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!

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
9.
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
10.
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
