Lyrics to many (but not yet all) of the songs
I believe in Imagination
I believe , I believe in the magic of Imagination
I believe in the magic to make all your dreams come true.
I believe , I believe in the magic of Imagination
And its right there inside of you.
Make believe there are giants in the air.
Climb up a magic beanstalk and you may find one there.
Make believe there are scarecrows who can dance.
Make sure that you dance with them when you get your chance.
I believe , I believe in the magic of Imagination
I believe in the magic to make all your dreams come true.
I believe , I believe in the magic of Imagination
And its right there inside of you.
Make believe there are sailing ships that fly
Catch the one to Neverland as it goes by
Make believe there are pirates still on board
But you can make them vanish with your magic sword
I believe , I believe in the magic of Imagination
I believe in the magic to make all your dreams come true.
I believe , I believe in the magic of Imagination
And its right there inside of you.
Wally the Worm
Welcome, welcome, one and all.
Its time again let out the call
Wally! Wally! Wally the worm!
Give a little waggle. Give a little wiggle.
Give a little chuckle; give a little giggle.
Wally! Wally! Wally the worm!
Of Wallys wild and wacky ways, I could write a sonnet.
Kids dont forget to buy the stuff that has his picture on it.
There are Wally shirts, and Wally shoes,
And Wally statues for the yard.
And Mom and Dad can pay the bill with their Wally credit card.
Wally! Wally! Wally the worm!
So come on kids let out the call and watch your parents squirm.
Wally! Wally! Wally the Worm!
The Worm March
Worms worms worms worms
I like worms, I like worms
They crawl around beneath the ground
They never ever make a sound
You never know that they're around
But I like worms
I like worms, I like worms
All they ever eat is dirt;
They never even wear a shirt;
They're the perfect way for boys to flirt.
Thats why I like worms.
They're icky and ooey and slimey and gooey
And more than a little bit gross
But they're horribley terribly disgustingly yechy
And please don't get one too close
I like worms, I like worms
They 're tangle up when they're in a group
They have no bones so they always droop
Sometimes I cook them up in soup
(everyone looks at this person)
But I like worms
(Woman sings operatically)
I like wo-or-or-or-or--or (someone holds a Gumi worm in front of her - she screeches.)
All: we like worms!
Rock-a-bye Johnny
Johnnys Mother is the leader of a Rock and Roll band.
Famous for its R & B and known throughout the land
And when the land is quiet - and you hardly hear a peep,
Folks all gather round to hear her rock her boy to sleep.
Rock Rock Rock a bye Johnny
Its time to close your eyes.
The moon is dancing with a wisp of a cloud
And the stars are whirling round in the sky.
Rock Rock Rock a bye Johnny
The hoot owl is hooting the blues
The bed bugs boogie
To the dreamland boogie woogie
And the sandman has his rock and roll shoes.
Now you might think that Johnny wouldnt go to sleep at all,
With all that noise and hub bub echoing through the hall
But the truth is that without Johnny wouldnt drift away,
And so he goes to bed each night this rock and rolling way.
Mama, don't take my toys away
Mama, dont take my toys away, oh no! (Oh No!)
Mama, dont take my toys away, oh no! (Oh No!)
I wont shake em.
I wont break em.
I begging you please Mama, please dont take em.
Mama, dont take my toys away, oh no! (oh no!)
Daddy, dont say its time for bed. Oh No! (Oh No!)
Daddy, dont say its time for bed. Oh No! (Oh No!)
Could I have some water?
Could you turn on the light?
Daddy can we please stay up all night?
Daddy, dont say its time for bed. Oh No! (Oh No!)
Mama, dont turn that TV off. Oh No! (Oh No!)
Mama, dont turn that TV off. Oh No! (Oh No!)
I like the commercials.
I like the shows.
I like the way my little brother glows.
Mama, dont turn that TV off. Oh No! (Oh No!)
Every kind of Magic
Would you like to know a secret?
I will tell you what I've found.
It takes every kind of magic
To make the world go round.
It takes the magic of the mountains,
The magic of the seas,
The magic of the smallest grass
And of the tallest trees.
It takes the magic of the woman
And of man too -
But most of, most of, most of all
It takes the magic of children just like you.
Would you like to know a secret?
I will tell you what I've found.
It takes every kind of magic
To make the world go round.
It takes the magic of the nighttime
With the stars and moon above
It take the magic of our sorrow
And the magic of our love.
It takes the magic of the music
And the magic of pretend
And it takes the magic of a good time
And the magic of a friend.
Would you like to know a secret?
I will tell you what I've found.
It takes every kind of magic
To make the world go round.
The Pirate song
Sing Yo Ho Ho for the life of a Pirate.
Its hard and its cursed through and through
Its hard work and Pain but we never complain
Cause they cut of your ears if you do.
Yo ho ho
(answer back: Yo ho ho)
Way Hey Hey
(answer back: Way Hey Hey)
And well all be pirates till our dying day
(answer back: and well all be pirates till our dying day)
Sing Yo Ho Ho for the life of a Pirate
The rewards are exceedingly small.
One day your told, youve got buckets of gold
Then you've got nothing at all.
Yo ho ho
(answer back: Yo ho ho)
Way Hey Hey
(answer back: Way Hey Hey)
And well all be pirates till our dying day
(answer back: and well all be pirates till our dying day)
Sing Yo Ho Ho for the life of a Pirate.
The food is disgusting and vile.
