1) PUT ON MY SEAT BELT
Lead vocal: Leeny
Climbing in the back seat
Safety first, before you turn the key
Listen for the click
Make it nice and tight
When everybody’s buckled up
We’ll drive, drive, drive, drive, drive
Put on my seat belt
Put on my seat belt
Put on my seat belt
We’re goin’ for a ride
Driving through our neighborhood
Singing songs, strapped in and feeling good
Waving to our friends
Passing by the school
Check it Mr. Traffic Cop
I’m cool, cool, cool, cool, cool
CHORUS
Buckle up, buckle up
Every single time
Buckle up, buckle up
Or the driver will get fined
Buckle up, buckle up
That’s what my seat belt’s for
Buckle up, buckle up
It’s safe and it’s the law
Making lefts and making rights
Counting trucks and following the signs
A red light means stop
A yellow light means slow
Everybody knows a green means
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go
CHORUS 2x
Put on my seat belt we’re goin’ for a ride! |

2) TAKING TURNS
We're coloring with crayons, we both want the blue
I have a sky, I have an ocean
What do we do
You do your blue sky, I'll make a yellow sun
We can share the crayons and together get it done, yeah
Taking turns, taking turns
Taking turns, taking turns
When we're at the playground and going on the slide
I don't mind if you go first
You go first next time
Meet you at the bottom and give you a high five
Cheering for each other and having a good time, yeah
CHORUS
Gimme gimme, mine mine – that’s not right
Gimme gimme, mine mine – please don’t fight
Gimme gimme, mine mine – be nice
Let’s be nice, yeah
CHORUS
Gimme gimme, mine mine – those are bad words
Gimme gimme, mine mine – wait your turn
Gimme gimme, mine mine – everybody learns
It’s fun to take turns, yeah
CHORUS 2x

3) I USED TO BE SHY
Lead vocal: Tamara
I, I used to be shy
I’d run and hide
When someone would just say “hi”
I, I don’t know why
Sometimes I’d cry
I was so scared inside
And I, I never looked up, just at my toes
Trembled and whispered when I spoke
Played all alone so no one would notice me
I used to be shy
I wanted to jump
I wanted to shout
I wanted to let what’s inside out
But I would freeze
From my head to my knees
Too afraid to join the crowd
I thought everyone would laugh and tease
If I didn’t do something perfectly
I didn’t realize I could just be me
|
Now when I feel shy I take it slow
Start with a smile and say hello
Make a new friend
And do things we like to do
I used to be shy
It may be hard to believe
That things can change
With every brave little step you take
Today will be easier than yesterday
I, I used to be shy
And it’s all right
Everybody gets scared sometimes
 |

4) HOLD IT
When I’m swimming in the pool, I gotta hold it
When I’m sitting in class at school, I gotta hold it
Hold it, hold it
My face is turning blue
I’m gonna burst like a balloon
I gotta hold it
When I’m riding in the car, I gotta hold it
I should’ve gone before, I gotta hold it
Hold it, hold it
I’m trying not to sneeze
Laugh or even breathe
I gotta hold it
When we’re at the mall and in the bathroom line
I have to wait my turn, it takes a long, long time
I wish I were a bird
Cause then I could just go
Anywhere I want to
And nobody would ever have to know
Astronauts are cool
They go in their suits
Maybe that's because
There aren’t any bathrooms on the moon
When I’m sleeping in my bed
I gotta hold it
When I’m standing on my head
I gotta hold it
Hold it, hold it
I’ll squeeze my knees together tight
Everything will be all right
Don’t wanna have an accident
So I’ll try my very best
It’ll all be over soon
And I’ll sing a happy tune
I gotta hold it
Oh man, there’s no paper!

