Sat down to write a song but all my words were gone
I looked in the closet I looked in the barn
But all I found was a yarn
I asked the sheep but I got nothing
And so I asked the cow
All she said was moo so I wrote this song for you
Moo moo moo moo moo moo moo
Moo moo moo moo moo moo moo
Sat down to write a song but all my words were gone
I looked in the closet I looked in the barn
All I found was a yarn
I asked the dog but I got nothing
And so I asked the cat
All she said was meow so I wrote this song right now
Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow
Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow
Sat down to write a song but all my words were gone
I looked in the closet I looked in the barn
All I found was a yarn
I asked the pig but I got nothing
And so I asked a pony
All she said was neigh so I wrote this song today
Neigh Neigh Neigh Neigh Neigh Neigh Neigh
Neigh Neigh Neigh Neigh Neigh Neigh Neigh
If this song makes any sense to you
Be sure to let me know
My head is full of neighs meows and moos
I should have asked the crow
I should have asked the crow

Midnight Moon

Midnight moon shining in my room
I’m looking for the wishing star
You’re shining so bright
I just can’t sleep tonight
Midnight moon shining in my room
Midnight moon shining in my room
I’m looking for the wishing star
Wishing every day
Could be just like today
Laughing and playing with my friends
Oh midnight moon is your bedtime soon
I’m gonna have a lot to do today
Playing with my friends
Days that never seem to end
Oooh Midnight moon is your bedtime soon
Midnight moon I like the shadows that you make
In my room
I can see the tree outside my window in the breeze
You’re shining so bright
Now I just can’t sleep tonight
Oh midnight moon is your bedtime soon
I’m gonna have a lot to do today
Playing with my friends
Days that never seem to end
Oooh Midnight moon is your bedtime soon
Oh midnight moon is your bedtime soon
Oh midnight moon is your bedtime soon

Crow and the raven went for a walk
It had been many years since they had talked
Full moon told them it was time
To share their stories
Raven loved the West the best
Ocean air to fly in
Crow well he was an Eastern bird
Loved to share his words
Well you and me are meant to be
Friends forever
Well you and I are meant to fly
Two birds of a feather
Raven talked about what she had seen
A rainbow and many magical things
Orcas swimming far away
Eagle fishing on the bay
Crow took these words that he had heard
And made a new song to greet the day
Though crow and raven live in different lands
They’ll always share their stories
Well you and me are meant to be
Friends forever
Well you and I are meant to fly
Two birds of a feather
Well you and me are meant to be
Friends forever
Well you and I are meant to fly
Two birds of a feather

Singing with Pictures
02:34
|

Do you like singing in the bath
Do you like doing math on a path
Do you like counting stars from the car
Coming home late from Grandma and Grandpa’s farm
Do you like jumping for joy
Do you like sharing your toys
Do you like dancing in the rain
On a warm summer’s day
Oh we’re singing with pictures c’mon give it a try
Using our imagination let’s see what we’ll find
Oh we’re singing with picture c’mon give it a try
Using our imagination let’s see what we’ll find
Do you like having the giggles
Do you like pizza with pickles
Do you like counting stars from the car
Coming home late from Grandma and Grandpa’s farm
Oh we’re singing with pictures c’mon give it a try
Using our imagination let’s see what we’ll find
Oh we’re singing with picture c’mon give it a try
Using our imagination let’s see what we’ll find
Oh we’re singing with pictures c’mon give it a try
Using our imagination let’s see what we’ll find
Oh we’re singing with picture c’mon give it a try
Using our imagination let’s see what we’ll find

Dreams are Dreaming
03:09
|

Don’t know what my dreams are dreaming but they’re having a good time
At a party with balloons and streamers eating apple pie
Riding on their bicycles without their training wheels
Playing catch with beach balls and some arctic seals
Walking on a tightrope up to outer space
Eating lots of fruit salad in their favourite place
Going to a puppet show with their dreaming friends
Then they get to hug the puppets when the show does end
Wonder where my dreams are going when the morning sun
Comes out from behind the clouds to shine on everyone
We could do some colouring with a rainbow design
Or just look for mid-day stars just to pass the time
Let’s go for a walk with your mom and dad
Or your mom and mom or your dad and dad
The world can be so beautiful if we stop to look around
You’re reaching for the stars that makes me glad
Don’t know what my dreams are dreaming but they’re having a good time
At a party with balloons and streamers eating apple pie
At a party with balloons and streamers eating apple pie

The Bananas

Mister Banana-pants
Loved Miss Banana-hat
It was such a fine romance
Oh how they loved to dance
They danced at the bunny hop
They danced on a mountain top
They danced all the way to the stars
Oh how they danced so far
Mister Banana-pants
Loved Miss Banana-hat
It was such a fine romance
Oh how they loved to dance
They danced when they felt sad
They danced when they felt glad
They danced when they felt alone
They even danced on the phone
Mister Banana-pants
Loved Miss Banana-hat
It was such a fine romance
Oh how they loved to dance
Oh how they loved to dance
Oh how they loved to dance
Oh how they loved to dance

Who Lost the Remote
02:44
|
|||
It’s one of the world’s greatest mysteries
The greatest mystery that we will ever see
You say it wasn’t you well I know it wasn’t me
And now we’re all left wondering how will we watch tv
Who lost the remote
Yeah who lost the remote
Is it under the couch again
Was it eaten by a goat
Who lost the remote
Yeah who lost the remote
Is it under the couch again
Was it eaten by a goat
By a goat
Luckily for us there’s so much else to do
We could play outside if we could find our other shoe
Or we could take a look for an adventure in a book
But that still doesn’t solve this latest mystery
Who lost the remote
Yeah who lost the remote
Is it under the couch again
Was it eaten by a goat
Who lost the remote
Yeah who lost the remote
Is it under the couch again
Was it eaten by a goat
By a goat
Maybe since it’s raining we could make a puppet show
I’ll use my crayons to make some tickets if you want to go
You say it wasn’t you Well I know it wasn’t me
I don’t think we even need to watch any more tv
Who lost the remote
Yeah who lost the remote
Is it under the couch again
Was it eaten by a goat
Who lost the remote
Yeah who lost the remote
Is it under the couch again
Was it eaten by a goat
By a goat

Well the world is a very large place
Sometimes you need somewhere to hide
Like a super-secret hideout
A place where no one can find
And if the world fell down
And I fell down right along with it
Well I might get scared
But I’ll just roll right along with it
Cause when you’re eating breakfast
The kangaroos are sleeping
Did you know when you’re eating breakfast
The kangaroos are sleeping
So wake up wake up
You sleepyhead you sleepyhead
Well I do don’t like potatoes
Sometimes I do don’t like broccoli
I’ll call you Goldilocks you call me porridge
We’ll be best buddies just you wait and see
Cause when you’re eating breakfast
The kangaroos are sleeping
Did you know when you’re eating breakfast
The kangaroos are sleeping
So wake up wake up
You sleepyhead you sleepyhead
Sometimes inspiration comes when you least expect it
I found mine when I went down to Wiggletown
I also like blue and my hair is grey
G’Day
Feeling happy today
Cause when you’re eating breakfast
The kangaroos are sleeping
Did you know when you’re eating breakfast
The kangaroos are sleeping
So wake up wake up
You sleepyhead you sleepyhead
My sleepyhead my sleepyhead

I want a pickle please
Not a tickle please
Or a popsicle please
Just a dill pickle please
I want a pickle please
Not a tickle please
Or a popsicle please
Just a dill pickle please
