Lyrics

Everybody Plays Air Guitar

stand up straight put your legs like an “A”
if you feel trouble, shake it away
left arm out, straight from your heart
and let your right arm dangle like your falling apart
wiggle your hip, and bite your bottom lip
and play the air guitar

air guitar, air guitar
everybody plays air guitar...
wiggle your hip and bite your bottom lip
and play the air guitar

sophisticated, wild or hoakie
the favorite instrument of karaoke
basketball players after a dunk
your great old uncle who used to be a punk
hipster rads, balding dads
they play the air guitar

air guitar, air guitar
everybody plays air guitar...
all night long to your favorite song
you play the air guitar

air guitar makes you happy if you give it a chance
it gives you something to do with your hands when you get up and dance
(get up and dance. whooo. aaahhh.)
it’s great if your sad, that’s no doubt
‘cause you always feel happy when you’re rocking out
Mom’s even do it when they’re having fun
when they hear a song from when they were young
stop that bummin’, and start that strummin’ on your air guitar

yeah, yeah, you play the air guitar, air guitar
everybody plays air guitar...
stop that bummin’, and start that strummin’ on your air guitar
(yeah, start strummin’ on your air guitar

air guitar, air guitar
everybody plays air guitar
air guitar, air guitar
bob your head and shake your hair guitar
all night long to your favorite song,
you play the air guitar

Sport Comes to the Rescue
one time I was carrying a heavy box from the car up to the door
and Sport was playing with all his friends,
and he wanted to play some more,
but he saw that I needed help, and he came right up to see
he put his paw up on that latch and he opened that door for me
that’s why I say

Sport comes to the rescue
yeah, he helps me everyday
Sport comes to the rescue, where another dog might run away
yeah, that old Sport, he’s right on the spot
he sticks with me when things get hot
Sport comes to the rescue...

now, one time I was walking down the street
and guess what I did see
well, I saw a baby cat and he was stuck way up in a tree
well, I looked around, and I whistled for Sport
he came right up to see
he climbed up to the highest branch and he saved that little kitty

Sport comes to the rescue
yeah, he helps me everyday
Sport comes to the rescue
where another dog might run away
yeah, that old Sport, he’s right on the spot
he sticks with me when other dogs might not
Sport comes to the rescue
(he’s kind of a hero!)

one time, I was dreaming in my bed and it was very late at night
I started to twitch, I started to turn, and I woke up in a fright
I dreamt of a monster, mwaaah, that had come to eat me up
(Sport, help!)
well, I stood on my bed, and whistled like this, and in came my little pup
and it’s why I say

Sport comes to the rescue
he helps me everyday, Sport comes to the rescue
when another dog, well, another dog might just run away
that old Sport, he’s right on the spot, he sticks with me when things get hot

Sport comes to the rescue...
Our Family Car Is A Helicopter
Our car has no wheels, but it goes pretty fast
it doesn’t drive on the street
it flies through the air
we park it on the roof, way above the trees
and when we turn the engine on, it makes a pretty good breeze

our family car is a helicopter, up where the view is good
our family car is a helicopter, high above the neighborhood
up, up, up...
Up to where the air is clear, we go up, up, up...

When Mom sends us off to school, she says, take your books and hat,
and don’t forget your parachute, in case we have to drop you off
at drive-ins we make a scene
we climb down a ladder to place our order,
while dad lowers the money down on a string

our family car is a helicopter, up where the view is good
our family car is a helicopter, high above the neighborhood
up, up, up...
Up to where the air is clear, we go up, up, up...
flying in our helicopter car

Now you might thinks it kind of strange, but tell your parents they try it
no traffic here, and no tires to change, the highway is the sky
over trees and through the clouds
go test fly one, you might buy one, and say

our family car is a helicopter, up where the view is good
our family car is a helicopter, high above the neighborhood
up, up, up...
Up to where the air is clear, we go up, up, up...
flying in our helicopter car
fly high
Momma’s Gonna Have a Baby
Mom and dad picked me up from school and said,
we have some news for you
you’ve been making some wishes lately, and one of them just came true
you know your Mom loves you, and your Pa loves you,
and that will never change, but there’s gonna be a new kid in the family now
and this what we’re trying to say,

