Lyrics
I've had parents say, "My child loves your song and wants us to sing it, but we don't know all the words." Herein lies the solution! Lyrics to all of my original songs!
I start each show with this song!
You Are My Friend
You are my friend You make me smile
I’d like to play With you a while
We could ride bikes Or play with trains
Or build a fort For when it rains
It doesn’t matter What we do
As long as I Can be with you
Because until the very end
You are my friend
You are my friend I’m glad you’re here
I can be myself When you are near
Let’s dance a jig Or read a book
Adventure’s ev-Erywhere we look
It doesn’t matter What we’ll see
As long as you Are here with me
Because until the very end
You are my friend
You are my friend I like your style
Let’s sit and color For a while
We’ll swing on swings Or climb a tree
I’ll follow you, You’ll follow me
It doesn’t matter Where we go
We’ll have a ball And this we know
Because until the very end
You are my friend
Angel Kisses
When you were a baby, an angel kissed your nose
Little freckles mark the spots the kissing angel chose
Now as you get bigger, where you go, that angel goes
'Cause when you were a baby, that angel kissed your nose
When you were just tiny, an angel kissed your cheek
To mark you as a special one, to say that you're unique
They'd shout about how much you're loved if your freckles
could speak
'Cause when you were just tiny, that angel kissed your cheek
When you were so little, an angel kissed your face
Kisses sweet and gentle, filled with love and grace
The proof is in your freckles, which nothing can erase
'Cause when you were so little, that angel kissed your face
'Cause when you were just tiny, an angel kissed your cheek
'Cause when you were a baby, that angel kissed your nose
I END each show with this song!
I Think You're Awesome
The time I spend with you
Is the best part of my day
You have a special skill
Of chasing the blues away
I hope you hear my love for you
In the music that I play
I think you're awesome!
Your smile lights up the room
And I love the way you dance
You make me very happy
In every circumstance
I feel the need to tell you
While I have the chance
I think you're awesome!
The happiness I feel
Whenever you're around
Sustains me through my day
Keeps me on higher ground
You're the coolest person
That I have ever found (that's the truth!)
I think you're awesome!
I'm filled with so much joy
Whenever you're with me
The twinkle in your eye
Is magical to see
I hope you keep that sparkle
Live happy, wild, and free
I think you're awesome!
Betta Fish
Oh, betta fish
I see you swimmin' in your dish
Blowin' bubbles as you go
Wave your fin to say hello
Oh, betta fish
I like the way you splash and splish
Through the water you will sail
By the power of your tail
You always make me smile
Swimmin' in circles betta fish style
You and I are the best of friends
'Cause in your fish bowl the fun never ends
Oh, betta fish
Livin' life the way you wish
Swimmin' low and swimmin' high
I like the way you wink your eye
Oh, betta fish
I think your dance moves are delish
You can always draw me in
With a flourish of your fin
You have such style and grace
Swimmin' around like you own the place
You put on quite a show
Makin' a splash everywhere you go
Oh, betta fish
Your martial arts are devilish
As you swim around your bowl
A sassy soldier on patrol
Oh, betta fish
I love to watch your tail go swish
You're so beautiful and smart
Like a swimming work of art
You make me glad each day
Flippin' your fins that classy betta fish way
I gaze at your bowl every chance I get
You'd better believe you're my favorite pet
Oh betta fish
Livin' life the way you wish
Swimmin' low and swimmin' high
I like the way you wink your eye
Through the water you will sail
By the power of your tail!

Eliza's Lemonade
It's a little glass of sunshine
Gonna make you feel fine
You've gotta try Eliza’s lemonade
I was strumming a little song
And Eliza came along
And shyly put a mason jar before me
Inside that magic jar
Was the nectar of a star
The taste of which was good enough to floor me
Her mom had cut the lemons
And Eliza did the rest
Measuring and mixing it with care
And when she put her spoon down
Like a wizard’s magic wand
She made the finest lemonade found anywhere

The Firefighter Way
They get up really early and they stay up really late
They hang out at the firehouse, their chili's really great
They slide down a pole when it's time to operate
And if you are in trouble, they will be there!
That's the Firefighter Way!
With a helmet and a jacket and some boots and a hose
The firefighter keeps it cool, and everybody knows
When they are in a hurry, man, that siren really blows
And if there's an emergency, they'll be there!
That's the Firefighter Way!
When your cat is stuck up in a tree, they know what to do
You're never in much trouble when a fireman's with you
Dalmation on the truck is cool, he's hanging with his crew
And if things get too hot, they will be there!
