Little Canoe
Just a boy and a girl in a little canoe
With the moon shining all around
And they paddled and they paddled so...
You couldn’t even hear a sound
And they talked and they talked
Til the moon grew dim
He said you better (kiss)
Or get out and swim
So what you gonna do
In a little canoe
With the moon shining all a...
Boats floating all a..
Girls swimming all around
GET OUT AND SWIM!

Lullabye (Goodnight, My Angel)
Billy Joel
Goodnight, my angel
Time to close your eyes
And save these questions for another day
I think I know what you've been asking me
I think you know what I've been trying to say
I promised I would never leave you
And you should always know
Wherever you may go
No matter where you are
I never will be far away
Goodnight, my angel
Now it's time to sleep
And still so many things I want to say
Remember all the songs you sang for me
When we went sailing on an emerald bay
And like a boat out on the ocean
I'm rocking you to sleep
The water's dark
And deep inside this ancient heart
You'll always be a part of me
Goodnight, my angel
Now it's time to dream
And dream how wonderful your life will be
Someday your child may cry
And if you sing this lullabye
Then in your heart
There will always be a part of me
Someday we'll all be gone
But lullabyes go on and on...
They never die
That's how you
And I
Will be

Mr. Dundavin
Chorus
Oh Mr Dundavin how could you be so mean?
I told you you’d be sorry for inventing that machine
Now all the neighbors cats and dogs
Will never be seen
They’ll all be ground to sausages
In Dundavin’s machine
One day a little fat boy came walking to the store
He bought a pound of sausages
And laid them on the floor
Then he began to whistle
He whistled up a tune
And all the little sausages
Were dancing round the room
(Chorus)
One day the thing got busted
The darn thing wouldn’t go
So Dundavin he stepped inside to see what made it so
His wife she had a nightmare
While walking in her sleep
She gave the crank a heck of a yank
And Dundavin was meat.
(Chorus)

One Tin Soldier
Lambert-Potter
Listen, children, to a story
That was written long ago,
'Bout a kingdom on a mountain
And the valley-folk below.
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath the stone,
And the valley-people swore
They'd have it for their very own.
Chorus
Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
Go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of Heaven,
You can justify it in the end.
There won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day,
On the bloody morning after....
One tin soldier rides away.
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill,
Asking for the buried treasure,
Tons of gold for which they'd kill.
Came an answer from the kingdom,
"With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of our mountain,
All the riches buried there."
(Chorus)
Now the valley cried with anger,
"Mount your horses! Draw your sword!"
And they killed the mountain-people,
So they won their just reward.
Now they stood beside the treasure,
On the mountain, dark and red.
Turned the stone and looked beneath it...
"Peace on Earth" was all it said.
(Chorus)

Peace & Taps
Glendora Gosling and Viola Wood
Peace I ask of thee , O river
Peace, Peace, Peace.
When I learn to live serenely
Cares will cease.
From the hills I gather courage,
Vision of the day to be.
Strength to lead and faith to follow,
All are given unto me.
Peace I ask of thee , O river
Peace, Peace, Peace.
Day is done, gone the sun
From the lakes, from the hills, from the sky
All is well, safely rest
God is nigh

They sailed across the seven seas
They sailed across the channel too
And they took with them, the Rig-a-Bamboo
Chorus
A Rig-a-Bamboo, now what is that?
It's something made by the Princess Pat.
It's red and gold, and purple too,
That's why it's called, a Rig-a-Bamboo.
Now Captain Jack, had a mightly fine crew,
They sailed across the channel too.
But his ship sank, and yours will too,
If you don't take a Rig-a-Bamboo.
(Chorus)
The Princess Pat, saw Captain Jack.
She reeled him in, and brought him back.
She saved his life, and his crew's too,
And do you know how?- with the a Rig-a-Bamboo!

Prune Song
Noooo matter how hard a prune may try he's always getting wrinkles,
Ahhhh baby prunes just like his dad 'cept he ain't wrinkled half so bad,

A little seed inside a prune,

Whatcha doin’ prune?

Puff the Magic Dragon
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee,
Little jackie paper loved that rascal puff,
And brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff. Oh!
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee,
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee.
Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched on puff's gigantic tail,
Noble kings and princes would bow whene'er they came,
Pirate ships would lower their flag when puff roared out his name. Oh!
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee,
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee.
A dragon lives forever but not so little boys
Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys.
One grey night it happened, jackie paper came no more
And puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar.
His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain,
Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane.
Without his life-long friend, puff could not be brave,
So puff that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his cave. Oh!
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee,
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee.

