Celebrate the Difference
A camel is a mammal
With a hump on its back
A duck has a bill
That goes quackity quack
You’ve gotta laugh
At the neck of the giraffe
And celebrate the difference
Pigs are big
Mice are tiny
Snails are slow
And fireflies are shiny
You’ve gotta smile
At the crocodile
And celebrate the difference
Celebrate the difference
When you take it all in
There’s more to meet the eye
Than the color of the skin
From the smell of the skunk
To an elephant’s trunk
Celebrate the difference
A tadpole turns into a frog
A puppy turns into a dog
A lion roars
An earthworm wiggles
A kitten purrs
And a hyena giggles
A rabbit’s ears
Go flippity flop
A pony’s hooves
Go clippity clop
Flippity flop
Clippity clop
Celebrate the difference
Celebrate the difference
When you take it all in
There’s more to meet the eye
Than the color of the skin
From the monkeys in the trees
To the bumble bees
Celebrate the difference
Celebrate the difference
When you take it all in
There’s more to meet the eye
Than the color of skin
Come big and small
Celebrate them all
Celebrate the difference

First Place
You gotta walk like you’re in first place
Talk like you’re in first place
Run like you’re in first place
On the track of the human race
You gotta walk like you’re in first place
Talk like you’re in first place
Run like you’re in first place
On the track of the human race
It’s strange how much you can change
In one day
So take your doubt and kick it out
And in its place
Have a little bit of faith
You gotta walk like you’re in first place
Talk like you’re in first place
Run like you’re in first place
On the track of the human race
Sometimes you get the breaks
And sometimes you make
Nothing but mistakes
Sometimes there’s an open door
And sometimes there’s a wall
Where there wasn’t one before
You gotta walk like you’re in first place
Talk like you’re in first place
Run like you’re in first place
On the track of the human race
Yeah yeah
It’s hard to get out of bed
When you tried to win
But you lost instead
It’s hard to rise again
And get back on track
And know how to begin
You gotta walk like you’re in first place
Talk like you’re in first place
Run like you’re in first place
On the track of the human race
You gotta walk
You gotta talk
You gotta walk, talk, never look back
Never look back
You gotta walk like you mean it
Talk like you mean it
And never never look back
Never look back
Just run
Run, run keep on running
Don’t you look back
You’ve just gotta walk like you’re in first place
Talk like you’re in first place
Walk like you mean it
Talk like you mean it
Don’t you look back

I Want to be Your Friend

I Want to Be Your Friend
I’m new to the neighborhood
If you’d stop by and say hi
It would make me feel good
I miss my friends
I miss our old house, too
Now I’m all alone
With nothing fun to do
I’m looking around, looking around, looking around
I got my nose pressed up against the window pane
I’m wearing my brand new bathing suit
I was gonna go swimming
But it started to rain
All I know is I
I just want to be happy
All I know is I
I don’t want to be blue
All I know is I
I just want to be friends with you
I want to be friends with you
My parents keep telling me to give it time
But even the trees we planted are too small for me to climb
Our yard used to be grass and dirt
Now there’s a flower bed
But I’m still homesick and hurt
I’m looking around, looking around, looking around
I want you to stop by
So I can say hi
I’ve got my nose pressed up the window pane
I’m fogging up the glass
But I can still see the rain
You see I’m just a little bit shy
I don’t want to put my foot in my mouth
I talk a little funny I’m from way down south
I’m shy I’m new to the neighborhood
If you’d stop by and say hi
It would make me feel good
I’m looking around, looking around, looking around
If you come over today I won’t stare at the ground
To have a friend you’ve got to be one too
I’m gonna look you in the eye and say hello to you

Nerves
Be nice
To your friends
That’s the way
That you make
New friends
Be nice
I hear you say
That’s the way
You need to be
To be nice
I heard you, and I’ll be kind
I’m glad you can’t read my mind
You’re getting on my nerves …
Ahhh let me tell you that
My room is my room
I’ll pick up my stuff, stuff
Under the bed under the rug
Out of site is up, up
I think that we-e-e-e both have had enough, ’nuff
These four walls do confine
I’m on yours
You’re on mine
Nerves!
Be nice
To your sister
Be nice to your brother, too
Makes you happy
When you’re nice
That’s the way you need to be
To be nice
I heard you, and I’ll be kind
But if you could read my mind
You’re getting on my nerves …
Ahhh let me tell you that
Joe just blew his nose
On each corner of his clothes
And baby Jane’s diaper’s fallin’
It was smelly
Now she’s ballin’
“Dinners ready, dinner’s ready, dinner’s ready”
I hear you callin’
These four walls do confine
I’m on yours
You’re on mine
Nerves!
Be nice
To your friends
That’s the way that you make new friends
Be nice
Learn to share
That’s the way you need to be to be nice
I heard you and I’ll be kind
But I’m glad you can’t read my mind
You’re getting on my nerves …
Ahhh let me tell you that
Last time I shared something of mine
It got broken
As for the friend that did it
Since then we have not spoken
“You should”
“You could”
“If I were you, I would …”
You’re not me
Can’t you see
If you could
You’d still be
On my nerves!

Give me back the ocean
While there’s fish in the sea
Give me back the land
While there’s still a single tree
Give me clean air
While I can still breathe
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Give me back the grass
Before it’s all concrete
I’ll take the stars
Over lamps that light the street
Save the ozone
Or feel the heat
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Everybody say, yeah, yeah, yeah
Sounds simple
But no, no, no it’s not
If people in power
Wanna pick every flower
Gotta save our planet
It’s the only one we got
Give me back the mountains
And the valleys in between
I like to swim in rivers
That are nice and clean
I want a car that runs on trash
Not gasoline
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Everybody say, yeah, yeah, yeah
Sounds simple
But no, no, no it’s not
If people in power
Wanna pick every flower
Gotta save our planet
It’s the only one we got
Give me back the sky
Before you block the view
Give me back the forests
And the wetlands too
People in power
Need to get a clue
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Everybody say, yeah, yeah, yeah
Sounds simple
But no, no, no it’s not
If people in power wanna
Pick every flower
Gotta save our planet
It’s the only one we got
Save our planet
It’s the only one we got
