PJs All Day
02:52
|

If I want to be comfy and I’m staying at home
I don’t put on no jeans, nah, ‘cause that would be wrong
I’m wearing PJs all day, baby
PJs all day, baby
Lunchtime came around
But no food in the kitchen’s found
I had to go to the grocery store
I did not change the clothes I wore
I push my cart down the aisle in my flannel long johns
Neighbours ask ‘bout my fashion and I sing them this song
I’m wearing PJs all day, baby
PJs all day, baby
Sunset came days end
I called up all my friends
Watch ‘em struttin’ down the road
To a party with a strict dress code
Said wear your slippers and robes and your button bum onesie
Turn the music on let’s have a pyjama party
PJs all day, baby
PJs all day, baby

Thank You Universe
03:24
|

I like ice cream and video games
Chocolate chip cookies and remote control planes
But my joy can come only from inside
True happiness is gratitude to be alive
Thank you universe for letting me be me
Thank you universe for letting me be free
Some days I may suffer
Some days I may feel pain
Some days my head spins like a top inside my brain
On days like these when I need a lift
On days like these I remember life’s a gift
Thank you universe for letting me be me
Thank you universe for letting me be free
Thank you universe

The Golden Rule
03:02
|
|||
Jim and Jerry Johnson liked to collect bugs
Caterpillars beetles earthworms pill bugs slugs
They’d pull their legs and clip their wings
Until their mother told them to respect all things
Hey, it doesn’t matter if they’re green or blue
They weren’t doing any harm to you
Treat others the way you’d want to be treated, too
Follow the golden rule
I went to my sister asked her for a simple favour
She said “I’m very busy, we’ll take about it later”
I said “But it’s important, it cannot wait”
She was fiddling with her phone and playing video games!
Hey, I’m a person that you’re talking to
And this will only take a minute or two
Treat others the way you want to be treated, too
Follow the golden rule
Buddha said it
Zoroaster said it
Confucius said it
Jesus said it
The Talmud said it
The Vedas said it
Muhammad said it, peace be upon him
Your momma said it
Hey, it’s not opinion or a point of view
It’s a simple universal truth
Treat others the way you want to be treated, too
Follow the golden rule

It may seem weird
That there’s a little birdie nest in my bird
But the songs that she sings are so clear
In my ear
Sometimes it brings me to tears
It may seem bizarre
That there’s a monkey living in my car
But he likes to go fast and go far
He plays electric guitar
Like a star
And when we jam
We make a sound like nobody can
The bird the monkey and me are a band
And we’re in demand
The bird the monkey and me
We are the animal three, oh
The furry feathery trio, oh oh oh
The bird the monkey and me
It may seem crazy
That we play absolutely free
That we never know the song or the key
We find the melody
Intuitively
And when we jam
We make a sound like nobody can
The bird the monkey and me are a band
Now let’s jam
The bird the monkey and me
We are the animal three, oh
The furry feathery trio, oh oh oh
The bird the monkey and me
We needed a drummer and a bass player, too
We held auditions at the local zoo
The two toed sloth held the low end groove
We gave the sticks to the kangaroo
The bird the monkey and me
We are the animal three, oh
The furry feathery trio, oh oh oh
The bird the monkey and me
The bird the monkey and me
The bird the monkey and me
The bird the monkey and me, oh oh oh oh
The bird the monkey and me
The sloth and kangaroo are in, too
The bird the monkey and me

