Put Your Arms in the Air! Put your arms in the air! Put your arms in the air! Now spin around around Put your arms in the air! Touch your nose! Put your arms in the air! Let’s clap! Say hello! Say hola, aloha! How do you do? Me, I’m fine, thank you Touch your ears! Put your arms in the air! Let’s sing Now let’s get small get real small. Get real small Curl up into a little ball Get small small small Be real still and freeze! Start to grow start to grow Start to grow start to grow And like a seed in the spring you’re gonna get bigger Bigger bigger bigger until you reach up to the sky Go ahead and reach for the clouds! And Put your arms in the air! Put your arms in the air! Let’s sing! Put your arms in the air! Put your arms in the air! Now spin right round like a record baby right round like a wagon wheel right round all aboard! Put your arms in the air! Put your arms in the air! Take a bow take a bow! Oh yeah! Pink Floyd finish!

Mom Counts to Three When we get ready to go out the door my mom says Ok I’ve got my purse and keys, get your stuff and meet me at the door And I say sure thing mom I can totally do this but then, wait what am I supposed to do, oh no, she going to say it! Don’t make me count to three Don’t make me count to three Count, count, count to… 1-2-3. 1-2-3. 1-2-3 Now you see this is the problem with my mom, even though she went to elementary But never learned her A B C’s but never learned how to count past 1-2-3 1-2-3 It doesn’t give a kid any time, you see I’m trying to get my hat and shoes and everytime it seems like something goes wrong I can’t find my shoes mom Ok buddy, its time to go Yeah I know but I can’t find my shoes and I can’t go out side Its time to go! Oh no, she’s getting frustrated! Don’t make me count to three Don’t make me count to three Count, count, count to… And then she says that thing… Don’t make me do it again! 1-2-3. 1-2-3. 1-2-3 It seems like what we have here is a failure to communicate. You know I saw that in a movie once and it seems to apply to my current situation Mom, I can’t find my shoes Are you listening to my words? We have to go I know we have to go but I can’t go outside without my shoes! I’m going to wait in the car No wait mom, come back Ok I’m back but we really have to get going Ah mom, three is just so short, can’t you give me a little more Something bigger than three, what’s bigger than three…? Ok, 1-2-3-4! 1-2-3-4! 1-2-3-4! 1-2-3-4! Mom I found my shoes!

Letter Why There’re 26 letters in the alphabet and I know your favorite you won’t let me forget; you say it all the time… its WHY Why is the sky blue why is the grass green…? SCIENCE Why do those yellow jackets sting…? SELF DEFENSE Why does summer follow spring… IT’S A SEASON THING Why do I have to go to bed…? NIGHTTIME Why is one apple yellow and the other red…. DIFFERNT TYPES OF TREES Why did you put a hat on top of my head when I go outside…? BECAUSE IT COLD AND RAINY Why are trees tall and why am I small…? PERSPECTIVE Why does it hurt whenever I fall…? NERVES Why are so many games played with balls… BECAUSE ROUND THINGS ARE EASY TO THROW So many things are different, so many things are new…NEW TO YOU But who makes up all this stuff, who makes up all these rules? Since I don’t know HE DON’T KNOW I’m gonna ask you, so please tell me why, why why? Why am I young and why are you so old…? BIRTHDAY Why do I have to do just what I’m told…? BIRTHDAY Why is fire hot and snow so cold…. CHEMISTRY AND YOUR NERVES Why don’t we eat chocolate all the time…? GOOD QUESTION Why do songs always have to rhyme…? DO THEY Why do people put weird things up on signs everywhere… THAT DIDN’T RHYME Why does hair grow out and also grow in… BALDNESS Why can’t I see the bottom of my chin… GOOGLE IT Why does a robin go bop bop bobbin is doesn’t swim it FLIES FLIES So many things are different, so many things are new…NEW TO YOU But who makes up all this stuff, who makes up all these rules? Since I don’t know HE DON’T KNOW I’m gonna ask you, so please tell me why, why why? There’re 26 letters in the alphabet and I know your favorite you won’t let me forget; you say it all the time… it’s the color pink! YOU’RE SILLY A b c d e f g I j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y and z YOU DIDN’T SAY H Uh yes I did NO, YOU DIDN’T No I totally said it, and that’s why!

Bowl of Eggs I’m going to make myself a big old bowl of eggs I’m going to make myself a big old bowl of eggs Scrambled and fried, basted alright, hard or soft boiled just fine I’m going to make myself a big old bowl of eggs I’m going to toast some toast in my toaster until its toast Maybe whole wheat or white bagels I like the most Crispy and fine on both sides Make sure it’s buttered I don’t like dry I’m going to toast some toast in my toaster until its toast I’m going to fry up a big old side of ham Maybe bacon or sausage right there in the pan Hashbrowns on the side A little ketchup does them just right I’m going to fry up a big old side of ham I’m going to make myself a big old bowl of eggs I’m going to make myself a big old bowl of eggs Hard boiled or soft Chicken break I’m going to make myself a big old bowl of tofu All my fine feathered friends tell me that what I should do A little soy sauce and sesame seeds Share them with all my barn yard buddies I’m going to make myself a big old bowl of tofu I’m going to make A big bowl Of Tofu

