When your spirit says sing, you gotta sing right along,
You gotta sing when your spirit says sing.

WABASH CANNONBALL

From the wide Pacific Ocean
     to the broad Atlantic shore,
She climbs the flowery mountains
     over hills and by the shore,
Although she's tall and handsome,
     she's known quite well by all,
She's a regular combination,
     the Wabash Cannonball.

CHORUS:
Oh listen to the jingle,
      to the rumble and the roar,
As she flies along the woodlands,
     over hills and by the shore,
Hear the mighty rush of the engine,
     hear the merry hobo's squall,
As she rumble through the jungles,
     the Wabash Cannonball.

Now the eastern states are dandy
so the western people say,
From New York to St. Louis, Chicago, by the way,
Through the hills of Minnesota
where the rippling waters fall,
No chances to be taken on the Wabash Cannonball.

(CHORUS)

TRADITIONAL

DAY-O

CHORUS:
Day-o, me say day-o,
Daylight come and me wanna go home,
Day-n, me say day-o,
Daylight come and me wanna go home.

Work all night 'til the marriin' come,
Daylight come and me wanna go home,
Stack banana til the mornin' come,
Daylight come and me wanna go home.

Come mister tallyman, tally me banana,
Daylight come and me wanna go home,
Come mister tallyman, tally me banana,
Daylight come and me wanna go home.

A beautiful bunch o' ripe banana,
Daylight come and me wanna go home,
Lift six hand, seven hand, eight hand bunch,
Daylight come and me wanna go home.

Come mister tallyman, tally me banana,
Daylight come and me wanna go home,
Come mister tallyman, tally me banana,
Daylight come and me wanna go home.

(CHORUS)

Day-o, me say day-o,
Daylight come and me wanna go home.

TRADITIONAL

TING-A-LAY-O

CHORUS:
Ting-a-lay-o, run my little donkey, run,
Ting-a-lay-o, run my little donkey, run.

My donkey hee, my donkey haw,
My donkey sleep in a bed of straw,
My donkey short, my donkey wide,
Don't get too close to his back side.

(CHORUS)

My donkey walk, my donkey talk,
My donkey eats with a knife and fork,
My donkey eat, my donkey sleep,
My donkey kicks with his two hind feet.

(CHORUS)

My donkey laugh, my donkey cry,
My donkey loves peanut butter pie,
My donkey laugh, my donkey cry,
My donkey loves peanut butter pie,

(CHORUS twice)

MISTER SUN

Oh Mister Sun, Sun, Mister Golden Sun
Please shine dawn on me.
Oh Mister Sun, Sun, Mister Golden Sun
Hiding behind a tree.

These little children are asking you,
To please came out so we can play with you.
Oh Mister Sun, Sun, Mister Golden Sun
Please shine down on me.

Oh Mister Moon, Moon, bright and silvery moon.
Please shine down on me.
Oh Mister Moon, Moan, bright and silvery moon.
Come from behind that tree.

I like to ramble, I like to roam,
But I like to find myself at home.
When the moan, moan, bright and silvery moon,
Comes shine down on me.

TRADITIONAL

FATHER'S OLD GREY WHISKERS

I have a dear old daddy,
Far whom I nightly pray,
He has a set of whiskers,
They're always in the way.

CHORUS:
They're always in the way,
The cows eat them for hay,
They hide the dirt on Daddy's shirt,
They're always in the way.

Around the supper table,
We make a happy group,
Until dear father's whiskers,
Get tangled in the soup.

(CHORUS)

Father had a strong back,
But now it's all caved in,
He stepped upon his whiskers,
And walked up to his chin.

(CHORUS)

We have a dear old mother,
With him at night she sleeps,
She wakes up in the morning,
Eating shredded wheat.

(CHORUS twice)

TRADITIONAL

BABY BELUGA

Baby Beluga in the deep blue sea,
Swim so wild and swim so free;
Heaven above and the sea below,
And a little white whale on the go.

Baby Beluga, Baby Beluga,
Is the water warm,
Is your mama home,
With you so happy?

Way down yonder where the dolphins play,
Where you dive and splash all day,
Waves roll in and the waves roll out,
See the water squirtin' out of your spout.

