Where the Wild Things Are
Don't ever lose the boy or girl that lives inside your soul
Don't ever leave it all behind- don't let your heart grow old.
Keep your dreams forever young- let them wander far
Close your eyes It's not too late- no matter who you are-
There's oceans you can sail across there's mountains you can climb
There's a kingdom waiting for a queen- There's castles in your mind
Creatures you thought can't exist, bow down at your command
Close your eyes and look ahead- you'll see this magic land-
Run with me- out where the wild things are
Take my hand we're going where you've never been before
Run with me- out where the wild things are-
Take my hand run with your dreams- you can travel far
Where the Wild Things Are-
Don't forget how good it feels to catch an autumn breeze
Shadows creeping cross the ground- here the laughter of the leaves
Sunrise throwin streaks of paint across the morning skies-
Everyday's a chance to dream if you open up your eyes-

Hey- Mike Mulligan
Out with the old, in with the new
That's what the people in the town want to do-
But your old friend- her name is Maryanne-
No one digs a hole like the two of you can
If there's a job to get done-the two of you are ther
The work might be hard, but you don't even care
From early in the morning to the end of the day
Mike and Maryanne don't know any other way.
Hey- Mike Mulligan
Hey- Mike Mulligan
Gotta dig a hole dig it deep in the ground
Gotta get it done before the sun goes down-
An old machine don't work like one that's new-
But Mike and Maryanne new that simply wasn't true
They said they'd dig a hole and they'd do it in a day-
If they didn't get it done, then they wouldn't get their pay
They came from other cities, they came from other towns
To see Mike and Maryanne dig a hole in the ground-

My Monkey Got Lost
Well I got a little monkey- He's a funny little guy
He's got a fuzzy belly and a twinkly in his eye.
We hang out together and we have a real good time
But sometimes my little monkey is a little hard to find
Chorus
Yea my monkey- My monkey got lost
I said my monkey- my monkey got lost
My monkey likes to ramble my monkey likes to roam
My monkey should be with me yea my monkey should be home
I've been searching here and there-I've been looking around town
I never seem to know just where that monkey can be found
Chorus
Maybe he's at the movies taking in a picture show
Maybe the art museum man you never really know
He's got places he can visit-He's got people he can meet
He might be surfing’ in the ocean-He might be walking down the street
Chorus
When I can't find my monkey I just don't know what to do
He might be at the monkey house down at the city zoo
He might be climbing on a building or be playing in the park
My monkey better get home before it gets too dark-
Chorus-
Ad lib- I'ts Monkey Time- Mon-Monkey Time 2x
Chorus

The 5 Chinese Brothers
I heard about a family livin far across the sea
5 brothers and their mother were as happy as can be
One brother got in trouble -they were there to help them out Cause brothers helpin brothers is what family's all about
When you're the 1-2-3-4-5 chinese brothers
Helpin out each other when a brother needs a hand 12345 chinese brothers
unlike any other family livin in the land
One brother stuck his neck out and another took the heat Another stood above the waves while standing on his feet Another brother held his breath and never once turned blue Cause brothers helpin' brothers is what family's gotta do

Harry the Dirty Dog
There's a dog who lives down on my street who's got trouble staying clean
A little white dog with little white spots, the cutest dog you've ever seen.
He's a happy-go-lucky kind of puppy who's never in a rush.
The only thing that makes him sad is a tub and a scrubbing brush.
He's a happy little puppy, when he's muddy as a hog
You'll never recognize him, he's
Harry the Dirty Dog.
He's all around town, he's down on the ground playing tag with the other dogs.
He running through the dirt, he's rolling through the grass, he's hiding underneath a log.
He's a happy little puppy, when he's muddy as a hog
You'll never recognize him, he's
Harry the Dirty Dog.
When Harry's getting dirty, Harry's having fun.
But when he sees the washtub, Harry's gonna run.

Flat Stanley
Oh my word the bulletin board fell on Stanley's bed
Pick it up and look underneath and make sure that he's not dead He used to be bout 4 foot 8 and about this big around
But now he's no more thicker than that doormat on the ground
Bein Flat is where it's at
You might be thin as a pin
Or fat like a cat
But you've never seen anything quite like Stanley
Flat Stanley 2x
One windy sunday afternoon the sun was shinin bright
we tied a string around his waist and now Stanley was a kite
He started climbin' higher when he caught a good strong breeze Then before you knew it he was stuck up in the trees
Bein flat is lots of fun when you want to travel far
You don't have to take a train, a plane or boat or car
You might want to take the bus, but I got something better If you want to take a trip mail yourself off in a letter

it's a beautiful day for Owen and Mzee
Owen was a baby hippo-who somehow lost his way
Mzee was a grumpy old tortise, who didn't have much to say
Owen couldn't find his family, Own wasn't doing to well.
Mzee at first didn't listen- and kept tight in his shell
But Owen he would follow that tortise-he kept asking him to come out and play
Finally Mzee popped his head in the air and and said-hey Owen whacha' doin' today
Cuz it's a beautiful day for Owen and Mzee
Come on out and play
With Owen and Mzee.
Now sometimes they just walk in the jungle-sometimes they just sit by the stream
Sometimes they get all muddy and Owen says hey buddy-
Lets go swimming in the river and get nice and clean
Two best friends as different as can be
They know how special friends can be
They both feel so good inside
When they're walking through the jungle side by side

Go-Dog-Go
Chorus:
Go- Go -Go Dog Go
Go real fast and go real slow
Drivin' down the road or swimmin' in the sea
We're going to a party at the big old tree-
Verse 1
Things to do, and places to go
Floatin' in a blimp or skiing in the snow
Red dogs green dogs blue dogs too-
You've never seen a dog do the things that they do
Verse 2
Some dogs work hard out in the sun
Some dogs walk and some dogs run
Floatin' in a boat strummin' a guitar
Ridin' like the wind in a racing car
Bridge:
Those crazy dogs- they never seem to stop
They keep on climbing till they reach the top
One thing for sure, and that's a fact
You never see a cat in a hat like that-
