Earworm
Earworm

Chorus:
It’s an earworm. It’s not a wiggly worm
It’s not a squirmy worm. It’s just another term
For a song stuck in your head
Uh-oh, uh-oh Uh-oh, uh-oh Uh-oh, uh-oh
I was listening to the radio
when I heard a song I did not know
But it sounded so familiar right away
It had one of those super catchy tunes
and I knew that pretty soon
I’d be singing that song night and day
An earworm can be your favorite song,
but even that is oh so wrong
Cause too much of a good thing,
well, you know what they say
Or maybe it’s the worst song you’ve ever heard,
words so bad that it’s just absurd
But songs like this they just won’t go away
Chorus
Everywhere you go it follows you around,
when you open your mouth out comes that sound
You’re driving everyone crazy,
pretty soon you won’t have any friends
You can try to get it out of your head
by listening to something else instead
But you better watch out or it will start all over again
Chorus

There's all kinds of singing, Oh don’t you know
There’s loud and there’s soft
There’s high and there’s low
Some people sing with a rasp in their voic
Some voices are clear as a bell
But you know that it really don’t matter to m
I think all kinds of singing are swell
Sing sing aling (Sing sing aling
Sing sing along (Sing sing along)

Sunsphere
(By Molly Ledford)

I'm going to the Eifle Tower of Knoxville
Going to the Sunphere
Elevator inside, I'll take a ride
Up above the town town town
Going to the Space Needle of Knoxville
going to the Sunsphere
And when you behold the shiny and gold
Can you see me looking down down down
In 1982, the world came to visit you
Now decades later this party favor, decorates the view
I'm going to the crystal palace of knoxville
Going to the Sunsphere
It's a funny thing about human beings
we like to build up from the ground ground ground
Looking into the past, see how we thought about the future
I'm seeing a feeling
I wonder if it's still around round round
In 1982, the world came to visit you
Now decades later this party favor, decorates the view
Energy turns the world - that's what they said
Energy turns the world - that was the line
Planets circle round the sun
And the countries all came to Knoxville
In 1982, the Sunsphere was brand new
And I was 14-years old, living right down the road
When the world came here, I remember it so clear
Now we've still got the sun
The Sunsphere
The Sunsphere, the Sunsphere
ABC (The Writing Song)
(By Sean McCollough)
Download: Lyrics or Lyrics with Chords
CHORUS:
A B, ABC, ABCDEFG
H I J K LMNOP
QRS, TUV, WXYZ
A B, ABC, ABCDEFG
Somebody long ago made up the alphabet
So we could write down all the things in our head
Switch the letters all around, find yourself the perfect sound
To make the words to speak your mind leave your troubles all behind
CHORUS
Write a story, write a song, write a poem, you can’t go wrong
Write a verse in perfect rhyme, but let that verse be free sometimes
Write a novel thick and sturdy, paint a sign that’s not too wordy
Try your hand at a haiku, just seventeen syllables and you
CHORUS
Her Name Was Lady
(By Sean McCollough)
Download: Lyrics or Lyrics with Chords
Her name was lady, she was a Nubian
She had long, floppy ears, hair hangin' from her chin
She was a sweetheart, she wouldn’t hurt a flea
And she always seemed to like just hangin’ out with me
Oh lady, she was a lady, a real lady
She was a goat. She was a nanny goat
His name was Pablo, he was a Romeo
And everywhere Lady went he was sure to go
He was stinky, but Lady didn’t seem to mind
Cause he was good lookin’ and gentle and kind
Oh Pablo, he was good with the ladies, oh Pablo
He was a goat. He was a billy goat
Chorus:
Goats have personalities
Multiple mentalities
They’re kind and mean and in between
Really they’re a lot like you and me
Her name was Jackie, she had big long horns
She was mean as a snake from the day she was born
You had to watch her, you couldn’t turn your back
Or she’d sneak up behind you and whack
Oh Jackie, she was a bully, that Jackie
She was a goat, she was a bully goat
Chorus
Her name was lady, she was a Nubian
She had long, floppy ears, hair hangin from her chin
She was a sweetheart, she wouldn’t hurt a flea
And she always seemed to like just hangin’ out with me
Don't Let 'Em Get Yer Goat
(By Sean McCollough)
Download: Lyrics or Lyrics with Chords
Chorus:
Donʼt let ʻem get yer goat. Donʼt let ʻem bring you down
Donʼt let ʻem under your skin. Donʼt let ʻem make you frown
Cause it doesnʼt really matter, what other people think
As long as you like you and the things you do
Donʼt even let ʻem make you blink
I heard Johnny say to Jimmy that Sally said to Sue
That Tammy said to Tommy that she doesn't like you
Well it may be false, or it may be true
But whatever it may be, let me tell you what to do
Chorus
I saw Freddie whisper something to little Beth McGrath
Then they both looked at you, and they started to laugh
It made you feel kinda small. It made you wanna disappear
But I got something to tell you that you really ought to hear
Chorus
Well I heard about the bully. He was pushinʼ you around
He was beinʼ kinda mean, bringing everybody down
I guess you better tell a grown-up before he takes it too far
And I hope you will remember, we love you just for who you are
Chorus
Fuzzy Brown Vine (AKA Poison Ivy)
(By Georgi Schmitt)
Download: Lyrics or Lyrics with Chords
Chorus:
Poison Ivy, poison Ivy
The deadliest three leaves that you’ll ever find
And a fuzzy, fuzzy, fuzzy, fuzzy, fuzzy brown vine
Take a good look around my place
I see daffodils and buttercups and queen Ann’s lace
But what I don’t see, it takes me off guard
Is poison ivy all over the yard
Chorus
There's poison ivy down by my toes
Take a look and there it is under my nose
I turn and I run, I look back and I see
The poison ivy chasing after me
Chorus
So treat those plants with great respect
Or you'll itch from your tippy toes right up to your neck
Those little red bumps will make you itch and scratch
So keep out of the poison ivy patch
Chorus
Rag Doll
(By Greg Horne)
Download: Lyrics or Lyrics with Chords
I am a rag doll, my name is Annie
My eyes are buttons, my hair is yarn
I’ve got more stitches than a famer’s britches
And a calico dress to keep you warm
Chorus:
I am not fragile, I’m just a rag doll
And what I am used to suit you to a tee
I’m not a new one of lace and china
I’m just a rag doll, don’t you worry about me
I have been waiting here in the corner
Under the laundry, behind the door
I have been hoping that you will see me
And pick me up in your arms once more
Chorus
Carsick

