Vincent - Big Bad Kitchen Band

Good MorningGood Morning

Good morning, good morning
The sun is in the sky
Good morning, good morning
Open up your eyes
Time to wake up
So many things to do
Good morning, good morning to you

Good morning, good morning
Let the day begin

Good morning, good morning
Hear the blue birds sing
Time to wake up
So many things to do
Good morning, good morning to you

Good morning, good morning
Good morning, good morning
Good morning, good morning to you

 

Can I Go OutsideCan I Go Outside

Momma, can I go outside
Out there where it's green and wide
Please, oh can I go outside
and play
today?

I can climb the tallest tree
Maybe you can play with me
today
Okay?

I'll wear my sneakers
and my favorite hat
You wear your sweatshirt
I'll get my baseball bat

Momma, can I go outside
Out there where it's green and wide
Please, oh can I go outside
and play
today?
Okay!

 

Eyes, Ears...Eyes, Ears ...

I use my eyes, ears, nose,
mouth and hands
to learn about my world
I use my eyes, ears, nose,
mouth and hands
to learn about my world

Taste the peanut in the peanut butter
Hear the lion roar
Taste the peanut in the peanut butter
Hear the lion roar

See the colors in the rainbow
Smell the flowers as they grow
See the colors in the rainbow
Stop to smell a rose

Eyes, ears, nose, mouth and hands
I use my eyes, ears, nose,
mouth and hands
Eyes, ears, nose, mouth and hands

 

Jump Rope RapJump Rope Rap

I know a girl and her name is Emily
lives in town with a great big family
She's got a dog and a calico cat
She cut her hair short
'cause she likes it like that
Popcorn
won't you take me to a movie
Popcorn
won't you take me to a show
Popcorn
won't you take me to a movie

Got a nickel and a quarter
and I really want to go
around the clock
tick tock
around the block
clip clop
around the clock
tick tock
Got a nickel and a quarter
and I really got to stop

 

My ShadowMy Shadow
by Robert L Stevenson (1850-1894)
adapted by Vincent


I have a little shadow
that goes in and out with me
And what can be the use of him
is more than I can see
He is very, very like me
from his heels up to his head
And I see him jump before me
when I jump into bed

My shadow, my shadow
My shadow goes in and out with me
My shadow, my shadow
My shadow goes in and out with me

The funny thing about him
is the way he likes to grow
Not like proper children
which is always very slow
For he sometimes shoots up taller
like my sister's rubber ball
And he sometimes gets so little
that there's none of him at all

He hasn't got a notion
of just how children play
He can only make a fool of me
in every sort of way
He stays so close beside me
he's a coward, can't you see
Like a baby to his mother
that shadow sticks to me

My Mom & DadMy Mom & Dad

My dad's a baker at the bakery
He bakes the bread
and chocolate chip cookies
He works real hard
and makes it look easy
When I grow up I want to be like ...

My mom's a driver on the
downtown bus
To get them home from work
it's my mom they trust
She works real hard
and makes it look easy
When I grow up I want to be like ...

My mom and dad
My mom and dad
Like a little red apple from
the family tree
I've got the family seed in me

My mom's a doctor
better see her quick
If your tummy's kind of funny
and you're feeling sick
She works real hard
and makes it look easy
When I grow up
I want to be like ...

My dad's a teacher
at the public school
He'll teach you reading books
is really cool
He works real hard
and makes it look easy
When I grow up
I want to be like ...

 

Shake, ShakeShake, Shake

Put your hands in the air
Give them a shake, shake
Put your hands in the air
Give them a shake, shake
Turn yourself all around
and count 1-2-3-4
Boom-shack-a-lacka-boom-boom

Put your hands on your hips ...
Put your hands on your head ...
Put your hands in the air ...

I got this old pie tin

Feel the beat
Come on and move those feet
Shake the doors
Sing it loud once more

I'm in a Big Bad Kitchen Band

Some kids count from one to ten
I can count to ten and then
I can count one number higher
and I'm not even tired

Come on now
and count with me
Sing along,
it's easy

Jamaican ABCsJamaican ABCs

There is an island called Jamaica
If you've never been someday I'll take ya
They sing a simple melody
when they say their ABC's

Children playing in the white sand
to the music of a steel drum dance band
Underneath the big palm trees
They sing their ABC's

We sing them A to Z

It just stopped raining
So stop complaining
Outside my window
There's a rainbow

Red orange yellow
green blue violet

 

There's a Monkey at My Front DoorThere's a Monkey at My Front Door

There's a monkey at my front door
making lots of noise
He wants to ride my bicycle
and play with all my toys
A-oh, a-oh
I guess I'll stay inside until he goes

There's a racoon at my front door
playing the trombone
Let's turn off all our lights
and pretend that we're not home
A-oh, a-oh
I guess I'll stay inside until he goes

There's a big skunk at my front door
and he doesn't look so well
He looks just like my neighbor's cat
But, oh, that yucky smell
A-oh, a-oh
I guess I'll stay inside until he goes

There's a tiger at my front door
who's wearing orange socks
He's chased away the paperboy
and is eating our mailbox
A-oh, a-oh
I guess I'll stay inside until he goes
Away

 

Double Bubble BathDouble Bubble Bath

Yeah, yeah, I want a bubblebath
Turn on the faucets, Momma, make it fast
Those big, big, bubbles make my belly laugh
I'm gonna take my time, gonna make it last
Anytime of day, you don't have to ask
I want a double bubble bubblebath

Double bubble bubblebath
Double bubble bubblebath
You add one and one
It's simple math
I want a
double bubble bubblebath

 

The Owl & the PussycatThe Owl & the Pussycat
By Edward Lear (1812-1888)
Adapted by Vincent


The Owl and the Pussycat went to sea
In a beautiful pea-green boat
They took some honey
and plenty of money
Wrapped up in a five-pound note
The Owl looked up the stars above
and he sang to a small guitar
"O lovely Pussy, O Pussy, my love
What a beautiful Pussy you are
You are, You are
What a beautiful Pussy you are."

Pussy said to the Owl, "You elegant fowl
How charmingly sweet you sing
O let us be married
Too long we have tarried
But what shall we do for a ring?"
They sailed away for a year and a day
To the land where the bong-tree grows
And there in a wood
a Piggy-wig stood
With a ring at the end of his nose
His nose, His nose
With a ring at the end of his nose

"Dear Pig, are you willing
to sell for one shilling
Your ring?"
Said the Piggy,"I will."
So they took it away
and were married next day
By the turkey
who lives on the hill

They dined on mince
and slices of quince
Which they ate
with a runcible spoon
And hand in hand
on the edge of the sand
They danced
by the light of the moon
The moon
The moon
And they danced
by the light of the moon
