A Day In The Life

Wake Up

Morning has come and the birds they are singing
It’s time to wake up
The sun it is glowing
The rooster is crowing
It’s time to wake up

Open your eyes
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
Let me see you smile

Morning has come
take a look out the window
It’s time to wake up
I hear the bugs humming
a new day is coming
It’s time to wake up

Open your eyes
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
Let me see you smile


Getting Dressed

I put my left leg in my pant leg
I put my right leg in the other pant leg
I put my arms in my shirt sleeves
And pull my head through the top

I’m getting dressed, dressed, dressed
I wanna look my best

Socks on, shoes on
Comb my hair
If it’s cold give me that sweater
And if it’s hot just leave it there

I’m getting dressed, dressed, dressed
I wanna look my best
I’m getting dressed, dressed, dressed
I wanna look my best


Eat My Breakfast

Look at that bowl
It’s full of cereal
Look at that bowl
It’s full of milk

Look at that bowl
Coming at you with a spoon
I’m gonna eat my breakfast
in the dining room


Brush My Teeth

Brush my teeth
Toothbrush in my hand
The toothpaste tastes good
When I brush my teeth

Brushing my teeth
I’m going round and round
Get the uppers and the lowers
When I brush my teeth

Brush my teeth
Don’t forget the tops
Swirl the water around
When I brush my teeth


I'm A Big Kid Now

Well I’m a big kid now
I’m going to school
All the little kids think
I’m really cool
Cause I’m a big kid now
And I’m going to school

When I get older
I’m gonna ride the bus
I won’t cry
and I won’t fuss
I’ll ride to school
on the yellow school bus


Seeing My Friends

I’m so happy
I’m gonna be seeing my friends
I’m so happy
I’m gonna be seeing my friends
Like some squirrels
Climbing up a tree
I love my friends
And they love me

Seeing my friends
Seeing my friends
Seeing my friends
Seeing my friends
Seeing my friends

We’re gonna jump up high
And we’ll pretend to fly
Like eagles in the sky
We’ll soar above the town
And we’ll come swooping down
You can see our shadows on the ground

I’m so happy
I’m gonna be seeing my friends
I’m so happy
I’m seeing my friends
Like some fish
Swimming in the sea
I love my friends
And they love me

Seeing my friends
Seeing my friends
Seeing my friends
Seeing my friends
Seeing my friends

I’m so happy
I’m gonna be seeing my friends
I’m so happy
I’m seeing my friends
Like some doggies
On the lone prairie
I love my friends
And they love me

I love my friends
And they love me
I love my friends
And they love me


Snack Time

It’s snack time
I know you’re hungry
It’s snack time
I’m hungry too

I wanna eat some crackers
I want a cookie too
I wanna eat a pickle
And I will share it with you

‘Cause it’s snack time
I know you’re hungry
It’s snack time
I’m hungry too

I wanna eat a pretzel
Maybe a banana too
I wanna eat an apple
And I will share it with you

‘Cause it’s snack time
I know you’re hungry
It’s snack time
I’m hungry too

I wanna eat some candy
I want some ice cream too
I wanna drink some apple juice
And I will share it with you

‘Cause it’s snack time
I know you’re hungry
It’s snack time
I’m hungry too

I’m Going (key of D)

I’m going to the potty
I’m going to the potty
I’m going to the potty
And then I will wash my hands

I'm An Artist

I can draw or paint
I can work with clay
Paper, popsicle sticks and glue
Make a picture out of string
A fancy crown for a king
Arts and crafts are what I like to do

I’m an artist
Making something new
I’m an artist
I like paint and glue
I’m an artist
That is what I do
I’m an artist
Here’s a picture for you


Hands Clean

Hands clean
I’m washing my hands in the water
Hands clean
I’m washing my hands with some soap


Hands clean
Now I’m drying my hands on the towel
You won’t see dirt
That’s one thing that I know

Hands clean
I’ve got my hands clean
Hands clean
I’ve got my hands clean


Clean Down

Ain’t gonna clean up no more, no more
Ain’t gonna clean up no more
Ain’t gonna clean up no more, no more
Ain’t gonna clean up no more

Gonna clean down, down, down
Gonna clean down, down, down
Gonna clean down, down, down
Down, down

Gonna clean down, down, down
Gonna clean down, down, down
Gonna clean down, down, down
Down, down


