The Velociraptor Song | Dinosaur Sing Along - Muffin Songs Original

VELOCIRAPTOR SONG


V1
Cretaceous Period is our next destination
To find a member of the dinosaur nation
Look around, but don’t go very far
This dino is a carnivore and movie star
V2
It is very hard to be his captor
So don’t ever try to fight Velociraptor
This little hunter is our newest guest
Just be careful not to step on his nest

Chorus-1
Very small, very quick,
You better find your herd,
Lots of feathers and a beak,
But, he is not a bird.

Doesn’t fly, but runs fast,
Faster than you think,
Velociraptor guards his nest,
He’ll grab you in a blink.

V3
Velociraptor never shows any grief,
His name only means “The Speedy Thief”
Only 2 feet tall and 6 feet long,
But he is tough, so everyone just move along.
V4
He has a long tail and 2 strong running legs,
With sharp claws and teeth protecting the eggs.
40 kilometers per hour, that’s his pace,
Velociraptor usually wins the race.

Spoken: Up-curved skull with an upturned snout,
Widely spaced teeth are inside his mouth.

Chorus-2
Very small, very quick,
You better find your herd,
Lots of feathers and a beak,
But, he is not a bird.

Doesn’t fly, but runs fast,
Faster than you think,
Velociraptor guards his nest,
He’ll grab you in a blink.

V5:
Scratching the prey until it’s weakened,
He looks like a turkey or a big chicken.
Ripping the prey with sickle-shaped sharp claws,
He is covered with feathers and no flaws.

V6:
This is a hunter whose blood is warm,
He likes raw meet in every form.
When they want to have successful attacks,
Sometimes Velociraptors hunt in packs.

Spoken: If you want to catch him – find a good bait,
Like ProtoceRaptor served on a plate.

Chorus-3
Very small, very quick,
You better find your herd,
Lots of feathers and a beak,
But, he is not a bird.

Doesn’t fly, but runs fast,
Faster than you think,
Velociraptor guards his nest,
He’ll grab you in a blink.

Coda:
Time to continue and pass the scepter,
And watch your back from Velociraptor.

I've Been Working on the Railroad | Family Sing Along - Muffin Songs

Lyrics/Letra:

I've been working on the railroad
All the live-long day.
I've been working on the railroad
Just to pass the time away.
Can't you hear the whistle blowing,
Rise up so early in the morn;
Can't you hear the captain shouting,
"Dinah, blow your horn!"
Dinah, won't you blow,
Dinah, won't you blow,
Dinah, won't you blow your horn?
Dinah, won't you blow,
Dinah, won't you blow,
Dinah, won't you blow your horn?
Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah
Someone's in the kitchen I know
Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah
Strummin' on the old banjo!
Singin' fee, fie, fiddly-i-o
Fee, fie, fiddly-i-o-o-o-o
Fee, fie, fiddly-i-o
Strummin' on the old banjo.
Someone's makin' love to Dinah
Someone's making love I know.
Someone's making love to Dinah
'Cause I can't hear the old banjo

Over the River and Through the Woods | Family Sing Along - Muffin Songs

Lyrics:

Over the river and through the woods

Over the river and through the woods
To Grandmother’s house we go
The horse knows the way to carry the sleigh
Through white and drifted snow
Over the river and through the woods
Oh, how the wind does blow!
It stings the toes and bites the nose
As over the ground we go


Repeat

Over the river and through the woods
And through the barnyard gate
We seem to go extremely slow
It is so hard to wait!
Over the river and through the woods
Now Grandmother’s cap I spy!
Hooray for the fun! Is the pudding done?
Hooray for the pumpkin pie!

The Night Before Christmas Song | Family Sing Along - Muffin Songs

The Night Before Christmas Song | Family Sing Along - www.muffinsongs.com

Lyrics:

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there

The children were nestled all snug in their beds
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads
And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap
Had just settled down for a long winter's nap

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter
Away to the window I flew like a flash
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear
But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer

With a little old driver, so lively and quick
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name

"Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen
On, Comet! on Cupid! on, Donder and Blitzen
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall
Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!"

As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky
So up to the house-top the coursers they flew
With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too

And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof
As I drew in my hand, and was turning around
Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound

He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot
A bundle of toys he had flung on his back
And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack

His eyes -- how they twinkled! his dimples how merry
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow
And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow

The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath
He had a broad face and a little round belly
That shook, when he laughed like a bowlful of jelly

He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread

He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work
And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk
And laying his finger aside of his nose
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose

He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night."

