There's a place far away amongst the darkest trees
wolves and bears foxes mink and deer
a little house inside a family here
With Ma and Pa keeping the children near and the animals in the clear
'Cause it's the little house in the big, big wood
where they work all day, laugh and play in the grass and the trees and the snow there's no where to go for miles and miles except for my home sweet home because we live in the little house in the big big wood
In the day Pa goes hunting with his big black gun
for fish and bears even venison
skins and salts the meat for later on even smokes it for the winter long
when the leaves have turned and gone
'Cause it's the little house in the big, big wood
where they work all day, laugh and play in the grass and the trees and the snow there's no where to go for miles and miles except for my home sweet home because we live in the little house in the big big wood
On Sundays the day is long because there's resting church and song
don't forget butter making too when we churn and churn and churn it through colour it with carrot juice it's true
'Cause it's the little house in the big, big wood
where they work all day, laugh and play in the grass and the trees and the snow there's no where to go for miles and miles except for my home sweet home because we live in the little house in the big big wood (2x)

Food Chain Blues
04:07
|

Well I'm a mouse I feed on things in the ground
the one thing I tell you I've got the worst luck to be found
See I'm at the bottom of this thing called a food chain
And I don't eat unless the plants in the ground get rain
So let me tell you now....
I've got the food chain, food chain, food chain blues (2x)
no matter which way you put it the only course I'm in is the main
oh, oh , oh, oh
In the forest I have some enemies the owl, snake, and wild cat when they're hungry they come looking for me
see that wild cat, he likes that rabbit too (yeah that fuzzy little hoppity thang) and the jackal will come running and I tell you not to say, "How do you do"
But nobody's got it like me.....
I've got the food chain, food chain, food chain blues (2x)
no matter which way you put it the only course I'm in is the main
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Well, that lion at the top, he's got it made
he walks, pounces, and he preys all day
I tell you now, that cat's got nothing on me
'cause I'm at the bottom of the food chain....the food chain...oh
I've got the food chain, food chain, food chain blues (2x)
no matter which way you put it the only course I'm in is the main
Well I'm at the bottom this mouse has a problem no matter which way that you look at it but I've gotta keep movie' I've gotta keep grooving' in this big old forest no matter who is the best better than all the rest even how small I am there is a bigger plan I know in this big old food chain...oh, oh , oh, oh
food chain blues...I've got the food chain blues...oh, oh, oh oh....
Mouse is OUT.

Bones Bones Bones

Bones Bones Bones
I feel it, feel it, feel it in my Bones Bones Bones (2x)
One last verse brings us to the end of the song
tarsals and meta-tarsals help to keep my feet walk along

I Love Canada
04:48
|

There are many ways to describe this country that we live in
provinces, great lakes, territories and the regions
some stay warm and let's face it some get really cold
'cause in the winter we get tons and tons of heavy snow
that's the one thing that I love about Canada get every season that is posted on the calendar
Well let me tell you 'bout the red and white
don't worry I won't take up your hockey night
We got Ontario, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, Newfoundland and Labrador, PEI, Quebec and there's more Nunavut, BC, Yukon, Manitoba, North West Territories, New Brunswick, and Alberta
Start with the west where we get lumber to build all our homes
Alberta beef is triple A from all the cows that roam
oil gets serviced right in Edmonton capital city and a hub for distribution
Saskatchewan and Manitoba are really flat but we need it for the wheat to grow and that is that!
Well let me tell you 'bout the red and white
don't worry I won't take up your hockey night
We got Ontario, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, Newfoundland and Labrador, PEI, Quebec and there's more Nunavut, BC, Yukon, Manitoba, North West Territories, New Brunswick, and Alberta
Canada's the greatest place to be
true patriot love it is for me
remember our true north strong and free, we come far and wide with differences but we are one you see
Farmer's grow produce in Quebec and in Ontario
Quebec speaks mostly french just incase you didn't know
New Brunswick is also highly bilingual they're known for energy and also all the paper mills keep going East you find music, fish and mines
and way up North is gold, petroleum and diamonds
Well let me tell you 'bout the red and white
don't worry I won't take up your hockey night
We got Ontario, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, Newfoundland and Labrador, PEI, Quebec and there's more Nunavut, BC, Yukon, Manitoba, North West Territories, New Brunswick
Well let me tell you 'bout the red and white
don't worry I won't take up your hockey night
We got Ontario, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, Newfoundland and Labrador, PEI, Quebec and there's more Nunavut, BC, Yukon, Manitoba, North West Territories, New Brunswick, and Alberta
Oh Canada.....I Love Canada......I LOVE CANADA!

