A Hippo in My Locker
I've got a hippo in my locker.
I've got a penguin in my shoe. I've got an aardvark in my bathtub. He's using up my shampoo! I've got a tiger in my closet, and there's a tree-toed sloth in there, too. Well, there's a panda who's hiding under my bed. I think I've got a whole zoo! Where did they come from? What can I do? Maybe I should charge admission to my very own zoo! That's what I'll do! I've got a mongoose in my driveway. I've got a tortoise in my school. I've got a gecko in my backpack. He's really kinda cool! I've got an ostrich in my dresser, an armadillo lives in there, too! There's a koala who's hanging onto my bed. I'm sure I've got a whole zoo! Where did they come from? What can I do? Maybe I should charge admission to my very own zoo! Where did they come from? What can I do? Maybe I should charge admission to my very own zoo! That's what I'll do! That's what I'll do! Yeah! |
Fireflies
You would not believe your eyes, if ten million fireflies
lit up the world as I fell asleep. 'Cause they'd fill the open air and leave teardrops ev'rywhere. You'd think me rude but I would just stand and stare. I'd like to make my-self believe._ that planet Earth turns slowly. It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep, 'cause ev'rything is never as it seems. 'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs from ten thousand lightening bugs as they tried to teach me how to dance. A foxtrot above my head. A sock hop beneath my bed. A disco ball is just hanging by a thread. I'd like to make my-self believe._ that planet Earth turns slowly. It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep, 'cause ev'rything is never as it seems .when I fall asleep to ten million fireflies I'm weird 'cause I hate good-byes. I got misty eyes as they said fare-well. But I'll know where sev'ral are If my dreams get real bizarre 'cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar. I'd like to make my-self believe._ that planet Earth turns slowly. It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep, 'cause ev'rything is never as it seems when I fall asleep... I'd like to make myself believe that planet Earth turns slowly. It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep, because my dreams are bursting at the seams. |
