Family Fun! Lyrics
1. Little Canadian Animal
(From "Everyday Superheroes", 2017)
I had a little porcupine, she was very spiny
Took her to the barber, but she was very whiny
I had a little skunk, he was very smelly
Took him to the doctor
and he poked him in the belly!
I had a little chipmunk, she was very chatty
Took her to a therapist, because she drove me batty
I had a little salmon, he was very slimy
Took him to the cleaners
cause he was greasy grimy!
I had a little loon, she was very loud
Took her to a hockey game, where noises were allowed
I had a little beaver, his teeth were very long
Took him to the dentist, and he whistled a song
He went doo doo do-do, do-do-do
I'm a little Canadian animal
And I wanna sing a rock 'n' roll song
He went doo doo do-do, do-do-do
I'm a little Canadian animal
And I wanna sing a rock 'n' roll song
I had a little raccoon, his eyes were very black
Took him to the eye doctor and now he won't come back
I had a little rabbit, she was very fast
Took her to the race track and she had a blast!
I had a little goose, he was very honky
Took him to a drive-in and he honked at a donkey
I had a little eagle, her claws were very strong
Took her to the Gym, and she whistled a song!
She went doo doo do-do, do-do-do
I'm a little Canadian animal
And I wanna sing a rock 'n' roll song
She went doo doo do-do, do-do-do
I'm a little Canadian animal
And I wanna sing a rock 'n' roll song
They went doo doo do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do
doo doo do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do… doooo
doo doo do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do.
That's what they said
doo doo do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do do-do-do-do!
They went doo doo do-do, do-do-do
I'm a little Canadian animal
And I wanna sing a rock 'n' roll song
They went doo doo do-do, do-do-do
I'm a little Canadian animal
And I wanna sing a rock 'n' roll song
2. Every First Time
I see you there sitting in your high chair
You're trying to talk, now you're learning to walk
You're running around in your diaper
And you're acting real hyper
Jumping on the couch is not allowed
But you still make me proud
I'll be here for story time and to tuck you in
(for the 5th time tonight)
And I'll be here, with one little tear
For every new thing, You do my dear
The first word you say, School on your first day
You'll do just fine, Every first time
Your first birthday cake
The first drawing you make
Your first loose tooth
The first time you lie but realize
you've got to tell truth
Your first bike ride, the times you'll cry and cry
When I'll help you with your homework that you'll try and try
Your first haircut, first diving board
First trouble at school, first goal you score
I'll be here when you're a teenager
(and I don't seem that cool to you anymore)
But I'll be here, with one little tear
For every new thing, You do my dear
The first word you say, School on your first day
You'll do just fine, Every first time
Your first job, the first time you drive a car
The first wish you make upon a star
And all of a sudden your graduation
And before my eyes your talking re-location
I'll be here for money advice but I won't pay your student loan. (Well, we'll talk about it)
Your first love, And maybe you'll get married someday and have kids? (oh boy) And maybe you'll sing them this song...
You'll sing...
And I'll be here, with one little tear
For every new thing, You do my dear
The first word you say, School on your first day
You'll do just fine, Every first time
And I'll be here, with one little tear
For every new thing, You do each year
The first word you say, School on your first day
You'll do just fine, Every first time
3. Everyday Superheroes
(From "Everyday Superheroes", 2017)
His helmet is red, fights fires till they're dead
Her shirt is blue, drives a police car too
His boots are green, runs a garbage machine
Her coat is white, makes sure your health is alright
He's a superhero
An everyday superhero
She's a superhero
An everyday superhero
His hat is yellow, a construction working fellow
Her pants are black, and she sells you a snack
His tie is pink, works at the store I think
Her shoes are brown, and she lives in your town
He's a superhero
An everyday superhero
She's a superhero
An everyday superhero
You don't have to be rich or pretend you're a bat
Real superheroes are nothing like that
Don't need a bite from radioactive spider
Don't need a cape, spaceship or hand glider
Don't have to come from planet Krypton
All you have to do is know right from wrong
Help each other and care for others
And you can be a superhero too!
You can be a superhero too!
