The Traveling Train

If you’re lookin' real close, you can see the engineer
He's a grey locomotive on the railway
Passing farms with windmills and tractors pulling hay bales
Boxcars are heavy with their cargo
Apples, tangerines, walnuts, watermelon, almonds, avocados, grapes, apricots, cumquats, plums and peaches, nectarines, cantaloupe, honeydew, kiwi, lemons, peanuts, broccoli, cashews, strawberries, cranberry, dewberry, elderberry, gooseberry, blackberry, apple berry, huckleberry, mulberry, cucumber, chestnuts
And occasionally passion fruit
Cannonball is winding through the mountains
Rolling over bridges and steaming through the tunnels
Chuggin' up a steep grade and coastin' down the backside
Cannonball is passin' towns and cities
Courthouse, hospital, post office, gas station, library, supermarket, coffee shop, town hall, town square, local barber, drugstore, parking lot, high school, playground, neighborhood, Elks Lodge, cemetery, golf course, ball field, bus stop, fitness center, bowling house, movie house (whheeewww......!)
The sun sets low behind the mountains
Soon our journey ends as we're nearing the station
End of the line, folks
End of the line

We are bear and dog
We are bear and dog
We are the rulers of the earth
We’ve come to help you save your little planet!
We came down to your planet
It looked so messed up
We decided there’s a solution
We’re gonna clean this planet UP!
CHORUS
It takes two furry animals
To make this world a party
With love, peace and freedom
We’re gonna fly the rainbow’s edge
CHORUS
Bear rides a hurricane
Dog is a genius
With these super powers
The possibilities are endless
CHORUS

A baby earthworm asked his mom
Why are we underground?
The mommy said because our job
Is moving earth around
That’s what the earthworm’s for
That’s what the earthworm’s for
And if we do our job then when
The seeds drop in the soil
They’ll sleep inside the ground until
The rain begins to fall
That’s what the rain is for
That’s what the rain is for
The sun was passing overhead
The ground began to warm
And little seeds began to sprout
On meadows, hills, and farms
That’s what the sun is for
That’s what the sun is for
The moon came up behind the hill
And out came twinkling stars
The little worm was dazzled and
He asked what stars are for
His mommy said all creatures long
For beauty and for light
The stars are just for you to see
On sweet warm summer nights
That’s what the stars are for
That’s what the stars are for
That’s what the moon is for . . .
That’s what the sun is for . . .
That’s what the rain is for . . .
That’s what the earthworm’s for

Corn
Good for you
Corn
It’s good for you
Corn, corn!
Corn is good for you
If you take the train to the edge of town
There’s a new farmer’s market
With trucks and trailers and tamales and a clown
Mommy and Daddy and sister too
It’s a hot summer blue sky afternoon
Now you pick out the carrots
Pick out the beans
From the farmer and his daughter and a worker named Gene
If the farmer’s got corn
And he says it’s sweet
And he picked it this morning
Well you’re in for a treat
When you get home it’s corn tonight
Here’s a crazy little recipe for cookin’ it right
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
Let’s go!
Bring it to a boil put the corn in the pot
Turn it off
Turn it off!
Leave it in the pot for a minute or two
Woo hoo hoo hoo
Corn is good for you

Walking Boy

He's a walking boy holding mama’s hand
On a trip to the beach for some summer sand
Digging up shells and searching for treasure
Found a shiny round pebble and a great big feather
He’s a walking boy
A walking boy
He’s a walking boy
He’s a walking boy leading papa down the road
Heading for the trees and listening for the toads
They get on the trail and the shade feels good
It’s summertime in the deep green woods
He’s a walking boy
He's a walking boy and loves to go places
New sights and brand new faces
He’ll walk for all of his days
See the world and all its ways
Blue skies and a desert rain
Deep water and the endless plains
He’s a walking boy

Little Willie Buffalo
Little Willie Buffalo
In the green green grass of Idaho
I’m Little Willie Buffalo
I’m a baby buffalo up on the plains
I sleep under moon, I play in the rain
Daddy was Bill so they call me Will
I hope you’ll sing this song with me
Boom shaka laka laka
I walk in the hills with my buffalo mom
We’re a buffalo herd two thousand strong
The buffalo bulls keep the family safe
From the wolf and the thunder and the windy days
CHORUS
I eat in the morning and I eat at night
Chomping on grass is mighty nice
Middle of the day I take a little nap
And I dream of the faraway Cumberland Gap
You see my great great great great great great great
great grandfolks laid the trail
That led the way for the Indians, the cowboy and the Interstate
December brings the big white snow
But it’s not too cold for a buffalo
We’re gonna walk south for many a mile
Gonna keep on moving in the winter time
I’m getting bigger every day
I’ll be two thousand pounds but I love to play
Under big blue sky in the meadow by the stream
At night I dream the buffalo dream
I’ll dream of you
If you’ll dream of me
In the green green grass of Idaho
We’ll roll around like the buffalo do
Cause I’m a buffalo
Don’tcha know

Good night, little space ship, good night
It’s time for the sun to go round to the other side
Close your eyes, little space ship, close your eyes
Tomorrow you’ll tell us what’s up in the sky
Mars Stars Mars Stars
Sleep tight through the night, little light
We’re here oh so near as you fly through the sky
Good night, little space ship, good night
Good night little space ship, good night
Mars Stars Mars Stars