Baby Beluga, Baby Beluga,
Sing your little song,
Sing for all your friends,
We like to hear you.

When it's dark, and you're home and fed,
Curl up snug in your water bed,
Moon is shining and the stars are out,
Good night, little whale good night.

Baby Beluga, Baby Beluga,
With tomorrow's sun, another day's begun,
You'll soon be waking.

Baby Beluga in the deep blue sea,
Swim so wild and swim so free;
Heaven above and the sea below,
And a little white whale on the go,
You're just a little white whale on the go.

And you want to have a little fun,

When you wake up in the morning
and it's quarter to five,
You're so happy to be alive,

DOWN BY THE BAY

Down by the bay, where the watermelons grow,
Back to my home, I dare not go,
For if I do, my mother will say...
Did you ever see a goose, kissing a moose,
Down by the bay?

Down by the bay, where the watermelons grow,
Back to my home, I dare not go,
For if I do, my mother will say...
Did you ever see a whale, with a polka dot tail,
Down by the bay?

Down by the bay, where the watermelons grow,
Back to my home, I dare not go,
For if I do, my mother will say...
Did you ever see a fly, wearing a tie,
Down by the bay?

Down by the bay, where the watermelons grow,
Back to my home, I dare not go,
For if I do, my mother will say...
Did you ever see a bear, combing his hair,
Down by the bay?

Down by the bay, where the watermelons grow,
Back to my home, I dare not go,
For if I do, my mother will say...
Did you ever see llamas, eating their pajamas,
Down by the bay?

Down by the bay, where the watermelons grow,
Back to my home, I dare not go,
For if I do, my mother will say...
Did you ever see an octopus, dancing with a platypus,
Down by the bay?

Down by the bay, where the watermelons grow,
Back to my home, I dare not go,
For if I do, my mother will say...
Did you ever have a time,
when you couldn't make a rhyme,
Down by the bay?

JAMAICA FAREWELL

Down the way where the nights are gay,
And the sun shines brightly on the mountaintop,
I took a trip on a sailing ship,
And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop.

CHORUS:
But I'm sad to say, I'm on my way,
Won't be back for many a day,
My heart is down, my head is turning around,
I miss all my friends in Kingston town.

Down at the market you can hear,
All the ladies cry Out while on their heads they bear,
Akie rice, salt fish are nice,
And the sun is fine any time of the year.

(CHORUS)

Sounds of laughter everywhere,
And the children sway to and fro,
I must declare that my heart is there,
Though I've been from Maine to Mexico.

(CHORUS twice)

APPLES AND BANANAS

I like to eat, eat, eat,
Apples and bananas;
I like to eat, eat, eat,
Apples and bananas;

I like to ate, ate, ate,
Ape-puls and ba-nay-nays;
I like to ate, ate, ate,
Ape-puls and ba-nay-nays;

I like to eat, eat, eat,
Ee-puls and bee-nee-nees;
I like to eat, eat, eat,

CHICKEN LIPS AND LIZARD HIPS

CHORUS:
Oh Chicken lips and lizard hips and alligator eyes,
Monkey legs and buzzard eggs and salamander thighs,
Rabbit ears and camel rears and tasty toenail pies,
Stir them all together, it's Mama's Soup Surpnse.

Oh, when I was a little kid I never liked to eat,
Mama'd put things on my plate,
I'd dump them on her feet.
But then one day she made this soup, I ate it all in bed,
I asked her what she put in it, and this is what she said.

(CHORUS)

I went into the bathroom and stood beside the sink,
I said I'm feeling slightly ill, I think I'd like a drink,
Mama said "I've just the thing, I'll get it in a wink,
It's full of lots of protein, and vitamins I think"

Sing golly wolly doodle all the day,
My feet stuck Out like a chicken roost,
Sing golly wolly doodle all the day.

THE FOX

Oh the fox went Out on a chilly night,
Preyed for the moon to give him light,
He'd many a mile to go that night,
Before he reached the town-o, town-o, town-o,
He'd many a mile to go that night,
Before he reached the town-o.

