Let's Start a Band
02:32
|

Lyrics:
A sleepy Sunday, cooped up inside
Tappin' fingers on the tabletop
Just watchin' how the sun goes wanderin' by
So let's raid the kitchen, grab all we can get
Then take my hand and join me in my best idea yet
Let's start a band, let's start a band
I bet that all these instruments could use an extra hand
Let's start a band, let's start a band
And write a song that only we will understand
The ideas are flowin', notes fill up the page
Our stuffies are our audience and the countertop's our stage
We'll write a catchy ditty or a meaningful lament
Our cat will be our meownager and we'll owe him ten percent
Let's start a band, let's start a band
Sing it loud, don't worry if it don't come out as planned
Let's start a band, let's start a band
And write a song that only we will understand
We don't need a drumset, we can bang on pans and pots
Blow into this bottle and let's see what sound we've got
Hold two spoons together and then knock 'em on your knee
I'll do my best to whistle up a brand new melody
Alright, c'mon!
And one day we'll become big stars
And eat nice meals in fancy cars
But right now in this kitchen I'm content
So let's play our songs and sing 'em loud
Oh won't our family be so proud
When our platinum-selling album pays the rent

Lyrics:
You waltz in with your fancy shoes
You say hello, how do you do?
And I know that is only just the start
So I sit down, open up my ears
Listen to the words you want me to hear
As you begin to open up your heart
Chatterbox, you love conversation
Chatterbox, without hesitation
You open up your mind and let the thoughts run free
Speech bubbles linger above you
And there's one thing that I'm sure of
You can chat, chat, chat, chat, chat all day to me
Other folks, they get too busy
With their cares and worries
Thick briefcases, lots of places to get to in a hurry
But you, my friend, have found the secret to a happy life
You talk about the joyful things
That keep your noggin bright
Chatterbox, full of information
Chatterbox, with perfect dictation
You open up your mind and let the thoughts run free
Speech bubbles linger above you
And there's one thing that I'm sure of
You can chat, chat, chat, chat, chat, chat, chat, chat,
Chat, chat, chat, chat, chat, chat, chat, chat,
Chat, chat, chat, chat, chat all day to me

Good Day
03:19
|

Lyrics:
Looking out the window, another storm's begun
Sometimes life can give you rain when you hoped for sun
But don't let those drops of rain turn into teardrops on your face
A little bit of water won't hurt us anyways
It's a good day for these clouds to fill the sky
And I'll be okay 'cause I'm right here by your side
The weather just might make us wet
But we'll shake it off with no regret
'Cause change doesn't mean we have to hide
It's a good day to go outside
So put on your rain boots and I'll meet you in the yard
Try to look up at the rain but it's falling pretty hard
So we'll splash around and make a fuss
Like the whole wide world is just for us
And if anybody asks us why we'll say, hey
It's a good day for these clouds to fill the sky
And I'll be okay 'cause I'm right here by your side
Rainy days are guaranteed
But I know I've got all I need
'Cause change doesn't mean we have to hide
It's a good day to go outside
All that thunder's growing loud
And a thick layer of darkness fills the clouds
But I'm not fazed by any flashing skies or rumbling sounds
'Cause I know I'm alright when you're around
It's a good day for these clouds to fill the sky
And I'll be okay 'cause I'm right here by your side
The weather just might make us wet
But we'll shake it off with no regret
'Cause change doesn't mean we have to hide
It's a good day to go outside

Lyrics:
I tell ye a tale, 'tis sad but true
Of seven old pirates on the S.S. Bucktoo
The finest of sailors, the nicest of ships
There's just one teensy problem we have to deal with
The pirates with aquaphobia!
We sail around the world, me mateys and me
As long as the journey doesn't involve any sea
When people see us sailing, they don't quite understand
Why we only sail our ships upon the land
We're the pirates (yo ho ho!)
We're the pirates (yo ho ho!)
We're the pirates with aquaphobia!
The days are dragging on and the sun is getting hotter
But no matter what we do, we're not getting in the water!
They say that there's no treasure here and that may be true
But we enjoy sailing through every drive-thru
(Do ye take gold doubloons?)
I don't want to sail upon the sea,
Land pirate life is the pirate life for me!
(x6)
We're the pirates (yo ho ho!)
We're the pirates (yo ho ho!)
We're the pirates with aquaphobia!
Yo ho!