Somewhere Out There
James Horner, Barry Mann, Cynthia Weil
Somewhere out there beneath the pale moonlight
Someone's thinking of me and loving me tonight
Somewhere out there someone's saying a prayer
That we'll find one another in that big somewhere out there
And even though I know how very far apart we are
It helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star
And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby
It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky
Somewhere out there if love can see us through
Then we'll be together somewhere out there
Out where dreams come true
And even though I know how very far apart we are
It helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star
And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby
It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky
Somewhere out there if love can see us through
Then we'll be together somewhere out there
Out where dreams come true

Stand By Me
Ben E. King, Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller
When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh now now stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me-e, yeah
Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me, oh now now stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

The Rainbow Connection
Paul Williams and Kenny Ascher
Why are there so many
Songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side
Rainbows are visions
But only illusions
And rainbows have nothing to hide
So we've been told and some choose to
Believe it
I know they're wrong wait and see
Someday we'll find it
The Rainbow Connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me
Who said that every wish
Would be heard and answered
When wished on the morning star
Somebody thought of that
And someone believed it
And look what its done so far
What's so amazing
That keeps us star gazing
What do we think we might see
Someday we'll find it
That Rainbow Connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me
All of us under its spell
we know that it's probably magic.
Have you been half asleep
And have you heard voices
I've heard them calling my name
Is this the sweet sound
That calls the young sailors
The voice might be one and the same
I've heard it too many times to ignore it
it's something that I'm supposed to be
Someday we'll find it
The Rainbow Connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me

The Rose
Amanda McBroom
Some say love, it is a river
that drowns the tender reed.
Some say love, it is a razor
that leaves your soul to bleed.
Some say love, it is a hunger,
an endless aching need.
I say love, it is a flower,
and you its only seed.
It's the heart afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance.
It's the dream afraid of waking
that never takes the chance.
It's the one who won't be taken,
who cannot seem to give,
and the soul afraid of dyin'
that never learns to live.
When the night has been too lonely
and the road has been to long,
and you think that love is only
for the lucky and the strong,
just remember in the winter
far beneath the bitter snows
lies the seed that with the sun's love
in the spring becomes the rose.

The Ship Titanic
Oh they built the ship Titanic
and when they were through
They thought they had a ship
that the water couldn't go through
But the good lord raised his hand
said that ship would never stand
It was sad when the great ship went down.
Chorus
It was sad
It was sad (too bad)
It was sad when the great ship went down
to the bottom of the sea
(husbands and wives, little children lost their lives) OR (uncles and aunts, little children lost their pants)
It was sad when the great ship went down.
Oh they sailed away from England
and were almost to the shore
when the rich refused
to associate with the poor.
So they put them down below
where they'd be the first to go.
It was sad when the great ship went down.
The boat was full of sin
and the sides about to burst
when the captain shouted
"Women and children first".
Then the captain tried to wire
but the wireless was on fire.
It was sad when the great ship went down.
So they swung the lifeboats out
o'er the deep and raging sea
and he band struck up the song
"Nearer my god to thee".
Little children wept and cried
as the waves swept o'er the sides.
It was sad when the great ship went down.

Today
Chorus
Today while the blossoms still cling to the vines
I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wines.
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
Ere I forget all the joys that are mine today.
Well I'll be a dandy and I'll be a rover
You'll know who I am by the songs that I sing.
I'll feast at your table, I'll sleep in your clover
Who cares what tomorrow may bring?
(Chorus)
I can't be contented with yesterday's glory
I can't live on promises winter to spring.
Today is my moment and now is my story
I'll laugh and I'll cry and I'll sing.
(Chorus)
I live for today and I love for the moment
The hour is now and the moment is mine
My joys are all here and they're all mine for the knowing
The memories, they'll live in my mind.
(Chorus)
I'll sigh at the parting with sweet melancholy
And long for the days that I dreamed were here
But sorrow and sadness shall not be my folly
Love one and you'll always love true
(Chorus)
I'm just as restless as winds blowing westward
I can't stay in any one place for too long
I'll love you today and then leave you tomorrow
And then you will know I am gone.
(Chorus)
Don't cry if our stay soon comes to an ending
We don't write the stories, we only play parts
And while one is dying, another is pending
Another shall live in our hearts.
(Chorus)

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they’re here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Suddenly, I’m not half the man I used to be,
There’s a shadow hanging over me.
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.
Why she had to go I don’t know she woldn’t say.
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play.
Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
