LYRICS, by Christine Winchetester (c) 2025

Verse 1:
She came into our lives a decade ago
After searching for her for two years or so
We put out the word and we checked everyday
Then a shelter sent her profile: Come meet Daisy May

Before she arrived, I never had this role.
I had a hamster as a kid, and two fish in a bowl
We did it for our daughter, but it ended up
We all came to love that adorable pup

Chorus:
And it's "Fill up my bowl, please" and "Daddy, play fetch!"
She gave us such purpose, I know we've been blessed
As I look back on precious mem'ries, I recall
My days with Mayzie were the best days of all

Verse 2:
I cherish every walk we took on my street
She helped me to talk to strangers I'd meet
She could push my patience to frustration some days
But her cute face looking up melted anger away

Every time she coughed or stumbled, I felt it
We aged together, and together we dealt with it
Even at 15, she'd leap and run
Teaching me: never forget to have fun.		

[Repeat Chorus above]

Bridge:
So many hours she'd lie by my side
Her dark eyes spoke without words
The way she followed me upstairs and down
Said she loved me, and she knew I heard

[Repeat Chorus above]

Tag (last 2 lines of chorus):
As we look back on precious mem'ries, we recall
Our days with Mayzie were the best days of all

How many ways can you say "Hello"? Here are a dozen different greetings from the four corners of the globe. This is Mr. David's favorite opening number.

Hello!

An out-of-this-world fantasyland with gravity-defying teeter-totters, rocket-powered pirate ships and a time-warp roller-coaster.

Outer Space Playground

Based on a quote from a little boy who figured if his nose was as big as the one on the dog next door, he could smell distant lunar blooms.

NASA/s intrepid interplanetary twins, Spirit and Opportunity, join an Elvis impersonator to recount each phase of their exciting mission to Mars.

A celebration of all critters, great and small: some sing low, some sing higher, some just clap their hands or paws or anything they got.
