lyrics

La da dee…

Grass is gettin’ tall 
Halfway up the wall 
No time to work 
Just wanna play

Pack a snack or two
One for me and you
We’ll head out the door 
A new day’s on parade 
Brand new day is on parade

Rise and shine (little darlin'), rise and shine
Wake your sleepy head, it's time to shine
Coffee’s in the kitchen. toast and butter
We don’t need a thing, 'cause we got each other
Oh oh oh, rise and shine 

Buckle up your shoe
Hop in the red canoe
We’ll paddle all the way 
Up to the falls 

A whole to world to see 
Humpback whales and bumble bees
And come tonight  
We’ll sleep under the stars 
You and me under the stars

Rise and shine (little darlin'), rise and shine
Wake your sleepy head, it's time to shine
Coffee’s in the kitchen. toast and butter
We don’t need a thing, 'cause we got each other
Oh oh oh, rise and shine 

Rise and shine (little darlin'), rise and shine
Wake your sleepy head, it's time to shine
Coffee’s in the kitchen. toast and butter
We don’t need a thing, 'cause we got each other
Oh oh oh, rise and shine 

Alligator, sunfish, turtles, blueshark,
lobster, seahorse, clownfish, dolphin,
eels and crabs, shrimp and anacondas too. 
Elephants, house mouse, tamarins, starlings,
foxes, hawks and chicken and geese,
kittens and donkeys, wombats, and kangaroo. 

Some of us are living in the ocean,
Some of us are living on the land
Our bits and bobs look different,
I think of it as art 
Every single critter on the earth’s got a beating heart 

Some folks live in Austin, Portland, Little Rock, Phoenix,
New York, Montclair, Baton Rouge, Charlotte,
Albuquerque, Jasper, San Fran, and Kalamazoo
Biloxi, Boulder, Sitka, Honolulu,
Woodstock, Buffalo, Nashville, Chicago,
Madison, Atlanta, Laurel Canyon, Topanga too

Some of us are living near the ocean
Some of us live on a mountaintop 
Our bits and bobs look different 
But here’s the funny part
Every single earthling on the earth’s got a beating heart

Some of us are living in the ocean
Some of us are living on the land
Our bits and bobs look different 
Think of it as art 
Every single critter on the earth’s got a beating heart
Yeah, every single earthling’s got a beautiful beating heart

And even if you don’t have a physical muscle called a heart
You’re still an important member of planet earth
And you belong in this song

If there is a monster underneath your bed
While the world is sleeping 
Give him a pat upon his furry head 
See what he’s been dreamin’

Shadows dance across your bedroom wall 
While you lie awake
Ask him what’s his favorite game of all  
Tell him you’d love to play 

Because he’s just as scared of the dark
As you are, as you are
He’s feelin’ pretty lonely too 
But if you make a friend
with the monster under your bed 
Think of all the things that you could do

Maybe he’s hungry for a midnight snack
Sneak down to the kitchen 
Cherries and chocolate or some pepperjack
Make a new tradition 

Play charades or play the xylophone 
Maybe hide and seek 
Hula hoop around the living room
Forget about counting sheep

Because he’s just as scared of the dark
As you are, as you are
He’s feelin’ pretty lonely too 
But if you make a friend
with the monster under your bed 
Think of all the things that you could do
Think of all the things that you could do

Hold on
This could be a swan song
There’s nothing here to go wrong
The kids are on the front lawn

Another year of foraging
Uncovering the roots and stems
Takin’ time to let it in
Rollin’ in the clover again

Ooooh, ooooo, oooo, ooooh

Hold me
Tighter than a teapot
Dancin’ round the sun spots
Feelin’ like a moon shot

All around the kitchen
All around the old den
Hoppin’ over fences
Runnin’ through the sprinkler again

Ooooh, ooooo, oooo, ooooh

Here we go deep sea dive 
to the bottom where it all began
Fingerprints, paw prints, 
And all the little critters frozen in the sand

Earthlings
Can you hear the birds sing?
Singin’ bout everything
No matter what the day brings

So eat your greens and vibrate
Brush your teeth and meditate
No one cares if you’re a bit late
Everyday’s a pool day

Ooooh, ooooo, oooo, ooooh

Gossamer wings, shimmer in the shadows
Sparkle and swing, whisper at the window
I hear voices in the quiet, maybe we can find it
Following a mystery clue
And we’re blowing out the candles,
Hoppin’ over brambles 
Lookin’ for a treasure with you

From the heart of the forest
I hear the pixies call to me
Singin’ come along and join us
Dance around the apple tree

