Light a Candle for Peace
This Pretty Planet
This pretty planet spinning through space,
You're a garden, you're a harbor, you're a holy place,
Golden sun going down,
Gentle blue giant spin us around,
All through the night, safe 'til the morning light.
This Pretty Planet
Good Morning to you boys and girls boys and girls
Good morning to you boys and girls how are you?
Good morning to you teachers, teachers, teachers
Good morning to you teachers, we are fine
May the long time sun shine upon you
all love surround you
and the pure light within you
guide your way on
guide your way on.
Good Morning Song
We've been singing songs from her album. Specifically:
I KNOW A CHICKEN (VERY FUNNY)
This developed out of an improvisation with the kids. They were playing with egg-shaped
"shakers" and I needed a song to go along with it. What could be more fun than shouting out a
little blues?
I know a chicken (I know a chicken)
And she laid an egg (and she laid an egg)
Oh I know a chicken (I know a chicken)
And she laid an egg (and she laid an egg)
Oh my goodness (oh my goodness)
It's a shaky egg! (it's a shaky egg!)
Shake your eggs!
WE ARE THE DINOSAURS (We march around the circle to this one)
It's so funny to me how popular this song has become. When I first went into the recording studio
I wasn't even sure I would record it. Strangely enough, on I HAD recorded it, it inspired both the
title of the album and the cover picture. I'm so glad the kids enjoy it because I think I like the
roaring part even more than they do!
We are the dinosaurs, marching, marching
We are the dinosaurs
WHADDAYA THINK OF THAT?
We are the dinosaurs, marching, marching
We are the dinosaurs, we make the earth flat
We make the earth flat
We stop and eat our food, when we're in the mood
We stop and eat our food on the ground
We stop and eat our food, when we're in the mood
We stop and eat our food and then we march around
'Cause we are the dinosaurs…
We stop and take a rest, over in our next
We stop and take a rest at the end of the day
We stop and take a rest, over in our nest
We stop and take a rest and then you'll hear us say
That we are the dinosaurs…
And then we ROAR!
'Cause we are the dinosaurs!
The Ding Dong song is pretty popular too!
Thanks to Sara Guzman for the CD we are loving it!
