The Water Cycle
Water travels in a cycle . . . yes it does. (echo – yes it does)
Water travels in a cycle . . . yes it does. yes it does
It goes up as evaporation
Forms big clouds as condensation,
And falls back down as precipitation . .yes it does . yes it does!

Find A Peaceful Thought
It’s an old fashioned word and it’s been all around
Across every ocean, every mountain or town
Thinking this word is lots of fun to do
Here is what some children say when they thought it through:
Peace is a quiet countryside
Jumping on the moon
A little kitten on your lap
Peace is a happy birthday party
Is fun but sometimes boring
Is shaking hands and stuff like that.
Peace is planting flowers on a clear day
Is blowing bubbles
Is when you pray
Chorus:
So find a peaceful thought and put it in your heart
Maybe then a peaceful world could really start to grow
Peace is a furry Easter bunny
When your daddy’s funny
Sleeping with your teddy bear
Never having homework
A yummy chocolate sundae
Showing someone that you care
Peace is feeling happy, peace is feeling free
Full of magic
You and me
Chorus
So find a peaceful thought and put it in your heart
Maybe then a peaceful world could really start to grow.

Skeleton Jones
1. Skeleton Jones rattling bones
Clickety clack all the way back home
You’ve got no skin to hold you in,
You’ve got bones where your arms had been
You look kind of funny but you sound real fine
Clickety clackin keeping time
Skeleton Jones rattling boneS
2. Skeleton Jones how do you do?
It’s nice to see what’s left of you
You’ve got no hands, you’ve got no eyes
Just a black top hat and a black bow tie
But you’ve got rhythm for heaven’s sake
Listen to the bones go shimmy and shake
Skeleton Jones rattling bones
3. Skeleton Jones my old friend
I’d like to say that I knew you when
But the only time you can be seen
Is about midnight on Halloween
And then you’ll dance right out of here
But you’ll be back again next year.
Skeleton Jones rattling bones

Someone’s Gonna Use It after You
1. When you stand at the sink did you ever think
About the water going down the drain?
That it used to be in the deep blue sea
And before that it was rain!
Then it turned to snow for an Eskimo
To use in a snowball fight!
Then it traveled south till it reached your mouth
To help you brush your teeth tonight!
Chorus:
Someone’s gonna use it after you
So leave it as you’d like it when you’re through.
Cause the water, land, and air.
These are things we’ve got to share.
Someone’s gonna use it after you!
2. When you sneeze like thunder
Did you ever wonder if the air you set in motion,
Might have helped to form a tropical storm
Way out in the western ocean.
Could have been blown out of a blue whale’s spout
As it dove beneath the sea!
And now that air is in your care till you finish with your sneeze
Chorus II: Someone needs to breathe it after you
3. Like a wheel the world is turning
Forest green and sky of blue
It will turn that way forever
As the old is born anew
Chorus

The Green Shoes Walk
1. It’s a walk; it’s a certain kind of attitude!
Giving mother earth some gratitude,
For the lakes, the rivers, the trees, and the grass,
We’ve got to care about them if we want them all to last!
Pick it up, never throw it on the street,
Cause we’ve got our green shoes on our feet.
The water, the air, it’s important to us.
We’re gonna show the world that we’re serious!
Chorus:
We’re gonna walk that green shoes walk – don’t just talk about it,
Walk that walk . . . . Walk that walk!
2. See the children in the park having so much fun
We’ve got to clean it up, save it for the little ones!
In the city, in the country, all around the world,
We’ve got to build a beautiful future
For all the boys and girls!
Every day we hear the stories and it’s making us nervous
We’ve got to give the planet more than just lip service!
What’s the use of crying bout the ozone layer?
We’ve got to heal it now, don’t wait till later.
Chorus:
Walk that green shoes walk don’t just talk about it,
Walk that walk. Come on now walk, walk, walk, walk . . . . . . . walk that walk!
3. Grab your brother or your sister, don’t work alone
You can make a major difference starting here at home
Now’s the time to raise our voices.
Come on get on down and make some choices!
Recycle all your bottles and your soda cans
Don’t leave the water running when you wash your hands.
Get your friends together and plant some trees.
Bring your own bag for your groceries.
Don’t waste paper, turn down the heat.
And when it comes to driving everywhere, use your feet!
Check the package out before you pay the bill
Or most of what you buy will end up in a landfill!
Chorus:
Walk that green shoes walk; don’t just talk about it,
Walk that walk. … Walk that walk.
4. The animals and flowers and humanity
Make up the leaves and branches of our family tree
Walk that walk, walk that walk
So put some love in everything you say and do!
It’s gonna make a circle and come back to you!
Walk that walk . . . walk that walk
