Edelweiss, edelweiss Every morning you greet me Small and white, clean and bright You look happy to greet me Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow Bloom and grow forever Edelweiss, edelweiss Bless my homeland forever
Morning has Broken
Morning has broken like the first morning Blackbird has spoken like the first bird Praise for the singing, praise for the morning Praise for them springing fresh from the world
Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlight from heaven
Like the first dewfall on the first grass Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden Sprung in completeness where His feet pass
Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning Born of the one light Eden saw play Praise with elation, praise every morning God's recreation of the new day
Where Have all the Flowers Gone?
Where have all the flowers gone long time passing? Where have all the flowers gone long time ago? Where have all the flowers gone? Young girls picked them everyone When will they ever learn? When will they ever learn?
Where have all the young girls gone? Gone to young men everyone... Where have all the young men gone? Gone to soldiers everyone... Where have all the soldiers gone? Gone to graveyards everyone... Where have all the graveyards gone? Gone to flowers everyone...
You are my Sunshine
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are grey You'll never know, dear, how much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away
The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping I dreamt I held you in my arms When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken So I hung my head and cried

Pajama Song
I wear my pink pajamas in the summer when it's hot I wear my flannel nighty in the winter when it's not But sometimes in the springtime, and sometimes in the fall I jump into my little bed with nothing on at all!
That's the time you ought to see me! That's the time you ought to see me! That's the time you ought to see me! When I jump into my little bed with nothing on at all!

Little Rabbit Fufu
Little Rabbit Fufu Hopping through the forest Scooping up the field mice And bopping 'em on the head
Then down came the good fairy And she said: Little Rabbit Fufu I don't want to see you Scooping up the field mice And bopping 'em on the head
I'll give you three chances And if you don't behave I'll turn you into a goon!
Little Rabbit Fufu Hopping through the forest Scooping up the field mice And bopping 'em on the head
...
Poof! You're a goon! And that just goes to show: Hare today, goon tomorrow!

The other day I met a bear A great big bear A way up there
He looked at me I looked at him He sized up me I sized up him
He said to me "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 There was a tree A great big tree Oh Lordy me!
The nearest branch Was ten feet up I had to jump And trust my luck
And so I jumped Into the air But I missed that branch A way up there
Now, don't you fret Now, don't you frown Because I caught that branch On the way back down
This is the end There ain't no more Unless I meet That bear once more!
And so I met That bear once more But now he's a rug On my bedroom floor
Down by the Bay
Down by the bay Where the watermelons grow Back to my home I dare not go For if I do My mother will say: "Did you ever see a bear with long underwear down by the bay?"
Hello, My Name is Joe

Old Hirem's Goat
Old Hirem's goat Was a-feeling fine Ate three red shirts Right off of the line
Mrs. Murphy, the cook She beat him black And tied him to A rail road track
Singing 'Au revoir' But not goodbye For that old goat Wasn't doomed to die
He coughed and coughed In mortal pain Coughed up those shirts And flagged the train
But the engineer Was colourblind Thought those red shirts Were the go-ahead sign!
