Animals Need Water  copyright 1986 Robert 'One-Man' Johnson
Animals need water, all animals need water / Some live in it, some play in it some drink it and some breathe it / But all animals need water / A fish is an animal with fins and gills / It lives in the lake, not in the hills / It doesn't breathe air it only breathes water / It does what it wants to not what it ought’ ter / A camel is a mammal with a bump on its back / He lives in the desert off the beaten track / He can go for days, then he has to drink water / He does what he wants to not what he ought’ ter / The whale is a mammal living in the sea / She breathes air just like you and me / She sings to her babies in the salty water / She does what she wants to not what she ought’ter / The elephant's the biggest mammal on the land / Uses its trunk like you use your hand / Its trunk is like a straw when it wants to drink water / It does what it wants to not what it ought’ter / The bat is the only mammal that can fly / It plays with the birds...up in the sky / It eats a lot of insects, drinks a tiny bit of water / It does what it wants to not what it ought’ter / The giraffe has a neck that's very, very long / It doesn't have a voice so it can't sing this song / I wonder what it's thinking when it tries to drink water / It does what it wants to not what it ought’ter / Humans are animals that like to think / Their skin is yellow, red or brown or black or pink / They live on the land but they play in the water. / They do what they ought’ ter

Who Can Make a Snowman?  copyright 1991 Robert 'One-Man' Johnson
Who can make a snowman? / I can! She can! She can make a snowman! / First you make a ball of snow, Roll it up and watch it grow / Then you make another ball. Now your snowman's very tall / Who can make a snowman? / I can! He can! He can make a snowman! / Next we add two eyes of coal and a hat that's very old / Carrot or an orange nose draw a smile that really show / Who can make a snowman? / We can! They can! They can make a snowman! / A scarf will keep the snowman warm even in a snow storm / Button's down his front are last  / Wow! Our snowman's finished fast! / Who can make a snowman? / We can! We all can! We all can make a snowman! / Late at night we'll fly away oh! what lovely games we'll play / But next morning all our fun melted by the morning sun / Let's make another snowman! / We can! we can! we can make a snowman! / We can! we can! we can make a snowman!

What's the Matter With Matter?  copyright 1991 Robert 'One-Man' Johnson
What's the matter with matter? / Solid, liquid or gas / We know that everything is matter, / And everything that's matter has mass / One kind of matter is liquid / Like things we drink from a glass / They spill and pour, flow on the floor, / They don't keep their shape, just like gas / Another kind of matter is gas / Like the air we breathe in and out / Fish get their air from the liquid that they / live in / Whales blow air through their spout / Solids keep their sizes  / Solids keep their shapes / Solids are things like cars and cameras / And books and apples and apes

The Song of the Whales  copyright 1991 Robert 'One-Man' Johnson
I’d like to sing a song about a rare and wondrous beast / An animal of beauty and distinction / The world’s largest mammal and the keeper of the sea / Though man has forced it slowly toward extinction / From Jonah in the bible to old Ahab's Moby Dick / The whale has been romanticized in story and in song / Now its days are numbered as the modern fishing fleets / Chase them though the seven seas / Killing endlessly, with ease although / The youngest child realizes that this must be wrong / chorus: / I wonder what the whales sing as they sadly swim along / If we could understand their song / Would we want to sing along / What do mom and dad sing to the baby by their side / As bull and cow and calf go on their underwater ride / We watch our world changing with its endless ups and downs / Pollution of our land and sea and air / The animals all disappear and we're not far behind / And people just don't really seem to care / But I think the whales realize and so their song is sad / Their mournful noises echo through the waves / If they could just communicate they'd try to change our ways / And maybe life just wouldn't be so bad / chorus:

The Plant Song  copyright 1991 Robert 'One-Man' Johnson
Let's sing a song about plants. / Let's not sing about ants. / Let's not sing about the birds and bees. / Let's sing a song about plants. / The roots hold up the stem. / The stem holds up the leaves. / The roots drink water from the earth. / Flowers turn into seeds. / Sometimes we eat the stems. / Sometimes we eat the roots. / Sometimes we eat the seeds and leaves. / Sometimes we eat the fruit. / Carrots and beets are roots. / Beans and peas are seeds. / Apples and pumpkins and pears are fruit. / Cabbage and lettuce are leaves. / Trees make houses for us. / Trees make homes for birds. / Trees make wood for toys and chairs. / Trees make paper for words.

