Monkeys & Miracles
LYRICS!
MONKEY SEE, MONKEY DO
Monkey see, monkey do
I’d like to play a game,
How about you?
Can you see what I see?
Can you do what I do?
Would you like to
Swing in the trees?
Hang from branches by your knees?
Way up in the canopy
You will see things differently
Monkey see, monkey do
I’d like to play a game
How about you?
Can you see what I see?
Can you do what I do?
We both have our fingers and toes
I know more that you think I know
When I climb up high in a tree
I’ve got a tail that balances me
Monkey see, monkey do
I’d like to play a game
How about you?
When you see what I see
You will see everything differently
You will see everything differently!

FLOATING ZOO (A-Z)
This is a story about a
Great big boat
When it started to rain
Then it started to float
The animals all knew what to do
They all got on board
The floating zoo
Anteaters, Beavers, Cats and Dogs
Great big Elephants
Tiny little Frogs
Goats and Horses, Iguana’s too
Everybody’s here on
The floating zoo
Jaguars jumping over Kangaroos
Lions, Monkeys swinging
From the roof
Nightingales, Owls and
Peacocks blue
Everybody’s here on
The floating zoo
The animals all knew what to do
Everybody’s here on
The floating zoo
Quail and Roosters
“cockle doodle doo!”
Snails and Tigers, Unicorns too!
Vipers and Weasels
FoXes, Yaks, Zebras
Everybody’s here on
The floating zoo
The animals all knew what to do
Everybody’s here on
The floating zoo
Sun came out
A beautiful day!
Rainbow shone to light the way
The animals all knew what to do
They all came out of
The floating zoo
They all came out of
The floating zoo
They all came out of
The floating zoo
They all came out!
(Unicorns are true?)

At the Planetarium
We had lots of fun
We saw planet earth
Circle round the sun
At the Planetarium
There waslots to do
We learned about the planets
You can too!
Mercury, Venus, Earthand Mars
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, the dwarf planet
(he he he, ha ha ha)
At the Planetarium
We saw lots of stars
The Hubble telescope’s
Pictures are
More beautiful than
Van Gogh’s Starry Night
Deep space canvas
Brilliant light
Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, the dwarf planet
(he he he, ha ha ha)
Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto the dwarf planet

Deep in outer space
Each one has its place
Spinning over head
While we’re sleeping in our beds
Nothing is by chance
See those planets
Dance, dance, dance!
Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, the dwarf planet
(he he he, ha ha ha)
Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto the dwarf planet

Nothing is by chance
See those planets dance!
See those planets
Dance, dance, dance!
See those planets
Dance, dance, dance!
See those planets dance!

FAST
There’s a fast train
There’s a fast train coming
There’s a fast train
There’s a fast train coming
It zooms right by me
Down the track
Rush of wind and
Clickety clack
Schedule says it’s
Coming back
(Whou ooooouuuuuuu)
Fast, Fast
There’s a fast plane
There’s a fast plane coming
There’s a fast plane
There’s a fast plane coming
Loopdy loop up in the sky
Trail of cloud
It leaves behind
Can you hear it flying by?
(Whirl, whirl, whirl)
Fast, Fast
There’s a fast car
There’s a fast car coming
There’s a fast car
There’s a fast car coming
Cruises by the centre line
Shiny chrome and
Bright head lights
Can you hear it driving by?
Vroommmmmmm….
Fast, Fast, Woo Who, Fast

CASTLE OF SAND
I built a castle of sand
I built a castle of sand
Down by the sea
There on the beach
I built a castle of sand
I built a castle of sand
Down by the sea
There on the beach
I built a castle of sand
Then came the waves and the wind
All of it came crashing in!
I built a castle
(It was a sight to see!)
I built a castle
(Fit for her majesty)
I built a castle
(If you’d been here yesterday…)
I built a castle of sand

LIGHT IT UP!
Camping in AlgonquinPark
Have to get up in the dark
Can’t see the path ahead of me
What can I use so I can see?
(I know…a flashlight!)
Light it up! Light it up now!
Light it up! Light it up now!
There is a boat lost at sea
I will shine my bright light beam
Over the water, through the fog
Can you tell me what I’m called?
(I know…a lighthouse!)
Light it up! Light it up now!
Light it up! Light it up now!
Light it up! Light it up!
Light it up! Light it up!
If I have a friend
Who’s feeling blue
There is one thing I can do
I carry it with me place to place
Until it shows up on my face
(I know!… It’s a smile!)
Light it up! Light it up now!
Light it up! Light it up!
Light it up! Light it up!
Light it up! Light it up!
Light it up! Light it up now!

BLACK LIGHTNING
There’s a legend the cowboys tell
Mystery Horse untamed
A Mustang black as coal
Black Lightning was his name
See him up on
The mountain range
Way down low by the river’s edge
Blink your eye
Never see him again
No one can catch Black Lightning
He runs as fast as the wind
If you hear the sound
Of thunder coming
You’ll know
Black Lightning rides again
There was a cowboy
Thought he’d try
To make a hurricane his friend
Threw a lasso
Around Lightning’s neck
Just can’t tame the wind
He held on over rocks and stones
Grassy plains where buffalo roam
He let go, never tried it again
No one can catch Black Lightning
He runs as fast as the wind
If you hear the sound
Of thunder coming
You’ll know
Black Lightning rides again
He rides again!

MIRACLES
A rainbow, rainbow, rainbow
Rainbow is beautiful
I like the colors it brings
A humming bird, humming bird humming bird, humming bird
Is wonderful
It has the quickest of wings
All these things are miracles
The more I look, the more I see
From the smallest to the greatest
These are miracles
Just like you and me
A sunrise, sunrise, sunrise
Sunrise, is glorious
I like the warmth that it brings
A caterpillar, caterpillar, caterpillar caterpillar’s magical
When it opens its butterfly wings
All these things are miracles
The more I look, the more I see
From the smallest to the greatest
These are miracles
Just like you and me
Do you believe in miracles?
Deep in my heart, I really do
When the impossible
Becomes possible
That’s a miracle, just like me and you
A thundercloud, thundercloud thundercloud, thundercloud
Is rumbling
I like the rain that it brings
A honey bee, honey bee, honey bee honey bee is circling
To add to the sweetness of things
All these things are miracles
The more I look, the more I see
From the smallest to the greatest
These are miracles
Just like you and me
Just like you and me
Just like you and me
Just like you and me
Just like you and me