Invisible Friend
01:59
|
|||
Lyrics:
No matter where I go, I'm sure she won't be far behind
However fast I run, I know she'll catch up every time
On my walk to school, she peeks out from behind a tree
And when I'm feeling shy, she always stands in front of me
And though the chair I'm saving
Might just look empty to you
My invisible friend wants dinner too
She's the bravest person that I think I've ever seen
If courage was a kingdom, I know she would be the queen
She jumps off the swingset so high she says she can see Mars
And when I ride my bike, she can balance on the handlebars
And when I'm scared to swim
She can dive straight into the deep
My invisible friend can take the leap
And when I'm scared to swim
She can dive straight into the deep
My invisible friend can take the leap

Lyrics:
Hide, hide and seek
I'll put my hands over my eyes
You can find a place to hide and I won't peek
Hide, hide and seek
Well this search party is going
And you know I'm gonna keep my winning streak
I'm looking everywhere, so far very unaware
Heard your giggle in the air and turned around but you're not there
Maybe I'll try singing all the lyrics to your favourite song
And hope that you just can't resist the urge to stop and sing along
Are you here, are you there?
Can you feel my sneaky stare?
Tried to yell out Marco but there was no Polo anywhere
Can't find your location, it's leading to frustration
Did you forget about our game and take a long vacation?
Hide, hide and seek
I'll put my hands over my eyes
You can find a place to hide and I won't peek (probably)
Hide, hide and seek
Well this search party is going
And you know I'm gonna keep my winning streak
Hide and seek, is it on? Oh, you bet it is!
If you seek, imma hide any evidence
That I was here or there or there, I scan the premises
Couch cookie crumbs slipping in the crevices
I'm the silliest when I'm in my element
That's when you can spot me like a skinny pink elephant
Frozen in a pose with my giant stuffed Jollibee
When you see me, imma beeline, olly olly oxen free!
The game my friends has just begun
Gonna search all day 'til the searching's done
Ready or not, here I come
Getting warmer, think you're hiding here
Tell me, are you in this room?
Oops, I'll quiet down so you don't know I'm near
Something's moving, oh, a clue, is that blanket hiding you?
Creep behind before too long I see you lying there
I hold my breath and then the song goes
Hide, hide and seek
The game is nearly over
And I don't want you to know I'm getting weak
Hide, hide and seek
'Cause I've looked all afternoon
And if I don't find you soon I'm gonna freak!

Park Song
02:04
|
|||
Lyrics:
Meet you in the park at half past noon
I may take a little while but you know I'll be there soon
Then I can strum the chord and you write the line
The melody just kicks in every time
And I know that we've got aways to go
And I know there'll be times when I'm alone
I could fly right through the clouds, take a trip up to the moon
But I'll never find another friend like you
Sometimes I don't really like to sing
I'd rather button up my lip, then not share anything
But I know there's no better place to hide
Than with you watching movies warm inside
And I know that we've got aways to go
And I know there'll be times when I'm alone
I could wander anywhere, who knows what I'll get up to
Still I know I've always got a friend like you
Oh, we'll grow up or so I'm told
Oh, let the new chapters unfold
Oh, we may go down separate roads
I know
Meet you in the dark under the moon
We'll just stay a little while 'cause it's getting cold out soon
But for now the stars are out and I wrote this little tune
I'm so happy that I found a friend like you

Shadows Dance
01:44
|
|||
Lyrics:
Shadows dance across the kitchen wall
Beckoning come one, come all
Huddle close, we'll wander through the scene
Catching whispers from a place unseen
How dreamy are the hours we spend
With shadows out to play
From when I first open my eyes
I can't wait for the end of the day
Doves soar in the corners of the room
We've got quite a zoo
There's a kid who's waving from the wall
They look like me but tall
Oh how I love the world we've found
Where all the light shines through
Making mountains afar under twinkle light stars
And sharing it with you

On the Front Porch
03:07
|
|||
Lyrics:
Three creaky wooden stairs
Those squeaky rocking chairs
The well worn welcome mat
The lattice vines, the happy times
All I wanna do when the day is through
Is linger here on the front porch with you
From the wicker swing, while the night birds sing
We'll watch the fireflies sparkin', do some sparkin' to
How the hours fly, as the moon drifts by
How sweet the air as we stare at the sky
Oh how I love to linger here like this,
Hold your hand, it's utter bliss for two
On the front porch with you
How the hours fly, as the moon drifts by
How sweet the air as we stare at the sky
Oh how I love to linger here like this,
Hold your hand, it's utter bliss for two
On the front porch with you

Soup
00:30

Lyrics:
My grandma makes a really nice soup
She cooks it up every day
But there's one question on my mind
And it just won't go away
Do you drink soup or do you eat it?
Do you drink soup or do you eat it?
Do you drink soup or do you eat it?
I don't know so I'll just repeat it
Do you drink soup or do you eat it?
Do you drink soup or do you eat it?
The only thing that I know now
Is I'll have to reheat it
