Slow down, you move too fast. All I really need is a song in my heart, You got to make the morning last. Food in my belly and love in my family. Just kicking down the cobble stones. All I really need is a song in my heart, Looking for fun and feelin' groovy. And love in my family. Love in my family. Ba da, Ba da, Ba da, Ba da...Feelin' Groovy. Love in my family. Hello lamp-post, What cha knowin'? All Through the Night I've come to watch your flowers growin'. Sleep, my child, and peace attend thee, Ain't cha got no rhymes for me? All through the night; Doot-in' doo-doo, Guardian angels God will send thee, Feelin' groovy. All through the night; Ba da, Ba da, Ba da, Ba da...Feelin' Groovy. Soft the drowsy hours are creeping, Hill and vale in slumber sleeping, I've got no deeds to do, I my loving vigil keeping, No promises to keep. All through the night. I'm dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep. Let the morning time drop all its petals on me. While the moon her watch is keeping, Life, I love you, All through the night; All is groovy. While the weary world is sleeping, All through the night; O'er thy spirit gently stealing, All I Really Need Visions of delight revealing, By Rafﬁ Breathes a pure and holy feeling, G (capo 7) All through the night. All I really need is a song in my heart, Food in my belly and love in my family. The Alphabet Song All I really need is a song in my heart, by Johnny Bregar And love in my family. E Well, the alphabet has all the letters you need, And I need the rain to fall, So you can understand all the books you read. And I need the sun to shine. Everybody knows it near and far, To give life to the seeds we sow, And now you got to learn it, it’s not that hard. To give the food we need to grow. It’s the alphabet, come on and sing it with me. All I really need is a song in my heart, Here’s how it goes now: And love in my family. ABCDEFG, HIJK, LMNOP, QRSTUV, WXYZ. And I need some clean water for drinking, It’s the alphabet, come on and sing it with me. And I need some clean air for breathing, Page 3 America Curl up snug in your water bed, By Samuel Francis Smith, 1832 Moon is shining and the stars are out, My country 'tis of thee, Good night, little whale, good night. Sweet land of liberty, !Baby Beluga, Baby Beluga, Of thee I sing. !With tomorrow's sun, another day's Land where my father's died, begun, Land of the Pilgrims' pride, !You'll soon be waking. From every mountainside, Let freedom ring. Baby Beluga in the deep blue sea, Swim so wild and you swim so free, America the Beautiful Heaven above and the sea below, Words by Katherine Lee Bates You're just a little white whale on the go, O beautiful for spacious skies, You're just a little white whale on the go. For amber waves of grain. For purple mountain majesties, Barges Above the fruited plain. As I sit by my window, looking at the night, America, America, I can see the barges flickering light. God shed his grace on thee, Starboard is green and port is glowing red, And crown thy good with brotherhood, You can see them flickering far ahead. From sea to shining sea. Chorus: Barges! I would like to sail with you, Baby Beluga I would like to sail the ocean blue! By Rafﬁ Barges! Are there treasures in your hold? Baby Beluga in the deep blue sea, Do you fight with pirates brave and bold? Swim so wild and you swim so free, Heaven above and the sea below, As I sit by my window looking at the night, You're just a little white whale on the go. I can see the barges flickering light. Silently flows the river to the sea, !Baby Beluga, Baby Beluga, And the barges, too, go silently. !Is the water warm? !Is your mama home with you so Chorus happy? The Bridges in Town Go Up and Down Way down yonder where the dolphins play, By Ralph Nelson (1998) Where you dive and splash all day, (Chorus) Waves roll in and the waves roll out, The bridges in town, go up and down. See the water squirtin'
