love the shade
Reminds me of my baby’s face
The one I give my kisses to
The one I’ve given all my kisses to.

I drink it the morning
And I drink it in bed (oh oh)
People must think I’m Plum  (Plum!)
Outta my head 

But I don’t give a hoot. (Hoot! Hoot!)
Cause I know what I want. (I know what I want)
I order pink lemonade
In a fancy restaurant 

I said
Pink pink lemonade
I’m not quite sure how it is made
I drink it down ‘til it is safe
And sound in my belly 

I said
Pink pink lemonade
I love the taste and I love the shade
Reminds me of my baby’s face
The one I give my kisses to
The one I’ve given all my kisses to

Pink is the color of my right thumb
Pink is the color of a carnation
Pink is the color of the stuff I chug
When my tummy starts to rumble (Rumble, rumble, rumble)

Pink’s the color of the setting sun
Pink’s the color on the tip of my tongue
It reminds me of the girl I love
The one I give my kisses to (One I give my kisses to)

I said
Pink pink lemonade
I’m not quite sure how it is made
I drink it down ‘til it is safe
And sound in my belly (Sound in my belly)

I said
Pink pink lemonade
I love the taste and I love the shade
Reminds me of my baby’s face
The one I give my kisses to
The one I’ve given all my kisses to

Possibility

We can go swimming on the moon
We can live inside a big balloon
Plant a garden underneath the sea
We can give our love and still be free

Everything’s a possibility
When everything’s a possibility

We can hide a secret in our hand
We can have a rabbit in the band
Use a lock to open up a key
So we can sing a brand new melody

Everything’s a possibility
When everything’s a possibility

If someone tells you you cannot achieve all of your dreams
Well then believe me when I say that they are wrong
It’s not that I’ve arrived but I’m just glad to be alive
So I just had to go and write it in a song

People laugh and think you’ll never do it
It’s because they like to act just like they knew it all along
It’s not the easy way to go but there is nothing better
Than the day you know you’re right where you belong

We can see a film before it starts
We can laugh at all the saddest parts
Make a little honey for a bee
We can give our love and be free

Everything’s a possibility
When everything’s a possibility

In My Blue Jeans

Way-o-way-oh-oh-oh!
Way-o-way-oh-oh-oh!

A secret fort, a tire swing
A red lunch box, a rod and reel
We're catching whales in tiny streams
I'm rollin' up my blue blue jeans
Hey-oh-hey-oh-oh!

We run  through yards and haunted woods
And treasure map and neighborhood
A thousand miles from home it seems
I'm in my blue blue jeans

There's one tiny hole at the bend of the knee
That got caught on a branch whils’ i’m climbin’ a tree
We can sail wooden ships in the air on the breeze
We're pirates and princesses, captains and kings

I said 1-1-1 more time around the playground! (run run run)
I said 2-2-2 more pushes on the swing! (swing swing)
We got 1-2-3-4 hours until sundown
I'll spend it in my favorite blue jeans

We’re chewing gum from trading cards
And stunt driving match-box cars
We dare to jump the vast ravines
I’m fearless in my blue blue jeans
Hey-oh-hey-oh-oh!

We're masters of hide-n-go-seek
We capture flags, we can't be beat
Skinned up elbows, dirty feet
I'm in my blue blue jeans

There's wear and there's tear near the hem of the cuff
Oh my mother says ‘Son, you've been playing too rough'
But we're scientist, space rangers, lion tamers
We're digging up dinosaur bones in the mud

I said 1-1-1 more time around the playground! (run run run)
I said 2-2-2 more pushes on the swing! (swing swing)
We got 1-2-3-4 hours until sundown
I'll spend it in my favorite blue jeans

Way-o-way-oh-oh-oh!
In my blue blue jeans
Way-o-way-oh-oh-oh!
In my blue blue jeans
Way-o-way-oh-oh-oh!
In my blue blue jeans
Way-o-way-oh-oh-oh!
In my blue blue jeans
Way-o-way-oh-oh-oh!
Way-o-way-oh-oh-oh!

