Disc 1: Funtime at Playtime

1. I've Been Playing on the Playground

I've been playing on the playground
All the live long day
I've been palying on the playground
Just to pass the time away
Let's go hang out with our buddies
We'll dance, hop, and skip, jump and run
Let's think up another play game
Come on let's have some fun

Fie, fi, fiddly i o
Fie, fi, fiddly i o
Fie, fi, fiddly i o
Playing on the old playground

2. For He's a Jolly Good Fellow


For he's a jolly good fellow
He's a jolly good fellow
He's a jolly good fellow
Which nobody can deny

For he's a jolly good fellow
He's a jolly good fellow
He's a jolly good fellow
Which nobody can deny

Which nobody can deny
Nobody can deny
For he's a jolly good fellow
He's a jolly good fellow

3. Fingerpainting Fun

It's fingerpainting fun
It's fingerpainting fun
It's fingerpainting fun
it's fingerpainting fun

Take a color and make your day brighter
A splash of color will make you feel lighter
Come along and you will see
What you can do with your hands and feet

Paint an elephant paint a flower
A dragon guarding a princess in a tow
Fingerpainting is the key
To setting your ideas free

it's fingerpainting fun,
It's fingerpainting fun,
You can paint a rainbow with your thumb
A gazillion colors to choose from
Use your fingers, use your toes
And imagination grows and grows

You can paint anything you imagine
A car, a dog, a tree
Create your own work of art

It's fingerpainting fun (repeat)

4. Boom, Boom, Ain't It Great to be Crazy?

Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?
Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?
Giddy and foolish the whole day through
Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy

Way down South where bananas grow
A bee stepped on an elephant's toe
The elephant cried, with tears in his eyes
"Why don't you pick on someone your size?"

Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?
Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?
Giddy and foolish the whole day through
Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy

Way up North where there's ice and snow
There lived a penguin and his name was joe
He got so tired of black and white
He wore pink slacks to the dance last night!

Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?
Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?
Giddy and foolish the whole day through
Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy? (Repeat)

And I’m streaking down the hall

I do the bathtime boogy

6. Swing

Hey, here I go
Starting out slow
But every minute I’m higher
Pumping my knees
Feeling the breeze
Over the trees, I’m a flyer now

Swinging, swinging
Sweet and high and free
Feel like singing
That is where I long to be
To and then fro
High and then low
Just like a cloud that I’m riding
Up in the air
Without a care
Watching the world
As I’m gliding high.

7. Lucy Locket

Lucy Locket lost her pocket
Kitty Fisher found it
But ne’re a penny was there in it
‘cept the binding round it

Lucy Locket where’d it go
We can’t find your penny
Find the pocket and the rest
And you will have so many

Lucy Locket found her pocket
Right where she had left it
Kitty Fisher jumped for joy
As if she had never lost it
Lucy Locket keep it up
So glad we found your penny
Wore the pocket in your hand
And always be so grandly

Lucy Locket flew to space
She built a shiny rocket
Traveled to the moon and back
Because she couldn’t walk it
Lucy Locket keep it up
Lucy Locket dandy
Fly so high reach to the sky
Your spaceship is so handy

10. Playtime Polka

I can’t wait ‘til naptime’s over
There’s so many things to do
I can make believe I’m flying
Or I’ll be a kangaroo
No more toys and books and puzzles
Are all neatly put away
‘cause it’s time to do the polka
I can sing, and dance and play
Yes, we’ll do the playtime polka
And we’ll dance the day away.
Repeat

The old gray mare,
She ain't what she used to be
Ain't what she used to be,
Ain't what she used to be
The old gray mare,
She ain't what she used to be
Many long years ago.

Many long years ago,
Many long years ago,
The old gray mare,
She ain't what she used to be
Many long years ago.

The old gray mare
She kicked on the apple tree
Kicked on the apple tree
Kicked on the apple tree
The old gray mare she kicked on the apple tree
Many long years ago
Many long years ago
The old gray mare she kicked on the apple tree
Many long, many long, many long, years ago

14. Let's Pretend

I'd like to dance with the pirouette
I love to paly with my tea set
I love to paly pretend wthat's with all my friends
Dress up skip and sing
I'd love to dream of far off lands
I'd like to play in big brass bands
Each day's a fun adventure
When I remember to play pretend

I'll rocket to the moon
Fly a red balloon
Drive a fast car, all before noon
Cops and roobers, kings and pirates
To pretending's what I do
I'll jump and skin, paly magic tricks
Even play drums with candle sticks
Build a boat and sail the ocean
To pretending's what I do

I'd love to dream of far off lands
I'd like to play in big brass bands
Each day's a fun adventure
When I remember to play pretend

15. Brand New Day

When the sun peeps over the mountain tops
And lights up the sky, and it never stops
I open my eyes and say, it’s a brand new day
Brand new day, shout hurray
Here’s a fresh new way to look at life and say
It’s OK. It just keeps getting better every day

You can be anything that you want to be
It’s in your heart, if you just be me
Open your eyes and see possibilities
Brand new day, it’s OK
New worlds of opportunities
All right day or night
No matter what the weather
Everything looks better. Brand new day

See the light on your horizon
And feel the tide is rising
But when your stock is falling
Tomorrow’s promise is coming
Brand new day, come on and play
There’s a whole new way of feeling about life
About love, everything is better
Just keeps getting better every day

Brand new day, come on and play
There’s a whole new way of feeling
About life, about love, everything is better
Just keeps getting better everyday
Come on shout hurray! It’s a brand new day!

