Click clack, open up the door, girls;
Click clack, open up the door, boys;
Front door, back door, clickety clack,
Take you riding in my car.

Climb, climb, rattle on the front seat;
Spree I spraddle on the backseat;
Turn my key, step on my starter,
Take you riding in my car.

Engine it goes boom, boom;
Engine it goes boom, boom;
Front seat, backseat, boys and girls,
Take you riding in my car.

Trees and the houses walk along;
Trees and the houses walk along;
Truck and a car and a garbage can,
Take you riding in my car.

Ships and the little boats chug along;
Ships and the little boats chug along;
Boom buhbuh boom boom boom buh boom,
Take you riding in my car.

I'm a gonna send you home again;

Boom, boom, buhbuh boom, rolling home,
Take you riding in my car.

A oorah, a oorah, a oogah, oogah,
I'll take you riding in my car.

Chorus:
Don't you push me, push me, push me,
Don't you push me down.
Don't you push me, push me, push me,
Don't you push me down.

You can play with me,
You can take my hand,
We can skip together
Down to the pretzel stand.
You can wear my mommy's shoes,
You can wear my daddy's hat,
You can even get mad at me,
But don't you push me down.

Chorus

You can play with me,
We can build a house,
You can take my ball,
And bounce it up and down.
You can take my skates,
And ride them all around,
You can even get mad at me,
But don't you push me down.

Chorus

You can play with me,
We can play all day,
You can use may use my dishes,
If you put them away.
You can feed me apples,
Oranges and Plum,.
You can even wash my face,
But don't you push me down.

Chorus

. . .


I put my dolly's dress on
And she looks like this
I put my dolly's pants on
And she looks like this
I put my dolly's hat on
And she looks like this

Put your finger in the air, in the air.
Put your finger in the air, in the air.
Put your finger in the air, and hold it right up there.
Put your finger in the air, in the air.

Put your finger on your cheek, on your cheek.
Put your finger on your cheek, on your cheek.
Put your finger on your cheek, leave it there a week.
Put your finger on your cheek, on your cheek.

Put your finger on your nose, on your nose.
Put your finger on your nose, on your nose.
Put your finger on your nose, and see if it grows.
Put your finger on your nose, on your nose.

Put your finger on your ear, on your ear.
Put your finger on your ear, on your ear.
Put your finger on your ear, and leave it there a year.
Put your finger on your ear, on your ear.

Put your finger on your finger, on your finger.
Put your finger on your finger, on your finger.
Put your finger on your finger, leave it there, let it linger.
Put your finger on your finger, on your finger.

I'll race you down the moun-tain,
I'll race you down the moun-tain,
I'll race you down the moun-tain,
We'll see who gets there first.

Let's run and jump the riv-er,
Let's run and jump the riv-er,
Let's run and jump the riv-er,
We'll see who gets there first.

I hear myself a-huffin',
A-huffin' and a-puffin',
I hear myself a-huffin',
We'll see who gets there first.

We'll rest beside the water,
We'll rest beside the water,
We'll rest beside the water,
We'll see who gets there first.

I stick out my little hand
To ev'ry woman, kid and man
And I shake it up and down, howjido, howjido
Yes, I shake it up and down, howjido

Howdy doozle doodle doozie
Howji hijie heejie hojie,
Howji hojie heejie hijie,
Howjido, howjido, howjido, sir,
Doodle doosie, howjido.

And when you walk in my door,
I will run across my floor,
And I'll shake you by the hand,
Howjido, howjido,
Yes, I'll shake it up and down, howjido

On my sidewalk, on my street,
Any place that we do meet,
Then I'll shake you by your hand,
Howjido, howjido,
Yes, I'll shake it up and down, howjido

When I first jump out of bed,
Out my window goes my head,
And I shake it up and down,
Howjido, howjido,
I shake at all my windows, howjido

I feel glad when you feel good,
You brighten up my neighborhood,
Shakin'hands with ev'rybody,
Howjido, howjido,
Shakin' hands with ev'rybody, howjido

When I meet a dog or cat,
I will rubby rub his back,
Shakey, shakey, shakey paw,
Howjido, howjido,
Shaking hands with everybody, howdy do.