You can be a superhero too!
You can be a superhero too!
You're a superhero
An everyday superhero!
You're a superhero
An everyday superhero!
You're a superhero
An everyday superhero!
And you can be a superhero too!
You can be a superhero too!
You can be a superhero too!
You can be a superhero too!
You can be a superhero too!
4. Fat Cat
(From "Songs for Kids Age 1 to 101", 2014)
Hey cat, why are you so fat?
You just lie around all day
Hey cat, you’re really kind of cute
But you should go outside today
You just eat cat food, poop in the litter box
Sleep in the laundry hamper
Curl up on the blankets, snooze in the sofa
You should get off your kitty butt and Scamper!
Hey cat, why are you so fat?
You just lie around all day
Hey cat, you’re really kind of cute
But you should go outside today
I pet you on your head and you purr
I brush you on your back and you meow
Your fur is so soft and fluffy
But why do you look so big and puffy?
Hey cat, fat cat, fat cat, fat cat
Hey fat kitty cat
Stop scratching at that!
Get down and scat!
Why don’t you go chase a rat?
Hey cat, why are you so fat?
You just lie around all day
Hey cat, you’re really kind of cute
But you should go outside today
Meow meow meow meow...
Hey cat, why are you so fat?
You just lie around all day
Hey cat, you’re really kind of cute
But you should go outside today
Hey cat, why are you so fat?
You just lie around all day
Well, hey cat, here’s a kitty treat
‘Cause I love you anyway

6. Us
You and me makes us
So where will we go?
'Cause this day we have right now
Will be gone tomorrow
So we'll explore, and play
On this sunny summer day
Blowing bubbles, jumping in puddles
Pajama time, don't forget snuggles
I don't want you to be afraid of anything
Love will surround us and take care of everything
yeah
Ooooh…
Ooooh…
I'm blessed
You're blessed
We'll appreciate each day
And always do our best
So we'll learn, and play
On this cold dark winter day
Cheeks aglow, jumping in snow
Hot cocoa, I want you to know… that
I don't want you to be afraid of anything
Love will surround us and take care of everything
yeah
Ooooh…
Ooooh…
Yeah yeah yeah…
Us

7. Hotdogs and Cookies
(From "Songs for Kids Age 1 to 101", 2014)
I like my hotdogs hot (with ketchup!)
I like my hotdogs hot (and mustard!)
‘Cause if they were cold
they would be cold dogs
And nobody likes those
except for my dog, Spot
I like my cookies cooked (well mostly)
I like my cookies cooked (Sometimes I eat the dough)
‘Cause if they were raw they would be
un-cookies and that’s why you cook them like in the cook book
I like my ice cream iced (chocolate!)
I like my ice cream creamed (in a cone!)
‘Cause if it wasn’t iced and if it wasn’t creamed then I’d rather eat a bowl of chicken rice
I like my oranges orange (and juicy!) I like my oranges orange (and yummy!)
‘Cause if they were blue then I don’t know what I’d do If we called a blue fruit an orange? Weird.
All of these things I like to eat
And I’m glad they’re the way they are
They’re delicious and nutritious
That’s why I’m playing this song on the guitar
I like my french fries fried (more ketchup!)And I like my french fries French (pourquoi?)
‘Cause if they were not, they would be English and that doesn’t really make any sense.
I like my squash squashed (with turkey)
I like my squash squished squashed
(at thanksgiving!)
‘Cause if it wasn’t squashed it would be chunky so why would you call it squash, Josh?
I like my mushrooms mushed...
Oh wait a second, no
I don’t think mushrooms were meant to be mushed. What do you think?
What else? What about popcorn?
Do you like popcorn?
I like my pop corn popped (with butter!)
I like my pop corn popped (at the movies!)
‘Cause if it wasn’t popped it would be kernels and when you tried to chew it would be like eating rocks
All of these things I like to eat
And I’m glad they’re the way they are
They’re delicious and nutritious
That’s why I’m playing this song on the guitar
All of these things I like to eat
And I’m glad they’re the way they are
I hope you all agree, Now please excuse me
I’m headed for the cookie jar
