GOOD MORNING LITTLE CHILDREN, WAKE UP!

Words and music by James Dague
Sung by ScribbleJayne
Good morning little children, wake up, wake up!
Good morning little children, wake up, wake up!
The sun is here, the day is here, it's time to start to move
Good morning little children, please wake up
Good morning little children, wake up, wake up!
Good morning little children, wake up, wake up!
The sun is here, the day is here, it's time to start to move
Good morning little children, please wake up
If you don't, you'll sleep all day and you'll be missed at school
Your neighbors, friends and family will wonder where you are
Sleeping all day long will be quite awkward to explain
And you'll have missed on whole day of your life
Good morning little children, wake up, wake up!
Good morning little children, wake up, wake up!
The sun is here, the day is here, it's time to start to move
Good morning little children, please wake up
ALL READY TO GO!

Sung by ScribbleJim
Pick out something to wear that's smashing
Make your bed and fix your hair up
Be sure that you find the time to eat
Make a sandwich for lunch, clean the counter
Throw in some great snack for later
Tell your mom you love her, kiss her cheek
You're all ready to go, you're all ready to go, you're all ready to go!
You're all ready to go, you're all ready to go!
A fine how do you do, bus driver
Take me to the place I'm going
Pardon me, sir, may I have this seat?
It's the funniest thing, I woke up
Knowing this would be a great day
After all, it's really up to me
I'm all ready to go, I'm all ready to go, I'm all ready to go!
I'm all ready to go, I'm all ready to go!
I'm all ready to go, I'm all ready to go, I'm all ready to go!
I'm all ready to go, I'm all ready to go!
I know, there's a world of things that I want to do and see
I know, I'm at the starting line and I'm all set, ready, to go!
You're all ready to go, you're all ready to go, you're all ready to go!
You're all ready to go, you're all ready to go!
You're all ready to go, you're all ready to go, you're all ready to go!
You're all ready to go, you're all ready to go!
DOING THE RIGHT THING ISN'T ALWAYS EASY, DOING THE EASY THING ISN'T ALWAYS RIGHT
© 2008 Rrraargh! Music (BMI)
Words and music by James Dague
Sung by ScribbleJoyce, ScribbleJim and ScribbleJayne
Good luck came bouncing out of a truck and landed flat right at my feet
It was a brown canvas bag with a whole lot of money and no one else around to see
I thought of all of the things that I could buy with that green, this had to be my luckiest day
I wanted to keep the cash, but yeah, I gave it back, 'cause I knew that it wasn't mine
Doing the right thing isn't always easy, doing the easy thing isn't always right
Doing the right thing isn't always easy, doing the easy thing isn't always right
A while back, I was sneaking a snack, but I didn't really get too far
"Cause when I climbed on a chair to get on up there, I dropped the lid from the cookie jar
Thought maybe no one would know, 'cause there was no one else home, I'd hide the pieces and the jar out of sight
But I 'fessed up when mom and dad got home, 'cause I knew it wasn't right
Doing the right thing isn't always easy, doing the easy thing isn't always right
Doing the right thing isn't always easy, doing the easy thing isn't always right
One day when we were out at play, the new kid in class was being teased
I'm at school and I want to be cool, and I sure don't want them picking on me
No doubt that the easy route would be to join the crowd and start calling names
I said to the new kid, "Hey, let's go have some fun." And we did.
Doing the right thing isn't always easy, doing the easy thing isn't always right
Doing the right thing isn't always easy, doing the easy thing isn't always right
I'M A UTILITY POLE (THE WORLD'S WORST DANCE SONG)
© 2008 Rrraargh! Music (BMI)
Words and music by James Dague
Sung by ScribbleJim
There are more than 18 million utility poles in The States
They mark the poles with a number so you can always tell their age
A pole marked with a 10 52 was make some day, October 1952
Usually when a pole hits fifty it needs to be replaced
I'm a utility pole - Put your hands at your sides!
I'm a utility pole - Stand straight and tall!
I'm a utility pole - Don't move! Don't move!
You're a utility pole, too!
Utility poles stand straight and tall, like trees
Most likely that's due to the fact that's what they all used to be
They're usually made from a chestnut, pine or a cedar tree
And most are more than 40 feet tall
Thought they all kind of look alike you'll find no two are the same
I'm a utility pole - Put your hands at your sides!
I'm a utility pole - Stand straight and tall!