Santa's Solar Sleigh | Family Sing Along - Muffin Songs

Santa's Solar Sleigh | Family Sing Along - www.muffinsongs.com

Santa's brother bob Came to visit for a while
He said bro you need to know Your sleigh is out of style

It's getting really old And the paint job is a mess
It doesn't have a heater in case you get cold And it doesn't have GPS

What if the reindeer all get sick What if they lose their lift?
But don't you worry brother I bought you a gift

It's a solar sleigh It's the latest thing
When word gets round in every town, everyone will sing

Santa's solar sleigh. It's quite a site
It has everything he needs For that special Christmas flight

CHORUS
And it's got: Head lights tail lights flood lights Christmas lights
Automatic doors
A coffee maker ice maker snow maker toy maker
All of that and more
And it's got: a windshield washer dishwasher clothes washer boot washer
Satellite TV
Hifi Wifi auto park auto fly
A laser light Christmas tree

Santa said that's kind of you And I don't mean to offend
But my old sleigh is a okay It's like a trusty friend

Bob said come on brother. I bought the very best.
Please just try it Christmas Eve, It will pass your every test

Santa finally gave in He told the reindeer the news
He said I guess that sleigh is best So I guess I don't need you

Thanks for all you've done for me For so many years
The reindeer looked down to the ground To hide their reindeer tears

Soon it was Christmas Eve Santa hopped into the sleigh
He said Ho Ho Ho it's time to go but it wouldn't fly away.

Santa's solar sleigh it's quite a site
Just one little problem There's no sunshine at night

So he couldn't use the:
Head lights tail lights flood lights Christmas lights
Automatic doors
Coffee maker ice maker snow maker toy maker
All of that and more
And he couldn't use the
windshield washer dishwasher clothes washer boot washer
Satellite TV
Hifi wifi auto park auto fly
A laser light Christmas tree

Santa went to his reindeer and said I'm sorry I was wrong.
Sometimes what's new isn't all it seems. Sometimes what's old is strong

I should have listened to my heart It knew what I should do
But it's not too late to change our fate With the help of all of you

The reindeer lifted up their heads and ran to his old sleigh
Santa loaded it with toys and they were on their way

Santa's good old sleigh It's quite a site
Just Santa, toys and reindeer On that special Christmas Flight

And he didn't need the:
Head lights tail lights flood lights Christmas lights
Automatic doors
Coffee maker ice maker snow maker toy maker
All of that and more
And he didn't need the
windshield washer dishwasher clothes washer boot washer
Satellite TV
Hifi Wifi auto park auto fly
A laser light Christmas tree

Santa's good old sleigh It's quite a site
Just Santa toys and reindeer On that special Christmas flight
Just Santa toys and reindeer On that special Christmas flight

Three Pairs of Long Johns On | Family Sing Along - Muffin Songs

Three Pairs of Long Johns On | Family Sing Along - www.muffinsongs.com

It was getting late Christmas Eve Day
And Santa was packing his sleigh
Mrs Claus came out and said there's no doubt
It's time for you to be on your way
But remember what I always say

CHORUS:
Put 3 pairs of long johns on
3 pairs of long johns on
It's cold up there in the Christmas air
take care what you wear when you're gone
Put three pairs of long johns on.

Santa said yes my dear
You tell me that every year
I'm already dressed the way you request
So Snowflake don't you fear
I'm toasty from my toes to my ears

He kissed Mrs Claus good bye
And then with a wink of his eye
He hopped on his sleigh and said let's be on our way
Good cheer reindeer let's fly
And soon they were high in the sky

CHORUS:

And He had three pairs of long johns on
Three pairs of long johns on
It's cold up there in the Christmas air
take care what you wear when you're gone
He had three pairs of long johns on.

He flew all over the world
While the Christmas snow whirled and swirled
He went from house to house as quiet as a mouse
And as quick as the flick of a squirrel
Leaving toys for every boy and girl

Filled with the Christmas mood
Lots of kids left him food
He ate every last crumb and every last plum
Cuz he didn't want to be rude
But his buttons were coming unglued

CHORUS

In a small house in a small town
With a toy in his hand he bent down
His pants they split right where you sit
It made such a loud ripping sound
That half the town gathered round

He backed out the door to the snow
Shouted Merry Christmas, HO HO HO
Then he jumped on his sled with his cheeks bright red
And said I so didn't know they could glow
But at least there wasn't much of a show

CHORUS:

Cuz he had three pairs of long johns on
Three pairs of long johns on
It's cold up there in the Christmas air
take care what you wear when you're gone
He had three pairs of long johns on.

