I is for iron like you'd iron a blouse

M for monkey, N for no, O for one
P is for the pumpkin getting ripe in the sun
Q for queen, R for rose, S is for the summertime when everything grows
T for tree, U for unicorn, V is for the verses right here in this song
W could be for wise, X is for the x-ray like Superman's eyes

Move Move Move
(Dana Ward ©1998)
Now I could hang around all day in the house,
watching television, just lying on the couch.
But everyone knows you need exercise too.
And that's what I'm going to do.
I'm going to move
Going to run my feet upon this ground
I'm going to move
Nobody's going to hold me down
I'm going to ride my bike around the block,
climb that tree, jump off of that rock.
I'm all action, not just talk,
I'm going to
Move, Move Move Move, Move, Move
And everybody says,
"Thomas, you're looking mighty good."
Everybody says,
"Thomas, you're movin' like you should."
Move, Move, Move Move, Move, Move
I'm going to
Move, Move, Move Move, Move, Move
I'm going to move
Going to take a swim out in that lake
I'm going to move
Nobody's going to make me wait
I'm going to swing that bat, throw that ball,
Hopscotch, take a walk and somersault
I'll get back up even if I fall,
so I can
Move, Move, Move Move, Move, Move
And everybody says,
"Thomas, you're looking mighty good."
Everybody says,
"Thomas, you're movin' like you should."
Move, Move, Move Move, Move, Move
I'm going to
Move, Move, Move Move, Move, Move
I'm going to move
Going to run my feet upon this ground
I'm going to move
Nobody's going to hold me down
I'm going to ride my bike around the block,
climb that tree, jump off of that rock.
swing that bat, throw that ball,
hopscotch, take a walk and somersault
Hide and Seek, Kick The Can,
Skip my rope just as fast as I can
Why should I sit
when I know I can stand up and
Move, Move, Move Move, Move, Move
And everybody says,
"Thomas, you're looking mighty good."
Everybody says,
"Thomas, you're movin' like you should."
Move, Move, Move Move, Move, Move
I'm going to
Move, Move, Move Move, Move, Move
And when it's time for a nap or for bed
I will gladly lay down my sleepy little head
For everyone knows that you need rest too
So you can get up and move
Move, Move, Move Move, Move, Move
I'm gonna........I wanna......
I've gotta......... I'm gone!

Clap Your Hands
(Dana Ward ©1998)
How do you keep good time with the music?
Clap your hands!
If you've got rhythm, here's how to use it
Clap your hands!
When singers sing or dancers dance
What will you do when you get the chance?
Clap your hands! Clap your hands!
Oh Gabriella,
Clap your hands!
Oh Gabriella,
In time with the band
And when the beat goes........
That's when Gabriella goes........
Follow this now........
What do you do
when you hear good music?
Clap your hands!
When you find the beat now
you don't want to lose it
Clap your hands!
When singers sing or dancers dance
What will you do when you get the chance?
Clap your hands! Clap your hands!
Oh Gabriella,
Clap your hands!
Oh Gabriella,
In time with the band.
And when the beat goes........
That's when Gabriella goes.........
Follow this now.......

You put your right foot in, put your right foot out
Put your right foot in and then you shake it all about
You do the Hokey Pokey and you turn yourself around
That's what it's all about!

That's what it's all about, Tony
That's what it's all about, Tony
That's what it's all about!
You put your left foot in, put your left foot out
Put your left foot in and then you shake it all about
You do the Hokey Pokey and you turn yourself around
That's what it's all about!
Now put your right arm in...................
You put your left arm in....................
That's what it's all about, Tony
That's what it's all about, Tony
That's what it's all about, Tony
That's what it's all about!
You put your right hip in.....
Now put your left hip in.....
You put your right shoulder in...
Now put your left shoulder in...
You put your whole self in...
That's what it's all about, Tony
That's what it's all about, Tony

