1. Nora's Room
Crash, bang, crash bang boom,
Something's going on in Nora's room.
Crash, bang, crash bang boom,
Something's going on in Nora's room.
Crash, bang, crash bang boom,
Something's going on in Nora's room.
Sound like girls, sounds like boys,
Sounds like someone makin' lots of noise.
(Chorus)
Now how much noise does a little girl need?
It sounds like the whole city zoo got freed.
Sounds like the bear is dancin' with the moose.
(They like to dance when they're on the loose.)
Sounds like hippos at a hippo hop,
Or when you pick up a piano and you let it drop,
Or 16 pumpkins falling off a truck,
Or a couple of gorillas playin' duck, duck, duck, duck
Goose. Bang, crash bang boom,
(Chorus)
Like london bridge is really falling down
Or a couple of giants are sitting on a town
Or 47 monkeys are talkin' on the phone
Or 47 dogs who're fighting for a bone
Bark, Bark, bang, crash bang goom,
(Chorus)
Sounds like a rodeo, right upstairs,
Or a bunch of rhinos playin' musical chairs.
Sounds like a dump truck dumpin' its junk,
Or an elephant hoedown (swing yer trunk).
(Chorus)
Sounds like girls, sounds like boys,
Sounds like someone makin' lots of noise
The sign on her door says, "Enter if you dare"
So, I just say, "What's goin' on in there?"
"Nothing."
Crash, bang, crash bang boom,
Something's going on in Nora's room.
Crash, bang, crash bang boom,
Something's going on in Nora's room.
Go Back to Nora's Room . . .
2. Get The Rhythm
Put the rhythm in your feet (ain't that sweet)
Put the rhythm in your toes (where the music goes)
Let the rhythm go anywhere the rhythm goes
Put the rhythm in your hands (pots and pans)
Put the rhythm in your knees (the buzzin' of the bees)
Let the rhythm keep goin' 'till you say
Please get the rhythm
Uh-huh, get the rhythm
Don't let the rhythm stop
Please get the rhythm
Uh-huh, get the rhythm
Let's hop, hop, hop, don't stop
Put the rhythm up here (in your ear)
Put the rhythm down there (the rocking chair)
Let the rhythm go up, down, anywhere
Put the rhythm in your back (way out back)
Put the rhythm in your head (that's what she said)
Let the rhythm keep goin' like I said
(Chorus)
Put the rhythm in one (Done)
Put the rhythm in two (That's you)
Put the rhythm in three (Count on me)
Put the rhythm in four (Dog at the door)
Put the rhythm in five (I can jump your jive)
Put the rhythm in six (Ya gotta pick up stix)
Put the rhythm in seven (A lotta people in heaven)
Put the rhythm in eight (Ya gotta set the rhythm straight)
(Chorus)
Go Back to Nora's Room . . .
3. Mama's Kitchen
(based on the traditional song, All Around the Kitchen)
All around the kitchen, cock-a-doodle-doo
All around Mama's Kitchen, cock-a-doodle-doo
All around the kitchen, cock-a-doodle-doo
All around Mama's Kitchen, cock-a-doodle-doo
Now, stop right still
Put your hand on your hip
Let your right foot slip
Now you do it like this, do it like that
(Chorus)
Now walk like a duck
Now walk liek an Egyptian
Now walk like a king
You can do anything
(Chorus)
Who's in the kitchen?
(Rosie's in the kitchen)
Who's in the kitchen?
(Sammy's in the kitchen)
Who's in the kitchen?

