THE CAT CAME BACK
By Harry Miller

1. Old Mr. Johnson had troubles of his own
There was a yellow cat who wouldn’t leave his home
He tried and he tried to give the cat away
Even sent him to Australia and told him there to stay

CHORUS:
But the cat came back the very next day
The cat came back, they thought he was a goner
The cat came back, he just wouldn’t stay away

2. And then they gave that cat to a man in a balloon
He promisd that he’d take him straight up to the moon
The big balloon came down over 50 miles away
And where that man is living now no one can ever say

But the cat came back the very next day
The cat came back, they thought he was a goner
The cat came back, he just wouldn’t stay away


3. And then they took that cat, they thought it would be best
To put him on a train that was going way out west
The train was speeding down the track and then it hit a rock
All the people on the train suffered greatly from the shock

But the cat came back the very next day
The cat came back, they thought he was a goner
The cat came back, he just wouldn’t stay away

4. They never did stop trying to send that cat away
They had a different idea every single day
They even mailed him in a box the whole world around
But he always kept coming to his own home ground

But the cat came back the very next day
The cat came back, they thought he was a goner
The cat came back, he just wouldn’t stay away


GRANNY
Copyright: Janet Sclaroff

I love my dear, sweet Granny
Such stories she can tell
But when it is my turn to talk, she doesn’t hear so well

I said I had a headache and my belly had some pain
She stood right up and gasped at me
And said, “It’s going to rain!?!
Close the windows, close the doors, lock the cellar and cover the floors
Get your boots and get your coat, oh my gosh, do we need a boat?”

I love my dear, sweet Granny
Such stories she can tell
But when it is my turn to talk, she doesn’t hear so well

While playing cards I told her, four aces always wins
She stood right up and gasped at me.
“What, Sarah gave birth to twins?!
Boil water, call a nurse. One baby’s tough, two are worse!
Get the presents, send her cheer, take my hand or I’ll plotz right here!”

I love my dear, sweet Granny
Such stories she can tell
But when it is my turn to talk, she doesn’t hear so well

She said, “Let’s build a fire.”
I said, “I’ll get a log.”
She stood right up and gasped at me,
“What?!? Gertie lost her frog?
Check the toilet, check the sink!
Where would a frog jump, where do you think?
Up the stairs and down the hall, with all this chasing, I could fall!”

I love my dear, sweet Granny
Such stories she can tell
But when it is my turn to talk, she doesn’t hear so well
VAT? Vat d’ja say?????



BANANA
Copyright: Elliot Stomel

There was a little girl named Brittany
And everyone said she was so pretty
She heed and hawed like a little donkey
She climbed the tree like a little monkey
Do you know why?

Because she loved bananas, oh yes she loved bananas in every way
Oh yes, she loved bananas, and she ate them every day.

She had a brother, his name it was Lou
And everyone said he was missing a screw
One day he climbed up the big, tall tree too
If you ask me why, I will tell you
Do you know why?

Because he loved bananas, oh yes, he loved bananas in every way
Oh yes, he loved bananas, and he ate them every day.

They had a mother, her name was Kathy
She was so proud of her little family
One day she climbed up the big, old tall tree
She was surprised when she see what she see
Do you know what she see????

She saw them eating bananas, she saw them eating bananas in every way
Oh yes, they ate bananas, and they ate them every day.

Oh yes they loved bananas, Oh yes they loved bananas in every way
Oh yes, they loved bananas and they ate them every day…..
La la la la la la la la …


Suggestion: You can use other kid’s names and rhyme them.

THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
c. Janet Sclaroff

Here it comes, it’s coming in
Food’s in my mouth, some down my chin
My tongue and salivary gland
Start working now and join the band.

The mush slides down without a fuss
And slithers through esophagus
It eases down where stomach churns
And sometimes gurgles, sometimes burns

Pancreas and liver loose
Their quick-dissolving gastric juice
In the small intestine, they combine
And ramble through that twisted vine

Then large intestine gets the stuff
And moves it ‘til it’s had enough
It finally comes around the bend
And exits out the other end.




I BELIEVE IN STUFFED UP ANIMALS
Copyright: Janet Sclaroff


I believe in stuffed up animals,
I am sure that they wake at night
And play around my darkened room,
And rest when it is light
Grown-ups say it’s craziness,
My stuffies aren’t real
But even though I sleep right through,
I believe in what I feel

Chorus: Stuffed up animals, wakin’ up at night
Stuffed up animals, I believe that I am right

They say you have to see a thing to know that it is true,
But then they say there’s G-d and air, so what else can I do?
But believe my stuffed up animals are waiting to have fun
I’ll smile knowing they’ll awake and not tell anyone!

