2. Christopher Columbus
(Leon Berry & Andy Rahaz)

Mister Christopher Columbus
Sailed the sea without a compass.
And when his man began a rumpus.
Up spoke Christopher Columbus yeah, here's what he said:
"There's land somewhere and until we get there
We will not go wrong if we swing with a song.
Since the world is round-o we'll be safe and sound-o.
Till our goal is found-o we'll keep rhythm bound-o.

Christy's crew was making merry, yeah.
And then they all gave a cheer for Isabelle
Step up to the carousel.
No more mutiny, what a time at sea.
Through diplomacy Christy made history.

Mister Christopher Columbus he used rhythm as a compass.
Music ended all of the rumpus, say bye, bye Mister Christopher Columbus.
There he goes, sailing over the sea into history.
Bye, bye don't forget to write. Bon voyage.
We'll be seeing you real soon...

4. Iko-Iko

We went down to Trinidad to enjoy the sunny weather.
Saw the people on the beach dancing altogether.

[Chorus]

Talking about hey now, hey now, hey now, hey.
Iko-Iko inay oh,
Jackimo finah a-nah-nay
Jackimo finah-nay.

Folklore from around the world bound to take you higher.
The rhythm and the rhyme that the people say will set your mind on fire.

[Chorus]

A ball of gold in a river of milk, (It's a riddle).
Ivory walls in a curtain of silk (it's an egg)

[Chorus]

Took a trip around the world on the land and sea.
Found that the people of the world are just one big family.

[Chorus]

5. Even if you Had
(Lyrics and Music by Bill Wellington, Copyright 1992 BMI)

I would like to ask you, to be my friend.
And friends we will be 'till the very end.
And I want you to know, that I would always be true.
Even if you had, a booger on you.

If your name is Harry or Larry or Barry or Lou,
Sandy or Sarah or Sally or Sue.
Even if you were born in a zoo.
It really doesn't matter because I like you.
Whether you live in a great big house
Or one that isn't even big enough for a mouse.
I need an answer now if your parents will allow.
Before I have a cow!

I would like to ask you, to be my friend.
And friends we will be 'till the very end.
And I want you to know. That I would always be true.
Even if you had, spaghetti on you.

If your skin is white, black, brown, green, purple, red or yellow
I'm sure that you are a jolly good fellow.
You could share my dinner with me if you wish,
How do you like to eat raw fish?
Well even if we don't like to eat the same food,
That doesn't mean that we have to be rude.
We could all get along like Godzilla and King-Kong
If we all sing this song.

I would like to ask you, to be my friend.
And friends we will be 'till the very end.
And I want you to know, that I would always be true.
Even if you had, a booger on you!

6. Knickety Knackety

I married my wife in the month of June.
Knickety knackety now.
I carried her home in a silver spoon.

[Chorus]

Knickety knackety tey a don daffety
willaby wallaby rustical quality
Knickety knackety now, now, now.

She weighed in a lump about 300 pounds.
Knickety knackety now, now, now
She sat in my chair and broke it all down.

[Chorus]

She washed her feet in the kitchen sink.
Knickety knackety now, now, now.
She made her white toes all turn pink.

[Chorus]

She churned in her dad's old boot.
Knickety knackety now, now now.
And for a dasher she used her foot.

[Chorus]

There's some old corn bread on the kitchen shelf.
Knickety knackety now, now, now.
If you want any more you can sing it yourself.

[Chorus]

7. Buffalo Boy

When are we gonna get married, get married, get married?
When are we gonna get married my dear old Buffalo Boy?

I guess it'll be next Thursday, next Thursday,
Next Thursday that is if the weather be good.

Whatcha gonna wear to the wedding, to the wedding, to the wedding?
Whatcha gonna wear to the wedding my dear old Buffalo Boy?

I guess I'll wear my buckskins, my buckskins, my buckskins
I guess I'll wear my buckskins that is if the weather be good.

How ya gonna get to the wedding, to the wedding, to the wedding?
How ya gonna get to the wedding my dear old Buffalo Boy?

Well I guess I'll ride my ox cart, my ox cart, my ox cart.
I guess I'll ride my ox cart that is if the weather be good.

Who ya gonna bring to the wedding my dear old Buffalo Boy?

Well I guess I'll bring my children. Your children? My children,
I guess I'll bring my children, that is if the weather be good.

I didn't know you had any children, any children, any children.
I didn't know you had any children my dear old Buffalo Boy.

Oh yes I have six children, six children, six children.
Yes I have six children, seven if the weather be good.

Well there ain't going to be any good wedding, no wedding, no wedding.
There ain't going to be any wedding, not even if the weather be good!

8. Stay Outta My Room
(Lyrics and Music by Bill Wellington, Copyright 1992 BMI)

Stay outta my room, dear brother of mine.
Stay outta my room if you know what's good for you.
I'll say it again, 'cause if you don't know.
Stay outta my room if you know what's good for you.

I heard you been messing 'round in my space.
I want you to know it's a very personal place.

Stay outta my room, stay outta my room,
Stay outta my room if you know what's good for you.

Now I'm not trying to get into a fight.
I just want you to know how you can treat me right.