He ran until he came to a greet big bin,
The ducks end the geese were put therein,
Said a couple of you are going to grease my chin,
Before I leave this town-o, town-o, town-o,
He said a couple of you are going to grease my chin,
Before I leave this town-o.

He grabbed the grey goose by the neck,
Slung the little one over his beck,
He didn't mind their quack quack quack,
And the legs all dangling down-o, down-o down-o,
No he didn't mind their quack quack quack,
And the legs all dangling down-o.

Old mother pitter petter jumped nut of bed,
Out of the window she cocked her head,
Crying "John, John the grey goose is gone,
and the fox is on the town-o, town-o, town-o,"
Crying "John, John the grey goose is gone,
and the fox is on the town-o.'

John he went to the top of the hill,
Blew his horn both loud and shrill,
The fox he said "I better flee with my kill,
For he'll soon be on my trail-o, trail-o, trail-o."
The fox he said "I better flee with my kill,
For he'll soon be on my trail-o, trail-o.

He ran 'nil he came to his cozy den,
There were little ones, eight, nine, ten,
They said, 'Daddy, Daddy, you better go back again,
For it must be a mighty fine town-o, town-o, town-o,"
They said, "Daddy, Daddy, you better go back again,
For it must be a mighty fine town-o.

Then the fox and his wife without any stills,
Cut up the grey goose with a fork and a knife,
They never had such a supper in their life,
And the little ones chewed on the bones-o,
bones-o, bones-o,
They never had such a supper in their life,
And the little ones chewed on the bones-o.

TWINKLE, TWINKLE LITTLE STAR

Twinkle, twinkle little star,
How I wonder what you are,
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.

Twinkle, twinkle little star,
How I wonder what you are?

When I go to sleep at night,
Thanks for keeping me in sight,
Please keep watch upon the earth,
Keep it safe 'til morning light.

Twinkle, twinkle little star,
How I wonder what you are?

PUFF (THE MAGIC DRAGON)

Puff, the magic dragon, lived by the sea,
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land call Hanalee,
Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff,
And brought him strings and sealing wax
and other fancy stuff.

CHORUS:
Oh! Puff, the magic dragon, lived by the sea,
And frolicked in the autumn mist
in a land called Hanalee,
Puff, the magic dragon, lived by the sea,
And frolicked in the autumn mist
in a land called Hanalee,

Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail,
Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puff's gigantic tail,
Noble kings and princes would bow when'er they came,
Pirate ships would low'r their flag when Puff roared Out his name.

(CHORUS)

A dragon lives forever but not so little boys,
Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys,
One grey night it happened,
Jackie Paper came no more,
And Puff that mighty dragon,
he ceased his fearless roar.

His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain,
Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane,
Without his lifelong friend, Puff could not be brave,
So Puff that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his cave.

MORNINGTOWN RIDE

Train whistle blowing, makes a sleepy noise,
Underneath their blankets, go all the girls and boys,
Heading from the station, Out along the bay,
All bound for Momingtown, many miles away.

Sarah's at the engine, Tony rings the bell,
John swings the lantern, to show that all is well,
Rocking, rolling, riding, out along the bay,
All bound for Morningtown, many miles away.

Maybe it is raining, where our train will ride,
But all the little travelers are snug and wann inside,
Somewhere there is sunshine, somewhere there is day,
Somewhere there is Morningtown, many miles away.

SANDWICHES

CHORUS:
Sandwiches are beautiful, sandwiches are fine.
I like sandwiches, I eat them all the time;
I eat them for my supper and I eat them for my lunch;
If I had a hundred sandwiches, I'd eat them all at once.

I'm a roaming and a rambling and a wandering all along,
And if you care to listen, I will sing a happy song.
I will not ask a favor and I will not ask a fee,
But if you have a sandwich, won't you give a bite to me?

(CHORUS)

Once I went to England, I visited the Oueen,
I swear she was the grandest lady that I've ever seen,
I told her she was beautiful and could not ask for more,
She handed me a sandwich
and she threw me Out the door.