Momma’s gonna have a baby...
she is, and I don’t I mean maybe
Momma’s gonna have a baby

they said, things will be a little different
you’ll need to help us with the little one
I said, I don’t mind, I’m older now, and I think it will be fun
I can help you cook, I can help you shop, and even help you clean
I’ll even change the diaper of the built in best friend made for me

Momma’s gonna have a baby...
she is, and I don’t I mean maybe
Momma’s gonna have a baby

and I’m gonna teach him how to talk,
or I’m gonna teach her how to walk,
and I’m gonna give him his first ice cream,
or I’m gonna teach her what the big words mean,
and I’m gonna be the best big brother of all

now, things sure are different, Mom and Dad got it right
there’s so much to do with the baby, and we don’t get much sleep at night
I sure love my baby sister, and I’m sure she loves too,
but I sure hope they wait, wait a long time before they say,

Momma’s gonna have a baby
not again, Momma’s gonna have a baby
yeah, again, and I don’t mean maybe
Momma’s gonna have a baby
Ride, Ride, Ride
Oh, you have a horse and I have a saddle,
We’ll go together and ride
Oh, you have a horse and I have a saddle,
We’ll go together and ride, ride, ride.

Ride, ride, ride all around the town,
Ride, ride, ride til the sun goes down.
Oh, you have a horse and I have a saddle,
We’ll go together and ride, ride, ride.

(Oh, let’s ride a motorcycle. Vrooom. Vrooom.)

Oh, you have a motorcycle, and I have a big street,
We’ll go together and ride
Oh, you have a motorcycle, and I have a big street,
We’ll go together and ride, ride, ride.

Ride, ride, ride, til the sun goes down.

Oh, you have a motorcycle, and I have a big street,
We’ll go together and ride, ride, ride .
Oh, you have a pig, and I have a pig saddle,
We’ll go together and ride.
Oh, you have a pig, and I have a pig saddle,
We’ll go together and ride, ride, ride.

Ride your pig all around the town,
Ride your pig til the sun goes down.
Ride your pig til your piggy finds a mud puddle.

Then the sun goes down.

Oh you have a pig, and I have a pig saddle,
We’ll go together and ride, ride, ride.

Oh, you have a porcupine, I have a Band-Aid.

Well, we’ll go together and ouch.

Dolphins
Well, I’m gonna build a great big boat out in my backyard.
I’m gonna put in my wagon and carry it to the sea.
I’m gonna take enough food to last at least three years.
Some Hemingway in case I want to read.
I’m gonna visit friends that I haven’t met,
That I’ve read about in books and seen on TV.
I’m gonna be just like Cousteau, goin’ with the flow.
I’m gonna visit all the dolphins in the deep blue sea.
Dolphins, dolphins. I’m friends with all the dolphins.
Friends with all the dolphins in the sea.
Yeah, they all know my name, and I love them all the same.
I’m friends with all the dolphins in the deep blue sea.

Although my life is unhurried, my AFLAC agent worries,
That someday, my boat will turn and sink,
But that’s such a silly notion, cause I have friends in the ocean,
And that’s all the coverage this sailor needs.

Dolphins, dolphins. I’m friends with all the dolphins.
I’m friends with all the dolphins in the sea.
Yeah they all know my name, and I love them all the same.
I’m friends with all the dolphins in the deep blue sea.

Now, I sure would like to see ya’ down in Monkey-mia,
Where the dolphins swim right up to play with children in the waves.
Like lands ambassador, we’ll play there on the shore,
And visit all the dolphins in the deep blue sea.
Dolphins, dolphins. I’m friends with all the dolphins.
Friends with all the dolphins in the sea.
Yeah, they all know my name, and I love them all the same.
I’m friends with all the dolphins in the deep blue sea.
In the deep blue sea. In the deep blue sea, sea, sea...
Spider Magic
Who taught the spider how to crawl and spin a web with a strand?
And who taught her how to build it so strong?
And who told the fly where to land?

Nobody. It’s spider magic, and nobody knows.

Who taught the kangaroos how to hop and live together in the sun?
And who taught the Momma to check her pouch,
And make sure she has her own joey?

It’s kangaroo magic, and nobody knows.
Nobody knows but kangaroos.
And I’m so glad they know. Yeah, I’m so glad they know.

Inside an egg, there’s a blue bird waiting to fly in the sky,
Waiting for the sun, that waits for the earth to spin ‘round and down
On the ground, little spider spins ‘round and ‘round again.

