BABY NINJA
I shoulda been a ninja
Ninja’s in my blood
You can tell by the way I woke you up
And left you going “Wha—t?”
I shoulda been a ninja—
Taking on the fights
I shoulda been a ninja
Maybe I’ll start tonight
Verse:
1-2-3-4
I’ll hide behind the bathroom door
5-6-7-8
I’ll jump right over that baby gate
And I hear every single thing you say
Though I don’t talk yet
So don’t mistake my silence for ignorant bliss
Chorus:
I’m a baby ninja – HA!
I’m a baby ninja – POW!
I’m a baby ninja – BAM!
I’ll sneak through the house
I’ll swish in and out
I’ll crawl like a ninja – HI-YAH!
I shoulda been a ninja
Ninja’s in my blood
You can tell by the way I flung my bottle
And left you going “Wha—t?”
I shoulda been a ninja—
Taking on the fights
I shoulda been a ninja
Maybe I’ll start tonight
Verse 2:
A-B-C-D
I’ll leap out of the clean laundry
E-F-G-H
I’ll weave between the table legs
And I’ll stick every single thing
Inside my mouth to check it out
I’ll use all senses mapping out this whole place
Chorus:
I’m a baby ninja – HA!
I’m a baby ninja – POW!
I’m a baby ninja – BAM!
I’ll sneak through the house
I’ll swish in and out
I’m stealthy – HI-YAH!
Bridge:
Disarmin—ly charmin’
At times I’m a little alarmin’
ZAZINGA! I’ll sing ya
My ninja song
It won’t take long
I know you think I’m crying
But I’m really practicing
WAH! WAH! BAM! BAM! ZAZINGA! How’d ya like that?!
So sneaky, it’s freaky
Distract ya when I get squeaky
I’ll float like a bubble
And sting like a diaper rash
Oh you think I’m crying
But I’m really practicing
WAH! WAH! KABLAM! KAPOW! Hey, check out my stance!
I could fill this diaper in a New York minute
Just when you think you’ve got me figured out
I’m gonna change – KABOOM!
Chorus:
I’m a baby ninja – HA!
I’m a baby ninja – POW!
I’m a baby ninja – BAM!
I’ll sneak through the house
I’ll swish in and out
I’ll crawl like a ninja – HI-YAH!

I Put My Heart Into

I PUT MY HEART INTO
I put my heart into this soda bread for you
I made it with my own two hands
I put my heart into this apple pie for you
And sprinkled in a dash of soul—
And so I hope you know—
That every single bite
Is filled with love and life
And now I hope you see
How much you mean to me
I made this with my own two hands for you
And filled it with my heart and soul
I put my heart into this rocking horse for you
I made it with my own two hands
I put my heart into this baby quilt for you
And stitched it up with loving care
So now I hope you feel—
In every single ride
The life I carved inside
And as you go to sleep
I hope your dreams are sweet
I made this with my own two hands for you
And filled it with my heart and soul
Bridge:
All— all— for you
All— all— for you
I put my heart into this picture drawn for you
I made it with my own two hands
I put my heart into this melody for you
And pondered over every word
So now I hope you know—
That every single line
Connects the love inside
And now I hope you see
How much you mean you to me
I made this with my own two hands for you
And filled it with my heart and soul
End:
All— all— for you
All— all— for you
All— all— for you
All— all— for you
I made this with my own two hands for you
I made this with my own two hands

Superstar

SUPERSTAR
There’s a superstar in the alphabet
It’s the first letter of your name
The one we gave you
And every time I hear it
My heart gives a little cheer—
Oh, how I love you!
There’s a magic minute on the clock each day
A time for celebration
Of your wonderful face
The moment I first saw it
I knew I was forever changed—
Oh, how I love you!
There’s a perfect point in the earth’s rotation
The anniversary of the jubilation
I felt on the day…
The day that my baby was born!
Oh, how I love you!
Chorus:
Oh, I love you and I always will
Always will
And I always will
I love you and I always will
And I always, always will
In case you ever doubt it
I think I’m gonna shout it to the world
Oh, how I love you!
Verse:
There’s a secret weapon only you possess
Give me one little hug
And now I’m powerless
I know I’m not the only
One who’ll ever feel this way
Oh, how I love you!
There’s a golden string
Running to my heart
You play it like a maestro
Making beautiful art
Can’t ever get enough of it
Never get enough of you—
Oh, how I love you!
And the luckiest person in the universe
Is the one paying tribute
In a few short verses
I still can’t believe—
Believe I get to be your mom—
Oh, how I love you!
BRIDGE:
Oh how I love you
I’m always gonna love you
No matter what you’re doing
I’ll love you — love you
Oh how I love you
I’m always gonna love you
No matter what you’re doing
I’ll love you — love you
Chorus:
Oh, I love you and I always will
Always will
And I always will
I love you and I always will
And I always, always will
In case you ever doubt it
I think I’m gonna shout it to the world
Oh, how I love you!
End:
In case you ever doubt it
I think I’m gonna shout it to the world

RYAN THE LION
Ryan the Lion was tryin’ to roar
But a FROG got stuck in his throat
He opened his mouth to get real loud
But all that came out was...
RIBBIT! x 2
Well, you know that just won’t do
For a lion who
Is tryin’ to be king of the jungle
So he opened up his mouth to let the froggie out
But then he heard his tummy go... rumble rumble rumble
Rumble, rumble, rumble... rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble...
What’s he gonna do?

DOGS DOIN’ DISHES
Dogs doing dishes
They love doing dishes
“These dishes are delicious”
Say the doggies doing dishes
“And the only thing we wish
As we’re doing all these dishes…
Is the people wouldn’t eat so well
Why they gotta eat so well?”
We know you’re trying to eat your dinner
All the colors, like a winner
Maybe you could eat a little less next time?
We know you’re practicing not wasting
Trying everything with patience
Maybe you could leave a little more
For the dogs to try…
Dogs doing dishes
They love doing dishes
“These dishes are delicious”
Say the doggies doing dishes
“And the only thing we wish
As we’re doing all these dishes…
Is the people wouldn’t eat so well
Why they gotta eat so…?
Why they gotta eat so…?
Why they gotta eat so well?”
