Acorns:
Acorns, Acorns, proud we stand. Always lend a helping hand.
Tasha:
I can help you climb a hill, I’ve got a badge for hiking.
Austin:
And I can help you learn to ride. ‘Cause I’ve got one, I’ve got one for biking.
Acorns:
Acorns, Acorns, proud we stand. Always lend a helping hand.
Austin:
I can help you cross the street, you needn’t be afraid.
Tasha:
And if you’re hurt, I’ll patch you up. I’m trained to do, trained to do first aid.
Tyrone:
I just got my compass badge. I’ll show you east from west.
Tasha:
‘Cause when it comes to helping folks, we Acorns are the best!
Acorns:
Acorns, Acorns, none so proud. One more time now nice and loud. Acorns, Acorns, proud we stand. Always lend a helping hand.

I Want to be Number Three
From "The Two Musketeers"
All my life, how I've yearned for adventure, to do something that's meaningful, too
Sick of spending my time in the palace all alone and with nothing to do
How I wish I were part of a trio, to be third is my dreamiest dream
I would do anything that you ask me to be part of the musketeer team
Number three, number three, it's the number for me, it's the number to be
Number three, number three, it's the third slot for me, I wanna be number three!
Do you think maybe you could include me? Can't you see all the hope in my eyes?
I'm begging you, please don't exclude me, I want so to be one of you guys
Number three, number three, it's the number for me, I'm sure that you'll agree
Number three, number three, we'd be you, you and me, I want to be number three!
We can tell that you really do mean what you sing but a third musketeer just isn't our thing
Number three, number three, you must let me be
We're sorry, but it cannot be!
Number three, number three, I'm you're third, don't you see? I wanna be...
But you cannot be!
I want to be number three!
But you cannot be!
I want to be number three!
But you cannot be!
I want to be number three!
But you cannot be!
I want to be number three!

In the Name of the Empress
From "The Two Musketeers"
We're guards of her lady, the Empress, the powerful Empress of France
We love our careers locking up musketeers, all in the name of the Empress!
We both do our jobs with precision and blind dedication to rules
What we like to say best is "You're under arrest!", all in the name of the Empress!
In the name of the Empress, the Empress, the Empress! What else can be left to discuss?
In the name of the Empress, the Empress, the Empress!
It gives life some purpose and meaning for us
We say "Arret!", that means "Halt!", we say "Halt!", that means "Stop!"
We say "Stop!" and we know that that's clear, you can run
No, we can't
You can hide
What, in here?
But we'll get you, my dear musketeers
In the name of the Empress, the Empress, the Empress!
It's like being police for a queen
In the name of the Empress, the Empress, the Empress!
It gives you a reason for just being mean!
All in the name of the Empress!
All in the name of the Empress! All in the name of the Empress!

You know, Uniquor, you can be an Acorn, too.
Uniqua (speaking):

The Secret of Snow
From "The Secret of Snow"
The secret of snow, the secret of snow, the secret is something I wanted to know
But all of us are playing together
We’re going to be happy, whatever the weather
The sun could be shining
A blizzard could blow
When you’ve got friends, you don’t care about snow
The secret of snow...
Secret of snow...
The secret of snow...
The rest: Secret of snow...
We already know...
Already know...
The secret of snow
Try not to care if it’s snowing, try not to care if it’s not
Better to care for the people right there, care for those great friends you’ve got!
I still like snow, still wish it would fall
But it seems there’s no secret, no secret at all!
I’ll smile at the snowflakes, or sunny blue skies,
I’ll smile cause of you, cause of all you guys!
It’s you guys who give me that wintery glow
When you’ve got good friends, who cares about snow?
The secret of snow...