Stay outta my room, stay outta my room,
Stay outta my room if you know what's good for you.

So don't be a fool. Take my advice.
Stay outta my room if you know what's good for you.

This is the last time I'll ask you so nice.
Stay outta my room if you know what's good for you.

I want you to know that my privacy
Is something that I take very seriously.

Stay outta my room, stay outta my room,
Stay outta my room if you know what what's good for you.

R-E-S-P-E-C-T
I'll tell you what it means to me.

Stay outta my room, stay outta my room,
Stay outta my room if you know what's good for you.

Stay out of my room!

9. Sail Away Ladies

Whenever I get my new house done
Sail away ladies sail away
Gonna Give my old one to my son.
Sail away ladies sail away

[Chorus]

Don't you rock 'em daddy-o
Don't you rock 'em daddy-o
Don't you rock 'em daddy-o
Sail away ladies sail away

Come along boys and go with me

We'll go back to Tennessee.
Sail away ladies sail away

Hush little children don't you cry
Sail away ladies sail away
You'll all get banjos by and by.
Sail away ladies sail away

[Chorus]

10. Gotta Good Reason
(Lyrics and Music by Bill Wellington, Copyright 1992 BMI)

And now WOOF the station that hears you presents:
"Gotta Good Reason for my Bad Attitude."

Friends, have the burdens of every day life gotten you down? Well here is your chance to let Radio WOOF hear what's bugging you. Our first caller is Lester Late-Again from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Go ahead Lester we're listening.

Well I woke up this morning and I had a big shock!
It said 9:32 on my radio-clock.
That meant that I was an hour late
Because I've got to be at school at a half past eight.
I couldn't even find my high-top shoes you see
I've gotta good reason for my bad attitude.
He's gotta good reason.
I was in a big fuss!
He's gotta good reason.
I missed the school bus.
I had to walk a mile in the pouring rain
And when I got there the teacher said, "You're late again!"
I'll be writing on the blackboard this afternoon,
You see I gotta good reason for my bad attitude.

Well thanks Lester. Boy life can be a real rat race. Our next caller, Polly Put-Upon
thought she would get away from it all by taking a family vacation; touring the entire nation by car in a week! She's somewhere out on I-85 calling us in her car-phone go ahead Polly.

I've been driving in this car for a day and a half,
I want a good dinner and I need a hot bath.
I had three cups of coffee at the coffee shop
And it's 35 miles to the next rest stop!
So please excuse me if I seem rather rude
But I gotta good reason for my bad attitude.
She's gotta good reason.
Been in this car a long time.
She's gotta good reason.

Need a space to call mine,
That I won't have to share with other human beings
Because I know you all too well if you know what I mean.
I just need a little more latitude.
I gotta good reason for my bad attitude.

Well misery loves company and here at Radio WOOF we love all of our miserable callers. Next we'll be talking to Mister Phillip Film-Fan who is frankly offended by what passes today for family entertainment. Ok Phil, fill us in.

Just last week I took the kids with me
Out to see the latest action movie.
This time I thought the plot was really absurd
And every other word was a four-letter word.
Why do these movies have to be so very lewd?
I think I gotta good reason for my bad attitude!

He's gotta good reason.
Why don't they make a movie
He's gotta good reason.
Where the words are really groovy?
Just one time I would like to see a hit
Where they didn't say **** and they didn't say ****.
I really don't think that I'm such a prude,
I've gotta good reason for my bad attitude.

When you have grievances to share, then we'll put them on the air. Yes Radio WOOF has sympathy for all so pick up the phone and give us a call. Tune in tomorrow afternoon for "Gotta Good Reason for My Bad Attitude"

13. Daisy
(Henry Dacre)

There is a flower within my heart, Daisy, Daisy.
Planted one day by a glancing dart, planted by Daisy Bell.
Whether she loves me or loves me not. Sometimes it's hard to tell.
Still I'm longing to share the lot of beautiful Daisy Bell.

Daisy, Daisy give me your answer, do.
I'm half crazy all for the love of you.
It won't be a stylish marriage.
I can't afford a carriage.
But you'll look sweet upon the seat of a bicycle built for two.

Peter, Peter here is my answer true.
I'd be crazy to fall in love with you.
There won't be any marriage
If you cant afford a carriage.
And I'll be dead before I'm wed on a bicycle built for two. Goodbye.

16. Stay All Night

[Chorus]

Stay all night and don't go home, stay all night and don't go home,
Stay all night and don't go home let's sing and dance until the morning.

Tune up the fiddle and rosin up the bow,
Get on your shoes and away we'll go.
Going to dance to the beat of the old banjo
And we won't stop until the morning.

[Chorus]

I just love to eat raw fish,
Oh yes that is my favorite dish.
You can order something else if you wish,
Let's sing and dance until the morning.

[Chorus]

If by chance it should rain
And wash the bridges out again
Then I shall join your refrain
And sing and dance until the morning.

[Chorus]

Knickety knackety now, now, now
Does a chicken have lips or does a cow meow?
It's all folklore any how.
So lets sing and dance until the morning.

[Chorus]