Go to sleep, go to sleep

Go to sleep you little sleep eye

Go to sleep, go to sleep

Go to sleep you little sleep eye

Close the eye, close the eye

Close the eye my little sugar

One eye close, and two eyes close

Go to sleep you little sleep eye

Go to sleep, go to sleep

Go to sleep you little sleep eye

Go to sleep, go to sleep

Go to sleep you little sleep eye

Eyes they close, eyes they close

Eyes they close my little sugar

One had asleep, and two hands asleep

Go to sleep you little sleep eye

Dream a dream, dream a dream

Dream a dream a little sweeter

A big dream, little dream, got a big dream

Go to sleep you little sleep eye

Sleep sleep, sleep sleep

Sleep you sleepy little sleep eye

Sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep

Sleep you sleepy little sleep eye

Go to sleep, go to sleep

Go to sleep you little sleep eye

Go to sleep, go to sleep

Go to sleep you little sleep eye

Yellow, yellow, yellow, my yellow crayon

Yellow, yellow, yellow, my yellow crayon

Yellow, yellow, yellow, my yellow crayon

Yellow, yellow, yellow, my yellow crayon

Well if you want to use my yellow crayon

Go ahead and use my yellow crayon

If you want to write, if you want to draw

Go ahead and use my yellow crayon

I put on my table my yellow crayon

So sister and brother and daddy and mom

Can see on my table my yellow crayon

And you can all use my yellow crayon

I skipped home from school, from school today

And I went to find my yellow crayon

Mommy and daddy had broke it in two

And both was using my yellow crayon

Well if you'd like to use my yellow crayon

Just ask for me and my yellow crayon

I'll let you use my yellow crayon

And I'll go and get you my yellow crayon

Now when you buy me some more crayons

Get me a whole lot of yellow crayons

Everybody uses my yellow crayons

And I'll need plenty of yellow crayons

Yellow, yellow, yellow, my yellow crayon

Yellow, yellow, yellow, my yellow crayon

Yellow, yellow, yellow, my yellow crayon

Yellow, yellow, yellow, my yellow crayon

My yellow crayon is my yellow crayon

And if you lose my yellow crayon

Then I'll cry for my yellow crayon

Cause I wouldn't have me no yellow crayon

Just ask me to bring you my yellow crayon

And I'll ask you, "my yellow crayon?"

You say to me, "your yellow crayon"

And I'll tell you, "here's my yellow crayon"

You can write letters with my yellow crayon

Pictures and numbers and yellow crayons

It's my yellow yellow crayon

And I want you to use my yellow crayon

Now when I'm at home, my yellow crayon

Or playin' with the kids, my yellow crayon

Swimmin' in the water, my yellow crayon

I'll be glad to bring you my yellow crayon

You have used my yellow crayon

You wore it down little, my yellow crayon

You've wore it so small, my yellow crayon

I can't even hold it, my yellow crayon

Yellow, yellow, yellow, my yellow crayon

Yellow, yellow, yellow, my yellow crayon

Yellow, yellow, yellow, my yellow crayon

Yellow, yellow, yellow, my yellow crayon

Well, the world has seven wonders that the trav'lers always tell,
Some gardens and some towers, I guess you know them well,
But now the greatest wonder is in Uncle Sam's fair lang,
It's the big Columbia River and the big Grand Coulee Dam.

She heads up the Canadian Rockies where the rippling waters glide,
Comes a-roaring down the canyon to meet the salty tide,
Of the wide Pacific Ocean where the sun sets in the West
And the big Grand Coulee country in the land I love the best.

In the misty crystal glitter of that wild and wind ward spray,
Men have fought the pounding waters and met a watery grave,
Well, she tore their boats to splinters but she gave men dreams to dream
Of the day the Coulee Dam would cross that wild and wasted stream.

Uncle Sam took up the challenge in the year of 'thrity-three,
For the farmer and the factory and all of you and me,
He said, "Roll along, Columbia, you can ramble to the sea,
But river, while you're rambling, you can do some work for me."

Now in Washington and Oregon you can hear the factories hum,
Making chrome and making manganese and light aluminum,
And there roars the flying fortress now to fight for Uncle Sam,
Spawned upon the King Columbia by the big Grand Coulee Dam.

I walked out on a sage brush hill

Thought I'd find me a hog to kill

Heard a pig squeal and up jumped one

I pulled my trigger and I drug him home

Jiggy jiggy bum bum

Hey piggy run run

Jiggy jiggy bum bum

And a hey piggy run

Tied my rope around his feet

Swung him up in the mill to bleed

Middle of the night grey wolf come

Take his wife and family some.

Jiggy jiggy bum bum

Hey piggy run run

Jiggy jiggy bum bum

And a hey piggy run

Grabbed my gun, run to the hill Standing up around the old windmill

I says grey wolf if you come to steel

I'll slit your belly and hang you by the heels

Oh Mr. ranchman Mr grey wolf said

My eleven little babies are starving dead

I said grey wolf I'm troubled myself

Cause I've got a wife and a children twelve

And the old grey wolf made the big run Made me jump and I dropped my gun

Took my gun throwed it in the well

Turn the old grey wolf's soul to hell

Well the old grey wolf run to the mill Seen my hog hanging by his heel

Filled up his belly from a puddle of blood

And he grabbed my hog and struck for home

Jiggy jiggy bum bum

Hey piggy run run

Jiggy jiggy bum bum

And a hey piggy run

. . .


A bubble, and a bubble

And I bubble my gum

A bubble, and a bubble

And I bubble my gum

A blabber, and a blubber

And I blubber my gum

A bleeber, and a blabber

And I bubble my gum

I woke up when the mornin' come

Bubble and a bubble and a bubble my gum

Comb my teeth with a wide-toothed comb

Bubble and a bubble and a bubble my gum

Dried my face in a lookin' glass

Put my lipstick on my nose

Put my hands into my socks

I put my feet into my gloves

And a bubble and a bubble

And I bubble my gum

Bubble and a bubble

And I bubble my gum

Bubble and a bubble

And I blubber my gum

Bleeber and a blabber

And I bubble my gum

Squirt my toothpaste on my hair

Stuck my toothbrush in my ear

Fixed my breakfast in my room

And I chewed and chewed my bubblin' gum

Heard a little rooster crow for day

And I heard him crow ten miles away

Stirred my oatmeal with my thumb

And I bubbled and bubbled my bubblin' gum

And a bubble, and a bubble

My bubblin' gum

And a bubble, and a bubble

My bubblin' gum

And a bubble, and a bubble

My bubblin' gum

And a bubble, and a bubble

My bubblin' gum

And a bubble, and a bubble

My gubblin' gum

Chewed my milk, drank my toast

I drunk down a big beef roast

Heard my daddy ask my mom

Who's that a bubblin' bubblin' gum

My brother walked with me to school

He said you bubble your gum like a fool

He offered me a knife, some marbles and gun

I gave him my bubblin' gum

And a bubble, and a bubble

My bubblin' gum

And a bubble, and a bubble

My bubblin' gum