I Love Snow
From "Secret Of Snow"
(tune: Jingle Bells)
(tune: Jingle Bells)
I love snow, I love snow, falling from the sky
Love to see a blizzard piling white stuff very high
Oh, I love snow, I love snow, nothing's quite as nice
Snow forts, snowmen, snow angels and snow cats and snow mice
One thing that I’d love, one thing I'd like to know
What’s the secret recipe for starting up the snow, snow, snow, snow!
Not sure how it’s done, on that I’m not quite clear
But if I could just find out how, I’d make it snow all year!
Oh, I love snow, I love snow, piled up cold and sweet
Get that snowplow started up and roaring down the street
Oh, I love snow, I love snow, why can’t it snow now?!
Sure would love to make it snow, I just don’t quite know how!
Love to see a blizzard piling white stuff very high

You’ll Love Snow [Duet]
Come on, cowboy guy, join me on my quest
Heading north sounds good, I’m tired of the west, hey, hey, hey!
It’s a long, long way, but if we move real fast
I’ll get to make a snowman and I’ll eat snowcones at last!
Oh, you’ll love snow, you’ll love snow, it’s the best of all
Come with me and we’ll head north and get that snow to fall
Oh, you’ll love snow, you’ll love snow...
You’ll Love Snow [Trio]
Come on, jungle dude, join us on our trip
Jungle life’s too hot, the snow sounds pretty hip, hip, hip, hip!
We’ve got far to go, but if we really run
We can do some sledding and catch snowflakes on our tongue!
Oh, you’ll love snow, you’ll love snow
Nothing’s quite as great
Let’s go way up north and then make it precipitate
Oh, you’ll love snow, you’ll love snow...

The Masked Retriever
Posted on | Tuesday, October 26, 2010 | No Comments
From "The Masked Retriever"
I am a great librarian, I'm full of information
I know every book on every shelf and every stack
They're here for you to borrow, so come on in and take 'em
But you better keep track...of when it's time to bring them back
'Cause sometimes I become The Masked Retriever!
Hunting down books that are missing, lost or late
The Masked Retriever! I am The Masked Retriever!
I find them even if they're hiding in another state!
People think librarians are glamorous and stylish
We always look so elegant, we aim to please
Yes, of course, that's true, but it's not the whole story
'Cause I have a secret side...a side that no one ever sees
Yes, sometimes I become The Masked Retriever!
Hunting down borrowers whose books are overdue
The Masked Retriever! I am The Masked Retriever!
So, don't forget your due date, or I'm coming after you!
That's when I become The Masked Retriever!
Someone's got to do it and that somebody is me
The Masked Retriever! I am The Masked Retriever!
The bravest, boldest hero that you'll probably ever see
The Masked Retriever! I am The Masked Retriever!
The bravest, boldest hero that you'll probably ever see!
The Masked Retriever [Interlude]
For no one can outrun The Masked Retriever!
I'll stay in hot pursuit on my speedy, trusty horse
To Mexico!
The Masked Retriever! I am The Masked Retriever!
No one can outrun me, including you, of course!

I Love the Library
From "The Masked Retriever"
The library, the library, I love, love, love the library
One thing you should know about me, I love, love, love...the library!
It's a place that's bright and warm
It's a place that's calm and quiet
It's a place where you can read a book and you don't...have to buy it
The chairs are nice and comfy
The lighting is just right, any book you want is here
And if I could...I'd stay all night! I like to read biographies and scientific theory
There's comic books and cookbooks, too, and the history of...Lake Erie
I find a book and sit and read by the light of the tasteful lamp
And if you want to take it home, I'll stamp it with...my trusty stamp
What if I want a particular book that's high up on a shelf?
We've got rolling footstools and you can get it down yourself
And if the book's up really high?
That's no tricky matter, just come and ask the librarian and I'll climb my fancy ladder
The library, the library, I love, love, love the library
You love it just as much as me
We love, love, love...the library!

A Happy, Happy Ending
From "The Masked Retriever"
Now I'm happy and I have this happy look, 'cause now I've got the time to finish up this book
Hey, Don Austin, I'm glad to let you do it, you did the right thing, you came here to renew it
I don't have to run off like a bandit for the border
I don't have to worry that my books are not in order...
Looks like we got us a happy, happy ending
It all went down and nobody's sore
Looks like we got us a happy, happy ending
Better than the ending I was picturing before!
Now I'm smiling and here's what it's all about, when he returns that book, then I can take it out
First did our guarding, but now, we're happy guards, 'cause now that things are settled, our job is not so hard
I'm so pleased that soon that book will be back in the stacks
We're so pleased that now we can just hang out and relax...
Looks like we got us a happy, happy ending
It all worked out and everybody won
Looks like we got us a happy, happy ending
The best kind of ending when adventures are done!