Well Egypt has a history long long ago and the man at the top they called him Pharaoh
He lived like a king all day long and spoke with the gods so nothing would go wrong
had dynasties, kingdoms old and new
recorded in hieroglyphics for me and you
temples, tombs and pyramids were made of stone to house the spirits of the gods so they wouldn't be alone
CHORUS: Listen up listen up y'all we gotta learn about Egyptian civilization
gotta write, gotta read, gotta speak, gotta step up our communication
scribes, peasants, architects, teachers are all part of this population
if you haven't guessed y'all it takes place in the time of the Pharaoh
Oh oh oh oh in the time of the Pharaoh oh oh oh oh oh oh (2nd and 3rd chorus)
V2: Now we're familiar with King Tut because of all his riches found inside his tomb that were
buried with him
His tomb was found by a man in '22 and now he is known by folks like me and you
Cleopatra her fate we know it wasn't great her death was tragic not by magic but a choice that
she made
People will say that her day wasn't grey 'cause she was powerful in different kinds of ways
Bridge: Listen up! Listen up! You see
All part of our history
Where we came from where we're going to just something we have to do
You might wonder how it's relevant
To your life and to all your friends
But it's important to know where we're all going where it came from and how it's all showin' so
Keep on walkin keep on walkin from here
I hope by now it's a bit more clear where we learned to teach, build even heal
C'mon take it from here.....
CHORUS
Outro: Listen up listen up y'all we gotta learn about egyptian civilization gotta write gotta read
gotta speak gotta step up our communication
scribes peasants architects teachers are all part of this population if you haven't guessed y'all it takes place in the time of the Pharaoh Oh oh oh in the time of the Pharaoh oh oh oh oh oh.....

Living Things
04:00
|
|||
There are many great things in life you see
Things alive just like you and me
Trees plants and animals in our country
Even on my dog that silly flea
If you take the time to look around
just to see what it is that we have found
CHORUS: Not a rock or a car that my Dad drives
Or the house I live in or the bike I ride
But me and you and all of your friends too
All of your friends too
Just the other day when I went swimming
I saw a scary looking fin so then I began to scream and shout
but it was just a tiny little trout
So these living things are not just on land
but in the water swimming as fast as they can
CHORUS
Later on that day I went for a walk
something up above me started squawking
so then I looked up into the air
then a bird pooped right into my hair
So next time that you go outside
watch out! 'Cause these living things are
even in the sky!
CHORUS (2x)

Intro chorus: To feel the beat, feel the beat, feel the beat
you gotta clap and stomp your feet (4x)
This thing called music it's a great part of this world
it's gonna move you if you're a boy or girl
with rhythms notes and dynamics too
you gotta start out with a grand staff, a little treble and bass clef I might add now let your imagination wild with notes
CHORUS: To feel the beat, feel the beat, feel the beat, you gotta clap and stomp your feet (2x)
So many notes oh where do you start
quarter, eighth, sixteenth it's a piece of art
fill em in with tempo fast and slow
colour phrases with ABCDEFG well any combination sounds so good to me
just make sure have melody and harmony oh!
Chorus
(OH!) Oh time it's an important part of music
(OH!) pick a line you can make it sound however you want to
whatever's in your heart you can make a part, just follow where the beat goes you can tap your toes!
Bridge Rap: So when you living on top of the property probably living the novelty I'd probably giving the who'd ever, whatever's, thinking you'd feed off energy from your friends use the the music as inspiration have a heck of kind just distinguish the message and hang until it's invasive just....
