Baa Baa Black Sheep

Baa baa black sheep have you any wool
Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full
One for my master and one for my dame
One for the little boy who lives down the lane
Baa baa black sheep have you any wool
Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full

Snip

Barber, barber shave a pig
How many hairs to make a wig?
Four and twenty, that's enough
To give the barber a pinch of snuff

Shave that pig

Barber you think you're doin' fine
But you'd better think twice before you touch that swine
'Cause if you were the pig and the pig were you
She might just wanna make barber stew!

 

Beanstock
(c)2000 All Together Now Entertainment Inc.
Words and Music by Judy and David Gershon

Life and love and peace and freedom
Joy, hope and harmony
Life and love and peace and freedom
And beans.

Tell me, do you know what can happen
When you decide to be free
From the giants in the clouds, from the tyranny
Starts with a small idea like a tiny magic bean
Then it grows up into the heavens
Higher than you’d ever dreamed

Life and love and peace and freedom
Joy, hope and harmony
Life and love and peace and freedom
And beans

Be a Snake
(c)1996 All Together Now Entertainment Inc.
Words and Music by Judy and David Gershon

Momma says I'm a wild one
And I keep her on her toes
I'm movin' like a groovin' little animal
And when I stop, nobody knows

I'll be a snake and shake and slither to the music
Be a spider and slide your body cross the floor
Be a spunky kinda monkey, climbin' high up in the branches
A see-you-later alligator, walkin' out the door

I'm a beast from the deep of the jungle
I'm a creature from the bottom of the sea
I'm a sewer rat, I'm a mountain cat
Why don't you come, why don't you come on the prowl with me?

Be Your Friend
(c)1999 All Together Now Entertainment Inc.
Words and Music by Judy and David Gershon

I would really love to be your friend
And you could be a friend of mine
We'd be together in the sun and in the rain
Together till the end of time
Yes you could be a friend of mine

We could go walkin you and I
We don't need a place to go
I'd take your hand and put it in mine
'Cause I would really like you to know

That I would really love to be your friend...

We could be talkin' you and I
I could whisper in your ear
So close your eyes and open your heart
I've got a secret for you to hear

I would really love to be your friend...

These are the ties that bind (You could be a friend of mine)
Til the end of time (You could be a friend of mine)
Long as the sun will shine (You could be a friend of mine)
I'd be your friend(I'd be your friend) and you would be mine

I would really love to...

 

The Bear Went Over the Mountain
(c)1992, Adapted by Judy and David Gershon (SOCAN)

The bear went over the mountain (3x)
To see what he could see
And all that he could see (2x)
Was the other side of the mountain
The other side of the mountain
The other side of the mountain was all that he could see

The bear went through forest...

The bear went over the river...

The bear tried on my glasses (3x)
To see what he could see
And all that he could see (2x)
Was that a bear shouldn't wear glasses
A bear shouldn't wear glasses
A bear shouldn't wear glasses was all that he could see

Big Banana
(c)1999 All Together Now Entertainment Inc.
Words and Music by Judy and David Gershon

One big banana
Two big bananas
Three big bananas make a bunch

You can peel it, you can slice it, you can mash it, you can spice it
It’s one big banana
You can eat it you can drink it you can float it you can sink it
It’s one big banana
One or two bananas make a breakfast or a lunch
And three big bananas make a bunch

One big banana...

You can toss it you can pat it you can squish it you can splat it
It’s one big banana
You can rock it you can roll it you can skip it you can bowl it
It’s one big banana
One or two bananas make a monkey wanna munch
And three big bananas make a bunch

Bana-na-na-na-na-na

B-A-N-A-N-A Banana

One big banana...

You can peel it, you can slice it, you can mash it, you can spice it
It’s one big banana
You can eat it you can drink it you can float it you can sink it
It’s one big banana

One or two bananas make a breakfast or a lunch
Four or five bananas make a big banana punch
Six or seven ‘nanas for a Sunday morning brunch
Eight or nine or ten bananas are a lot to munch
And three big bananas...three big bananas... make a bunch.

Big Old Car
(c) 1997 All Together Now Entertainment Inc.
Words and Music by Judy and David Gershon (SOCAN)

I've got a big old car, a big old noisy car
It goes boom-ticka-boom
Take a ride in my noisy car

I've got a big old car, sometimes it doesn't start
It goes rrrrr, boom-ticka-boom
Take a ride in my noisy car

...with the loudest horn by far ...it goes ahoooga!

...with a big flat tire ...it goes POP-sssss

...it scared old Mrs. Par ...it goes BANG-Ahh!

Get in the car, put on your seatbelt, lock the door
Wave goodbye, let's go for a ride, get ready....

Bingo

Farmer Brown he had a dog and Bingo was his name-o
B-I-N-G-O, B-I-N-G-O, B-I-N-G-O,
And Bingo was his name-o

Farmer Brown he had a dog and Bingo was his name-o
(Clap)-I-N-G-O, (Clap)-I-N-G-O, (Clap)-I-N-G-O,
And Bingo was his name-o

Farmer Brown he had a dog and Bingo was his name-o
(Clap)-(Clap)-N-G-O, (Clap)-(Clap)-N-G-O, (Clap)-(Clap)-N-G-O,
And Bingo was his name-o

(Etc....)

Come to think of it, farmer brown was a woman!

Farmer Brown she had a dog...

 

Bird Brain
(c)2000 All Together Now Entertainment Inc.
Words and Music by Judy and David Gershon

I once met a chickadee who could navigate the Pyranees
A homing pigeon I once knew
Could fly to Paris and be home by two
I’ve seen the most miraculous birds from Zanzibar to Spain
And I’m proud to say that I have a bird brain

Is there a wiser song that you could make
than a loony on a chilly lake?
Do you think you could catch fish like an Osprey could?
I say! You wish!
I’ve seen the very brightest birds from Zanzibar to Spain
And I’m proud to say that I have a bird brain

Do you think that you could carry
A sweeter tune than a Canary?
I’ve met no person that could see
As far as an Eagle, believe you me

If you think that birds are foolish creatures you must be insane
There never was a brighter beast that soared above the plain
I’ve seen extraordinary birds from Zanzibar to Spain
And I’m proud to say that I have a bird brain

Brahm's Lullaby

There are many versions of words to this popular lullaby by Brahms. "Lullaby, and goodnight..." is one and there are others. On our recordings, we have chosen to do this song as an instrumental. If you have an up to date browser that can play Midi files, you can hear our entire version of the song right from your computer! Just click on the "Midi" button. It's a perfect song for just humming along.

Note: We hope to add some help files soon about how to configure your browser to play midi files -- i.e. if it's not already. In the mean time, you should be able to find some information on the net if you search around.

 

Build Us A Table
(c)2004 All Together Now Entertainment Inc.
Words and Music by Judy and David Gershon

It was just you and me, but now we are three
I can build us a table, yes I can
With three sides, you see. a triangle it will be
Oh, it's all just a part of the plan

And I will build us a table, so long as I am able
Each one of us on his or her own side
And I will build us a table, strong and sound and stable
We'll watch it grow as we move through our lives

Three and one makes four. A new child came through our door
And a new kind of table I'll prepare
I will build it with pride, with four equal sides
Our table will now be a square

Four and one makes five. A new child has arrived
A table will now be a pentagon
And when our family grows again
Well I'll be ready then
I'll build six sides, I'll build a hexagon

Grandma Anne and Poppy Joe
Came to live with us, you know
The taxi dropped them near the crack of dawn
"You will never be alone"
I said, "so welcome home"
And I sat down to build an octagon
