Lyrics to "Underwater" CD
Underwater
Copyright © 2004 Amy Skelton Otey
Glub, glub, glub, it's time to take a tub.
Mom just called, and we're ready to scrub.
Strip right down to my birthday suit.
Hey look at me, aren't I cute!
Underwater, swimming like an otter.
Underwater, swimming like a fish.
Not afraid to try, Mom's nearby.
Under, under, under, underwater.
Bubble, bubble, bubble, I won't make any trouble.
No more splashing on the floor.
A bubble house, a bubble mouse, a bubble beard
Hey somebody, bring me the mirror!
Underwater, swimming like an otter.
Underwater, swimming like a fish.
Not afraid to try, Mom's nearby.
Under, under, under, underwater.
Oogah, oogah, oogah, I'm a submarine.
I'm the best one that you've ever seen.
I'm a dolphin, I'm a shark,
I'm a mermaid, swimming in a mermaid park.
Underwater, swimming like an otter.
Underwater, swimming like a fish.
Not afraid to try, Mom's nearby.
Under, under, under, underwater.

3 Little Piggies
Copyright © 2004 Amy Skelton Otey
OINK!
Well there were three little piggies getting out on their own
each one said, "I can build my own home"
Mama said, "you gotta Make a good try, but you
better watch out if that wolf comes by."
The wolf, the wolf, the wooooo -oolf!
See the first little brother heeded the call and he
built a quick house outta mud and straw, But that
mean old wolf came by one night and that
sorry straw house couldn't put up a fight.
CHORUS:
Yeah he huffed, and puffed and blew the house down. (I said)
he huffed, and puffed and blew the house down. (I said)
he huffed, and puffed and blew the house down. - OINK
And the second little brother, a drummer by trade, he
built his house outta sticks instead. But that
mean old wolf came by one moonlit night, and the
second little house didn't put up a fight.
CHORUS
The third brother piggy did a smart little trick. He
built his house outta mortar and brick. The
wolf came by expecting easy prey. Yeah he
stood outside the house and this is what he said. He said,
CHORUS
Listen up now! - With all that huffing and puffing going on yeah
Those three little piggies they went out on the roof.
"Oink Oink yeah", they shouted down to that wolf,
"You can huff all you want, you can puff all you care, but you
won't singe a bit of our chinny chin hair cause!
It's a brick house, it's mighty mighty - it's where those piggies hang out!
OINK!
Yeah, last I heard that wolf had a new gig, something about - Grandma
and the hood. Yeah, he better watch out for Grandma you know

5
Little
Monkeys
Traditional
Copyright © 2004 Arranged
by Amy and Alex Otey
Deep in the jungle where the paw-paws grow,
Lives a mean old alligator. His name is Joe.
He lazed all day in the jungle sun,
But what he wanted was a little fun.
See, there were 5 little monkeys swinging from the trees,
Teasing Mr. Alligator, "You can't catch me!"
Along came Mr. Alligator, sneaky as can be,
And he snapped that monkey right out of that tree!
Ooh,ooh aah ahh, ooh ooh, aah, ahh,
Ooh ohh, aah, aah, ooh ooh, aah, aah.
Now, there were 4 little monkeys swinging from the trees,
Teasing Mr. Alligator, "You can't catch me!"
Along came Mr. Alligator, sneaky as can be,
And he snapped that monkey right out of that tree!
Ooh, ooh aah ahh, ooh ooh, aah, ahh,
Ooh ohh, aah, aah, ooh ooh, aah, aah.
Now, there were 3 little monkeys swinging from the trees,
Teasing Mr. Alligator, "You can't catch me!"
Along came Mr. Alligator, sneaky as can be,
And he snapped that monkey right out of that tree!
Ooh,ooh aah ahh, ooh ooh, aah, ahh,
Ooh ohh, aah, aah, ooh ooh, aah, aah.
Now, there were 2 little monkeys swinging from the trees,
Teasing Mr. Alligator, "You can't catch me!"
Along came Mr. Alligator, sneaky as can be,
And he snapped that monkey right out of that tree!
Ooh,ooh aah ahh, ooh ooh, aah, ahh,
Ooh ohh, aah, aah, ooh ooh, aah, aah.
So, there was 1 little monkey left swinging in the trees,
Teasing Mr. Alligator, "You can't catch me!"
Along came Mr. Alligator, sneaky as can be,
And -- snap! "You missed me!"
Ooh,ooh aah ahh, ooh ooh, aah, ahh,
Ooh ohh, aah, aah, ooh ooh, aah, aah.
Now, there are no more monkeys swinging in the trees!
Away swims Mr. Alligator, sneaky as can be.

Okra seems a little slimy.

The
Zoo
Copyright © 2004 Amy Skelton Otey
I
know an elephant, name was Bob.
He liked to eat corn on the cob.
But, Bob got tired of corn one day
And decided to run away.
So, what will an elephant do
When he doesn't want to live in the zoo anymore?
What will an elephant do?
He will come home to live with you.
I know a dinosaur, name was Dale.
Played all day with a shovel and pail.
Dale got tired of the beach one day
And decided to run away.
So, what will a dinosaur do
When he doesn't want to live in the zoo anymore?
What will a dinosaur do?
He will come home to live with you.
I know a tiger, name was Tunisia.
Tried really hard to keep ya happy and please ya.
Tunisia got just plain tired one day
And decided to run away.
So, what will a tiger do
When he doesn't want to live in the zoo anymore?
What will a tiger do?
He will come home to live with you.
So you and your new friends are playing in your room
doing stuff you shouldn't, like piling up all the dirty
clothes and jumping in, when you hear a knock on your door,
and you try to hide, but then she knocks again and says,
"It's your mother. May I come in?" So, the door
finally
opens, and she says, "Argh, this place looks like a zoo!"
So what will the animals do,
When they don't want to live at the zoo anymore?
Yeah what will the animals do?
They will come home and live with you.
Hey what are we all gonna do,
When we don't want to live at the zoo anymore?
Yeah, what are we all gonna do?
We're gonna come home and live with you,
Come home and live with you
Come home and live with you!

