Lyrics for  -  From A To Mr. Z

© 2012  What the Zuck Publishing

1. Up To Town

I’ve been sitting in my room trying to write a little music

Looking to write something unique for my new shtick 

Oh no, it’s a little harder then I thought

So let me jump the hump

Oh no, let the sounds take me away; let’s go

Up to town where the girls get down and the boys get down

and we all get jiggy with it 

In a place so contrived a little more then it should be

Guess I’m hoping that I’d write a little something more groovy

Oh no, am I a little old fashioned?

Oh no, let me jump this hump

Take it slow and the sound will come

Let’s go, let’s go

Up to town where the girls get down and the boys get down

And we all get jiggy with it

It’s the song that we sing along

And our body gets strong and we all get jiggy with it

 

Don’t get sly with it                     Don’t reply with it or be shy with it  just be - ahahahah

just stand by it

nananananananananana

(back to verse 1)

2. There's 26 Letters

I’m a big kid now and I’m ready for the first day in School

I’m a big kid now and I’m ready for the fist day it’s so cool

 

My teacher will be teaching all the things I have to know

Like how to read and write so that my brain will start to grow Yes I can touch my head and touch my shoulders and my toes..

Take a ride on the ABC’s .we know!

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

There’s 26 letters

 

I’m a big kid now and I’m ready for some letters

To make new words

I’m a big kid now let’s start putting them together

First second and third

 The classroom is the place where we learn a lot all day

 With all the things we do, we still find sometime to play …we can count up to 100 and the alphabet  we go to take a ride on the ABC’s we know

If I’d like to write the number 15, it starts with a 1 and ends with a 5

If I’d like to write the number 16, it starts with a 1 and ends with a 6

If I’d like to write the number 18, it starts with a 1 and ends with an 8.

If I’d like to write the number 19, it starts with a 1 and ends with a 9.

If I…if I..if I…If I can have your attention please

I’m here to remind you ….that If I am a teen I start with a 1 but I really am a 10 ..yes I am

BUT THIS IS HOW

 

WRITE THE TEENS YEAH!!!

7. I'm A Dinosaur

I'm a Dinosaur

I’m quite a lot bigger then your average animal

I might look scary, but I’m really just a herbivore

I am tremendous with my humongous appetite.

I’m not extinct

I’m still roaming I am out of site!

 Oh oh oh oh I’m a dinosaur

Oh oh oh looking for a place to store

All the things that I have that I truly adore

Before they discover I’m a dinosaur

 And take them away

and take me away too..

 

Remember Dino from the Flintstones on the TV set

I can be tamed; even I can be a fun pet

All the girls and boys they’d think that I was pretty cool

For show and tell they even may want to bring me to school.

 

Oh oh oh oh I’m a dinosaur

Oh oh oh looking for a place to store

All the things that I have that I truly adore

Before they discover I’m a dinosaur

And take them away

and take me away too..

 

Don’t let them find me, can you hide me, they are getting near

The politicians, the policemen want a souvenir

It’s getting hard to just pretend. Wish I could disappear

And If I let a big roar out..

Will they run away from here…

 

Oh oh oh oh I’m a dinosaur

Oh oh oh looking for a place to store

All the things that I have that I truly adore

Before they discover I’m a dinosaur

And take them away

and take me away too

8. It Starts With You

Let us begin with the words YES I CAN

And throw away all those No I can’t Do’s

Being kind to yourself 

Be a good friend

Not just to others especially to you

It starts with you so give yourself a hugGive yourself a hug …Give yourself a hug yeahIt starts with you so give yourself a hug give yourself a hug yeah!

Continue with a big smile on your face and make it contagious so others will too.

It is the joy that you give to yourself first…Spread it to others and know that it’s true   It starts with you so give yourself a hug/Give yourself a hug …Give yourself a hug yeah/It starts with you so give yourself a hug and say I LOVE ME!

 

9. Love Is Everything That You Are

The joy you bring to me

Makes my heart feel so warm right now

You are my angel..a blessing ..I am so glad that you were born …You make this world a better place

 

I sing this lullaby to help you go to sleep ….yes I do

I love you…yes it’s true.

I’m the hand that rocks your cradle go to sleep

Let’s count some sheep 1,2,3

I’m the hand that rocks your cradle ….

 

Love is a safe space

And you will always be safe right here with me

And life is so wonderful ..

 

All is well and so tomorrow brings

a new beginning and I will be happy to hold you near..

(3 x)I sing this lullaby so close your eyes  sweet dreams

 

Love is everything that you are

The joy you bring to me

Makes my heart feel so warm right now

You are my angel..a blessing ..I am so glad that you were born …You make this world a better place

 

I sing this lullaby to help you go to sleep ….yes I do

10. Play That Song

I bet you want it…. (4x)

Trying hard each week and doing all the best you can do

It’s not so easy when it’s all work and not enough play

If you need a break,  I hope this song, and music takes you far away .. Let the rhythm and the beats remind you to let go

 

No better way, no better place, no better time ,do it today

No better case, just keep the good, take all the bad and erase…

 

I bet you want it!

Hearing the music, the band, and the people say

All the way from New York city to Monterey.

It’s the beat of the drum and the guitar strum

It’s for me, it’s for you. .PLAY THAT SONG!

 

I think it’s time for you to treat yourself to something brand new

A place where u can smile and say, I’m glad I’m at the show!

It doesn’t matter where they are, what they do, what others think and say.. Cause we ALL know  that WE ARE SO EVER WONDERFUL

 

It’s in the dance that moves and grooves each of the beats and rhythms.  It leaves you feeling so brand new and helps you feel the passion. More than just words that we have sung will help but not be all that’s  left

 

It’s all about the song that takes you far away…

Solo over chorus

Then bridge twice

Then break down of chorus with only acoustic guitar

Then ride out
