1. _ Day Is Done
Tell me why you're crying, my son
I know you're frightened, like everyone
Is it the thunder in the distance you fear?
Will it help if i stay very near?
I am here.
Refrain:
And if you take my hand my son
All will be well when the day is done.
And if you take my hand my son
All will be well when the day is done.
Day is done, day is done
Day is done, day is done
Do you ask why i'm sighing, my son?
You shall inherit what mankind has done.
In a world filled with sorrow and woe
If you ask me why this is so, i really don't know.
(refrain)
Tell me why you're smiling my son
Is there a secret you can tell everyone?
Do you know more than men that are wise?
Can you see what we all must disguise
Through your loving eyes?
(refrain)

2. _ Mockingbird
Hush little baby, don't say a word
Pappa's gonna buy you a mockingbird
If that mockingbird don't sing
Pappa's gonna buy you a diamond ring
If that diamond ring turns brass
Pappa's gonna buy you a lookin' glass
If that lookin' glass gets broke
Pappa's gonna buy you billy goat
If that billy goat don't pull
Pappa's gonna buy you a cart and bull
If that cart and bull turns over
Pappa's gonna buy you a doggie named rover
If that dog named rover don't bark
Pappa's gonna buy you a horse and cart
If that horse and cart fall down
You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town

3. _ Boa Constrictor
I'm being swallowed by a boa constrictor
I'm being swallowed by a boa constrictor
I'm being swallowed by a boa constrictor
And i don't like it very much!
Oh no, oh no, he swallowed my toe,
He swallowed my toe
Oh gee, oh gee, he's up to my knee,
He's up to my knee
Oh fiddle, oh fiddle, he's reached my middle,
He's reached my middle
Oh heck, oh heck, he's up to my neck,
He's up to my neck
Oh dread, oh dread, he swallowed my.... schlirppp!

4. _ It's Raining
It's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring
Bumped his head and he went to bed
And he couldn't get up in the mornin'
Rain rain, go away, come again some other day.
(spoken)
"hey i got an idea ... we could all play hide and go seek inside,
Now everybody hide and i'll be it!"
Star light, star bright,
First star i see tonight,
Wish i may, wish i might,
Have the wish i wish tonight.
It's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring
Bumped his head and he went to bed
And he couldn't get up in the mornin'
Rain rain, go away, come again some other day.
Five ten fifteen twenty.
Twenty-five thirty. thirty-five forty.
Lady bug, lady bug, fly away home.
Your house is on fire, and your children,
They will burn, they will burn.
It's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring
Bumped his head and he went to bed
And he couldn't get up in the mornin'
Rain rain, go away, come again some other day.
Forty-five fifty. fifty-five sixty.
Sixty-five seventy. seventy-five eighty.
Won't be my father's jack,
No i won't be my mother's jill,
I'll be a fiddler's wife and fiddle when i will.
It's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring
Bumped his head and he went to bed
And he couldn't get up in the mornin'
Rain rain, go away, come again some other day.
Eighty-five, ninety. ninety-five, a hundred.
(spoken) anyone round my base is it! ready or not, here i come!
(spoken) allee allee in free!

And we can stay all day!

6. _ Leatherwing Bat
"i" said the little leatherwing bat
"i'll tell to you the reason that
The reason that i fly by night
Is because i've lost my heart's delight."
Refrain:
Howdy dowdy diddle-dum day
Howdy dowdy diddle-dum day
Howdy dowdy diddle-dum day
Hey le lee-lee lie-lee low
"i" said the blackbird sittin' on a chair
"once i courted a lady, fair.
She proved fickle and turned her back
And ever since then i've dressed in black."
(refrain)
"i" said the woodpecker sittin' on a fence
"once i courted a handsome wench
She got scared and from me fled
And ever since then my head's been red."
(refrain)
"i" said the little turtle dove
"i'll tell you how to win her love
Court her night and court her day
Never give her time to say o-neigh!"
(refrain)
"i" said the bluejay and away he flew
"if i were a young man i'd have two
If one were faithless and chanced to go
I'd add the other string to my bow"
(refrain)
Hey le lee-lee lie-lee low

