We decided to release it this way in order to give families a toolbox: one cd for partytime, uptime, energytime, wildtime; one cd for downtime, snuggletime, cozytime, bedtime. We would love feedback on the double-album format. Let us know what you think! charity@jamjamjam.com

Track Name: Get Your Booty Out of Bed
when the sun begins its risin’
and the day’s self-realizin’
well it’s time to get up, time to wake up
when your dreams are fleetly flittin’
and reality is hittin’
well it’s time to get up, time to wake up
when the darkness is retreatin’
and your belly feels like eatin’
then it’s time to get up, time to wake up
it’s time to stretch out of your lazies
and invite in all the crazies
time to rally, rise and shine
open up your sleepy mind

it’s time to get your booty out of bed
jump down, turn around, what I said
shake those cobwebs outta your head
get your booty out get your booty out
get your booty outta bed

well it’s time to go explorin’
but your grownups are still snorin’
well it’s time to get up, time to wake up
so you tiptoe into their room
sneaky creepy in the gloom
because it’s time to get up, time to wake up
and then you jump on ‘em and scream!
crashin’ right into their dreams
oh yeah it’s time to get up, time to wake up
sayin’, let’s go play!
and make pancakes today
it’s time to rally, rise and shine
open up your sleepy mind

Track Name: Pancakes
the eggs come from the chickens in the yard

the berries come from the bushes on the hill

Track Name: Some More S'mores
oh I hiked into the forest with my big boots on
on a quest to find the perfect spot to camp ‘til dawn
I had all my campin’ gear in in the pack on my back
sleepin’ bag thermarest flashlight bear cord pocket knife compass maps bear sack

well I traveled ‘til I almost reached the mountain top
‘til the settin’ sun told me it was time to stop
then I found a little clearing where the ground was flat
I set up my tent, started to unpack
got a powerful cravin’ for the ultimate campfire snack

you take a graham cracker
and a little piece of chocolate
a roasted marshmallow
and another cracker top of it oh

I’m gonna make some more s’mores
I’m a-gonna make some more s’mores
I’m a-gonna make some more s’mores
they really have it all they really have it all
they really have it all

so I dug a fire pit and gathered up some wood
little twigs and big logs to make it super good
and when the flames got goin’ ‘twas a sight to see
every color of the rainbow
red orange yellow white even violet blue and green

so I went off to search for a roastin’ stick
found a branch a little bit thin a little bit thick
then I hunkered on down to where the coals were burnin’ sweet
and prepared to roast the perfect marshmallow
for the tastiest most spectacular campfire treat

hot sticky, good ‘n’ finger licky
rich sweet a pleasure to eat
crunchy chewy melty ooey-gooey
S O M E M O R E S apostrophe M O R E S
S O M E M O R E S apostrophe M O R E S
S O M E M O R E S apostrophe M O R E YES!

well the moon was full and the stars so bright
I didn’t even need to use my big flashlight
and when I snuggled down deep in my sleepin’ bag bed
I had visions of you-know-what dancin’ through my head
Track Name: Row Row Row Your Boat
row row row your boat
gently down the stream
merrily merrily merrily merrily
life is but a dream
sway sway sway your boat
rock from side to side
merrily merrily merrily merrily
life’s a wild ride
spin spin spin your boat
round and round and round she goes
where-ily where-ily where-ily where-ily
where she stops
nobody knows

jump jump jump your boat
‘til you almost make it tip
merrily merrily merrily merrily
life is a trip
shake rattle and roll your boat
from the stern to the prow
merrily merrily merrily merrily
life is here and now
spin spin spin your boat
round and round and round she goes
where-ily where-ily where-ily where-ily
where she stops
nobody knows

jam!

drum drum drum your boat
find that river rock beat
merrily merrily merrily merrily
life sure is sweet
dance dance dance your boat
boogie down that river blue
merrily merrily merrily merrily
life’s a journey, too
twirl twirl twirl your boat
travelin’ where that river flows
swirl swirl swirl your boat
livin’ all those highs and lows
spin spin spin your boat
round and round and round she goes
where-ily where-ily where-ily where-ily
where she stops
nobody knows
Track Name: Beach
once I went to the beach
and I dug a really really deep hole
tunneled all the way under the sea
to the other side

once I went to the beach
and I brought a ball to kick around
and I kicked it so far it traveled to the stars
and stayed

once I went to the beach
and I built a castle in the sand
and it grew so tall
way up into the clouds
and all around the world
a hundred million times
until it came back to me

I love the beach (na na na na na na)
I love the beach (na na na na na na)
what’s not to love about the beach?
I love everything about the beach

once I went to the beach
and I ran a race in the sand
and I ran so far I made it all the way to Mexico

once I went to the beach
and the big waves were crashin’ down
and I rode the biggest one all the way
to the arctic ocean

once I went to the beach
and somethin’ shiny washed ashore
it was an old glass bottle
I popped off the cork shook it upside down
and out came message
a magical treasure map

once I went to the beach
and all my friends were there
and we played all day ‘til the sun
was sinkin’ low
where does it go?