If This Year Was A Book

If this year was a book
Then how would it look
Are there 52 chapters
Or one for each month
365 pages to read
Is your face on the back of the jacket
Let’s see

And would you dedicate it
To the people you know
A pop pulp novella
Or a weightier tome  
I wonder wonder wonder
How it’d look
If you where the author
And this year was a book 

If this year was a book
Then how would it read
Is it action-adventure
Or a character study
Does the type setting change
With the sun or the rain
Does it start nice and slow
Or take off like a train 

Is it all fancy phrases
Or colloquial speak
Will you skip ahead
And read up on what happens next week
To see which winding winding road you took 

If you where the author
And this year was a book 

30 days has September
April June and November
All the rest have 31
‘Cept February's missing some  

If this year was a book
Then how would it end
Would you make lots of money
Will you meet a new friend
The exposition's sad enough for January
And the twist of the plot
Will likely rise in the spring. 

The summer time will be the most dramatic of all
And the autumn helps us fall into the sweet denouement
Will you finally let your readers off the hook
If you were the author
And this year was a book

Decision Decision

decision decision i made a decision
the course is corrected  we're on a collision
with destiny, you will see, stay with me, stay with me
we're changing everything
decision decision i made a decision
it came all at once in a singular vision
like light shooting right through the heart of a prism
colors change everything
(whoa oh oh oh)
i hear a thousand cheering voices
(hey! hey! hey!)
(whoa oh oh oh)
raising up from a city full of noisy noises
(whoa oh oh oh)
if you had a million different choices
what would you pick if you could have everything
we are changing everything
we are changing everything
we're changing everything, love changes everything
decision decision i made a decision
to throw out the rule but to sell supervision
we're fused to the hip with some nuclear fission
oh love changes everything
decision decision you made a decision
a near milliseconds within pinpoint precision
your lips meet my lips in a perfect position
this kiss changes everything
(whoa oh oh oh)
i hear a thousand cheering voices
(hey! hey! hey!)
(whoa oh oh oh)
raising up from a city full of noisy noises
(whoa oh oh oh)
well you had a hundred different choices
well look what you done, this kiss changes everything
we are changing everything
we are changing everything
wait this changes everything!
decision decision, decision decision whoa oh!
we're changing, we're changing everything
decision decision, decision decision whoa oh!
we're changing, we're changing everything
decision decision, decision decision whoa oh!
we're changing everything everything
everything under the, everything under the sun

Light Up The Night

Light up the night
You don't have to wait until dawn
See the bright neon glow
Of a carnival show
Flashing on and off and on
Light up the night
We'll turn the moon and the stars
Into red roman candles or pink cotton candy
That shine right thru the dark
Night, night good night
Let the sun go to bed
No no not us
We're gonna stay up instead
Bounce bounce up and down
Feel the world spinning around
(all night , all night)
Dance dance to the beat
Of my lucky drum machine
Clang clang back and forth
Moving like a tambourine
All the colors clash and collide
When we paint the town (Let's all go paint the town)
There's so much left to do when the sun goes down down
Light up the night
You don't have to wait until dawn
See the bright neon glow
Of a carnival show
Flashing on and off and on
Light up the night
We'll turn the moon and the stars
Into red roman candles or pink cotton candy
That shine right thru the dark
Glow sticks, lighting bugs
These are things at night we love
Strobe lights, lava lamps
Vacuum tubes, vintage amps
Off/On flick the switch
Let's heat up those filaments
We can rock the party all night, all right?
I love it when the needle drops
It sounds just like a soda pop
When you shake it up real good and slowly twist the plastic top
Oooh watch that record spin at 33 RPMs
Playing all my favorite songs
They are like my best friends
(There's so much left to do when the sun goes down down)
We've got time to play
(But it's dark not day)

We can still have fun
(Even without the sun?)
Let's spend the night in a house made from couch cushions
We are DJ's dressed up in our pj's
Running up the staircase
Surfing on a sine wave
Man, we've stayed up way late
Good times they fly, in the blink of an eye
I'm so awake and alive, let's light up the night
Light up the night
You don't have to wait until dawn
See the bright neon glow
Of a carnival show
Flashing on and off and on
Light up the night
We'll turn the moon and the stars
Into red roman candles or pink cotton candy
That shine right thru the dark

You'd Better Believe It

Of course you can sing
All you have to do is believe it
Wear the tune like a string
Tie it ‘round the tip of your finger
Wave it into the air
Songs are meant to be shared
With everyone here

