LOOK AT THAT FACE
Look at that face, look at that face, she’s got that stuff all over the place, somebody get me a rag, look at that face . . . Look at that Nose, look at that nose, Hand me a hanky and give it a blow, Don’t get it on you clothes, Look at that nose. BRIDGE: Look at that mouth, look at that mouth you got stuff drippin’ north and south. CHORUS: Look at those hands, don’t shake those hands, you don’t where they’ve been you don’t know where they’ll land, don’t get any on your pants Look at those hands.
BRIDGE: Look at those feet, look at those feet, they brought in the mud that was out in the street
There’s Something Funny Going On There’s Something Funny going on in the other room, I must find out what makes that sound I must find out real soon. I tried to close my eyes, I tried to close my ears, No matter what I do, It will not disappear . . . . and it sounds like a Cat, like that…..Horse, of course… Snake, gimme a break…CHORUS: And It sounds like a Monkey… Elephant … Jungle bird ..CHORUS: And It sounds like a Dog … Hog… Duck… Tap Dancer… It’s a thing a ma jig with a whatcha ma call it and what’s it doing here
Smile For The Camera Smile smile smile for the camera, smile smile grin from ear to ear, Smile smile smile for the camera, Smile smile Try to look sincere. Now flash goes a light bulb, You pose, now hear the click, Then flash goes a light bulb, Makes your eyes get big. – CHORUS – Say cheese… show your big white teeth, Now freeze… hold still try not to breath. The shutterbug’s gonna take a snapshot….. All that you can see now is a big spot. – CHORUS –
All By Myself Someday I’ll button my shirt by myself like I saw some other kids do. Someone could help me but I’ll do the rest I’m doing quite well since I grew. Someday I’ll buckle my shoes by myself, Like I saw some other kids do. Someone could help me but I’ll do the rest, I’m doing quite well since I grew. CHORUS: All by myself, I won’t need no other ones help, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it on my own, I can do it all by myself. Verse: Someday I’ll brush all my teeth by myself Like I saw some other kids do. Someone could help me but I’ll do the rest I’m doing quite well since I grew. – CHORUS –
I Must Be Getting Bigger My feet get longer as I get tall, They must keep growing or I will fall, Feet longer, me tall I must be getting bigger everyday now, I must be getting bigger everyday. My legs get longer as I get tall, when I get older I’ll play baseball. Legs longer, baseball.. I must be getting bigger everyday now, I must be getting bigger everyday. When I grow up I’m gonna reach the moon, I’ll sail a ship across a deep lagoon, Sip my Soup from a silver spoon, ride in a big balloon. As I get bigger my clothes get small, when I grow up I’ll replace them all. Me bigger clothes small I must be getting bigger everyday now, I must be getting bigger everyday. When I get older I’ll tell the time, spell My name read and rhyme. Tell time read rhyme I must be getting smarter everyday now, I must be getting smarter everyday.
HUNGRY SLIPPERY MR FISH Hungry slippery Mr. Fish, swimming in the water. Hungry slippery Mr. Fish, I wonder what he is there for. Looking through the aquarium, Sometimes I can just stare at him, I hope someday I can learn to swim Like hungry Mr. Fish. . . will eat too much if you let him . . . will eat his friends if you let him. I don’t know much about fishy treats, He wants to sample each fish he meets. Whoever’s bigger is the one who eats Hungry Mr. Fish, . . . What kind of fish is Mr. Fish? There is so many to chose from If you can guess you will get your wish, So come on come on, let’s name that fish.. – – Is he a sardine, goldfish, catfish, minnow, anchovie, Guppy, eel, whale, well Hungry slippery Mr. Fish, happy swimming all day long . . . his muscles must be so very strong Like a pickle stuck in a jar, The water is fine but he won’t go far He swims so well so he needs no lifeguard Hungry Mr. Fish – – Shark, angelfish, flounder, halibut, Mudskipper, tuna, chub, snook, sushi Octopus, squid, starfish, shrimp, herring.
BOO HOO SONG As I was walking on down my street, I tripped on a crack and I skinned my knee, As I was running up through the yard, I slipped on a puddle and I buized my arm, And when I thin about it , it makes me want to cry CHORUS: I Got a boo boo on on my knee It’s really something to see I got a boo boo black and blue boo hoo a hoo a hoo hoo. I was playing with my favorite dog, pulled her tail but I pulled too long, she made a big noise and she bit my finger, The doctor said we got a real humdinger, and when I think about it makes me want to cry. CHORUS: When I was lookin’ at my neighbors cat they said don’t touch it she might scratch The softest fur that I ever did feel They say eventually the cut will heal And when I think about it, it makes me want to cry … CHORUS
YOU’RE NOT THE ONLY ONE Your just right for you, you’re just right for me, your just right for who you are. Sometimes you think your feet are too long or you might think your hair is all wrong, You might even think you don’t belong in your family. I used to think my ears stuck out and my lips were something that you’d laugh about, Some of this stuff can make you pout but don’t worry. CHORUS: You’re not the only one You needn’t hide or run, you’re not the only one that feels like you do. You’re not the only one You should be having fun, You’re not the only one that feels like you. There’s always someone who feels too tall, There’s always someone who feels too small, And there’s someone who can’t throw a ball the way you do Somebody has to wear glasses, Somebody has to wear braces, and somebody can’t tie their laces when they want to CHORUS
TELL TALE TAIL I knew a dog whose tail was too long, and everywhere she went it went it went bing bang bong it was a tell tale tail, it was a tell tale tail it was a tell tale tail and everywhere she went it went bing bang boom band bing bang bong When she was a puppy she could play ping pong we tied a paddle to her tail it went bing bang bong – CHORUS Her tail bangs on the wall and up and down the hall on the frigerator like an alligator she bangs it on the door and all over the floor she wags it everday you see it swing and sway across the coffee table watch out it’s not too stable she even got the cat what do you think of that –CHORUS I knew a horse whose tail was too long and everywhere it went it went fling flang flong CHORUS
SHOO FLY/SHORTNIN’ BREAD Shoo fly don’t bother me… I belong wherever I be Repeat – I feel I feel I feel I feel like a morning star – repeat- Put on the skillet put on the lid mamma’s gonna make a little shortnin’ bread, That’s not all that she’s gonna do she’s gonna make some apple juice too. Mamma’s little baby loves shortnin shortnin’, Mamma’s little baby loves shortnin bread.

BEFORE I GO TO BED I got places to go, people to know room to grow before I go to bed bubbles to blow big balls to throw before I go to bed. There’s holes to be dug choo choo’s to chug people to hug before I go to bed I’ll drink from my mug pull the bath plug before I go to bed. And in the morning when I rise and wipe the sleep out of my eyes I won’t be surprised when I see you. When you day is done and you don’t see the sun You had a lot of fun It’s time to go to bed. The night has begun, say goodnight to someone it’s time to go to bed BRIDGE
