  • Race you to the swingset

    Last one there's a rotten gooseberry

    I win, you have to push me

    Higher

    Higher

    That's too high

    Our feet in the air in a flying chair

    The wind in our hair, we haven't a care

    As we sing along to a made-up song

    A swingset serenade

    This story's an arc from dawn to dark

    From your home to the garden and down to the park

    Moons, balloons, rooster croons

    A swingset serenade

    Whee! Look at me

    I fly high to the top of a tree

    My melody is bound to be

    A swingset serenade

    Floating on the breeze

    High above the trees

    How do you feel about swings

    Oh, I don't know

    I go back and forth on them

    We'll sing in español o inglés

    Gallinas y gallos y los colores

    Moras hermosas y las mariposas

    Cantemos de muchísimas cosas

    With our feet pointing down

    Coming back to the ground

    The world all around

    We're making a sound

    With our pets joining in

    So that we can begin

    A swingset serenade

    My dog sings like this

    Aooooooo

    Pump your feet and you'll go higher

    And faster

    Faster than the speed of light

    Not quite

    Whee! Look at me

    I fly high to the top of a tree

    My melody is bound to be

    A swingset serenade

    Oh, such fun to loudly sing

    'Bout anyone or anything

    So proudly bring your voice and rhyme

    The swinging swing will keep the time

    Come on, come here from far and near

    Where you can reach a star, my dear

    Grab a swing, it's time to sing

    A swingset serenade

    A swingset serenade

    A swingset

    It's a swingset serenade

  • Amiguitos y amiguitas

    La conga y el piano

    Y ahora, para empezar el día

    Orange juice in the morning

    Jugo, jugo de naranja

    Jugo de naranja, jugo de naranja

    Jugo de naranja, en la mañana

    Jugo de naranja, jugo de naranja

    Jugo de naranja, jugo de naranja

    Jugo de naranja, jugo de naranja

    Jugo de naranja, en la mañana

    Jugo de naranja, jugo de naranja

    En la mañana

    Jugo de naranja, jugo de naranja

    En la mañana

    Jugo

    Amiguitos y amiguitas

    Ya se tomaron su jugo

    La banda necesita más jugo

    Jugo

    Jugo

    El jugo me da más energia para enfrentar el día

    Jugo de piña, jugo de manzana

    Jugo de uva, jugo de cereza

    Jugo de durazno

    Me gustan todos

    Jugo de naranja

    Jugo de naranja

    En la mañana

    Jugo de naranja

    Jugo de naranja

    Jugo de naranja

    En la mañana

    Jugo

  • Now here's a hard-workin' song about the garden proletariat

    Funny little tune if'n you think that you can carry it

    Along with all the veggies in a garden that we grow

    So come on and grab a shovel on the double, here we go

    Get your shovel, get your rake

    Get some land that we can stake

    We're gonna make, make, make, make a garden

    First we'll pull out all the weeds

    Then we'll plant some little seeds

    We're gonna make, make, make, make a garden

    The rain will fall, the sun will shine

    And through it all we'll see a sign

    That this will be a garden

    The rain will fall, the sun will shine

    That looks like a zucchini vine

    It's growing in our garden

    Mother Nature, she's our friend

    She'll watch out, she'll help us tend

    While we wait, wait, wait for our garden

    Soon our plants will start to sprout

    Watch their little leaves come out

    I can't wait, wait, wait for our garden

    The rain will fall, the sun will shine

    This tomato will be big and fine when it's ripe

    And juicy

    The rain will fall, the sun will shine

    That eggplant there will be all mine when it's ripe

    And purple

    Let's get to work

    Carrots growing underground

    Pumpkins soon will spread around, around

    Our little garden

    Peppers growing row by row

    Jalapeños steal the show let's go

    Let's go

    And make a garden

    The rain will fall, the sun will shine

    It just needs a little thyme

    And rosemary and oregano and lots and lots of dill

    The rain will fall, the sun will shine

    Is this a lemon or a lime

    That's a potato

    The rain will fall, the sun will shine

    There's no more produce left that rhyme

    And this is now a garden

  • Mariposa, mari mariposa

    La mariposa vuela

    Cerca de las flores

    La mariposa

    Mariposa, mari mariposa

    La mariposa vuela

    Cerca de las flores

    La mariposa

    Alrededor de las flores vuela, around the flowers it flies

    The butterfly in my garden vuela, en mi jardín it flies

    Mariposa, mari mariposa

    La mariposa vuela

    Cerca de las flores

    La mariposa

    Butterfly

  • When we get together, no matter the weather, no matter what food we bring

    There's something about it, it's always a special thing

    A potluck picnic

    I'm feeling potlucky today

