BABY
BUMBLEBEE

I'm bringing home a baby bumble bee
Won't my Mommy be so proud of me?
I'm bringing home a baby bumble bee...
Ouch! It stung me!
I'm squashing up my baby bumble bee
Won't my Mommy be so proud of me?
I'm squashing up my baby bumble bee...
Ew! What a mess!
I'm licking up my baby bumble bee
Won't my Mommy be so proud of me?
I'm licking up my baby bumble bee...
Ugh! I feel sick!
I'm barfing up my baby bumble bee
Won't my Mommy be so proud of me?
I'm barfing up my baby bumble bee...
Oh! Another mess!
I'm mopping up my baby bumble bee
Won't my Mommy be so proud of me?
I'm mopping up my baby bumble bee...
Mommy, aren't you proud of me?

PEANUT
BUTTER

Chorus:
Peanut, peanut butter, jelly!

Peanut, peanut butter, jelly!

First you take the peanuts and you pick 'em, you pick 'em,

Then you crush 'em, crush 'em,
You crush 'em, crush 'em, crush 'em

Then you spread 'em, spread 'em,
You spread 'em, spread 'em, spread 'em...
Then you take the berries and you pick 'em, you pick 'em,

You pick 'em, pick 'em, pick 'em
Then you crush 'em, crush 'em,
You crush 'em, crush 'em, crush 'em
Then you spread 'em, spread 'em,
You spread 'em, spread 'em, spread 'em...

Pick: pretend to pick berries

DO YOUR EARS
HANG LOW?

Do your ears hang low?
Do they wobble to and fro?
Can you tie them in a knot?
Can you tie them in a bow?
Can you throw them over your shoulder
Like a continental soldier?
Do your ears hang low?

Do your ears flip-flop?
Can you use them for a mop?
Are they stringy at the bottom?
Are they curly at the top?
Can you use them for a swatter?
Can you use them for a blotter?
Do your ears flip-flop?

Do your ears hang high?
Do they reach up to the sky?
Do they droop when they're wet?
Do they stiffen when they're dry?
Can you semaphore your neighbor
With a minimum of labor?
Do your ears hang high?

FOUND A
PEANUT

Found a peanut, found a peanut
Found a peanut just now
Just now I found a peanut
Found a peanut just now

Cracked it open, cracked it open

Cracked it open just now
Just now I cracked it open

Cracked it open just now
It was rotten ...

Ate it anyway ...
Got a stomach ache ...

Called the doctor ...

Operation ...
Died anyway...

Was a dream ...
Then I woke up ...

Found a peanut ...

THIS LAND IS
YOUR LAND

This Land is your land
this land is my land
from California
to the New York Island
from the redwood forest
to the gulf stream water
this land was made for you and me
As I went walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me that endless skyway
I saw below me that golden valley
This land is made for you and me
I roamed and rambled and followed my footsteps
O’er the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
While all around me a voice was sounding, saying
This land was made for you and me

RAINBOW
CONNECTION

Why are there so many songs about rainbows? And
what’s on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions, and rainbows
have nothing to hide.
So we’ve been told and some choose to believe it.
I know they’re wrong, wait and see.
Someday we’ll find it, the rainbow connection,
the lovers, the dreamers, and me.
Who said that every wish, would be heard and
answered, when wished on the morning star.
Somebody thought of that, and someone believed it,
look what it’s done so far.
What’s so amazing that keeps us stargazing,
and what do we think we might see?
Someday we’ll find it, the rainbow connection,
the lovers, the dreamers, and me.
All of us under it’s spell,
the lovers, the dreamers, and me.

HERE COMES
THE SUN

Here comes the sun, doo-do-doo doo
Here comes the sun and I say it’s all right

Little darling, it’s been
a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like
years since it’s been here
Here comes the sun, doo-do-doo doo
Here comes the sun and I say it’s all right
Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it’s been here
Here comes the sun, doo-do-doo doo
Here comes the sun and I say it’s all right
Sun, sun, sun here it comes…
Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it’s been clear
Here comes the sun, doo-do-doo doo
Here comes the sun, and I say it’s all right

It’s all right

A HOLE IN
THE BUCKET

There's a hole in the bucket, dear Liza, dear Liza
There's a hole in the bucket, dear Liza, a hole.
Then fix it, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry
then fix it, dear Henry, dear Henry, fix it.
With what shall I fix it, dear Liza, dear Liza
With what shall I fix it, dear Liza, with what?
With a straw, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry
With a straw, dear Henry, dear Henry,
with a straw.But the straw is too long - Then cut it,
With what shall I cut it? - With an axe
The axe is too dull - Then sharpen it
With what shall I sharpen it? - With a stone
The stone is too dry - Then wet it
With what shall I wet it? - With water
How shall I get it? - In the bucket
There’s a hole in the bucket.

ON TOP OF
SPAGHETTI

On top of spaghetti, all covered in cheese
I lost my poor meatball, when somebody sneezed.

It rolled off the table, and onto the floor
And then my poor meatball, it rolled out the door.

It rolled down the gutter, and under a bush
And now my poor meatball, is nothing but mush.

The rains came and soaked it, as wet as can be
And early next summer it grew to a tree.

The tree was all covered with beautiful moss
It grew lovely meatballs all covered in sauce.

If you eat spaghetti, all covered in cheese
Hang on to your meatball and don't ever sneeze!
