Intro
Do do do do do do Do do do do Do do do do do do Do do do do 

Verse
Let’s pretend that we’re little monkeys eating bananas 
Swinging through coconut trees so high they touch the sky, but we’re not scared; why don’t we try?
Let’s pretend we’re under the ocean in a submarine
You and me watching the fish swim by while we stay dry; a thousand feet down, won’t that be nice?  

Chorus
It’s magic how we can be anything we want to be
Imagination is all we need for fun adventures and dreams 
Think a happy thought; pick a time and place; we’ll make up a game that we all can play
The best part about it is we always make new friends – so let’s pretend

Midtro
Do do do do do do Do do do do Do do do do do do Do do do do

Verse
Let’s pretend we’re up in a spaceship off to the moon 
Racing a comet across the stars, heading to Mars; we can go anywhere – near or far
Let’s pretend that we’re in a circus; I’ll be a juggler  
You be a clown with a big red nose in baggy clothes; lions and tigers … oh, what a show !!

Chorus
It’s magic how we can be anything we want to be
Imagination is all we need for fun adventures and dreams 
Think a happy thought; pick a time and place; we’ll make up a game that we all can play
The best part about it is we always make new friends – so let’s pretend

Midtro
Do do do do do do Do do do do 

Bridge
A race car driver, a movie star; a superhero or a king or queen   
A cowboy, a cowgirl, the president; you can be everything you dream

Chorus
It’s magic how we can be anything we want to be
Imagination is all we need for fun adventures and dreams 
Think a happy thought; pick a time and place; we’ll make up a game that we all can play
The best part about it is we always make new friends – so let’s pretend

Outro
Do do do do do do Do do let’s pretend Do do do do do do Do do let’s pretend

Let's Pretend

Verse  
Oh, let’s all sing a little song about laughing; laughing is the best kind of sound
Let’s sing a little song about laughing, spread a little smile all around
Let’s sing a little song about laughing; everybody laugh out loud
We’ll laugh a little here and laugh a little there and laugh until the sun goes down

Verse  
Oh, let’s all sing a little song about snoring; snoring is a funny kind of sound
Let’s sing a little song about snoring, spread a little fun all around
Let’s sing a little song about snoring; everybody snore out loud
We’ll snore a little here and snore a little there and snore when the sun goes down

Verse  
Oh, let’s all sing a little song about sneezing; sneezing is a noisy kind of sound
Let’s sing a little song about sneezing, spread a little noise all around
Let’s sing a little song about sneezing; everybody sneeze out loud
We’ll sneeze a little here and sneeze a little there and sneeze until the sun goes down

Verse  
Oh, let’s all sing a little song about crying; crying is a sad kind of sound
Let’s sing a little song about crying – 

[Spoken] wait a minute, let’s not sing about crying
That’s too sad; let’s sing about something happy 

Verse  
Let’s sing a little song about clapping; clapping is a very happy sound
Let’s sing a little song about clapping and spread a little joy all around
Let’s sing a little song about clapping; everybody clap out loud
We’ll clap a little here and clap a little there 
We’ll sneeze a little here and sneeze a little there
We’ll snore a little here and snore a little there 
We’ll laugh a little here and laugh a little there 
And we’ll sing ‘til the sun goes down

Sing A Little Song

Chorus
Let’s play together
It’s always better
To share whenever we can 
A little bit of mine with a little bit of yours  
And we both have more than we had 

Verse
I got a ball so let’s play catch
I’ll throw it to you, you throw it back
Toss it up high and watch it fall
I like this game where we share a ball

Chorus
That’s how we do it
There’s nothing to it
Sharing is so much fun 
A little bit of mine with a little bit of yours  
And we both have more when we’re done 

Verse
You have some paints and I have a brush
Let’s make a picture for both of us
You paint a sky and I’ll paint some birds
I like to paint when we take turns

Chorus
That’s how we do it
There’s nothing to it
Sharing is so much fun 
A little bit of yours with a little bit of mine  
And we both have more when we’re done

The Sharing Song

Wake up, it’s a beautiful day
Hey sleepy head, get out of bed 
Wake up, it’s a beautiful day
It’s time for you to rise and shine 

