Short and Sweet

Sing yourself silly, clap yourself happy
Play like you can't be beat
Grin yourself giddy, laugh yourself daff
Make each day like a ditty-
Short and Sweet
Short and Sweet

World Is Round
02:27
|

|
The world is round, China's upside-down
You'd see your own backside if you looked far enough
Energy abounds in the form of light and sound
The motion of the tide is deep inside if you look hard enough
There are seven billion people on this ball in outer space
So far we've only met a few
And so we've set a pace to go to every single place we know to
See what all those other people do
The world is round, China's upside-down
You'd see your own backside if you looked far enough
Energy abounds in the form of light and sound
The motion of the tide is deep inside if you look hard enough
We're made of time atoms, which are mostly empty space
Held together by a force like static cling
Our microscopes are gazing on things wondrous and amazing
The stuff of life, the universe, and everything!
The world is round, China's upside-down
You'd see your own backside if you looked far enough
Energy abounds in the form of light and sound
The motion of the tide is deep inside if you look hard enough
The forces of the cosmos work in mystifying ways
Most of which are silent and unseen
There's no suitable equation to express the motivation
Of the universe to make a human being
The world is round, China's upside-down
You'd see your own backside if you looked far enough
Energy abounds in the form of light and sound
The motion of the tide is deep inside if you look hard enough
And if you're smart enough

Red Pajamas
03:07

I like to wear my red pajamas
When I go to sleep at night
I put them on all by myself
It helps to keep my warm and tight
Red pajamas, all my best friends have got 'em
Red pajamas, little footies in the bottom
Red pajamas are stuck to me like glue
You could have red pajamas, too
I like to wear my rainbow tutu
When I dance around all day
I like to wear my ballet shoes, too
It helps me when I do plies
Rainbow tutu, it's made of crinoline and
Rainbow tutu, it sparkles when I'm spinnin'
Rainbow tutu is yellow, orange, and blue
You could have a tutu, too
I like to ride my plastic pony
Around the yard outside my home
And when I'm with my plastic pony
It never feels like I'm alone
Plastic pony, he's there just when I need him
Plastic pony, I never have to feed him
On my pony I ride away my blues
You could ride my pony, too

Bubble

Bubble blow out through the window
Bubble blow right through the door
It does not matter where you meander
That's where you'll go-oh-oh-oh-oh
Blow, bubble, blow
Bubble blow over the jungle
Bubble blow across the snow
It is a miracle that you're so spherical
A 3-D O-oh-oh-oh-oh
Blow, bubble blow

A Place for Everything
03:14
|
|||
|
Plates go there on the shelves
Bowls go nestled in themselves
Pots and pans by the grates
Grains go there in the jar
Learn where their locations are
Take your time it's not a race
There is a place for everything do-do-do-do-do
There is a place for everything do-do-do-do-do
See the things on the floor
Put them where they were before
Do your best to leave no trace
When I put my stuff away
I keep entropy at bay
And a smile on my face
There is a place for everything do-do-do-do-do
There is a place for everything do-do-do-do-do
Stale bread gets toasted
Toast gets composted
Nothing here will go to waste
The Ancients would say
As they practiced feng shui
That the mind is directly reflected
By objects in space
Dirt goes there in the can
And when you're through wash your hands
Then hold me in a firm embrace
There is a place for everything do-do-do-do-do
There is a place for everything do-do-do-do-do

