We Rock 02:28
lyrics
buy track
It all started at the mall, we were singing, having a ball Then a crowd surrounded us, next thing you know we’re on a tour bus There were fans all over the land, we were the best “all kid” rock band From every mountain to every sea, we were on your TV We were together, WE ROCK! The best band on the planet Rock We exploded on our universal tour Fans screaming always wanting more, more, more! We traveled all around from shore to shore Paris, India and Mexico we did explore We played in New Orleans and rocked D.C. Heard all the birds go “tweet, tweet, tweet” We met Alicia Keys and Beyoncé too Chilled with Eminem and rhymed with Snoop To all of us they said, “Stay in school, be yourself and stay true!” We were together, WE ROCK! The best band on the planet Rock We exploded on our universal tour Fans screaming always wanting more, more, more!

I’m dizzy, I’m hungry, I need more money Hey Dad, I’m sad and really, really mad I’m tired, got fired and you're such a liar OUTSIDE IT’S RAINING WOULD YOU PLEASE STOP COMPAINING? I’m bored, I’m sore, I don’t want to do my chores I’m late, ask Kate, I think I’m gonna faint This dinner is gross, I don’t like my safety post OUTSIDE IT’S RAINING WOULD YOU PLEASE STOP COMPAINING? Cause it’s really not so bad You shouldn’t be so sad Take a chance you’ll be glad Of all the fun things you have… I’m healthy, I’m funny, I have enough money Hey Dad, I’m glad and really not so sad Awake, new job, I work at the coffee shop OUTSIDE IT’S RAINING BUT I’M NOT COMPLAINING! I have lots to do, I’m not feeling blue My chores are done and now it’s time for fun I’m early, ask Shirley I’m a happy safety twirling OUTSIDE IT’S RAINING BUT I’M NOT COMPLAINING, ANYMORE!

All the little ladies, All the little ladies, All the little ladies, All the little ladies Put your hands up, Put your hands up, Keep your head up, Keep your head up All the little men, All the little men, All the little men, All the little men Put your hands up, Put your hands up, Keep your head up, Keep your head up I’m up at school, feeling cool, doing my own little thing Walking down the hall, I trip and fall, everyone stares at me As they stare I don’t care, I stand on my own two feet I start to laugh, they join in, everyone is laughing with me If you don’t like it then you shouldn't make fun of me If you’re my friend then you should stand up for me Little ladies, little men! Don’t be mean! Oh oh oh... All the little ladies, All the little ladies, All the little ladies, All the little ladies Put your hands up, Put your hands up, Keep your head up, Keep your head up All the little men, All the little men, All the little men, All the little men Put your hands up, Put your hands up, Keep your head up, Keep your head up I was hangin’ outside, waiting for a ride, playing with all my friends They picked teams, no one picked me, I stood all alone again I looked around and I found someone else standing alone We started to run, had so much fun, 'til it was time to go home. If you don’t like it then you shouldn't make fun of me If you’re my friend then you should stand up for me Little ladies, little men! Don’t be mean! Oh oh oh...

Friends 03:59
lyrics

CHORUS My friends, we’ll be together forever Boys may come and go but I want you to know My friends, if you ever need me I’ll cross every mountain and sea Forever you’ll be my friends The times we share they fly right by Days turn to nights, we laugh until we cry We share secrets we share good times I know that we’ll have this for the rest of our lives CHORUS Remember when we stayed up all night And talked about the things that didn’t feel so right By the time the morning came We figured it all out and worked through the pain CHORUS We dance, we sing We play when the school bell rings Did you get my note today? It had something to say, about the sub from Monday. We talk on the phone, for hours we’re never alone Sometime we fight but it’s always all right in the end 'Cause you're all … CHORUS

Don’t throw trash in the water Use old stuff again Before you recycle your paper turn it over and Use it for scrap and doodlin' Grow veggies in the garden Be nice to the ants Use leftover water from your water bottle And feed it to your pets and to your plants Ba da da da da, Reduce! Ba da da da da, Reuse! Ba da da da da, Recycle! Ba da da da da da da da (REPEAT) Let’s take shorter showers Use rainwater for your flowers Please walk don’t drive, the earth needs to survive Let’s work together to make the world better Instrumental: kazoos & nose kazoos Ba da da da da, Reduce!