Who taught the Momma how to love, and take care of little babe?
And where do those silly games come from,
That keep them both laughing all day?
It’s human magic, and nobody knows.
Nobody knows, but us.
And I’m so glad we know. Yeah I’m so glad we know.
(I've Been) Working On The Railroad
Well, I got this morning before the sun,
And I put my blue engineers cap on.
I got on the biggest train around. Choo-choo-choo.
And I drove that train to another town. Yes, I did.
I’ve been work, work, work, workin’,
I’ve been workin’ on the railroad...
< (repeat three times)

Now, sometimes I move fast, sometimes slow.
I’ve been workin’, I’ve been workin’,
A puff of smoke, and away we go.
Chugga-chugga-chugga whoo.
Past trees, and rivers, and mountains with snow,
You know, I’ve been every place that a train can go.
(Go, man, go.)
Here I go.
I’ve been work, work, work, workin’,
I’ve been workin’ on the railroad...

Oh, come on. You saw me out there drivin’ that train.
I was going chugga-chugga-chugga-chugga-chugga-chug.
Chugga-chugga-chugga-chuggity-chuggity-chug.
I was sayin’ “ALL ABOARD!”
Chugga-chugga-chugga-chuggity-chuggity-chug.
I was blowing my whistle, clanging my bell.
Chug-chug-chug-woo-woo.
With songs to sing and stories to tell.
I’ve been work, work, work, workin’,
I’ve been workin’ on the railroad...

Let’s go chug...
Choo-choo-choo-choo-chugga-lugga-lugga-woo-woo.
Work, work.
Well, I’ve been work, work, work, workin’,
I’ve been workin’ on the railroad....
Roller Coaster
On my seventh birthday, I grew forty-two...inches tall,
But that’s not all ‘cause all that spring I grew.
Now I’m as tall as I must be to be at least this tall.
Roller coaster, gonna ride you after all.

At a little tiny park, where I lived when I was two,
I used to ride a roller coaster called whoopdie-doo. Woo-hoo.
At it’s highest point, it was three feet off the ground,
And every single Saturday we rode ‘round and ‘round.
But, now I’m ready for a higher ride, high above the trees,
And into the sky where the airplanes fly

Roller coaster, gonna ride you to the sky, back to the ground,
Sideways, and backwards, and upside down.
I walk up to the gate and I put my money down.
I buckle up my seatbelt, then I look around.
You can almost hear the beating of our hearts.
Everybody cheers when the roller coaster starts.
Up above the people, up above the roofs.
High above the trees, into the sky where the birds all fly.
Roller coaster, gonna rider you to the sky, and right back down,
Sideways, and backwards, and upside down.

Hey, everybody here comes the roller coaster,
Let’s get on the roller coaster, and ride, ride, ride.
Buckle up your seatbelts, we’re going high, high, high.
I see clouds, oh-no, I see birds, oh-no, I see airplanes, LET’S GO! Woah!

Some people like the merry-go-round,
And ferris-wheels that go ‘round and ‘round,
But I like to go where it’s fast and high.
Roller coaster, gonna ride you to the sky, and right back down
Sideways, and backwards, and upside down.
Let’s go again.
Anything Is Possible
We could be two astronauts, flying into space in a rocket made just for us.
We would call our rocket home,
And around the starry skies together we would fly.
We could be two astronauts, me and you.

Anything is possible.
Anything is possible, whenever we think of all that we could be.

We could be explorers roaming around the earth,
Finding places no one’s ever seen.
Exploring everyday, and every night we would sleep under the stars.
We could be explorers, me and you.

Anything is possible.
Anything is possible, whenever we think of all that we could be.

Take a look at the world, and think of what we can do together.
Yeah, a boy and a girl.
And think of what we can do together.
Almost anything together.

We could be two zoo keepers, working at the zoo.
Taking care of the animals all day.
We would treat the animals just fine,
And we’d make sure their babies went to bed on time. (Eight o’clock.)
We could be two keepers in the zoo.
Anything is possible.
Yeah, anything is possible, whenever we think of all that we could be.

Climb a mountain, fly a plane,
Anything is possible,
Yeah, anything is possible, whenever we think of all that we could be.
You know it’s possible.
Yeah, anything is possible.
Yeah, anything is possible, whenever we think of all that we could be.
