Pizza For Breakfast
Pizza in the morning and a little ice cream
When I go to sleep at night, that’s what I dream
It’s gooey, it’s great, it’s my favorite treat
There’s nothing on earth that I’d rather eat
Cookies and candy aren’t so bad
But nothing makes me half as glad
As a hot, fresh, pizza-morning, noon and night
When I eat pizza everything’s alright
Pizza in the morning and a little ice cream
When I go to sleep at night, that’s what I dream
Pepperoni and onions, mushrooms and tomatoes
So much better than steak and potatoes
Thick crust, thin crust it’s all pretty great
I’d rather eat pizza than birthday cake
Pizza in the morning and a little ice cream
When I go to sleep at night, that’s what I dream
Last night I had the strangest dream
I was surfing on a cloud of pizza
When I looked up, I saw pizza
When I looked down I saw pizza
When I looked around I saw pizza
I’d rather eat pizza than walk on the moon
I’d rather eat pizza than clean my room

Don't Waste Stuff

Don’t Waste Stuff
Kids are always saying, tell me Mister G
What advice can you give to me?
I tell those kids have fun, climb trees
And I sing a little song that my Mama sang to me
Don’t waste stuff, not time not money
Don’t waste jokes, especially if they’re funny
Don’t waste laughter, don’t waste love
Whatever you do, don’t waste stuff
Don’t put the cat in a hot bubble bath
Don’t forget to brush, and to do your math
Don’t grow old without traveling around
It’s a big, wide world outside of your town
Don’t waste stuff, not paper not plastic
Turn out the lights, thanks that’s fantastic
A little every day is really quite enough
Whatever you do, don’t waste stuff
Don’t eat your cake, before you eat your peas
Don’t forget to say thanks, and to say please
Don’t go swimming with your snowshoes on
Don‘t throw a party on your neighbor’s lawn
Don’t waste stuff, not water not gas
Ride your bike or take the bus, it’ll be a blast
Eat all your veggies and your marshmallow fluff
Whatever you do, don’t waste stuff
We’re running out of oil, we’re running out of time
And we can’t run back to the starting line
So we’ll start where we are, that is good enough
It’s a beautiful day when we don’t waste stuff
Watch the problems melt away when we don’t waste stuff
Hip hip hooray we don’t waste stuff

Run
What is that hiding there in the trunk?
Oh me oh my oh, it’s a skunk!
His teeth are sharp and shiny too
He lifts his tail up, what should you do?
You should
Run!
Whose teeth are those with that huge smile?
Oh me oh my oh it’s a crocodile
His teeth are sharp and shiny too
He starts to yawn, what should you do?
You should
Run!
Who is that lady with bright red shoes
Oh me oh my oh it’s Mrs. Kangaroo?
She jumps so far, she jumps so high
She’s coming down now from in the sky
You better
Run!
Last day of school, just had last class
Smell those rose bushes and the fresh cut grass
Stretch out your legs, kick off your shoes
It’s summertime what should you do?
You should
Run!

Bath
You’ve heard it from your Mom
You’ve heard if from your Dad
And every time you hear it
It makes you really mad
You’ve got to take a bath
You’ve got to take a bath
Whether you’re the Queen of England
Or a boy named Brad
You’ve got to take a bath
The water starts to run
You know what happens next
It’s worse than a pop quiz
Or any kind of test Chorus
You’ve got to take a bath
You’ve got to take a bath
Whether you’re the King of Spain
Or a girl named Kath
You’ve got to take a bath
You love your stinky smell
You love your dirty dirt
Don’t want to take your socks off
You’re gonna wear shirt into the bath
Wear your shirt into the bath
You’re gonna keep your pants on
As you step into the tub
You’re gonna pull your hat down
While they scrub and rub a dub
You’re gonna have some fun if they
Make you take bath