I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy
A Yankee Doodle, do or die
A real live nephew of my Uncle Sam
Born on the Fourth of July

I've got a Yankee Doodle sweetheart
She's my Yankee Doodle joy

Just to ride the ponies
I am that Yankee Doodle Boy (Repeat)

3. Clementine

In a cavern, in a canyon
Excavating for a dime
Lived a miner, forty-niner
And his daughter Clementine

Chorus:
Oh my darling, oh my darling
Oh my darling, Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry, Clementine

Light she was and like a fairy
And her shoes were number nine
Herring boxes without topses
Sandals were for Clementine
Chorus

How I missed her, how I missed
How I missed my Clementine
But I kissed her little sister
And forgot my Clementine
Chorus

4. Spirit of America

In a cavern, in a canyon
Excavating for a dime
Lived a miner, forty-niner
And his daughter Clementine

Chorus:
Oh my darling, oh my darling
Oh my darling, Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry, Clementine

Light she was and like a fairy
And her shoes were number nine
Herring boxes without topses
Sandals were for Clementine
Chorus

How I missed her, how I missed
How I missed my Clementine
But I kissed her little sister
And forgot my Clementine
Chorus

5.The Yellow Rose of Texas

There’s a Yellow Rose of Texas
That I am going to see
No other fellow knows her
No other, only me
She cried so when I left her
It almost broke my heart
And if I ever find her
We never more will part

She’s the sweetest rose in color
A feller ever knew
Her eyes are bright like diamonds
They sparkle like the dew
You may talk about your dearest May
And sing of Rosalie
But the Yellow Rose of Texas
Beats the belles of Tennessee

Now I’m going to find her
For my heart is full of woe
And we’ll sing this song together
That we sang so long ago
We’ll play the banjo gaily
And we’ll sing this song of yore
And the Yellow Rose of Texas
Shall be mine forever more.

6. Big Rock Candy Mountain

On a summer day in the month of May
A burley man came hiking
Down a shady lane through the sugar cane
He was looking for his liking

As he roamed along he sang a song
Of the land of milk and honey
Where a bum can stay for many-a day
And he won't need any money

Oh, the buzzing of the bees in the jelly bean trees
Near the soda water fountain
At the lemonade springs where the bluebird sings
In the Big Rock Candy Mountain

7. Bill Bailey

Won’t you come home Bill Bailey?
Won’t you come home?
She moans the whole day long
I’ll do the cooking darling
I’ll pay the rent
I know I’ve done you wrong.

‘Member that rainy evening?
I throw you out
With nothing but a fine toothed comb

I know I’m to blame
Well ain’t that a shame Bill Bailey
Won’t you please come home?

8. The Pledge of Allegiance Song

Recite Pledge
I pledge allegiance to the flag
Of the United States of America
And to the republic for which it stands
One nation under God
Indivisible, with liberty and justice for all
I pledge allegiance to the flag
God bless us one and all
Recite Pledge

Indivisible, with liberty and justice for all

And all kinds of fruit and say

But YES! We have no bananas
We have no bananas today

10. The Eerie Canal

I've got me a mule,
Her name is Sal,
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal.
She's a good old worker
And a good old pal,
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal.

We've hauled some barges in our day
Filled with lumber, coal and hay
And we know ev'ry inch of the way we go
From Albany to Buffalo.

Low Bridge, ev'rybody down,
Low Bridge,
We're coming to a town!
And you’ll always know your neighbor,
You’ll always know your pal,
If you’ve ever navigated
On the Erie Canal.

11. Home on the Range

Oh, give me a home where the buffalo roam
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day

Home, home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day

Where the air is so pure, and the zephyrs so free
The breezes so balmy and light
That I would not exchange my home on the range
For all of the cities so bright
Chorus

How often at night where the heavens are bright
With the light from the glittering stars
Have I stood there amazed and asked as I gazed
If their glory exceeds that of ours
Chorus

12. Lavender's Blue

Lavender’s blue, dilly-dilly

When I am king, dilly-dilly, you shall be queen

Who told you so?, dilly-dilly
Who told you so?
’Twas mine own heart, dilly-dilly
That told me so

Oh, no, Mother, I won't get up
I won't get up today