I Got a Secret Identity
From "Front Page News"
(Tasha Solo)
I'm usually just a photographer snappin' pictures for the news
I try to take some good shots that the newspaper can use
But if I hear some kind of trouble or see it with my eyes
I spin and snap and just like that...I change my whole disguise
I got a secret identity, it's crazy but it's true
Yeah, I got a secret identity and nobody knows but you...nobody knows but you...
When I'm a superhero, I run with super speed
I zip and zoom around the town and rescue those in need
And when I am all finished, I strike this nifty pose
I spin and snap and just like that...I'm in my normal clothes
I got a secret identity, it's crazy but it's true
Yeah, I got a secret identity and nobody knows but you...nobody knows but you...

The Gods of Mount Olympus
From "Match on Mt. Olympus"
Come on, let's go above the clouds to a place that's way up high
Where ancient gods control the world from their thrones up in the sky
I'm not sure that we'll be welcome
Aw, come on, don't be a wimpus
Wimpus?
Come on with me and we'll go see...the gods of Mount Olympus
Up above on Mount Olympus is a world all soft and white
Where we'll ask the gods to stop the rain and be back before tonight
I agree it would be better if the sun were out again
So may I suggest an heroic quest
A heroic task
Let's go and ask the gods of Mount Olympus
We should take with us an offering, something that might appease
Cause the gods are often grumpy and they can be hard to please
We could teach them basketball!
Now you're talkin'!
Count me in, my dear companion, you don't have to ask me twice
Let's go and find this Tasha, she might even be nice
It'll be a great adventure playing basketball in the sky
So come on, let's go
Together we'll go
Where the rain don't fall
And the wind don't blow
And they can't say no to some guys from below the clouds of Mount Olympus!
So come with me and we'll go and see the gods of Mount Olympus!

Basketball
From "Match on Mt. Olympus"
Way down on the earth below, we play a game that you should know and it's called basketball
Basketball...
You don't have to be real tall, but you will need a proper ball, it's called a basketball
Basketball...
We're gonna show you how to play it, watch us and you'll see
When you bounce a ball it's called a dribble, let's go on the count of three!
One, two, one-two-three! Now dribble...
You can do it
Dribble...
There's nothing to it
Dribble...
You're looking good
Dribble...
We knew you would
Ha, ha! Wow, this is fun!
Come on, let's take it up the court
I think it's my new favorite sport, oh I love basketball
Basketball...
Knowing how to dribble is a good start, but now it's time to learn my favorite part of basketball
Basketball...
This is where we put the ball through the basket, now pass it here to me
He shoots, he scores! Two points!
Fantastic!
Now dribble on the count of three! One, two, one-two-three!
Now dribble...
Hey, I can do it
Dribble...
There's nothing to it
Dribble...
Try the other hand
Dribble...
You're doing grand!
Over here!
Oh, we love basketball!
Basketball [Part II]
We're gonna show you how to play it, watch us and you'll see
A pass is when you throw the ball to your teammate
Let's do it on the count of three!
One, two, one-two-three! Now pass...
Pass it to me
And pass...
You see, it's easy
Pass...
That's how you do it
Pass...
There's nothing to it

Where Oh Where has my Dinosaur Gone?
From "Caveman's Best Friend"
Chorus
Oh where oh where has my dinosaur gone? Oh where oh where can he be?
I just need to put this red leash back on, where oh where can he be?
He's only a puppy just seven months old
One of the sweetest that I've ever sold
He's worth more to Austin than pebbles or gold
Where oh where can he be?
(Repeat Chorus)
We played in the park then he left me alone
Then he took off with this big, juicy bone
I know what it's like, got a pup of my own
Where oh where can he be?