Forget fancy words
Come on just say what you’re feeling
Like the blue whales and birds
Don’t they make it look easy
All that beauty inside you
You won’t have to hide
It’s true…

You’d better believe it
If we jump we’ll touch the sky
You’d better believe it
We don’t fall
We float or fly
At extraordinary heights
We will watch the world and smile  
And you know I wouldn’t lie
So you’d better believe it 

Feel the warmth of the sun
Heating up every rain cloud
‘Til there’s not even one
That could ruin our new paper airplane
Gonna circle and soar through every window and door
The ones that were shut are now wide open
For sure…

You’d better believe it
If we jump we’ll touch the sky
You’d better believe it
We don’t fall
We float or fly
And the stars that you can see
They are all within our reach
Pull them down and set them free
You’d better believe it
You’d better believe it

Magic

Who’s got the magic I do
Taking a quick trip to the moon
Who needs a rocket we’re not leaving the room
Who’s got the magic I do 

Who’s got the maps to the stars
Who’s can drive backwards in the car
You say you’re clever well baby you are
Who’s got the maps to the stars
(sing it) 
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah who who ooo ooo who
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Who’s got the magic? I do. 

Who’s got the whole world on a string
Who’s got the manners of a queen
Who needs a textbook when we know everything
Who’s got the whole world on a string
(sing it)
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah who who ooo ooo who
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Who’s got the magic? I do. 

Who’s got it? I’ve got it!
Who’s got it? You’ve got it! 
Who’s got it? We’ve got it!

I hear the kick drum go boom boom
You wanna dance now from midnight to noon
Who’s got the magic?I do.

Good Thing

I was rolling down the window
'Cause I like to feel the wind blow
We got a good thing
Gonna see where the day goes
Take it fast, take it real slow
We got a good thing

Hey, we got a good thing going
Hey, we got a good thing going on
Hey, we got a good thing going

Pick a boulevard and drive down
In the city, or a small town
We got a good thing
Life's a breeze not a rainstorm
So baby, open up your front door
We got a good thing

Hey, we got a good thing going
Hey, we got a good thing going on
Hey, we got a good thing going

And there ain't much I'd rather do
Then cruise around on the avenue
Give my regards to the blue sky blue
Just as long as I'm next to you

Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah

I wouldn't share the day with another
Buzzin' cause we're hummin' along
I'd pull down the clouds for you kitten
To kiss you in this curious fog

Can't you feel the wind in the willows
Blowin' makes the bed covers billow
When my happy head hits the pillow
I'll be singin' a song, I'll be singin' a song, I'll be singin' a song
We got a good thing going on

Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah
We got a good thing
Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah
We got a good thing going on
Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah
We got a good thing
Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah
We got a good thing going on

Now That I Found You

Now that I found you
There can be a singer in the band.
Now that I found you
There's a reason to be holding out my hand.

Now that I found you.

Now that I found you
All the traffic lights are going green.
Now that I found you
I've forgotten all the others that I've seen.
Now that I found you.


I used to wake early in the mornin' without warnin'
I just couldn't sleep.
(Oo, I couldn't sleep)
Starin' out the window waiting for the days crescendo
Drinkin' black coffee.
(Drinkin' black coffee)
Now that I have found you I have happily forgotten
How things used to be.
(Things used to be)
I often lay in bed 'til noon
Pouring milk and sugar into mint green iced tea
Oh gee.
(Bow bow)

Now that I found you
All the stars are magic puzzle pieces.
Now that I found you
Maybe we were missing puzzle pieces too.

Now that I found you.
Now that I found you.
Now that I found you.

Ladybug

The clouds above are great big sheep.
Some say they're lost,
but I say they're free.

No shepherd tells them what to do.
They can disappear if they want to.

And I watch you land
on the back of my hand.
You're a little red gem,
and I think that you're grand.

Ladybug hey, ladybug,
Don't you know that you're good luck?
No one ever tells you what to do, ooh.
Fly me up to Mr. Moon.
Sometimes I wish that there were two.
One to hang my dreams on,
one to rest my head on
(one to hang my dreams on
one to rest my on).
I said one to hang my dreams on,
one to rest my head upon
when you're gone.

