This world is whistles and missiles
Bones and trombones
Turtles and fish in the sea
Ice cream and jumping beans
Atoms and genes
From zero to infinity
Look it up, look it up, look it up
Look it up, look it up, look it up

It could be a fraction
A chain reaction
A caveman in a block of ice
A rocket full of sugar
A lion or a cougar
Or a tropical paradise
Look it up, look it up, look it up
Look it up, look it up, look it up

Thank you !

Always Safety First (Spampinato)

I just had a whim, to go take a swim
Out on a limb, just haul off and jump right in
But that’s not so smart and so, I’ll hold on to the rim
Ahh, then I will live to swim again

It’s really neat, to go cross the street
Don’t skip a beat, just fly on my swifty feet
But I’ll stop before I go, the light will tell me when
Ahh, then I will live to cross again

Slow down, buckle up
Take the time, rehearse
Always safety first

Ohh-ohh-ohh
Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh
Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh
Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohhv

I’m feelin’ free, I’ll go climb a tree
Oh monkey me, I’m just like a chimpanzee
But it’s way too high and so, this time I’ll just pretend
Ahh, then I will live to climb again

Ahh-oh, ahh-oh, ahh just remember
Always safety first

That’s not mus-? That’s not what is written?
Play something better than this!


There’s A Girl, There’s A Boy (Spampinato)

There’s a girl, she plays alone
Sitting by her pretend phone
Wondering what she’s going to do today

There’s a boy, he sits at home
In his tree house all alone
Always in a world so far away

Ahh-ahh-ahh-ah-ah
Ahh-ahh-ahh
Ahh-ahh-ahh-ah-ah
Ahh-ahh-ahh
Ahh-ahh-ahh-ah-ah
Ahh-ahh-ahh

There are girls and there are boys
Separate ways and separate toys
Maybe they can find a way someday

Ahh-ahh-ahh-ah-ah
Ahh-ahh-ahh
Ahh-ahh-ahh-ah-ah
Ahh-ahh-ahh
Ahh-ahh-ahh-ah-ah
Ahh-ahh-ahh
Ahh-ahh-ahh-ah-ah
Ahh-ahh-ahh

Well, hooray for the Irish, it’s St. Patrick’s Day

Forest of evergreen, emerald, jade
And Three is the number of leaves on the flower
The Shamrock’s a symbol that never will fade

Germans, Australians, Norwegians, Italians
Who could deny they all have their own way
But if it’s green that they wear they be brothers Eire
We’re all a bit Irish on St. Patrick’s Day

A great day for the Irish, they say
Anyone can be Irish today
Aye, that they may

We’re Walking (Adams)

Here we go
We’re in no hurry
Just us three
Strolling along
We have no worries
On our way

Well, it may seem slow
But we know we will get there
Just because we’re walking

We have no car
But it’s not very far
We’re having fun
We’re on our way
And it’s a real nice day
Just us three

Well, it may see slow
But we know we will get there
Just because we’re walking

Walking, walking, walking
Walking, walking, walking
Step by step we’re walking

Well, it may seem slow
But we know we will get there
Just because we’re walking

Walking, walking, walking
Walking, walking, walking
Step by step we’re walking

The sun is out
And the sky is blue
I’m feeling good
Without a doubt
I’ve got my favorite shoes
And this I can say

Well, it may seem slow
But we know we will get there
Just because we’re walking

Walking, walking, walking
Walking, walking, walking, yeah
Step by step we’re walking

Walking, walking, walking
Walking, walking, walking
Step by step we’re walking

Hey, don’t step on the cracks!

Sleep (Spampinato)

Sleep, wonderful sleep
Rest your little head
Close your eyes and drift off to sleep
Nothing more to say
You’ll be on your way to a dream
Follow a moonbeam
They glow through the night
Sleepy sleep tight
Everything wonderful, sleep

Time to lay me down
Everyone is falling asleep
No one here but us
Cuddle up and just drift away
Over the rooftop or float out to sea
Wherever you go
Everything wonderful, sleep

Can’t describe the feeling
To sleep through the night
Rest is oh, so healing
So healing, ahhh
Sleep through the night
Sleepy sleep tight
Everything wonderful, sleep
