A Ditty Daddy Song

If...you… want to hear a ditty that is really pretty witty
Come and sing and dance along to a Ditty Daddy song
From the country to the cities, all the doggies and the kitties
Want to sing and dance along to a Ditty Daddy song

We sing about what fun it is just to be a kid
And when we do we’re learning too, just like our parents did.

Whooo-ooo... wants to hear a ditty that is really pretty witty
And to sing and dance along to a Ditty Daddy song
A bug that’s itty bitty, a Congressional Committee
Want to sing and dance along to a Ditty Daddy song

We sing about the things we do as we learn and grow
The lessons in our Ditty songs are what all kids should know

If You…want to hear a ditty that is really pretty witty
Come and sing and dance along to a Ditty Daddy song
If you sing like Conway Twitty, then it sure would be a pity
If you didn’t sing along to a Ditty Daddy song

A Ditty Daddy song will help to get you through the day
It’s fun to sing, and it will bring good thoughts along the way

If… you… want to hear a ditty that is really pretty witty
Come and sing and dance along to a Ditty Daddy song
From the country to the cities, all the doggies and the kitties
Want to sing and dance along to a Ditty Daddy song
A Ditty...........Daddy..............Soooooong!

I Put My Toys Away

When I am finished playing, I know just what to do,
It’s not that tough, to grab my stuff, and put my toys away.

I put my toys away, I put my toys away,
I've had my fun, and now I'm done, I put my toys away.

If the floor stays messy, someone could get hurt,
Like a machine, I'll make it clean, and put my toys away.

I put my toys away, I put my toys away,
I've had my fun, and now I'm done, I put my toys away.

Everyone's so proud of me, I did it all by myself,
The room is neat, I can't be beat, 'cause I put my toys away.

I put my toys away, I put my toys away,
I've had my fun, and now I'm done, I put my toys away.

I put my toys away, I put my toys away,
I've had my fun, and now I'm done, I put my toys away.

No Such Thing

I’m lying here awake, just too afraid to sleep,
There are shadows on the walls, and something starts to creep.
Is a monster in my closet, or only in my mind?
Is he underneath the bed, or standing right behind?

I’m not afraid of monsters, ‘cause there’s no such thing,
The floor may creak, a door may squeak,
But I feel no fear, and it’s totally clear, that there’s no such thing.

Now I’m going to be brave, it’s all just in my head
I’ll change those scary thoughts, to funny ones instead!

Like 4 plaid penguins playing with my toys
And 3 squeaky squirrels making lots of noise
And 2 baby bunnies bouncing on the bed
And 1 purple pony standing on my head (Neigh!)

I’m not afraid of monsters, ‘cause there’s no such thing,
The floor may creak, a door may squeak,
But I feel no fear, and it’s totally clear, that there’s no such thing.

Imagination’s fun, my mind’s got wings,
Instead of ghosts and goblins, I’ll make up silly things.

Like 6 pudgy pandas dancing on the floor
5 clever kittycats who can count to 4
3 fully feathered cows who are flying by
2 tiny tooty-fruity hippopotami... HIPPOPOTAMI! (high pitched)

I’m not afraid of monsters, ‘cause there’s no such thing,
The floor may creak, a door may squeak,
But I feel no fear, and it’s totally clear, that there’s no such thing.

Pick Your Clothes, Not Your Nose

When I wake up in the morning, and rise to greet the day
I think about my breakfast and stuff I’ll do today

But I’m still in my pajamas and it feels a little strange
Should I try to fix it, am I old enough to change?

I look inside my dresser, so many clothes to choose
Not sure if I can do this, I’m feeling so confused

But a little voice inside me, sings a little song
It tells me to have courage, try my best and be strong.

Chorus:
Pick your clothes, not your nose, sing this silly little rhyme
You can do it, just get through it, it’ll be easier next time.
Pick your clothes, not your nose, dress in colors that you choose
If you’re allowed, make Mom proud, show her how you tie your shoes

Buttons, zippers, laces. so much to pull and tie
Maybe I can’t do this, should I quit, should I cry?

Then I hear that voice again , and that funny little song
It tells me to keep trying, and I know I won’t go wrong

Repeat Chorus

My shirt has a tag to show the back like I’ve been taught
Two socks for two feet, this is easier than I thought.