Lunch

If I were a bird
I’d eat worms for lunch
Worms for lunch
Worms for lunch
If I were a bird
I’d eat worms for lunch
Worms for lunch

If I were a worm
I’d eat dirt for lunch
Dirt for lunch
Dirt for lunch
If I were a worm
I’d eat dirt for lunch
Dirt for lunch

If I were a kid
I’d eat pizza for lunch
Pizza for lunch
Pizza for lunch
If I were a kid
I’d eat pizza for lunch
Pizza for lunch


I Wanna Take A Nap

I’m so tired I wanna take a nap
Lie down and fade away
I’m so tired I wanna take a nap
Hear the music play


All I’d Do Is Play

We’re playing together on the playground
Digging in the sandbox with a cup
We’re running all around
We’re falling on the ground
Just playing a game that we made up

If I had my way
All I’d do is play
If I had my way
I’d play, play, play, play, play

We’re playing together inside now
We came in cause it started to rain
Playing hide and seek
Count to ten and do not peek
Once you find me, we will play again

If I had my way
All I’d do is play
If I had my way
I’d play, play, play, play, play

We’re playing together on the playground
It stopped raining and out came the sun
Hey, we know how to play
We do it every day
Come on let’s see how fast you can run

If I had my way
All I’d do is play
If I had my way
I’d play, play, play, play, play


Belly Button

I don’t wanna see your belly button
Your belly button, your belly button
I don’t wanna see your belly button
So cover it up right now

I don’t wanna see your belly button
Your belly button, your belly button
I don’t wanna see your belly button
So cover it up right now

I don’t care if it’s an outie or innie
If it’s fat or if it’s skinny

Your belly button, your belly button
I don’t wanna see your belly button
So cover it up right now

I don’t wanna see your belly button
Your belly button, your belly button

So cover it up right now

When some pirates get together
They got a box that’s filled with treasure
They put it in a hole and for good measure
They cover it up right now

And I don’t wanna see your belly button
Your belly button, your belly button
I don’t wanna see your belly button
So cover it up right now

Hey, I don’t wanna see your belly button
Your belly button, your belly button
I don’t wanna see your belly button
So cover it up right now

When a doggie’s got a bone
He wants to chew it all alone
If another dog is coming along
He’ll cover it up right now

And I don’t wanna see your belly button
Your belly button, your belly button
I don’t wanna see your belly button
So cover that thing up right now

I don’t wanna see your belly button
Your belly button, your belly button
I don’t wanna see your belly button
So cover it up right now

I don’t care if it’s an outie or innie
If it’s fat or if it’s skinny
Unless you’re magic like a jinny
Please cover that thing up now

I don’t wanna see your belly button
Your belly button, your belly button
No, I don’t wanna see your belly button
So cover it up right now

So cover it up right now
Please cover it up right now
Hey cover it up right now
I want you to cover it up right now


Fingerpickin’ Boogie

(spoken)
When I play my guitar like this
It’s called fingerpickin’
And this kind of music
Is called a boogie

(sing)
Well you can dig for clams
And you can dig for gold
But you won’t find treasure
In your nose

Fingerpickin’ Boogie
Fingerpickin’ Boogie
Fingerpickin’ Boogie
Fingerpickin’ all day long

Here comes my buddy
With a bloody nose
When you fingerpick
That’s the way it goes

Fingerpickin’ Boogie
Fingerpickin’ Boogie
Fingerpickin’ Boogie
Fingerpickin’ all day long

Grab yourself a tissue
And away we’ll go
Don’t be stingy
Give your nose a blow

Fingerpickin’ Boogie
Fingerpickin’ Boogie
Fingerpickin’ Boogie
Fingerpickin’ all day long


Time To Go

Give me a big wave
‘Cause I’m Leavin’
I gotta go
But I’ll be back again

Give me a big wave
‘Cause I’m leavin’
And I’ll see you soon
My friend

Time to go
(Time to go)
Time to go
(Time to go)
I’ll see you tomorrow
Or further down the road
Time to go
(Time to go)
Time to go
(Time to go)
It’s time for me to go

Give me a big wave
‘Cause I’m Leavin’
I gotta go
But I’ll be back again

Give me a big wave
‘Cause I’m leavin’
And I’ll see you soon
My friend

Time to go
(Time to go)
Time to go
(Time to go)
I’ll see you tomorrow
Or further down the road
Time to go
(Time to go)
Time to go
(Time to go)
It’s time for me to go


