The Kitchen Pan Band
We’re the kitchen pan band, we don’t mess around Grandma is our leader, we have a retro sound We’re cookin’ in the kitchen, wooden spoons in hand Beatin’ on a sauce pan, tappin’ on a can
Chorus
Oooo…we’re sizzlin’ hot
Oooo…in this happy spot
Oooo…the kitchen pan band We’re the kitchen pan band, we don’t mind the heat Popcorn is our rhythm, two lids keep our beat
We’d love for you to join us, come and have some fun We will keep on playin’, ‘till our dinner’s done
Chorus
Bridge
OK, kids, let’s add some spice and make it nice!
A little salt, a dash of pepper
Oh, go on, add some more pepper!
Now it’s spicy! Chorus

Fly High
What a perfect night and the time is right When I dream dreams of flying through the air See you flying, too, dreams are coming true When you believe, you can then you do
Chorus
Fly high
Through the clouds are rippling waves of indigo blue Fly high
Reach out and touch the wonder, wonder in you
What a perfect day, nothing more to say Open our wings and take to the skies Over scented pines where the river winds Dipping and swirling beyond space or time
Chorus
What a perfect life, filled with pure delight When I believe my dreams can come true
So let your guiding light set you soul in flight Start here right now, there’s nothing here to lose It’s waiting there for you, dream big, believe There’s nothing you can’t do
And if you think you might
Shoot straight to the stars, I’ll meet you tonight
Chorus

Taxi Mama Blues
We’re riding down the road in our red-hot mini van We’re riding down the road in our red-hot mini van We’re heading for the park, or at least that is the plan
‘Cause anything can happen right out of the blue Yes, anything can happen right out of the blue When you got co-pilot telling you what to do
Chorus
I got a backseat driver, soppy cup in hand
I got a backseat driver, he’s the one in command
Well, you may think this could never happen to you, well I’ve got news Some day you may be singing the Taxi Mama Blues
First a trip to well-check, then a trip to Pre-School
First a trip to well-check, then a trip to Pre-School
Then we’re off to swim class where we both get in the pool
And that is just Monday, first day of the week
Yes, that is just Monday, first day of the week
Just wait until Wednesday when his schedule starts to peak
Chorus
We spent hours and hours getting ready today
We spent hours and hours getting ready today
For that very special play date, we’re finally on our way
We’re almost there when I start singin’ the blues We’re almost there when I start singin’ the blues
Because my backseat driver has decided to take a snooze
Chorus

Little Miss Lelu
Are you ready? 1, 2, 3, 4!
Her hair is short, it’s black and curly
Her eyes are brown, they’re big and swirly
She struts around without a care
She has her nose up in the air
And she’s got all the hounds in a tizzy
But she won’t give them time, she too busy
Chorus
She’s Little Miss Lelu, Little Miss Lovely
Little Miss Look at Me
Little Miss Princess, Little Miss Perfect
Little Miss Poodle-lee-dee
She sits upon her royal chair
While everyone attends her there
Her many suitors are at her feet
But she prefers a doggy treat
And she’s got all the hounds in a tizzy
But she won’t give them time, she too busy
Chorus
Bridge
There she goes!
She’s such a star!
She’s goin’ far!
Chorus

Slip n’ Slide
In the year of 1961
Oh, those kids knew how to have some In the backyard and the frontyard, too Keepin’ cool is what they used to do Times have changed but kids still play That’s why we do it today
Chorus
Slip and slide, let’s go for a ride
On my slip and slide, let’s go for a ride
Turn on the hose, get the water flowin’ Put on your suit, and let’s get goin’ We’re gonna spend the day in the sun Slip n’ slidin’ and having some fun Times have changed but kids still play That’s why we do it today
Chorus

Do The Right Thing
Look both ways before you start crossing the street
Remember to wash your hands before you eat
Help the little old lady with the door
And pick up that piece of trash you see on the floor
It's not always the coolest thing to do
But you feel good when you're through
Chorus
Do the right thing, do the right thing, do the right thing...do, do, do, do, do
Do the right thing, do the right thing, do the right thing...do, do, do, do, do
Always do your best when you're taking a test
And try to be quiet when the baby's taking a rest
Turn the lights off if you don't need them anymore
Remember to smile when you're doing your chores
It's not always the coolest thing to do
But it feels good when you're through
Chorus
Spoken
Just ask yourself, "What feels right, what's the best thing to do?"
Chorus
c. 2012 Teresa Gasca-Burk & Gary Burk
Sing!
There are lots of birds in the sky
It is not for me to ask why
All I know is I’ve got my wings
And something makes me want to sing
Chorus
So I’ll sing! Yes, I’ll sing! My own song!
There are lot’s of birds in the trees And some of them even look like me Brothers and Sisters are we
Part of one precious family
Chorus
Bridge
I’m gonna sing my own song right now
C’mon you, too, you sing your own song right now La la la la la la, la la la la la la, la la la la la la
Have you ever wanted to fly
Spread your wings and take to the sky Do you ever want to be heard
Like a church bell, the rain drops or a bird
Chorus
c. 2012 Teresa Gasca-Burk & Gary Burk
Lucky Dog
You’re always there when I get home from school
Happy to see me is your Golden Rule
You’re full of love and big sloppy kisses
You’re the answer to all of my wishes
Chorus
I’m a lucky dog, I’m a lucky dog
I’m a lucky dog, you’re my dog
I’m a lucky dog, I’m a lucky dog
I’m a lucky dog, you’re my dog
You’re my best friend, there by my side
Sittin’ on my lap when we’re on a car ride
You do all your tricks just the way I taught you Now here’s a bone for you to chew
Chorus
Bridge
Your black and white spots and your soft fluffy ears
Set you apart from the rest
Oh, my Odie…you’re the best
Chorus

Mother Earth
Chorus
Mother Earth, Mother Earth
I thank you for my home
Mother Earth, Mother Earth
I thank you for my home
The green grass, so very soft, is carpet for my toes
The big blue sky, so very high, the roof above my nose
The cool, running river, a bathtub for my feet
The old, fallen timber, the table where I eat
Chorus
The warm bed where I lay is a large rock by the creek
The wind through the leaves, oh, the music that I seek
The sunrise, the sunset, a joy to watch each day
The hot, sandy beaches, the game room that I play
Chorus
Bridge
And I will share your planet
With all creatures big and small
Plants, animal and people
You are home to us all
Chorus
c. 2012 Teresa Gasca-Burk & Gary Burk
Indian Summer
Walkin’ barefoot to Roy’s
Lookin’ out for cute boys
Orange soda and chips
Sun-kissed face, sun-kissed lips
Chorus
It’s an Indian summer in sweet
San Fernando
Just a girl of thirteen, who’s starting to dream
On an Indian summer in sweet San Fernando
Picnics at Sundland Park
Playin’ tag ‘till it’s dark
At the drive-in we’ll see
The latest Disney movie
Chorus
Bridge
And the warm wind felt right
Things were happy and light
Sunday drive to the creek
Climbing up to the peak
All my family was there
With laughter to share
Chorus
