Lyrics

Let me tell you about my dog Sport
A regular dog, the usual sort
He likes to stay in the house to play
And when he does I just have to say…

Let the dog go out
He can come back later
Let the dog go out
He'll be back sooner or later
Let the dog go out
He can come back later
Dog was made for lying in the shade

One time I took old Sport to the park
He stayed there from morning ‘till dark
Had so much fun, he stayed six days
And that is why I have to say…

Let the dog go out
He can come back later
Let the dog go out
He'll be back sooner or later
Let the dog go out
He can come back later
He'll be happy as a lark if you take him to the park

We were in the back yard when it started to rain
The wind was blowing like a hurricane
The lightning flashed and the thunder growled
Sport just wagged his happy tail and howled
He said, "OOOWWW!" and I said "Let the dog go out!"

On vacation in Florida
We drove the car to the 'gator park
Walked to the gate with my camera
A funny feeling came right over me
I was kind of scared you see

Alligators puff and snore
Ancient cousin of the dinosaur
A hundred teeth in their big long jaws
Powerful feet with alligator claws
I was kind of scared you see

CHORUS:
Alligators greenish brown
Like to sleep with their bellies on the ground
Scare you now and they'll scare you latter
Don't get close to the alligator

Those alligators know every trick
They moovy slow but they bitey quick
They make you think that they're sleeping there
Don't close-beware! beware!

I saw those gators all in a trance
They were doing the gator dance
And I wondered, "what are they thinking?"
They're thinking of dinner
I don't want to be their dinner!

CHORUS

The air is hot and the ground is dry
Nothin' to do here but sit around, sit around
I'll bring my swimming suit, you bring your Bikini
We'll get away from this hot, hot city

CHORUS:
Come on now let's go to the beach
Bring a blanket, lotion for the sun
Come on now let's go to the beach
The beach is the place we always have
Fun, fun, fun!

We'll build a castle in the sand
Feed the sea gulls that fly around
Collect shells in the ocean spray
Jump in the water where the dolphins play

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
There's a cool breeze blowing at the water's edge
It whispers your name
Starfish, jellyfish, coral and whale
Bubbling under the waves

You be a seahorse, Ill be a crab
Beneath the water we'll swim around, swim around
I feel the ocean's mystery
Playing all day in the deep blue sea

Long before they invented instruments
People used to dance and sing
They mimicked the music of the earth
The frogs, the snakes, the bees
The waves and the wind through the trees

They beat on their chests like the bears in the forest
Whistled like the birds in the trees
Now you can clap your hands

The lightning cracks up in the sky
The wind blows through the tree
This is the music of the earth
Come on and sing with me

Beat on your chest like the bear in the forest
Whistle like the bird in the tree
Now you can ...

CHORUS:
Clap your hands everybody
Let your body make music
Clap your hands everybody
Do a little dance and let your body make music

The monkeys howl up in the trees, the whales sing in the sea
All around the campfire light
My friends all sing with me
It could be a sign of things to come
When all of earth's creatures can live as one

CHORUS

I found a little kitten
Played with her for hours
Took her home and found that she had amazing powers

CHORUS:
My cat can fly
My cat can fly
I feed her regular cat chow but
My cat can fly

She likes to chase my kite tail
When its way up high
She chases little birdies
Way up in the sky

CHORUS

I asked my veterinarian
How this could be true
He said, "I know a cat'll drive
But I never knew they flew!

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
She flies around in everybody's face
I think she comes from outer space
She is so cute, and she's always on the go
And my friends say whatever your doing to her
Keep doing it some mo-Joe

Now some cats can really dance they can
They really cut the rug
Some cats can chase a butterfly,
Some cats can eat a bug

But my cat can fly
My cat can fly
I feed her regular cat chow but
My cat can fly

I'm gonna saddle up my horsie
Gonna ride away
Goin' south where the sun shines
Almost every day

Headin' way out west, where the skies are big and blue
I'm gonna ride ride ride
Just like the cowboys do (and the cowgirls too)

I'm gonna take my baths in an old cow tub
When I wash behind my ears I'll need a broom to scrub
And then I'll comb my hair with the toothpick that I chew
And let my fingernails get long
Just like the cowboys do (and the cowgirls too)

I'm gonna buckle up my buckles gonna scruffle up my scruffles
Gonna punch those little doggies and get blisters on my knuckles
Gonna thank my lucky stars when the day is through
That I live way out west
Just like the cowboys do (and the cowgirls too)

CHORUS:
Everything grows from inside out
Finger and toe from the inside grow
From flowers to birds that fly about
Everything grows from inside out

A sparrow lays her egg in the nest
Nature knows how to do the rest
Inside the egg, the baby grows
When will it hatch? Only baby knows

CHORUS

Egg goes crack in the treetop high
Two little eyes peek out at the sky
Baby cheeps, and baby squirms
Here comes mamma with a big fat worm

Worm goes in, and baby grows
From inside out and mamma knows
That someday she'll fly when she's all grown
Someday she'll lay an egg of her own

CHORUS

CHORUS:
Bye bye momma I'll see you later
I got stuck in an elevator!

I was staying in a hotel
I was going up to my room
I stepped into the elevator and I felt it start to go zoom

It went up
It went down

CHORUS

I pushed all the buttons
I made a call on the telephone
I made a call to the repairman
But the repairman wasn't home

It went up
It went down

CHORUS

You've been working so hard
You need a vacation for the day
So I built a little paradise in the back yard
Where the breeze makes the cardboard palm trees sway

The neighbor girls with hula skirts a-flyin'
And the punch is genuine Hawaiian

CHORUS:
Come to Hawaii, come to Hawaii,
Come to Hawaii with me

A wading pool is the clear blue ocean
A sheet for the white Hawaiian sand
Bring your swimming suit in case you get the notion
We'll eat pineapple fresh from the can

And if you close your eyes and dream
You'll be amazed at just how real it seems

CHORUS

We hear our Mama call over the ocean
We know that it's time to come in
She says "supper's ready now get your bodies in motion"
And we know that our trip is at an end

But as we see the sun go down
It casts a tropical hue over our little town

CHORUS

You're just a baby now
Sleeping in your mamas arm
Someday you'll be walking
And talking and running
And wanting to know everything

I know it's going to happen to you
It happened to me

There are birds in the back yard
A crafty cat, and a friendly dog
So much to learn about
A big blue sky
A garden, trees to climb

So much to learn about
But you wont have to learn alone

CHORUS:
Some day I'm gonna hold your little hand
Walk around this great big world

BRIDGE:
There are bugs that bite, flies that light
Moon at night it's a great big world
There are rainy days, sunny days,
Snow and wind and clouds in the sky

You're just a baby now
Swinging from your daddy's arm
Some day you'll wear real clothes
We'll play all day, we'll walk out our front door
Into the mysterious world
Where everything's new again
