‘I’m Somebody Too’ by Dean Friedman I have a brother, he’s older than me. And he looks like a chimpanzee. He’s not very nice to me. He tells me what to do. Well, he was going to the candy store. And as he opened up the door, I said, “Can I go too?”. And he said, “What for?”. And then right out of the blue, I said, I’m Somebody Too. I’m Somebody Too. I’m O.K. And I’m worthwhile. I’m just as good as you. I’m Somebody Too. Well, it was early on a Saturday. We went outside to play. Everything was A.O.K. Until I lost my shoe. We were sitting on the backyard swing and We started arguing. He said, “You don’t know anything.” And I said, “That isn’t true.” I said, I’m Somebody Too. I’m Somebody Too. I’m O.K. And I’m worthwhile. I’m just as good as you. I’m Somebody Too. Well, we were hungry and it was late. So we went inside, but before we ate, I found my shoe on my plate. Someone put it there. Guess who? My brother spoke as we ate dessert, “I hope your feelings weren’t hurt, you’re really not such a squirt.” I said, “neither are you…” I’m Somebody Too. I’m Somebody Too. I’m O.K. And I’m worthwhile. I’m just as good as you. I’m Somebody Too

Ripe Bananas And Brussel Sprouts by Dean Friedman Ripe Bananas and Brussel Sprouts That’s what my life’s about And to the world I sing and shout: Ripe Bananas and Brussel Sprouts I eat them every day.

Going to School by Dean Friedman I used to think school was a bore. I used to sit at my desk and snore. I didn’t care for my ABC’s. I just tried to catch up on my Z’s. But then one day the principle came. He stood up front and called my name. He said, “Are you Sylvester Jones? And do you play the saxophone?”. I said, “Yes, I am. Those are the facts. And, yes, it’s true I play the sax.” “Well, If you can read music from the score, then you’re the one I’m looking for. You see, next Tuesday at half-past three, there will be a school assembly. And I need someone that can play the school song. So, what do you say?” Well, I did not know what to do. You see, I can play the sax, that’s true. But the words got stuck in my throat ‘cause I can’t read a single note. So, I just kinda nodded my head. “Well, here’s the music,” the principle said. And I was feeling like a fool. So, I waited around ‘til after school. And I went to the teacher and said, “Teacher, please, can you help me out with these?”. So, she sat me down and she explained that all notes have a name. And what you read is the sound you get, like the letters in the alphabet. So, I listened to what she had to say and I studied hard, every day. And somehow the time it seemed to fly. And before I knew it a week went buy. And I took my saxophone to school and I stood up on a stool. And I waited for my teacher’s cue, and into my saxophone I blew. And I knew then I had it made. And everyone liked the way I played. And when the song was all done, I thought, “Gee, that was fun!”. And I turned to my teacher who was smiling and I said, “Thank you for everything!”. And I don’t sleep in class anymore. I pay attention and what’s more, I found out that learning’s cool. And that’s why I like going to school. Going to School!

She said, ‘Son, you’d better understand…” She said,” That Stove Is Hot That Stove Is Hot You’d better not touch that pan or pot That Stove Is Hot Well, the food it was a’cookin’ and a’lookin’ just as good as could be.

Up, Up, Up! 01:14
Up, Up, Up! by Dean Friedman When you climb up a tree, there is so much to see, A far away mountain or a bumblebee. Or a bird in a nest, or a cloud in the sky. But one thing you should never do is climb to high. If you go up, up, up, you can fall down, down, down. And it sure would hurt when you hit the ground. So, when you climb up a tree, take good care ‘cause you see, You’re not a monkey or a chimpanzee, nah… You’re just a kid with a family, So don’t climb to high or you might bump your head and scratch your knee. If you go up, up, up, you can fall down, down, down. And it sure would hurt when you hit the ground. So, whenever you climb, have a wonderful time. It’s real good exercise but keep this mind: Don’t go to high or too far out on a limb – You might fall down and maybe bang your arm or scrape your shin If you go up, up, up, you can fall down, down, down. And it sure would hurt when you hit the ground.

