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

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

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
