Aardvark in the Park The Airplane Song There’s a large dark aardvark in the park Open your song book to page 13. They say he’s missing from the zoo If I had the wings of an airplane, airplane The police are looking high and low, Up in the sky I would fly, would fly They haven’t seen him, have you? If I had the wings of an airplane, airplane Oh I’ll tell you the reason, I’d fly till the day I would die, would die Because it’s aardvark mating season! When an aardvark makes a date Chorus: Ooh la la, ooh la la, ooh la la, repeat You know he slips right through that old zoo gate Ooh la la, ooh la la, ooh la la, again So if you see two aardvarks playing in the park Ooh la la, ooh la la, ooh la la, once more Don’t upset their apple cart. Ooh la la, ooh la la, la, the end Why? Close your song book You are not a spy, you’re not the FBI, And you should never break an aardvark’s heart! Alive, Awake, Alert, Enthusiastic I’m alive, awake, alert, enthusiastic (2x) I’m alive, awake, alert Adams Family Grace I’m alert, awake, alive I’m alive, awake, alert, enthusiastic *Duh-nuh-nuh-nuh (snap, snap) Duh-nuh-nuh-nuh (snap, snap) Duh-nuh-nuh-nuh, duh-nuh-nuh-nuh, Alice the Camel Duh-nuh-nuh-nuh (snap, snap)* Alice the camel has 10 humps (3x) We thank the earth for giving So go, Alice, go! This food we need for living So bless us while we eat it (Continue on down to…) Because we really need it (The Girl Scout family) * Alice the camel has no humps (3x) Cause Alice is a horse! Animal Song Alligator Animals are lots of fun *Alligator, alligator They’re big and round and hairy Can be your friend, can be your friend, can be your friend, Some have teeth and some have claws too* And some are rather scary. And I would go to the animal zoo The alligator is my friend, he can be your friend too If only you would understand that he has feelings too * With lots of money to buy them And I would bring one home to you The alligator laughs and plays, he never sings the blues If I knew how to fly them. I’d rather have him on my shirt than have him for my shoes * Dum de dum de dum dum dum The alligator ate my friend, he can eat your friend too, Lions they are lots of fun If only you would understand that he gets hungry too * They’re big and round and furry And I would bring one home to you Bring one home in a hurry And I would go to the African plain All My Life’s a Circle And there I’d try to trap him And I would bring one home to you All my life’s a circle, If I knew how to wrap him. Sunrise to sundown. Dum de dum de dum dum dum The moon rolls through the evening ‘Til the daylight comes around. Elephants are lots of fun All my life’s a circle, They’re big and round and pleasant But I can’t tell you why And I would bring one home to you Seasons spinning ‘round again As an elephant present. The years keep rolling by. And I would go to the animal zoo With lots of peanuts to bribe him And I would bring one home to you Always If I knew how to hide him. Dum de dum de dum dum dum. Oh you are my friend, and I’ll walk with you always I’ll stay by your side and I’ll walk with you always Polar bears are lots of fun Always, always, I’ll walk with you always They’re big and round and real white. Always, always, I’ll walk with you always And I would bring one home to you Bring one home on a plane flight. Apple Trees And I would go to the north pole And there I’d try to lure him Underneath the rising moon, silver mists are dancing And I would bring one home to you Soft the lilac’s sweet perfume, fills the night entrancing If I knew I wouldn’t hurt him. White and ghostly in the gloom, Dum de dum de dum dum dum. Stands the apple trees in bloom Apple trees in bloom, apple trees in bloom Wallabies are lots of fun They’re big and round and jumpy. (a round to be started after the first line) And I would bring one home to you Just so you could have comp’ny And I would go to Australia The Ash Grove And there I’d try to tag him. And I would bring one home to you Down yonder green valley where streamlets meander If I knew I wouldn’t gag him. When twilight is fading I pensively rove Dum de dum de dum dum dum Or at the bright noon-tide in solitude wander Amid the dark shades of the lonely ash grove ‘Tis there where the blackbird is cheerfully singing Each warbler enchants with his notes from the tree Ah, then little think I of sorrow or sadness Announcements The ash grove entrancing spells beauty for me Announcements, announcements, announcements Auld Lang Syne A terrible death to die, a terrible death to die A terrible death, a terrible death, Should old acquaintance be forgot A terrible death to die And never brought to mind, Should old acquaintance be forgot Make announcements short and sweet, In days of Auld Lang Syne Short and sweet, short and sweet. For Auld Lang Syne, my dear Make announcements short and sweet, For Auld Lang Syne ‘Cause they are boring. We’ll take a cup of kindness yet, In days of Auld Lang Syne __(name)__ has another one, another one, another one __(name)__ has another one, she has them all the time. (To be sung with “I Understand”) Austrian Yodeling Baby Day Once an Austrian went yodeling Why sleep when the day has been brought up by the sun? On a mountain so high. From the night, when the light’s gonna shine on everyone When along came a cuckoo bird Why sleep when sleep only closes up our eyes? Interrupting his cry: Why sleep when we can watch the sun arise? * *Oh, da la, oh da la kiki, oh da la cuckoo cuckoo *We were meant to see the beginning of the day Oh da la kiki, oh da la cuckoo cuckoo I believe it was planned to lift us this way Oh… Take you an apple and take you a song, And watch the baby day be born* (add other verses with different sounds as desired, i.e. grizzly bear, etc.) Quite, quite, said I, that’s all very well to say When I woke at the dawn, to your singing yesterday I couldn’t see the light ‘cause the dark was in my skies I couldn’t see the sun ‘cause the sun was in my eyes * Baby Bumble Bee “Why sleep?” I heard and I followed it today, To the top of the hill, where the wind-songs play I’m bringing home my baby bumble bee I know it like I heard it, why I heard it who knows why Won’t my mommy be so proud of me Why sleep when we can watch the sun arise? I’m bringing home my baby bumble bee. Ouch! It stung me! We were meant to see the beginning of the day I believe it was meant to lift us this way I’m squishing up my baby bumble bee Take you an apple and take you a song Won’t my mommy be so proud of me Take back an answer to something gone wrong I’m squishing up my baby bumble bee Take you some music and take me along Ewww! It’s all over me! And watch the baby day be born I’m licking up my baby bumble bee Won’t my mommy be so proud of me, Baby Duck I’m licking up my baby bumble bee. Ugh, I don’t feel so good! Wasn’t it a bit of luck that I was born a baby duck? With yellow sucks and yellow shoes So I can go wherever I choose. Quack! Quack! Quack-quack-quack! Yay Ducks! Balloons Baby Lima Green and yellow balloons make me happy I think that I would like to be The red ones they make me feel sad A baby lima or a pea. But tomorrow the red ones will make me feel silly Living snuggly in my pod And the next day balloons are just fads * In my green and tender bod. *Friends let me cheer you, let me sing you a song Let me tell you a tale of today Let me create a moment, let me make the world move on Let me live life just for today* Back of the Bread When you see out your window some rain I’ll ask you to come out and play In back of the bread is the flour But you’ll stay in your dry house and ask me to come in In back of the flour is the mill But today I like rainy days In back of the mill is the wind and the rain And the creator’s will.