Eeeelectricity by Dean Friedman Don’t put your finger in the wall socket. Keep those fingers in your pocket. ‘Cause if you do, you’ll get a big shock. It’ll be a surprise. It’ll light up your eyes. And you’ll shoot up in the air just like a rocket. ‘Cause, Eeee-lectricity is made for you and me. But you’d better use it safely. Don’t fool around with frayed wires. Frayed wires cause fires. Tell your daddy to get the plyers. ‘Cause one little short, could burn down the fort. And you couldn’t use your toasters or your dryers. ‘Cause, Eeee-lectricity is made for you and me. But you’d better use it safely. Witches, goblins, elfs and giants Don’t use a single electrical appliance. They use magic instead of science, ‘Cause they never learnt about electrical current Or neutrons, protons, electrons and ions. And, Eeee-lectricity is made for you and me. But you’d better use it safely.

Away from the Window by Dean Friedman When you’re riding in the car with your Mom and your Dad. There’s one thing for sure that’s bound to make them mad. If the car is moving and you lean out of the window. They’ll be more than disapproving. That’s a great big no, no. Keep your fingers on your hands. Keep your nose on your face. Keep your arms in the car and keep your head away from the window. If you’re driving down the street with the windows open wide. Keep your toes on your feet and keep your hands inside. Because accidents can happen. The car could lose control. You might hit a bus or a telephone pole. Keep your fingers on your hands. Keep your nose on your face. Keep your arms in the car and keep your head away from the window. So, next time your family goes for a drive, Stay in the car until you arrive. Sitting where you are, you still can feel the wind. So, keep your arms in the car and keep your head away from the window. Keep your fingers on your hands. Keep your nose on your face. Keep your arms in the car and keep your head away from the window.

Walk Straight Home by Dean Friedman Well, this is the story of a boy named Ted. He didn’t listen to what his Mommy said. She said, “Ted, don’t be a fool. Walk straight home when you leave from school.” Ted said, “Hey, I’m 10 years old. I don’t have to do what I am told. I want to play with my good friend Eddie and I’ll go home when I’m good and ready. So, Ted started walking down the street When a strange man he did meet. And the stranger said, “Hey, can I give you a ride? My car’s right here. Just hop inside.” Now this is what Ted should have said: He should have said, “No! And then gone straight home instead. But, Ted was being really dumb. And he climbed inside, When what he should have done was run! Now, Ted’s been missing since that day. Where he’s gone, no one can say. Because people are kind, but some are cruel. So walk straight home when you leave from school. This is the story of a boy named Ted. He didn’t listen to what his Mommy said. She said, “Ted, don’t be a fool. Walk straight home when you leave from school.” Walk straight home when you leave from school.”

Always Cross at the Green Light by Dean Friedman Whenever you have to cross the street, Use your eyes, not just your feet. Look to the left, look to the right And always cross at the green light. ‘Cause if you cross when the light is red, You might not make it across, instead, You might get hit by a bus or car. So, remember this, whoever you are. Whenever you have to cross the street, Use your eyes, not just your feet. Look to the left, look to the right And always cross at the green light.

Bubble, Bubble, Bubble by Dean Friedman When I come inside from play I can hear my mama say, “How’d you get so full of mud? Covered in a crust of crud. March into the bathroom, Bub, And climb into the tub, for a… Bubble, Bubble, Bubble, Bubble, Bubble, Bubble, Bubble, Bubble, Bubble, Bath. Take a Bubble, Bubble, Bubble, Bubble, Bubble, Bubble, Bubble, Bubble, Bubble, Bubble, Bubble, Bath. When you take a bubble bath, It is bound to make you laugh. Put some bubbles on your nose, Bubble feet, bubble toes, Bubble hands and bubble hair. A billion bubbles everywhere! Take a… Bubble, Bubble, Bubble… Splash those bubbles all around I love those bubble popping sounds Bubbles make you really clean, Cleaner than you’ve ever seen. They wash the dirt and grime away And this is why I say, take a… Bubble, Bubble, Bubble, Bubble, Bubble, Bubble, Bubble, Bubble, Bubble, Bath. Take a Bubble, Bubble, Bubble, Bubble, Bubble, Bubble, Bubble, Bubble, Bubble, Bubble, Bubble, Bath.