4. Sweet As A Swing Set
He's cunning as a card trick
He's bold as a bear
He's happy as a hatrack whose hats are all there
He's busy as a ball game
And tricky as a toy
He's fast as a fire truck
He's my little boy
She's warm as a wigwam
She's calm as a cloud
She's friendly as a foghorn (sometimes she gets loud)
She's nice as a night light
And cute as a curl
She's kind as a kite tail
She's my little girl
They're sweet as a swing set
they're solid as stones
Delirious as dogs who just found 15 bones
They're happy as a handshake
My children, my two
Come, let me tell you
How much I love you
Oooo, I love you
Go Back to Nora's Room . . .
5. Elizabeth Explains It All
I call my cat Elizabeth;
I ances her after me.
Were she a him, I'd call her Jim,
Or maybe Mr. C.
My mother picks me flowers,
She puts them in a jar.
My dad is almost tall enough to
Swing on a star.
Sing, sing, (go baby)
'Round the ring, yeah
Sing, sing (go baby)
'Round the ring
I call my sister Nora,
Liek everybody does.
I used to call her baby girl
When that was what she was.
Nora tells me stories,
She keeps them in a jar.
And only me and Nora know
What our secrets are.
(Chorus)
I have a dog names Somebody;
I named him after you.
He thinks that chasing Nora is what
He was born to do.
My mother likes to hold me,
And sing a sleepy tune
And Dad is almost tall enough to
Bring home the moon.
(Chorus)
Soon it is my birthday.
I will be five or three.
I'm ont sure what the number is,
But that's okay with me.
'Cause I can count the candles
And put them in a jar,
And soon will be tall enough
To swing on a star.
(Chorus, to fade)
Go Back to Nora's Room . . .
6. Mango Walk
This is a traditional Jamincan song. Mango Walk is an orchard
where the mango fruit is grown. Number 'leven (eleven) is a
variety of mango.
My brother did-a tell me that you go mango walk,
You go mango, walk, you go mango walk.
My brother did-a tell me that you go mango walk
And steal all the number 'leven.
Now tell me Joe, do tell me for true,
Do tell me for true, do tell me,
That you don't go to no mango walk
And steal all the number 'leven.
I tell you, Sue, I tell you for true,
I tell you for true, I tell you,
That I don't go to no mango walk
And steal all the number 'leven.
(Chorus)
Go Back to Nora's Room . . .
7. Barefoot Blues
Your daddy forgot his overcoat
Your mama forgot her purse.
Your brother forgot his flashlight.
Now wait a minute - it gets worse.
The rooster forgot to crow this morning -
No cock-a-doodle-doos.
And everybody forgot to remind you,
So, you forgot your shoes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
You forgot your shoes.
Those things that come in twos -
You forgot your shoes.
Katie forgot to bring the umbrella, but
The rain forgot to pour.
Willie forgot to feed the tiger, but
The tiger forgot to roar.
The teacher forgot it was Tuesday
And whose lunchbox was whose,
And everybody forgot to reming you
So, you forgot your shoes.
(Chorus)
So, there's two little sneakers, sholaces all
Messed up in a knot, knot.
Two little sneakers, hear 'em singing,
"Oh, forget me not, not,"
Two little sneakers, size eleven,
They wanna shuffle and go, go.
Hear 'em singing, "Forget me not, 'cause
I wanna heel and toe."
Let's go!
The fireman forgot to bring the ladder
But the fire forgot to get hot.
Noah forgot where he put the hammer.
Now, how's he gonna build that ark? (Not!)
The sun forgot to set tonight
So, everyone forgot to snooze.
Yeah, everybody forgot about something,
And you forgot your shoes.
(Chorus)
Go Back to Nora's Room . . .
8. Push The Elephant
You gotta push, push,
You gotta push the elephant,
Push, push, you gotta push the elephant,
Push the elephant, push, push,
If you wanna get the elephant:
On the bus (or)
Out of the house (or)
Over the hill (or)
Back to the jungle (or)
Whatever.
Go Back to Nora's Room . . .
9. Boys and Girls Together
Boys and girls together,
And we go one step, two step,
Everybody watch your step.

10. Ding Dong Dog
Run and chase the brown dog.
He really doesn't mind.
If it were raining cats and dogs,
He might be hard to find.
DING DONG, DING DONG DOG.
Run and chase the brown dog.
He isn't what he seems.
See him in the park today,
You'll see him in your dreams.
DING DONG, DING DONG DOG.
Run and chase the brown dog.
You know he likes to run.
When it's raining cats and dogs,
The dogs have all the fun.
DING DONG, DING DONG DOG.
Run and chase the brown dog
Teach him how to sing.
He could learn this silly song
And sing it for the king.
DING DONG, DING DONG DOG.
Go Back to Nora's Room . . .

Everybody's doin' it, hopin' to be hip,
Hopin' to hop to the top of the pop.
Hop to the top of the pop.
Everybody's playin' 'em, juke box,
Big juke, big box, white sox.
Put another dollar in the juke box.
Swing that box and drop your sox.

So come on, Roger, let's hop,
Let's hippety hop from toe to top.
Let's flash slacks, drop sox,
