Big Rock Candy Mountain
02:40
|
|||
|
One evening as the sun went down and the jungle fires were burning,
Down the trail bounced a whale and he said, "kids I'm not turning.
I'm headed for a land that's far away, beyond the crystal fountains.
So come with me, we'll go and see,
The Big Rock Candy Mountains
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
There's a land that's fair and bright,
Where the marshmallows grow on bushes
And you sleep out every night.
Where the playgrounds all are friendly
And the sun shines every day.
And the birds and the bees and the bubblegum trees,
The lemonade springs where the bluebird sings
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
No one ever needs to begs
And the bulldogs all have rubber teeth
And the hens lay soft-boiled eggs
The farmers' trees are full of fruit
And the barns are full of hay
Oh I'm bound to go where there ain't no snow
Where the rain don't fall and the wind don't blow
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
You never change your socks
And the little streams of soda pop
Come trickling down the rocks
The crocodiles have to tip THEIR hats
And the grizzly bears are kind.
There's a cocoa lake with whipped cream too
You can paddle all around it in a big canoe
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
The ice cream cake's a winner.
And you can have another piece
For breakfast, lunch and dinner.
There ain't no broken crayons,
No messy rooms to clean.
I'm bound to stay where you play all day,
Where they love the games of inventing names
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.
I'll see you all this coming fall
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.

Mister rabbit, mister rabbit
Your ears are mighty long
Yes, don't you know they were put on wrong
Every little soul's gonna shine, shine
Every little soul's gonna shine along.
Mister rabbit, mister rabbit
your nose always twitches
yes, don't you know it was put on the right.
Every little soul's gonna shine, shine
Every little soul's gonna shine along.
Mister rabbit, mister rabbit
Your tail's so tight
Yes, don't you know it was put on right
Every little soul's gonna shine, shine
Every little soul's gonna shine along.
Mister rabbit, mister rabbit
Where you been?
Down to Mr. Silveira's garden.
Every little soul's gonna shine, shine
Every little soul's gonna shine along.
Mister rabbit, mister rabbit
What do you eat?
Carrots and cabbages from me head to me feet.
Every little soul's gonna shine, shine
Every little soul's gonna shine along.
Mister rabbit, mister rabbit
Your ears are mighty long.
Yes, don't you know they were put on wrong.
Every little soul's gonna shine, shine
Every little soul's gonna shine along.

Old Groundhog
02:16
|

|
Groundhog lives way down in the hole
Groundhog lives way down in the hole
He's got to hide away from the cold
Oh, groundhog
Groundhog sleeping all winter long
Groundhog sleeping all winter long
Sleep right through the snow and the storms
Oh, groundhog
Dreams about the warm sunshine
Dreams about the warm sunshine
Chasing the bees and the butterflies
Oh, groundhog.
Oh when will the winter end?
Oh when will the winter end?
Look out the window, it's snowing again.
Oh, groundhog.
One fine day the groundhog knows.
One fine day the groundhog knows.
He wakes up 'cause spring is close.
Oh, groundhog.

Buffalo Gals
02:08
|
|||
|
As I was walking down the street
Down the street, down the street
A pretty little gal I chanced to meet,
Oh she was fair to see.
Buffalo gals won't you come out tonight
Come out tonight, come out tonight.
Buffalo gals won't you come out tonight
And dance by the light of the moon.
I stopped her and we had a talk,
Had a talk, had a talk.
Her feet took up the whole sidewalk
And left no room for me.
Buffalo gals won't you come out tonight
Come out tonight, come out tonight.
Buffalo gals won't you come out tonight
And dance by the light of the moon.
I asked her if she'd have a dance,
Have a dance, have a dance.
I thought that I might have a chance
To shake a foot with her.
Buffalo gals won't you come out tonight
Come out tonight, come out tonight.
Buffalo gals won't you come out tonight
And dance by the light of the moon.
I danced with a gal with a hole in her stockin'
And her heel kept a-knockin', and her toes kept a-rockin'
I danced with a gal with a hole in her stockin'
And we danced by the light of the moon.
Buffalo gals won't you come out tonight
Come out tonight, come out tonight.
Buffalo gals won't you come out tonight
And dance by the light of the moon.

Old Joe Clark

Old Joe Clark, he had a house
Fifteen stories high
Every story in that house
Was filled with chicken pie.
Fare thee well, Old Joe Clark
Fare thee well I say
Traveled over a thousand miles
Just to hear that banjo play.
I went down to Old Joe's house
Invited me to supper
Stubbed my toe on the table leg
And stuck my nose in the butter
Fare thee well, Old Joe Clark
Fare thee well I say
Traveled over a thousand miles
Just to hear that banjo play.
Racoon has a bushy tail
'Possum's tail is bare
Rabbit has no tail at all
'Kept a bunch of hair
Fare thee well, Old Joe Clark
Fare thee well I say
Traveled over a thousand miles
Just to hear that banjo play.

I wish I were the sun up in the sky
Yes, I wish I were the sun up in the sky
If I were the sun up in the sky,
I'd shine on you as you pass by.
I wish I were the sun up in the sky
I wish I were the moon up over head.
Yes, I wish I were the moon up over head.
If I were the moon up over head,
I'd shine on you while you're in bed.
I wish I were the moon up over head.
I wish I were a winkin' blinkin' star.
Yes, I wish I were a winkin' blinkin' star.
If I were a winkin' blinkin' star,
I'd shine on you wherever you are.
I wish I were a winkin' blinkin' star.

Home On The Range
02:31
|

|
Oh give me a home where the buffalo roam
Where the deer and the antelope play.
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day.
Home, home on the range.
Where the deer and the antelope play.
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day.

I love the mountains
I love the rolling hills
I love the fountains
I love the daffodils
I love the fireside
When all the lights are low.
Boom-dee-ah-da, boom-dee-ah-da, boom-dee-ah-da, boom-dee-ah-da,
Boom-dee-ah-da, boom-dee-ah-da, boom-dee-ah-da, boom-dee-ah-da.

I See The Moon
02:38
|
|||
|
I see the moon and the moon sees me
Down through the leaves of the old oak tree
Please let the light that shines on me
Shine on the ones I love.
Over the mountains, over the see,
Back where my heart is longing to be.
Please let the light that shines on me
Shine on the ones I love.
Let it shine on the Sandpipers
Let it shine on the Penguins
Let it shine on the Grey Whales
Let it shine on the Prairie Dogs
Let it shine on the Rainbow Dolphins
Let it shine on the Pandas
Let it shine on the Coyotes
Let it shine on the Polar Bears
Let it shine on the teachers
Let it shine on the children
Let it shine on all of us
Let it shine on me.