    There's garden fresh tomato turnovers, and pickled eggplant pepper pie

    Cool

    Ruth's couscous and gooseberry upside-down cake

    A rainbow lemonade, ready-made, and a mocha almond milk shake

    A picnic in the shade, now we've played with the geese at the park lake

    Lay a blanket on the ground, run around, then relax and partake

    I'll bring my favorite food to share with you

    And you'll do the same for me

    We'll take a walk on a lark around the park

    We're wonderful company

    We're here at the picnic

    I brought my hamster

    Here at the picnic

    And my goldfish

    Here, at the picnic

    Yeah

    Okay

    What is couscous

    Couscous is a crushed durum wheat semolina in the form of granules

    It's a common staple in North Africa

    There are very many berries in the world

    Blackberries, blueberries, boysenberries

    Poison berries? No, boysenberries

    Mulberries

    Cranberries

    Dewberries

    Elderberries

    Farkleberries

    Farkleberries? What's a Farkleberry

    A berry

    Of some sort

    Ruth's couscous and gooseberry upside-down cake

    Whose loose tooth will wiggle when they choose to partake

    My tooth came loose and a goose took it into the big lake

    A goose took your tooth

    It's the truth

    How uncouth

    What a tough break

    Ugh, the tooth fairy's never going to believe this

    Ah, don't worry, she'll figure it out

    Come on! Let's go get some pie

    Ruth's couscous and gooseberry upside-down cake

    In light of recent events

    I propose that we change the words

    How about this

    Loose goose poop and a tooth fairy upside-down cake

    Loose goose poop and a tooth fairy upside-down cake? Ewww

    Goji berries

    Huckleberries

    Nannyberries

    Raspberries

    Strawberries

  • Come back, balloon

    Come back, balloon

    Come back, balloon

    Come back, balloon

    Come back, balloon

    Floating on the breeze

    High above the trees

    Look at me

    I'm a balloon

    I'm a balloon

    And I'm free

    Hey there, birds

    There are no words for this happy, happy feeling

    Simply being a balloon

    I'm a balloon

    Come back, balloon

    Come back, balloon

    Come back, balloon

    Come back, balloon

    Come back, balloon

    How lovely the world looks below

    I say hello

    To the rooftops, the treetops, the stop signs, the wind chimes

    And the children down there

    As I fly through the air

    Come back, balloon

    Come back, balloon

    Come back, balloon

    Hey, is that your balloon

    Yeah, but it got away from me and now I'm sad

    Don't be sad. I think it looks pretty up there

    If I were a balloon, I'd want to be up in the sky. I think that'd be fun

    I guess you're right

    Yeah, and think of all the things you'd get to see if you were a balloon

    And all the adventures you'd have

    You do look beautiful up there, balloon

    You do look happy

    I'm floating on the breeze

    So high above the trees

    Look at me

    I'm a balloon

    I'm happy and I'm free

    I'm happy and free

    Goodbye, balloon

  • Nothing goes faster than the speed, the speed of light

    Nothing goes faster than the speed, the speed of light

    Light travels at around 186,000 miles per second

    Or at about 300,000 kilometers per second

    Wow, that's pretty fast

    Yeah, that's fast

    Where does light come from

    Most of our light comes from the sun

    Yay, sun

    How long does light take to get here

    Well, the sun is approximately 93 million miles from Earth

    So it takes about 8 minutes and 20 seconds

    Nothing goes faster than the speed, the speed of light

    Nothing goes faster than the speed, the speed of light

    I got on my bike and I was pedaling really hard, and I went so fast

    Did you go as fast as the speed of light

    Well, maybe not quite that fast

    Here's what's interesting

    The speed of light is constant, so no matter how fast you go

    Relative to you, light always moves at the same speed

    When you get closer to the speed of light, weird things start to happen

    Like what

    Like time dilation, Lorentz contraction, and increased mass

    It's all part of Einstein's Theory of Relativity

    Nothing goes faster than the speed, the speed of light

    Nothing goes faster than the speed, the speed of light

    Are we sure nothing can go faster than the speed of light

    Pretty much

    Well, no physical objects anyway

    But scientists are always challenging existing ideas and discovering new things

    So who knows what will happen in the future

    That's what makes science so exciting

    How far away is the nearest star

    You mean the sun

    No, the one after that

    About four light years

    What's a light year

    It's how far light goes in one year, close to 6 trillion miles

