Baby, baby anteater
Baby, baby anteaterYour nose and tail so long and pointy
Your feet look like a panda bear
I love you and everything you do
you make me want to take a thousand trips to the zoo
(and I will, too!)Baby, baby anteater
Baby, baby anteaterRiding around on your mama’s back
She’s running around and you just sleep right though
Clutched on tight, you’re such a funny sight
Maybe you jump off and run around and night
(well that’s something I’d like to see)Baby, baby anteater
Baby, baby anteaterWhen I see the anteater, she makes me smile and laugh
Now that there’s a baby one, it’s better than a baby giraffe
(and they’re pretty cute)Baby, baby anteater
Baby, baby anteater, baby -
There’s a lot of detours along the road
But you gotta say beep beep
And drive on throughBe nice and wave and stop at the signs
But don’t be shy, pass those detours on byCause there’s a lot of detours along the road
But you gotta say beep beep
And drive on throughObey the traffic laws and look both ways
But once you know where you’re going
It’s gonna be okayCause there’s a lot of detours along the road
But you gotta say beep beep
And drive on throughYou can stop and smell the flowers
You can pitch your tent overnight
You can make a pitstop anywhere
But keep following your own lightThere’s a lot of detours along the the road
But you gotta say beep beep!

Somewhere between I can’t and I want to
There’s a place I like to go
It’s a shaky, crazy, wild place I know
But in the eye of that tornadoIs a sweet little quiet spot with birdies that are singing
And I’m soaking up the sun’s rays, and the school bell’s never ringing
And I’m where I want to be
The eye of the tornado is the place for meGetting to the top of the mountain
Seems like a long, long way to go
And that tiring trek can take forever I know
But in the eye of that tornadoIs a gentle place to rest with the friends that I like best
And we’re having tea and cakes
Watching boats sail on the lake
And I’m where I want to be
The eye of the tornado is the place for meEverything can seem too much almost all of the time
I’m overwhelmed and need to know what’s mine
But always in the middle there’s some calm that I can find
The swirling wind just points the way to the peace inside my mindSomewhere between I can and I’m trying
There’s a perfect middle ground
It’s a tough place to settle down I know
But in the eye of that tornadoIs a sweet little quiet spot with birdies that are singing
And I’m soaking up the sun’s rays, and the school bell’s never ringing
And I’m where I want to be
The eye of the tornado is the place for me

I had a rooster and the rooster pleased me
Fed my rooster on the green berry tree
The little rooster went cock-a-doodle-doo
Dee doodlee doodlee doodlee dooI had a dog and the dog pleased me
Fed my dog on the green berry tree
The little doggie went woof, woof woof
The little rooster went cock-a-doodle-doo
dee doodlee doodlee doodlee dooI had a cat (meow, meow, meow)
I had a birdie (whistle!)
The little rooster went cock-a-doodle doo
Dee doodlee doodlee doodlee doo!

I love the rain (plip plop)

I love the way it slides on down my windowpane
I love the rain (plip plop)

And the way it makes the world go roundI love the wind (woosh woosh)

The itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout
Down came the rain and washed the spider out
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain
And the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout againThe teeny tiny mouse went running along the floor
Out came the cat and chased him out the door
In came the mom and locked the cat outside
So the teeny tiny mouse came running back insideThe funny little monkey was swinging on a tree
Out came a tiger and roared so scarily
The monkey threw a coconut and bopped the tiger’s head
And the funny little monkey went up the tree againThe big fat hippo was wading in the lake
Stepped in some mud and came upon a snake
The snake said hiss and slithered on by
And the big fat hippo was left high and dryThe busy little bumblebee was buzzing on a flower
Out came the spider with his web-spinning power
He tried to catch the bee, but the bee got away
And the busy little bumblebee went on his merry wayThe itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout
Down came the rain and washed the spider out
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain
And the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again -
Like a spinning top
Like a spinning top
I’m going round and round like a spinning top
I know I’m getting ready to drop
At some point I just gotta stop
But for now I’m spinning around like a spinning top
Let’s spin!Like a jumping bean
Like a jumping bean
Man it’s such a crazy scene
Jumping til my face turns green
The jumpingest bean you’ve ever seen
I’m jumping up and down like a jumping bean
Let’s jump!Like a wiggly worm
Like a wiggly worm
All along the ground I squirm
Digging up the earth so firm
I’m wiggling for the short & long term
But for now I’m wiggling around like a wiggly worm
Let’s wiggle!Like a butterfly
Like a butterfly
Flying through the bright blue skySpreading out my wings so wide
Try to catch me flying by I’m flying through the sky like a butterfly
Let’s fly!Like a spinning top
Like a jumping bean
Like a wiggly worm
Like a butterfly -
Mommy can I have just one more cupcake
Mommy can I have one please?
Mommy they look so sweet and yummy
I’m begging on my bended, band-aid kneesOne more, one more, one more - please!
Mommy can I stay just five more minutes
We’re having so much fun
This playdate can’t really be over
Even though the other mom looks totally doneFive more, five more, five more – please!
Mommy can I have just one piece of candy
Mommy can I have one please?
I know it makes me crazy like a lunatic
but I sure do love my sweetsOne more, one more, one more – please!
Well it’s never enough, no it’s never enough for me
No it’s never enough, it’s never enough, it’s never enough for meMom can I stay up just five more minutes
I’m not tired in the least
I could stay up all night til the morning light
But I’ll settle for just five more minutes pleaseFive more, five more, five more – please!
Four more, four more, four more – please!
Three more, two more, one more – please!
One more, one more, one more – please!

Let’s reach for the sky
Let’s reach for the ground
Bend from side to side
And all around
Let’s give ourselves a hug
And bend at the knees
Let’s grow like a flower as tall as the trees
Let’s clap our hands, and stomp our feet
And give a little shout
Now we can start our music time
Let’s rock out! -
Three tulips grow side by side
One tall one small
One full and wideThree tulips are the best of friends
One red, one blue
One yellow-hueThree tulips feel the frost arrive
They drop, they hide
They know how to surviveThree tulips feel the spring return
They burst up smiling
One tall one small
One sky high and climbing…. -
World of Wonder
A drop of water may contain
A multitude of miniscule
Fragments of the drop of water
Splashing round inside
The multitude of miniscule
Fragments of the drop of water
Contained thereinA grain of sand may contain
A thousand sparkling bits of glass
Reflecting all the light contained
Within the thousand sparkling bits of glass
Inside a tiny grain of sandA nebula may contain
A million stars exploding
In a gaseous cloud of colors
A billion light years from the nebula
That contains a million stars explodingThe fingernail may contain
The secret to existence
In its cracked and dirty surface
In its simple mundane shell
That we nibble, gnaw and clip awayThe world of wonder is fleeting
Get a good look while you can
Hold a mirror up to a mirror and
See the infinite stretch out before you
It’s easy if you try
The world of wonder is right before your eyes
