Chorus:
Singing ! Singing ! All together
Singing ! Singing ! All together….
Let’s clap a beat… that’s unbeatably sweet
If we stomp our feet… now the beat is complete
That’s right now….
Let’s shake our head…. With our friend Ted
Let’s tap our toes… With our friend Rose
Everybody now….
When I sing with you, I really fly….
My heart feels as big as the sky….
Let’s stand and freeze… With our friend Louise
Now down on our knees… We might even sneeze (ah ah ah choo)
Everybody!
Everyone… Everyone…

Todo el mundo (Spanish)
Mei ge ren (Mandarin Chinese)
Tutti nel mondo (Italian)
Kila mtu (Swahili)

Jump for Joy! (↑back to top)
by Wiley Rankin and Deborah Rankin
©2003 Jump For Joy Music
I want to jump for joy
‘Cause a smile’s too small
In my heart I feel
Like I’m ten feet tall
Chorus:
Way up high, way down low
From the big blue sky to my little toe
I want to jump for joy! I want to jump for joy!
I want to turn around
Let the joy astound
All the friends I’ve found
As I turn around
(Chorus)
Every part of me is smiling in the sun
As I jump jump jump for joy with everyone!
I want to laugh out loud
With a giggling crowd
‘Cause I’m not too proud
To laugh out loud
(Chorus)
I want to shake my shoes
Don’t mistake the news
‘Cause I lose my blues
When I shake my shoes
(Chorus)
I want to jump for joy! Let me jump for joy!

Pop Goes the Weasel Rock (↑back to top)

All around the mulberry bush
The monkey chased the weasel
The monkey thought it was all in good fun
Now pop to the top, get up and hop!
Chorus 1:
We’re gonna hop, We’re gonna bop, We’re gonna pop
To the top ’til we stop!
Now hop, We’re gonna bop, We’re gonna pop
To the top ’til we stop!
Hide your face, be still as a mouse
Don’t forget that weasel
Quiet down, stay close to the ground
Now pop to the top, get up and hop!
Chorus 2:
We’re gonna move, we’re gonna groove
We’re gonna hop, to the top, ’til we stop!
Now Hop! Hop! …..Now.Hop! Hop! Hop!
We’re gonna move, we’re gonna groove
We’re gonna dance, we’re gonna hop, ’til we stop!
Now lie as flat as you possibly can
Flatter than a frying pan
Hide your eyes, stay in disguise
Now pop to the top, get up and hop!
Chorus 3:
We’re gonna laugh, we’re gonna giggle
We’re gonna jiggle, we’re gonna wiggle
We’re gonna stop
Now Hop! Hop!…Now Hop! Hop! Hop!
Laughy laugh, giggle, giggle
Wiggle, wiggle, jiggle, jiggle
Hop and stop!
Now Hop! Hop! Hop! Hop! Hop!
You guys, we did it!
We chased away that weasel!
Give yourself a big hand! Hip Hip Hooray!

Clean Air (↑back to top)
by Wiley Rankin and Deborah Rankin
©2003 Jump For Joy Music
I’m gonna reach, reach, reach reach out for the sunshine
I’m gonna dance, dance, dance dance around in the rain
I’m gonna tip, tip, tip tiptoe to you in the moonlight
I whisper look, look, look look out your windowpane
Prechorus 1:
When we jump and dance, we huff and puff
When we need a big breath, what’s our favorite stuff?
Chorus:
Clean Air! What do we want to reach through?
Clean Air! What do those raindrops do?
Clean Air! What makes the moonlight shine?
Clean Air! So I can see all of you, friends of mine
Bunnies hop, hop, hop… Hip hop on a sun sunny day
Piggies slop, slop, slop… Slip slop in a mud muddy way
Owls hoot, hoot, hoot…. Hoot a tune that’s a boon to the moon
In the crisp night air… Sweet dreams will be ours real soon
Prechorus 2:
When we hop and slop, we huff and puff
When we need a big breath, what’s our favorite stuff?
(Chorus)
I’m gonna reach, reach, reach reach out for the sunshine
I’m gonna dance, dance, dance dance around in the rain
I’m gonna tip, tip, tip tiptoe to you in the moonlight
I whisper look, look, look look out your windowpane
Prechorus 3:
Can’t see it or taste it, still we can’t get enough
When we need a big breath, what’s our favorite stuff?
(Chorus)