Pets
04:11
|

My kitty is a sweetheart
He’s sweeter than an ice cream bean
Sweeter than a tangerine
My kitty is a sweetheart
He looks like a black and white penguin
As chubby as you’ve ever seen
Eyes of emerald green
He looks like a penguin, and
When he wants to go out he
Scratches at the screen door
And someone has to get up
At least a dozen times a day
But we love our little buddy
I have a pet turtle
I like to watch her swim around
Making splishy splashy sounds
I have a pet turtle
Her name is Rowena
She’s the grandmother of the house
She’s little bigger than a mouse
We call her Abuelita, and
We got to change her water
Or else it starts to stink
She climbs up on her rock
It’s where she goes to think
We love our Abuelita
We’ve got a lot of funny friends around
And every single time I turn around
There’s a new friend coming through the door
But I always say the more the merrier
I just got a puppy Boston terrier
The one thing about friends is you can always have more
I have a chinchilla
HIs name is Albert E
Most clever little dude I’ve seen
His actions speak volumes
I can feel him talking to me
From very far away
It’s like he’s in my brain
He’s saying “don’t forget to feed me”, and
Anytime I go out
I see his little face
It makes me want to turn around
And go back to my place
To be with all my little babies
We’ve got a lot of funny friends around
And every single time I turn around
There’s a new friend coming through the door
But I gotta say I’m such a sucker now
I just adopted a Shnauzer and a Greyhound
And a big old floppy eared Bouvier
I have six hamsters
And three bearded dragons, too
It’s like I’m in a zoo
And I never stop cleaning

Teeny Tiny Horsey
02:33
|
|||
I want a horsey the size of a kitty
The size of a kitty’s what my horsey will be
For if I had a horsey the size of a kitty
The pride of the city’s what my horsey would be
I really want to hear that little mini-whinny
On that teeny tiny horsey galloping on the lawn
I really want to feed it those little baby carrots
Sing my teeny tiny horsey all my favourite songs
Hurray for my teeny tiny horsey
A dream is where I first dreamed of you
Come away with me teeny tiny horsey
How I wish that my dream would come true
I would fashion an itty bitty saddle
For my baby to straddle and ride through the park
There’d be no need for us to push along a stroller
For my teeny tiny horsey knows its way in the dark
Then me and my baby, my horsey and my lady
Would canter through the market people watching us play
“Hey where’d you get that horsey the size of a kitty
“So spirited and pretty,” the people would say
Hurray for my teeny tiny horsey
A dream is where I first dreamed of you
Come away with me teeny tiny horsey
How I wish that my dream would come true
I want a horsey the size of a kitty
The size of a kitty’s what my horsey will be
For if I had a horsey the size of a kitty
The pride of the city’s what my horsey would be

Ponderosa Bunchgrass
04:05
|
|||
A little girl born into the world
Three raccoons outside the door
Around the newborn child her family gathered round
The babe let loose a happy sound
They named her Ponderosa Bunchgrass
When she let loose that first laugh
A baby born with such sass
That Ponderosa Bunchgrass
On her first day of school she won some fame
Stood and told the class how she got her name
“It’s the climax vegetation of our ecology
“In our northern home the Okanagan Valley
“And if we’re kind to this land it is what we’ll see
“So I couldn’t be prouder what my parents named me”
Ponderosa Bunchgrass
Always made the class laugh
Walked along her own path
That Ponderosa Bunchgrass
One day a shy little boy called Ponderosa near
Asked her how she lived so free from fear
Ponderosa didn’t have an answer waiting at the ready
So she held the boys hands and she breathed real steady
When she finally spoke this is what she said
And her words to him were like chocolate bread
She said “Brother in a way you are just like me
“Born like a snowflake so unique
“And if you have the courage to be true
“You’ll be different but at least you will be you
“And one more bright sun to light the way
“Will help turn hard work to child’s play”
Thus spoke Ponderosa Bunchgrass

Special Because
03:07
|
|||
I think you’re special because of all the things that you do
I think you’re special because you’ve got a good attitude
You’ve got a wit that’s quicker than a whip crack
A very funny sense of humour yeah you make me laugh
On this you’ve never given me any reason to pause
I think you’re special because
Anytime my back is itching you give me a scratch
I ripped a hole in my jeans and you sewed me a patch
I never ask you it’s just something that you want to do
I’m trying to keep up, making sure I’m helping you
Let’s bring it in for a very big round of applause
I think you’re special because
Anytime that I’m with you I can’t help but smile
Just want to hold you and collapse into a snuggle pile
Your laugh’s infectious, your smile warms me to the bone
I hope you know it’s true when I’m with you I feel at home
The way I see you see the world fills me with awe
I think you’re special because
I think you’re special because
I think you’re special because
I think you’re special because

