1. Baby Songs Theme
Words: Martha Cheney / Music: Hap Palmer

It's a wonderful day to go out and play
Hey, maybe you could come along
All you need to bring is a song to sing
A happy little baby song

We can sing about friends
And the people we know
We can sing about the places we go
We can sing about the world
And the things that we see
We can sing about you and me

3. What's Bigger Then A Bear?
Words and Music by Hap Palmer

What’s bigger than a bear?
Smaller than a chair?
Slower than a snail?
Faster than a whale?
Longer than a yardstick?
Shorter than a toothpick?
Louder than a cry?
Softer than a sigh?

We contrast this and that
Here, there and everywhere
But when it comes to you, my friend,
Nothing can compare.

What’s brighter than a flashlight?
Dimmer than the sunlight?
Smoother than a pine cone?
Rougher than a dog’s bone?
Heavier than a bowling ball?
Lighter than a baseball?
Faster than a plane?
Slower than a train?

We contrast this and that
here, there, and everywhere
But, when it comes with you, my friend
Nothing can compare
Because you’re one of a kind
and we’re lucky to find
The one and only you!

4. Elephant
Words and Music by Hap Palmer

The elephant moves very slowly
Oh so very slowly
He doesn’t like to move too fast
Because he is so big and heavy

But should he see a tiger
Or spy a mean old hunter
He will start to run and shake the ground
And make them all fall down

Rumble, rumble, rumble
Hear the jungle rumble
Rumble, rumble, rumble
Hear the jungle rumble

Trees shake and sway
as the birdies fly away
Lions run and hide
with their babies by their side

The elephant moves very slowly
Oh so very slowly
He doesn’t like to move to fast
Because he is so big and heavy

5. I'm Glad I'm Me
Words and Music by Hap Palmer

This is a story ‘bout Sammy
His father sent him out to buy bread
But Sammy didn’t fee like walkin’
He wished he could fly instead, and he said,

“If I were a bird I would fly to the store,
Fly to the store, fly to the store
If I were a bird I would fly to the store
Fly to the store for my father.”

This is a story ‘bout Clara
Her father sent her out to buy bread
But Clara didn’t feel like walkin’
She wished she could gallop instead, and she siad,

“If I were a pony I would gallop to the store,
Gallop to the store, gallop to the store
If I were a pony I would gallop to the store
Gallop to the store for my father.”

This is a story ‘bout Lucinda and Jose
Their father sent them out to buy bread
But Lucinda and Jose didn’t feel like walkin’
They wished they could jump instead, and they said

“If we were kangaroos we would jump to the store,
Jump to the store, jump to the store
If we were kangaroos we would jump to the store
Jump to the store for our father.”

Then Sammy and his friends remembered the bread
And they knew they better move along
And as they walked, each one smiled
And made up a brand new song,

I’m glad I’m me and I’m walking to the stores
Walking to the store, walking to the store
I’m glad on me and I’m walking to the store
Walking to the store for my father.

6. Amazing
Words and Music by Hap Palmer

Beavers, birds, bugs and bats
Dolphins, dogs and kitty cats
Ducks and does, snakes and eels
Buffaloes and baby seals
Tigers, toads and tiny ants
Lady bugs and elephants
Horses, geese and grizzly bears
Pigs and people everywhere
Countless creatures born each day
Each unique in it’s own way

Chorus:
Isn’t it amazing? Isn’t it amazing?
Looking ‘round at everything
Makes you want to shout and sing
Life is an amazing thing
Oh, life is an amazing thing

Camels, clams and caribous
Cougars, cranes and cockatoos
Squirrels, skunks and squiggly squids
Kangaroos and katydids
Crickets, crabs and garden snails
Monkeys, mice and fireflies
Fish and frogs of every size
Praise the miracle that brings
All these different living things

Pandas, ponies, nightingales
Crocodiles and cottontails
‘Round and round the whole world spins
Cheetahs, chimps and chickadees
Butterflies and honeybees
Everyday new life begins

Oh, life is an amazing thing

8. Its Bitsy Spider
Traditional; Additional Words and Music by Hap Palmer

The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the water spout
Down came the rain and washed the spider out
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain
And the itsy bitsy spider climbed up the spout again

Creeping, crawling bit by bit
That tiny spider would not quit
Kept on climbin’ and it kept on tryin’
‘Til the sun came shinin’ through

There’s a spider on your toenail
A spider on your knee
A spider on your stomach
A spider on your back
A spider on your shoulder
A spider on your neck
A spider on your fore head
A spider in your hair
Now the rain comes down and washes it out

Repeat Verses One and Two

9. Baby Chickie
Words and Music by Hap Palmer

Little bitty chickie curled within the egg
Growing bigger day by day
It’s getting squished inside, and won’t be satisfied
Until it’s time to come outside and play

Peck, chickie, peck, stretch out your neck.
Squirm about and shake each leg,
Tap your beak and wiggle, push real hard and jiggle
Until you crack the shell and break the egg

Welcome to the world, baby chickie
Walk around and see what’s all around
Peck a little here and peck a little there
And let us hear your merry peeping sound.

10. My Baby
Words and Music by Hap Palmer

My baby wants her bottle now
She’s hungry as can be
I’ll feed her milk all nice and warm
And hold her close to me

Chorus:
Little baby I love you so
little baby I’ll watch you grow
little baby I love holding you
‘Cause I know you love me too.

My baby’s diaper is all wet
He needs one nice and dry
So I will change his diaper now
And then he will not cry

My baby is all dirty ‘cause
We went outside to play
So I will put her in the tub
And wash the dirt away

My baby has a sleepy face
He needs a little nap
So I will rock him in my arm
And hold him in my lap

Repeat Chorus