Some tastes like glue
Some tastes like an shoe
But we shovel it down with a smile.
Yo ho ho
(answer back: Yo ho ho)
Did you hear what we said?
(answer back: Way Hey Hey)
Well be pirates till mom says that its time for bed
(answer back: Well be pirates till mom says that its time for bed)
Centipede Dancing
If you ever get a chance to see a centipede dance you're in for quite a treat:
He's got a hundred dancing feet!
Dance Centipede dance Centipede Dance Centipede dance Centipede dance
And it's left right right right left left right you can watch him dance in day or night
Left left right right, twirl kick spin if he likes you he may ask you if you want to join in.
Left right right right heel and toe
He's got the rhythm now just sit back and watch him go.
Now he taps his cane and now he tips his hat and now he down upon his knees as if to ask "How's that?"
If you clap for him, he'll smile with a small tear in his eye.
(As he thinks about tomorrow and all the dance shoe's he must buy.)
A clown is a clown
Shakespeare is only Shakespeare but a clown is a clown
You're never sad or lonely when you've got one around
Make you fell happy even when you've been down
Shakespeare is only Shakespeare but a clown is a clown
A doctor's just a doctor
A sailor's just a sailor
A lawyer's just a lawyer
And a tailor's just a tailor
A spaceman's just a spaceman as he floats along in space
But none of them know how to get a pie in the face
So when you feel besieged by all your worry and woes
Find yourself a fella with a great big red nose
He'll make you feel silly all the way to your toes
Shakespeare's only Shakespeare well you know how it goes
A Father's just a father
A mother's just a mother
A sister's just a sister and a brother's just a brother
A neighbor's just a neighbor
And a friend is just a friend
This song is just a song and now it's come to the end
But a clown is a clown is a -----clown
No Bones
Julie Jones says she has no bones.
But I said "Not true- think of all you can do.
You can walk, run, skip, jump, tumble, swim, leap.
You can slip, slide, rock, roll, gallop, crawl and creep.
You can dance, spin, climb, fall, shake, rattle, play.
You can bob, bounce, march, stroll, stride, strut, and sway.
But if your bones didnt do their job- youd just be a blob.
Sticky fingers
I don't care if your face is mess
Or there's mud and grass stains on your pants or dress
But the thing that drives me crazy I must confess
Is ohhhh sticky fingers
Ohh sticky fingers
Is the worst of all bad luck
I don't mean to be picky but when fingers are sticky
Someone is going to get stuck
Now bobby's stuck to betty and betty's stuck to jean
And Jean is stuck to Wally, It's the weirdest thing I've ever seen
And Wally is stuck to Vernon and Vernon is stuck to Lou
And if you don't watch out some of these fingers are bound to get stuck on you
Now Lou is stuck to Doreen and Doreen is stuck to Fred
Fred is stuck to Billy Jo's foot and the back of Allison's head
And Allison is stuck to someone that she never knew before
But I bet that they'll be pretty good friends before they get out of the door
Sarah Brown is stuck to Barney and Barney's stuck to Sarah Brown
And they can't seem to go anywhere except around and round
And Allison and her new friend are stuck to Mom and Dad
Who keep telling stories about her and every friend she ever had
Pirates in the bath
The pirates have captured the bathroom!!
There's no way that I'm going in there.
I know I need a bath -but dad-
I don't think the pirates will care.
They make such terrible noises that you can't tell a belch from a laugh.
They captured my poor rubber ducky and they've threatened to cut him in half.
With a yo ho ho and a way hey hey and a rub a dub a dub
Heave away haul away, blow the man down the pirates have captured the tub.
The one with the beard and the eye patch drank up almost all the shampoo.
He said "it aint the finest rum, but I think in a pinch it will do."
They've cut down the shower curtain- to use as a sail I think.
They've hoisted the old skull and crossbones and piled gold doubloons in the sink.
With a yo ho ho and a way hey hey and a rub a dub a dub
Heave away haul away, blow the man down the pirates have captured the tub.
I can see that you don't believe me, but it's true, Dad-it really is true.
So as far as my taking a bath tonight-
I think I should skip it don't you?
With a yo ho ho and a way hey hey and a rub a dub a dub
Heave away haul away, blow the man down the pirates have captured the tub.
If I could fly
Over the rainbow and up to the stars
Dancing with Venus and wrestling with mars
Then to the moon for hot chocolate and pie
If I could fly
If you tried to find me you couldn't because
I'd be off playing cards with the wizard of OZ
The tin man the scarecrow the lion and I
If I could fly
If I could fly, I'd glide through the air
Just like Peter Pan
Without a worry and without a care
Singing catch me if you can
I'd never get lonely up there in the blue
But just to be sure I'd teach you to fly too
On wings that are made from a wish and a sigh
If I could fly
Machine Song
It goes up and down and over under round and round and in between
My this way that way back and forth cling clang zip zap zoom machine
I'd also like to mention
It's my latest great invention
I made it out of parts of broken toys
When it starts to shakin'
I'm not sure what it's makin'
i hope that it makes something besides noise.
cause its my up and down and over under round and round and in between
My this way that way back and forth cling clang zip zap zoom machine
I can't say I know but
I think maybe it's robot
That will clean my room and pick up all my clothes
It would be great, I have no doubts
If it would eat my Brussel sprouts
But I how to get it started no one knows
So when you absolutely positively think that life's a bore
Just pull your stuff together, make a thing no one has seen before