I'm a utility pole - Don't move! Don't move!
You're a utility pole, too!
Often referred to as "the telephone pole," the utility pole initially provided safe passage for telegraph wires
Today, they help bring electricity, telephone service, television and the internet into our homes and businesses
With their copper wire, coaxial cable, fiber optics and analog and digital repeaters
Who knows what they'll bring us tomorrow!?
I'm a utility pole - Put your hands at your sides!
I'm a utility pole - Stand straight and tall!
I'm a utility pole - Don't move! Don't move!
You're a utility pole, too!
SCRATCHY RECORDS

Words and music by James Dague
Sung by ScribbleJoyce
What a find, searching in the basement
There's a giant pile of flat, forgotten things
Scratchy records, is what my mother calls them
And they're beautiful. There's everything
I love to play those scratchy records
With my mom in the basement, we dance around and sing
Spinning 'round and 'round in circles like the records on the turntable
Just mom and me
There's a story to go with every record
About my mom, and where she was
The things she liked, what all her friends were doing
Her favorite song, and what it means
I love to play those scratchy records
With my mom in the basement, we dance around and sing
Spinning 'round and 'round in circles like the records on the turntable
Just mom and me
Just one more song, I don't want to leave
The sights and sounds, all surrounding me
I love to play those scratchy records
With my mom in the basement, we dance around and sing
Spinning 'round and 'round in circles like the records on the turntable
Just mom and me
WITH A SMILE
© 2008 Rrraargh! Music (BMI)
Words and music by James Dague
Sung by ScribbleJim and ScribbleJoyce
Put a smile on your face and then notice the change
in people and places around you
It's pretty neat
Just hold open the door when you're out at the store
Be friendly, say "please" and say "thank you"
It's pretty neat
A little kindness and a happy face
Sure fuel the forces of positive change
And you can tell yourself, "I did that"
When everybody does something nice
The world becomes a paradise
And you can tell yourself, "I did that with a smile
He had a smile on his face and I noticed the change
in people and places around me
It was pretty neat
He held open the door when we were out at the store
He was friendly, said "please" and said "thank you"
It was pretty neat
I thought, "I want to be like that"
(A little kindness and a happy face)
I know, I want to be like that
(Sure fuel the forces of positive change)
It's so, easy to be like that, it all starts with a smile
(And you can tell yourself, "I did that")
I thought, "I want to be like that"
(When everybody does something nice)
I know, I want to be like that
(The world becomes a paradise)
It's so easy to be like that, it all starts with a smile
(And you can tell yourself, "I did that with a smile")
He smiled, I changed
It all starts with a smile
She smiled, I changed
It all starts with a smile
IT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE

Sung by ScribbleJayne
Things are looking up
I just cut my hand on a cup
I know it might sound crazy, but it's really just a graze, see
And it's already bandaged up
And it could have been worse
'Cause that cup had a chip
And if I had a drink
I would have burnt my lip
And that would have caused me
To spill hot chocolate on my pet snail
Yeah, it could have been worse
Thing are going my way
I lost five dollars today
I know that might sound funny, but it's really only money
And I didn't need it anyway
And it could have been worse
With that five in my hand
I'd be spending it now
Probably on candy
That would have made
My parents pay the dentist a million bucks
Yeah, it could have been worse
When life gives you a lemon
It could have been a lime that was thrown your way
Suddenly, the lemon seems to taste okay
What a beautiful view
I'm looking at the gum on my shoe
I know it sounds contrary, but I love the smell of cherry
And it wears off in a day or two
And it could have been worse
'Cause that gum really stuck
And if I hadn't stopped
I'd have been a goner
I would have stepped out
In front of that truck that went whizzing by
Yeah, it could have been worse
Whew!
THE SONG OF LIFE
© 2007 Rrraargh! Music (BMI)
Words and music by James Dague
Sung by ScribbleJim
Every time that I play LIFE
I chose you to be my wife
We ride around in a plastic car
Tiny pegs are all we are
It doesn't matter what job I find
You're always there, you're still my bride
Sometimes I teach, sometimes I write
A doctor, lawyer, it's all alright
'Cause I, love you
And I, love LIFE
We'll buy a house and have some kids
No more that four or they won't fit
Our girls are pink, the boys are blue
Our little girl looks just like you
We might be broke or might be rolling in dough
Where this road leads, I don't know
It's all a part of playing the game
I wouldn't have it any other way
'Cause I, love you
And I, love LIFE
How I, love you
And I, love LIFE
And on the day of reckoning,
I'll spin the wheel, bet everything
It doesn't matter if I win or lose
I always win when I'm with you
'Cause I, love you
And I, love life
WHY MUST EVERYONE TALK AT ONCE?
