Track 1  /  UP AND OVER THE MOON! Listen RA  Listen MP3

Lyrics & Music:  Debbie Carroll © SOCAN

Swing, dance or rock your little one to sleep with this lovely song about the night sky.  Children love to learn about the moon, the Big Dipper and the Milky Way!

We walk along a country road
After the sun goes down
The Milky Way above our heads
Up and over the moon!

Chorus:
Up and over the moon, children
Up and over the moon
Count the planets, touch the stars
Up and over the moon

If we're in the city after dark
I look at the sky  with you
The Great Big Dipper shining bright
Up and over the moon!

Chorus

There's a window near your bed
Close the curtains soon
And dream a dream of far away
And up and over the moon!

Chorus

DEBBIE CARROLL: voice, piano
KATHY REID-NAIMAN: vocal harmony
ERNIE TOLLAR: flutes
KEN WHITELEY: guitar, string bass

Track  3  /  CAN YOU HOP LIKE A BUNNY? Listen RA  Listen MP3

Lyrics:  Anonymous
Music:  Debbie Carroll © SOCAN

This song is overflowing with actions.  Hop, run, walk, jump, swim, fly and sit, just like the animals!

Can you hop, hop, hop like a bunny
And run, run, run like a dog?
Can you walk, walk, walk like an elephant
And jump, jump, jump like a frog?
Can you swim, swim, swim like a goldfish
And fly, fly, fly like a bird?
Can you sit right here like a quiet mouse
And not say a single word?  Shhhhhhh!
DEBBIE CARROLL: voice, piano
KEN WHITELEY: fretless banjo, harmonica, trombone, sound effects

Lyrics and Music:  Traditional

Knock on a 'door' (cupboard, radiator, tree...), jump up in the air with Josie (Early in the Morning), and dance as you look for another 'door' to knock. (Rattle on the Stovepipe)!

Early in the morning at eight o'clock
You can hear a "Knock, Knock, Knock"
Jump up Josie, Open up the door
One letter, two letters, three letters four.

Track 22  /  FAR IN THE WOOD Listen RA  Listen MP3  

Lyrics:  Anonymous
Music:  Traditional

With the sounds of the Celtic harp and the Indian flute, this lullaby seems perfect for sweet dreams in an ancient castle.
 

Far in the wood you'll find a well
With water deep and clear
Whoever drinks by moonlight bright
Will live a thousand years
Will live a thousand years
And all around the little well
Are seven lovely trees
They rock and sway and sing a song
And whisper in the breeze
And whisper in the breeze
And through the seven little trees
The evennig wind will blow
And down fall seven little dreams
My baby all for you
My baby all for you


DEBBIE CARROLL: voice, fretted dulcimer, Celtic harp
ERNIE TOLLAR: Indian flute
KEN WHTELEY: guitar
BEN GROSSMAN: frame drum

Track 24  /   I’M SITTIN’ IN A BOAT Listen RA  Listen MP3  

Lyrics & Music:  Debbie Carroll © SOCAN

Sit on the floor with your child, facing one another, holding hands -  now rock back and forth with the waves.  When the waves get high, you can put your hands, or maybe even your child, high up in the air!

I'm sittin' in a boat
And the boat is rocking, rocking, rocking
I'm sittin' in a boat
And the boat is rocking, rocking, rocking
I'm sittin' in a boat
And the waves are oh, so high
Oh, so high in the mornin'
Lord, Lord, Lord!
DEBBIE CARROLL: voice
EVE GOLDBERG:  vocal harmony
KATHY REID-NAIMAN: vocal harmony
ERNIE TOLLAR: soprano saxophone
KEN WHITELEY: piano, string bass