Sneaky Chihuahua

Sneaky Chihuahua
She’s a sneaky Chihuahua,
She looks just like her Mama
Soft fur and brown eyes
She loves telling lies
She’s a sneaky Chihuahua
When no one is looking
She goes to see what is cooking
Chocolate cake on her tongue
It’s yum yum yum yum
Such a sneaky Chihuahua
She likes to chase cars and she loves to steal bones
She likes to dig holes, tell secrets on the phone
She likes to do whatever she’s not supposed to do
When you least expect it she sneaks right up on you
She thinks that’s it's funny
To paint stripes on the bunny
In her doggy dreams
She plots and she schemes
Such a sneaky Chihuahua
She likes to go out sniffing in the middle of the night
She loves to bark and snarl, and give the cats a fright
But her favorite thing of all is tip-toeing around
Causing lots of trouble, tearing up the town
She wags her tail kind of funny
While she’s snatching your money
Goodness me, goodness grief
She’s a four-footed thief
She’s a sneaky Chihuahua

Pony with a Problem
This song’s about a pony with a problem
He doesn’t like kids who pull on his mane
He doesn’t like kids, he thinks they’re a pain
This song’s about a pony with a problem
He can’t stand grass he doesn’t like the sun
He doesn’t like kids who like to have fun
This song’s about a pony with a problem
There’s a terrible secret that nobody knows
A terrible secret in one of his toes
In his back left hoof there’s a sharp little splinter
It’s been driving him crazy, it’s been there since last winter
So he snorts and he stomps and he kicks up lots of dust
Though no one understands why he makes such a fuss
He doesn’t like hay he doesn’t like oats
All he wants is eggs and toast
This song’s about a pony with a problem
He wants to go to Spain, he wants to go to France
He wants to sing and dance in his underpants
This song’s about a pony with a problem
One sunny spring day in the middle of May
A field mouse named Marvin was making his way
He wore black plastic glasses to help him to see
And when he saw the splinter, he thought it was cheese
He ate spinter-cheese, he ate it with glee
And our friend the pony was finally free
This song’s about a pony without a problem
He loves when kids shout and pull on his mane
He says, “that was fun, please do it again”
This song’s about a pony with no problems

Luckiest Kid in the World
Lying on the beach on a summer day
Bright blue sky, all the clouds have gone away
Digging down deep into the hot, white sand
Swimming in the ocean and getting sun tanned
Then dancing in the evening to a steel pan band
I’m the luckiest kid in the world
Climbing up a mountain on a crisp fall day
The leaves are red and orange, the sky is gray
Hot apple cider makes my tummy feel good
Picking up acorns, collecting firewood
Dashing in the forest just like Robin Hood
I’m the luckiest kid in the world
Sledding in the winter through the birch bark trees
Cold fingers, cold toes, hot chocolate please!
It’s silent outside when the snow is falling down
The world has turned to white, my boots make crunchy sounds
Tomorrow is a snowday, all my friends will be around
I’m the luckiest kid in the world
Spring has busted out, the buds are coming back
Flowers gonna bloom, ducks gonna quack
Nighttime in the forest, and the peepers peep
Baby birds start to fly, baby sheep start to bleat
Go out and get outside as the seasons unfurl
You could be the luckiest kid in the world

Mister Chubby Pants
Mr. Chubby Pants was a big bullfrog
Bigger than a big bulldog
He lived in a pond in the middle of the woods
With a beaver named Betty and a lizard named Lou
One day Chubby said to Betty and Lou
“I think I’m going crazy, I’m not sure what to do
The water that we swim in, the water that we drink
It tastes kind of gross, in fact it stinks”
Chubby looked at Betty, Betty looked at Lou
Lou looked at Chubby and said, “here’s what we’ll do
We’ll learn about science, we’ll learn about pollution
We’ll put our heads together and come up with a solution
We’ll reuse and recycle, we won’t waste stuff
We’ll put up solar panels and if that’s not enough
We’ll write long letters to the politicians
We’ll tell them our story, and they better listen”
There’s no time to dawdle, there’s no time to waste
There’s a big job to do and we’ve got to make haste
For the fish in the ponds, for the birds in the air
We gotta clean up the planet for our friends everywhere
From the tiniest creatures that you can’t even see
To the highest mountains and the tallest trees
We’re all connected everyone, everything
So take a big breath, open wide and sing

