Yes! Lyrics

Old Dan Tucker
Traditional, new lyrics by Wayne Potash

Well Old Dan Tucker was a fine old man
He washed his face in a frying pan
Combed his head with a wagon wheel
And got a toothache in his heel

(chorus)
Get out the way Old Dan Tucker
You’re too late to get your supper
Get out the way Old Dan Tucker
You’re too late to get your supper

Well Old Dan Tucker come to town
Riding on a billy goat, leading a hound
Hound dog barked and the billy goat jumped
Landed Dan Turker on an old tree stump

(repeat chorus)

Old Dan Tucker got chased by a skunk
He fell in the campfire and kicked up a chunk
A red hot coal got in his shoe
He started jumping up and down like a kangaroo

(repeat chorus)

Well Old Dan Tucker come dancing to town
Swinging his friends around and around
First to the right and then to the left
Then to the one that he loves best
(repeat chorus)

Well that Old Dan Tucker was a fine old man
He washed his face in a frying pan
Combed his head with a wagon wheel
And got a toothache in his heel
(repeat chorus)

That’s right Dan Tucker
Come on you’re in the way over here
Give us some space there Dan Tucker
(repeat chorus)

Think you’re gonna have to wait for breakfast Dan Tucker
Here I’ll give you a little snack
Come on back!

I LikeTrucks
By Wayne Potash copyright 2013

(chorus)
I like trucks
In the parking lot
I like trucks
Yeah I like 'em alot
I like trucks
When they're going fast
I even like trucks when they're out of gas

Tow truck coming to save the day
Take my broken car away
The driver says "Come on, you can ride with me!"
I'm feeling good and happy and free
(repeat chorus)

Truck in the snow with a yellow plow
Truck on the farm bringing hay to the cow
Look at that truck coming down the road
It's a big rig with a heavy load
(repeat chorus)

Garbage trucks don't smell too good
Eighteen-wheeler is hauling wood
Tractor-trailer bringing food to the store
You can heat that engine roar!
(repeat chorus)

Bold Beaver
By Wayne Potash copyright 2013

I saw a beaver
He was swimming all alone
He’s got some sticks
And he’s building a home
He’s working all day
And all night too
He’s not scared of me
And he’s sure not scared of you

He’s a bold beaver swimming in the bog
He’s a bold beaver bigger than a frog
He’s a bold beaver chewing on a log

He’s a friend to the turtles
The birds, fish, and frogs
He’s using his teeth
To cut down some logs
They float in the river
He pulls them in tow
His head’s above the water
But his body’s down low

He’s a bold beaver … Chew chew…

I watched as he worked
I watched as he swam
His tail is like a paddle
He’s building a dam
He’s stacking up those sticks
And packing them with mud
He’s swimming underwater
While the stream starts to flood

He’s a bold beaver swimming in the bog
He’s a bold beaver bigger than a frog
He’s a bold chewing on a log, Chew chew…

Allis Chalmers
By Wayne Potash copyright 2013

Allis, Allis, Allis Chambers, Allis Chambers was her name
Allis. Allis, Allis Chambers, Allis Chambers was her name

When I was a young boy living on the farm
I remember those hot summer days
We’d hitch the mower up to the tractor
And start cutting down that hay

Allis, Allis Chambers, Allis Chambers was her name
Allis, Allis Chambers, Allis Chambers was her name

We’d leave the hay out to dry for a day or two
Hoping that it wouldn’t rain
Then we’d bring out the rake and then the bailer
and we’d all go to work again

with Allis, Allis Chambers, Allis Chambers was her name
Allis, Allis Chambers, Allis Chambers was her name

Then we’d hitch up the big old wagon
With the sun so hot in the sky
Everybody on the farm pitched in
We’d stack those bales of hay so high

with Allis, Allis Chambers, Allis Chambers was her name
Allis, Allis Chambers, Allis Chambers was her name

Allis was painted orange
She was made back in ‘54
We got her engine started with a rusty crank
We parked her by the big barn door

Allis, Allis Chambers, Allis Chambers was her name
Allis, Allis Chambers, Allis Chambers was her name
Allis, Allis Chambers, Allis Chambers was her name
Allis, Allis Chambers, Allis Chambers was her name


Sleep In a Tent
By Wayne Potash copyright 2013

When I get tired of cars and telephones
I want to be someplace where we can be alone
Close to nature where there’s no electricity
A feeling gets inside that kind of sets me free

(chorus)
We’re gonna sleep in a tent tonight
And we’ll eat by the campfire light
We’re gonna sing with our old guitars
And we’ll dream underneath the stars

We can hike in mountains or paddle a canoe
When skies are cloudy and when those skies are blue
Sometimes the rain comes down and washes our plans away
But when the sun comes out again it brightens up our day
(repeat chorus)

