Baby's cryin' in the bassinet
Wakin' up hungry, cold and wet
Waah, waah, waah, waah, waah --
It's Gettin' Up Time!

Birdies in the nest go tweet, tweet, tweet
Callin' for a wiggly worm to eat
Tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet --
It's Gettin' Up Time!

Puppies in a basket bark and bay
Wakin' the house at the break of day
Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof --
It's Gettin' Up Time!

Furry little kittens all join in now
Callin' their mommy with a sweet meow
Meowwwwww --
It's Gettin' Up Time!

Calves in the field are hungry too
They greet the dawn with a moo moo moo
Moo, moo, moo, moo, moo --
It's Gettin' Up Time!

Frisky little colts roll up and say
Neigh, neigh, let's start the day
Neigh, neigh, neigh, neigh --
It's Gettin' Up Time!

Peep, peep, peep, baby chicks all need
Just a little dab of chicken feed
Peep, peep, peep, peep, peep --
It's Gettin' Up Time!

Ducklings in the pond say quack, quack, quack
As they go searchin' for a sunrise snack
Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack --
It's Gettin' Up Time!

Piglets in the pig pen grunt and squeal
Then snuggle up to mommy for a morning meal
Grunt, grunt, snort, eee ---
It's Gettin' Up Time

Hungry babies, babies of every kind
Wake up sayin', sayin', it's breakfast time
Waah! Tweet, tweet! Woof! Meow! Moo! Neigh!
Peep, Peep Quack, quack, Grunt, oink, snort, eeee ---
It's Getting Up Time
It's Getting Up Time!

I CAN PUT MY CLOTHES ON BY MYSELF
(Words and Music: Hap Palmer)

Chorus: I can put my clothes on by myself
I don't need help from anyone
I go through my drawer
And choose what I adore
Then proudly check the mirror when I'm done

So what if both my socks are not the same
I like getting dressed when I can choose
If one sock is white and red and one is blue instead
My feet will still stay warm inside my shoes

And when I wear orange pants with my green cap
You may think they clash with my pink shirt
But I might have a style
That helps the world to smile
And surely you'll agree that cannot hurt

Oh, I can put my clothes on by myself!
I don't need help from mom or dad
It takes more time I know
Right now I'm kind of slow
But taking time is really not so bad

'Tho I can't tie my shoes like brother can
It won't be long 'til I can do it too
'Tho I'm just learnin' how
I have no problem now
My velcro shoes will do just fine, thank you

So what if I wear winter clothes in spring
I'll just throw some off if I get hot
Who cares if I'm not dressed
the same as all the rest
On my block I'm still the proudest tot

Repeat Chorus

Yes, I can put my clothes on by myself!

TEDDY BEAR
(Words and Music: Hap Palmer)

Fuzzy soft and furry, that's my teddy bear
Born without a worry or care
Never in a hurry, rushing everywhere
When I want to play, Teddy's there

Chorus: I love to rub his chubby tummy
And hug his rolly polly body
When teddy cuddles close beside me
We always make each other happy
And when I toss him high above me
And catch him gently as a feather
I can almost hear his laughter
So glad that we can be together

When I get my toys out teddy always shares
Never fights or fusses "No fair!"
When my room's a clutter I know he won't care
Teddy bear's just glad to be there

Repeat Chorus

Never whines or whimpers when he topples down
Teddy smiles and waits 'til he's found
I dust him off and hug him, he's not hurt at all
He's my bouncy little fuzz ball!

I have hands, I have hands
Watch me clap, watch me clap
Oh, what a miracle am I

I have feet, I have feet
Watch me stamp, watch me stamp
Oh, what a miracle am I

Chorus: Oh, what a miracle
Oh, what a miracle,
Every little part of me
I'm something special
So very special
There's nobody quite like me

I have arms, I have arms
Watch me swing, watch me swing
Oh, what a miracle am I

I have legs, I have legs
They can bend and stretch, they can bend and stretch
Oh, what a miracle am I

Repeat Chorus

I have a spine, I have a spine
It can twist and bend, it can twist and bend
Oh, what a miracle am I

I have one foot, I have one foot
Watch me balance, watch me balance
Oh, what a miracle am I

Repeat Chorus

There's nobody quite like me

RAGGEDY RAG DOLL FRIEND
(Words and Music: Hap Palmer)
©Hap-Pal Music, Inc.

Bright colored rag clothes
Buttons for eyes and nose
That's my raggedy rag doll friend

Filled with just cotton
Look at it floppin'
That's my raggedy rag doll friend

You ask me, how is it movin'?
Without some muscles and bones?
I just give it some lovin'
It comes alive and I'm never alone

Old fashioned dolly
Shufflin' so softly
Then laughin' and rollin' around in the rug

Tumblin' and twirlin'
My dolly goes whirlin'
Then lands in my lap for a nap and a hug

You ask me, how does that moonface
Keep smilin' year after year?
I guess all of my huggin'
Just keeps it grinnin' from ear to ear

You ask me, how is it movin'?
Without some muscles and bones?
I just give it some lovin'
It comes alive and I'm never alone

Repeat First Verse

BABY'S FIRST
(Words and Music: Hap Palmer)

Chorus: Oh my, baby's full of life!
Gettin' so excited she's about to burst
Think I know why it's so
Everything is baby's first

Baby's first ball, Baby's first doll
Baby's first bottle, Baby's first rattle
Baby's first stuffed bear, Baby's first high chair
Baby's first tub bath, Baby's first photograph --

Repeat Chorus

It's a bright new world of sights and sounds
Baby wants to see it can't keep her down
Crawlin' on the floor and everywhere explorin'
Baby loves to move around

Baby's first steps, Baby's first steps
Baby's first pets, Baby's first pets
Baby's first bubbles, Baby's first bubbles,
Baby's first scribbles,
Baby's first pickle, Baby's first tickle
Baby's first coos, Baby's first pair of shoes

Repeat Chorus

Everything is Baby's First!