That's the Firefighter Way!
Flawbulous
A flaw means I’m not perfect
And that’s all right by me
Fabulous means I’m awesome
And that’s the way to be
So let’s just take a look around
And see what’s going on
Flawbulous is the way to be
And that’s why I sing this song.
When I make a mess I’m still flawbulous
When I talk very loud I’m still flawbulous
When I fear that there are monsters I’m still flawbulous
When my tantrum draws a crowd I’m still flawbulous
I work on being a good kid, but
Sometimes I make mistakes
Sometimes I clear my dinner plate
Sometimes that plate just breaks
Flaws are what make me special
I love every part of me
I’m perfectly imperfect I’m flawbulous, you see
When I can’t get to sleep I’m still flawbulous
When I don’t know how to do it I’m still flawbulous
When I have an accident I’m still flawbulous
When you have to walk me through it I’m still flawbulous
If everyone were perfect
We’d all be just the same
Everyone would be predictable
And that would be a shame
It’s our flaws that make us special
That set each one apart
Flawbulous is beautiful I believe that in my heart.
When I don’t say please and thank you I’m still flawbulous
When I trip and fall I’m still flawbulous
When I don’t share my toys I’m still flawbulous
When I color on the wall I’m still flawbulous
Mad About Mushrooms
I'm crazy for beans
I'm cuckoo for peas
I do backflips for broccoli
More kohl rabe, please!
I love me some squash
I'm devoted to beets
I'd turn cartwheels for carrots
More cucumbers, sweets!
Asparagus, tomatoes
Zucchini and potatoes
Make my heart go zing
I'd pay you by the hour
For some cauliflower
Veggies are my thing!
I'm mad about mushrooms
I adore a Brussels sprout
I'd walk a mile for an artichoke
Veggies knock me out!
Oh Annabelle
Oh, Annabelle, I had to tell
You that I love you so I wrote you this song
Oh, Annabelle, I had to tell
You that I love you so I wrote you this song
You're extra strong
You're super funny
Your dance moves are the funkiest
I've seen anywhere
You climb and jump
You roll and tumble
You are surprisingly gentle
When you're combing my hair
Drink lots of juice
Eat lots of cereal
Ignore the bed, sleep on the floor
In your cowboy boots
You think I call you Spazzolino
That's the Italian word for toothbrush,
So that's not quite the truth
You're a big girl
You're always learning
Your heart is full of sunshine
That you've just gotta share
Swim like a fish
Roar like a dino
Celebrate like Princess Poppy
With your hair in the air!
Olivia Knows This Song
Olivia knows this song
You might wanna sing along
The melody is catchy and the beat is strong
And Olivia knows this song
This song is not about five frogs or monkeys
Or wheels on busses going round and round
But Olivia will say that she'll sing it every day
And this kid knows the coolest songs in town
It's not about a farmer named MacDonald
Or how the nighttime stars can twinkle bright
But it makes Olivia smile, so I'll sing it for a while
Because that smile can fill me with delight
Party Animals
A shrewdness of apes A cete of badgers A camp of bats A sleuth of bears
An obstinacy of buffalo A caravan of camels A glaring of cats An army of caterpillars
A coalition of cheetahs A quiver of cobras A consortium of crabs A bask of crocodiles
A murder of crows A cowardice of dogs A pod of dolphins A drove of donkeys
A cluster of dragonflies A convocation of eagles A parade of elephants A gang of elk
A cast of falcons A business of ferrets A school of fish A flamboyance of flamingos
A charm of fox An army of frogs A gaggle of geese A tower of giraffes
A band of gorillas A cloud of grasshoppers A bloat of hippopotami A cackle of hyenas
A shadow of jaguars A smack of jellyfish A mob of kangaroos A kindle of kittens
A conspiracy of lemurs A leap of leopards A pride of lions A risk of lobsters
A labor of moles A barrel of monkeys A pack of mules A raft of otters
A yoke of oxen A parliament of owls A pandemonium of parrots A drift of piglets
A sounder of pigs A prickle of porcupines A litter of puppies A warren of rabbits
A colony of rats An unkindness of ravens A crash of rhinoceroses A shiver of sharks
A stench of skunk A hood of snails An audience of squid A scurry of squirrels
A fever of stingrays A bevy of swans An ambush of tigers A gang of turkeys
A bale of turtles A venue of vultures A colony of weasels A pod of whales
A destruction of wild cats A pack of wolves A wisdom of wombats A zeal of zebras
And an embarrassment of pandas
Peekaboo
Don’t be sad when we’re not together
Even if it’s been a long while
Just close your eyes whenever, wherever
And think of me and smile
It’s like peekaboo
I’m still with you
When you can’t see me there