I like to dress myself and choose the things I want to wear
I also won’t forget to brush my teeth and comb my hair.

Repeat Chorus twice

Use Words

Use your words, not your hands, when things don't go your way,
You'll feel better tomorrow, and have a happier today.

When someone makes you angry, and your face is turning red,
You want to raise your hand, and punch him in the head.

But using hands is wrong, just try to think ahead,
You'll be super strong, if you use your words instead.

Use your words, not your hands, when things don't go your way,
You'll feel better tomorrow, and have a happier today.

If some girl takes your toy away, and isn’t playing fair,
She always seems to get her way, and you want to pull her hair.

If you're having trouble dealing, don't slap or pinch or poke,
Just tell her how you're feeling, because hitting is no joke.

Use your words, not your hands, when things don't go your way,
You'll feel better tomorrow, and have a happier today.

If your sister is annoying or your brother's making fun,
You can't have cake for dinner and your homework isn't done.

It's OK to get angry but you're not allowed to strike.
Just talk about your problems and you'll find we're all alike!

Use your words, not your hands, when things don't go your way,
You'll feel better tomorrow, and have a happier today.
Yes, you'll feel better tomorrow, and have a happier today.

The Doctor

My nose is runny, my throat is red, my head feels funny, and I’m stuck in bed.
I feel so weak, I feel so bad, and when I speak, I sound like my dad.

The doctor, he can fix me up, check my ears and cure my cough.
The doctor, he knows what to do, So I’ll be better and back at school.

I get food served on a tray, but I can’t taste it - anyway.
I miss my teacher, I miss my friends. Won’t this fever - ever end?

The doctor, he can fix me up, check my ears and cure my cough.
The doctor, he knows what to do, So I’ll be better and back at school.

Spoken: Oooh, baby, I’m sick as a dog. A hound dog! I got a hunka-hunka-burning throat!
Oh, this fever got me all shook up. Oh Momma!

My cold is gone, it’s a brand new day. I get to leave the house and play.
On my bike I take a ride, it’s great to be - back outside.

The doctor, he sure fixed me up, checked my ears and cured my cough.
I need my doctor, now and then, to feel just like myself again.

March

Ladies and Gentlemen and children of all ages, it’s time to step right up
and join the parade. Everybody follow along!

When I want to move around, I lift my legs up and down
And march two, three, four, march two, three, four
I swing my arms back and forth, and stamp my feet on the floor
And march two, three, four, march two, three, four

Marching is so easy you can do it anywhere
But if you march at night, you’ll give your folks a scare

Even if you’re feeling blue, marching is the thing to do
Just march two, three, four, march two, three, four
I can march all day long, feeling happy, being strong
Just march two, three, four, march two, three, four

Marching is so fun it really makes me smile
I bet that I can march for a hundred million miles

Marching makes me feel so good, I’m exercising like I should
Just march two, three, four, march two, three, four
March two, three, four, march two, three, four

And now, we need everyone who hasn’t joined us to get up out
of your seat! It’s time to move your feet! It’s time to march!

Everybody march along, step in time and sing this song
And march two, three, four, march two, three, four
Now we made our own parade, so everybody yell “hoo-ray!”
And march two, three, four, march two, three, four

Just march two, three, four, march two, three, four
March two, three, four, march two, three, four, MARCH!

Read a Book

Book, book, read a book, read a book, book
Ooooooooh!

I like to spend my day doing lots of different stuff,
I love to run, I love to jump, although climbing can be tough

I've been a lot of places and I've seen a lot of things,
I've been to zoos, I’ve been to parks, and I really like the swings.

But when I want to travel to places far away,
Don't need a car, don't need a boat, or a spaceship, or a plane.

I just open up a book, I'm so glad I learned to read,
I can fly across the sky, imagination's all I need.

Chorus:

Read a book, read a book, a great tale is all it took,
Takes me to towns I’ve never been, and brings me home again.

Read a book, read a book, once you try it you’ll be hooked,
You might even say, it’s the best part of your day.

When I was just a babe, I looked at pictures on the page,
Then I learned the alphabet and the sound each letter made.