CHORUS

Best Friends Forever (BFF Song) | Family Sing Along - Muffin Songs

We don't always like the same things
Take ice cream
we like different flavors

And we don't always see things the same
Once you called me a name
And I returned the favor
(Chorus)

But you are my best friend
Forever
we won't ever let that end
No never
You are here for me and I am here for you
That's what best friends do

We don't always see eye to eye
Don't ask me why
But we don't mind it

And we don't always get along
but our friendship's strong
We can always find it

(Chorus)

We don't always fit in with the crowd
but we still stand proud
and we stand together

And we don't care what other people say
We go our own true way
That works a whole lot better

(Chorus)
(Chorus)

It's Thanksgiving day and we're gathered round
Little children make a joyful sound
And there's no school and we get to play
And we're all thankful for this day
Except for the turkey
La la la la la la la la except for the turkey

And we all say what we're thankful for
There's such good food and there's such great fun
And there's such big smile's on everyone
Except for the turkey
La la la la la la la la

(repeat last line as instrumental )
So if you're a turkey and you're still alive,
you might kinda wanna hide
Or soon you'll prob'ly be dead meat
On this festive day you're what we eat
So fly away to a distant land
Where people think turkeys are grand
Spread your wings and sore up high
And be thankful that birds can fly
Except for the turkey.
La la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la

The Talkative Bunting | Children's Tales, Stories and Fables |

Lyrics:

[Bunting] : Ha ha ha. I'm the best talking bunting in the world. I get thorns in my mouth if I don't talk for just a day.
[Bunting] : Nobody can win an argument with me. La la la.
[Bunting] : La la la.
[All] : Ugh...
[Squirrel] : Oh! I can't stand it.
[Bunting] : La la la la.
[Hochi] : Ugh... Hey, Bunting! You talkative Bunting!
[Bunting] : Oh! Hi, Hochi! Ha ha ha. What brings you here? Did you come to hear me talk? I believed that my friends would come to hear me talk some day.
[Hochi] : Stop!
[Hochi] : You might talk because you like to, but we can't stand it. You're so loud. So please keep your mouth shut.
[Bunting] : Ugh... Mm...
[Hochi] : Are you going to continue babbling?
[Bunting] : Oh, no...
[Bunting] : Are you sore? La la la la.
[Raccoon] : Ugh...
[Tiger] : Hm... There's a fellow that is really conceited in these woods that I rule?

[Bunting] : Huh? What do you mean? I was here all along. Didn't you hear me talk?
[Rabbit] : Oh, well, I didn't hear you.
[Raccoon] : Me neither. I didn't hear Bunting very well. Compared to the prattler in the cave, Bunting has a voice like an ant.
[Bunting] : What? An ant's voice?
[Raccoon] : Yeah, an ant's voice. You would be surprised.
[Bunting] : What? Where is it? Tell me where it is. Where is it?
[Rabbit, Raccoon] : (Winking at each other)
[Raccoon] : You know that cave near the waterfall, there is a great prattler living in that cave. He has such a loud voice...
[Bunting] : Oh... Cave... (Flies off)

Young Captain Kiddo's Dream | Children's Tales, Stories and Fables

Lyrics Young Captain Kiddo's Dream

Once a summer night, it was very hot.

'What a beautiful island this is!' young Kiddo thought.

And the young captain Kiddo anchored his pirate ship off the tropical island.

'Ho, you scum of the Seven Seas,' he ordered to his men, 'put my chest in the longboat. We all go here this ashore.'

His crew lifted the big chest into the longboat. Then they rowed ashore. Soft, golden sand crunched beneath their sea boots as they pulled the boat up on the beach.

Sea Gulls circled overhead. Four lf the strongest pirates heaved the chest onto their shoulders while the Young Captain Kiddo read his map.

'Follow me up Dinosaur's Hill, and you swab the foot signs,' he growled.

