It halves, it slivers, then it shines full bright Imagine where we would be without the familiar sight of the man in the moon's sparkle on a cold winters night.   Did you notice it's the moon that follows you home? It keeps you company whenever you are alone give it a trail, light it in a path of blue it keeps following you.   it's the man in the moon's sparkle on a cold winters night it's the man in the moon's smile that keeps you in sight it's the man in the moon's twink winkle that gives you some light it's the man in the moon's sparkle on a cold cold winters night   They say the man in the moon controls the tides in then out, shallow then deep, it watches both sides does it keep count, does the moon keep track? Riding the line as every wave comes rolling back...   There must be a man in there controlling the stare of halved, sliver, then full full on glare He is there or how'd he know, where you're going? There's a guy up there, he knows everything worth knowing.   it's the man in the moon's sparkle on a cold winters night it's the man in the moon's smile that keeps you in sight it's the man in the moon's twink winkle, that gives you some light it's the man in the moon's sparkle on a cold winters night   I saw him, I see him, I know it, I think there's his eye and a smile and there, that's a wink! His face is friendly, his smile is cocked in glee Oh no, guess what! he's staring at ME!   Best Friend It's like ice on a hot summer's day brand new flowers in the month of may words from nowhere, when you didn't know what to say rainbow colors on a gray gray day all like being with you, my greatest friend   sleepovers without any rest, knowing every answer on your math test, like waking up and you're already dressed and having you as my permanent guest.   All like being with you my greatest friend the great days that never end nobody else could comprehend how I love my best friend   walking on clouds in thin air trees growing candy and chocolate everywhere like spending everyday at the fair fresh cool breezes blowing in my hair   All like being with you my greatest friend the great days that never end nobody else could comprehend how I love my best friend   Pillow fight screams and marshmallow dreams, sugar coated lemon drops grape flavored icicle pops. Great days that have no end all like being with you, my best friend.   Snow Day Look out the window and what do you find? A smooth white carpet the nights snow left behind. Run up the stairwell to see if it is real flick on the radio, Hey DJ what's the deal? It might be a snow day please let it be a snow day   School after school canceled because of ice and snow The roads are slick, and the buses should not go Grab your galoshes, your water proof boots, your snow pants, your mittens, your snow board to boot it's gonna be a snow day yeah there's no way, we'll make it to school today   Let's go skiing, snow hiking, winter biking, snow riding, Let's go skating, ice sledding, snow shoeing, skate riding... snow sailing, winter flailing, parachute ice flying, skate skiing, tummy skating, whamee board riding,...   Ice fishing, figure skating, ski jumping, soar polar bear searching, toboggan flying, boarding tricks and more! Winter swimming, snow fort making, snowball fights c'mon! wampa hunting, glacier racing, boogie boards and were not done...   chicken game, don't be lame, throw the snow ball video games are not the same till the snow thaws there are no laws it's a snow day, yeah it's a snow day!   Follow Your Light It's easy to feel afraid and harder to be brave When it seems like people everywhere Forget to care, or refuse to share But hold on to yourself, And what you believe Stand up for what's right And follow your light   Follow the love and kindness Let go of the hate and blindness The truth will guide you along Forget the fears that bind you Remember the smiles that find you And follow your light   All this talk about the new year and what might be to come Put away your valuables Prepare for the millennium But all you need's inside you, It's safe within your heart Just follow your light And everything will be alright   Follow the love and kindness Let go of the hate and blindness The truth will guide you along Forget the fears that bind you Remember the smiles that find you And follow your light   Forget the fears that bind you Remember the smiles that find you And follow your light follow your light follow your light   Trampoline Trampoline! I wanna spend this day (on a) Trampoline! bouncing to places I've never been Trampoline! checkin' out sights I've never seen Trampoline! just bouncing away   Bounce to Texas - what a dry place a cracked and wrinkled ground now commonplace looking for cowboys, cactuses... easy to do girls, boys and ten ga'ln hats the lone star's callin' you...   Trampoline! I wanna spend this day (on a) Trampoline! bouncing to places I've never been Trampoline! checkin' out sights I've never seen Trampoline! just bouncing away   yee haw I say! well I'll bounce away to China All the way around the world life could not be finer kids seem the same, just like you and me citys abuzz with electrifying prosperity   Trampoline!

I can't find my way (off this) Trampoline! I'm done bouncing to places I've never been Trampoline! I've checked out sights I've never seen I want off this trampoline.   Just as I said that, (did I) say it aloud?