Now Would be a Good Time to Whistle
From "Caveman's Best Friend"
Now would be a good time to whistle, now would be the time to make that sound
Now would be a fine time to whistle as we're sinking deeper in the ground!
I've always had the talent of wiggling my ears, it works great at parties, I've been doing it for years
But whistling is something this fireman can't handle, it sounds like I'm trying to blow out a birthday candle...
Well...I can pat my helmet and rub my belly, too, can even tap my foot while standing on one shoe
But when I try to whistle, I sound like a baboon, it sounds more like I'm trying...to blow up a balloon!
Now would be a good time to whistle, now would be the time to make that sound
Now would be a fine time to whistle as we're sinking deeper in the ground!
I have no trouble humming and I always like to clap, sometimes when I'm bored, I like to make my fingers snap
But whistling is something my skills just don't compare, I pucker up and blow real hard but all I get is air...
Now would be a good time to whistle...now would be a good time to whistle...
Now would be a fine time, now would be a good time, now would be the time to whi-i-i-stle
Now would be a good time to whistle!
Now would be the time to make that sound
Now would be a fine time to whistle
As we're sinking deeper...in the ground!

I Wanna/Gotta Pet
From "Caveman's Best Friend"
I've got everything a caveman would need, cave paintings on the wall, cave books I can read
Got a bed of granite and a fridge made of slate, got a rock music player, it sounds really great
But something's missing deep in my soul, a friend to complete me, make me feel whole
If there was one last thing in this world I could get, I'd want a prehistoric, huggable, lovable pet!
I want a pet, mm-hmm, I want a pet, that's right, someone to play with, to go fetch a bone
I want a pet, mm-hmm, I want a pet, that's right, I want a tail-waggin' friend of my own!
I finally found the pet of my dreams, I really like him a lot, he likes me, it seems
I guess he's kinda wild, but he's so very nice and he was only five pebbles, a pretty good price
I was all alone when I walked to the store, but then I walked out with a new dinosaur
It's the greatest day that I have had yet, I got a prehistoric, huggable, lovable pet!
I got a pet, oh yeah, I got a pet, mm-hmm, someone to go fetch whatever I have thrown
I got a pet, mm-hmm, I got a pet, that's right, I got a tail-waggin' friend of my own!
I hope the good times with my pup don't end, 'cause he is this caveman's number one best friend
When it comes to this purchase, I don't have a regret, he's just the sweetest little pet that I have ever met
I got a pet, oh yeah, I got a pet, mm-hmm, a soft companion in this age of stone
I got a pet, mm-hmm, I got a pet, that's right, I got a tail-waggin' friend of my own!

From "Ranch Hands from Outer Space"
Chorus
Oh my, oh my!
Oh my, oh my...
That's quite a sight, that's quite a sight, oh my, oh my!
Oh my, oh my...
But something about it just ain't quite right!
This is not what I had in mind, I wanted orange, but not that kind
I appreciate your work for sure, but you got to do some more
Maybe a different fruit?
Ahhh! (Repeat Chorus)
But still there is something that's not quite right!
You changed that fast, I will admit, but this new look still ain't quite it
Could you give it one more shot? And give it all you've got
So, no to banana...
I know what!
We'll get to work and change it
We'll set this whole thing straight
We'll make it into something we know you'll think is great
It's everybody's favorite, no matter where they're from
And plus, it goes just perfect with a plateful of zum-zum!
(Repeat Chorus)
But still not right, it's still not right, it still just not quite right!
Oh my, oh my!

I Gotta Get to Work
From "Ranch Hands From Outer Space"
Chorus
I gotta, gotta, gotta get to work, there's a lotta, lotta, lot of work to do
And not- a, not-a, not a lot of time but I'll keep on working till my work is through!
I gotta mend the fences, pull out weeds, give my horse the food it needs
Clear the brush and paint the wall, then sweep out the horses' stall
Take the trash out, sweep the floor, then put up the new barn door
Water plants and mow the lawn, at this rate, I'll work till dawn!
(Repeat Chorus)
I gotta trim the hedges, clean my room, find the mop and fix the broom
Build a wall, pick up the leaves, wash the mud stains off my sleeves
Cook my dinner, eat it, too, fix the big hole in my shoe
Sure would love to have some fun, but a rancher's work is never done!