Verse
We can have breakfast, a glass of juice and eat a tall stack of pancakes
Play in the park just me and you
Hide and seek or Simon Says 
Wake up, it’s a beautiful day
It’s time for you to rise and shine

Wake up, it’s a beautiful day
The sun’s so bright, not a cloud in the sky 
Wake up, it’s a beautiful day
It’s time for you to rise and shine

We can take a walk and skip some stones down at the old mill pond
Head into town and get an ice cream cone and pile the sprinkles on and on 
Wake up, it’s a beautiful day
It’s time for you to rise and shine 

Bridge
The whole wide world is waiting for you to finally come outside
C’mon let’s go, there’s a lot to do
The only thing you need is a smile 

Chorus
Wake up, it’s a beautiful day
Put on your clothes and off we go  
Wake up, it’s a beautiful day
It’s time for you to rise and shine 
It’s time for you to rise and shine 
It’s time for you to rise and shine

Wake Up

Let’s make some s’mores

Smush it all together, a s’more’s what you’ve got

This one is yours, let’s make some more

Verse
You can fly way up high like a bird in the sky, ride a rainbow and find where it came from
With your feet on the ground, you can soar through the clouds
All you need is imagination

You could go to the moon on a big red balloon in a bright silver suit like an alien 
And eat green cheese with the moon kids you meet
All you need is imagination

Chorus
Close your eyes, throw your arms out wide and picture what you want to do
A box is a castle, a towel’s a cape, a ruler’s a wand, it’s up to you

Verse
Would you like to explore the deep ocean floor, see the fish and the whales and crustaceans?  
In your own submarine you can watch everything
All you need is imagination

If you rode on a horse with a shield and a sword and rescued a lost fairy maiden 
To repay what you did, she could grant you a wish
All you need is imagination

Chorus
Close your eyes, throw your arms out wide and picture what you want to do
A stool is a spaceship, two chairs are a plane, a pan is a drum, it’s up to you

Verse
You could lead the way in your own parade on a float that is shaped like a dragon 
Marching right behind are a million fireflies
All you need is imagination
All you need is imagination
All you need is imagination

Imagination

Lyric & Music: Kevin Reardon     

Chorus
Hey, let’s go off to the playground
All our friends will be there, too
Hey, let’s go, it’s time to play now
Fun for me and you

Verse
My favorite thing is the merry-go-round
It spins fast, hang on tight 
I like the slide and the monkey bars, and the tire tube swing that goes so high
Hey, let’s go off to the playground
Fun for me and you 

Chorus
Hey, let’s go down to the beach
Build sand castles by the sea 
Hey, let’s go, it’s going to be fun for you and me

Verse
Put on our swim suit, pack a lunch
Mom’s in the car and ready to roll
The sun is shining, the waves are small
I hope the water’s not too cold
Hey, let’s go down to the beach
Fun for you and me

Chorus
Hey, let’s go up in my treehouse
Climb the ladder, don’t look down
Hey, let’s go up in the tree tops
Fun above the ground

Verse
We’ll make new friends when the birds stop by to chirp in the branches far above 
If we see a nest, be real quiet
We don’t want to wake the baby birds up
Hey, let’s go up in my treehouse
Fun above the ground

Outro
Hey, let’s go to the treehouse, playground, and beach
Fun for you and me 
Hey, let’s go

Hey Let's Go

Verse
We all know we have to clean our mess after we play
But we can make it fun if we can play a dancing game
All we need to do is find a very happy sound
We can pick up all our toys while we just dance around
Like this
Like this

We need to straighten up our room before we go to school
It isn’t right to leave a mess for someone else to do 
All we need to do is find a very happy sound
We’ll make it neat and tidy while we just dance around

Cleaning up is not so bad, we can have fun, we can laugh
We’ll whistle a song so we can dance and put our things away

Verse
They are big and gray with a nose that’s a trunk
Two floppy ears and some have tusks
A skinny tail that swats off bugs
That’s an elephant

Most live in the bush in Africa
Some walk down the streets of India
Some roam the mountains up above 
That’s an elephant 

Bridge
Elephants are huge but they are gentle, too
Elephants are all our friends
They want to have fun like me and you   
Me and you

