I like dancing And I know you do Let's start dancing Now I've got a question for you What does it take To make you shake? What does it take To make you shake? What does it take To make you shake? What does it take To make you dance? To make you dance! Do you need a drum To help you find the beat? If you had a drum Could you move your feet? How about that bass? Well it plays down low It makes the song move And now we can groove! (Chorus) Do you need a piano? Did you say yes? *YES!* Well I play the piano And I'll try my best. Oh there're so many, so many, so many Instruments I've seen But sometimes the best thing for dancing Is a tambourine! Like this! (Chorus)

See that bed over there With the blankets scattered everywhere You could get under those And that would be alright But for a really good night, For a really good night You've got to find somebody To tuck you in tight I'm tuckered out Tuck me in I really wanted a blanket Under my chin Tuck me in so I can go to sleep 'cause I'd like to be counting sheep Last night the cold froze my toes I lost my sheets and I couldn't find my pillow And that wasn't cozy at all I like to dream BIG I never dream small And if you don't tuck me in I won't be dreaming at all! (Chorus)

Best Pillow in the World Best Pillow in the World Best Pillow in the World Best Pillow in the World (repeat!) Well my first pillow was alright But it used to keep me up at night Toss and turn, toss and turn That pillow was too firm My second pillow was OK But I don't have too much else to say It was too lumpy, too lumpy I used to wake up grumpy But now all my troubles have gone away I got a brand new pillow today Not too thin and not too thick My new pillow is so perfect! (Chorus) Well I wasn't happy with number three That pillow was never good too me It was too soft, too soft Put my head down and it got lost And number four out the door Soon as I saw it I was sure It was too ugly, too ugly Polka dots? They always bugged me! But now all my troubles have gone away I got a brand new pillow today Not too thin and not too thick My new pillow is so perfect! (Chorus) Well it's not too thin It's not too thick It's perfect It's perfect Not too lumpy Not too lumpy I don't wake up grumpy anymore! And it's not too firm Not too firm I don't toss and turn Don't toss and turn It's not too thin It's not too thick My new pillow is so perfect! My new pillow is so perfect!

Rutabaga 02:58
Gonna go go go go Down to the farmers' market Gonna go go go go Down to the farmers' market Gonna ride ride ride ride My bicycle and park it When I go go go go Down to the farmers' market Down to the farmers' market Well it's Saturday Morning and i just woke up Want eggs on my plate and juice in my cup And Bread (real bread!) that was baked today And I like flowers gonna get a bouquet Better hurry up to the farmers' market Better hurry up to the farmers' market (Chorus) Well in springtime there's asparagus And rhubarb too if you're adventurous In summer time there's summer squash And in the fall and winter, well there's winter squash (Chorus)

Broccoli Yet 02:25
lyrics Well I'm not so into being Tired When I jump up and down I feel so inspired For a half a second I can touch the sky Then the ground says hello and my feet say goodbye! And I Jump up and down Jump up and down Jump up and down Jump up and down (repeat!) So come on everybody, let's jump together When we Jump and Down we're light like a feather No matter if you were feeling low Bounce to the beat and let's go go go (Chorus) Every time I see, that face wear a frown I wanna help you find your smile in the lost and found So put on your sneakers and give it a try For a half a second I can touch the sky then the ground says hello and my feet say goodbye! (Chorus)

I don't like broccoli yet But maybe one day I don't like broccoli yet But one day I may There're plenty of other vegetables out there That are friends of mine So broccoli... broccoli, Let's just give it some time Well broccoli You know you look like little trees made of wood And the last time I checked Little trees didn't taste that good If a broccoli floret Is as good as it gets Well I'm sorry broccoli But I'm not ready yet (Chorus) Well now I understand That it might not be your fault I might have had a bad taste in my mouth Or you could have been cooked in too much salt And for that reason I'm prepared to make you deal I promise I'll try you again, broccoli At some other meal! But for now.... (Chorus)

Dilly Beans 02:11
I've got a collection of All the neatest stuff I've got a collection of All the neatest stuff One just wasn't enough One just wasn't enough, no! If you want to build a little house I got so many kinds of blocks If you want to keep your feet warm I've got 300 pairs of socks What time is it? Oh I always know 'cause I've got 12 different clocks And I've even got 100 keys That fit 100 locks I've got 17 rocks 36 fishes 3 birthday cakes Yeah i collect wishes 1 shaggy dog 2 indoor cats And uh, let me show you my baseball caps (Chorus) Do You Like to read? I've got so many books You can color in some or learn how to cook Open one up and give it a look See you learned something good And that's all that it took.... I've got 8 sunglasses And I got 4 kites When I ride to the park I ride 1 of 2 bikes 5 mirrors For 5 reflections And watch where you step that's my cactus collection... (Chorus) My mom's got a room full of fine antiques I once tried to collect all the days in the week My recorder collects all the words that I speak Everything I collect is just so unique Only 1 piano But 88 keys Even my sandwich has 3 kinds of cheese My garbage can collects my debris And at school I collect only A's and B's (Chorus)

Can you see the Blue Sky Moon Up above in the afternoon Nighttime will be coming soon But I've still got my Blue Sky Moon Well I was riding on my bike Pedaling down the street I like Sky was blue and the sun was bright Then I saw the moon to my delight And I was sitting up in a tree Strumming my ukulele And from my branch well I did spy The moon up in that blue blue sky! (Chorus) Well I was on my knees and hands Finding seashells in the sand I heard a plane fly up above I looked and saw the moon I love And I was napping on a hill Summer day and the air was still And when I woke, to my surprise I saw the moon there way up high (Chorus) (Guitar Solo by Mike!) You're never looking for it when it happens But sometimes it's there The moon in the daytime And I love that! (Chorus)

Tambourine 03:08
Gotta be a bean, gotta be a dilly bean Gotta be a bean, gotta be a dilly bean Gotta be a bean, gotta be a dilly bean Gotta be a bean, gotta be a dilly bean Well I like pickles, (And I like beans!) And when we get together, We're dilly beans! Gotta be a bean, gotta be a dilly bean, yeah! Well I opened up the 'frigerator looking for a pickle Yeah there were dillls, kosher dills, and umeboshi plum pickles But have a seen a string bean in a pickle jar? Long skinny and green pickle superstar! Gotta be a bean gotta be a dilly bean yeah. (Chorus) The first dilly bean i ate made willy nilly silly Yeah I can eat them room temperature and I can eat 'em chilly Better than candy, better than ice cream Oh I how love to eat dilly beans Gotta be a bean gotta be a dilly bean yeah (Bass Solo by Mike! Piano Solo by Dan! Drum Solo by Justus!) (Chorus)

Tuck Me In 02:31
My tambourine, is the most worn out Tambourine you've ever seen It's lost a few, of the jingle jangle janglies That used to shine and sparkle and glean But it doesn't really matter what it looks like No it doesn't really matter to me 'Cause when you close your eyes and listen to me shake it shake It's just about the prettiest thing I love my tambourine My tambourine, isn't very new In fact it's fifty years older than me It's been kicked around, left up in an attic Far from any people who sing But it doesn't really matter if it's old No it doesn't really matter to me 'Cause when you close your eyes and listen to it shake it shake It's just about the prettiest thing You want to hear What I can play You know the rhythms I play can be quick or be so slow You want to dance Well what does it take? Is it listening to my favorite tambourine shake?