Chorus: Stuffed up animals, wakin’ up at night
Stuffed up animals, I believe that I am right!

I believe in stuffed up animals,
I am sure that they wake at night
And play around my darkened room,
And rest when it is light



I WANNA BE FIRST
Copyright: Janet Sclaroff

I wanna be first, I wanna be first, I wanna be first now
I wanna be first, I wanna be first, I wanna be first now

Maybe second, tries a little harder
Maybe third is a better word
Maybe fourth is a little bit more
But I wanna be first now

I wanna be first, I wanna be first, I wanna be first now
I wanna be first, I wanna be first, I wanna be first now

If I’m not first, I may miss my turn
If I’m not first, I may never learn
If I’m not first, I may miss the food
If I push in first, I may be rude

I wanna be first, I wanna be first, I wanna be first now
I wanna be first, I wanna be first, I wanna be first now

Washington was first president
Dumbo the first flying elephant (?)
20th of March is the first day of spring
I wish I were first in everything!


I wanna be first, I wanna be first, I wanna be first now
I wanna be first, I wanna be first, I wanna be first now


TURN THE WORLD AROUND
By Harry Belafonte & Robert Freedman
Copyright: Clara Music Publishing

We come from the mountain, (hands above head creating a pointed peak)
We are from the mountain
Go back to the mountain, (hands with thumbs out - hitchhiker motion back & forth over shoulders)
Turn the world around (one hand over head going around like spinning a lasso)
We are from the mountain (Make pointed peak)
Go back to the mountain, (Hitchhiker thumbs over shoulders)
Turn the world around (Lassoing over head)

We come from the fire (Fingers wiggling like flames)
We are from the fire
Go back to the fire (hands with thumbs out - hitchhiker motion back & forth over shoulders)
Turn the world around (one hand over head going around like spinning a lasso)
We are from the fire (Fingers wiggling like flames)
Go back to the fire (Hitchhiker thumbs over shoulders)
Turn the world around (Lassoing over head)

We come from the water (Make motion like water with hands)
We are from the water
Go back to the water (Hitchhiker thumbs over shoulders)
Turn the world around (Lassoing over head)
We come from the water (Make motion like water with hands)
Go back to the water (Hitchhiker thumbs over shoulders)
Turn the world around (Lassoing over head)

We can make a difference
Kids can make a difference
We can make a difference
Turn the world around…Turn the world around….Turn the world around….
TURN THE WORLD AROUND!!!


Suggestions: From where else in nature could we come? What motion could we use to depict it? Incorporate them into the next verses.


OH, WON’T YOU SING ALONG
Copyright: Janet Sclaroff

Oh, won’t you sing along, won’t you sing along with me?
Oh, won’t you sing along, won’t you sing along with me?

I like to give my hands a clap
I like to give my feet a tap
I like to give my hands a clap
Oh, won’t you clap with me

Oh, won’t you clap along, won’t you clap along with me?
Oh, won’t you clap along, won’t you clap along with me?

I like to jump upon the ground
I like to move my arms around
I like to jump upon the ground
Oh, won’t you jump with me

Oh, won’t you jump along, won’t you jump along with me?
Oh, won’t you jump along, won’t you jump along with me?

Oh, won’t you sing along, won’t you sing along with me?
Oh, won’t you sing along, won’t you sing along with me?

I like to shake around my hips
I like to make noise with my lips (make noises with you lips)
I like to shake around my hips,
Oh won’t you shake with me?

Oh, won’t you shake along, won’t you shake along with me?
Oh, won’t you shake along, won’t you shake along with me?
Won’t you shake along, won’t you clap along,
Won’t you sing along with me?