Show Me How to Dance
Dana Ward ©1998
Oh Emma, I think it's time
to get your folks to dance
Oh Emma, I think it's time
to get your folks to dance
They didn't always have to work all day
They had a lot of time to laugh and play
Oh Emma, I think it's time
to get your folks to dance
Here's what you say now....
Oh Mama, Oh Papa,
Won't you show me how to dance?
Oh Mama, Oh Papa,
Won't you show me how to dance?
You must have been a kid once too
Come on and show me what you used to do
Oh Mama, Oh Papa,
Won't you show me how to dance?
Oh Mama, Oh Papa, I need you to explain
Oh Mama, Oh Papa,
What's behind those crazy names?
I thought that mashed potatoes
were something that you eat
Now you try to tell me
that you can do them with your feet!
With your feet now!
Oh Mama, Oh Papa, I think I know the twist
Oh Mama, Oh Papa, does it go something like this?
But the Hully Gully, the Monkey and the Boo-ga-lou!
You'd better help me out with those
and show me what to do!
What to do now!
(ending)
I've never seen you having so much fun
You're having fun enough for everyone......
You must know so many different ways
That you remember from the olden days......

Cleanin' Up My Room
(Dana Ward ©1998)
Mary. Oh Mary.........
It's time to clean up your room!
Cleanin' up my room, cleanin' up my room
I'm cle-e-e-eanin', cleanin' up my room
Now I'm not gonna fuss, and I'm not gonna whine
'cause cleanin' up is easy, all it takes is time.
And it makes everybody happy.
It makes everybody smile.
It makes everybody say,
"You're such a wonderful child!"
Cleanin' up my room, cleanin' up my room
I'm cle-e-e-eanin', cleanin' up my room
I think I'll make my bed,
'cause that's where I lay my head.
And if I make it nice and neat,
all my dreams will be so sweet.
Yeah, I'm cleanin' up with style,
I'm cleanin' up with grace.
When I get through in here
you won't believe this place!
Cleanin' up my room, cleanin' up my room
I'm cle-e-e-eanin', cleanin' up my room
It's gonna look so good, it's gonna look so fine.
I'll have the cleanest, cleanest room.
You won't even know it's mine.
And my Mom'll be so proud.
She's gonna tell me right out loud,
"Your room looks so divine,
I think it's milk and cookie time!"
All this for
Cleanin' up my room, cleanin' up my room
I'm cle-e-e-eanin', cleanin' up my room
I'll pick up all those dirty clothes
so they won't offend your nose.
I'd better empty out the trash
so nobody gets a rash.
I'll straighten all these toys and books
so I won't get the dirty looks.
I think I'll get a broom, for cleanin' up my room.
Oh, I'm a clean machine. I'm cleanin' up-ah!
I really messed it up this time. Somebody help me!
It looks like somebody had a party in here.
That sure was fun!

A Pretty Good Kid
(Dana Ward ©1998)
I'm not going to hit or spit,
or push anyone around
I'm not going to be the bully
who knocks other people down
I'm going to share my toys
with all the other girls and boys
I'll make somebody happy every day
I'm going to try to do
what my parents tell me to
I'm going to try to be
as good as I can be, you'll see!
And when the day is through
and you look back at all I did,
you'll have to say,
I was a pretty good kid
A Pretty good kid
(Parker is a pretty good kid)
A pretty good kid
(Parker is a pretty good kid)
A pretty good kid
(Parker is a pretty good kid)
A real good kid!
And when the day is through
and you look back at all I did,
you'll have to say,
I was a pretty good kid
I'll say please and thank-you
and try to be polite
I'll brush my hair in the morning
and brush my teeth at night
I'll eat all the food on my plate
and if it's not my turn I'll wait
I'll get a little bit better every day
I'm going to try to do
what my parents tell me to
I'm going to try to be
as good as I can be, you'll see!
And when the day is through
and you look back at all I did,
you'll have to say,
I was a pretty good kid
A Pretty good kid
(Parker is a pretty good kid)
A pretty good kid
(Parker is a pretty good kid)
A pretty good kid
(Parker is a pretty good kid)
A real good kid!
And when the day is through
and you look back at all I did,
you'll have to say,
I was a pretty good kid
(Parker is a pretty good kid)
you'll have to say,
I was a pretty good kid
(Parker is a pretty good kid)
You'd better hurry up and say
I was a pretty good kid!