I wanna spend tomorrow on a trampoline, Trampoline! bouncing to places I've never been Trampoline! checkin' out sights I've never seen Trampoline! just bouncing away Trampoline! just bouncing away Trampoline! just bouncing away   Lunchroom Boy Saw him first in line, he dressed so fine, his eyes met mine, nearly blew my mind! O he's so kind. He's my fourth grade find lunchroom boy.   Started to mastermind bumping into him from behind O his heart I'll soon entwine my offer he cannot decline. My seat we'll have to reassign all the girls I will outshine lunchroom boy.   Be my lunch time date, it's been predetermined by fate nothing's left to negotiate, you're my lunchroom boy.   I really must confess but I can't reveal my eagerness my voice I can't access, or give into this craziness. You I won't impress, with my jittery nervousness,   it's just outrageousness, feelings too hard to suppress can't get through this queasiness I guess the more about this I obsess the less of my lunch I'll possess you'll just have to wait until recess lunchroom boy.   Feel The Free Don't shade the sunshine on a sun-shiny day, see what the season has to say. Walk tall and proud laugh out loud, get out there and enjoy the day.   Step out from under that shady tree, let the outside grow all around you and be. Let it grow, don't be it's slow get outside and feel the free.   Don't be my shade on a sun-shiny day. Can it really shine this bright in may? Grab the bat and ball, don't wait until the fall hit it over the wall, run the bases all the way.   Tennis has to be one of the best games, anyone could reach real legitimate fame. Come on, serve the ball, jump high reach tall, and when I win, you'll have no teammates to blame.   Don't be my shade on a sun-shiny day, grab a basketball, one on one, lets play. Take that, slam dunk! Now who's got the funk? There another that's my off-the-board-ricochet.   Bodhisattva My dad flew home on a Lear jet plane. The runway was icy, but he got out just the same. He held this strange box under his arm, he seemed to protect it and keep it from all harm. Was I in for a surprise, he kneeled down and he looked into my eyes. He said "this box is my present to you, but before you open it, there is something you must do..."   Promise me to mind your mother, be ever so kind to your sister and brother. Always remember how to share, honor what is right and fair. Be happy everyday you're young most of all now just have fun. only one more thing to say, be sure you walk and feed her everyday.   Dad tore the top of the box wide open, and out flew a tiny furry golden. A small bounding jumping puppy, smiles, laughter and joy swept over me. There could not be a better night, even at ten degrees farenheight. Climbing over me with great intensity was my new best friend to be.   now here's Bodhisattva on my bed, Bodhi for short, well it's easier said. she follows me just about everywhere, when she's not allowed she gives me that big brown-eyed stare. She has got to be the greatest dog she brings back the ball, the stick, and even logs! Well of course I am no perfectionist, but I try to stick to the words that I promised   I promised to mind my mother be extra kind to my sister and brother. I always remember how to share, honor what is right and fair. Bodhi makes me happy while I'm young and she reminds me to have fun. From that night on I can say that I've walked and I've fed her everyday.   Thanks dad.   Xylophone I'm falling down the stairs I didn't even see the xylophone player It took me soaring, slipping and flying and now I could actually be dying The seconds drag like minutes, hours and weeks broken into milliseconds, with peaks   I knew I should have picked up the other day That xylophone made each foot go astray Now on a butt bruising, elbow biting, leg twisting ride I stay, hey and will I be in pieces when I reach? ('cause I am) I'm falling down the stairs!   I'm falling down the stairs I didn't even see the xylophone player It took me soaring, slipping and flying and now (all right) I may not be dying (but I am) falling down the stairs   Basement Town The death star outer space station, a weeble quickie mart gas station, a Ken and Barbie dream home, and a gnome deluxe super dome, are all places in my basement town.   Nothing better to do on a rainy day than build up a town and basement play. Filled with super sights and construction sights they're all places in my basement town.   Hey ho I'm a gonna go build up my basement town.   A lego plastic peanut farm, a fire station with built-in alarm, a lincoln log lumberjack home equipped with analog-digital cell phone they're all places in my basement town.   Hey ho I'm a gonna go build up my basement town.   Oh come down stairs and join the show bring doritos and popcorn, come on let's go start posting signs, and new designs for places in my basement town.   A shoe box hospital five stories tall, a thirty store super deluxe play-school mall, street signs and telephone lines, no time for thinking small for places in my basement town   Hey ho I'm a gonna go build up my basement town. Hey ho I'm a gonna go build up my basement town.   Jam Food Give me a song, I want to sing! Sing about, just about anything. Give me a story, with a great ring, turn it to music, and just let me sing.   Give me an intro, a great guitar lead, a piano, a bass string, a drummer is key. Let us serve you some jam food, A great jam's, a great feed!   Let the jam move you, from deep down below, let your toes wiggle through your soul it will grow. It's just jam food, serving up a treat, listen to the jam, enough for all to eat.   Give us a melody, It will go where? Here, there, everywhere... (we don't care!) Capture the spirit, let the music soar, follow the changes, no need for a score.   There again, there's the keys, watch those hands fly, that guitar solo, could bring tears to your eye. Now you get the jam, now you're in the groove, We'll give you the beat, it's your turn to move!   Let the jam move you, from deep deep down below, let your toes wiggle through your soul it will grow. It's just jam food, serving up a treat, listen to the jam, enough for all to eat.   Mom & Dad(website only track) If I had no mom or dad I'd do every thing that made me feel glad I'd eat chips right out of the bag and other junk until my belly sagged and I'd never go to bed mad never hear another nag...   If I had no mom or dad, life would just be better If I had no mom or dad, life would just be sweeter If I had no mom or dad, would it be bad? if I had no mom or dad   If I had no father or mother I'd have fun all day like no other playing outside at any hour i prefer doing things anytime they occur swimming every day even in thunder or just hanging around with my older brother   If I had no father or mother, life would just be better If I had no father or mother, life would just be better Brother, would life just be better.   but wait just a second...

