Once upon a time in the deep dark woods
Along came little Red Riding Hood
She was carrying a basket of muffins and jam
To have for tea with her dear old Gran
Who’s afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?
Who’s afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?
The Big Bad Wolf came a-sneaking by
He found Little Red and he told her lies
About a shortcut to Grandma’s off the path
She could pick wildflowers and get there fast
The wolf came a-knocking on Granny’s door
Granny picked her slippers up from the floor
The wolf burst in, Granny screamed in fright
And he gulped her down in one big bite
He looked in the mirror and combed his hair
He put on Granny’s glasses and her frilly underwear
He jumped under the covers of Granny’s bed
And waited for the voice of Little Red
Looks like big trouble for Little Red Riding Hood
That wolf’s up to no good
In the middle of the deep dark woods
Looks like big trouble for Little Red Riding Hood
In the middle of the deep dark woods
My, my what great big eyes you’ve got Grandma
Your ears are hairy, your teeth look scary Grandma
I’m sorry but you really look a fright
Dear, dear all the better to see and hear with
Now sit right down and bring those goodies here if
You’d like to join your Granny for a bite
Just then Little Red spun around
The wolf leapt out of bed in a single bound
He slipped all over the hardwood floor
And chased Little Red out the kitchen door
She ran across the yard to the garden shed
Picked up an axe, swung it above her head
It wiggled and wobbled to and fro
And landed with a clunk on the wolf’s big toe
He hollered in pain - - it wasn’t very funny
When a gurgling noise erupted from his tummy
He hopped and he hollered - - he slobbered and slurped
And out popped Granny with one big burp
Granny scolded, “Shame on you!”
The wolf said, “I was hungry. What was I supposed to do?”
So they gave him a snack and asked him to stay
To be Granny’s pet wolf till the end of her days
Looks like no trouble for Little Red Riding Hood
That wolf’s up to no good
In the middle of the deep dark wood
Looks like no trouble for Little Red Riding Hood
In the middle of the deep dark wood

I love boating. We have a great time.
If you look in our boat you will find
What you need for a safe trip
Let’s get on the water and let’s not tip
What you need for a safe trip
Let’s get on the water and let’s not tip
Lifejackets for everyone
And just in case bring an extra one
Zip it up Zip, Zip, up your lifejacket
Zip it up Zip, Zip, up your lifejacket
Zip it up And buckle it too
Don’t rock the boat or fool around
When the boat gets moving sit right down
Sit down Rock, rock, don’t rock the boat
Sit down Rock, rock, don’t rock the boat
Sit right down And no horsing around
If you take on water there’s no doubt
You will need a bailer to bail it out
Bail it out Scoop, scoop, scoop up the water
Bail it out Scoop, scoop, scoop up the water
Bail it out Bail it out
Everybody needs a place to sit
Don’t overload in case you tip
You’ll tip Tip, tip, too many people
You’ll tip Tip, tip, too many people
You’ll tip Please don’t overload
After dark you will need
Lights on the boat so you’ll be seen
Be seen Light, light, lights on the boat
Be seen Light, light, lights on the boat
Be seen When the sun goes down
I love boating. We have a great time.
If you look in our boat you will find
What you need for a safe trip
Let’s get on the water and let’s not tip

Cinderella
04:14
|

|
It was long ago in a far away land
A teenaged girl was feeling oh so sad
Her two stepsisters were not any fun
They were mean and lazy – all the chores were done by
Cinderella – Ahhhhhhhh
Cinderella – Ahhhhhhhh
She washed the dishes and mopped the floors
Scrubbed out the toilet and so much more
She shoveled the driveway and mowed the lawn
Her chores began at the break of dawn for Cinderella . . .
The olde towne crier came a-ringing a bell
He had an announcement and he had to yell,
“The Prince will be throwing a fancy ball!”
The invitation went out to all but Cinderella . . .
Her stepsister said, “But you can’t go!
You’re covered in soot from head to toe
You don’t have a dress or dancing shoes
So you’ll have to stay home. Oh boo hoo hoo Cinderella.” . . .
She sat alone in a corner and cried
When a tiny sparkle came flying inside
It flew and flickered and glittered and grew
Into a tiny godmother saying, “How do you do!” to Cinderella . . .
With a few magic words and a wave of her wand
Cinderella’s dirty torn rags were gone
She had tiny glass slippers and a fancy gown
And a horse and carriage to take her downtown - Cinderella . . .
Cinderella was ready and raring to go
But there was one last thing she needed to know
At the stroke of midnight the spell is done
There’ll be no more magic and no more fun for Cinderella . . .
She made a big entrance at the palace door
The Prince was standing on the ballroom floor
He walked towards her with a steady gaze
He took her hand and danced the night away with Cinderella . . .

The other day I met a bear
A great big bear a way up there
I looked at him. He looked at me
I sized up him. He sized up me
And so he said, “Why don’t you run?
I see you ain’t got any gun.”
And so I ran away from there
But right behind me was that bear
Ahead of me I saw a tree
A great big tree. Oh glory be
The nearest branch was ten feet up
But I thought I’d jump and trust my luck
And so I jumped into the air
But I missed that branch away up there
Now don’t you fret. Now don’t you frown
‘Cause I caught that branch on the way back down
That’s all there is. There ain’t no more
Unless I meet that bear once more
But then I met that bear again
I shook his paw and now we’re friends
