Happy Day
©2022 Jenn Cleary
hey everybody!
are you having a good day?
is it a happy day?
let’s sing a song!
it’s a happy day
my blues gone away
it’s a happy day
happy, happy, happy
happy, happy, happy day
i close my eyes and smile
it makes me feel kinda of wild
seems it’s been a while
it feels so good
oh, it feels so good to smile
i stretch my arms and shake my hair
take a huge breath of air
i want to hug like a bear
and share the love
i feel everywhere
it’s a happy day
my blues gone away
it’s a happy day
happy, happy, happy
happy, happy, happy day
i dance step to the right
jump up to take flight
i wish i had a kite
i’ll just spin around
oh what a silly sight
i wiggle jiggle my toes
might just put on a show
or limbo, limbo so low
or get a boat to row
come on, let’s go
it’s a happy day
my blues gone away
it’s a happy day
happy, happy, happy
happy, happy, happy day
it’s a happy day
my blues gone away
it’s a happy day
happy, happy, happy
happy, happy, happy day
it’s a happy day
happy, happy, happy
happy, happy, happy day

Magical Music Train

chugga, chugga, chugga, chugga
chugga, chugga, chugga, chugga
chugga, chugga, chugga, chugga
chugga, chugga, chugga, chugga
This song is about using our imaginations
where should we go
what should we do
let’s take a ride
to another side
on a magical music train
chugga, chugga, chugga, chug
let’s go to the zoo
where frogs croon the blues
turtles tango in tutus
giraffes dance in tap shoes
and the ducks quack how do you do
we’re on a magical train
let’s challenge our brains
it can be a fun game
why always be the same
when you can ride on a magical music train
let’s go to the sea
where mermaids dance free
crabs waltz in threes
dolphins whistle while they ski
and flying fish boogie in the breeze
let’s have some harp!
let’s go up to the sky
where bears beat drums and fly
eating strawberry pie
with milkshakes and fries
and gum drops giggle as they bounce by
how about some organ!
let’s see a blues band
where everybody jams
kids wear shades and headbands
groovin’ with the fans
and you can ask for any song on demand
we’re on a magical train
let’s challenge our brains
it can be a fun game
why always be the same
when you can ride on a magical music train
let’s ride on a magical music train
chugga, chugga, chugga, chhhh

Plant a Garden
©2022 Jenn Cleary
plant a garden, watch it grow
from seeds that you sow
give it water and lots of sun
pick those weeds out one by one
you can grow your own food
wouldn’t that be fun
you can grow beets, how sweet
or string beans as a treat
cucumbers on a vine
strawberries for snack time
you can grow your own food
with the sunshine
you can grow sprouts, no doubt
they’re good for you, try them out
watermelon that’s the best
try pumpkins, as a test
you can grow your own food
then earn your rest
you don’t need to go to the grocery store
every time you need something more
grab a shovel and some seeds
grow your own for a big old feed
you can even share with those in need
you can grow snap peas, with ease
pollinated by the bees
how about corn to toss on your grill
smothered with butter, have your fill
you can grow your own food
what a thrill
plant a garden, watch it grow
from seeds that you sow
give it water and lots of sun
pick those weeds out one by one
you can grow your own food
wouldn’t that be fun
plant a garden, watch it grow
with seeds that you sow
give it water and lots of sun
pick those weeds out one by one
you can grow your own food, wouldn’t that be fun
you can grow your own food, it’s so much fun

I Like Candy
©2022 Jenn Cleary/Jorg Waltje
i like candy, I like chocolate
that’s what I desire
bubble gum and hot fudge sundaes
are all that I require
oh, lollipops and licorice
make me scream with joy
ice cream, pies and pudding
for every girl and boy
oh, eat your broccoli, eat your peas
those carrots make you strong
this is what our parents say
but I think they have it wrong
peppermints and pixie stix
i just can’t get enough
if I chose my every meal
my choice would not be tough
gummy bears and taffy
a donut and some cake
i could eat treats for breakfast
lunch and sometimes late
the other day I had a toothache
it almost made me weep
the dentist said it’s from sugar
cut down—and brush your teeth!
i think I learned a lesson here
those carrots make ya strong
this is what our parents tell us
i think they’re not so wrong
So eat your broccoli, eat your peas
those carrots make you strong
this is what our parents say
and I think they’re not so wrong

Take a Walk in the Woods
©2022 Jenn Cleary
take a walk in the woods
climb a mountain
cross a stream
there’s so much to see
it’s like a wonderful dream
we don’t always need to be watching our screens
we don’t need to watch videos and escape reality
we can savor nature with the birds and the bugs
take in all that sunshine instead of lying on our rugs
take a walk in the woods
climb a mountain
cross a stream
there’s so much to see
it’s like a wonderful dream
we don’t need technology to tell us what to do
we don’t need social media to connect me and you
we can go outside with our family or friends
enjoy the sweet fresh air it’s better in the end
take a walk in the woods
climb a mountain
cross a stream
there’s so much to see
like a wonderful dream
we don’t need to work all day and well in to the night
we don’t need to study until there is no more light
there’s a beautiful world waiting let’s enjoy her gifts
take a break, go outside it will lift your spirits
how i love to swim in the ocean on a hot summer day
or build giant snow forts when winter comes our way
fall is fun for long walks or jumping in the leaves
spring is nice with flowers and buzzing with the bees
take a walk in the woods
climb a mountain
cross a stream
there’s so much to see
it’s better than a dream
take a walk in the woods
climb a mountain
cross a stream
there’s so much to see
it’s like a wonderful dream