From "Escape from Fairytale Village"
Hey, guy, why so shy? You ran away when I tried to say "Hi"
I'll make lunch if you care to stop, so don't hide behind that lollipop
Gee, sorry, gotta say no, gotta run right now, gotta run, gotta go
Hey, guy, why so shy? We'll have a meal if you stop by
My kitchen's warm and comfy, too, I've got a big kettle on just for you
Gee, sorry, hate to be rude, you can heat that kettle for some other dude
Hey, guy, why so shy? You just might like it if you give it a try
So take a chance and stop and stay instead of hiding out and running away
She really wants to eat me, I've got to get away
I really need some company to share my lunch today
I don't want to get cooked in onions, broth and butter
Maybe she won't see me if I hide behind this shutter
Hey guy, my oh my! You're not up for lunch and I don't see why
What does a nice witch have to do to spend some time hanging out with you?
Gee, sorry, I've gotta dash, before you make a meal of me! I'm off in a flash!
Gotta go, gotta run, gotta split, gotta scoot, gotta dash! Gotta dash! Gotta dash!
I'll make lunch if you care to stop, so don't hide behind that lollipop

Why Does Everyone Want to Eat Me?
From "Escape from Fairytale Village"
I've gotta go, I've gotta fly, later, ta-ta, see you, bye-bye!
I'll make a feast
I'll huff and puff
I'm moving on, I've had enough, it's been swell and it's been great but you won't get me on your plate
I'm glad you're pleased to meet me but this is no way to greet me
Why, why on why...does everyone want to eat me?
Oh, please don't go, why can't you stay?
One hour more, don't go away
Don't travel west or to the east
Just stay right here and join our feast
It's been grand and it's been real, but I will not be your next meal
I can't let them defeat me, swindle, trick or cheat me
Why, why oh why...does everyone want to eat me?
A paper boy should never leave till he's emptied out his sack
They're right, I know, but I've gotta go and I'm never coming back
Hey there, don't go, don't run, just sit!
I'm through, I'm done, enough, that's it!
Oh no, he's gone, he's quick, he's fast!
I'm out, I'm safe, I'm free at last! It was fun, a hoot, a ball, but I must go...oh no, a wall!
I'm trapped and so they beat me, what an awful way to treat me
Why, why oh why...does everyone want...to eat me?

Newspaper!
From "Escape from Fairytale Village"
My job is kinda funny, but it's one I really like
I ride around all morning on my rusty, trusty bike
When I get to your driveway, I will pull a paper out
I'll toss it to your front door and this is what I'll shout...
Newspaper! Newspaper! Spread it out and read with joy
Newspaper! Newspaper! Courtesy of your local paper boy!
This morning I woke up early, well before the sun came out
Cause today I start a new route or you might say a new route
Who knows just where I'm going, might be close, it might be far
But I know one thing for certain, I'll deliver like a star...
Newspaper! Newspaper! Spread it out and read with joy
Newspaper! Newspaper! Courtesy of your local paper boy!
Newspaper! [Part II]
Well, now I'm off and riding through the woods and past some trees
This day could not be finest, smell the flowers, feel the breeze
My old bike's moving nicely and I'm feeling rather swell
Can't wait to find that first house where I'll ride right up and yell...
Newspaper! Newspaper! Spread it out and read with joy
Newspaper! Newspaper! Courtesy of your local paper boy!
These woods are kinda thick here and it's not exactly bright
I guess I do prefer it on a road with lots of light
Well, even if it's creepy and the woods get even thicker
I still must get my route done, I'll just have to pedal quicker...

Do It Myself
From "Sinbad Sails Alone"
Do it myself, I can do it myself, that’s the only way to get the job done right
Do it myself, I can do it myself, stay in your chair and stay out of my sight
I started out badly but I know I’ll improve
You’ll only improve if you sit and don’t move
You don’t know the ropes, your sea legs aren’t great, and as a first mate, you’re pretty second-rate
I was just trying to help, Sinbad.
I don’t need help, I can do it myself!
Can I help with---
No!
What if I tie the---
No!
I’ll try to fix the---
No! You’ll only break my flow!
I can probably swab the---
No!
Or help raise the---
No! It’s a complicated boat, it must be handled by a pro
Do it myself, I can do it myself, two hands on deck and both hands are mine
Do it myself, I can do it myself, I’m a solitary sailor on the foamy brine
Do it myself, I can do it myself, it’s a one-man ship and a one-man show
Do it myself, I can do it myself, the rainbow is calling and it’s time to go!