I have a good friend MATT He sat on my CAT So I called for help from the BAT Who said, “get off that CAT!” Who said, “get off that CAT!” When I cry I say BOO HOO When I sneeze I say ACHOO The cow is in the house and he says MOO Now what should I DO? Now what should she DO? CHORUS We’re rhyming all the TIME We’re feeling so FINE We’re the HoneyBirds and we FLY In the big blue SKY I might not be so COOL but I’m surely not a FOOL I’m not popular at SCHOOL But I shine like a JEWEL She shines like a JEWEL My mom was shopping at the MART I was sitting in the CART I felt something in my belly START It was the beat of my HEART It was the beat of her heart CHORUS I picked a yellow FLOWER Then I got caught in a rain SHOWER I went to France to see the Eifle TOWER I feel like I have so much POWER She feels like she has so much power I went outside to RUN I had so much FUN Shining bright as the SUN Let’s eat a cinnamon BUN Let’s eat a cinnamon BUN CHORUS

Live Our Dreams 03:36
lyrics

I have a dream that someday I will be a singer or a soccer player. Perhaps I’ll write a book, be a chef or a cook and all the leftover food I will share I have a dream that someday I will be grown up to be myself Have fun with my friends until the day ends then put our memories up on the shelf. Dream that one day your own dreams are gonna happen Be someone you want to be Don’t be a follower, be a leader. Don’t give up, let’s work together to live our dreams I have a dream that someday I will be an artist or a writer Live in a barn, have flowers in my backyard And make my own apple cider I have a dream that someday I will be rich and donate my money Have a maid to clean my dishes and make meals delicious And kiss my sweet happy honey Dream that one day your own dreams are gonna happen Be someone you want to be Don’t be a follower, be a leader. Don’t give up, let’s work together to live our dreams Be surrounded by roses Be a singer on the big stage Swim in the oceans Write my own life pages Dream that one day your own dreams are gonna happen Be someone you want to be Don’t be a follower, be a leader. Don’t give up, let’s work together to live our dreams

In the winter I blow my nose In the summer I wiggle my toes I look pretty when I wear pink bows Yo! Yo! Let’s Go! In the spring I grow daisy flowers Play outside for hours and hours We’ll be strong and not be cowards Yo! Yo! Let’s Go! Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go Let’s swim in the water, and sled in the snow Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go Let’s dance and play all day, yay, YAY, YAY, YAY! In the fall the leaves change colors In the month of May we celebrate our mothers We rock out with our sisters and brothers Yo! Yo! Let’s Go! We love our dads they’re super cool Grandma, Grandpa, you rule! Come on everybody, don’t act like a fool! Yo! Yo! Let’s Go! Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go! Let’s swim in the water, and sled in the snow Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go! Let’s dance and play all day, yay, YAY, YAY, YAY!

Come Fly With Me 03:25
lyrics

CHORUS Come fly with me on our imaginary trapeze Come fall with me, until we scrape our knees Come climb with me, ‘til all the world we see To the top, tell me what you see We hope you’re happy up there in heaven Watching us down here sippin’ slurpees from 7-11 Swinging on our swing sets, jumping on our trampolines Laughing and playing can you hear us sing? CHORUS Come fly with me on our imaginary trapeze Come fall with me, until we scrape our knees Come climb with me, ‘til all the world we see To the top, tell me what you see We think best friends in heaven are like best friends here on earth Watching over each other and playing in the dirt We’ll plant new things and together watch them grow As you stay forever young guide us as we grow old CHORUS Come fly with me on our imaginary trapeze Come fall with me, until we scrape our knees Come climb with me, ‘til all the world we see To the top, tell me what you see
