                                   (Frey/Cassidy)

A Peanut Sat on a Railroad Track

                           (Tune: Polly Wolly Doodle)

                          A peanut sat on a railroad track,
                             His heart was all a-flutter,
                          Round the bend came number ten.
                        Toot! Toot! Peanut butter! SQUISH!

A Penny

                                 (David Harrington)

                        A penny, a penny, a little copper penny.
                    It won't buy anything; it makes your pockets ring.
                           But if you save up five of them,
                            You'll have yourself a nickel.

                       A nickel, a nickel, a gray, metallic nickel.
                     It won't buy very much; a pickle or some such.
                           But if you save up two of them,
                            You'll have yourself a dime.

                          A dime, a dime, a tiny silver dime.
                    It will not buy a lot; a strawberry or one kumquat.
               But if you save up two of them, you'll have yourself a quarter.
              (No!) If you save up three of them, you'll have yourself a quarter.
         (No!) Well, I got confused! With two dimes and a nickel, you'll have yourself a
                                   quarter.

                       A quarter, a quarter, a shiny silver quarter.
                    It won't go very far; but two will buy a candy bar.
                          And if you save up four of them,
                            You'll have yourself a dollar.

                       A dollar, a dollar, a big green paper dollar.
                   Will get you in to see a fair, or buy a chocolate eclair.
                          And if you save enough of them,
                           You'll be a millionaire. (Yeah!)

                             His engine is a shiny red
                           If there's a fire anywhere about
                            Well, I'll be sure to put it out

                    'Cause a fireman is a person in your neighborhood
                              In your neighborhood

                     And a postman is a person in your neighborhood
                        Well, they're the people that you meet
                        When you're walking down the street
                 They're the people that you meet each day

Peter Cottontail (Year-Round Version)

                             Look at Peter Cottontail
                            Hoppin down the bunny trail
                          A rabbit of distinction, so they say

                            He's the king of Bunnyland
                           'Cause his eyes are shiny and
                           When the others go for clover
                           And the big bad wolf appears
                          He's the one that's watching over
                             Givin' signals with his ears

                         And that's why folks in Rabbit Town
                           Feel so free when he's aroun'
                          Peter's helpin' someone ev'ry day

                              Little Peter Cottontail
                            Hoppin' down the bunny trail
                       Happened to stop for carrots on the way

                          Something told him it was wrong
                          Farmer Jones might come along
                         And an awful price he'd have to pay

                          But he knew his legs were faster
                            So he nibbled three or four
                            And he almost met disaster
                          When he heard that shotgun roar

                           Oh, that's how Peter Cottontail
                            Hoppin' down the bunny trail
                          Lost his tail but still he got away

                             What the diet did to Pooh
                       And since we pledged he'd be unwedged

                          He'll be pulled and he'll be tugged
                             And eventually unplugged
                              We'll have a tug of war

                           Has made the Pooh un-fatter

                     'Round and 'round the cobbler's bench
                          The monkey chased the weasel,
                         The monkey thought 'twas all in fun
                              Pop! Goes the weasel.

                           A penny for a spool of thread
                              A penny for a needle,

                              Pop! Goes the weasel.

                           A half a pound of tupenny rice,
                             A half a pound of treacle.
                            Mix it up and make it nice,

                           I've no time to plead and pine,
                             I've no time to wheedle,
                          Kiss me quick and then I'm gone

Pop Goes the Weasel! (Version 2)

                         Johnny's got the whooping cough and
                              Mary's got the measles

                            You may try to sew and sew
                           And never make anything regal
                              So roll it up and let it go
                             Pop -- goes the weasel!

                          A painter would his lover to paint
                             He stood before the easel
                        The monkey jumped all over the paint
                             Pop -- goes the weasel!
                         When his sweetheart she did laugh
                             His temper got so lethal
                           He tore the painting up in half
                             Pop -- goes the weasel!

                           My son and I went to the fair
                              We saw a lot of people
                           We spent a lot of money there
                             Pop -- goes the weasel!
                             I got sick from all the sun
                           My sonny boy got the measles
                              Still we had a lot of fun
                             Pop -- goes the weasel!

                          I climbed up and down the coast
                              To find a golden eagle
                      I climbed the rocks and thought I was close
                             Pop -- goes the weasel!
                              But, alas, I lost my way
                             Saw nothing but a seagull
                          I tore my pants and killed the day
                             Pop -- goes the weasel!

                            I went to the grocery store
                             I thought a little cheese'll
                        Be good to catch a mouse on the floor
                             Pop -- goes the weasel!
                           But the mouse was very bright
                           He wasn't a mouse to wheedle
                       He took the cheese and said "Good night"
                             Pop -- goes the weasel!

                            Up and down the City Road
                               In and out the Eagle
                           That's the way the money goes

                             The monkey's on the table
                            Take a stick and knock it off
                             Pop -- goes the weasel!
                            Put some pepper on its nose
                            And you'll make it sneeze-l
                           Catch it fast before it snaps --

Puff, the Magic Dragon

                              (Peter, Paul and Mary)

                              Puff, the magic dragon
                                Lived by the sea
                          And frolicked in the autumn mist
                            In a land called Honah Lee

                               Little Jackie Paper
                              Loved that rascal Puff,
                       And brought him strings and sealing wax
                            And other fancy stuff. Oh!

                              Puff, the magic dragon
                                Lived by the sea
                          And frolicked in the autumn mist
                            In a land called Honah Lee

                              Puff, the magic dragon
                                Lived by the sea
                          And frolicked in the autumn mist
                            In a land called Honah Lee

                            Together they would travel
                            On a boat with billowed sail
                           Jackie kept a lookout perched
                              On Puff's gigantic tail

                             Noble kings and princes
                          Would bow whene'er they came,
                          Pirate ships would lower their flag
                         When Puff roared out his name. Oh!

                              Puff, the magic dragon
                                Lived by the sea
                          And frolicked in the autumn mist
                            In a land called Honah Lee

                              A dragon lives forever
                               But not so little boys
                           Painted wings and giant rings
                             Make way for other toys.

                            One grey night it happened,
                            Jackie Paper came no more
                           And Puff that mighty dragon,
                            He ceased his fealess roar.

                           His head was bent in sorrow,
                             Green scales fell like rain,
                            Puff no longer went to play
                              Along the cherry lane.

                            Without his life-long friend,
                             Puff could not be brave,
                            So Puff that mighty dragon
                           Sadly slipped into his cave. Oh!

                              (Sing Chorus Softly)

                              Puff, the magic dragon
                                Lived by the sea
                          And frolicked in the autumn mist
                            In a land called Honah Lee

                              (Sing Chorus Loudly)

                              Puff, the magic dragon
                                Lived by the sea
                          And frolicked in the autumn mist