5) LADYBUG, LADYBUG, LADYBU-U-UG
Lead vocal: Leeny
Ladybug, ladybug, ladybu-u-ug
Ladybug, ladybug, ladybu-u-ug
Let’s go find a ladybug
They live in gardens, weeds, and shrubs
There are 5000 species worldwide
The number of spots identifies the kind
Ladybugs are beetles with six legs
Ladybugs can be yellow, orange, pink, brown, black,
white, blue or red
Ladybug, ladybug, ladybu-u-ug
Ladybugs have two sets of wings
Antennae help them smell, touch, and taste things
Ladybugs chew from side to side
If it’s cold or dark, they might not fly
Ladybugs roll over and play dead
Ladybugs release a chemical that tastes terrible in self-defense
Ladybugs have important jobs
Eating aphids that destroy our crops
We need lots of different kinds
But some species are now hard to find
Ladybugs, they need us to conserve
Ladybugs, we will protect your habitats and take care of the Earth
Ladybug, ladybug, ladybu-u-ug
Ladybug, ladybug, ladybu-u-ug
Ladybug, ladybug, ladybug-u-u-ug
Ladybugs!

6) MY BABY
Lead vocal: Tamara
Goats have kids
Cows have calves
Joeys come from kangaroos
Deer have fawns
Bears have cubs
Humans have infants, apes do too
Their parents help them learn
The things they need in life to make sense of the world
You’ll always be my baby
I’m always here for you
You’re growing up, my baby
But don’t grow up too soon
Sharks have pups
Ducks have ducklings
Cats and mice both have kittens
Frogs have tadpoles
Rabbits have bunnies
Penguins have chicks, so do chickens
They swim or hop or fly
Depend on mom and dad to start them off right
CHORUS
Someday you'll graduate from school
Learn to drive a car
Who knows how far you'll go
Someday you'll marry and have kids
And be proud of them too
Like I'm proud of you
CHORUS
Don’t grow up too soon

7) YOUR EPIDERMIS IS SHOWING
Lead vocal: Leeny
Your E-P-I-D-E-R-M-I-S is showing
Your E-P-I-D-E-R-M-I-S is showing
Your E-P-I-D-E-R-M-I-S, E-P-I-D-E-R-M-I-S
Your epidermis is showing
It’s all over you, it’s all over me
It’s all over everybody that we see
Keeps the outside out and your insides in
Each of us has three layers of skin
Epidermis, dermis, subcutaneous fat
The largest organ that we have
CHORUS
It knows when you’re hot, it knows when you’re cold
It gets a little wrinkly when you get old
Got tiny pores where the sweat comes through
It stretches and it freckles and it’s waterproof
We shed dead skin cells every day
But replace them right away
CHORUS
Epidermis we slough ya
Every two weeks
We’ll take good care of ya
Gonna keep you clean and use sunscreen
The dermis has a lot of nerves
It can tell when you’ve been hurt
Senses touch and temperature
Giving you goose bumps
CHORUS
Knowing, glowing, growing
Your epidermis is showing

8) LITTLE SISTER
Lead vocal: Leeny
Sometimes my little sister really gets on my nerves
She finished my favorite box of cereal and said
“Ha ha, I got here first!”
Sometimes my little sister acts like a pest
She always wants to tag along
But then she bites my friends
My momma said when I was younger I begged her for a sister
But mom, there must have been a mistake at The Sister Store
She’s not the one I wished for
Sometimes my little sister does things I don’t understand
(no, I don’t)
She wrote her name on all my posters
Just to make me mad
(so mad)
Sometimes my little sister is such a tattletale
(a tattletale)
She spies on me and gets me in trouble
Then pretends to care
(as if)
My momma told me when I get older I’ll appreciate my sister
So mom, is there some place maybe we could ship her
Like until I’m 50
Now that we are grown-ups, my sister lives far away
(so far away)
We call each other all the time
But I miss her every day
(so much)
Now my little sister and I are best of friends
(BFFs)
She knows me better than I know myself
And I love her like no one else
(Little sister)
My little sister, I really miss her
My little sister…