SNOW! 02:30

SNOW! Hey now hey now when we fall for fall and summer says “So long y’all!” Days get short and nights grow so tall that is time for us to Put away the swim suits and the sun screen Pull out the big boots and the warm things Say goodbye to green until spring Run to the front window and look for SNOW! Lets watch for the snow When it gets COLD I can’t wait for Big flakes falling in a flurry you see them - If you see them you better hurry Catch them on your tongue and nose - Tons of fun for young and old! Watching magically falling all around Hope it piles up four feet on the ground Comes down so soft doesn’t make a sound “Hey mom can we go out now?” (GO!) Hurry scurry for you gloves and hat, bathroom first before the snow pants So many layers that I can, barely waddle out into the SNOW! Lets get in the I don’t mind the COLD, now I want to Go sledding and ride the toboggin - Throw snow balls – but not at the noggin Oh no it stopped fallin - Looks like its time for SNOW DANCE! If we get all tired and cold, go inside for hot chocolate (COCO!) Pile the mug high with mini marshmallows, dip into it with sticks of butter toast Tomorrow lets do it all again, build snow people and forts with our friends Hope this winter never ends we waited all year long just for the SNOW! Lets give three cheers for snow (SNOW SNOW SNOW) SNOW! I hope it Stays so cold it never goes away, monster blizzard every day Hey look, its another SNOW DAY, as long as it all melts by May.

Tu Eres Lo Más Preciado 03:02
lyrics

Tu eres lo más Preciado Maria vive con su familia en San Bernardino. Cada día camina a la escuela. Maria tiene ocho años. Ella aprende y juega todo el día, y al final recoge sus libros y dice adiós a sus profesores y dice adiós a sus amigos. Por el camino, de vuelta a casa, escucha y ve gente hablando sobre cosas, símbolos por las calles, gorras, pegatinas en los coches que hablan de cosas malas, que hablan de muros. A la hora de cenar ayuda a su Mamá. Pone la mesa, prepara la comida y su Mamá le dice: ¿Cómo estás mi mamita? Y Maria dice: ¿Mami por que las cosas están tan mal? ¿Están peor que antes? ¿Hemos hecho algo malo, que pone a la gente furiosa? ¿He hecho algo malo yo? Su mamá le abraza y le besa el pelo. “No mi amor” dice “no tienes nada que temer, tienes toda tu vida por delante y tu corazón está lleno de luz y bondad, incluso si hay gente que lleva ira o lleva intolerancia” “Pero tu, mi amor, no tienes la culpa. Y si escuchas a alguien hablando con ira, hablando con odio, recuerda mi amor, tu no tienes que cambiar. Por que en lo más profundo tu ere lo más preciado” Already Great (English translation) Maria lives with her family, down in San Bernardino Every day she walks to school she’s now 8 years old She learns and plays all day, and gathers her books at the end Says good bye to her teachers, says good bye to her friends And along the way, as she walks home, she hears and she sees People talking to each other, about all sorts of things Signs along the road, hats on heads, stickers on cars Talking about how bad it is, talking about walls Then at dinner she helps her mama, set the plates and the food Her mama says, how are you my child, was your day good? And Maria says mama, are things so bad? Is it worse now than before? Did we do something to make people mad? Did we do something wrong? And her mama pulls her in, and kisses her tiny face No, my child, she says, we will keep you safe You have your whole life ahead and a heart that’s full and bright Even though some people carry anger, some people carry spite But you, my little one, you are not to blame And if you hear someone, who speaks with anger or hate Remember, my child, you don’t need to change Because deep inside, you’re already great.

The Passenger I am a passenger And I ride and I ride I ride through the city's backside I see the stars come out of the sky Yeah, they're bright in a hollow sky You know it looks so good tonight I am a passenger I stay under glass I look through my window so bright I see the stars come out tonight I see the bright and hollow sky Over the city's ripped-back sky And everything looks good tonight Singin' la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la Oh, the passenger How-how he rides Oh, the passenger He rides and he rides He looks through his window What does he see? He sees the silent hollow sky He see the stars come out tonight He sees the city's ripped backsides He sees the winding ocean drive And everything was made for you and me All of it was made for you and me 'Cause it just belongs to you and me So let's take a ride and see what's mine Singin' la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la Oh, the passenger She rides and she rides She sees things from under glass She looks through his window's eye She sees the things he knows are hers She sees the bright and hollow sky She sees the city asleep at night She sees the stars are out tonight And all of it is yours and mine And all of it is yours and mine Oh, let's ride and ride and ride and ride Singin' la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la Singin' la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la

about

As you might have guessed, Put Your Arms in the Air! is all about fun, humor, movement and joy. This album follows up our 2017 Parents’ Choice Gold Award winning CD Bubbles. We allowed ourselves plenty of space for being silly on this one, but always return to quality music and positive messages for kids and families.