    Nothing goes faster than the speed, the speed of light

    Nothing goes faster than the speed, the speed of light

    Hey look, it's getting dark

    The stars are coming out

    Come on, let's go to the field, let's go look at them

    How do you say star in Spanish

    Estrella

    I like looking at the stars

    Me gustan las estrellas también

  • Me gustan las estrellas

    Me gustan las estrellas

    Me gustan las estrellas

    En la noche, la noche, la noche

    I like the stars

    I like the stars

    I like the stars

    At night, at night, at night

    Puedes caminar conmigo

    Vamos a mirar el cielo

    Vamos a mirar el cielo

    En el campo

    Me gusta la luna

    Me gusta la luna

    Me gusta la luna

    En la noche, la noche, la noche

    I like the moon

    I like the moon

    I like the moon

    At night, at night, at night

    Puedes caminar conmigo

    Vamos a mirar el cielo

    Vamos a mirar el cielo

    En el campo

    Me gustan las estrellas

    Me gustan las estrellas

    Me gustan las estrellas

    En la noche, la noche, la noche

  • Up on the top of the bunk, of the big bunk bed

    Up on the top of the bunk, be careful not to bump your head

    In your bed so way up high, it seems like you could touch the sky

    When you're up on the top of the bunk, of your big bunk bed

    Down on the bottom of the bunk, of the big bunk bed

    Down on the bottom of the bunk, be careful not to bump your head

    Let your imagination fly, it's easy if you really try

    When you're down on the bottom of the bunk, of your big bunk bed

    Doo doo, doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo

    Doo doo, doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo

    Doo doo, doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo

    I was on my swingset in my backyard just a-swingin'

    When mom told me to bring in

    All my toys and get ready for bed

    What did you do? I did what she said

    I put my toys back in my room and put on my pajamas

    They're yellow like bananas

    Went across the hallway and I washed my face

    Brushed my teeth and combed my hair back into place

    Bedtime used to bother me, I'd rather be outside instead

    But with some imagination I can change my situation in my big bunk bed

    Up on the top of the bunk, of the big bunk bed

    Up on the top of the bunk, be careful not to bump your head

    Let your imagination fly, it's easy if you really try

    When you're up on the top of the bunk, of your big bunk bed

    Doo doo, doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo

    Doo doo, doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo

    Doo doo, doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo

    One minute, I'm laying in a hammock on a fishing trip and then

    I'm flying in a supersonic rocket ship faster than the speed of light

    But nothing goes faster than the speed of light

    Next minute, I'm high atop a mountain doing battle with a blizzard

    Or maybe I'm a wizard

    Sitting in a castle watching dragons fly, underneath a purple sky

    Now bedtime's a wonderful time, it's just like my mama said

    'Cause with my imagination I can take a great vacation in my big bunk bed

    Down on the bottom of the bunk, of the big bunk bed

    Down on the bottom of the bunk, be careful not to bump your head

    Let your imagination fly, it's easy if you really try

    When you're down on the bottom of the bunk, of your big bunk bed

    Doo doo, doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo

    Doo doo, doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo

    Doo doo, doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo

    I'm underneath the earth inside a cave and I'm exploring

    It's never ever boring

    And then I'm underwater in a submarine

    Looking at the fishies that I've never seen

    Then I'm in a carriage riding right beside a river

    When I see a sliver of a silver moon

    And it's shining bright, oh what a beautiful night

    Now bedtime's a wonderful time, dreams are running through my head

    Having fun but getting sleepy, my imagination keeps me in my big bunk bed

    Up at the top or the bottom of the bunk, big bunk bed

    Having fun either way at the end of the day, it's great to finally rest your head

    With your dreams to help you fly, the night time quickly passes by

    Whether the bottom or the top, the fun never seems to stop

    When you're laying at the bottom or the top, the fun never seems to stop

    When you're laying at the bottom or the top of your

    Big bunk bed

  • Bedtime, bedtime

    Bedtime, everything's quiet now

    Bedtime, everything's still

    While the curtain of your dreams opens up

    Bedtime, bedtime

    Bedtime, everything's quiet now

    Bedtime, everything's still

    While the curtain of your dreams opens up

    Bedtime, bedtime

    Bedtime, bedtime
