lyrics

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

Songs to Sing at Children
by Mike Phirman

This album has silly but profound songwriting (What makes the breakfast) as well as hilarious skits between songs that keep me and my six year-old laughing. My Friend Christopher
