Nanna Bop
00:52
|
|||
|
If you take the Pufferball Express to the end of the line
You’ll find yourself at the edge of a magical forest.
Follow the sound of children’s voices
and you will come to a cottage where Nanna lives.
She is a sweet silver haired lady with sparkling eyes and a big kind smile.
Her front door is always open and the delicious smell of cookies baking fills the air.
Mister Sun and Mister Moon shine down on the forest day and night
and little woodland animals gather around to greet the kids as they arrive.
Soon the fun begins. Nanna starts humming a tune and the kids join in.
Even the birds in the trees and frogs in the pond are making music.
The whole forest is alive with song. If you listen closely, in the distance
you can hear the sound of the Puffball Express.
Chug chug, toot toot, chug chug, toot toot!

Thinkin' About
02:31

Thinkin' about my kitchen
Thinkin’ about a pie
Thinkin’ about the stars so bright in the sky
Thinkin’ about an orange
Thinkin’ about a bee
Thinkin’ of goin’ outside and climbing a tree
Thinkin’ about so many things
All in my mind
It’s so much fun to pick em’ out
One at a time
Thinkin’ about my haircut
Thinkin’ about a train
Thinkin’ about how water, goes down the drain
Thinkin’ about a rainbow
Thinkin’ about my cat
Thinkin’ about the color, of my favorite hat
Thinkin’ about so many things
All in my mind
It’s so much fun to pick em’ out
One at a time
Thinkin’ about a pickle
Thinkin’ about my face
Thinkin’ about an astronaut, in outer space
Thinkin’ about my pillow
Thinkin’ about my bed
Thinkin’ the story, Nanna just read
Thinkin’ about so many things
All in my mind
It’s so much fun to pick em’ out
One at a time
Thinkin’ about together
Thinkin’ about this song
Thinkin’ about how fun it is
When you sing along

Down by the station
Early in the morning
See the little pufferbellies
All in a row
See the station master
Turn the little handle
Chug chug toot toot!
Off they go
Down by the station
Early in the morning
See the shiny train cars
All in a row
Waitin' to get hitched up
And go on their adventure
Chug chug toot toot!
Off they go
Down by the station
Early in the morning
See my favorite engine
Ready to tow
All the other train cars
Will follow on behind him
Chug chug toot toot!
Off they go
Down by the station
Early in the morning
Climb on aboard
And hear the whistle blow
Mr. Conductor
Please take my ticket
Chug chug toot toot!
Off they go
Down by the station
Early in the morning
See the little pufferbellies
All in a row
See the station master
Turn the little handle
Chug chug toot toot!
Off they go
See the station master
Turn the little handle
Chug chug toot toot!
Off they go
Chug chug toot toot!
Off they go

Luckiest Kid
02:46
|

|
This is my mother
This is my dad
We love each other
And that makes me glad
When we’re together
We talk and play
Sometimes we’re quiet
And that is ok
This is my family and it’s easy to see
Why I’m sitting on top of the world
This is my family and it’s perfect for me
I’m the luckiest kid in the world
This is my brother
He’s really cool
Sometimes he walks me
Home after school
when I am grown up
And on my own
I know my family
Will always be home
This is my family and it’s easy to see
Why I’m sitting on top of the world
This is my family and it’s perfect for me
I’m the luckiest kid in the world

We Are We
02:47
|

|
You are you and I am me
God made us so differently
There’s no one else that we would rather be
I am me and you are you
We’re so close we stick like glue
Bein’ friends just suits us perfectly
I like sugar, I like honey
I am quiet, I am funny
Sometimes we don’t see eye to eye
I am brown, and I am yellow
I get wild, and I stay mellow
We are unique, and that is why
You are you and I am me
God made us so differently
When we are together we are we
When we are together we are we
We’ll be friends forever
Cause when we are together
We are we

My Grandfather's Clock
02:39
|
|||
|
My grandfather's clock was too large for the shelf
So it stood ninety years on the floor
It was taller by half than the old man himself
Though it weighed not a pennyweight more
It was bought on the morn of the day that he was born
And was always his treasure and pride
But it stopped, short never to go again
When the old man died
Ninety years without slumbering
His life seconds numbering
It stopped, short never to go again
When the old man died
My grandfather said that of those he could hire
Not a servant so faithful he found
For it wasted no time and had but one desire
At the close of each week to be wound
And it kept in its place, not a frown upon its face
And its hands never hung by its side
But it stopped short, never to go again
When the old man died
It rang and alarmed in the dead of the night
An alarm that for years had been dumb
And we knew that his spirit was pluming for flight
That his hour for departure had come
Still the clock kept the time with a soft and muffled chime
As we silently stood by his side
But it stopped short, never to go again
When the old man died
Ninety years without slumbering
His life seconds numbering
It stopped short, never to go again
When the old man died

Mister Moon
02:50

Mister moon, say goodnight
To the little star bright
Hanging there, next to you, way up high
Mister sun, think of me
When the day’s just begun
And you’re climbing your way through the sky
I’ll be in my bed
Such a sleepy head
Waiting for the time to rise and shine
But for now, say goodnight
As I turn out the light
This is my, fall asleep, lullaby
I’ll be in my bed
Such a sleepy head
Waiting for the time to rise and shine
But for now, say goodnight
As I turn out the light
This is my, fall asleep, lullaby

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
When this blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, through the night.
Then the traveller in the dark
Thanks you for your tiny spark;
He could not see where to go,
If you did not twinkle so.
In the dark blue sky you keep,
And often through my curtains peep,
For you never shut your eye
Till the sun is in the sky.
As your bright and tiny spark
Lights the traveller in the dark,
Though I know not what you are,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.

Lesley's Lullaby
02:26
|
|||
|
Little one, day is done
The moon is on it’s way
Hush-a-bye, way up high
Stars come out to play
Oh so near, I’ll be here
As you go to bed
Close your eyes, ’til sunrise
Wakes your sleepy head
Love is all around you
To keep you safe and warm
Now goodnight, and sleep tight
Til the early morn