BEAR HUNT
Retold by Janet Sclaroff

(PAT YOUR LEGS & REPEAT AFTER ME)
Goin’ on a Bear Hunt
Gonna find a bear
Open the door (creak)
Walk down the walk
Come to a wheat field
Can’t get over it (make a motion with hand and arm like going over something)
Can’t get under it (make a motion with hand and arm like going under something)
We’ll have to go through it (make motion with hands like going through something)
Come to a bridge
Can’t get over it (make a motion with hand and arm like going over something)
Can’t get under it (make a motion with hand and arm like going under something)
We’ll have to go across it (gently pound fists on chest) aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh
Come to a tree
Can’t get over it (make a motion with hand and arm like going over something)
Can’t get under it (make a motion with hand and arm like going under something)
We’ll have to climb up it
(make motion with hands like climbing up something while going up the musical scale la la la la la la la la)
Do you see a bear? (Hand over eyebrows looking far in distance)
No, I don’t see a bear!
Let’s climb down
(make motion with hands like climbing down something while going down the musical scale la la la la la la la la)
Come to a river
Can’t get over it (make a motion with hand and arm like going over something)
Can’t get under it (make a motion with hand and arm like going under something)
We’ll have to row across it (row while singing)
“Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream”
Come to a cave
Should we go inside?
Let’s tip-toe - tip toe, tip toe
It’s dark inside
It’s very dark inside
I see 2 eyes! I see a big furry body! It’s a BEAR! RUN!
Go across the river! “Row, row, row your boat…climb up the tree – la la la la
Climb down the tree la la la la la – go across the bridge – ahhhhhhh- go through the wheat field- go down the walk – open the door squeak lslam the door shut – lock it!
Ah – we’re safe!!!!
THE MOST TERRIBLE THING
Copyright: Janet Sclaroff & Dan Hart

CHORUS: It’s the most terrible thing. It is worse than anything

It is worse than fighting and worse than chores
It is worse than a picnic on a day that it pours
It is worse than crumbs on the kitchen floor
It’s the most terrible thing
CHORUS

It is worse than falling down off the slide
It is worse than when Mom takes your brother’s side
It is worse than when my pet parakeet died
It’s the most terrible thing
CHORUS:

It is worse than slamming your thumb in the door
It is worse than the time I was lost in the store
It is worse than throwing up on the floor
It’s the most terrible thing
CHORUS

I can’t seem to remember what I meant to say.
It’s so funny how thoughts sort of just slip away
Well, I’d rather forget those bad things anyway
‘Cause I hate most terrible things
And I guess there is nothing so terribly bad
If I can’t remember the thought that I had
So I will allow myself just to feel glad
That there’s no most terrible thing!




OH, I WANT TO BE A KID
(THE OREO SONG) copyright: janet Sclaroff


Oh, I want to be a kid
Put it back in the fridge and don’t close the lid
I’ll leave the crust when I eat bread
And I’ll never, never, never, ever make my bed
When I go to the bathroom, I won’t wash my hands
And I’ll do neat things with rubberbands

CHORUS: You can tell me I’m a grown-up and I’ll say
“I know, but don’t you tell me how to eat my oreo”
You can tell me I’m a grown-up and I’ll say
“I know, but don’t you tell me how to eat my oreo”

I just wanna be one of the guys
I’ll play tackle football and I’ll eat French fries
I’ll throw paper airplanes at my classmates head
And I’ll never, never, never, ever make my bed
I will play hide & seek in my laundry pile
And I won’t be found for years…well, at least for a while.
CHORUS

I just want to be a kid
And I’ll say, “Don’t believe the things they say I did!”
I’ll chew on gum and I’ll bite my nails
And everywhere I go, I’ll leave little trails
I will play for hours in the swimmin’ pool
And eat the middle first will be my only rule!

CHORUS: You can tell me I’m a grown-up and I’ll say
“I know, but don’t you tell me how to eat my oreo”
You can tell me I’m a grown-up and I’ll say
“I know, but don’t you tell me how to eat my oreo,
don’t you tell me how to eat my oreo, don’t you tell me how to eat my oreo”


GOODBYE SONG
Copyright: Janet Sclaroff

I hate to say goodbye to you
Goodbye to all my friends
So here’s a goodbye we’ll love so much
We’ll do it again and again

CHORUS: See ya soon, Baboon
It’s bye, bye Butterfly
See ya later, Alligator,. In a while, Crocodile!

No one told me goodbye felt like this
I really didn’t know
For instead of saying the word goodbye,
I’d always say hello!

CHORUS: See ya soon, Baboon
It’s bye, bye Butterfly
See ya later, Alligator. In a while, Crocodile!

This song is so you’ll understand
Just the reason why
I leave you now and I say, “Hello”
Instead of a goodbye!

CHORUS: Hello, Buffalo. What’s the word, Mockingbird?
What is new, Caribou? Sealed with love, Turtle-Dove.
Hello, Buffalo. What’s the word, Mockingbird?
What is new, Caribou? Sealed with love, Turtle-Dove.
