Alarm Clock 02:04
When I woke up this morning I felt so great Went to bed at a reasonable time, not too late I slept like a log, I slept like a rock And I woke with surprise as the sun hit my eyes Just before the alarm clock Just before the alarm clock I wiggled my toes and I scrunch my nose I started to yawn and stretch so long I slept like a baby, I slept so fine And what do you know, there was plenty of time I woke before the alarm clock Just before the alarm clock My family is so good to me We tell stories every night And when I’m feeling worried They leave on the light Please? Thank you! Oh, I jump from the bed and I scratched my head Touched my toes and put on some clothes Followed my nose downstairs I go Breaking my fast with pancakes at last Cuz I woke before the alarm clock Just before the alarm clock Briiinnng

Thank you, feet You help me walk down the street Thank you eyes You show everyone when I’m surprised Thank you heart Though it aches when we’re apart I’m so thankful for my body Everybody’s got a body My body, your body, everybody’s got a body My body, your body, everybody’s got a body mmmmmmm Every day We change in every way Me and you We’re not the same but that’s OK Day and night Stand tall and shine your light Everybody’s got a body I’m so thankful for my body My body, your body, everybody’s got a body My body, your body, everybody’s got a body mmmmmmmm

Choose what you choose What you choose to do is how peace gets in your heart x2 Your attitude matters It's all there really is There is no other biz It's everything to you How you go into things How's your frame of mind There's plenty of time To tune right into you Don't worry bout mistakes There's plenty more to make Take a chance and make a choice Choose what you choose What you choose to do is how peace gets in your heart x4 Just like the spiders Who took all day to climb Not worrying bout the time No spout can keep them down Steady keep rolling Get on up that hill And then another still Then down and down we ride Don't worry bout mistakes There's plenty more to make Take a chance and make a choice Choose what you choose What you choose to do is how peace gets in your heart x4

All the branches are quiet when we first see the tree Then they come alive So many birds are flying over me Their wings all fill the sky On the branch where they left a caterpillar crawls One sticky foot at a time Gonna find a cosy place and hang like a J And turn into a butterfly Further down the road is an ant with a load A crumb for the Queen that’s sweet The ant was feeling glad about a child who had Dropped their ice cream cone in the street

I Can Do It 02:15
I know that I can do it There’s really nothing to it

Have you ever tried to be a squirrel in a tree Leaping from branch to branch? Have you ever tried to be a squirrel in a tree Check it out when you get the chance Have you ever tried to be a squirrel in a tree Snuggling down in their nest of leaves Have you ever tried to be a squirrel in a tree You can try it now if you please Down in the bog there are a bunch of logs Where the sun is shining bright Jump like a frog, jump from log to log, Jump in the warm sunlight Over on a stone a turtle rests alone Warming their shell in the sun The turtle isn’t fazed when the frogs start to play Jumping over them for fun Splash! Jump into the water! Feel the cool of the pool On your sunbaked skin The fish, Are so happy to see us It’s like a pool party When we jump in A duck paddles by with an eye on the sky Ready to stretch their wings They wave their wings good bye and take off to fly “Quack, quack, quack” they sing It feels so nice to fly so high up in the sky After that lovely rest They flew all around then landed on the ground And waddled off too their nest Were you the squirrel in the tree? Were you the frog on the log? Were you the turtle on the stone resting all alone?? Were you the fish in the pool having fun at the party? Were you the duck in the sky flying all the way home? Fly home fly home…..

about