 

FINGER FOODS
(Words and Music: Hap Palmer)
©Hap-Pal Music, Inc.

Chorus: Finger foods, finger foods
I pick 'em up and pop 'em in
Smoosh 'em on my cheeks and chin
Eat 'em with a happy grin
Finger foods, finger foods
When I'm in a hungry mood
Momma won't you please include
Some good old finger foods

What to you is one big mess
To me is total happiness
I love to touch and feel the things I eat
I pat 'em with my pudgy hand
Hopin' that you'll understand
As I grow I'll stay more clean and neat

Mash potatoes, crushed tomatoes
Apple bites and bits of meat
Globs and globs of cereal
There's so much good food to eat!

Repeat Chorus

I pinch 'em with my finger tips
To smack 'em in my hungry lips
Now don't go sayin' baby's bein' rude
When I press peas in my palm
Please don't panic, just stay calm
It's my way of learning about food

Jouncing, bouncing in my seat
Daddy ring the dinner chime
Plop those pieces on my plate
Every meal's a party time!

Repeat Chorus

 

PEEK-A-BOO
(Words and Music: Hap Palmer)

Where is Sheila, where could she be?
She was here a moment ago
Where is Sheila, where could she be?
We've been looking high and low

Is she there behind the doll house quiet as a mouse?
Is she crouching in the toy box crafty as a fox?
Is she underneath the rug as cozy as a bug?
Oh where can Sheila be?

Chorus: Peek-a-Boo, Where are you?
Come out from your hiding place
Peek-a-Boo, I see you!
It's good to see you're smilin',
Gee it's been awhile and
It's good to see your smilin' face

Where is Danny, where could he be?
He was here a moment ago
Where is Danny, where could he be?
We've been looking high and low

Is he underneath the chair all curled up like a bear?
Is he hiding in a cave just like a bat behaves?
Is he soaring through the skies just like and eagle flies?
Oh where can Danny be?

Repeat Chorus

Where are Jim and Janny, where could they be?
They were here a moment ago
Where are Jim and Janny, where could they be?
We've been looking high and low

Did they fly out of the room upon a witch's broom?
Did they wave a magic wand then suddenly they were gone?
Are they here but can't be seen like ghosts on Halloween?
Oh where can Jim and Janny be?

Repeat Chorus

WASH RAG BLUES
(Words and Music: Hap Palmer)
©Hap-Pal Music, Inc.

If you can --
Get into the right frame of mind
You can have a real good time
Just takin' a bath with the
Boogie Woogie Wash Rag Blues

You just put a little rhythm in the scrub
Do a little splashin' in the tub
Put a tickle in your toes and a tingle on your nose
With the Boogie Woogie Wash Rag blues

And you can scrub a little wow in your eyebrows
And rub a little glow on your elbows
Then add a little grin to your cheeks and chin
And put a little zip in your hips

Then give a gentle squeeze to your knees
And put a little charm in your arms
Then linger for awhile on your fingers as you smile
With the Boogie Woogie Wash Rag Blues

Now put a little sparkle on your ankles
And scrub a little chuckle on your knuckles
Then rub a little bliss on your face and wrists
And any other place you might have missed

Then shine a little cheer on your ears
And put a little beat in your feet
And don't forget to check your stomach and your neck
With the Boogie Woogie Wash Rag Blues

Yeah the Boogie --
The Boogie Woogie Wash Rag Blues

GOODNIGHT STORY TIME
(Words and Music: Hap Palmer)
©Hap-Pal Music, Inc.

When dinner time is over and day is almost gone
When I've had my bath and put my warm pajamas on
I run up to my shelf and look,
for my favorite storybook
Then cuddle up in Mommy's lap

We can say good night to the moon
Travel where the wild things are
Run away with bunny
Help Pooh Bear eat his honey
Or wish upon a star

In make-believe a magic seed
Grows a bean stalk we can climb
And a giant peach can fly
With seagulls in the sky
In Goodnight Story Time

We might meet Peter Rabbit running from the farmer
Or greet King Arthur's knights in shining armor
Spy on Rumpelstiltskin weaving straw to gold
In days of old gone by

Snuggled up in Daddy's arms
Reading tales and nursery rhymes
Where Little Bo-Peep's sheep
Lead me off to sleep
In Goodnight Story Time

We can sail the seven seas
Find an island anytime
Where birds fly down to nest
And seals swim in to rest
In Goodnight Story ...
Goodnight Story Time

HURRY UP BLUES
(Words and Music: Hap Palmer)
©Hap-Pal Music, Inc.

Hurry kids, no time to play
We're runnin' late for school today
Got the got to hurry, got to worry blues
Where's my list of things to do?
Sally, where's your other shoe?
Got the got to hurry, got to worry blues

I can't keep cool when I'm keyed up
Now where'd I leave my coffee cup?
Tommy, that's not your toothbrush
Oh, how I hate this nervous rush!

Set the table, feed the fish
Careful now, don't break a dish!
Got the got to hurry, got to worry blues

Dippity dash, lickety split
Zippity zoom, dit dit dit
Razza-ma-tazz, frazz-za-ley frazz,
Skiddle-dee-daddle and all that jazz

Oh no! Come on, Freddy
It's quarter to eight and you're still not ready!

Where's your homework? Where's your lunch?
Gobble that bowl of Crispy Crunch
Got the got to hurry, got to worry blues
Wash your hands, comb your hair
The school bell's ringin' and you're not there
Got the got to hurry, got to worry blues