Once Upon A Dream
03:40
|

Once upon a dream a family lived a life of trial
They built a house beside a stream to carry wood and fish for a while
Up in the mountains far away where not many families tend to go
The city’s games they would not play
The city’s rules they did not know
Up in the mountains far away where not many families tend to go
They built a house where they could stay to hear the stream and feel the wind blow
Once upon a dream
Once upon a dream
And in the night they built a fire
Laid on the ground, looked up at the stars
Sang songs of longing and desire
Pondered the Pleiades and Mars
Where are we going?
Where have we been?
What are we doing here at all?
Once upon a dream
Once upon a dream
Once upon a dream

Life is good, life is one
I was born in the morn with the rising sun
Oh diddle-eye-diddle-eye-diddle-eye day
I was born in the morn with the rising sun
Life is good, life is grand
Grew up on a farm where the soil was sand
Oh diddle-eye-diddle-eye-diddle-eye day
Grew up on a farm where the soil was sand
Life is good, up and down
Rode to school on a mule through the middle of town
Oh diddle-eye-diddle-eye-diddle-eye day
Rode to school on a mule through the middle of town
At the turn of the day life is yours to play
You can diddle you can daddle you can do your thing
You can sing your song you can dance your way
You can give what you have to bring
Life is good, from up above
Got married to a fairy was a winged love
Oh diddle-eye-diddle-eye-diddle-eye day
Got married to a fairy was a winged love
Life is good, but sometimes tragic
Our kids were full of mischief and they knew fairy magic
Oh diddle-eye-diddle-eye-diddle-eye day
Our kids were full of mischief and they knew fairy magic
At the turn of the day life is yours to play
You can diddle you can daddle you can do your thing
You can sing your song you can dance your way
You can give what you have to bring
Life is good, life is thrilling
Bought a house from a mouse for a copper shilling
Oh diddle-eye-diddle-eye-diddle-eye day
Bought a house from a mouse for a copper shilling
Life is good, and life does flow
Grew old in that house and our kids did grow
Oh diddle-eye-diddle-eye-diddle-eye day
Grew old in that house and our kids did grow
Life is good, and life is just
When I died people cried and I turned to dust
Oh diddle-eye-diddle-eye-diddle-eye day
When I died people cried and I turned to dust
At the turn of the day life is yours to play
You can diddle you can daddle you can do your thing
You can sing your song you can dance your way
You can give what you have to bring
Life is good, life is one
I was born in the morn with the rising sun
Oh diddle-eye-diddle-eye-diddle-eye day
I was born in the morn with the rising sun

Waffles
02:44
|

Well I wake up in the morning
I put on my slippers
I walk to the kitchen
I open the fridge
I’m making waffles
I’m making waffles
I pull out the butter
The cream and the milk
I mix it with eggs and flour
Make a batter that’s smooth as silk
For waffles
I’m making waffles
I’m making waffles, yeah
And now I’m chopping the berries
I put on the griddle
I’m whipping the cream
Until I hear the iron sizzle
For waffles
I’m making waffles
And then my brothers and sisters
Jump out of their beds
They stumble into the kitchen
Then somebody says
“It smells like waffles”
I’m making waffles
I’m making waffles, yeah

Hey sister, we’re in this together
Nobody knows me like you do
Hey brother, we’re in this together
And I’ll always stand by you
When you came around I loved you right away
A tiny wrinkled red faced crying diaper wearing baby
Too small to even play
I asked mom to hold you
Told her I’d protect you
You didn’t cry when she passed you to me and I held you carefully
Hey sister, we’re in this together
Nobody knows me like you do
Hey brother, we’re in this together
And I’ll always stand by you
First thing I remember was my elder brother
Push me on the swing in the schoolyard
Now that we are older he is on my shoulder
And I will comfort him when life feels hard
Hey sister, we’re in this together
Nobody knows me like you do
Hey brother, we’re in this together
And I’ll always stand by you
Everything that’s living
Thank you for giving
Everything you have and need
All of my relations
All across the nations
All across the nature and the sea
