Dust Pan
I was in the kitchen baking some muffins
I was in the kitchen baking a cake
A cup of flour flew right out of my hand
It was a big messy mistake
Now I need a dust pan (Sweep sweep, sweepity sweep)
I need a dust pan (Sweep sweep, sweep it up neat)
What good is a broom without a dust pan?
(Do mop do mop do mop do mop)
Mary, Larry, Lenny and me
Were playing out in the rain
We trekked our muddy boots all over the house
And my mother she began to complain
Now I need a dust pan (Do you want me to mop?)
I need a dust pan (Do you want me to mop?)
What good is a broom without a dust pan?
(Do mop do mop do mop do mop)
And when it’s night time
One of my favourite things to do
Is watch a movie with a bowl of popcorn
But I get so into the show
Uh oh, I just don’t know
How my popcorn ends up getting all over the floor
And now I need a dust pan…

Little Sammy Davis
Little Sammy Davis lived alone in the forest
In a little house in the trees
Every day he’d forage just to make his morning porridge
He had no locks he had no keys
One day he was hunting ‘cause his belly it was rumbling
He caught himself a snake by the tail
The snake knew he was beaten so he let himself be eaten
And the rodent population exhaled
Well the rodents started breeding - the next thing they were feeding
And pretty soon ate everything
When a flock of birds did swoop down and they gulped the rodent troop down
Then they perched in trees and started to sing
But too late all the food’s gone no more leaves or seeds to chew on
Little Sammy’s going hungry today
So to the river to go fishing you can’t catch a fish by wishing
Will he catch one will he won’t who can say
Now Sammy’s sitting on the levy - his lids are getting heavy
He’s dreaming that the fish takes the bate
Just then the line starts bending for his life now he’s defending
It’s a big one Sammy’s meeting his fate
Go Sammy go (Where you gonna go?)
Go Sammy go (Where you gonna go?)
You’re a man in the wild living like a child go go (Where you gonna go?)
Now Sammy’s hanging on tight in a life or death fight
Pulled underwater by the fish on the line
And the darkness starts a-coming and a harp he feels like strumming
Sammy lets go and accepts that he’s dyin’
Just then everything pops the wind the waves they just stop
And Sammy’s lying on the beach in the sun
But it was not a fish at all - it’s a woman nature calls
Sammy gets up on one knee and they’re one
Pretty soon they have a child - they name the babe Miles
Sammy Davis and his wife are so thrilled
But the boy is kind of strange he can blow a mean range
He’s got lungs but he has also got gills
Go Sammy go (Where you gonna go?)
Go Sammy go (Where you gonna go?)
Blow Miles blow - Blow Miles blow
Swim fish lady swim (Blub swishy swishy)
You’re gonna win (Blub swishy)
You’re out in the wild living like a child go go (Where you gonna go?)

I Like It Saucy
I like it saucy
Please make mine saucy, mommy
Sweet and sour, plum, honey mustard, barbecue
Hollandaise and mayonnaise these are just to name a few
I like it saucy
Please make mine saucy, mommy
In France they have a special chef they call the saucier
Who makes delicious sauce like béchamel and velouté
Beurre noir, Sauce Lyonnaise, rouille, Sauce Bourguignonne
The saucier’s the master of this tasty profusion
I like it saucy
Please make mine saucy, mommy
I dream of a pasta bar with different sauce to choose
Ladle Alfredo on fettuccini noodles
Ragù alla bolognese, pesto with spaghetti
A simple pomodoro please or funghi e piselli
My brother John he don’t like sauce he takes his burger dry
No mustard on the bun for him no ketchup for the fry
And even on his ice cream he won’t take the chocolate sauce
A missing world of flavour I feel bad for Johnny’s loss
No sauce for Johnny
No sauce for Johnny, mommy
But I like it saucy
Please make mine saucy, mommy
In fact I’ll take Johnny’s sauce
Double sauce for me please, mommy
Thank you
Thanks, mom

Tomato Jungle
In the tomato jungle there’s lots to see
Bugs and spiders are roaming free
And everyone is happy when it rains
There’s always lots of food to eat
We’re always wary of the gardener’s feet
The tomato jungle is a good place for us to stay
You can climb so high
See the birds go by
Or dig around in the ground and see what you can find
Watch the mushrooms grow
In between the rows
The tomato jungle is a good place for you and I
Marigolds keep ringworms away
Rodents are eaten by birds of prey
In the tomato jungle the carrots and basil are close
(Oooo we like to grow together)
Pocket gophers chew the roots sometimes
They dig all around and commit their crimes
But all in all it’s a wonderful place to go
Watch the colours change
There is such a range
From yellow green and orange to red and gold
Many different sized
Fruits are on these vines
And you’ve never tasted flavours quite as bold