I'm Taking a Shower by Dean Friedman I'm Taking a Shower, I'm Taking a Shower I’m gonna wash away the grunge and the grime. I'm Taking a Shower, I'm Taking a Shower And I’m having a wonderful time! I’m gonna be squeaky clean. I’ll be the squeakiest, cleanest kid you’ve ever seen. It’s just like standing outside in the rain. I’m gonna wash that dirt right down the drain. I'm Taking a Shower, I'm Taking a Shower I’m gonna wash away the grunge and the grime. I'm Taking a Shower, I'm Taking a Shower And I’m having a wonderful time! First you wash and then you scrub. Then you rinse and then your rub. Then you shake and then you dry. Just don’t get soap in your eye. I'm Taking a Shower, I'm Taking a Shower I’m gonna wash away the grunge and the grime. I'm Taking a Shower, I'm Taking a Shower And I’m having a wonderful time! Close the curtain, don’t forget. Or you’ll get the bathroom floor soaking wet. It’s just like standing in a waterfall. The shower’s so much fun, I’m having myself a ball. I'm Taking a Shower, I'm Taking a Shower I’m gonna wash away the grunge and the grime. I'm Taking a Shower, I'm Taking a Shower And I’m having a wonderful time!

It’s Early in the Morning by Dean Friedman It’s Early in the Morning. I just got outa bed. And though I am still yawning, I’ll do what Mommy said. She said, “Brush your hair. And comb your teeth. Do the ones on the top and the side and underneath. Wiggle your eyes. And blink your ears. Clap your feet! And give three cheers!” It’s Early in the Morning. I just got outa bed. And though I am still yawning, I’ll do what Mommy said. She said, “Butter your juice. And drink your toast. Make sure the upper-side’s down and the bottom-side’s uppermost. Sip your pancakes through a straw. Put the bacon in the freezer to thaw.” It’s Early in the Morning. I just got outa bed. And though I am still yawning, I’ll do what Mommy said. She said, “Tie your shoes around your head. Don’t forget – mess up your bed. Pull your socks… over your ears. I’ve been getting dressed this way for years.” It’s Early in the Morning. I just got outa bed. And though I am still yawning, I’ll do what Mommy said.

My Little Toy Boat by Dean Friedman When it’s time to climb into the tub, I like to float my little toy boat, while I wash and scrub. Oh… My Little Toy Boat. My Little Toy Boat. My Little Toy Boat. My Little Toy Boat. My Little Toy Boat. My Little Toy Boat. I love to float my little toy boat. The water rocks my toy boat to and fro. And when I want to make it go, I give a little push with my big toe! My Little Toy Boat. My Little Toy Boat. My Little Toy Boat. My Little Toy Boat. My Little Toy Boat. My Little Toy Boat. I love to float my little toy boat. If I blow real hard it makes a breeze. And then I watch my little toy boat sail around my knees. My Little Toy Boat. My Little Toy Boat. My Little Toy Boat. My Little Toy Boat. My Little Toy Boat. My Little Toy Boat. I love to float my little toy boat. When I’m feeling very, very brave, I splash and splash and splash some more and make a giant tidal wave. My Little Toy Boat. My Little Toy Boat. My Little Toy Boat. My Little Toy Boat. My Little Toy Boat. My Little Toy Boat. I love to float my little toy boat. When Mommy pulls the plug out of the drain, My little toy boat spins round and round, just like in a hurricaine. My Little Toy Boat. My Little Toy Boat. My Little Toy Boat. My Little Toy Boat. My Little Toy Boat. My Little Toy Boat. I love to float my little toy boat. My Mommy dries me off when I am done. When I can play with my little toy boat, taking a bath is so much fun! My Little Toy Boat. My Little Toy Boat. My Little Toy Boat. My Little Toy Boat. My Little Toy Boat. My Little Toy Boat. I love to float my little toy boat.

