Just a lazy moose
Walking on the loose
Meets a dragonfly
As he's buzzing by
The lazy moose says
Hm-hm-hm-hm-hm
The dragonfly says
Zuh-zuh-zuh-zuhz
And when they sing together
When they sing together
It goes, Hm-hm-hm-hm-hm
Zuh-zuh-zuh-zuhz
Hm-hm-hm-hm-hm
Zuh-zuh-zuh-zuhz
Just a mourning dove
Crying for his love
Sees a happy cat
Purring cuz she's glad
The mourning dove cries
Boo-hoo-hoo
The happy cat says
La-da-dee-da
And when they sing together
When they sing together
It goes, Boo-hoo-hoo
La-da-da-dee-da
Boo-hoo-hoo
La-da-da-dee-da
Ba ba ba ba ba da dee da
Ba ba ba ba ba da dee da
Ba ba ba ba ba da dee da
Ba ba ba da dee da da badum
You shoulda seen the grumpy toad
Sitting by the road
Sees a moose & dragonfly
A cat & dove go by
The grumpy toad croaks
"I ain't joining you folks"
The rest of 'em sing
"Hey, you're part of this thing"
And when we sing together
When we sing together
It goes
Hm-hm-hm-hm-hm
Zuh-zuh-zuh-zuhz
Boo-hoo-hoo
La-da-da-dee-da
Dooby-dooby-doo
Ba ba bada bada ba
Ba ba bada bada ba
BAAAAAH!

Fall or Fly
03:29
|

You know that we all take a dive some of the time
Slip, stumble & fall & eat some humble pie
We can’t be winning all the blue ribbons
But we can keep learning from all of our living
You won’t be sinking if you keep swimming
And staying alive
Whether I fall or whether I fly
Whether I’m sprawled out or touching the sky
I can stand tall knowing I’ve tried
Whether I fall or whether I fly
You know that it takes lots of mistakes to get it just right
Fumble the football, bungle the phone call
Miss your big flight
You gonna collect some sweet imperfections
And you’re gonna get some epic rejections
But with some reflection, they’ll give you direction
And a purpose in life
Whether I fall or whether I fly
Whether I’m sprawled out or touching the sky
I can stand tall knowing I’ve tried
Whether I fall or whether I fly
“Hey Ash, have I told you about the time I played violin in the 5th grade talent show? I had just started learning to play, it sounded terrible, and the audience giggled and giggled, but I didn’t care, at least I tried!”
“Yeah? Well let me tell you about the time I got stuck hanging from a fence by my shorts, just as the final bell rang at the middle school across the street. It was so embarrassing! I was hopping the fence because I forgot my house key. Tell you what: I never forgot my keys again!”
You know you’re gonna collect some sweet imperfections
And you’re gonna get some epic rejections
But with some reflection, they’ll give you direction
And a purpose in life
Whether I fall or whether I fly
Whether I’m sprawled out or touching the sky
I can stand tall knowing I’ve tried
Whether I fall or whether I fly
Whether I fall or whether I fly
Whether I fall or whether I fly

Your Dog Loves My Dog
02:50

My dog loves your dog and your dog loves my dog
My dog loves your dog and your dog loves my dog…
All them dogs, all them dogs
Talking about a black dog, talking about a white dog
Talking about a shaggy dog, talking about a fancy dog
All them dogs, all them dogs
All them dogs, all them dogs
And then a-why can’t we sit under the apple tree?
Why can’t we sit under the apple tree?
My dog loves your dog and your dog loves my dog
My dog loves your dog and your dog loves my dog…
My little doggy was playing one day
Down in the meadow with a bundle of hay
Your little doggy it came along
Said, “Let’s get together and eat this bone!”
All them dogs, all them dogs
All them dogs, all them dogs
And then a-why can’t we sit under the apple tree?
Why can’t we sit under the apple tree?
You won’t walk with me
You won’t talk with me
Why don’t you hold my hand
So we can understand
Now can’t you see
That you and me
Are gonna be happy
Sit under the apple tree
My dog loves your dog and your dog loves my dog
My dog loves your dog and your dog loves my dog…
My little dog jumped out of his pen
Said let’s introduce our human friends
Your little dog said prove me wrong
I thought people didn’t know how to get along
All them dogs, all them dogs
All them dogs, all them dogs
But why can’t we sit under the apple tree?
Why can’t we sit under the apple tree?
You won’t walk with me
You won’t talk with me
Why don’t you hold my hand
So we can understand
Now can’t you see
That you and me
Are gonna be happy
Sit under the apple tree
Can’t you see
That you and me
Are gonna be happy
Sit under the apple tree

Gimme My Bag
02:22

You stole my bag
I want it back
It had my diorama
And all the snacks from my mama
I told the lunch lady but she didn’t care
She doesn’t get involved in kids’ affairs
So that’s why I am here with my friends to say
I’m not going away
Gimme my bag (Yeah, yeah)
Gimme my bag (Yeah, yeah)
Gimme my bag (Yeah, yeah)
Gimme my bag
It’s so rude how you did it
It’s like you were Houdini
Swinging on the swings, and next thing I knew
Her bag was gone and so were you
I bet you went under the bleacher stairs
To eat up all of her … eclairs
And copy her homework from history
Now you gotta deal with me
You better gimme my bag (Yeah, yeah)
Gimme my bag (Yeah, yeah)
Gimme my bag (Yeah, yeah)
Gimme my bag (bag, bag bag, b-bag… )
My bag (Yeah, yeah)
Gimme my bag (Yeah, yeah)
Gimme my bag (Yeah, yeh-ah)
Gimme my bag
Yeah, yeah, yeah (you better give me my)
Bag, bag, bag (uh, cuz you makin’ me)
Mad, mad, mad
Gimme my bag, bag, bag! (Whoo!)
Yeah, yeah, yeah (you better give me my)
Bag, bag, bag (uh, cuz you makin’ me)
Mad, mad, mad
Gimme my bag, bag, bag!

Ain't No Rock'n'Roll
02:43
|

|
Well you don't really know the good times
If you ain't been down and out
And if you never felt the rhythm and blues
You can't twist and shout
White wingtips and penny loafers
Never beat the blue suede shoes
And there ain't no rock'n'roll without the blues
No there ain't no Rolling Stones
Without Muddy Waters
And there ain't no Janis Joplin
Without all that Bessie Smith had taught her
Without Big Boy Crudup and Big Mama Thornton
Elvis couldn't be the King
And without those crooning bluesmen
You wouldn't hear us white boys sing…
Mix up your country & western with R&B
And then spread the gospel news
Lawd there ain't no rock'n'roll without the blues
Yeah it took Chuck Berry's hot guitar
To get the Beach Boys and Beatles simmering
And without Little Richard's style and sass
Bob Dylan would still be Robert Zimmerman
Sister Rosetta & Etta James
Helped light the burning fuse
And there ain't no rock'n'roll without the blues
Well it takes a little honky tonk
To get us the country moving
But it takes a lot of juke joint
To get the whole dang planet grooving
There's so many strands and so many bands
Thank goodness we don't have to choose
And there ain't no rock'n'roll without the blues
No there ain't no American music
Without Black American music
And there ain't no rock'n'roll without the blues
No there ain't no rock'n'roll without the blues