7. _ I Have A Song To Sing, O!
I have a song to sing, o! (sing me your song, o!)
It is sung to the moon by a love-lorn loon
Who fled from the mocking throng-o
It's the song of a merry man moping mum
Whose soul was sad and whose glance was glum
Who sipped no sup and who craved no crumb
As he sighed for the love of a lady.
Refrain:
Hey-di, hey-di, misery me, lack-a-day-de
He sipped no sup and he craved no crumb
As he sighed for the love of a lady.
I have a song to sing, o! (what is your song, o?)
It is sung with the ring of the songs maids sing
Who loved with a love life-long-o
It's a song of a merry maid peerly proud
Who loved a lord and who laughed aloud
At the moan of the merry man moping mum
Whose soul was sad and whose glance was glum
Who sipped no sup and who craved no crumb
As he sighed for the love of a lady.
(refrain)
I have a song to sing,o! (sing me your song, o)
It is sung to the knell of a church-yard bell
And a doleful dirge ding-dong o
It's a song of a popinjay bravely born
Who turned up his noble nose with scorn
At the humble merry maid peerly proud
Who loved a lord and who laughed aloud
At the moan of a merry man moping mum
Whose soul was sad and whose glance was glum
Who sipped no sup and who craved no crumb
As he sighed for the love of a lady.
(refrain)
I have a song to sing, o!
(i have a song to sing)
I have a song to sing-o!
It is sung with a sigh and a tear in the eye for it tells of a righted wrong-o
It's a song of the merry maid once so gay
Who turned on her heel and tripped away
From the peacock popinjay bravely born
Who turned up his noble nose with scorn
At the humble heart that he did not prize
So she begged on her knees with downcast eyes
For the love of the merry man moping mum
Whose soul was sad and whose glance was glum
Who sipped no sup and who craved no crumb
As he sighed for the love of a lady.
Hey-di, hey-di, misery me, lack-a-day-de,
His pains were o'er and he sighed no more
For he lived in the love of a lady.
Hey-di, hey-di, his pains were o'er
And he sighed no more
For he lived in the love of a lady.

8. _ All Through The Night
Sleep my child and peace attend thee, all through the night.
Guardian angels god will send thee, all through the night.
Soft the drowsy hours are creeping,
Hill and dale in slumber steeping
I, my loved one, watch am keeping, all through the night.
Angels watching ever 'round thee, all through the night
In thy slumbers close surround thee, all through the night
Soft the drowsy hours are creeping,
Hill and dale in slumber steeping
I, my loved one, watch am keeping, all through the night.

9. _ Puff, The Magic Dragon
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee,
Little jackie paper loved that rascal puff,
And brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff. oh
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee,
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee.
Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched on puff's gigantic tail,
Noble kings and princes would bow whene'er they came,
Pirate ships would lower their flag when puff roared out his name. oh!
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee,
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee.
A dragon lives forever but not so little boys
Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys.
One grey night it happened, jackie paper came no more
And puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar.
His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain,
Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane.
Without his life-long friend, puff could not be brave,
So puff that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his cave. oh!
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee,
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee.

10. _ Christmas Dinner
And it came to pass on a christmas evening
While all the doors were shuttered tight
Outside standing, a lonely boy-child
Cold and shivering in the night.
On the street every window
Save but one was gleaming bright
And to this window walked the boy-child
Peeking in saw candlelight.
Through other windows he had looked at turkeys
And ducks and geese and cherry pies
But through this window saw a gray-haired lady
Table bare and tears in her eyes.
Into his coat reached the boy-child
Knowing well there was little there
He took from his pocket his own christmas dinner
A bit of cheese, some bread to share.
His outstretched hands held the food and they trembled
As the door it opened wide
Said he "would you share with me christmas dinner?"
And gently said she "come inside."
The gray-haired lady brought forth to the table
Some glasses to their last drop of wine
Said she "here's a toast to everyone's christmas,
And especially yours and mine!"
And it came to pass on that christmas evening
While all the doors were shuttered tight
That in that town the happiest christmas
Was shared by candlelight.

11. _ The Marvelous Toy
When i was just a wee little lad,
Full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night
And gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was
With many colors bright
And the moment i laid eyes on it,
It became my heart's delight.
Refrain:
It went "zip" when it moved and "pop" when it stopped,
"whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and i guess i never will.
The first time that i picked it up
I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other,
Then i twisted its lid
And when i set it down again, here is what it did:
(refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when i looked where it had gone
It wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed
'cause he knew that i would find,
When i turned around my marvelous toy
Would be chugging from behind.
(refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems,
I have my own little boy
And yesterday i gave to him
My marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is
But he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)

12. _ Make-believe Town
In make-believe town,
In make-believe town,
In make-believe town,
Oh, yes,
In make-believe town,
Oh, make-believe town,
Oh, make-believe town
Is a mess
It's a mess because all the animals walk,
It's a mess because they all draw with chalk,
It's a mess because all the hunting hounds...
Chorus:
Go no more a-hunting, a-hunting, a-hunting
Go no more a-hunting,
But that's in animal make-believe town.
Well the monkey who lives
In make-believe town
He loves to drink saffron tea
He sits on the veranda
And talks to the panda
And then he jumps into the sea
He jumps into the sea because it is green
He jumps into the sea to visit the queen
He jumps into the sea because the hunting hounds...
(chorus)
Well the elephant lives
In make-believe town
And he is a wise old man
He studied in books
Where nobody looks
Because they're all covered with jam
He is wise because of his blue shirt of lace
He is wise because of his wrinkly face
He is wise because all the hunting hounds...
(chorus)
Well the magician who lives
In make-believe town
He can do any trick in the book
He makes little girls giggle
And tadpoles twiggle
And rides through the sky on his hook
He rides because the good fairy is there
And he rides because he has long purple hair
He rides because all the hunting hounds...
(chorus)
Well the children that live
In make-believe town
They are good friends like you and me
They can go where they wish
And hide in a dish
And climb in the sassafras tree
They are friends because they all love one another
They are friends because they all sing to each other
They are friends because all the hunting hounds...
(chorus)