There's a dinosaur
in my bureau drawer.
If you hush, hush, hush
you can hear him roar.
Don't tell me he's not really there
'cause I take him out when you're not here,
and we'll laugh and run
till the whole day is done.
I'm having way too much fun
with my imagination.

Ladybug hey, ladybug,
don't you know that you're good luck?
No one ever tells you who to be.
Let's fly underneath the sea
past pirate ships and a coral reef.
One to hang my dreams on,
one to rest my head on
(one to hang my dreams on,
one to rest my on).
I said one to hang my dreams on,
one to rest my head upon
when you're gone.
Ooh

Connect The Dots

If your train leaves the station
At exactly 5 o'clock
And speed remains a constant
Then this problem can be solved
I'll know just when to leave here
I'll know when I should take off
I see you in the middle when time slows to a stop
(Stop.)
We will meet like two connecting dots

We're connecting dots
Drawn together in this spot
Making pictures out of nothing
But a couple beating hearts
I'm through with being clever
Or writing rhyme to throw you off
Let's just keep it simple
1-2-3 connect the dots

Ole!

The pinholes in this black box
It's a theatre full of stars
They used to be so distant
Like a million miles apart
'Til the ancient sailors named them
Just in case their ships got tossed
So use the constellations if you think you might be getting lost
Find your way back home connect the dots

We're connecting dots
Drawn together in this spot
Making pictures out of nothing
But a couple beating hearts
I'm through with being clever
Or writing rhyme to throw you off
Let's just keep it simple
1-2-3 connect the dots

Ole!

Connect the dots
Connect the dots
Connect the dots
Connect the dots

Camera

I wish I was a camera
I would take a picture of
All the small and subtle stuff
Everything we can't give up
I'll keep my memories all intact
Of how we love and how we laugh
I wanna be a camera
I wanna be a photograph

I wish I was a photograph
Of times and places in the past
The truth is every picture's old
Taking seconds or a year ago
This way we could stay the same
Let the world around us start to change
I wish i was a photograph
Or maybe just a picture frame
A box and a pinhole set in the window to capture the path of the sun
You can hold on to lighting right when it's striking, if you keep the shutter open
Digging through the thumbnail proofs
The ones I keep are ones of you

I wish I was a picture frame
The kind that you can get engraved
One that says "I love you Jill,"
One that says, "I miss you Jane."
Now I know you won't get scratched
Underneath a pane of glass
I wanna be a picture frame
I wanna be a photograph

I wish I was a photograph
So nobody would have to ask
Who was in your high school play?
Or, What was on your wedding cake?
I could be a college crush
I could be an image of
How we live and how we love
I wish I was a camera
How we live and how we love
I wish I was a camera

Pea

It's time to wake up, but you don't need no make up
'cause you look stinkin foxy with nothing but my old led zeppelin t-shirt on
I'll be ready in a hurry, so we can hit the snooze bar and spoon together in five 9 minute increments

I think you and I were always meant to be like two birds up in a tree singing
La la la la la

I love your laughter especially when it's after you make conversation and I make
Silly rabbit noises in your ear
Movie, our loves like a movie an independent romance that wins your heart
Then also wins for best short film

I think you and I were always meant to be like a perfect melody singing
La la la la la
No one's ever made me feel so much like me now i'm a happy little pea singing
La la la la la
I think you and I were always meant to be like to birds up in a tree singing
La la la la la


You're the bass guitar and you're my steady beat we'll get the whole world on their feet
Singing la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

Recipe For Love

Mama always told me that you can't buy, can't buy love
I guess it's good advice, when times get, times get tough
you may not have a crown, but you're still a king
you may not have a diamond, but it's still a ring

i've got the recipe for making love
i've got the recipe for making love
i've got the recipe for making love
i'll show you what it's made of

We'll do it ourselves, things are better when they're home-made
think about all the money we're gonna save
it may not be perfect when it's said and done
but getting there is gonna be so much fun!

i've got the recipe for making love
i've got the recipe for making love
i've got the recipe for making love
i'll show you what it's made of

well, mama always told you that you can't buy love
guess it's good advice when times get tough
can't afford the show, but you still can sing
you may not have a gown, but your still my queen

i've got the recipe for making love
i've got the recipe for making love
i've got the recipe for making love
i'll show you what it's made of

Fall Into Love

This is how it feels
we are electric eels
goin' round like a wonder wheel
(round, round, round)

My head does somersaults
don't need that old pole vault
when you are 10 feet tall
(walk right over the wall!)

