There Was an Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe 02:30
lyrics
buy track
There was an Old Woman who lived in a shoe She had so many children, didn’t know what to do She gave them some soup without any bread She scolded them and sent them all to bed (I’m hungry, I don’t like soup) This Old Man lived there too, with the woman in the shoe With a knick-knack paddy whack, give the dog a bone This Old Man came rolling home This whole family lived in a shoe With tables and chairs and a television too How could the furniture fit in a shoe With all of the children too (I hate living in this shoe, it’s hot in here) This Old Man, he played one, he played knick-knack on my thumb With a knick-knack paddy whack, what we have to do Is move this family to a boot There was an Old Woman who lived in a boot She said, ‘there’s too much polishing to do The neighbours in the running shoes are mean to me too I want to move back to my shoe, yes I do’. (me too) There was an Old Woman who lived in a shoe She had so many children, didn’t know what to do She gave them some soup without any bread She scolded them and sent them all to bed. (I don’t want to go to bed)

Fly Kite 01:53
lyrics

Grass is soft beneath my feet Breezes ease the summer heat Blue skies, sunlight The perfect day to fly my kite I climb the hill up to the top With the kite that has the polka dots Unwind the string and let it fly So it can dance beneath the clear blue sky Tree tops wave their branches Birds fly off in fright Clouds are not so lonely Gliding with my kite Fly kite, fly away Trailing your white tail of lace I wish that I could fly with you To sail on the wind is all I want to do Fly kite, fly away

Blue Jeans 01:46

I wear my yellow T-shirt when I go to school My bright yellow running shoes look so cool And I wear blue, blue jeans too, Yes I wear blue, blue jeans too I have a blue sweater, I got it from Sue That big blue sweater matches my shoes And I wear blue, blue jeans too Yes I wear blue, blue jeans too My mother washes my clothes at night She looks for every sock in sight And when she takes my pants to be cleaned I say, ‘don’t take away my favourite blue jeans’ I wear my red slippers when I watch cartoons I wear my red hat in the afternoons And I wear blue, blue jeans too, Yes I wear blue, blue jeans too Blue jeans, blue jeans too I really, really love my blue jeans Blue jeans, blue jeans too I dig those blue, blue jeans Blue jeans, blue jeans too I wear my very favourite blue jeans, etc…

Step By Step 03:51
lyrics

Step by step, we’re walking together Step by step, and together we’re strong Step by step, in all kinds of weather Step by step, we help each other along We climb the mountain side, it doesn’t matter how high The victory is one that we share So don’t ever stop, reach for the top Until we all get there Step by step, we’re walking together Step by step, and together we’re strong Step by step, in all kinds of weather Step by step, we help each other along We made it to the mountain peak The one that’s hard to reach And everybody pulled their weight It’s alway a test to climb Everest, but we have what it takes Step by step, we’re walking together Step by step, together we’re strong Step by step, in all kinds of weather Step by step, we help each other along Step by step, step by step……

Halloween Song 02:21

Watch out for witches in their shiny black hats It’s Halloween night, see the black cat Hide from the shadows wherever you go Because, you never know Halloween is when the ghosts are seen You can hear them groan Halloween is when the ghosts are mean They can make you scream The pumpkins are watching from the window at night I know you’re not scared of their bright orange light Stand back from the window, keep your head low Because you never know Halloween is when the ghosts are seen You can hear them groan Halloween is when the ghosts are mean They can make you scream Hide from the shadow wherever you go Because you never know

I can curl up whenever I need to hide Or I can roar like a lion and raise my head up high I can fly right up to the moon If I only tried I can fly like a bird way up in a tree I can catch all the worms that I can see I can climb like an ant up and down the hill I can leap like a frog way up in the air I can curl up whenever I need to hide Or I can roar like a lion and raise my head up high I can fly right up to the moon If I only tried

Up, up and away, The big balloons will fly today Up, up and away, And this is what we’ll say ‘Goodbye, look up into the sky’ Up, up and away, Can you still see me wave So long farewell my friend, Until we meet again Goodbye, We’re almost out of sight So long; Take care; See you later alligator; In a while crocodile; Bye bye; Take it easy; Au revoir, a la prochaine; Ciao, a piu tarde; Adios; Aufviedersein; Salem; Shalom Up, up and away, My big balloon will break away I’m going on a long, long ride, I’ll miss you everyday Goodbye, I hear the breezes sigh Goodbye!