Emerald green, flicker in the treetops
Glow worm queen, tell me all your secrets, 
And her songs have got me dreamin’, echo through the evening
Tune I can’t get outta my head 
And her spell has got me thinkin', I can see you blinkin',
Pullin’ at the tapestry thread

From the heart of the forest
I hear the pixies call to me
Singin’ come along and join us
Dance around the apple tree

Won’t you come and take a swim in the lake with me?
Pixies playin’ in the trees, makes it hard to fall asleep

From the heart of the forest
I hear the pixies call to me
Singin’ come along and join us
Dance around the apple tree

Well, From the heart of the forest
I hear the pixies call to me
Singin’ come along and join us
Dance around the apple tree

Two by two, buckle my shoe
Ride my pony off to school
Crickets crick and the bull frog sings
Bugs and birds flash their wings

Four by four, school house door
I don’t know anyone anymore
Teacher seems nice, kids do too
Maybe it’s gonna be fun at school

Mama and pa, kettle & tea
Honey on a spoon for me
Butter to melt, cheese on toast
I love saturdays the most, Saturdays the most

Snuggling up, in a winter storm
Pile of blankets, we’ll pop some corn
New day comes, it’s back to school
I made a new friend, her name is Jules

Mama and pa, kettle & tea
Honey on a spoon for me
Butter to melt, cheese on toast
I love Saturdays the most, Saturdays the most

Carrot stew, kale and beets
Turnip juice and minty leaf
Spring and summer, winter and fall
I love Saturdays most of all

I like the freckles on your face
Cowlick, messy hair all over the place 
Tooth gap, hand clap smilin’ way
You look at me in the mornin’

I like the funny things you say to me
You make me laugh so easily
The dressed up, buttercup make believe 
The way you look at me in the mornin’

Hot cocoa on a winter day
Wet mittens dryin’ all over the place 
Snuggled up together 
Waitin’ on the storm to pass

I like your sparkly shoes and paper crowns 
You turn my frown right upside down 
Your pocket full of feathers, pebbles and stones 
The way you look at me in the mornin’ 

Ginger pop on a summer day
Swimsuits dryin’ all over the place 
Dancing in the kitchen 
Waiting on the rain to pass 

I like your sparkly shoes and paper crowns 
You turn my world right upside down 
Your pocket full of feathers, pebbles and stones 
The way you look at me in the mornin’ 

Lucky me I got lovely you 
Smilin’ at me in the morning 

Won’t you come with me, take the bear for a walk?
I don’t wanna go alone, it's already 10 o’clock  
You’re like a firefly, when you’re out in the night
Holdin’ your hand, who needs a flashlight? 

We’re buzzing along, humming a tune
Look up at the sky, can you see the moon? 
If I was up there, floating in space
I’d be dreaming of you, your little face 

I’ll paint your name across the sky
Gold stardust, twinklin’ in your eyes     
I’m just learning how to fly 
Under the stars with you tonight 

Look at you wild child, with the  flowers in your hair
When I’m with you, I don’t have a single care  
The night is a’ calling, who knows what we’ll see 
Meteor showers, a glittering  galaxy     

We’re takin our time, strolling along
The crickets are out, singing their song
You're holding my hand, it's just you and me
Nowhere else in the world, I’d rather be 

I’ll paint your name across the sky
Gold stardust, twinklin’ in your eyes     
I’m just learning how to fly 
Under the stars with you tonight  

We’re takin our time, strolling along
The crickets are out, singing their song
You're holding my hand, it's just you and me
Nowhere else in the world, I’d rather be 

I’ll paint your name across the sky
Gold stardust, twinklin’ in your eyes     
I’m just learning how to fly 
Under the stars with you tonight 
Under the stars with you tonight 

When you’re down on your luck
And the day’s feeling cold
There’s nobody to play with
No furries to hold

When nothing seems fair
And the cookie jar's bare
You got me, and I’m sticking with you 

When the summer is here
And your popsicle melts 
And the pool is too crowded
For splashing about 

When a thunderstorm growls
In the afternoon hours 
You got me, I’m sticking with you 

I’m sticking with you
Like paper and glue
Like fish in the water 
Swimming out in the blue 

When the last piece of puzzle 
Ends up on the floor
And the dog eats that piece 
So the puzzle’s no more

When you think you don’t fit
And you’re ready to quit
You got me, I’m sticking with you 

I’m never leaving
No matter the season
You can count on me till the end
You got me, you got me, and I’m sticking with you
