Flying Machine
(R. Goodwin / M. Schneider)
Way up in
the sky there is a flying machine,
A happy flying machine with great big jets on its wings.
It soars on a cloud without a fear or a care,
It is oh so safe as it just glides on the air.
Out pops its wheels when it's ready to land,
Piloted in by the captain's steady hand.
He lands oh so soft like the feathers on a hen.
He hollers in back, "Let's go flying again!"
Right back in the air goes the flying machine,
Happy flying machine, with great big jets on its wings.
If you want a ride, there's only one thing to do,
Yes the flying machine will be coming for you!

The
Happy Wanderer
(A. Ridge / F.W.
Moeller)
I love to go a
wandering,
Along the mountain track,
And as I go I love to sing,
My napsack on my back.
Valderi, valdera, valderi, valdera-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha,
Valderi, valdera, my napsack on my back.
I love to wander by the stream,
That dances in the sun.
So joyously it calls to me,
Come join my happy song.
Valderi, valdera, valderi, valdera-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha,
Valderi, valdera, come join my happy song.
I wave my hat to all I meet,
And they wave back to me.
And blackbirds call so loud and sweet,
From every green wood tree.
Valderi, valdera, valderi, valdera-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha,
Valderi, valdera, from every green wood tree.
Oh may I go a wandering,
Until the day I die.
And may I always laugh and sing,
Beneath God's clear blue sky.
Valderi, valdera, valderi, valdera-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha,
Valderi, valdera, beneath God's clear blue sky.
Beneath God's clear blue sky.

Ein Milch
(G.
Kunoth / M. Schneider)
Ein Milch,
ein Milch,
Für Gesundheit.
Ein Milch, ein Milch,
Für Gesundheit.
Eins, zwei, drei, trink!
One milk, one milk,
For good strong bones.
One milk, one milk,
For good strong bones.
One, two, three, drink!

Jolly Lumberjack Polka
(J.F.
Wagner / M. Schneider)
High on the hill way up in the breeze,
The lumberjack is sawing his trees.
He saws all day and he saws all night.
If you are lucky you just might,
Hear him saw!
High on the
mountain up in the trees,
The lumberjack will fall to his knees.
He rolls down the hill just laughing all the way.
When he gets up he will saw another day.
Can you hear him saw?

Chicken Dance
(W.
Thomas / T. Rendall / M. Schneider)
First you make your little beaks,
Then you flap your little wings,
Then you wiggle all the way down to the ground.
Now you do it once again,
Just pretend that you're a hen,
You'll be the best dancer in town.
No, this isn't just a dance,
It is worth a second glance,
It is the greatest dance around.
It is called the Chicken Dance,
If you give it just one chance,
You'll be amazed at what you've found.
Now go and find yourself a partner,
As you twirl around the floor.
And once you've done the Chicken Dance,
You'll keep coming back for more.

Parents Polka
(M.
Schneider)
Mommy,
mom, daddy, dad, what do you call yours?
There are many names for the ones you really love,
Mommy, mom, daddy, dad, or all of the above.
For all they do for you, you really can't go wrong.
Just call them by the names you're singing in this song.
Mommy, mom, daddy, dad, what do you call yours?
They're the ones you answer to when you do your chores.
Mommy, mom, daddy, dad, they are there for you.
Call them what you like, they always will love you.

Toyland Polka
(Schelb,
Henry, and Dale Fitzsimmons / M. Schneider)
Little girls and little boys,
It's time to play with all your toys.
A Corvette here a dolly there,
This plane to take you anywhere.
Now little girls and little boys,
It's time to pick up all your toys.
Down below and way up high,
Pick up any toy nearby.
I hope you all have had some fun.
Nap time once again has come.
Go to bed and get some rest,
'Cause Toyland is the best!
'Cause Toyland is the best!

Tiny Bubbles in the Tub
(L.
Pober / M. Schneider)
Tiny bubbles in the tub,
When I'm dirty, a-rub-a-dub-dub.
Tiny bubbles get me all cleaned up,
Just washing in the bubbles,
Before they go glub glub glub.
I'm going to scrub my hands and feet.
I'll wash my face and hair.
Just being clean is a feeling you can't compare.

My cute little mountain boy?
Will you teach me how to yodel,
And fill my heart with joy?

You just go

I've Been Working on the Railroad
(trad.)
I've been
working on the railroad,
All my livelong day.
I've been working on the railroad,
Just to pass my 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,
Strumming out the old banjo.
Fe, fi, fiddle E-I-O,
Fe, fi, fiddle E-I-O,
Fe, fi, fiddle E-I-O,
Strumming out the old banjo.
Fe, fi, fiddle E-I-O,
Strumming out the old banjo.

Nap Time Lullaby
(M.
Schneider)
Close your eyes, go to sleep,
Close your eyes and count the sheep.
Close your eyes, count the sheep,
You'll soon be fast asleep.
Go and grab your blanket,
Cuddle up inside of it.
You will fall asleep,
But only for a little bit.
Close your eyes, go to sleep,
The sandman will be coming soon.
Put down your toys, lay down your head,
You'll soon be fast asleep.

Hey, hey, baba reba,
Hey, hey, baba reba,
Hey, hey, baba reba.
Oh E-I-E-I-E-I-O,
E-I-E-I-E-I-O,
E-I-E-I-E-I-O,
E-I-E-I-E-I-O.
Papa's chewing bubble gum,
Mama's chewing bubble gum,
Baby's chewing bubble gum.