Community Helpers  copyright 1991 Robert 'One-Man' Johnson
Community helpers, community helpers / They help you and me, it's their job don't you see / Community helpers, community helpers / They help everybody each day / Firefighters put out big fires firefighters put out big fires / They squirt with their hoses, so we don't burn our noses / Firefighters put out big fires / Postworkers bring us the mail five days a week without fail / In rain or in snow or in sleet or in hail / Postworkers bring us the mail / Doctors give us a shot it hurts, but we thank them a lot / They give us some pills to cure all our ills / We always thank doctors a lot / Dentists fix holes in our teeth dentists fix holes in our teeth / For our smiles they add braces for beautiful faces / Dentists fix holes in our teeth / Police take bad guys away "they help little kids," people say / If we're lost they find mother, big sister or brother / Police take bad guys away / Farmers grow us our food farmers grow us our food / Meat and potatoes and fruit and tomatoes / Farmers grow us our food

The Ballad of Lena Euglena  copyright 1991 Robert 'One-Man' Johnson

Lena Euglena was walking down the street / Henry Hydra looked for something to eat / Arnold Ameoba was going to the park / And it was after dark / Arnold Ameoba was thinking of romance / Dreaming of Lena he thought he'd take a chance / And go to the disco to watch his Lena dance / The disco was in France / They sat at a table and drank a soda pop / Two protozooans at the disco hop / Dancing and dancing until they had to stop / Or else they both would drop / While they were resting, they both fell asleep / The horrible hydra quietly did creep / Kidnapped miss Lena and took her to his home / So they could be alone / Arnold woke up and he saw his girl was gone / He knew right away Henry did  / Following footprints he found the hydra's den / Lena was in a pen / We know one ameoba isn't very wise / But Arnold divided and multiplied his size / He drank an Orangina and then set Lena free / They hid behind a tree / The end of the story is easy to explain / Friends will stick together / Through every joy and pain / Two sweetheart protozooans escaped on a train / Henry went down the drain

Friends  copyright 1991 Robert 'One-Man' Johnson
Stay together, play together / When it's sun, or in bad weather / That's what friends are for / Kiss each other, miss each other  / When they're mad, hiss at each other / That's what friends are for / They don't fight, they don't bite / When they're best friends, they might spend the night / Wait for each other, relate to each other  / Communicate, never hate each other / That's what friends are for / Always share, always care  / When times are tough, they might say a prayer / Band together, hold hands together,  / Just like a team they stand together / That's what friends are for / That's what friends are for

Excuse Me!  copyright 1991 Robert 'One-Man' Johnson  
Well, I was walking down the street, but I was looking at my feet / Bumped into a sweet thing, ain’t that a funny way to meet / I said, "Excuse me". I said, "Excuse me". / I said "Excuse me!" and I walked on down the road. / I was driving my car, but I was dreaming a dream / Ran up on the sidewalk. You shoulda heard the people scream! / I said, "excuse me". I said, "Excuse me". / I said "Excuse me!" and I drove on down the road. / I was at the disco dance, looking for romance / I stepped on her foot. I didn’t stand a chance but... / I said, "Excuse me". I said, "Excuse me". / I said "Excuse me!" and I danced on down the road. / I was flying my fighter plane, trying to ‘keep the peace’. / The wrong button was pushed, and all my missiles were released! / I said, "Excuse me". I said, "Excuse me". / I said "Excuse me!" and I flew on down the road. / I was working in a nuclear plant, making electricity / All the safety systems failed,  / But we’re giving it for Free...radioactivity / I said, "Excuse me". I said, "Excuse me". / I said "Excuse me!" and I walked on down the road

You and Me  copyright 1991 Robert 'One-Man' Johnson
You and me in a big old boat  / Fingers crossed so it'll stay afloat / Sailing 'round in the ocean blue  / You and me, me and you / You and me going 'round the world  / Time flies by in a crazy whirl / Doing just what we want to do  / You and me, me and you / You and me having so much fun  / Laze away the days in the noonday sun / Living life's the best thing we do  / You and me, me and you / You and me gazing at the stars  / Venus brightly making love to Mars / Evening breezes are blowing through  / You and me, me and you / You and me just trying to survive  / Don't take much to keep our love alive / No deception in two hearts so true  / You and me, me and you

sen ve ben, eski sandalda tahtaya vurki batmisin  okyanusta gidiyorduk sen ve ben, beraber

