JUMP AND JIVE By Dana Cohenour © 2016 Here’s a little dance called the Jump and Jive (Jump, jump, jump and jive) It’ll flip your slipper by the count of five (One, two, three, four, five!) All the busy bees are comin’ out of their hive (Buzz, buzz, buzz and jive!) To do the jump, jump, jump and jive CHORUS Juuummmp! Jump and jive! Juuummmp! Jump and jive! Put your shoes in overdrive And do the juuuummmp! Jump and jive! Get your hands clappin’ to the beat (Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap) Twist, twist, twist, baby twist your feet (Twist, twist, twist your feet) Point your fingers, take a dive (Point point, take a dive)) And do the jump, jump, jump and jive CHORUS Hoppin’ around like a boppin’ bunny (Hop, hop, hop and bop) All my moves are sweet as honey (Hop, hop, hop and bop) All the kangaroos wanna borrow my shoes (Jump, jump, jump and jive) ‘Cuz this little jive just lights my fuse!

WIGGLE WORKOUT By Dana Cohenour © 2016 CHORUS: Hey, everybody! It’s time to workout! Healthy and strong, that’s what we’re about Gotta take care of our bodies, ‘cuz we’ve only got one Let’s get our muscles movin’ and have some fun! Get the party started with a run in place C’mon—you can do it with a smile on your face Put the pedal to the metal, pick up the pace We gotta run fast if we’re gonna win the race Jill got up the hill ‘cuz she did jumpin’ jacks In and out jumps, no time to relax! We need to work off those mid-morning snacks Move a little faster, take it to the max CHORUS Touch your elbow to your knee Now wave your arms like you’re shooin’ a flea Stretch up tall as an evergreen tree Flap your wings like a buzzin’ bumble bee BRIDGE: Woo! Woo! Let’s wiggle while we workout! Woo! Woo! Let’s wiggle while we workout! Choo! Choo! Spin your wheels! C’mon everybody, tell me how good this feels! Let’s take a breather, you know I’m older than you! Workin’ out gets sweaty and maybe smelly, too! But that’s OK, we’re getting healthy as can be We eat things that are green, we even drink green tea! March, march, march! Bring your knees to your chest We’ve got lots of time later when we can rest Hop side to side, put your body to the test Doesn’t matter if we’re perfect, we just do our best BRIDGE CHORUS (2X)

BARNYARD HOEDOWN By Dana Cohenour © 2016 Last Saturday night, down on the farm There was hootin’ and hollerin’, cause for alarm I ran to the barn to take a look see And find out what the fuss might be The barn was shakin’ as I peeked in the door Animals were dancin’, stompin’ the floor Hay was flyin’, and what do you know? The rooster was playin’ an old banjo! Cows were in line, coupled in pairs Swinging in circles, dancin’ in squares The barn owl gave a hoot and holler… Turns out he was a square dance caller! (Whooo knew?!) CHORUS: He said, “Whooo’s your partner? Do si do Swing your partner, to and fro Promenade right outta town It’s a mooin’, whooin’, cockadoodledooin’ (mooin’, whooin’, cockadoodledooin’ Barnyard hoedown!” (Hoedown!) The pigs and chickens joined the line For poultry and swine, they danced just fine Owl yelled, “Now, weave the ring!” Everyone else said, “What’s that mean?” The horse and donkey were kickin’ their hooves Makin’ some pretty fancy moves With a bray and a neigh, and a left sashay They took a break for a bite of hay CHORUS: Owl yelled, “Whooo’s your partner? Do si do Swing your partner, to and fro Promenade right outta town It’s a neighin’, brayin’, oinkin’ and a cluckin, mooin’, whooin’, cockadoodledooin’ barnyard hoedown!” (Hoedown!) The dog and the sheep jumped right in With a whirl and a twirl and a wild spin The duck and goose really let loose Dancing on top of a giant moose (A moose?! A moose!) CHORUS: Owl yelled, “Whooo’s your partner? Do si do Swing your partner, to and fro Promenade right outta town It’s a squawkin’, quackin’, barkin’ and a baaain’, neighin’, brayin’, oinkin’ and a cluckin, mooin’, whooin’, cockadoodledooin’ barnyard hoedown!” (Hoedown!) I was standing there watching this crazy fray When the goose took a gander over my way He squawked, “Who are you? Were you invited? Well, come on in! We’d be delighted!” CHORUS: Owl yelled, “Whooo’s your partner? Do si do Swing your partner, to and fro Promenade right outta town It’s a squakin’, quackin’, barkin’ and a baaain’, neighin’, brayin’, oinkin’ and a cluckin, mooin’, whooin’, cockadoodledooin’ barnyard hoedown!” (Hoedown!)

