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 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

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

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 01:20
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

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

about

For a few years now, I've known that I had at least one album's worth of kids songs floating around in my head. When I wrote "The Kangaroos Are Sleeping" in July of 2020, I realized I had the start of something...

However, one song is not an album!

As I began recording my Twilight Songs project, I had plenty of material to choose from - I had been writing songs for over 25 years. Suddenly though, in the middle of recording one album, I found myself unable to stop writing new material - the kids album.

While the pace and logistics of recording one album, while writing and recording a second album at the same time led to some very late nights, the energy flowing from these new songs filled my heart with joy!

And, since my return to the music world, that is my main focus and goal these days - spreading joy and healing.

If you are already a fan of my music, you will find that the nine songs on the You and Me album remain true to my unique brand of songwriting. If you are new to my music - well, welcome aboard! There's lots more on the way!!