Sitting around the campfire listening to the sounds
Picking up a marshmallow that fell on the ground
Spear a new one with a stick and roast it ‘till it’s brown
Make s’mores with graham crackers and a chocolate bar from town
(repeat chorus)


Seven Nights To Rock
by Louis Innis, Buck Trail
new lyrics by Wayne Potash

(chorus)
We got seven days to Rock
We got seven nights to roll
Seven days we’re gonna have some fun
7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
We got seven days to Rock
We got seven nights to roll

Monday we’re gonna go to school
Tuesday we’re gonna swim at the pool
Wednsday go to the library
Thursday be with my family
Friday play in the big sandbox
Saturday and Sunday everybody rocks
(repeat chorus)

Monday we’re gonna go to the show
Tuesday we’re gonna play in the snow
Wednesday we’re gonna go to the zoo
Thursday we’ll have some ice cream too
Friday we can stay up late
Saturday and Sunday I can’t wait
(repeat chorus)


Flying In An Airplane
By Wayne Potash copyright 2013

Rolling down the runway
We’re going for a ride
Lifting off the pavement
And heading for the sky
Through the open windows
The engines are so loud
High above the water
Watching shadows from the clouds

Flying in an airplane
High above the ground
Flying in an airplane
Propellers going around
Flying in an airplane
Look out down below
We are flying through
A rainbow

We almost touch the tree tops
And hear the engines slow
Heading through the mountains
We’re flying pretty low
The ride is getting bumpy
But the landing strip’s in sight
Touchdown at the airport
We had a perfect flight

Flying in an airplane
High above the ground
Flying in an airplane
Propellers going around
Flying in an airplane
Look out down below
We are flying through…
Flying in an airplane
High above the ground
Flying in an airplane
Propellers going around
Flying in an airplane
Look out down below
We are flying through
A rainbow

Rock Island Line
Traditional

Oh the Rock Island Line is a mighty good road
The Rock Island Line it is the road to ride
Oh the Rock Island Line is a mighty good road
If you wanna ride you gotta ride it like you find it
Get your ticket at the station on the Rock Island Line

Well I may be right, I may be wrong
But you’re gonna miss me when I’m gone

Oh the Rock Island Line is a mighty good road
The Rock Island Line it is the road to ride
Oh the Rock Island Line is a mighty good road
If you wanna ride you gotta ride it like you find it
Get your ticket at the station on the Rock Island Line

A, B, C, double X, Y, Z
The cat’s in the cupboard but you can’t see me

Oh the Rock Island Line is a mighty good road
The Rock Island Line it is the road to ride
Oh the Rock Island Line is a mighty good road
If you wanna ride you gotta ride it like you find it
Get your ticket at the station on the Rock Island Line

Underneath It Is Me (I’m Gonna Put a Costume On)
By Lucy Joan Sollogub copyright 2013

(chorus)
I'm gonna put a costume on
And I'm gonna be silly
I'm gonna put a costume on
But underneath it is me
I'm gonna put a costume on
I'm gonna be silly
I'm gonna put a costume on
But underneath it is me

Maybe I'll be a lion
Maybe I'll be a bee
Maybe I'll be a firefighter
But underneath it is me
(repeat chorus)

Maybe I'll be a robot
Or a sailor out at sea
Maybe I'll be a super hero
But underneath it is me
(repeat chorus)

Maybe I'll be a mermaid
Maybe I'll be a queen
Maybe I'll be a fairy princess
But underneath it is me
(repeat chorus)

Underneath it is me
Underneath it is me
But underneath it is me

I Wanna Be Green
By Wayne Potash copyright 2013

The last two elephants in the world
Were walking through the sand
The lake’s dried up, no chance of rain
And they don’t understand
(chorus)
I wanna be green
I wanna be green, green, green
I wanna be green
I wanna be green, green, green


Every year animals move up the mountain
I wonder why they don’t stop
In a warmer world it’s cooler up there
But what will happen when they reach the top?
(repeat chorus)

One little frog was at the lake
Singing to all his friends
But this year he’s the only one left
And that’s how the story ends
(repeat chorus two times)

Dogs In Outer Space
By Wayne Potash copyright 2013

One dog’s name is Fido
The other’s name is Spot
One dog is American
The other’s a cosmonaut

(chorus)
Dogs in outer space
Trying to save the human race
Dogs in outer space
Woof woof, bow wow, woof woof. bow wow

Little Johnny cried
As he looked in the sky
“Will my doggie ever come home?”
The President calls him on the phone
(repeat chorus)

T.V. cameras are turned on
See how well they get along
Computer says there’s something wrong
Communications gone, they’re on their own

The whole world held its breath
The feeling was acute
Then I heard someone scream
“It’s them, it’s them, I see the parachute!”

Heroes they were made
A ticker tape parade
The doggies barked out loud
Little Johnny smiled he was so proud
(repeat chorus)