DO MY PART By Dana Cohenour © 2016 Everybody look around, there’s lots of things to do We’ve gotta clean up this mess we made, it’s up to me and you If every person does a little, big things will get done So let’s all come together, there’s a job for everyone CHORUS: (repeats twice) I’m gonna do do do my part I’m gonna do do do my share I’m gonna show the world How much I care When you see there’s something that is needing to be done Jump right in and get it started, why not be the one To be the first to lend a hand and make our world a better place Leave things better than you found them, leave behind no trace CHORUS We rinse and recycle bottles and cans and all our paper, too We find a way to re-use things and make them something new To make our soil rich and fertile, scraps go in the compost pile It’s these little things we do that make our planet smile CHORUS

GRANDMA’S KITCHEN BAND By Dana Cohenour © 2016 My Grandma’s as cool as they come She can play the fiddle and bang a drum She can give her banjo a serious strum While she’s blowin’ bubbles with her chewin’ gum When I was little, I didn’t have a fiddle But Grandma found a way for me to play She got out her metal mixing bowl Gave me a spoon and said, “Rock and roll!” CHORUS: Grab a pot, grab a pan Find a wooden bowl or an old tin can Bang it with a spoon, bang it with your hand We’re cookin’ up fun in Grandma’s kitchen band When I’d visit, I was always hopin’ Grandma’s cupboards would soon be open “Looky here! Look what I found!” She’d say, “Lots of things here to make a musical sound… let’s pound!” CHORUS Put bells on your feet and stomp on a cookie sheet Pick up a stick and pound out a beat Grandma’s kitchen is such a treat That sometimes we even forget to eat 3rd & 4th CHORUS: Open up your cupboards, see what you can find Just be sure your Mama don’t mind! Bang it with a spoon, bang it with your hand We can all play in Grandma’s kitchen band! LAST CHORUS: Grab a pot, grab a pan Find a wooden bowl or an old tin can Bang it with a spoon, bang it with your hand We’re cookin’ up fun in Grandma’s kitchen band

Fish Tale 04:49

FISH TALE By Dana Cohenour © 2016 I headed out to the lake one day Got in my boat and paddled away Took a picnic lunch and my favorite pole To my lucky fishin’ hole I baited my hook and cast my line Dreamed of dinner but there was no sign Of a nibble or a bite or the slightest crunch So I put down my pole and got out my lunch CHORUS 1: I sang, “Here fishy, here little fish Hey fish, please grant my wish I’ll share with you a bit of my lunch Come on over and have a munch Here fish, here little fish Please, fishy grant my wish! Come on over and take a bite, If you do, I’ll have dinner tonight!” All of a sudden I heard a splash And saw a shining shimmery flash To my surprise, an enormous trout Tugged at my pole and started to shout CHORUS 2: “Hey, over here! I’m a big fish I’m a fish who can grant your wish I could use a snack or two Your box of crackers, that’ll do!” In a blink of an eye, he jumped in the boat And opened up his fishy throat He grabbed my crackers with a giant bite and said “Thanks to you, I won’t need dinner tonight!” In a wet split second, he was out of sight I sat there thinkin’, “Now that ain’t right!” I reeled in my line, put down my pole And paddled to my other fishin’ hole The sun was hot, there was ‘nary a breeze So I took a break and got out my cheese I put a piece on my hook for bait Cast my line, and started to wait REPEAT CHORUS 1 Then, again I heard a splash! And saw that shining shimmery flash There he was, without a doubt That very same enormous trout! CHORUS 2: “Hey, over here! I’m a big fish I’m a fish who can grant your wish I don’t offer guarantees, But if you please, I’ll take that cheese!” In a blink of an eye, he jumped in the boat And opened up his fishy throat He grabbed my cheese with a giant bite and said “Thanks to you, I won’t need dinner tonight!” Hey, fish! Don’t you know? This is not how it’s supposed to go! I paddled fast to the end of the lake And got out my piece of chocolate cake No fish is gonna steal my treat I’d better go ahead and eat But just as I began to bite That trout gave me another fright! CHORUS 2: “Hey, over here! I’m a big fish I’m a fish who can grant your wish You asked me to come and take a bite Well, it’s my pleasure! My delight!” In a blink of an eye, he jumped in the boat And opened up his fishy throat He grabbed my cake with a sneaky smile and said “Thanks to you, I won’t need dinner for awhile!” Hey, fish! Now that’s not fair! I paddled fast to get outta there But I glanced to the right on the starboard side, And there was that trout, stealing a ride! CHORUS 1: I sang, “Hey fishy, hey big fish Hey fish, please grant my wish Find another place to munch ‘Cuz you have eaten all my lunch!