Dreamland 03:12
Dreamland by Dean Friedman Take off your shoes and socks and put them on the floor. Take your clothes and hang them on your closet door. Put your pajamas on and climb beneath the sheets. You’re going to a place that’s filled with toys and lots of sweets. In Dreamland, life is but a carousel. In Dreamland, everybody treats you well. In Dreamland, no harm will ever come to you. Love is pure and hearts are true. The angels will watch over you. Close your eyes and you will soon be on your way. It’s a hundred million miles beyond the Milky Way. Just like a shooting star, you’ll sail across the sky. It won’t take long, you’ll be there in the blinking of an eye. In Dreamland, the trees are filled with lollipops. In Dreamland, the streets are paved with lemondrops. In Dreamland, you can drink a whole vanilla shake, Eat a chocolate birthday cake and never get a belly ache. When you are weary and have had a busy day. When the sun goes down, the stars come out to play. There is a special place you can journey to. Where you can fly a kite or ride a talking kangaroo. In Dreamland, hear the sounds of angel’s choirs. In Dreamland, have anything your heart desires. In Dreamland, all the rooms are filled with toys And laughing sounds and giggling noise of happy, smiling girls and boys. In Dreamland.

Everyone’s Gone To Bed (Except You) by Dean Friedman The sun has gone to bed. The moon shines overhead. Everyone’s gone to bed, except you. The flowers have gone to bed. The trees have gone to bed. Everyone’s gone to bed, except you. Now, I’m turning out the light. It’s time to say, ‘goodnight.’ Everyone’s gone to bed, except you. The squirrels have gone to bed. The groundhog’s gone to bed. Everyone’s gone to bed, except you. The birds have gone to bed. The bees have gone to bed. Everyone’s gone to bed, except you. So, I’m turning out the light. It’s time to say, ‘goodnight.’ Everyone’s gone to bed, except you. Grandpa’s gone to bed. So’s your best friend Fred. Everyone’s gone to bed, except you. The whole world’s gone to bed. Except one sleepy head. Everyone’s gone to bed, except you. Now, I’m turning out the light. It’s time to say, ‘goodnight.’ Everyone’s gone to bed… … including you.

Oo, Oo, Hugabye by Dean Friedman Oo, Oo, Hugabye I’m a little baby. Sing me a lullaby ‘cause I’m a little baby. I don’t want to go to work, I don’t want a job. Just to make a dollar or a couple of bob. I just want to hang around all day long. And all I want you to do is sing me a song. Oo, Oo, Hugabye I’m a little baby. Sing me a lullaby ‘cause I’m a little baby. I don’t want to go to work, I don’t want a job. Just to make a dollar or a couple of bob. I just want to hang around all day long. And all I want you to do is sing me a song. Oo, Oo, Hugabye I’m a little baby.

Dreamtime by Dean Friedman It’s Dreamtime. It’s Dreamtime. It’s strawberries and whipped cream time. It’s man-in-the-moon beam time. It’s gently-down-the-stream time. It’s Sleeptime. It’s Sleeptime. It’s better count your sheep time. It’s don’t you make a peep time. It’s now your soul to keep time. It’s time for you to go to sleep And fall into a slumber deep. It’s Bedtime. It’s Bedtime. It’s rest your sleepy head time. It’s you better do what I said time It’s no more books will be read time. It’s time for you to go to sleep And fall into a slumber deep.
