Lyrics
FUN FILLED AFTERNOON
I’m going swimming, swimming today
I’m going down to the beach today
Gonna bring my Dad and Mom
Gonna bring my Dad and Mom
Have a fun-filled afternoon
Have a fun-filled afternoon
CHORUS
Dad can bring the food, Dad can bring the food
Mom can bring the toys, Mom can bring the toys
I can bring my dog, I can bring my dog
Make a whole bunch of noise; make a whole bunch of noise
Run along the beach, run along the beach,
Have a fun-filled afternoon have a fun-filled afternoon
Maybe today I’ll meet a brand new friend
I’ll have a chance to pretend
Eat a million ice creams with sardines and jam
Building sand castles on the beach
Running along the beach
If I’m going swimming, swimming today
I better remember what my parents had to say
Make sure the water’s below your shoulders dear
And your feet can touch the sand
CHORUS
Dad can bring the food, Dad can bring the food
Mom can bring the toys, Mom can bring the toys
I can bring my dog, I can bring my dog
Make a whole bunch of noise; make a whole bunch of noise
Run along the beach, run along the beach,
Have a fun-filled afternoon have a fun-filled afternoon
BEND YOUR KNEES
I remember when I was just a child
Sitting on my grandparents knee
They offered me some words of advice
And this is what they said to me
CHORUS
Bend your knees when you’re picking up things
Take good care of your back
Bend your knees when you’re picking up things
Take good care of your back
When you’re tying up your laces or picking up your toys
Or playing in the schoolyard with other girls and boys
Remember now darling, what you’ve heard from me,
Even Superman has learned he’s got to bend his knees
So now I am a parent
And it seems quite apparent
I have a responsibility
So when I see my children
Not taking good care of their backs
Well, they get some advice from me
CHORUS
Bend your knees, when you’re picking up things
Take good care of your back
Bend your knees, when you’re picking up things
Take good care of your back
Take good care of your back
Take good care of your back
It also highlights the thought that even Superman has learned to bend his knees when he's picking up things and take good care of his back.
STOP, LOOK & LISTEN
When I was a little boy
I got a message from my Dad and Mom
Please remember these three magic words
My darling little one
CHORUS
You’ve got to stop (stop)
Look (look) and listen (listen)
Stop (stop), look (look) and listen (listen)
And be as careful as you can be
When I go to cross the street
I stick my finger out
I look both ways, I am sure
What safety is all about?
CHORUS
Now I am a father
With two children of my own
So I sat them down, explained to them
Three magic words I’ve been shown
CHORUS
You’ve got to stop (stop)
Look (look) and listen (listen)
Stop (stop), look (look) and listen (listen)
And be as careful as you can be
And be as careful as you can be
UP TO BAT
Well I’m up to bat
For the very first time
I’m as nervous as I can be
All my friends and family
Are here to wish the best for me
My heart is pounding
My knees do shake
What’s going to happen next?
I can hardly wait.
Make it to first - That’s OK.
Second be fine - It’s my first day
Third’d be cool - What can I say?!
Hit a home run – That’ll make my day
CHORUS
I just want to do – the best I can
That’s good enough for me.
The pitcher’s in his wind-up
The ball will soon be thrown
Will it be a Fastball? Knuckleball?
Something I’ve been shown?
Will it be a Spitball? Curveball?
Can I hit it home?
No Problem, No Problem, No Problem
Maybe I will bunt it or I’ll ground it,
I’ve got a few tricks of my own.
CHORUS
I just want to do – the best I can
That’s good enough for me.
The ball’s been thrown
Here it comes
Please let me be
A lucky one
Run, run that’s OK?
Just try to do your best today
Run, run that’s OK?
Just try to do your best today
Run, run have some fun
Just try to do your best today
Run, run that’s OK?
Just try to do your best today
CHORUS
I just want to do – the best I can
That’s good enough for me.

I'VE NEVER EVER BEEN THE SAME
I like to read, I like to write,
Please let me now explain.
The moment I discovered
How to read and write
I’ve never ever been the same
A book can take you sailing
Across the Seven Seas
And paint a picture in your mind,
That is a sight to see
And every time I go to the Library
There is a different book I find
Some will educate me, Spark my imagination
Or offer me some peace of mind.
I like to read, I like to write, Children's choir joins in.
Please let me now explain.
The moment I discovered
How to read and write
I’ve never ever been the same
A book can take you sailing
Across the Seven Seas
And paint a picture in your mind
That is a sight to see
And every time I go to the Library
There is a different book I find
Some will educate me, Spark my imagination
Or offer me some peace of mind.
Some will educate me, Spark my imagination
Or offer me some peace of mind.
The moment I discovered
How to read and write
I’ve never ever been the same
