I’d rather be, I’d rather be under the sea
I’d rather be, I’d rather be under the sea
They’ve got some fish down there, dressed like clowns
If you want to see stars, just look down
I read about a shark, as big as a bus
I hope it swims by and gives a ride to us
Under the sea
I’ll see you soon, I’ll see you soon up on the moon
I’ll see you soon, I’ll see you soon up on the moon
It doesn’t look too far, above my roof
If we take a jar, we can bring back proof
I bet we can get there if I push and you pull
And when we arrive I hope . . . it’s not too full
Up on the moon
Daydreaming of the sea
Nothing can come between, me and my dreams
Night dreaming of the moon
If you dream along with me - we’ll be there soon
I’d rather be, I’d rather be under the sea
I’ll see you soon, I’ll see you soon up on the moon
If I can’t go, I won’t cry
I’ll just lie in this tub and stare at the sky
I could flow down the drain, or float into space
Because my dreams always take me to a special place
Under the sea, up on the moon, under the sea, up on the moon
All in my dreams

Things to Do Today
02:46
|

I made a list of things to do today cause I’m an optimist
Hang the laundry out, paint a little trim
Make lunch clean up bring the laundry in
But in between those tasks I’m always being asked
To make a snack play soccer sing a song
These kids are getting old how can I say no
Good thing the summer days are long
I’ve got a list of things to do today
List of things to do today
I got things to do today
I got things to doodle-ee-do
I got a list of things to do today
Things to do today
I got things to do today
I got a toodee-oo-de-loo-doo, toodee-oo-de-loo-doo, toodee-oo-de-loo-doo list
I made a mental note of what must get done before we leave today
Let Catrick out pack the camping bin
Get the kids to pack clothes let the cat back in
I’ve got to do it alone but I’ll show ‘em I’ve grown
I can really pull my weight
I’m going to stick to the plan - Oh! There’s a piano
Let me see if I still can play
*Interlude*
This list of chores wasn’t helping me so I made one I could complete
Wake up say good morning shave if I’m too hairy
Get dressed only when strictly necessary
Make time for a chat stop and pet the cat
Take a moment to look at the sky
Play a game with the kids hey I finally did
All the things on my list today
I did the list of things to do today
List of things to do today
List of things to do today
I did the whole goldarn toodle-oodley list
I did the list of things to do today
The whole list of things to do today
List of things to do today
I did the toodee-oo-de-loo-doo, toodee-oo-de-loo-doo, toodee-oo-de-loo-doo list

Keep Looking Up
02:32
|
|||
Think of a worm . . . it's much smaller than you
No voice, no choice - what can it do?
Dig in the ground . . . make those cute little poos
And when it rains he comes crawling up
The lowly turtle, has got cold cold blood
When you make your bed I betcha don’t use mud - she does
Down in the silent dark all winter long
But in the spring she’s swimming up to this song
She’s swimming up
She’s swimming up
In the spring she comes swimming up
She’s got the spirit it takes to leave the mud and the lake
And in the spring she comes swimming up
They say the ocean is blue but let me tell you
Down where the fishes be,
You know it’s actually too black to see
They turn their eyes to the surface and sky
Down in the dark they keep looking up
Keep looking up
Keep looking up
Down in the dark they keep looking up
Think of the shark and the skate, the manta ray for goodness sake
And when it’s dark keep looking up
Keep looking up
Keep looking up
When you’re down keep looking up
You think no one’s as blue as you are
I know a whale down-er and blu-er . . .
So when you’re down keep looking up
When you’re down keep looking up
When you’re down keep looking up
When you’re down keep looking up

Shoe Pile
03:21
|

Shoe pile by the front door, shoe pile by the side door
Shoe pile, I gotta shovel away so I can look out my back door
It’s growing by the minute, I think a couple of skunks live in it
My family’s got more feet than a centipede
Look at the shoe pile by the door
Size one, size two, size three, size four
Aw, your feet’s too big I gotta buy some more
Sneakers, runners sandals, boots
You buy ‘em in a box, but what’s the use?
Just put ‘em in the
Shoe pile by the front door, shoe pile by the side door
Shoe pile, I gotta shovel away so I can look out my back door
It’s growing by the minute, I think a couple of skunks live in it
My family’s got more feet than a centipede
Look at the shoe pile by the door
Winter and spring and summer and fall
We got boxes in the basement, there’s a hamper in the hall
We like to walk to school, we can run for miles
When they see us at the shoe store, they always smile
"What can I get for you today, sir?"
Just the usual.
"Three pairs of extra-breakable, super-outgrowable shoes coming right up!"
Just put ‘em in the
Shoe pile by the front door, shoe pile by the side door
Shoe pile, I gotta shovel away so I can look out my back door
It’s growing by the minute, I think a couple of you live in it
My family’s got more feet than a centipede
Look at the shoe pile by the door
Shoe pile don’t bother me, Shoe pile don’t bother me
Shoe pile don’t bother me at all
Shoe pile don’t bother me, Shoe pile don’t bother me
Shoe pile don’t bother me at all

Melted Ice Cream Blues
02:14
|
|||
Summertime and I’m feeling fine
I want to get me some Lemon Lime
Ice Cream and eat it in the sun
Now it’s dripping all down my clothes
I can see some on my sister’s nose
Oh we’ve got the melted ice cream blues
And every time I wave my arms around
There’s more ice cream on the ground
Oh we’ve got the melted ice cream river blues
And then my dad starts to yell at me, he says -
“Hey, do you think that stuff is free?”
And now he’s got the melted ice cream blues
Now I bit the bottom off my cone
And an ice cream river’s flowin’
Carry me away on the melted ice cream river blues
Though eating ice cream in the sun is fine
I think I’ll keep on licking till the winter time
And say goodbye to the melted ice cream blues

He’s Santa Claus . . . because
He started giving so long ago
He’s a saint . . . but he ain’t
So good on the telephone
Christmas Eve. . . he brings dreams
But he needs some assistance too
Write a list . . . . mail it in
It’s the least a little kid can do
Oh . . . Santa Claus gets his information
Exclusively in the mail
So if you’re good you’d better write a letter
And give it to a snail (mail carrier)
Santa Claus gets his information
Directly in the post
So write out by hand, don’t offend him, send him
A list of what you want the most
You won’t catch him reading emails
With a phone up to his nose
And as for S-M-essages well
He’s never heard of those
Don’t make me laugh . . . . Ho Ho Ho Ho!
How long? . . . How far?
From the North Pole to here?
Big old list . . . bag of toys
But he makes the trip every year
In his sleigh . . . all the way
He can fly and read your mind
He’s a tireless, wireless jolly saint
Who leaves every phone behind
Oh . . . Santa Claus gets his information
Exclusively in the mail
So if you’re good you’d better write a letter
And give it to a snail (mail carrier)
Santa Claus gets his information
Directly in the post
So write out by hand, don’t offend him, send him
A list of what you want the most