Oh that's my heart going rum pum pum
like I'm playing on an old snare drum
Just let go, look out below

Fall into love
You gotta fall into love
You gotta fall into love
You gotta fall into love
You gotta fall

Sit back and just relax
You are a tenor sax
Playin' the smoothest jazz
(We do, we do, we do)

A slingshot astronaut
No gravity to stop
You spinning, spinning like a top

Can't you hear the strings go plink plank plunk
It's like winter's gone and spring has sprung
There's no rush, don't push and shove

Fall into love
You gotta fall into love
You gotta fall into love
You gotta fall into love
You gotta fall

Floating like a feather or dropped like a stone
To an iced tea plunge into the unknown (whoa-oh)
Let the moment hit you, let it trip you up
It's okay to blush
It's okay to stumble

Can't you hear the bells go cling, clang, clung
Or the song of a new morning dove
Just let go, look out below

Fall into love
Gotta fall into love
Gotta fall into love
You gotta fall into love
You gotta fall into love
You gotta fall into love
You gotta fall into love

Sleepwalking

I'm so tired of sleepwalking through life
Where I end up, I don't know where or why
I'm sick of talking to my weary mind
I'm so tired of sleepwalking through life
After all, I can't tell if it's raining when it's pouring
After all, I can't tell if it's dawn or if it's morning
I'm so tired of learning history
Seems the more I know, the more it just repeats
Unbound my textbooks and set the pages free
I'm so tired of learning history
After all, I can't tell if it's freezing when it's snowing
After all, I can't tell if you're leaving when you're going
I'm so tired of learning history
Seems the more I learn, the more it just repeats
Still the same old song
Still the same old song, different story
Still the same old song different story
Man it gets boring, please wake me up, I've had enough
I'm so tired of sleepwalking through life
I can tell that you don't know what it's like
To rest on daydreams and walk around at night
I'm so tired of sleepwalking through life
I'm afraid to wake up
I'm afraid to wake up
I'm afraid to wake up

Life Is Sweet

day after, day after, day
guess what keeps me going
it's all the same simple things

(That) keep the flowers growing
(That) keep the roosters crowing
(That) keep the rivers flowing
A little beat, that shakes my tree
Life is Sweet
year after, year after, year
guess what keep me grinning
I throw my cares in the wind
They  keep the pinwheels spinning
gotta let some sun in
i find a beat that shakes my tree
cause Life is Sweet
go find a beat that shakes your tree
cause Life is Sweet
day after, day after, day
guess what keeps me stirring
it's all the wonderful things
that keep the planet turning
keep the engine purring
So don’t you hurry, hurry
go find a beat that sets you free
go find a beat, one that sets you free
cause Life is Sweet

Sun And Moon

The sun has finally caught up with the moon
After years of stealing glances from across an empty room
It's strange to think this cosmic chase is through
The sun has finally caught up with the moon

The sun has finally caught up with the moon
The day's a little darker,
but the night is bright and blue
How they bridge the distance no one really knows
It can happen with enough love, I suppose

The sun has finally caught up with the moon
The impossible has happened,
And it made me think of you
Oh, the miles that come between us,
how they disappear from view
The sun has finally caught up with the moon
The sun has finally caught up with the moon

La la la la la la la la la la la

Candy From A Car 2

i've got a one gear bicycle
i wanna take for a ride
i've got a one gear bicycle
i wanna take for a ride

when the weather finally clears
i wonder if you change your mind
now i've got a one gear bicycle
i wanna take for a ride

you've got a brand new chapstick
that i think tastes like grape
i've got a brand new chapstick
that you think tastes like grape

i've got a tape of old movie scenes
if you wanna escape
how come you only kiss me
when the coast is clear and safe?

