Burris the Bat 02:55
lyrics
buy track
Burris was a bat, and he lived in a barn. Way up in the rafters where it’s always warm. Unlike other bats, Burris had a little quirk. Burris was afraid of the dark. Almost every bat loves to stay up late. The dark is the perfect time to echolocate. Though our friend, Burris could catch bugs with the best, Night is when he wanted to rest. Burris couldn’t sleep, The dark gave him the creeps. So let’s turn on the nightlight for Burris Turn on the nightlight for Burris the bat He’s frightened of the dark, But there’s nothing wrong with that. He could fall asleep in five second flat, If we’d turn on the nightlight for Burris.

It's True 03:34
lyrics

Did you know the tallest waterfall in the world is underwater? It's true. It's true. Did you know that there's a place where it didn't rain for 14 years? It's true. It's true. Did you know that butterflies taste their food with their feet? It's true. It's true. And it's true the birds can sing And so do you, It's such a good feeling And trees grow tall up to the sky And so do you, you don't even have to try The sun gets up every day And so do you, so come on let's play Let's play Did you know that there's a tree that's over 5,000 years old. It's true. It's true. Did you know that there's about a quadrillion ants on our planet. It's true. It's true. Did you know that each day is a little bit longer than the day before. It's true. It's true.

I'm Flying 02:24
lyrics
buy track
If I could fly I would spend all day flying. If I could fly I would look up at the sky and see myself flying. If I could fly I would sing a song about how I am flying. If I could fly I would find a bird and say "Hey, we're both flying." If I could fly I would only eat food that was good for flying. If I could fly I would shout to the world: I'm flying I'm flying I'm flying I'm flying If I could fly don't you think I would spend every second of the day flying.

Down by the Bay 02:17
lyrics

Down by the bay Where the watermelons grow Back to my home I dare not go For if I do My mother will say: Did you ever see a bear, combing his hair Down by the bay? Did you ever see a monkey, dancing all funky Down by the bay? Did you ever see a moose, kissing a goose Down by the bay? Did you ever see a llama, wearing pajamas Down by the bay?

So Small 02:26

Once, I was so small You could breathe me in like a speck of dust And once, I was so small I could fit into your sock, I could sit inside your pocket And once, I was so small I could float in the palm of your hand Now I am big, even though I was once a kid You'll be big too, bigger than 4 foot 2 We all grow grow grow from our head down to our toes You're growing now I don't know how Makes my head spin now let's all sing wow Wow, wow, wow, woooooooow Once, you were so small I could drink you down like a grain of sand And once, you were so small You could swim in a single drop of rain And once, you were so small You could float in the palm of my hand Now you are big, even though you are still a kid You'll grow even more, bigger than 4 foot 4 We all grow grow grow from our feet up to our nose You're growing now I don't know how Makes my head spin now let's all sing wow Wow, wow, wow, woooooooow

I'm Gonna Eat 03:01

I’m gonna eat a peach Even though it might be out of reach I’m gonna eat a peach I’m gonna eat a pear I’ll eat it all, but if you want some I’ll share I’m gonna eat a pear. I'm gonna eat a waffle Even if it tastes really awful I'm gonna eat a waffle. I’m gonna eat a shoe I know that’s a silly thing to do but I’m gonna eat a shoe I’m gonna eat a bug I just saw it crawling on the rug so I’m gonna eat a bug I’m gonna eat the moon Look up there one day real soon. 'Cause I’m gonna eat the moon. I’m gonna eat the sun I think it sounds like a whole lot of fun I’m gonna eat the sun. I’m not feeling very good That’s because I ate everything I could now I’m not feeling very good

Down, down, down, down Always on the ground I live on my knees I see your shoes are checkered Vans That's cool Spicoli I learn to stand on my own too slowly I wanna be up with daddy now I wanna be up with daddy now I wanna be high like the buzz of the bees I just wanna see what everyone else sees Fe fi fo no! Don't send me to bed You're watching basketball and calling all your friends But I'm not sleepy I swear that I'm not sleepy I rub my eyes but I'm not sleepy I (yawn) sleepy I wanna be up with daddy now I wanna be up with daddy now I wanna be high like the buzz of the bees I just wanna see what everyone else sees My dad's so tall He sees it all When I'm up there The air is rare I fly From my nest This world's the best So please excuse me While I kiss the sky Down, down, down, down Still down on the ground Still down on my knees I see your shoes still checkered Vans Still cool Spicoli I learn to stand on my own still slowly I wanna be up with daddy now I wanna be up with daddy now I wanna be high like the buzz of the bees I just wanna see what everyone else sees

Wotchado 02:27
lyrics

Well, I've got a dad he's a really good dad but sometimes he gets mad. I've got a sis, she screamed while I was swinging and she made me miss. I've got a bro he says I'm short and I'll never grow Well all of these people, they're my family. I'm stuck with them and they're stuck with me But it's just like my daddy told me back when I was two: I may not always like what you do but I'll always love you. Well, I've got a mother sometimes she confuses me with my brother. I love my gramps but I worked really hard and he paid me with stamps. I've got a grammie one time she looked at me and she called my Tammy Well all of these people, they're my family. I'm stuck with them and they're stuck with me But it's just like my daddy told me back in ought-two: I may not always like what you do but I'll always love you. I know I'm not perfect, I make mistakes too I tracked mud in the house, I wrote on the wall, knocked over my mom's stew. I've got a dad, he's a really good dad, but sometimes I make him mad. I've got a sis, one time I got mad and hit her with my fist. I've got a bro I remember that time I stepped hard on his toe. Well all of these people, they're my family. I'm love them and they love me But it's just like my daddy told me back in '72: I may not always like what you do but I'll always love you.
