What does he hear?
What does he see?
Where does he go?
What does he know?
Flying along
Like life is a song
Only the good dogs know——
Chorus:
When he hears the call——
Reach into his soul——
He lets his wild fire go——
Smokey will run free
Can you hear it too——?
Reaching into you——?
Let your inner child through——
Then you will run free——
Then you will run free——too
So many hills
And valleys in life
But that’s where we find
Out what’s inside
The right attitude
Can carry you through
Seems like the good dogs know——
Chorus:
When he hears the call——
Reach into his soul——
He lets his wild fire go——
Smokey will run free
Can you hear it too——?
Reaching into you——?
Let your inner child through——
Then you will run free——
Then you will run free——too

Turtlurtlurtle
03:17
|
|||
Turtlurtlurtle is a turtle, not a bird
Or an orangutan, an elephant
Or even a giraffe
She can hold her breath
Under water, like an otter
But she isn’t an otter either
And her best friend, Lou
Is a turtle too---
How do you do, Lou?
Turtlurtlurtle has a sister, Myrtlyrtle
She’s a turtle, not a parrotfish
Flamingo or a bat
If you get confused
When you see her on the evening news
She isn’t a TV journalist
She has a crush on Lou
If he only knew---
(Oh!) How do you do, Lou?
Now turtles don’t often
Get mistaken
For the other animals in the zoo---
Except for tortoises
They live on land
We're talking about turtles
They live in water, and on land too
Turtlurtlurtle is a little bit unusual
She likes to wear a costume
Every day of her life
She’s super social
Soaking in the pools of other animals
She doesn’t seem scared at all---
And her best friend, Lou
Wears a costume, too---
But only sometimes
So, if you happen to
Be at the zoo
And you see a strange looking animal—-
It might be a turtle
In disguise
Otherwise, it might be a homo sapien
Turtlurtlurtl---urtlurtlurtlurtlurtl...
Urtlurtlurtlurtl and Loooo
Turtlurtlurtl---urtlurtlurtlurtlurtle
Urtlurtlurtl--urtl and Loooo
Turtlurtlurtle’s still a turtle. Quite a turtle!
And Myrtlyrtle finally married Lou
Everybody’s happy
This is sounding kind of sappy
But we hope to see you at the zoo
Bring your best friend, too
If he’s a turtle, you—-
Are lucky

Froggie on My Windowsill
03:56

There’s a froggie on my window sill
He’s a noisy little guy
Keeps me up all night, saying…
Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit, ribbit, ribbit, ribbit ribbit
There’s a froggie on the front porch swing
She’s a chatty little girl
Talking, talking to the world, saying…
Ribbit ribbit ribbit, redeep redeep, Ribbit ribbit ribbit, redeep, redeep
There’s a froggie in the mailbox
He’s a booming old man
Sending echoes through the land, saying…
Ooh bop, ooh bop bop, ooh bop, ooh bop, ooh bop bop
There’s a choir in the garden now
A bunch of noisy little frogs
Making music on a log
They’re singing…
Ooh bop, ooh bop bop, ribbit ribbit ribbit ribbit ooh bop bop
Oopsie, oopsie, ribbit redeep, oopsie, oopsie, ribbit redeep…
I love that choir in the garden, yeah
A bunch of noisy little frogs
Making music on a log
They’re singing…
Ooh bop, ooh bop bop, ribbit ribbit ribbit ribbit ooh bop bop
Oopsie, oopsie, ribbit redeep, oopsie, oopsie, ribbit redeep…

Springtime Dance
02:29
|

One fine day, I took a walk
And this is what I saw…
Two baby squirrels
Running round in a circle
Bushy tailed, playing games
It’s a springtime morning
Three baby birds
With their mouths open wide
Mama’s just in sight
Flying high in the sunlight
Four baby turtles
Blowing bubbles in the water
Five baby duckies
Leaving ripples on the pond
And there were six baby rabbits
Making mischief in the new, green grass
Doing a springtime dance
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la
After seven rain showers
I took a walk
And this is what I spied…
Eight daffodils
Popping out of the ground
Reaching up the sky
Waking up for the springtime
Nine little daisies
Faces following the light
What a sweet and silly sight
Soft and white in the daylight
Ten lovely tulips
Painted colors of the rainbow
Eleven lady slippers
Looking delicate as glass
And there were twelve baby ferns
Uncurling as a breeze tickled past
Part of the springtime dance
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la
Dance with me
La la la la la la la
In the springtime
La la la la la la la

Hello, I am a monkey
I would like to play
If you will not play with me
Then I will say...
Hello, I am a monkey
I would like to play
If you will not play with me