9) IT'S COOL TO BE YOU
Some people can run fast
Some are good at math
Some like to paint or draw
Some make others laugh
Some like to sing or dance
And some can hold their breath real long
No one is like anybody else
We all can be ourselves
It’s cool to be different
It’s cool to be you
Some people have no hair
Some wheel around in chairs
Some can’t hear and some can’t see
People dress in different clothes
Speak a language we don’t know
Come from different families
No one’s better than anybody else
So just be yourself
It’s cool to be different
It’s cool to be you
We are all just people who are different
But all of us are sharing the same stars
How we treat people who are different
Makes us the kind of people who we are
It’s cool to be different
There’s no such thing as weird
It’s cool to be different
Difference is nothing we should fear
It’s cool to be unique in how we act and think
Don’t let anybody tell you what you can or cannot do
Cause it’s cool to be different
It’s cool to be you
It’s cool to be different
It’s cool to be you
It’s cool to be you, it’s cool to be you

10) VITAMIN C
Ascorbic acid is the chemical name
For this powerful vitamin
It strengthens our immune system, protects our cells
It’s an antioxidant
It helps fight colds
Develops healthy teeth and bones
Collagen could not exist without this vitamin
That keeps our bodies growing strong
It’s water-soluble that means it can’t be stored
It doesn’t stay inside us very long
Every day
It needs to be replaced
Vi-i-i-i-i-i…Vitamin C
Vitamin C
Vi-i-i-i…Vitamin C
Many animals produce it on their own
But primates have lost this ability
We need to find it in the foods that we eat
A deficiency could lead to scurvy
It heals our cuts
And travels through our blood
CHORUS
In foods like red peppers and broccoli
Cantaloupe, strawberries, kiwi, and leafy greens
Especially in citrus fruits like oranges and lemons
Grapefruits and limes
CHORUS 2x

11) SINGING BEACH
Lead vocal: Leeny
There’s a beach where the sand sings under your feet
It speaks a squeaky melody
I think it’s saying, “Won’t you play on me”
At this beach, you walk to your own beat
You can gallop, skip or hop
But when you don’t move the music stops
At Singing Beach
At Singing Beach… Singing Beach
At Singing Beach
We’re having fun, I’ve got my sun protection on
Building castles and playing catch
Writing words and numbers in the sand
The water’s cold, there’s a tingling in my toes
I found cool rocks to take home
Another perfect summer day is gone
CHORUS
Why does the sand sing?
The grains are a certain size
They contain silica, a mineral, inside
And the humidity’s just right, so right
CHORUS
A squeaky melody – At Singing Beach
You walk to your own beat – At Singing Beach
The sand sings under your feet – At Singing Beach
At Singing Beach

12) I CAME OUT BACKWARDS
Lead vocal: Leeny
When I was born, I came out wrong
I guess I must have been hanging on
My feet came out first before my head
“It’s an L-R-I-G,” the doctor said
I came out backwards, backwards
My life’s been backwards from the start
I came out backwards, backwards
In E-S-R-E-V-E-R
My alphabet starts with the letter Z
When I count down it’s 1-2-3
I eat dessert before my meal
I leave the banana and eat the peel
CHORUS
I read my books from end to front
I finished last every race I’ve won
When the sun goes down, I start the day
When the sun comes up, I hit the hay
CHORUS
My life’s been backwards from the start
You say, “hello”
I say, “au revoir”

13) DINAH SORE LOSER
Lead vocal: Tamara
Dinah was a dinosaur playing kickball with her friends
But when the game had ended her team lost
Everyone was having fun, said, “good game” and gave high fives
“We’ll get you the next time we play again.”
But Dinah whined, “No fair.”
Cause she’s a Dinah Sore Loser, Dinah Sore Loser
No one wants to play with a Dinah Sore Loser
Everyone said, “Dinah what’s wrong? Come on, it’s just a game.”
“You’re acting like a baby, cut it out.”
Dinah said, “If I don’t get to win then no one plays.”
She stomped off in a rage and took the ball
Why can’t Dinah see…
That she’s a Dinah Sore Loser, Dinah Sore Loser
It’s no fun to hang around a Dinah Sore Loser
Be a good sport lose or win
And you’ll have lots of friends
Don’t be a Dinah Sore Loser, Dinah Sore Loser
No one wants to play with a Dinah Sore Loser
Dinah Sore Loser
It’s no fun to hang around a Dinah Sore Loser