(CHORUS)

A sandwich may be egg or cheese
or even peanut butter,
But they all taste so good to me, it doesn't even matter;
Jam or ham or cucumber, any kind will do.
I like sandwiches, how about you?

RIG A JIG JIG

As I was walking down the street,
Down the street, down the street,
A very good friend I chanced to meet;
Hi Ho Hi Ho Hi Ho.

CHORUS:
Rig a jig jig and away we go,
Away we go, away we go.
Rig a jig jig and away we go,

We clapped our hands and stomped our feet,
Stomped our feet, stomped our feet,

We climbed on a train and tooted the horn,
Tooted the horn, tooted the horn,

Kissed my ma and hugged my pa,
Hugged my pa, hugged my pa,
Kissed my ma and hugged my pa,

FOOBA-WOOBA JOHN

Saw a snail chase a whale,
Fooba-wooba, fooba-wooba.
Saw a snail chase a whale, Fooba-wooba John.
Saw a snail chase a whale, All around the water pail.
Hey, John, ho, John, Fooba-wooba John.

Saw a frog chase a dog, Fooba-wooba, fooba-wooba.
Saws frog chase a dog, Fooba-wooba John.
Saw a frog chase a dog, Sitting on a hollow log.
Hey, John, ho, John, Fooba-wooba John.

Saw a flea kick a tree, Fooba-wooba, fooba-wooba.
Saw a flea kick a tree, Fooba-wooba John.
Saw a flea kick a tree, In the middle of the sea.
Hey, John, ho, John, Fooba-wooba John.

Heard a cow say me-ow, Fooba-wooba, tooba-wooba.
Heard a cow say me-ow, Fooba-wooba John.
Heard a cow say me-ow, Then I heard it say bow-wow.
Hey, John, ho, John, Fooba-wooba John.

THE DESPERADO

CHORUS:
For a bold bad man was this desperado,
From Badman's Gulch way down in Colorado.
And he rode around like a big tornado,
And everywhere he went he gave his BIG whoop-Hey!

He was a desperado from the wild and woolly West,
But evry now and then he'd go and give the West a rest,
He'd saddle up his horse,
put on his spurs and leather vest,
And everywhere he went he gave his BIG whoop-Hey!

He had a skunk named Arnie
      but he thought he was a hat,
He'd put him up on top his head
      and wear him just like that,
And everywhere they'd go the peopled point
      and say what's that,
And Arnie'd wag his tail and give his BIG whoop-HEY!

(CHORUS)

He had a horse named Lightnin'
but she wasn't very quick,
She never liked to run
but she could snort and buck and kick,
And when our Desperado saddled up and gave a kick,
She'd throw him so you'd really hear his BIG whoop! Hey!

(CHORUS)

THE BUS SONG

The wheels on the bus go round and round,
round and round, round and round.
The wheels on the bus go round and round,
All through the town.

The wipers on the bus go, "Swish, swish, swish,
Swish, swish, swish; swish, swish, swish.'

All through the town.

The horn on the bus goes, "Beep, beep, beep,
Beep, beep, beep; beep, beep, beep."
The horn on the bus goes, "Beep, beep, beep,"
All through the town.

The gas on the bus goes, "Glunk, glunk, glunk,
Glunk, glunk, glunk; glunk, glunk, glunk."
The gas on the bus goes, "Clunk, glunk, glunk."
All through the town.

The money on the bus goes, "Clink, clink, clink,
Clink, clink, clink, clink, clink, clink."
The money on the bus goes, "Clink, clink, clink,"
All through the town.

The baby on the bus says, ' Wah, wah, wah!
Wah, wah, wah! Wah, wah, wah!"
The baby on the bus says, "Wah, wah, wah!"
All through the town.

The mommy on the bus says, "I love you,

LAVENDER'S BLUE

CHORUS:
Lavender's blue, dilly dilly, lavender's green,
When you are King, dilly dilly, I shall be Queen.
Who told you so, dilly dilly, who told you so?
'Twas my own heart, dilly dilly, that told me so.

Call up your friends, dilly dilly, set them to work.
Some to the plough, dilly dilly, some to the fork;
Some to the hay, dilly dilly, some to cut corn;
While you and I, dilly dilly, keep ourselves warm.

