Dogs, Frogs, and Nature Songs

Charlie, the dog, and I were out on a walk
Down by the river, we started to talk
About how diff’rent the river looked
No matter where we walked or what path we took
Charlie wagged his tail and asked if I knew
What does the river want to do?


"I know, I do! I know, I do! I know, I do! I know, I do!,"
Said the mighty eagle way up in a tree
"I am here ev’ry day. I know what I see!
It twists and turns, left and right
Twists and turns, left and right
That's what the river wants to do,
That's what the river wants to do!"


"No, no, no, no, No, no, no, no, No, no, no, no, No, no, no, no!”
Thumped the beaver sittin’ on a log
"I am here ev’ry day, just ask the frog.
It hops and jumps, up and down
Hops and jumps, up and down
That's what the river wants to do.
That's what the river wants to do!"


“Really? Oh, really?"
Said the fish from the pool
"That is not how I learned it when I was in school.
Fast and slow, jiggle and tickle
Fast and slow, jiggle and tickle
That's what the river wants to do!
That's what the river wants to do!"


The three started yelling about who got it right
Charlie barked, please, can we stop the fight!
Twists and turns, left and right
Twists and turns, left and right
Hops and jumps, up and down
Hops and jumps, up and down
Fast and slow, jiggle and tickle
Fast and slow, jiggle and tickle
All of these things and more are true
That's what the river wants to do
That's what the river wants to do
That's what the river wants to do!
That's what the river wants to do
That's what the river wants to do!

Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are


When the blazing sun is gone
When the nothing shines upon
Then you show your little light
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are


Then the traveler in the dark
Thanks you for your tiny spark
She could not see which way to go
If you did not twinkle so
Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are


Star light, star bright
The first star I see tonight
I wish I may, I wish I might
Have the wish I wish tonight
Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are


Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are

The itsy bitsy spider went up the waterspout
Down came the rain and washed the spider out
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain
And the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again


The spider climbed up the pipe when it was dry
There wasn’t one puffy cloud in the sky
Then the clouds came and the water poured
And the spider came out on a tiny surfboard


This happens in the cycle‐ a normal rotation
Don’t worry boys and girls; we’ll give an explanation
Let’s talk about the water that you always drink
You know, the water that comes out of your sink


It’s been here for years, years galore!
It’s passed through the bodies of birds and dinosaurs
Wow! Are you serious? Can this really be?
I might be drinkin’ water that was dinosaur pee? (Ew, that’s gross!)


Ha ha! Don’t worry; the hydrologic cycle gets it clean in a hurry
It evaporates in the sky, purifies, then precipitates right back on you and I


The itsy bitsy spider went up the waterspout
Down came the rain and washed the spider out
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain
And the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again


Everything alive uses water you see
Bacteria, fish, elephants, you and me!
It comes out our bodies and hits the ground
Then the hydrologic cycle goes another round


See, when water dries that’s evaporation
Water vapors cool and that’s condensation
The cool water falls and that’s precipitation
Ooh baby it’s rainin’, Oh what a sensation!


Precipitation happens and it never stops
It’s in the puddles, the floods, and every raindrop
Then out comes the sun heating up all the water
It turns to vapor, as the water gets hotter


It cools down in the sky, meets with dust
Then the clouds, like cotton, form a blanket over us
The clouds turn grey, the rain falls my friend
And the hydrologic cycle starts all over again


The itsy bitsy spider went up the waterspout
Down came the rain and washed the spider out
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain
And the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again


It’s rainin,’ rainin’
(Ooh baby) It’s rainin,’ rainin’


It’s rainin,’ rainin’
(Ooh baby) It’s rainin,’ rainin’


It’s rainin,’ rainin,’
(Ooh baby) It’s rainin,’ rainin’


It’s rainin,’ rainin’
(Ooh baby) It’s rainin,’ rainin’…rainin’!


The itsy bitsy spider went up the waterspout
Down came the rain and washed the spider out
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain
And the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again.

This little pig went to market
This little pig stayed home
This little pig had roast beef
This little pig had none
And this little pig cried, “Wee, wee, wee”
All the way home
And this little pig cried, “Wee, wee, wee”
All the way home


This little pig went to market
This little pig stayed home
This little pig had roast beef
This little pig had none
And this little pig cried, “Wee, wee, wee”
All the way home
And this little pig cried, “Wee, wee, wee”
All the way home

It’s too soon for “Goodnight Moon”
I want to hear my book about Daniel Boone
It’s much too early to go to bed
I want to have fun instead
I want to travel with Babar
And go to Where the Wild Things Are
I want to float away with The Red Balloon
So it’s too soon for Goodnight Moon


Take another book from the pile
And read to me for a little while
I want to roam with Winnie the Pooh
And bounce, bounce, bounce with Tigger, too
I want to romp with Ramona the Pest
Then ride The Polar Express
I had a nap just this afternoon
So it’s too soon for Goodnight Moon


Read another book to me
Like The Princess and the Pea
Won’t you read me Goldilocks?
And maybe then Fox in Socks
Then I think that we will find
There’s just enough time for Madeline
Just a couple of stories more
That’s all I’m asking for


I’m not ready to call it quits
I’m not sleepy, not one bit
I want to ride with Robin Hood
Then drive The Little Engine That Could
I want to fly with Peter Pan
Then eat Green Eggs and Ham
There’s lots more books in the other room
So it’s too soon, It’s much too soon
It’s really too soon for Goodnight Moon

It’s a bow‐wow world when we work together
And everyone’s keepin’ it green
So go help the students clean the river
And turn off your TV
Take a lesson from the dogs you just saw runnin’
In a pack of seven or eight
‘Cause it’s a bow‐wow world when we treat her better
And she will appreciate
Every effort that you make to keep her clean
Now everybody sing “Go Green! Go Green!”


Hey, don’t sit like a bump on a log
Come and join up with the Conservation Dogs
Stop the video games, time to see through the fog
Come and help out the Conservation Dogs


Well it’s a bow‐wow world when we work together
And everyone’s plantin’ new trees
It sure makes the planet look much better
And it makes homes for squirrels and bees
Stop bein’ so lazy buying bottled water‐ go reusable instead!
And take a lesson from the dogs that work in the pack‐ wastin’ less puts us all ahead

Every effort that you make to save the planet
Is somethin’ that the earth won’t take for granted


Hey, don’t sit like a bump on a log
Come and join up with the Conservation Dogs
Stop the video games, time to see through the fog
Come and help out the Conservation Dogs


Hey, don’t sit like a bump on a log
Come and join up with the Conservation Dogs
Stop the video games, time to see through the fog
Come and help out the Conservation Dogs


Now think about Earth how it’s all connected
And how do you like to feel?
If all you had to eat was a pile of rubbish
Or chemicals rust and steel
Or what if we had no animals or plants
We lived in one big graveyard?
We gotta treat Earth just the way we treat ourselves
And it really shouldn’t be too hard
Every effort you make to keep her clean
Now everybody sing “Go Green! Go Green!”


Hey, don’t sit like a bump on a log
Come and join up with the Conservation Dogs
Stop the video games, time to see through the fog
Come and help out the Conservation Dogs


Hey, don’t sit like a bump on a log
Come and join up with the Conservation Dogs
Stop the video games, time to see through the fog
Come and help out the Conservation Dogs
