Baby Brother
baby brother in his stroller
he's a little rock and roller
mama takes him for a spin
round and round the block again
he's got his blankey
he's got his binky
he's had his diaper changed
he ain't too stinky
bay brother in his high-chair
flings his breakfast up in the air
fingers and face all full of food
daddy says "You're one sloppy dude!"
he's in his onesie
he's in his booties
Grandma's always sayin
"ooh! he's such a cutie!
one day he'll be walkin'
one day he'll be talkin'
but even when he's six foot three
he'll still be baby brother to me
baby brother in his crib
cool and droolin' on his bib
drinkin' juice from a sippy cup
and he smiles when I pick him up
I'll be so happy
when he's a little older
'cause then he won't be spittin' up
all over my shoulder
one day he'll be walkin'
one day he'll be talkin'
but even when he's six foot three
he'll still be baby brother to me
The Leftovers
the leftovers are coming to get me
the leftovers are coming to get me
I left them in the fridge too long
now something has gone horribly wrong
they've opened the refrigerator door
they're marching across the kitchen floor
the leftovers are coming to get me
the leftovers are coming to get me
A bowl of chili from last year
has sprouted legs and feet and ears
some chicken chow mien there in the back
is mounting a surprise attack!
the leftovers are coming to get me
the leftovers are coming to get me
(spoken)
a bucket of wings, a bowl of beans
some boiled eggs that are turning green
a slice of cake from a birthday bash
a meatball that has grown a mustache
a couple of fishes that once were delicious
a half eaten plate o' potato knishes
they're nasty and rotten
and they will not be forgotten!
the leftovers are coming to get me
the leftovers are coming to get me
and as I'm sleeping in the midnight gloom
they all march right into my room
a legion dressed in moldy green and grey
I wake up to hear them say
"You must eat us anyway! You must eat us anyway!"
the leftovers are coming to get me
the leftovers are coming to get me....
Code Id By Doze (Cold in My Nose)
Oh, I have a code id by doze
I have a code id by doze
I can't smell a rose
I can't smell your toes
Oh, I have a code id by doze
I'm breathing through my mouth
I'm eating chicken soup
my nose is all stuffed up
with a bunch of nasty goop
I'm drinking lots of tea
I'm drinking lots of juice
but that goop up in my nose
just isn't coming loose
repeat chorus
my sister is outside
playing in the sun
it's just not fair that I'm in here
not having any fun
I say, "I'm feeling better!"
my Mom says "stay in bed!
until you're rid of all that stuff
that's clogging up your head"
repeat chorus
bridge:
Is the worst part all the sneezing?
No, it's not!
Is the worst part all the wheezing?
No, it's not!
Is the worst part when you're freezing
but then you feel too hot
I told you twice, now three times more
it's not it's not
IT'S SNOT!
repeat chorus
my dog ran in the house
she'd been sprayed by a skunk
my family, they passed
'cause I guess she really stunk
she jumped up on my bed
I didn't even mind
I gave her a great big hug and said,
"To me you smell just fine!"
repeat chorus
Are You Gonna Eat That?
my brother was still eating his lunch
and I was already done
he had a fine lookin' french fry on his plate
it was his very last one
I kept thinkin' he would eat it
but he just never did
I couldn't take it any more, so I finally said....
are you gonna eat that? 3x
cause if you don't want it, I'll take it off your hands
I went out for pizza with my Mom
and it was so nice
next thing I knew we were down to
the very last slice
she picked it up with a quickness
so she left me no choice
I batted my eyes, and said in my sweetest voice
are you gonna eat that? 3x
cause if you don't want it, I'll take it off your hands
I know it's nice to share
I know it shows you care
in fact I do it every single day
but I can't help the way I feel
when I see someone else's meal
it just looks better than mine - and so I say
are you gonna eat that? 3x
cause if you don't want it, I'll take it off your hands
there was one lonely hamburger
sittin' on the barbecue
so I put it on a bun
with some ketchup and some mustard too
'cause it didn't even matter to me
that it was well well well done
my Dad looked at me like I was crazy
then he said, "now, son..."
are you gonna eat that? 3x
cause if you don't want it, I'll take it off your hands
Dust Bunny
I found him underneath my bed
behind an old shoebox
next to a plateful of crumbs
and some dirty socks
I wondered where he came from
I wondered what he was
not a kitten or a mouse
just a little ball of fuzz
I brought him out into the light
I didn't want to give him a fright
I said, "There, there - it'll be alright..."
