What's fun to pretend to be What's fun to pretend to be What's fun for you and me What's fun to pretend to be In the morning when no ones awake I disappear and put on my cape And when they get up my family can see That I'm a super hero as brave as can be Go in the kitchen and look what I found Somethings crawling down on the ground I hear it purrin' cleaning up it's fur and My sisters making all kinds of kitty cat sounds What's fun to pretend to be What's fun to pretend to be What's fun for you and me What's fun to pretend to be I'd like to be a pirate I think Sail the oceans and the ships I'd sink And then I'll measure all the buried treasure Lookin' like a million bucks but boy do I stink! What's fun to pretend to be What's fun to pretend to be What's fun for you and me What's fun to pretend to be

Getting in my room is getting kind of tough Yeah my Mom looked around and said enough's enough She said I need to clean it up and then she left in a huff Said I'd better get some help because it's gonna be rough I don't really see it but I've got to admit That there isn't anywhere for anybody to sit Why!? You've got too much stuff Why!? You've got too much stuff Why!? You've got too much stuff Why!? You've got too much stuff Haven't seen the bed yeah it's hard to ignore Can't remember when I saw the rug the dog or the floor It's O.K. I hope you're not keeping score "Cause I think we're going out today I'll probably get more So I've got to make some room it's gonna be a chore No I don't need any help but please don't open that door No don't open that door! No don't open that door!!! Why!? You've got too much stuff Why!? You've got too much stuff Why!? You've got too much stuff Why!? You've got too much stuff

Germs 02:24
You're taught to share so many things But I have got a secret One thing you should never share And never ever keep it It's something that you can not see With your naked eye Something that sneaks up on you That's always a surprise I'll give you one guess what it is Can you hypothesize? I bet you've got it figured out So let's all harmonize Germs! They're gross and slimy like worms Germs! I just can't come to terms with those Germs! They're everywhere you go Germs! Just want to let you know Wash your hands and brush your teeth "cause that's where they all lurk Say it don't spray it keep it to yourself Don't be a j#@k Germs! They're hiding under your shoe Germs! Sneaking in with you know who Germs! They're everywhere you go Germs! Just want to let you know Wash your hands and brush your teeth "cause that's where they all lurk Say it don't spray it keep it to yourself Don't be a j#@k It might be drastic But a plastic bubble wouldn't hurt No need to worry All it takes is just a little work

This is a song that the moon gave to me He sang it sweet with a smile I didn't know how you remembered a song So I thought about it for a little while I thought you could keep all the sounds and the words Keep all the bits and the parts Locked in a drawer or in a box on the floor But the moon said "you're silly you just keep it in your heart" So I said thank you goodbye Mr. moon Good morning to you Mrs. Sun I think I've got a new song I can sing for us Or maybe we can just hum along Before we could finish Mr. Moon came back He said "why aren't you singing my song?" I said I can't remember the words that you sang He said "oh you're so silly it's not very long." "It goes like this" While the sun shines bright And the moons still free There is nothing better than a little you and me While the sun shines bright And the moons still free There is nothing better than a little you and me While the sun shines bright And the moons still free There is nothing better than a little you and me While the sun shines bright And the moons still free There is nothing better than a little you and me Oh I agree

Tops and bottoms And front and back Just use your toothbrush It's as simple as that No don't let the plague And tartar attack your pearly whites Tops and bottoms And in between Just use your dental floss To get your teeth clean Of the breakfast lunch and dinner That can't be seen 'cause it hides Brush 'em up and brush 'em down Don't forget your tongue just stick it out like a clown 'Cause everybody loves a pretty smile no one likes a frown Tops and bottoms And front and back Just use your toothbrush It's as simple as that No don't let the plague And tartar attack your pearly whites
