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

c. 2012 Teresa Gasca-Burk & Gary Burk

 

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

c. 2012 Teresa Gasca-Burk & Gary Burk

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

c. 2012 Teresa Gasca-Burk & Gary Burk