Backhoes

Backhoes, backhoes
In my back yard there are two backhoes
Backhoes, backhoes
In my back yard there are two backhoes

One is muddy and the other is clean
And they dig faster than the others I’ve seen

Backhoes, backhoes
In my back yard there are two backhoes
Backhoes, backhoes
In my back yard there are two backhoes

They are so noisy can̓t they quiet down
You can hear them all over the town

Backhoes, backhoes
In my back yard there are two backhoes
Backhoes, backhoes
In my back yard there are two backhoes


One is yellow and the other is red
I’ll dream about them when I go to bed

Backhoes, backhoes
In my back yard there are two backhoes
Backhoes, backhoes
In my back yard there are two backhoes


One is plastic and the other is steel
But when I grow up I’ll have two that are real

Backhoes, backhoes
In my back yard there are two backhoes
Backhoes, backhoes
In my back yard there are two backhoes


Ready For Dinner

My brother, my sister
My mom and my dad
All here together
And I’m so glad

Ready for dinner
Ready for dinner
Take a load off your feet
Come to the table and have a seat

Dinner is gonna be ready soon
I’ve got my napkin, plate, glass,
Fork, knife and spoon

Ready for dinner
Ready for dinner
Take a load off your feet
Come to the table and have a seat

Salad, bread, pasta, vegetable stir fry
For dessert we’ll have
cupcakes, ice cream,
Cookies and pie

Ready for dinner
Ready for dinner
Take a load off your feet
Come to the table and have a seat

At the dinner table
At the dinner table
At the dinner table
At the dinner table
At the dinner table
It’s time to eat


After My Bath

Well I’m gonna smell good
After my bath

Get the water going
(I’m in my birthday suit)
Don’t make it too hot
(I’m in my birthday suit)
Time to put the bubbles in
You know last time we forgot

Well I’m gonna smell good
After my bath
Well I’m gonna smell good
After my bath
Well I’m gonna smell good
After my bath

The boats are in the harbor
(Batten down the hatches)
The winds begin to blow
(Batten down the hatches)
I see a yellow submarine
It’s coming from below

Well I’m gonna smell good
After my bath
Well I’m gonna smell good
After my bath
Well I’m gonna smell good
After my bath
So good, so good,
So good, so good, so good

The water’s getting colder
The tide is rolling down
Get my towel ready
The boats have run aground

Well I’m gonna smell good
After my bath
Well I’m gonna smell good
After my bath
Well I’m gonna smell good
After my bath
So good, so good,
So good, so good, so good


Bedtime Routine

It’s time for the bedroom routine
End of another day
It’s time for the bedroom routine
Time to put my toys away

It’s time for the bedroom routine
I’d rather stay up late instead
But it’s time for the bedroom routine
And I have to go to bed


Bedtime Story

Sitting close together feels all right
We’re gonna read a good book tonight
And before I hit the hay
This is what I’ll say
I asked my dad and mother
To please read me another

Bedtime story
Bedtime story
Won’t you please read me another
Bedtime story

Bedtime story
Bedtime story
Won’t you please read me another
Bedtime story


Cuddle Right Up

Now it’s time to say goodnight
My mommy and daddy hug me tight
Teddy Bear’s on the bed and he stays
I’m under the covers in my PJs

Cuddle right up my head’s on the pillow
Cuddle right up my head’s on the pillow
Cuddle right up my head’s on the pillow
And close your eyes

Cuddle right up my head’s on the pillow
Cuddle right up my head’s on the pillow
Cuddle right up my head’s on the pillow
And close your eyes


Bring Back My Freight Train

I had a dream last night
We were on a train
And we all were singing
When it started to rain
We pulled into the station
And we stepped outside
Got out our umbrellas
When the conductor cried

Bring back my freight train
Bring it back to me
Bring back my freight train
Bring it back to me
Please Mister Engine Driver
Won’t you bring it back to me

Bring back my freight train
Bring it back to me
Bring back my freight train
Bring it back to me
Meet you at the station in the morning
Won’t you bring it back to me

Bring back my freight train
Bring it back to me
Bring back my freight train
Bring it back to me
I’ve been up all night crying
Won’t you bring it back to me