Where the green geese dance
That’s where I want to be

They’re spinning phonograph
That’s where I want to be

Where the blue geese chill
Where the purple geese fly
Where the orange geese paint
They got no complaint
That’s where I want to be
Where the orange geese paint
Where the yellow geese laugh
Where the green geese dance
Where the blue geese chill
Where the purple geese fly
Where the red geese sing
Where they do their thing
That’s where I want to be
Where the red geese sing
Where the orange geese paint
Where the yellow geese laugh
Where the green geese dance
Where the blue geese chill

Yam Fries
When you’re hungry and it’s lunch time
Instead of standing in the lunch line
Let’s pack a lunch that makes us feel fine
Maybe we should make some yam fries
Yam fries
Yam fries
It takes a minute yeah it’s easy
And if you want to make them cheesy
I like to eat them with salt pepper lime
Garlic cilantro make them sublime
Yam fries
Yam fries
You know they’re packed with betacarotene
Vitamin A to make you feel keen
They keep digestion regular and right
They put your tummy in the limelight
Yam fries
Yam fries
But keep your fryer far away from me
Baked in the oven’s all I want to see
They are a snack that’s not just great; they’re choice!
I like them crispy not soggy and moist
Yam fries
Yam fries

Electric Jellyfish Boogaloo
First you’re tapping your toe
Then you wiggle your knee
Then you let it all shake through your whole body
It ain’t quite the hokey-pokey or the look-see-do
It’s the electric jellyfish boogaloo
Now your swinging your hips to the left and the right
Now your swaying your arms from side to side
Now your bobbing your head just like you know how to do
It’s the electric jellyfish boogaloo
Jellyfish electric jellyfish electric
Jellyfish electric jellyfish electric
Boogaloo
I was out in the wild just a-trekking about
When the coyotes began to howl and shout
I had gotten too close to their dens and pups
They were yelping so fierce and I was all shook up
Well I could not run but I dared not stay
I did a little dance as I backed away
I was awful scared but now they’re doing it too
It’s the electric jellyfish boogaloo
Jellyfish electric jellyfish electric
Jellyfish electric jellyfish electric
Boogaloo
Now you’re raising your eyebrows as high as they go
And you curl up your lip and crinkle your nose
And you can do it from Kentucky down to Kathmandu
It’s the electric jellyfish boogaloo
Well I learned the dance from a wide awake dream
It was a technicolour vision from the astral stream
A gelatinous mass with a crazy move
It was electric jellyfish boogaloo
Jellyfish electric jellyfish electric
Jellyfish electric jellyfish electric
Boogaloo

Look At Those Bees
Look at those bees

Look at those bees

That bee got me on the nose
Now it’s big now it’s red now it glows
That bee
Just stung me
Get fed spread it on some bread
Nice and sweet good to eat that’s what I said
Yummy
Let’s eat some honey

Fermented Foods
I like to eat fermented foods every day
They get me going keep me feeling okay
They help assimilate nutrients from food that I chewed
So I have energy to go out and play
I’ll have a snack of some pickles and cheese
And if I’m asking I’ll remember to say please
It is a simple fact there are some major advantages
To making sauerkraut from these cabbages
There are billions of beneficial bacteria
Floating around in my tummy
Ain’t it so nice to know
The foods I’m eating to stay healthy are yummy
Like keifer miso kombucha or kimchi
They rock n’ roll me - they fill me with glee
It’s no surprise I love my sourdough rye
I treasure microbiologic diversity

Saturday’s a Sadder Day
Saturday’s a sadder day
Saturday’s a sadder day
Saturday’s the saddest day
When I’m not with you
Sunday’s a sunny day
On Sundays I want to play
And Sunday is the sunniest day
When I play with you
On Monday we sit beneath the moon
Talk about the day we had
And what we’re gonna do
The air is crisp and cool
And we’re cool too
On Tuesday we must choose
Should we walk the path we’re on
Or change our walking shoes
We stop and sing the blues
And laugh like fools
Wednesday Thursday I don’t mind
We’ve got love and life is fine
When it’s a hard day you know then
We’ve got each other real true friends
Friday does not mark the end
Spin it around do it over again
Saturday’s a sadder day
Saturday’s a sadder day
Saturday’s the saddest day
When I’m not with you
Sunday’s a sunny day
On Sundays I want to play
And Sunday is the sunniest day
When I play with you

Pure Love
If you want me for me then I want you too
If you would be, just be with me, we’d be true
The only things I trust
I don’t understand
The best things we’ve done
Could never be planned
The game becomes a ritual
When we know the cards in our hands
Pure love
Pure love
Is what we’re made of
Just pure love
And all that other stuff
Is just other stuff
But it’s not us
We’re pure love
You go on like it matters what happens, like it has a consequence
Until you remember something that you don’t quite comprehend
And you start to laugh
And the ground disappears
And we’re falling now
And you take my hand
‘Cause we’re all that’s real
We become each other
We become nothing
Pure love