Verse
They all like to eat plants and leaves from trees
And drink from a river whenever they please 
Believe it or not they’re afraid of bees
That’s an elephant

Bridge
Elephants are strong, they can lift heavy things
Elephants never forget
They’re loyal and love their families    
That’s so sweet

Verse
They take a bath in a river when the day is hot
And roll in the mud when it rains a lot
They lie in the sun on a really big rock 
That’s an elephant

They can run fast but they can’t jump
They shake the ground when they stomp
They make a sound like a trumpet does 
That’s an elephant
That’s an elephant
That’s an elephant

That's An Elephant

Lyric & Music: Kevin Reardon

Chorus
Don’t forget to be there for your pets
They’re depending on you
We can get busy with school and friends
But pets need time with us, too

Verse
Dogs need to walk and cats need to purr
And fish need a bowl that’s clean
Hamsters and gerbils, lizards and birds  
All need food and a safe place to sleep

Chorus
Don’t forget to be there for your pets 
They’re depending on you
We can get busy with school and friends
But pets need time with us, too

Bridge
Fuzzy, furry friends 
Like to have their coats well brushed
Whatever kind of pet you have needs something
Show them all your love

Chorus
Don’t forget to be there for your pets 
They’re depending on you
We can get busy with school and friends
But pets need time with us, too

Verse
Whenever you can just talk to them
They like the sound of your voice
Give them a smile and spend a little while   
To play a game with their favorite toy

Chorus
Don’t forget to be there for your pets 
They’re depending on you
We can get busy with school and friends
But pets need time with us, too
Don’t forget to be there for your pets 
Cause pets need time with us, too

Be There For Your Pets

Chorus
Opposite words are fun, they mean totally different things
Let’s play a game and you’ll see what I mean
I’ll say a word, you tell me what the opposite is
It’s not too hard, but you must be quick   
Let’s play it now

Verse
I’ll say bottom, you say top
I’ll say cold, you say hot
I’ll say robber and you say cop
You’re doing great, let’s not stop
I’ll say up, you say down
I’ll say smile, you say frown
I’ll say later and you say now
The opposite of sky is on the ground

Chorus
There’s so many words, big and small, let’s find them all
In the opposites game
Let’s play again

Verse
I’ll say high, you say low
I’ll say new, you say old 
I’ll say push, you say pull 
I’ll say stay, you say go
I’ll say rooster, you say hen
I’ll say straight, you say bent 
I’ll say enemy, you say friend
That was fun, let’s play it again

Chorus
There’s so many words, big and small, let’s find them all 
In the opposites game
In the opposites game

The Opposites Game

Lyric: Kevin Reardon & Tim Koerber; Music: Kevin Reardon 

Verse
If my bones could talk, they’d have so much to say  
They’ve been with me since I was born and stretched me to new lengths
They’ve had a constant job, holding me up from bottom to top 
I can’t imagine life without ‘em
Wouldn’t look good as a blob
 
Chorus
I got bones in my arms and legs
They shape the look of my face
They are best friends with my muscles and together we ride my bike 
They protect my brain and heart and lungs and everything else inside
I like my bones
 
Verse 
If my bones could sing, I bet they’d sing these songs 
The Hokey Pokey, Jack Be Nimble, Pop Goes The Weasel and Sticks & Stones
They keep me on my toes with calcium and marrow
Mom says if I drink my milk, they’ll hold me straight and narrow
 
Chorus
I got bones in my arms and legs
They shape the look of my face
They are best friends with my muscles and together we ride my bike 
They protect my brain and heart and lungs and everything else inside 
 
Bridge
Bones can seem a little spooky when skeletons go out to play 
But they keep me growing and its sure good knowing they heal up when they break

Chorus
I got bones in my arms and legs
They shape the look of my face
They are best friends with my muscles and together we ride my bike 
They protect my brain and heart and lungs and everything else inside
I like my bones

Verse
I heard you found somebody new 
Who makes you feel love is real the way I used to 
I know you tried to save our love
But I couldn’t see all you meant to me 