I carry a part
Of you in my heart
It’s a strong bond that we share
You are so very important to me
I wish I were always nearby
But no matter where you need me to be
You can see me if you close your eyes
It’s like peekaboo
I’m always with you
No matter where you may be
My heart is with you
Whatever you do
You’re so very, very special to me
There will be times when you don’t feel brave
Here is a thing you can do
Just close your eyes and smile and wave
And I’ll be there with you
It’s like peekaboo
I’m still with you
When you can’t see me there
You carry a part
Of me in your heart
I’m by your side anywhere
Sometimes
Sometimes the world seems too big and I'm so small
And I don't like new faces or sounds or places at all
It's out of control, I don't know my role,
It's loud and it's scary, It makes me feel wary
Sometimes the world seems too big and I'm so small
Sometimes I wish I were very brave and strong
That the new and the different didn't seem overwhelming and wrong
And when I get older, I'll be so much bolder,
But for the time being, the fear's all I'm seeing
Sometimes I wish I were very brave and strong
Sometimes I need you to be right by my side
Just in case it's too much and I need a safe place to hide
I try and I try, I don't mean to be shy
But when all that I see is much bigger than me,
Sometimes I need you to be right by my side
Sometimes the world seems too big and I'm so small
And I don't like new faces or sounds or places at all
It's out of control, I don't know my role,
It's loud and it's scary, It makes me feel wary
Sometimes the world seems too big and I'm so small
Sometimes the world seems too big and I'm so small
The Skin You're In
We come from different places
Our stories aren’t the same
But you and I are works of art
In a common frame
We may speak different languages
Or have different holidays
But our differences connect us
In many special ways
I love the skin you’re in
It’s part of who you are
It doesn’t look like mine
But we’re both superstars
Our hair and eyes are different
But we’re birds of a feather
‘Cause our hearts are filled with music
And we can dance together
Even though we’re different
You can’t keep us apart
Because what’s most important
Is the joy inside our hearts
We’re learning from each other
And when all is said and done
We celebrate our differences
And we have so much fun
Some people just don’t get it
They wonder how we’re friends
But we can play and sing and dance
Our laughter never ends
Each of us is beautiful
And one thing I’m certain of:
You don’t have to look like me
To be someone that I love
Song for Addy
My best friend stands forty inches high
She's got tangles in her hair and a twinkle in her eye
She smells like adventure, and her cheeks have a glow
And fun and wonder follow wherever we may go
My best friend is funny, smart, and strong
On her face is a smile, in her heart there's a song
She's the brightest ray of sunshine you could ever hope to see
She adds sparkle to my spirit 'cause she's a friend to me
My best friend has mulberry-stained toes
There is mischief in her eye, she wears glasses on her nose
Her laughter sounds like music and she hasn't got a fear
My heart bubbles over whenever she is near
Taking Care of My Body
Taking care of my body
Gotta feed it right
I need to run and play
And get some sleep at night
I gotta take a bath
And keep my teeth clean too
Staying healthy and strong
My whole life through
I've gotta eat a good breakfast
And maybe meditate
Remember to be thankful
To start my day off great
Stretch all of my muscles
And fill my lungs with fresh air
Walk tall and strong
To show my body I care
I've gotta read and study
To keep my mind real strong
Then eat a healthy meal
When lunchtime comes along
I need to drink some water
Don't want to get too dry
And wash my hands
To de-germify
After my busy day
Home with my family
We're gonna eat a healthy dinner
And talk so happily
And when it's time for bed
I'll hug 'em all real tight
Maybe read a little story
Before I turn out the light
You're Never Too Old to Play
I’ve never met a swing set
That I didn’t like
And you should see the tricks I do
On my BMX bike
When I find balls to juggle
I toss them in the air
As long as I am playing
I haven’t got a care
I may look all grown up
But I’m a kid inside
I just can’t be too serious
There’s a unicycle to ride
I run and jump and climb and spin
That’s how I spend my day
I’m much too joyful to sit down
You’re never too old to play
With the Swiss rings or a bungee
I'm flying through the air
And when I'm on my trampoline
I jump without a care
And although my energy
Might fill my friends with awe
Even I get tired
And that's when I like to draw
