This Land is Your Land

This land is your land, this land is my land;

From California, to the New York Island,

From the redwood forest, to the gulf stream waters,

This land was made for you and me.

As I was walking a ribbon of highway,

I saw above me an endless skyway;

I saw below me a golden valley;

This land was made for you and me.

Chorus

I've roamed and wandered and followed my footsteps

Through the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts,

And all around me, a voice was sounding,

"This land was made for you and me."

Chorus

Jamaica Farewell

Down the way where the nights are gay
And the sun shines daily on the mountain top,
I took a trip on a sailing ship
And when I reached Jamaica, I made a stop.

But I'm sad to say, I'm on my way--
Won't be back for many a day.
My heart is down, my head is spinning around;
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town.

Sounds of laughter everywhere
And the dancing girls swaying to and fro--
I must declare my heart is there
Though I've been from Maine to Mexico.

Good Day Sunshine

Good Day Sunshine, Good Day Sunshine, Good Day Sunshine

I need to laugh and when the sun is out
I've got something I can laugh about
I feel good in a special way
I'm in love and it's a sunny day

Good Day Sunshine, Good Day Sunshine, Good Day Sunshine

We take a walk, the sun is shining down
Burns my feet as they touch the ground

Good Day Sunshine, Good Day Sunshine, Good Day Sunshine

Then we'd lie beneath the shady tree
I love her and she's loving me
She feels good, she knows she's looking fine
I'm so proud to know that she is mine.

Good Day Sunshine, Good Day Sunshine, Good Day Sunshine

Big Fat Walleye

Early in the morning

I load up my canoe

There’s only one thing

That’s gonna break my blues

That’s a big fat walleye!

Wwoooohoo!

A big fat walleye!

Woooohoo!

I got a sinker on a spoon

And I’m trollin’ from the

Morning to the late afternoon

Don’t want no beef

No chicken, no pork

I don’t want no sushi

On my fork

I want a big fat walleye!

Woooohooo!

A big fat walleye!

Woooohooo!

Don't Worry, Be Happy

Here's a little song I wrote;
You might want to sing it note for note:
Don't worry, be happy.

In every life we have some trouble,
But when you worry you make it double:
Don't worry, be happy.

Just be happy now, ooooo!

Aint got no cash; aint got no style;

Aint got no gal to make you smile,

But don't worry, be happy.

Cause when you worry, your face will frown,

And that will bring everybody down,

So don't worry, be happy.

You Are My Sunshine

You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are gray.
You'll never know dear
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.

The other night dear
As I lay sleeping,
I dreamed I held you in my arms.
When I awoke, dear,
I was mistaken,
So I hung my head and I cried.

B-A, Bay

B-A, Bay.

B-E, Bee.

B-I, Bitty Bi,

B-O, Bo.

Bitty-Bi-Bo

B-U, Boo.

Bitty-Bi-Bo-Boo-Boo-Boo.

This is just a silly song;

The words don’t mean a thing.

Never mind the silly words,

Just open up and sing: Ooooh!

B-A, Bay.

B-E, Bee.

B-I, Bitty Bi,

B-O, Bo.

Bitty-Bi-Bo

B-U, Boo.

Bitty-Bi-Bo-Boo-Boo-Boo.

I'm a Believer

I thought love was only true in fairy tales.

Meant for someone else, but not for me.

Love was out to get me.

That's the way it seemed;

Disappointment haunted all my dreams.

But then I saw her face.

Now I'm a believer.

There's not a trace

Of doubt in my mind.

I'm in love (Ooooh)

I'm a believer; I couldn't leave her if I tried.

I thought love was more or less a givin' thing,

But the more I gave, the less I got, oh yeah.

What's the use of trying?

All you get is pain;

When I wanted sunshine, I got rain!

Refrain

What's the use of trying?

All you get is pain;

When I wanted sunshine, I got rain!

Refrain

Goodnight, Sweetheart

Goodnight, Sweetheart,

Well it's time to go.

Ba da da da dum

Goodnight, Sweetheart,

Well, it's time to go.

Ba da da da dum

I hate to leave you,

But I really must say:

Goodnight, Sweetheart, Goodnight.

The Lion Sleeps Tonight

In the jungle, the mighty jungle,

The lion sleeps tonight.

In the jungle, the mighty jungle,

The lion sleeps tonight.

A wimuway, a wimuway, a wimuway, a wimuway,

a wimuway, a wimuway, a wimuway, a wimuway

A weee-oh-wee-oh-wee-oh-um-uway.

Mat the Mailman

Mat the Mailman, Mat the Mailman

Here comes Mat the Mailman.

He's a guy I'm happy to see.

Is he looking in my direction?

Does he have a letter for me?

They call him

Mat the Mailman, Mat the Mailman

Yellow Submarine

In the town where I was born,

There lived a man who sailed to sea.

And he told us of his life

In the land of submarines.

Chorus

So we sailed up to the sun

Until we found a sea of green,

And we lived beneath the waves

In a yellow submarine.

Chorus

Now our friends are all on board;

Many more of us live next door.

And as the band begins to play...

(Ba-da-da-da-dum-da-dum-da-dum)

Chorus:

We all live in a yellow submarine (ba-dum)

A yellow submarine (ba-dum)

We all live in a yellow submarine (ba-dum)

A yellow submarine (ba-dum)

Step By Step

Step by step, the longest march

Can be won, can be won.

Many stones may form an arch;

Singly none, singly none.

And by union, what we will

Can be accomplished still.

Drops of water turn the mill;

Singly none, singly none.

Oh Mr. Sun

Oh Mr. Sun, Sun, Mr. Golden Sun,

Please shine down on me.

Oh Mr. Sun, Sun, Mr. Golden Sun,

Don't hide behind that tree.

Please come down so we can play with you.

Oh Mr. Sun, Sun, Mr. Golden Sun,

Please shine down on me.

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star

Twinkle, twinkle, little star.

How I wonder what you are.

Up above the world so high.

Like a diamond in the sky.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star.

How I wonder what you are.

Happy Trails

Happy trails to you

Until we meet again.

Happy trails to you

Keep smiling until then.

Who cares about the clouds

When we're together?

Just sing a song

And bring the sunny weather.

Happy trails to you

Until we meet again.

Home On The Range

Oh, give me a home

Where the buffalo roam,

And the deer and the antelope play.

Where seldom is heard

A discouraging word,

And the skies are not cloudy all day.

Home, home on the range:

Where the deer and the antelope play.

Where seldom is heard

A discouraging word,

And the skies are not cloudy all day.