Chorus
I let U go
I was so blind I let U go
And I died inside when you said goodbye but I let U go
I should have begged you to stay, swallowed my pride but I didn’t and now you’re gone  
Time can’t change the truth
I was a fool when I let U go 

Verse
I got confused lost in work 
Thought you’d always be there for me but I put a job first 
You only wanted to share our love 
Now you’ve gone away and it’s all too late

Chorus
I let U go
I was so blind I let U go
And I died inside when you said goodbye but I let U go
I should have begged you to stay, swallowed my pride but I didn’t and now you’re gone  
Time can’t change the truth
I was a fool when I let U go 

Bridge
I’ll never stop being torn up inside, but my heart still wishes you well 
You’ll always be a part of my life but when you left, I lost part of myself

Chorus
Oh, I let U go
I was so blind I let U go
And I died inside when you said goodbye but I let U go
I should have begged you to stay, swallowed my pride but I didn’t and now you’re gone  
Time can’t change the truth
I was a fool when I let U go 
I let U go


I Let U Go

Verse:  
I miss you now … on the road tonight
The only thing I want … is just to hold you tight. 
I thought I could fill our lives up with my greatest hopes and dreams
But it’s empty here … and the loneliness just screams …  

Chorus: 
It all comes down to love … and for me … your love means everything  
It all comes down to love … ‘cause I finally see … you are all I need
It all comes down to love 

Verse:  
To have and hold … through good and bad  
Those words give me strength … remind me what I have
Out here in this big ol’ world, what I’ve been searching for
Was always waiting there … behind that front porch door

Chorus: 
It all comes down to love … and for me … your love means everything  
It all comes down to love … ‘cause I finally see … you are all I need
It all comes down to love 

Bridge:  
This job’s been what I’ve lived for… in a world that steals our soul
Everything is nothing …until we really know…

Chorus: 
It all comes down to love … and for me … your love means everything  
It all comes down to love … ‘cause I finally see … you are all I need
It all comes down to love 

It all comes down to love.

All Comes Down To Love

Verse
There’s no snow upon the ground but there’s a sparkle this time of year
Palm trees sway and glisten in the moonlight, as people laugh with holiday cheer
Luminaries abound; their candles flicker in a row 
This will be a desert Christmas just like Christmas long ago 

Verse
On this silent, holy night, friends and family come to share
Giving thanks and praise like the Magi did; their gifts are wrapped with love and care 
High above a star so bright shines its light on every home 
This will be a desert Christmas just like Christmas long ago 

Bridge
Against the twinkling starry sky, you can hear a coyote call 
A desert dove lifts into flight; the sign of peace for one and all

Verse
There’s no snow upon the ground but the magic’s everywhere, and so …
This will be a desert Christmas just like Christmas long ago 

Outro
This will be a desert Christmas just like Christmas long ago

Desert Christmas

Lyric & Music: Kevin Reardon

Verse 
Bing bong – the church clock chimes play a holiday song – sweet and low
Ding-a-ling – the jingle of sleigh bells ring as they wing across the snow
In town – the streets are decked out all around with glittery trim
At last – the yuletide season has come to pass; once again   

Chorus
Its Christmas time; children’s laughter fills the air
Faces lit with smiles; caring, sharing everywhere
Christmas time brings thanks and joy to life 
Hope and peace and a holiday feast make the season bright at Christmas time  

Verse 
Yum Yum – the gingerbread cookies are almost done – they smell so nice 
Whoopee – Daddy puts the star on the top of the tree – and lights the lights  
Up above – the stars in the night shine down with love – make your wish! 
Ho-ho-ho – Santa’s on his way through the sky he goes – lickety-split

Chorus
Its Christmas time; children’s laughter fills the air
Faces lit with smiles; caring, sharing everywhere
Christmas time brings thanks and joy to life 
Hope and peace and a holiday feast make the season bright at Christmas time 

Bridge
Good friends and family come together 
Near or far, they’re in our hearts; another year to remember

Chorus
Its Christmas time; children’s laughter fills the air
Faces lit with smiles; caring, sharing everywhere
Christmas time brings thanks and joy to life 
Hope and peace and a holiday feast make the season bright at Christmas time  
Its Christmas time; its Christmas time