said oh oh oh oh
sometimes you go too fast too far
oh oh oh
I wonder where we’ll end up
it's like throwing candy from a car

we've got a couple of years until
we have to make up our mind
we've got a couple of years until
we have to make up our mind

i still like staying up all night
and counting the fireflies
we've got so much time to kill
i'm gonna spend it how i like

oh oh oh oh
sometimes you go too fast too far
it'll be sweet  when we find the land
it's like throwing candy from a car

and i wonder if we'll scatter
like the march hare and the hatter
and the pinwheel sun is covered
as the cotton clouds they gather
and the silent day is shattered
When  you ask me if i'd rather
would you rather just throw candy from a car?
yes i'd rather just throw candy from a car
it's just like throwing candy from a car

Jellybean

I wanna sway, sway, sway,
Like the Golden Gate on a windy day
I wanna bossa nova all the way
from New York to L.A.
Jellybean, Jellybean
You're my automatic sunshine machine
Lighting up all the rocks and the trees
We'll sail all the Great Lakes
And the Seven Seas
What a beautiful world now I know it can be
Come on let's tip-tiptoe
Sneak out the big front door
Catch the midnight show
Teach me to tu-tu-tango
From San Diego to the Barbary Coast
Jellybean, Jellybean
You're my automatic sunshine machine
Lighting up all the rocks and the trees
We'll sail all the Great Lakes
And the Seven Seas
What a beautiful world now I know it can be
Rainbow colored coated candy
Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet
April showers make the flowers for honey bees
Dandelion flowers blow away in the breeze
Grab the parachute and sail away on the seed
Jellybean, Jellybean
You're my automatic sunshine machine
What a beautiful world now I know it can be
What a beautiful world now I know it can be
What a beautiful world now I know it can be
You and me, Jellybean

1-4-3

Nothing makes me wake up in the morning like you do
that's why i long to get back home when the working day is through
I know i told you a thousand times but to me it still feels new
I love you
I love you

I'm through with taking magic pills and secret potions
they only left me sick in bed
got tired of being tired of going through the motions
until you got inside my head
you have got my heart i never thought it could be true
I’ve always been a restless man who does what he wants to
I know might sound crazy but my ramblin days are through
cause I love you
I love
no one else can know each other quite the way we do
I love you
I love you
yeah I love you
I love you

Blue Sky

There's always a blue sky out there waiting for you to play under
Don't fret o'er the rain and thunder they won't stay long, you'll discover
So open a window or just run outside and see


You can breathe in the sweet air it's wonderful and free
Let's go find a rainbow bridge and take it for a ride
Pick one of the colors quick and use it as a slide
We'll play till the magic hour between daylight and dusk
The whole world is a blue sky, oh my, waiting there for us!

We'll play till the magic hour between daylight and dusk
The whole world is a blue sky, oh my, waiting there for us!

Sometimes there'll be stormclouds, STORMCLOUDS!
And with it comes the thunder
It's okay to be scared now, OH NO!
And hide underneath the covers
Peeking out of those tight shut shutters
Holding on to our fathers and mothers
As they tell us the love us, love us
And every drop of rain from up above
Helps grow the flowers we adore
So let it pour
Let it pour

Listen close to what I say
The light frightens the dark away
Just give it time and you will see the proof
(You'll see the proof)
It starts with just a ray of hope but when the curtain finally opens you will see the sun's a spotlight shining down on you
(It shines on you, it shines on you)
There's always a blue sky, blue sky
There's always a new sky, new sky
No no  I would not lie
The future is so bright
so bright

There's always a blue sky out there waiting for you to play under
Don't fret o'er the rain and thunder they won't stay long, you'll discover
So open a window or just run outside and see
(run, run, run, run)
There's always a blue sky out there waiting for you and me!
There's always a blue, blue sky! Blue sky!

Bump In The Night

When I was younger
I'd wrap my two covers
around me so very tight
made a cocoon of bed sheets
and they would protect me
from things that go bump in the night

I'd ask my father
could he check the closet
and please leave on the bathroom light
this would keep them away
hold the darkness at bay
and the things that go bump in the night

He said 'ooh there's not a ghost of a chance
I'd let any harm come to kid'
he said 'ooh I will sit right here with you'
and for years that's what he did.
You'll be alright
they're just things that go bump in the night

He said 'ooh there's not a ghost of a chance
I'd let anything whisk you away.'
He said ooh it's fine to be scared of the dark
just for now cause you won't be someday.

Turns out he was right
as the years went rolling by
I said farewell to the things
that go bump on the night
