Major Scale
01:24
|
|||
the major scale has a happy sound
eight notes up and eight notes down
starts down low and climbs up high
then walks right down the other side
the first note's so far down
it's underneath the ground
the second's also low
feel it wiggle in your toes
and the third makes three
feel it shakin' in your knees
and the fourth is in your pelvis
makes you dance like elvis
and the fifth makes five
feel your belly shake and jive
and the sixth is in your heart
where the music really starts
and the seventh is up here
and it's very very near
to the octave, number eight
flying high and sounding great

hear that old steam whistle blow
way up high, down sweet and low
I said, hear that old steam whistle blow
way up high, down sweet and low
whoo whoo…whoo whoo…whoo whoo…
train rollin' through a tunnel so dark
see those wheels throw up a spark
I said, train rollin' through a tunnel so dark
hear those wheels throw up a spark
ts ts ts…ts ts ts…ts ts ts…
big steam engine comin' round the bend
blowin' steam like it'll never end, I said
big steam engine comin' round the bend
blowin' steam like it'll never end

Scarf Dance
03:15
|

scarves up, scarves down
scarves up, scarves down
scarves up, scarves down
twirl 'em 'round and 'round and 'round
and twirl 'em 'round and 'round and 'round
scarves wide, scarves across
scarves wide, scarves across
scarves wide, scarves across
then you crumple 'em up
into a tiny little ball
until you think they're lost
oh no!
where did they go?
how are you gonna find 'em?
you're gonna shake, shake your scarves
you're gonna shake, shake your scarves
you're gonna walk with your scarves
and then you're gonna run with your scarves…run really really really fast
you're gonna drop 'em
and pick 'em right up
and have some fun with your scarves

I See the World
01:30
|
|||
feet on the ground, hands in the sky
toes pointin' down, head headin' high
oh, I see the world in the usual way
I'm gonna try something different today
feet to the right, hands to the left
toes pointin' east, head headin' west
oh, I see the world in a different way
when I'm hangin' out sideways
hands on the ground, feet in the sky
head headin' down, toes pointin' high
oh, I see the world in the opposite way
I'm gonna hang out upside down all day

Upside Down
03:04
|
|||
upside down, upside down
I said, upside down, upside down
yes, I said, upside down, upside down
I said, upside down, upside down
when my world is upside down
the trees grow down from the sky
rain falls up from clouds on the ground
and sunset becomes a sunrise
when my world is upside down
the mountains are a roof overhead
the floor's a carpet of twinkling stars
and the moon's way down there
instead of up high
the moon's way down there instead
when my up side is down
my down side is up
da doodle oot … dup
when my world is upside down
my frown turns into a smile
my tears dry up 'cause they can't fall down
I think I'll hang out here awhile
when my world is upside down
I have a different point of view
a new perspective, an open mind
it's like takin' a walk in your shoes, oh yeah,
like takin' a walk in your shoes

Namaste
02:41
|
|||
stretch my arms into the sky, so high
all the way down to my toes, so low
spread them out to either side, so wide
hug myself with all my might, so tight
that's how I use my arms today...namaste
I stand on my legs tall and long, so strong
or make a triangle, you see, 1 2 3
squat into a little ball, so small
fold them like a pretzel would, feels good
that's how I use my legs today...namaste
how my body loves to move, in the groove
I dance and dance until I drop...
stop stop stop
then lie right down upon my back, relax
and watch my breath move in and out
in and out
in and out
|
||||
15. |
||||
lay down my dear children
lay down and take your rest
you're gonna lay your head
on your mama's chest
I love you, oh but she loves you the best
and I bid you so long, farewell, good-bye
lie still and feel the music
coursing through your skin and bones
and if you listen close and quiet
you'll hear a song in your soul
you gotta sing your song
for the world that loves you so
and I bid you so long, farewell, good-bye…
and I bid you so long, farewell, good-bye…
and I bid you so long, farewell, good-bye…