Don't Make a Dinosaur Sore  copyright 1991 Robert 'One-Man' Johnson
Don’t make a dinosaur sore at you / Don’t make him angry, no matter what you do / Smile politely and say, "how do you do?" / And you’ll never make a dinosaur sore / Brontosaurus, the giant of the forest / Is an easy going kind of guy / But he’s big as whale with a long neck and tail / If he steps on you, you’re gonna cry. / Pterodactyl looks like a bird made out of leather / Sailing through the air in any kind of weather / With teeth so sharp but nary a feather / She’ll snatch you up and take you to her nest  / Stegosaurus has a tail and his tail has a brain / But he doesn’t know enough to come out of the rain / He's not very smart, but he's big as a train  / So don’t make a Stegosaurus sore / Triceratops has three horns on his head / So offer him some leaves and keep him well fed / If he pokes you in the butt, your face’ll turn red / Never make a dinosaur sore / We’ve all heard of big boy Tyrannosaurus Rex / If he’s angry he can be a pain in our necks / When he growls at us we’ll pay him our respects  / And we’ll never make a dinosaur sore / Don’t make a dinosaur sore at you / Don’t make him angry, no matter what you do / Smile politely and say, "how do you do?" / And you’ll never make a dinosaur sore

Kneedeep Blues  copyright 1991 Robert 'One-Man' Johnson
Spoken intro:   "A thieving fox was being chased by a farmer's dogs.  He came to the edge of a river, but he didn't know how to swim.  He confessed to a frog that he was afraid and asked the frog, "How deep is the water?"  The fox drowned. "

How deep is a river? How deep is a lake? / Don't ever ask a frog, it will be a big mistake / A frog always says "Kneedeep!" / A frog always says "Kneedeep!" / A frog always says "Kneedeep!" / How deep is the ocean? How deep is the sea? / Don't ever ask a frog, he'll lie to you and me / A frog always says "Kneedeep!" / A frog always says "Kneedeep!" / A frog always says "Kneedeep!" / It isn't that the frog intends to lie / It's just that his vocabulary's weak / He didn't mean for that old fox to die / But sometimes we make problems / With the words we speak! / How deep is a bayou? How deep is a creek? / Don't ever ask a frog, he lies each time he speaks / A frog always says "Kneedeep!" / A frog always says "Kneedeep!" / A frog always says "Kneedeep!"

Waltz of the Amphibians  copyright 2000  Robert 'One-Man' Johnson
Born in a pond, hatched from an egg. / We are amphibians! / Tadpoles with tails, without any legs / We are amphibians! / Skin without feathers or  scales or hair / We are amphibians! / Swim underwater with gills to make air / We  are amphibians / Then we grow legs and our tails disappear / Tympanic membranes help us to hear / Climb to dry land without any fear / Sacs in our thoraxes change into lungs / Puff out your throats  there are songs to be sung! / Metamorphosis makes us Amphibians! / We are Amphibians! Long live amphibians! / Times of dry weather we sleep in the mud / That's Estivation! / Wintertime finds us with really cold blood / That's Hibernation! / In Springtime we wake up and don't hesitate / Down to the water to cruise for a date / We choose the right partner and merrily mate / Back in the pond, new eggs are laid / That's how every frog family is made / We are Amphibians! Long live amphibians! / We are Amphibians! Long live amphibians!

Down at the Zoo  copyright 1990  Robert 'One-Man' Johnson
Down at the zoo / together as friends just me and you / the monkey in the tree is looking down at me / and making funny faces at you / the bear is in a rage, the lion's in a cage / koalas are too cuddly to be true / it's fun to be together / down at the zoo / down at the zoo / look but be careful that you don't touch / porcupine could pick you / kangaroo could kick you / elephant could squirt you with his trunk / the tigers's gonna roar / the bird is gonna soar / a seal might even throw a fish at you / but rabbits will be wiggling their noses / down at the zoo / down at the zoo / your animal friends all wait for you / gorilla's gonna greet you / mynah bird will meet you / panda bear will offer you some sweet bamboo / turtle in his shell is gonna wish you well / hyena's gonna have a laugh at you / it's fun to be together / down at the zoo