The Tarantula Tango
Copyright © 2004 Amy Skelton Otey
I wait for a cool autumn night, When the moon is orangey and bright
I get ready for the Halloween scene.
See, what I really need, Is a partner to take the lead
Takes two to tango you know, So, get ready let's go.
The tarantula tango, What a lovely fandango
All the way to Durango, We'll dance the night away.
The tarantula tango, What a lovely fandango --
Just don't offer me mango, Because I only eat meat.
Let's be a team, We'll be such a scream
So clever, so rare
So, dress up with care, Ah the treats we will share
You be the ghost, And I'll be your hair
The tarantula tango, What a lovely fandango
All the way to Durango, We'll dance the night away.
The tarantula tango, What a lovely fandango --
Just don't offer me mango, Because I only eat meat.
Speaking of treats, Go ahead, you take the sweets.
I'm a committed carnivore.
But, I do ask a favor, A tender morsel to savor:
A juicy mosquito, atop a Dorito™
Or a bug burrito. I'd settle for a Frito™.
The tarantula tango, What a lovely fandango
All the way to Durango, We'll dance the night away.
The tarantula tango, What a lovely fandango --
Just don't offer me mango, Because I only eat meat.

Pick
It Up, Up, Up
Copyright © 2004 Amy Skelton Otey
So, do you think if we made clean up fun, we might like it better?
Let's play a game.
We'll start out slowly and the faster we go, the faster we clean up.
Now remember, a place for everything and everything in its place,
That way when we want to play with it again, we'll know where it is.
Okay, are you ready?
If you used it, pick it up, up, up.
Played with it, pick it up, up, up.
If you're done now, pick it up, up, up.
Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up.
Very good, now faster
If you used it, pick it up, up, up.
Played with it, pick it up, up, up.
If you're done now, pick it up, up, up.
Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up.
Okay, let's mix it up a bit.
When I sing slowly, you move slowly while picking up.
Then when I sing fast, you move fast and pick up fast.
If you used it, pick it up, up, up.
Played with it, pick it up, up, up.
If you're done now, pick it up, up, up.
Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up.
Pick
it up, pick it up, pick it up.
Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up.

Down in the borough is a funky little place
Where the coffee is hot, and the food is great
Everybody's welcome, and that's what it means to fall
For Failte.
Come on to Failte
Where everybody knows the cha-cha
And you can have a little cuppa
And everybody's got the beat!

Hang out in the green room, hang out till way past noon
You can boogie, you can have a little fun and you can fall

Big
Sister
Copyright © 2004 Amy Skelton Otey
Gonna
be a big sister soon, and I'll have to share all of my stuff.
I know I will get used to that, but at first it's gonna be tough.
Daddy says our family is growing.
Mommy gives lots of hugs.
She lets me listen to the baby
And she tells that I'll always be her scootybug.
Gonna be a big sister soon, and I'm a little scared.
Will the baby be a boy or a little girl, just like me with blonde
hair.
Daddy says our family is growing.
Mommy gives lots of hugs.
She lets me listen to the baby
And she tells that I'll always be her scootybug.
I remember when our family was just three --
Mommy, Daddy, and me --
But now we have a new addition,
And we're so happy to have a little baby.
Hey, I'm a big sister now, and I'm feeling very proud.
I don't even mind if the baby needs some time or cries out loud.
Daddy says our family is growing.
Mommy gives lots of hugs.
She lets me hold the baby
And she tells that I'll always be her scootybug.

Magical
Waltz
Copyright © 2004 Amy Skelton Otey
Just
before bed, before sleep takes my head,
I dance through the rooms in my house.
On tippy-toe, I move to and fro,
Quiet as a little mouse.
It's a magical waltz, a magical waltz,
Dancing around in my room.
Magical waltz, it's a magical waltz,
Swaying along with the moon.
And the rain fell soft on the windowsill.
The time flew by, yet it all stood still.
Farewell to another day gone by.
I've combed and I've washed, I've bathed and I've brushed.
I've put on my jammies so cozy.
I've put away toys, I've quit all the noise.
I've done everything that I was supposed to.
It's a magical waltz, a magical waltz,
Dancing around in my room.
Magical waltz, it's a magical waltz,
Swaying along with the moon.

Goodnight
Sweetheart
Copyright © 2004 Amy Skelton Otey
Goodnight sweetheart,
Don't let the moon catch you awake this late.
Lay down your head,
And the sleep will come to you.
Looking forward, tomorrow,
Only time to borrow
Sleep, sleep, sleep,
Peace, peace, peace.
Goodnight sweetheart,
Even the birds have gone to sleep
Just close your eyes,
And the sleep will come to you
Looking forward, tomorrow,
Only time to borrow
Sleep, sleep, sleep,
Peace, peace, peace.

Go
To Sleep
Traditional
Copyright © 2004 Arranged
by Amy and Alex Otey
Hush my darling, sleep serenely.
Close your eyes and go to sleep.
Mother's rocking, humming softly.
Close your eyes and go to sleep.
Angels hover ever lower.
Watching over your shining face.
I will hold you close, enfold you.
Close your eyes and go to sleep.
