Group Two, “Dragon’s Tears” Music by Gabriel Luce; Lyrics by Sean Hartley “Dragons Are Terrible Neighbors” ALL NEVER TRUST IN THINGS WHO FLAP THEIR WINGS WHOSE TAILS ARE COVERED WITH SCALES. BETTER RUN IN FEAR WHEN A DRAGON’S NEAR, THEY’RE FIERCE AS TIGERS AND BIGGER THAN WHALES. DRAGONS! THEIR BRAINS ARE TINY, DRAGONS! THEIR BREATH IS BRINY. DRAGONS ARE TERRIBLE NEIGHBORS. DRAGONS, THEIR BACKS ARE SPINY! DRAGONS, THEIR TEETH ARE SHINY! PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THE DRAGONS. I HEAR THEY SNACK ON PUSSY CATS. I HEAR THEY’RE COVERED WITH FLEAS. I HEAR THEY WRECK TATAMI MATS, AND SCRAPE THE BARK FROM THE CHERRY TREES! AND WHEN THEY FLY THEY WHIZ THROUGH THE SKY AND THEY SCORCH THE CLOUDS WITH THEIR FIREY BREATH AND WHEN THEY’RE DRUNK THEY’RE SMELLY AS A SKUNK AND THE FOLKS THEY FIND MEET A FIREY DEATH. IS IT TRUE THEY EAT ALMOST ANY KIND OF MEAT, AND THEIR FAVORITE STEW HAS A HUMAN OR TWO? HAS A HUMAN OR TWO? OH, WHAT WILL WE DO? WORRIED KAKO (fainting) AAAH ! ALL DRAGONS! THEIR BRAINS ARE TINY, DRAGONS! THEIR BREATH IS BRINY. DRAGONS ARE TERRIBLE NEIGHBORS. DRAGONS, THEIR BACKS ARE SPINY! DRAGONS, THEIR TEETH ARE SHINY! PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THE DRAGONS. “Dragon Games” RAAH! WE SOAR, WE SING, WE TAKE TO THE WING-- AND PLAY OUR DRAGON GAMES, DRAGON GAMES, WE PLAY OUR DRAGON GAMES! WE FLY, AND SING, AND LAUGH, AND PLAY OUR DRAGON GAMES. DRAGON GAMES, WE PLAY OUR DRAGON GAMES. WE RUN, AND SWIM, AND EAT, AND PLAY OUR DRAGON GAMES! “Humans Are Terrible Neighbors” ICHIKO WHEN A DRAGON’S IN A FOREST, SHE SEES THE WIND IN THE TREES BOSSY JIRO WHEN A HUMAN’S IN A FOREST, SHE’LL HUNT ALL THE ANIMALS AND CHOP DOWN ALL THE BRANCHES AND MAKE SUCH A MESS THAT YOUR BLOOD COULD FREEZE!

DRAGONS WE’LL STAY AWAY FROM THE HUMANS WHEN A DRAGON’S IN A VALLEY SHE’LL DREAM BY A LOVELY STREAM WHEN A HUMAN’S IN A VALLEY SHE’LL DAM UP THE RIVER AND BUILD A LOT OF BUILDINGS AND MAKE SO MUCH NOISE THAT YOU WANT TO SCREAM! FANCY MAI THEY NEVER WEAR THE LATEST TRENDS, THEY HAVE NO SENSE OF STYLE! MOM AND POP HOW CAN THEY MAKE ANY FRIENDS, WHEN THEIR SMELL IS NOTHING SHORT OF VILE? DRAGONS HUMANS – THEY’RE ALWAYS NEEDY HUMANS – THEY’RE ALWAYS GREEDY HUMANS ARE TERRIBLE NEIGHBORS HUMANS – WATCH HOW YOU TREAT THEM HUMANS – YOU CAN’T DEFEAT THEM WE’LL STAY AWAY WE’LL STAY AWAY WE’LL STAY AWAY FROM THE HUMANS “Treasure Them All” THERE ARE MANY KINDS OF BIRDS MANY KINDS OF BEES MANY KINDS OF FLOWERS MANY KINDS OF TREES MANY KINDS OF FISH SWIMMING IN THE SEAS – TREASURE THEM ALL TREASURE THEM ALL THERE ARE MANY KINDS OF EYES NOSES EARS AND HAIR MANY KINDS OF INSECTS FLYING IN THE AIR MANY KINDS OF REATURES EVERYWHERE TREASURE THEM ALL TREASURE THEM ALL DON’T BE AFRAID OF SOMETHING NEW EVEN IF YOU DON’T WHAT TO DO SOMEONE ELSE MAY BE FRIGHTENED TOO AND IF YOU TRY YOU’LL COMPREHEND SO MANY WAYS TO FIND A FRIEND AND MANY KINDS OF CLOUDS WAY UP IN THE SKY MANY KINDS OF TREATS THERE FOR YOU TO TRY MANY KINDS OF WONDERS PASSING BY TREASURE THEM ALL TREASURE THEM ALL HOLD THEM TO YOUR HEART AND TREASURE THEM ALL Group Three, “Bachicko and the Ungrateful Dumpling” Music and Lyrics by Sean Mahoney “Funny Little Girl” BA KA NA KO NE BA KA NA KO NE BA KA NA KO NE BACHIKO BA KA NA KO NE BA KA NA KO NE BA KA NA KO NE BACHIKO THERE SHE IS JUST A FUNNY LITTLE GIRL LIVING IN JAPAN DOING HER BEST JUST TO MAKE HER DUMPLINGS MAKING THEM FAST AS SHE CAN SHE IS SO FUNNY, SHE IS SO NICE FUMBLING TO MAKE HER DUMPLINGS WITH RICE LAUGHING AND DANCING, ON THE GO TEE-HEE-HEE-HEE-HEE GO-GO-GO-BACHIKO!