A-TURNING IN MY HEART

There's a little wheel a-turning in my heart,

There's a little song a-singing in my heart,
There's a little song a-singing in my heart,
In my heart, in my heart,
There's a little song a-singing in my heart.

There's a little frog a-leaping in my heart,
There's a little frog a-leaping in my heart,
In my heart, in my heart,
There's a little frog a-leaping in my heart.

I see the sun a-rising in my heart,
I see the sun a-rising in my heart,
In my heart, in my heart,

OL' TEXAS

I'm gonna leave ol' Texas now,
They've got no use for the long-horned cow.
They've plowed and fenced my cattle range,
And the people there are all so strange.

I'll take my horse, I'll take my rope,
And hit the trail upon a lope;
I'll bid Adios to the Alamo,
And turn my head toward Mexico.

GHOST RIDERS IN THE SKY
(A COWBOY LEGEND)

An old cowpoke went riding out
     one dark and windy day,
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way,
When all at once a mighty herd
     of red-eyed cows he saw,
A-plowing through the ragged skies
      and up a cloudy draw.
Yipee-yi-ay, Yipee-yi-oh, Ghost Riders in the sky.

Their brands were still on fire
      and their hooves were made of steel,
Their horns were black and shiny
      and their hot breath he could feel,
A bolt of fear went through him
      as they thundered through the sky,
For he saw the riders coming hard
      and heard their mournful cry.
Yipee-yi-ay, Yipee-yi-oh, Ghost Riders in the sky.

Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred,
their shirts were soaked with sweat,
They're riding hard to catch that herd
but they ain't got 'em yet.
They have to ride forever on that range up in the sky,
On horses breathing fire, as they ride I hear them cry.
Yipee-yi-ay, Yipee-yi-oh, Ghost Riders in the sky.

The riders loped on by him
      and he heard one call his name,
"If you want to save your hide
      and soul a-ridin' on this range
Then cowboy, change your ways today
      or with us you will ride,
Trying to catch the devil's herd across the endless sky."
Yipee-yi-ay, Yipee-yi-oh, Ghost Riders in the sky.

Samba bamba, bamba bamba, bamba bamba,
Para bailer la bamba, para bailar la bamba
Se necesita una poca de gracia,
Una poca de gracia, y otra cosita,
Arriba arriba, y arriba arriba,
arriba ire porti sere, porti sere.

Samba bamba, bamba bamba, bamba bamba,
Lets dance with the music,
Let's dance with the music.
When we dance we sing a song,
We sing a song of thanks,
And clap our hands and we go
Faster and faster, higher and higher, louder and louder.

BOOM, BOOM, AIN'T IT GREAT
TO BE CRAZY

CHORUS:
Boom, Boom ain't it great to be crazy,
Boom, Boom ain't great to be crazy,
Giddy and foolish all day long,
Boom, Boom, ain't it great to be crazy.

Way down South where bananas grow,
A flea stepped on an elephant's toe.
The elephant cried with tears in his eyes,
"Why don't you pick on someone your own size?"

(CHORUS)

Late last night I had a real strange dream,
Ate a nine pound marshmallow momma gave me.
When I woke up I knew something was wrong,
I looked around, saw my pillow was gone.

CLUCK, CLUCK, RED HEN

Baa, baa, black sheep, have you any wool?
Yes sire, yes sir, three bags full,
One for your sweater and one for your rug,
One for your blanket to keep you warm and snug.

Cluck, cluck red hen, have you any eggs?
Yes sir, yes sir, as many as your legs,
One for your breakfast and one for your lunch,
Come back tomorrow I'll have another bunch.

Moo, moo, brown cow, have you milk for me?
Yes sir, yes sir, as tasty as can be,
Churn it into butter, make it into cheese,
Freeze it into ice cream or drink it if you please.

Buzz, buzz, busy bee, is your honey sweet?
Yes sir, yes sir, sweet enough to eat,
Honey on your muffin, honey on your cake,
Honey by the spoonful, as much as I can make.

Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full.

I've got the world's most singable song,
It's got a hey and a hum and a
diddley-dum,
And I hope you'll sing along.