Chorus:
I get carsick I don’t like it
And I swear this is real
This funny way I feel
I start achin’ I ain’t fakin’
And if you don’t believe my story
I’m afraid we’ll all be sorry
When we go to the mountains
We like to take ourselves a hike
I love the rocks, the trees, the clear blue streams
But there’s one thing I don’t like
Oh the roads they are so curvy
And even though you will be cautious
When it starts to gettin’ swervy, well I start to feelin’ nauseous
Chorus
When we go on vacation
We have to drive a long long ways
Sometimes a few hours
Can feel like a few days
I have to entertain myself
Well you’d think that would be easy
But if I read a book, just one look
And I start to feeling queasy.
Chorus
Green Means Go
(By Sean McCollough - original chant by Phil Pollard)
Download: Lyrics (There's only one chord and it's E9.)
Green means go, red means stop
I'm gonna get sick, so I think you better stop
Yield, but don't necessarily stop
Green, green, green, green, red means stop
My friend Phil, he was struck with inspiration
One day while riding in the car, on a family vacation
He started feeling kind of sick, he started looking kinda green
He wasn't sure exactly what might happen
If you know just what I mean.
But Phil, he was the kind that didn't like to say you can't
So he used his brain to distract his body
And he wrote this little chant.
Green means go, red means stop
I'm gonna get sick, so I think you better stop
Yield, but don't necessarily stop
Green, green, green, green, red means stop
Now Phil he was a drummer, he liked rhythmic syncopation
It's when there's more than one beat and a mutual relation
One might play here, and one might play there
Put 'em both together, you got a syncopated pair
Some might leave space, and some might fill it all in
Put 'em all together you got polyrhythm
Now Phil said to himself,
Hey, I could do that with these words
So he got and friends to help him out
and this is what they heard
All three lines at the same time:
Green means go, red means stop
I'm gonna get sick, so I think you better stop
Yield, but don't necessarily stop
Green, green, green, red means stop
It's kind of like a game, it takes more than one to play
So everybody pick a line and we'll be on our way
When we sing 'em all together, we ain't got nothin' to lose
It's a syncopated, polyrhythmic carsick blues
Green means go, red means stop
I'm gonna get sick, so I think you better stop
Yield, but don't necessarily stop

Let's give a party. Give it right now
You bake the cookies. I'll milk the cow
Let's give a party. Give it on me
We’re gonna make it the best you see
Oh me, oh my, oh you, zoo, zoo, zoo
I can't dance. Scared to take a chance
I can't dance. I got ants in my pants
Let's go fishin'. Down by the hole
You bring the line. I'll bring the pole
Let's go out, out to the park
Singing and dancing’, way after dark
Za zoo, za zoo, za zoo, za zoo zaz
I can't dance, scared to take a chance
I can't dance, got ants in my pants

Kidstuff Theme Song
(By Sean McCollough)
Download: Lyrics or Lyrics with Chords
Chorus:
It’s Kidstuff, no matter what your age is
Kidstuff, it’s really quite contagious
Kidstuff, you just can’t go wrong
It’s Kidstuff, you can listen on the radio
Kidstuff, it’s your very own music show
Come on, sing along
Music, music makes life better
Whether you’re 5 or 95 years old
Cause music goes with all kinds of weather
When the music’s hot, it’ll keep you warm, even when it’s cold
It’s the sound when the fiddle and the banjo play
Or when the slide trombone has something to say
The electric guitar, it can cry and moan
Oh the cello, the piccolo and the xylophone
Those African rhythms make you jump and shout
That rockin’ and rollin’ is what it’s all about
And just in case you haven’t figured it out
Let me tell you what I’m talking about
Chorus