There was something I didn't expect Gift from up above, never would have guessed A little cat, wet and sad as me On the windowsill right outside Scared and all alone, I sat up and sighed Guess somebody needs me after all   Chorus: As the years gone by, you've been by my side You help me when I'm down, love me when I'm frownin' You let me play with you, I love all those things we do When together, Last forever, Me & you   First day in my new school Didn't feel smart, Didn't feel cool Sat alone when the schoolyard bell rang out One friendly face I need so much Then on my shoulder came a touch You said, "Hey, do you wanna' throw the ball?" I was feelin' lonely and sad, (then) Thought about my little ol' wet cat Picked myself up and said "You're on." We've been best friends about ever since Can't recall a time, wasn't just like this Dreaming 'bout the future, Not far away   Brother Fiery words from Mom, on a scorched summer's day the door slammed, "That's it, I'm goin' away!" I leapt up to stop him with a beg and a plead he stormed past, Knocked me on my knee   Chorus: baby brother don't take it so hard but on this day, my brother ran away to the backyard   He packed pots and pans, enough clothes for the winter cookies, chips, birth-day cake, a chicken T.V. dinner He pitched a tent, fifty feet from pool side a radio, a lamp and Bodhi stashed inside   Leaves fell to the ground, frost covered the trees a foot of snow on his tent, He won't come in Out there two years, no longer mad at Mother but living off the land was O.K. with my Brother   Chorus: baby brother, Why do you live so hard? but 'till this day, my brother likes to stay in the backyard   Ready For Summer The last few ticks slowly talk watch every beat of the schoolroom clock My arm and right leg fell asleep ready and waiting to, Jump to my feet Final bell rings, class bursts into a cheer mad dash for the door, summer's finally here! T-shirts and shorts, barefoot for the season It's all good fun, and summertime's the reason   Chorus: Long days, short nights, pool, parties, water fights get ready, ready for summer Warm days, cool nights, whole, days spent flying kites so ready, ready for summer, I'm ready for fun!   Hallways are jammin', kids runnin', lockers slammin' paper balls bounce above heads To the back, of the bus, books strewn under our tread last ride of the year, summer's finally here! Rope swing, water ski, fly, fish in season It's all good fun, and summertime's the reason   Turnaround Suddenly it hits you, tingle in the bones get that funny feeling, you know you're in the zone Suddenly it hits you, colors start to change begins a tiny ripple, bump becomes a wave   Pre: Al-right, give yourself a pinch a-wouldn't you know it, you just got your wish   Chorus: That's the sound, (Turnaround) That's the sound, don't you know it That's the sound, (Turnaround) That's the sound, when you feel it That's the sound, (Turnaround) That's the sound, now you got it You know that you made it, but you got to believe it, Turnaround   Suddenly it hits you, ball begins to roll you just nailed a perfect strike, in a game o' ten pin bowl Suddenly it hits you spoken: a funk in no time flat we all hear the jingle, a home run off that bat   Green I Last night I had the strangest dream everyone on Earth turned a shade of green There was no sound, when my shoe hit the ground the world seemed to stop, turning round and round Met the street with a mission investigation, mixed frustration Cars at a standstill, buses stopped, no destination Not a single voice could be heard green bodies frozen still astride suddenly I noticed it was you by my side   II You were frozen solid but not ice green face, green hands, you, looked nothing like you but through the green the red of your hair showed through Just like a dream I knew that I was there Come on I said, you winked, you stayed silent I had to get moving, get out of the quiet! Up ahead in the distance, traffic light set to yellow red scattered crashed in trees and through fences no one was hurt, just frozen in green dances   III I quickly climbed up the pole jiggled the light, just a bit a little wiggle here and there the light flashed, red then yellow green a Technicolor rainbow, flavored the scene faces changed yellow, back to normal hue (Turnaround, there was you) Woke up in the light, sat back, remembered last night I had the strangest dream everyone on Earth a shade of green and you may not know it but I saved the scene   Bedtime Story I Say good night, to the man in the moon II Tell me, a bedtime story III Tuck me snug inside my bed Kiss my forehead, Close the curtain See you in the morning IV Tell me a bedtime story   All lyrics reprinted with permission ©Susan Birk BMI   ©2002 Bodhi Productions