Turtle Time
©2022 Jenn Cleary/Cheryl Branz
when we play hard
our energy flow
can go from super-duper high
to super-duper low
running and jumping
like a kangaroo
we might feel a little tired
and not know what to do
we can stop
for a break
here’s what we call
this time of the day
turtle time
turtle time
slow down
and take some
turtle time
turtle time
turtle time
we all can use a little
turtle time
read a favorite book
or take a cat-nap
draw a silly picture
of a dog with a hat
listen to a song
or sit and daydream
about living in a castle
made of fluffy whipped cream
our imaginations
can be our guide
turtle time is great
hey let’s give it a try
turtle time
turtle time
slow down
and take some
turtle time
turtle time
turtle time
we all can use a little
turtle time
try it on a monday
at the start of the week
then tuesday, wednesday, thursday
see what you think
friday and saturday
could also be fun
suddenly its sunday
and the week is all done
not just for kids
grownups need it too
when they want to rest
they can turtle time with you
turtle time
turtle time
slow down
and take some
turtle time
turtle time
turtle time
we all can use a little
turtle time
turtle time
turtle time
slow way down
and take some
turtle time
turtle time
turtle time
we all can use a little
turtle time

Only One You
©2022 Jenn Cleary/Connie Shaw
do you hear a voice inside you
that helps you know who you are
it tells you of your truest feelings
and guides you like a morning star
there’s only one you
no one else is the same
with a wisdom inside
you can’t even name
you have the key
to be who you want to be
you can trust your inner voice
when you’re not sure what’s real
find your calm and quiet place
and a peace you can deeply feel
there’s only one you
no one else is the same
with a wisdom inside
you can’t even name
you have the key
to be who you want to be
you know what makes your heart sing
you can trust that sense inside
your life can be
an inspiring joyful ride
when you must decide what is right
and you don’t know what to do
wait for that knowing feeling
that tells you what is true for you
there’s only one you
no one else is the same
with a wisdom inside
you can’t even name
you have the key
to be who you want to be
there’s only one you
no one else is the same
with a wisdom inside
you can’t even name
you have the key
to be who you want to be

I’m a Yak
©2022 Jenn Cleary/Dorje Dolma
i am a yak, I am big and strong
with a thick wooly coat to keep me warm
i climb the high mountains throughout the day
my long-curved horns keep predators away
I’m a yak
with my pack
my coat is black, grey, white or brown
my stomach breaks twigs and grasses down
it makes lots of cud then I chew and chew
when I swallow it up it glides on through
I’m a yak
with my pack
i reach my full size after 6 years old
then I scare off the wolves who are terribly bold
snow leopards try and go after me
but I fight on back until they stop and flee
I’m a yak
with my pack
our females make milk for yogurt and cheese
also known as chhurpi, if you please
my long hair is used for tents and ropes
while my undercoat is made into blankets and coats
I’m a yak
with my pack
my dung is used for cooking and for heat
without fuel to burn the people could not eat
the nomads here eat barley and buckwheat
it’s a hard life for them at fourteen thousand feet
I’m a yak
with my pack
i am very loyal and I carry heavy loads
but make me mad and I just might explode
cages are confining and not for me
we need to be up high and roam on free
we are yaks
with our packs
we can live for up to twenty years
grazing the tundra without a lot of fear
but our land has gotten warmer and is melting our snows
we hope we can survive, but who really knows
we are yaks
with our packs
some say we’re majestic or mystical
we’re even in stories that are mythical.
but as we walk off in to the mist and the clouds
remember us as animals, strong and proud
we are yaks
with our packs
we are yaks
with our packs
we are yaks
with our packs
we are yaks
don’t give us flack
we are yaks
with our packs
we are yaks
with our packs
we are yaks
with our packs

hey mr. seagull why are you looking at me

while i sit here watching the waves churn
hey mr. seagull let me see you fly
way up in the sky
how i wish i had wings like you
fly seagull fly
hey mr. seagull why are you staring at me
when you could be up gliding over the sea
i think it’s best you go on your way
i’m not gonna feed you anyway
you could go pluck a berry or dig up a clam
but don’t include me in your dinner plans
hey mr. seagull let me see you fly
way up in the sky
how i wish i had wings like you
fly seagull fly
come on, I’d love to see you fly
hey mr. seagull I love talking to you
but we must be done go do what you gotta do
i hope you find something good to eat
there’s a lot to enjoy on this beautiful beach
the sun’s going down and the day is done
i wish you good luck its sure been fun
now mr. seagull let me see you fly
way up in the sky
how i wish i had wings like you

It’s Time to Go to Sleep

it’s time to go to sleep
time to count a few sheep
mmm, ah ha
it’s time to go to sleep
time to rest your feet
it’s time to go to sleep
time to breathe real deep, ya

time to drift away
I know you know
it’s time to let it go
mmmmm
ahhh…
let yourself yawn
feel your body calm on down
ahhha
mmmmm
take a deep breath
ah…..
in through your nose, out your mouth
ah…..
ah…..
lovely dreams to you
deep breaths
ah…..
float away….
Oooo
ah…..
good night
good night
good night
good night