With practice I got better, now I can read alone,
My parents are so proud of the improvement that I’ve shown.

Repeat Chorus

Every night before bedtime, its reading time I know,
And the tales are more exciting than any TV show.

As I’m reading all the words, I see the story in my mind,
I can travel anywhere and great adventures I can find.

Repeat Chorus.

Believe in Yourself

Why doesn’t anybody like me? Why don’t I have any friends?
The only other kids that want to play with me are the ones that are just pretend.

I sit all alone at recess, and watch all the kids run free
They’re playing ball and choosing sides, but noone ever, ever picks me

My mom said “Believe in yourself”, and ask the other kids to play
I’ve always been too shy to look them in the eye, but that’s all gonna change today

So I stood up and walked right over, shaking like it was a crime.
I asked to play and they said OK! Then we all had such a great time!

Now I’m friends with you, and you and you and you,
And Stu and Lou and Tyler, too.
And Michael, Ashley, Dave and Ken, Diego, Lenny, Al and Ben
And Terry, Kerry, Chris and Sam, Alyssa, Brittney, Jen, and Pam

I have more friends than I can name. My days are full of fun and games
I learned what to do, and you can too, just believe in yourself!

My Room

My room, my room, I love to be in my room
My room, my room, it’s my favorite place

Where can I find all my things? In my room
Where can I play and laugh and sing? In my room

Where do I keep lots of toys? In my room
Where can I make daytime noise? In my room

My room, my room, I love to be in my room
My room, my room, it’s my favorite place

Where can I play with all my friends? In my room
Where does the fun never end? In my room
Where do I go to bed at night? In my room
Where do I wake up sunny and bright? In my room

My room, my room, I love to be in my room
My room, my room, it’s my favorite place
My room, my room, I love to be in my room
My room, my room, it’s my favorite place

Animal Sounds

I went outside to see my dog, Spot, grabbed a ball and yelled “Hey, look what I got"
Spot turned away as if to say “Not now!”, but what came from his mouth was - "MEOW!"

What are the sounds that animals make,
If your cat starts to quack is it a mistake?
If you ask a dog to speak will he say “Bow wow”
And if they get it all wrong, should we teach them how?

I said, “Spot, you’re not a cat, look at you, you have big floppy ears and a waggily tail.
You’re a dog!” He rolled over and said “Woof! Woof!” What a smart dog!

I went down to the lake and what did I see, but a little yellow fishy looking back at me
I said "Hey fish, how do you do?" He opened his mouth and he just said “MOO!"

What are the sounds that animals make,
If your cat starts to quack is it a mistake?
If you ask a dog to speak will he say “Bow wow”
And if they get it all wrong, should we teach them how?

I said, “You’re not a cow! You like to swim and you live under water. You’re a fish!”
He blew some bubbles and swam away. What a smart little fishy!

I ran to my daddy who was in the yard, I said "Animal sounds must be really hard"
Now, you wouldn't believe just what I saw, but my dad turned to me and said "HEE HAW"

What are the sounds that animals make,
If your cat starts to quack is it a mistake?
If you ask a dog to speak will he say “Bow wow”
And if they get it all wrong, should we teach them how?

I said “You’re not a donkey! You’re my Dad!” He patted me on the head and said “What a smart boy!
I am your dad and you’re my son. So lets sing together and have some fun!”

What are the sounds that animals make,
If your cat starts to quack is it a mistake?
If you ask a dog to speak will he say “Bow wow”
And if they get it all wrong, should we teach them how?

What are the sounds that animals make,
If your cat starts to quack is it a mistake?
If you ask a dog to speak will he say “Bow wow”
And if they get it all wrong, should we teach..... them how?

Big Head Bop

When your head is heavy and it feels so big
Like a boulder sitting on a little twig
Don’t sit in a chair, or lay in bed
Get up and move that giant head.

Chorus:
Do the big head bop, do the big head bop
Move your bottom, and your top
Do the big head bop, do the big head bop
Once you start you can’t stop, doin’ the big head bop.

The big head bop is quite a site
You just swing your hips left and right
Then hold your arms out really wide
And move that head from side to side.