It's kind of a help-along song,
It can help you Out when things go wrong.
When you're feeling sad, when your day's gone bad,
Hey dum diddley dum.

OLD CHISHOLM TRAIL

Well, come along friends, listen to my tale;
I'll tell you my troubles on the old Chisholm trail.
Come-a ti yi yippy, yippy, yay, yippy yay!
Come-a ti yi yippy, yippy, yay!

On a ten-dollar horse, a forty-dollar saddle,
I started Out a-punchin' those long-horned cattle.
Come-a ti yi yippy, yippy, yay, yippy yay!
Come-a ti yi yippy, yippy, yay!

I'm up in the morning before daylight;
Before I get to sleep the moon's shining bright.
Come-a ti yi yippy, yippy, yay, yippy yay!
Come-a ti yi yippy, yippy, yay1

It's bacon and beans 'most every day,
I'd sooner be a-eatin' the prairie hay.
Come-a ti yi yippy, yippy, yay, yippy yay!
Come-a ti yi yippy, yippy, yay!

I'll sell my outfit just as soon as I can,
'Cause I ain't punchin' cattle for no mean boss man.
Come-a ti yi yippy, yippy, yay, yippy yay!
Come-a ti yi yippy, yippy, yay!

With my knees in the saddle, my seat in the sky,
I'll quit punchin' cattle in the sweet by an' by.
Come-a ti yi yippy, yippy, yay, yippy yay!
Come-a ti yi yippy, yippy, yay1

His ears flip flop, his tail wig wags,
And when he walks, he walks zig

He always runs the other way.

ROCKIN' ROBIN

He rocks in the treetops all day long,
Hoppin and a-boppin and a-singin his song.
All the little birdies on i-Bird Street,
Love to hear the robin go tweet, tweet, tweet.

CHORUS:
Rockin' robin (tweet, tweet, tweet)~
Rockin' robin (tweet, tweedle-dee)
Go rockin' robin, we're really gonna rock tonight.

Every little swallow, every chickadee,
Every little bird in the tall oak tree,
The wise old owl, the big black crow,
Flappin' their wings singin' go bird, go.

The pretty little raven and the red-rock hen,
Talkin' how the robin was boppin' again,
He started goin' steady and "bless my soul,"
He out-bopped the buzzard and oriole.

He rocks in the treetops all day long,
Hoppin' and a-boppin' and a-singin' his song.
All the little birdies on i-Bird Street,
Love to hear the robin go tweet, tweet, tweet.

Go rockin' robin, we're really gonna rock tonight.

MAIL MYSELF TO YOU

I'm gonna wrap myself in paper,
I'm gonna daub myself with glue,
Stick some stamps on top of my head,
I'm gonna mail myself to you.

I'm gonna tie me up in a red string,
I'm gonna tie blue ribbons too,
I'm gonna climb up in my mailbox,
I'm gonna mail myself to you.

When you see me in your mailbox,
Cut the string and let me out,
Wash the glue off of my fingers,
Stick some bubble gum in my mouth.

Take me out of my wrapping paper,
Wash the stamps off of my head,
Pour me full of ice cream sodies,
Put me in my nice warm bed.

MRS. MURPHY'S CHOWDER

Won't you bring back, won't you bring back Mrs. Murphy's chowder?
It was tuneful, ev'ry spoonful made you yodel louder.
After dinner Uncle Ben used to fill his fountain pen
From a bowl of Mrs. Murphy's chowder.

CHORUS:
There was ice cream, cold cream, benzine, gasoline,
Soup beans, string beans, floating all around.
Sponge cake, beef steak, mistake, stomach ache,
Cream puffs, ear muffs, many to be found.
Silk hats, door mats, bed slats, Democrats,
Cow bells, door bells, beckon you to dine.
Meat balls, fish balls, moth balls, cannon balls.
Come on in, the chowder's fine!

(CHORUS)

Won't you bring back, won't you bring back Mrs. Murphy's chowder?
It was tuneful, ev'ry spoonful made you yodel louder.
If they had it where you are, you might find a motor car,
In a bowl of Mrs. Murphy's chowder.