On the hilltop the captain took out his compass and reed his position. 'This is it,' he roared. 'Aye, lads, this is the place old Captain Hook marked on his map.

Now down with the chest,' The captain's right hand pushed back his greatcoat.

Two loaded pistols gleamed in the strong sun. Slowly his hand drew out a great key. He unlocked the chest and threw open the lid.

Then he reached in and brought out muffins, hot cake, buttered toast and hot flasks of tea. "Help yourselves, my hearties,' the Young Captain Kiddo sang out . 'Old Captain Hook certainly knew the best spot for a nice cup of tea.'

The Japanese Apricot Tree | Children's Tales, Stories and Fables

Lyrics The Japanese Apricot Tree and the Bush Warbler

Long ago, there lived a man named Handong who made bowls of clay and sold them.
In a few days, Handong was to marry Gopbun who lived in the neighboring village.
He was happy and smiled every day.
But, Gopbun became sick.
Handong was so surprised, he nursed Gopbun every night.
But, Gopbun died.
Handong was so sad, he cried at Gopbun's grave every day.
One day, a Japanese Apricot tree began to grow by the grave.
"This has to be Gopbun's soul.."
Handong moved the tree to his yard and took care of it every day.
The tree grew with Handong's care.
Time passed and Handong became an old man.
"Oh, who will take care of this tree when I die."
Handong worried that the tree might die if he didn't take care of it.
Summer and fall passed and winter came.
Only the branches were left.
A warm spring day came.
The villagers could not see Handong and went to his house.
But nobody was at the house.
"Look, there is a bowl here."
The people gathered and carefully opened it.
There was a pretty bush warbler in the bowl.
Handong's soul had become a bush warbler.
The bush warbler went to the Japanese Apricot tree and whistled a song.
The villagers thought that Handong still cared for the tree and they took care of the tree for him.
Even now, there are many bush warblers near Japanese Apricot trees.
Now you know why

Lyrics The Fox and the Goat

A fox fell in a well by mistake and was trying to figure out a way to get out.
"Oh, boy, how am I going to get out of here..."
Right then, he heard a goat's cry and a goat appeared.
"Fox, what are you doing there?"
The fox thought this was his chance.
"Oh, I came down here to drink water. This is the best tasting water in the world."
The goat was interested in the what the fox had to say.
"Is that true? Can I have some of that water?"
The fox encouraged the goat.
"Fine, I'll specially let you have some. Come down here."
The goat carefully went down the well. And deliciously drank the water.
"Wow, this water is really good. But how do we get back up?"
The fox answered as if he waited for this question.
"Don't worry. I have a good idea. Put your front legs against the wall and I'll go up climbing on your back. And then I'll pull you up from the top. Okay?"
"Yeah, that will work."
The goat listened to the fox and went toward the wall.
The fox climbed on the goat's back and went out of the well.
"Fox, it's my turn now. Pull me up."
The fox looked down into the well and told the goat.
"Ha ha, you stupid fool. How can I pull you up? The water in this well is the same as normal water. Thanks for helping me out of the well. Use your brain from now on."
The fox snickered at the goat and disappeared. The goat realized what he did and cried for help.

Mujuri and Zolbogi | Children's Tales, Stories and Fables |

Lyrics:

Mujuri was the silliest elf in the whole wood. Zolbogi the Owl was always scolding him. 'Why do you so think hard and enough,' said the Owl.
One day some boys and girls were playing with some balloons in a meadow beyond the wood. Suddenly the wind caught a big, yellow balloon and it blew away, over the trees.
That night the Mujuri was coming home very late. It was dark and he could hardly see the path. 'Oh, dear!' he sighed.
'I wonder where the moon is tonight?'
He looked up at the sky and then he saw something in the branches of a tree.
It was the yellow balloon. But Mujuri didn't know that.
'Goodness,' he cried, 'the moon's fallen out of the sky!'
Mujuri climbed up the tree and untangled the balloon string from the branches.
Then he hurried to go home.
'Zolbogi,' he cried, 'the moon's fallen out of the sky.
How can I put it back again?'
Zolbogi laughed so much he nearly fell off the branch where he was sitting.
'Look up there,' he said. The moon was just peeping out from behind the clouds.
'It was hiding all the time,' said Mujuri.
But he didn't really mind Zolbogi laughing at him, because he'd got a lovely big balloon to play with.
He thought Zolbogi has not seen the yelow big balloon.