Chorus

If that big head makes your neck sore
Just hold it up and dance some more
For the biggest laugh you’ve ever had
Teach this dance to Mom and Dad!

Chorus

Instrumental verse <spoken>
That’s the way to do it! Looking great! Move that big head! Alright!

Now you know this crazy dance
I’m glad you gave this bop a chance
Just remember what I said
And move that big, gigantic head.

Chorus

Chorus repeats

Change Me

Last night’s dinner was really yummy, when peas and carrots went in my tummy,
But they came out the other end, and now I’m starting to offend.

Change me, change me, change me please, I’m begging on my hands and knees,
This heavy diaper weighs me down, it’s full of something big and brown.
My last meal made me explode, so change me please and lighten my load.
Change me, change me, change me please, yeah.

I was running around, happy and hyper, when something fell into my diaper,
Now it’s so hard for me to play, please take this mess away.

I’m so full of number twos, when I sit down, I start to ooze
Please pick me up and make me clean, I think I might have passed my spleen..

My Bubbly Bubble Bath

My bubbly bubble bath, my bubbly bubble bath
I love to play, every day, in my bubbly bubble bath
I love to play, every day, in my bubbly bubble bath

Mommy fills the tub, and adds the magic suds
I jump right in and start to swim
In my bubbly bubble bath

My bubbly bubble bath, my bubbly bubble bath
I love to play, every day, in my bubbly bubble bath
I love to play, every day, in my bubbly bubble bath

I wash my hands and feet, lather and repeat
I rinse and then, I’m clean again
In my bubbly bubble bath

My bubbly bubble bath, my bubbly bubble bath
I love to play, every day, in my bubbly bubble bath
I love to play, every day, in my bubbly bubble bath

There’s bubbles everywhere, they’re floating in the air
I make them pop, ‘til Mom says “Stop!”
In my bubbly bubble bath

My bubbly bubble bath, my bubbly bubble bath
I love to play, every day, in my bubbly bubble bath
I love to play, every day, in my bubbly bubble bath

It always ends too soon, I look just like a prune
As I get dry I say “bye bye”
To my bubbly bubble bath

My bubbly bubble bath, my bubbly bubble bath
I love to play, every day, in my bubbly bubble bath
I love to play, every day, in my bubbly bubble bath
I love to play, every day, in my bubbly bubble bath

When I was a baby I had my toys, I didn’t share with other girls and boys
I didn’t know it was the thing to do, then I got older and learned the truth

I’m so glad I learned to share My friends all know that I play fair
Hog my toys, I wouldn’t dare. Good friends all know how to share

Friends come over my house to play, we’re going to have some fun today
But it won’t be a real good time, if they can’t touch things that are mine

I’m so glad I learned to share My friends all know that I play fair
Hog my toys, I wouldn’t dare. Good friends all know how to share

Babies don’t know what to do, but I am older and know the rules
I want to be a real good friend, so play dates will come back again

I’m so glad I learned to share My friends all know that I play fair
Hog my toys, I wouldn’t dare. Good friends all know how to share

Good friends all know how to share
Good friends all know how to share

The Brightest Star

The sun always rises in the east, the sun always sets in the west.
The sun gives heat to everyone, and you, my son, are the best
Yes, you, my son, are the best

It’s I before E except after C, there are 26 letters in all
12 months has a year, and you my dear, are my spring, summer, winter, and fall
You’re my spring, summer, winter and fall

You can have all the toys and the games in the world, you can have all the money too
But your happiness depends on this; who you love and who loves you
Who you love and who loves you

There are 7 continents on our planet, and 7 major seas
It’s 25,000 miles around the Earth, but you’re the world to me
Yes, you’re the world to me

There are billions of stars up in the sky, some are close and some are far
At night their light starts to twinkle and glow, but you’re the brightest star
Yes, you’re the brightest star

You can have all the toys and the games in the world, you can have all the money, too
You can have the toys Or you can play with other girls and boys
But your happiness depends on this; who you love and who loves you
But your happiness Depends on who loves you
Who you love and who loves you

You can have all the toys and the games in the world, you can have all the money, too
You can have the toys Or you can play with other girls and boys
But your happiness depends on this; who you love and who loves you
But your happiness Depends on who loves you
Who you love and who loves you
