LYRICS

I Spy

Laura Doherty ©2008

I spy a mailbox blue I spy a stop sign red
I spy a taxi cab yellow La dee da dee da la da dee da la dee da

I spy a skyscraper gray I spy the trees green
I spy a lady with a purple hat
La dee da dee da la da dee da

Look at what I can see When I’m walking around the city
Look at what I can see

I spy a flower pink I spy a doggie brown
I spy an alley cat orange La dee da dee da la da dee da

Chorus

I spy the lake blue I spy a firetruck red
I spy a school bus yellow La dee da dee da la da dee da

Hot Dog!

I’ll have a hot hot hot, hot hot hot hot dog
On a pop pop pop pop pop poppy seed bun
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 toppings, makes our Chicago hot dog lots of fun
I’ll have some yellow yellow yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow mustard
Green green green, green green relish too
Red red red, red red red tomatoes
White white white white white onions will do

Two sport peppers and celery salt
And wash it down with a chocolate malt
And don’t forget the pickle………tickle tickle tickle!

Kitty Cat

Laura Doherty ©2008

Kitty Cat, Kitty Cat, I’ve got a Kitty Cat
Looking out the window, living as a city cat
Kitty Cat, Kitty Cat, she’s such a pretty cat
Kitty Cat! Meow!……bass run

She sits in the window and sees a hummingbird Humming a
tune that she thinks she’s heard
She waves her paw to say hello to the hummingbird
And the birdy sings

“Hmm hmm hmm” …..“Hmm hmm hmm”… “Hmm hmm hmm” Hmm…Hmmm.

She sits in the window and sees a bumble bee Buzzing in the flowers, buzzing in the trees
She waves her paw to say hello to the bumblebee
And the bee sings
Buzz buzz buzz…. Buzz buzz buzz…. Buzz buzz buzz….Buzz Buzz!

Chorus

She sits in the window, sees a pidgeon gray
Perchin’ on the roof, enjoying his day
She waves her paw to say hello, to the pidgeon
And the pidgeon goes Brrrr brrrr brrrrr


She sits in the window, sees a puppy dog
Sniffin’ in the grass, chasing round a ball
She waves her paw to say hello, to the puppy dog down below

And the puppy says
Woof woof woof….

Rockin' at the Zoo

©2008 Laura Doherty

All the animals are rockin' at the zoo
All the animals are rockin' at the zoo
They're having a party gettin' into the groove

All the lions are roaring at the zoo
All the monkeys are swinging at the zoo
All the seals are clapping at the zoo
All the penguins are waddling at the zoo, waddle waddle
All the elephants are stomping at the zoo
Let's dance!

All the animals are rockin' at the zoo
All the animals are rockin' at the zoo
They're having a party gettin' into the groove

Firefly

Firefly firefly, fly through the sky and light up the night, then close your eyes

Turtle, Turtle, please be well and climb into your shell and close your eyes

Chorus
Close your eyes it’s time to go to sleep
I’ll tuck you in with a kiss and a hug, I’ll see you in the morning...When the sun comes up

Spider Spider spin your web now it’s time to go to be, and close your eyes

Rabbit Rabbit, nibbling on a carrot, now close your eyes

Chorus

Chickadee Chickadee rest your wing, now it’s time to sleep
Close your eyes

Little one, my honey bun, rest your head when the day is done

And close your eyes
Chorus
