Bottle of Sunshine 03:10
lyrics

BOTTLE OF SUNSHINE I can't wait for the day to begin (come on birdies start singing early) I get dressed up and call my friends (worms wiggling, everybody's giggling) it's time to get out and play…where do we go today? I got a big Bottle Of Sunshine mixed it up with a bowl of daydreams poured it into a suitcase full of laughter that I found you won't find me sitting around... Mom and dad wonder what I do (I'm not slackin’, time to get packin’) with invisible friends and two big shoes (bells ringing, everybody's singing) throw a party, get up and dance to my favorite rock ‘n roll band. There's only so much time in the day and I don't have a minute to waste. Do, do, doo… I'm too busy making up my backyard puppet show. I've got a big bottle of sunshine mixed it up with a bowl of daydreams poured it into a suitcase full of laughter that I found you won't find me sitting around...

SCHOOL I really love the weekends, I do a lot of things I like to go out walking, and think up songs to sing. I got a backyard filled with all my toys- I run around and make a lot of noise but I can’t wait to get back to School No matter what other kids say, I have a lot of fun When we’re learning things here at School I bet anyone can see we have a lot of fun. I have really great teachers, who are never ever mean I know NY and California and all the states between. I can tell you all the colors of the rainbow I understand just what makes the moon glow I’m not saying it’s easy, you know there are times When I’d rather not read, write or memorize. But I love music, math and art Putting things together—taking them apart Words & music: Lisa Mathews & Mikel Gehl C 2004 Deck Party Music

Float in a boat with your sail raised high moving fast upon the sea. I'll come along and we'll sing sailing songs and be home just in time for tea.

Boom-Boom, Shimmy-Shimmy I was walking down the street one pretty day Passed by a construction site where I heard the foreman say “Move that dirt, blast that rock, pile high those bricks— we got a lotta work to do but let’s have fun doing it.” And they went: Boom-Boom, Shimmy-Shimmy Boom-Boom, Shimmy-Shimmy Boom-Boom, Shimmy-Shimmy, Boom When I turned the corner some kids were gathered round A man drumming on two buckets, seated on the ground. Some kids stomped their feet, some clapped to the beat— Dancing in the summer sun to music that was sweet And they went: Boom-Boom, Shimmy-Shimmy Boom-Boom, Shimmy-Shimmy Boom-Boom, Shimmy-Shimmy, Boom Open up your ears, open up your eyes You’ll find inspiration in the day or night You might wanna dance, you might wanna sing You’ll hear music everywhere if you’re really listening And you’ll go Boom-Boom, Shimmy-Shimmy Boom-Boom, Shimmy-Shimmy Boom-Boom, Shimmy-Shimmy, Boom Written By: Lisa Mathews & Mikel Gehl

SPACE SONG I'm going far to the red planet Mars where the air is thin and cold gonna ride above the jet stream where the spiders on earth can't get me... I'm going far to the red planet Mars where the air is thin and cold. I'm gonna run to the big star Sun that makes our day so bright gonna rise above the ocean better bring some suntan lotion. I'm gonna run to the big star Sun that makes our day so bright Ooo, I’m dancing with the aliens Ooo, I’m spinning on Saturn’s ring Ooo, skipping on a moonbeam… It’s the place to be… Come along with me.. We’ll have a race… I’ll meet you up in space. I'm gonna fly high above the sky and count a thousand stars I'll be back again some day when I've seen the Milkyway I'm gonna fly high above the sky and count a thousand stars Written by: Lisa Mathews & Mikel Gehl

Book of Dreams 03:27

BOOK OF DREAMS I set sail on a golden sea, rainbows in the sky ahead, seagulls sing with me. I go fast, I travel far riding on wispy waves all the way to Zanzibar What do you see When you close your eyes? You have to be looking in your Book Of Dreams. a great big world More than it seems You have to be looking in your Book Of Dreams. I come ashore, I find you there Dancing with butterflies flowers in your hair. We spin fast, we laugh so hard The clouds look like angels that smile and wink and nod. If we can walk we can dance If we can talk we can sing so whole world will hear We don’t have wings, but still we fly Touch the highest mountaintop while soaring through the sky. To the stars, or deepest sea I can go anywhere, be who I want to be. Written by: Lisa Mathews & Mikel Gehl

I want to spin, spin, spin like a merry-go-round Start out fast and not slow down. The sky above me goes round and round… I want to spin, spin, spin, spin , spin Jump! Shake! Spin! I want to Jump, Jump, Jump, Jump, Jump… Jump, Jump, Jump, Jump, Jump… I want to Jump, Jump, Jump, Jump, Jump!

SMILE I like to Smile cause when I Smile It tickles my face, makes me feel good. I like to Smile cause when I Smile I’m happy-go-lucky and it’s understood When I Smile it takes a long while for anything to bring me down So if you’re sad, if you’re feeling bad The worst thing to do is frown. Smile real wide for me Let me know you’re happy inside—let me see Let me see the Smile you get when you eat cotton candy Jump in the water on a beach warm and sandy, Slide down a slide, Swing on a swing, Dance with a friend or just start to sing… What makes you Smile? Tell me what makes you Smile?

I know it’s just One Wish Away Bridge: One little wish upon a star tonight One love wrapped up into this sweet goodnight.

SLEEPYTOWN Quiet now…quiet now heading for Sleepytown. Quiet down…not a sound Here in Sleepytown. Don’t wake the furry dog curled up by the fire He’s chased birds all day long—no wonder why he’s tired. Don’t bother little mouse asleep under the couch He’s been running here and there—all around the house. Quiet now…quiet now heading for Sleepytown. Quiet down…not a sound Here in Sleepytown. Mommy is yawning now, on her way upstairs Hoping for a sweet-dream night, without any cares. Daddy is close behind, shutting off the lights Finally the day is done, time to say goodnight. Quiet now…quiet now heading for Sleepytown. Quiet down…not a sound Here in Sleepytown.