I asked my Mom if I could keep him
she said, "Well,...if you insist"
He was so cute and soft
well how could she resist
he doesn't need to be fed or walked
or taken to the vet
he doesn't bark or whine
he's the very best pet
and I named him Fred
and used that shoebox for his bed
"You're pretty weird," my brother said
chorus
He's my dust bunny
He's not a real rabbit, I know
He's my dust bunny
and you might think it's funny
but I love him - I love him so
One day I came home from school
and he was not there in his box
he was not under the bed
with those dirty socks
I asked my Mom if she had seen him
she said, "What did you just say?"
and I said, "Have you seen Fred?"
she said, "He must have run away."
and I'll admit, I shed a tear
or maybe it was three
but I knew in my heart
Fred should be free
repeat chorus
Every Day Is A Summer Day
this morning I looked outside
it was snowin'
the wind was blowin' around and around
oh no!
the guy on the radio
said it was ten below
said it was ten below zero
so I put my Hawaiian shirt
some shorts and shades
I closed my eyes, and imagined
I was drinkin' some cool lemonade
'cause every day, every day
is a summer day
in my mind
three weeks ago
I stubbed my toe (my big toe)
on my bedroom door
I got so mad
and it hurt so bad
I sat myself right down there
on the floor
but then I shut my eyes
and I got a tropical notion
I imagined I was at the beach
dippin' that toe in the ocean
'cause every day, every day
is a summer day
in my mind
when it's raining and pouring
and I'm stuck in the house and it's boring
and my Dad's on the couch and he's snoring
and my sister is being a pain (in the neck)
I don't need to hop on a train
I don't need to get on a plane
I don't even need to complain
I just use my brain!
I close my eyes
and visualize
'cause every day, every day
is a summer day
in my mind
Watchin' All the Cars Go By
there goes a minivan full up with kids
Dad in the front seat flippin' his lid
and I wonder where they're going
little red sports car, top rolled down
the driver is a circus clown
and I wonder where he's going
every one has a place to be
every one has a story for me
they just keep comin'
and I wonder why
I'm just sittin' in the window watchin' all the cars go by
little old lady in a big brown clunker
teenager boy in his Dad's old junker
and I wonder where they're going
limousine, all slick and black
bet there's a rock star in the back
and I wonder where she's going
every one has a place to be
every one has a story for me
they just keep comin'
and I wonder why
I'm just sittin' in the window watchin' all the cars go by
one day I'll get in my electric car
I'll drive it near, I'll drive it far
and I wonder where I'm going
I'll see some kid up in a window
he's just watchin' all the cars go by
wonderin' where they're goin' to
every one has a place to be
every one has a story for me
they just keep comin'
and I wonder why
I'm just sittin' in the window watchin' all the cars go by
Bug In The Tub
ewww - ewww!
blah! blah! blah!
there's a bug in the tub
a feaky little creepy crawly thing
he's very ugly
he's very bug-ly
and he's a-runnin' round the bathtub ring
repeat chorus
I said, "Now, shoo, bug!"
"Be gone with you bug!"
but he he just wouldn't go away
he's on the soap now
and there's no hope now
that I'm gettin' in the shower today
repeat chorus
now I don't mind a little hair in the drain
shampoo in your eyes, well, that's a pain
and I'm not one to complain
but Mom, you've got to know
either he goes, or I go
I scooped him up
in a cup
but then he crawled right onto my hand
I sent him flyin'
then I was cryin'
"Oh no! where did he land?"
repeat chorus
I checked the floor
and behind the door
but he was nowhere around
I checked my left foot
I checked my right foot....
guess who I just found?
repeat chorus
Spork
When I decided to write a crazy dance party song, I knew that Gordon Beadle's tenor saxophone was what I wanted to hear. Thanks Gordon! In case you're wondering, a spork is a combination of a spoon and a fork. All I know is, it's a fun word to say. Try it yourself!