and as the sun went down
we saw dolphins playin’ in the surf
they jumped so high they made it over
the moon just like that cow
wow!

it was a magical groovy night (la la la)
and we sang every song we knew (woo woo woo)
and we did a little dance in the sand and it goes like this

you go side to side
front to back
turn yourself around
and give a little clap clap
rock your roll
swing your sway
hula your hoop
and ride a really really big wave

sashay to the right
sashay to the left
sidle right on up to the front
and walk it right on back
jump into a star
and shine like a bright sunray
make a little stomp stomp
and shout a little hip hip hooray! ‘cause
we love the beach…
Track Name: Rockstar
you got the music in you
in your blood and in your bones
you got the fire burnin’
showin’ you the way home
you’re ridin’ on that rhythm train
sharin’ your seat with the beat
you’re gonna sing sing sing sing sing
and make ‘em dance

‘cause you’re a rockstar baby
uh huh uh huh
you know how to rock
I know how to rock!
you know how to shine
I know how to shine!
come on you’re a rockstar baby
uh huh uh huh
you know how to rock
I know how to rock!
you know how to shine
you’re so fine

hangin’ out on this little rock
a-hurtlin’ through the sky
at a gajillion miles an hour
now I know you’re gonna ask me why
world turnin’ round and round
everything comes again
you’re gonna love love love love love
and make ‘em dance

you put your feet on the rock
you reach your hands to the stars
open your heart to the love in the air
open your mind to every little thing everywhere
let your soul do the walkin’ now
let your spirit do the talkin’ now
walk dance talk sing
come on baby, do your thing!

lookin’ up from this little rock you see the sun up in the sky
but when the lights go down the truth comes out
it’s just a star in disguise
twinkle twinkle little star you gotta open up your eyes and
shine shine shine shine shine
and make ‘em dance
Track Name: Amazing Rocket Ship
one fine day the sun failed to rise
we all woke up to black and lonely skies
how would we see and how would we grow?
we all need the sun to live, you know!

so we climbed into our amazing rocket ship
10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
blast off! we’re headin’ for the sun

so we flew into space and finally reached the sun
and with our space megaphone, said, “shine, shine!”
well that didn’t work ‘cause he was sleepin’ pretty deep
so we got a runnin’ start and we jumped on him
‘til he laughed a belly laugh and opened up his eyes
and brightened up the skies with his fire
he said, “I guess I’m bone-tired from risin’ in the morn
every single day since the universe was born!”

we and our amaaaaaaaaazing rocket ship
saved the day!

one fine eve the moon failed to wax
stayed a skinny little crescent while a whole long month passed
who would bring the tides and who’d light up the night
we need the moon to be full, that’s right!

so we climbed into our amazing rocket ship
10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
blast off! we’re headin’ to the moon

so we flew into space and finally reached the moon
with our space megaphone yelled, “shine, shine!”
well that didn’t work she was too empty to fill up
so we called the dish and spoon and said, “feed her!”
and we got the dog to laugh and the cat to the play the fiddle
and we even got the cow to jump over her
until she filled right up into her chubby round self
singing, “I was sad and lonely but the party’s sure here now!”

we and our amaaaaaaaaazing rocket ship
saved the day!

one fine night the stars failed to come out
nothin’ up there to twinkle about
how would we wish, and navigate our way
we need the stars to shine, we say!

so we climbed into our amazing rocket ship
10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
blast off! we’re headin’ to the stars

so we flew into space and finally reached the stars
with our space megaphone yelled, “shine, shine!”
well that didn’t work the sky was still black as pitch
so we closed our eyes and wished for a light switch
and right then and there one materialized
so we flicked it on the sky was filled with diamonds
they said, “we love to blink and twinkle all night long
but someone’s gotta remember to turn us on!”

we and our amaaaaaaaaazing rocket ship
saved the day!
Track Name: Into Space
10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 blast off!
how big is the moon?
how many stars are there?
how many molecules in a grain of sand?
how many in a pancake?
how many in the sun?
can stars sing?
what would this song sound like in outer space?
where does the universe end?
how did it get here?
Track Name: We Are Stardust
comes and goes another year
like the light that flies ‘tween us dear
listen to the dry leaf fallin’
through the air what do you hear
bodies earthy like trees growing
minds like ocean water flowing
hearts of love like fire burning
spirits breathing shining learning

we are stardust
we are shiny
we are huge and
we are tiny
we are ancient
we are new
we are me and
we are you
we are mother
we are father
we are son and
we are daughter
we are newborn
we are olden
we are stardust
we are golden

shine your soul upon your shadows
ask them in for conversation
hold it all in just this moment
can you watch it fly away
what is my love for you darlin’
sun or moon or ray of starshine
now the flower hears the mornin’
singing’ love songs to the dew