You Are You (↑back to top)
by Kevin Roth
© 1986 Kevin Roth Music – www.kevinrothmusic.com
Chorus:
You are you and I am me,
No one is the same you see
We’re all made so differently
And the world goes ’round and ’round.
Even skies are never the same,
First it’s sunny, then it rains;
Flowers bloom and seasons change
And the world goes ’round and ’round.
(Chorus)
Some kids grow up on city streets,
Some on farms with corn and wheat;
Some on boats that sail the seas
And the world goes ’round and ’round.
(Chorus)
But the one thing that we all share
Is the need for love, some one to care
Just to know that you are there
Helps my world go ’round.
And the world goes ’round and ’round

Chorus:
Join in! (Join in!) Have fun! (Have fun!)
There’s enough love for everyone
Join in! (Join in!) Have fun! (Have fun!)
There’s enough love for everyone
In every single person, there yearns a heart of gold
For every friend around us, there’s a story to be told
(Chorus)
Michael is a lot of fun and he’s got so much to give
When the cold wind blows he cares for those who have no place to live
(Chorus)
Some days we all need a friend’s hand to hold
A hug is a chance to come out of the cold
(Chorus)
Sarah loves to give good gifts, she loves a big surprise
When she makes somebody happy, you can see joy in her eyes
Soft Chorus
(Chorus)
Join In!

Uno..Dos..Tres!
We’re going to Kentucky,
We’re going to the fair
We’re going to see Carlos
With a cheeseburger in his hair!

So shake it baby, shake it! Shake it all you can.
Shake it like a milkshake, and drink it if you can.
And rumble to the bottom, and rumble to the top.
And turn around and turn around, until you make a stop!

We’re going to Kentucky
We’re going to the fair
We’re going to see Christina
With a chocolate milkshake in her hair!

The Merry-Go-Round (↑back to top)
by Wiley Rankin and Deborah Rankin
©1999 Jump For Joy Music
Chorus:
Ahhhhhhhhh!
The merry-go-round!
Very merry-go-round!
There’s nary a frown
As we’re spinnin’ around!
We sing and squeal!
How good we feel!
We’re never done…
Havin’ fun!
First I step up to ride on a carousel that’s wide
Then I look around to see my friends
Now they’re high, now they’re low, now I’m ready to go
We get spun and the fun never ends.
(Chorus)
There’s a horsey who’s tall and a pony who’s small
There’s a mouse and a kangaroo
How can I choose whose saddle to use?
There’s a red one and there’s a blue
(Chorus)
As I step to the ground from my merry-go-round
And I try to stand up straight
As the trees seem to spin, I’m reminded again
Of the cotton candy I’m sorry that I ate.
(Chorus)
We’re never done
Havin’ fun, havin’ fun!

Leapfrog (↑back to top)
by Wiley Rankin and Deborah Rankin
©2003 Jump For Joy Music
(featuring Guest Artist Elvis T. Frog, T for Treemendous)
A leapfrog knows just when to take his turn
He waits for his friend, cause his friend’s his main concern
They jump, wait, jump, it’s a crazy way to learn
Chorus:
Leapfrogs, here’s what I’ll do… Ribbit Ribbit Ribbit
Leapfrogs, I’ll take turns with you Ribbit Ribbit Ribbit
So I can hear your point of view.
His friends drop by to see his lily pad
The pigs sing a verse or two, that makes him glad
The cat starts to scat the blues, and he says, “not bad”
(Chorus)
The cow from France loves to sing her favorite song…. Moooo la la!
La vache francaise aime chanter son chanson…. Moooo la la!
Elle aime chanter avec le petit mouton… Baaaaa / Moooo la la, Moooo la la la!
(Chorus x2)

All My Love To You (↑back to top)

Time to sleep,
Travel to off to dream land.
I will send all my love to you.
Sweet dreams glide on a ride so tender.
Angels sing by your side, they send a
Lullaby,
Goodnight…goodnight
Goodnight…goodnight
Goodnight, Sleep tight.
