about

I'm not known for doing Children's music. I do, however, have kids and I really wanted them to listen to something that didn't make me crazy (if you have kids, then you know what I mean). So, I wrote these songs for them. My wife said, "Why not let other kids enjoy them too? Put it out as a kids album." So here it is. I hope your kids enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed making it for mine.

Track Name: Stand Up!
Stand up
and spin around
Stand up
and then sit down
put your hands over your head
now pretend to go to bed

Wake up
and wiggle your knees
Stand up
pretend to sneeze

put your hands out by your side
and then jump into the sky

now lets all dance to the dancing part of this song
lets all dance cause dancing is so much fun
everyone all spin around
now now let's sit down on the ground.

Stand up

Stand up
and then sit down
put your hands over your head
now pretend to go to bed

Wake up
and wiggle your knees
Stand up
pretend to sneeze

put your hands out by your side
and then jump into the sky

now lets all dance to the dancing part of this song
lets all dance cause dancing is so much fun
lets all dance to the dancing part of this song
lets all dance cause dancing is so much fun
everyone all spin around
now now let's sit down on the ground.
Track Name: Ten
How do you count up to 10?
Some use rocks or dirty socks or look up at Big Ben.
I guess if you were desperate you could use a ball point pen...

but I have to say
I know a better way.

You've got one, two, three, four, five fingers on your hand
you've got five more on the other so now you can begin
add in your feet, they really can't compete
use your fingers to count up to ten.

one, two, three, four,
five, six, seven
eight, nine, ten.

Now you can count up to ten.
You don't need things like diamond rings
or older kids named Glenn.
Two hands are plenty.
Add your toes and count to twenty!

No need to cry
give it a try

You've got one, two, three, four, five fingers on your hand
you've got five more on the other so now you can begin
add in your feet, they really can't compete

thats how we count to ten
lets do it all again!

You've got one, two, three, four, five fingers on your hand
you've got five more on the other so now you can begin
add in your feet, they really can't compete
use your fingers to count up to ten.

Track Name: My Best Friend
You ran down the hill
fell and skinned your knee
I climbed on the branch
fell out of the tree

through all the hard times
you are there with me

You opened up the box
got the biggest prize
I got a brand bike
just the perfect size

through all the good times
you are there with me

my best friend
you can't really fake it
my best friend
no one's gonna shake it
my best friend
your the one I always want around
you take away my frown

You live down the street
we go outside to play
but we still have fun
when the sky is gray

through all the good times
you are there with me

my best friend
you can't really fake it
my best friend
no one's gonna shake it
my best friend
your the one I always want around
you take away my frown

When you smile it makes me smile
and when you're around I want to say
you're the best part of my day

my best friend
you can't really fake it
my best friend
no one's gonna shake it
my best friend
your the one I always want around
you take away my frown
Track Name: Bounce
Can't sit still too much energy
wanna hit the ground on a playing spree
all building up inside of me
gotta let it loose gotta set it free
need to move need to groove
need to remove all this energy
gotta run and jump and spin and flee
don't understand why can't they see

already done with dinner
I want to be excused
My dad says not to touch things
he's gonna blow a fuse
my teachers just don't get it
wait till the school bell rings
my mom yells stop and clean that up
we can never have nice things!

I've got to bounce!

Track Name: Wasn't Me
Lamp broke from a fall
I don't know who wrote on the wall
oh golly gee, wasn't me

there's paint on the floor
are you sure it wasn't there before
golly gee, wasn't me

heard a ghost saw a cat
a dog ran by and everything just went splat
I mean, what else could make a mess like that?

oh golly gee, wasn't me

it fell off the shelf
I swear it happened all by itself

oh golly gee, wasn't me.