A Lot Like Me
03:10
|
|||
|
The very first time I went outside it was very scary
I met a funny looking guy about eight foot tall and hairy (a bear!)
At the end of his arms were claws, razor-sharp and deadly
He opened up his toothy maw and this is what he said to me
Up in the air or down in the sea
Happy hippopotamus, buzzy little bee
We all eat food and we all gotta breathe
I'm not as scary as I seem
I'm a little like you, you're a lot like me
Git along!
When I looked down at the ground I saw some little villains
With legs and eyeballs all around they numbered in the millions (bugs!)
Antennae, claws, wings, and shells, sharp things made for stingin' (ouch!)
They made a pyramid of themselves and then they started singin'
Up in the air or down in the sea
Happy hippopotamus, buzzy little bee
We all eat food and we all gotta breathe
You don't need eighteen eyes to see
I'm a little like you, you're a lot like me
Git along!
A UFO came hoverin' by from places quite celestial
A big round portal opened wide to reveal an extraterrestrial (aliens!)
I couldn't tell if it was animal, mineral, or vegetable
It didn't talk so very well, but it's handwriting was legible (and the note read)
Up in the air or down in the sea
Happy hippopotamus, buzzy little bee
We all eat food and we all gotta breathe
No matter what your galaxy
I'm a little like you, you're a lot like me
It's taken a while but I'm startin' to see
I'm a little like you, you're a lot like me
So get along!

My Machine
02:45
|
|||
|
My machine wakes me up every morning
To the sound of the radio alarm
My machine lets me know if it's storming
My machine keeps me safe and warm
And as my sneakers glide out through the door and go outside and
In the driveway is my pride, my joy, my queen
My machine
My machine's got three hundred horsepower
Googliophonic stereo
My machine goes a thousand miles an hour
Just push the buttons and you go go go
And as I fly down the street with one hand free so I can eat
I feet the pedals 'neath my feet and I careen
In my machine
My machine adds up numbers
My machine picks up the phone
My machine is a modern wonder
My machine is in the know
And at the end of the day it's the machine that give me pay
And there is once again a way to praise the green
And my machine

Gotta Get Up
02:41
|
|||
|
I had a good idea today
I'm gonna go outside and play
There's lots of things for me to see
I think it's gonna be good for me
Gotta get up, gotta get out
Gotta get movin'
Gotta get up, gotta get out
Gotta get groovin'
I see a birdie flyin' by
If only I could fly so high
I found a tree for me to climb
I wanna be out here all the time
Gotta get up, gotta get out
Gotta get movin'
Gotta get up, gotta get out
Gotta get groovin'

Sweet Caroline
03:16
|

|
It's no surprise that your eyes
Are big and dark and round
I don't care that your hair is luscious long and brown
It's okay that you sway like the deep blue sea
For all your ways you still obey your own geometry
Sweet Caroline, strong of purpose, soft of line
Behind your shell the universe is held at bay
You're an Earthly creation using alien equations
You're put together in a most peculiar way
I could care less that you dress like every day is spring
It matters not that when it's hotter you don't wear a thing
It's not bad when you're clad in skin exclusively
It's what's underneath it all that's puzzling to me
Sweet Caroline you're barreling through time
Metamorphosizing every single day
And everyone agrees you're a singularity
You're put together in a most peculiar way
It's all right that you bite me every time we kiss
It's no big deal 'cuz I'm not real experienced at this
Much about you will no doubt remain a mystery
A humble rocket scientist is all I'll ever be
Sweet Caroline you're the prototype design
Before they made your mold they threw themselves away
And you require attention of a different dimension
You're put together in a most peculiar way
You're put together in a most peculiar way
You're put together in a most peculiar way
Oh, yeah

Waves
04:15
|

|
Like the river is running
Like the sea is unfolding
Like the water that's boiling in the cup that you're holding
Like the blood in your veins
Or thoughts in your skull
Or the sun's mighty rays
Bested by gravity's pull
Waves, all of them waves
All of them spinning and spinning away
Waves, all of them waves
All of them spinning and spinning away
Like the river is running
Like the sea is unfolding
Like the future that's coming
Or the note that I'm holding
Like the blood in your veins
Or thoughts in your skull
Or the sun's mighty rays
Bested by gravity's pull
Waves, all of them waves
All of them spinning and spinning away
Waves, all of them waves
All of them spinning and spinning away

Have a Goal

Have a goal
Believe in yourself
Conquer your fears
Move into action
Express your true self in all you do
Have a positive effect on those around you
Then do it again