Dogs Don’t Fly and Cats Don’t Bark
There’s a story I heard in the park
Dogs don’t fly and cats don’t bark
There’s a story I heard in the park
Dogs don’t fly and cats don’t bark
Dogs don’t fly and cats don’t bark
That’s a story I heard in the park
Woke up this morning and what did I see
A crocodile sleeping in a tree
Woke up this morning and what did I see
A crocodile sleeping in a tree
A crocodile sleeping in a tree
Woke up this morning and what did I see
Now I don’t mean to brag and boast
But I know a bear who eats french toast
Now I don’t mean to brag and boast
But I know a bear who eats french toast
Now I don’t want to brag and I don’t want to boast
I know a bear who eats french toast
There’s a snake whose name is Jake
Jake’s favorite food is birthday cake
Chocolate and chewy, all sweet and gooey
Jake eats his cake with a cow named Louie
With a cow named Louie all sweet and gooey
Jake eats his cake chocolate and chewy
There’s a story I heard in the park
Dogs don’t fly and cats don’t bark

Squirrels
How many squirrels are in the world
I asked my Mom, I asked my Dad
Nobody knows, it makes me mad
I’m looking up I’m looking down
I’m counting squirrels all over town
And I won’t stop until I’m done
Until I’ve counted every one
How many squirrels are in the world
I asked my teacher, asked Mister G
Nobody knows, it’s up to me
I see three in the oak tree
I see four by my front door
Could that be eight along the gate
I see thirteen behind the screen
How many squirrels are in the world?
How many squirrels are in the world?
I’m looking high, I’m looking low
I’ll tell you about a squirrel I know
The squirrel I know, her name is Sue
She hops up and down like a kangaroo
She climbs up trees around my house
Sue’s best friend is Ted the Mouse
She’s got some acorns in her cheeks
She’s got so many that she can’t speak
So she just squeaks and runs around
Those silly squirrels are like gray clowns
How many squirrels are in the world
I’m counting squirrels everywhere I go
And someday soon I’m gonnna know
How many squirrels are in the world

Buster
He’s got a four paws, he’s got a wet nose
He’s so furry he doesn’t need clothes
I’m talking about my dog Buster
Buster was born on the fourth of July
He likes ice cream, he loves apple pie
I’m talking about my dog Buster
And he’s sweet, and he’s fun
He wags his tail and sleeps in the sun
And he barks, and he digs
Rolling in the mud, rolling with the pigs
He’s got some friends who live down the road
A cat named Chicken, and a cow named Joe
I’m talking about my dog Buster
Jet black fur, snow white feet
Wet pink tongue, ready for treats
I’m talking about my dog Buster
And he’s fun, and he’s sweet
He wags his tail when you give him a treat
And he digs and he barks
Rolling in the mud, running through the parks
Boys best friend, you better be sure
The world is wide and we’re gonna explore
I’m talking about my dog Buster
I’m heading out with my dog Buster
I’m singing about my dog Buster

Mister Bigsby’s Brown Tuxedo
It’s hanging in the closest
Cleaned and pressed and laundered
Just a little something
From his youngest daughter
And when he slips it on
The world is brighter
And when he starts to dance
He feels a little lighter
Mister Bigsby’s Brown Tuxedo
Little Betty Bigsby
Is jumping rope at recess
Telling Tracy Tulips
About the suit she loves the best
The chocolate brown tuxedo
Made famous by her pappy
The soft and silky threads
That make him oh so snappy
Mister Bigsby’s Brown Tuxedo
He razzles and he dazzles
He shuffles and he shivers
People stop and stare
Because he gives them quivers
No can believe the sight of Mister Bigsby
Dancing on his hands while he’s playing Frisbee
Mister Bigsby’s Brown Tuxedo
So if you see a guy wearing a brown tuxedo
Do a somersault then walk right up and say hello
To that silly guy whose name is Mister Bigsby
The one who does back flips
While he’s drinking sweet tea
Mister Bigsby’s Brown Tuxedo