© 2008 Rrraargh Music (BMI)
Words and music by James Dague
Sung by ScribbleJoyce with chattering from the family
Why must everyone talk at once?
Why must everyone talk at once?
Why must everyone talk at once?
I can't understand what you say
Try taking turns and don't interrupt
When someone else has something else to say
SPARE THE ROCK, SPOIL THE CHILD
© 2007 Rrraargh! Music (BMI)
Words and music by James Dague
Sung by ScribbleJim
CD, LP, MP3, my parenting tools of the trade
Strong discipline is love, so I have to get tough
Anytime you children misbehave
(Love, love, love)
When I crank up the volume
(Love, love, love)
It hurts me more than it hurts you
Spare the rock, spoil the child
Spare the rock, spoil the child
Spare the rock, spoil the child
Spare the rock
Clean up that bedroom, don't let me catch you picking a fight
I suggest you not be late, and you better clear that plate
Or you're going to a concert tonight
(Love, love, love)
You know how much I love you
(Love, love, love)
Don't make me buy you an electric guitar
Spare the rock, spoil the child
Spare the rock, spoil the child
Spare the rock, spoil the child
Spare the rock
Time out, you're grounded!
Just wait until your mother gets home
Got me raising my voice, now you leave me know choice
Better knock it off! Crank it up! Hey! Hey! Whoo!
Spare the rock, spoil the child
Spare the rock, spoil the child
Spare the rock, spoil the child
Spare the rock
NO GOOD CAN EVER COME OF A SLEEPOVER
© 2008 Rrraargh! Music (BMI)
Words and music by James Dague
Sung by ScribbleJayne
Somebody thought they had a good idea
Somebody, somewhere, at sometime, thought they had a great idea
"Let's have the children come over at night to play!"
"And maybe give them some candy and soda while we're at it."
I've been a parent for a long time, and I feel the need to tell you
No good can ever come of a sleepover
You'll only want to stay up and play, and end up sleeping through the very next day
No good can ever come of a sleepover
You'll only want to stay up all night, and then be crabby for the rest of your life
"We'll go to sleep at an early time, mom"
"We won't be loud, no need to watch us, you won't even know we're here"
"We won't watch movies 'til five in the morning."
"We won't get silly and make poor choices, after all, we're kids"
You can keep your promises, because they're empty promises
No good can ever come of a sleepover
You'll only want to stay up and play, and end up sleeping through the very next day
No good can ever come of a sleepover
You'll only want to stay up all night, and then be crabby for the rest of your life
Sweet dreams now, children, sleep in your own beds tonight
Tomorrow we can all have breakfast, we can spend all day together
Laughing and frolicking, having so much fun, 'cause we're so well rested
Isn't it great, to have a mom, who knows that...
No good can ever come of a sleepover
You'll only want to stay up and play, and end up sleeping through the very next day
No good can ever come of a sleepover
You'll only want to stay up all night, and then be crabby for the rest of your life
THE SONG THAT SAVED THE WORLD
© 2008 Rrraargh! Music (BMI)
Words and music by James Dague
Sung by ScribbleJim with an assist from ScribbleJoyce
God said, "Man, I heard your tape and I dig the tune"
"Go son, this could be the one, your song could save the world"
This is the song that saved the world
All man has a place to stay and a lot of food
Children sing a song of love, although their mouths are full
This is the song that saved the world
Diapers now biodegrade in just one afternoon
World peace, it's not just a dream, it's reality
This is the song that saved the world
SLEEP
© 2008 Rrraargh! Music (BMI)
Words and music by James Dague
Sung by ScribbleJayne
An endless quest for one night's sleep
Will have to wait for one more day
The faucet drips, the house it creaks
The clock just ticks the night away
I close my eyes and I pray and hope for sleep
The covers itch, I start to sweat
I kick them off, I need a drink
Get out of bed, take off my socks
Go back to bed, it starts to rain
I close my eyes and I pray and hope for sleep
The neighbors shout, a baby shrieks
A car speeds by, I hear a train
The dogs, they bark, the cats, they sing
When silence comes, I go insane
I close my eyes and I pray and hope for sleep
