Barges
Out of my window looking in thenight,I can see the barges’ flickering light.Silently flows the river to the sea,And the barges do go silently.
Barges, I would like to go with you,I would like to sail the ocean blue,Barges, have you treasures in your hold?Do you fight with pirates brave and bold?
Out of my window looking in thenight,I can see the barges’ flickering light.Starboard shines green and port isglowing red,I can see the barges far ahead.
Chorus
Out of my window looking in thenight,I can see the barges flickering light.How my heart longs to sail away withyouAs you sail across the ocean blue
Chorus
Out of my window looking in thenight,I can see the barges flickering light.But I must sit beside my windowDearAnd watch you sail away from here.
Chorus

The Hippo Song
What can make a hippopotamussmile?What can make him run for over amile?It’s not the party with the paper hatsIt’s not the candy that makes him fatThat’s not what hippos doThey… ooze through the goozewithout any shoesThey wade through the water ‘til theirlips turn blueCause that’s what hippo’s do!
What can make a hippopotamussmile?What can make him run for over amile?It’s not the tune on the old violinIt’s not the sound of the whistlingwindThat’s not what hippos doThey… ooze through the goozewithout any shoesThat’s what hippos, yes that’s whathippos, that’s what hippos do.

Kookaburra
Kookaburra sits On the old gum treeMerry merry king Of the bush is heLaugh! Kookaburra, laugh!Gay your life must be!
The Littlest Worm
The littlest worm, I ever saw,Was stuck inside,My soda straw.The littlest worm I ever saw, was stuck inside my soda straw!
He said to me, Don’t take a sip,For if you do, I’ll surely slip,He said to me don’t take a sip, for if you do I’ll surely slip
I took a sip, And he went down,All through my pipes, He surely drowned.I took a sip and he went down, right through my pipes he surely drowned.
I burped him up, And he was deadI buried him,In my teacher’s bedI burped him up and he was dead, I buried him in my teacher’s bed
The morale of,This little tale,If you see a worm, Do not inhale!The morale of this little tale, if you see a worm do not inhale!
This is the end,There is no more,So what are we,Still singing for?This is the end, there is no more! So what are we still singing for?

Magic
Magic is the sun that makes the rainbow out of rain.And magic keeps the dream alive to try, try again.Magic is the love that stays when good friends have to leave.I do believe in magic, I believe.
When I was young I thought the stars were made for wishing on.And every hole deep in a tree must hide a leprechaun.Old houses all had secret rooms, if one could find the key.I do believe in magic, I believe.
Chorus
Growing up the grown ups said someday I’d wake to find,that magic was a childhood game I’d have to leave behind.Like clothes that would no longer fit, or toys that I’d ignored.I’d not believe in magic anymore.
Chorus
When I grew up I learned again that, much to my surprise,the magic did not fade away it took a new disguise.A child, a friend, a smile a song, the courage to stand tall.I do believe in magic, after all.
Chorus
Magic is the sun that makes the rainbow out of rain.And magic keeps the dream alive to try, try again.Magic is the love that stays when good friends have to leave.I do believe in magic, For love’s the greatest magic,I do believe in magic, I believe.

Moon on the Meadow
Moon on the meadow, bugs in ourearsSmoke in our eyes, wet wood andtearsUp on the meadow, watersomewhereWe were the only ones there.
Wild horse and slushy, dry lakes thepeaksFinding the love there that everyoneseeksHiking to rainbows, sunsets and starsJust finding out who we are
We will return there one lucky dayOur hearts will guide us, they knowthe wayPeople in cities can't understandFalling in love with the land
Moon on the meadow, bugs in ourearsSmoke in our eyes, wet wood andtears.

On The Loose
On the loose to climb a mountainOn the loose where I am freeOn the loose to live my lifeThe way I think my life should be.For I've only got a momentAnd the whole world yet to seeI'll be looking for tomorrow on the loose.
Have you ever watched the sunriseTurn the sky completely red?Have you slept beneath the moonand starsA pine bough for your bed?Do you sit and talk with friendsThough a word is never said?Then you're just like me andYou've been on the loose.
Chorus
There's a trail that I've been hikingJust to see where it may goMany places yet to visitMany people yet to knowSo in following my dreamsI will live and I will growOn a trail that's waitingOut there on the loose.
Chorus
So in search of love and laughterI'll be traveling ‘cross this landNever sure of where I'm goingFor I haven't any plans.So in time when you are readyCome and join me, take my hand,And together we'll share lifeOut on the loose

Shooting Star
Please won't you catch a shootingstar for me,And take it with you on your wayThough it seems that we've just met,you're the one I won't forgetHope some kind wind blows youback my way
And I was thinking maybe somewhere laterdown the roadAfter all our stories have been toldI'd sit and think of you, a dear friend I onceknewShot through my life like a shooting star
You are so dear, you're my light andshining starYou brighten each and every dayYou are so near, but soon you'll be so farSo why not hold my hand today.

Sometimes I know that a part of youwill showDeep in my heart and in my smileThere will always be a part of youdeep inside my heartAnd I'll know just when to let it show

What can make a hippopotamus smile?
What can make a hippopotamus smile?What can make her walk for more than a mile?
It’s not a party with a paper hat.It’s not a cake and candy that can make him fatThat’s not what hippos do!
They oose-to-the-gooose whithout any shoes They swim through the water ‘til their lips turn blue.That’s what hippos do!
What can make a hippopotamus smile?What can make her walk for more than a mile?