I’m Sinbad the Sailor
From "Sinbad Sails Alone"
I’m Sinbad the sailor, I sail the seas alone
I haven’t got a first mate and I haven’t got a phone
I’m Sinbad the sailor, my sailing skills are great
I’ve sailed around the seven seas, I wished that there were eight
Blow ye wind, blow so I don’t have to row
Blow ye wind, blow...I’m Sinbad...the sailor!

Ninjas Like Pie Too

(tune: "Blue Tail Fly")
We can’t seem to get up this hill
We tumble down like Jack and Jill
Just once, oh once, wouldn’t it be nice...
If we could get a pie slice!
Cause ninjas like pies too, we do! Yeah, ninjas like pies too, it’s true
Oh, ninjas like pies too, don’t you? Boy, I wanna piece of that pie!
This is our chance, we will not waste it
Keep on, I know that we will taste it
As we go from tree to tree...we’ll get to the bakery!
Cause ninjas like pies too, we do! yeah, ninjas like pies too, it’s true
Oh, ninjas like pies too, don’t you? Boy, I’d like a piece of that pie!

The Great Pie
From "Samurai Pie"
I’ve had so many good pies here upon my plate
Even very good pies, but you could not call them great!
But there is that one pie that makes an empress shout:
“For goodness sakes, what a pie! I’ve sure been missing out!”
The Great Pie...
The Great Pie...
The Great Pie...
The Great Pie...
Is better than ice cream
Better than cake
And it’s very, very, very...hard to make
The Great Pie! The Great Pie, The Great Pie!
The Great Pie!
The crust is extra crusty, it’s rounder than the sun
It’s bigger than a table, it almost weighs a ton
You need 200 fillings if you ever plan to make it!
Come on, get on with it!
We’d really like to take it!
The Great Pie...
Is better than candy
Or chocolate cake
And it’s very, very, very...hard to make
The Great Pie!
The Great Pie [Reprise]
I’ve always wished to make pies and do it on my own
And then I met my teacher, pie master Tyrone
He taught me many secrets and I finally made that
And now I stand before you in my...puffy bakers hat! The Great Pie...
All except Ta: The Great Pie, The Great Pie!
The Great Pie...is better than ice cream
Better than cake
And it was really, really, really...hard to make
The Great Pie!

The Show Must Go On
From "Best Clowns In Town"
I was heading to the circus when you made me miss my train
We’ve tried and tried to catch it, it’s really been a pain
But now the train is gone and there’s nothing else to do
But everyone needs the circus and the circus needs you...
The show must go on, the show must go on!
The seats are filled, the people clapping
Their excited feet are tapping
The show must go on, the show must go on and go on it will!
But how?
We’re clowns, we’ll find a way!
The jugglers need to juggle, the crowds, they need to cheer
The fearless lion tamer needs a lion he can fear
The spotlight needs to shine and the trapeze needs to swing
And the ringmaster is needed to direct everything...
The show must go on, the show must go on!
The stage is set, the lights are flashing
Drums are beating, cymbals crashing
The show must go on, the show must go on, and go on it will!
Are you sure?
Positive!
The tightrope needs a walker, the tigers need a cage
Amazing acrobats need to leap across the stage
All the little children need something great to see
Cause everyone needs the circus and circus needs me...
Sing it!

That’s Not Funny
From "Best Clowns In Town"
(tune: "Goodnight Ladies"/"Merrily We Roll Along")
(tune: "Goodnight Ladies"/"Merrily We Roll Along")
He can take a balloon and make a big giraffe
That is pretty clever, but it will not make me laugh
We will run around you a fall into a pile
Anyone can do that, I will not crack a smile
I can do the cha-cha on a bowling ball
I would rather sit and watch the paint dry on my wall, cause...
That’s not funny, that’s not funny, that’s not funny, you clowns don’t make me laugh!
Surely we will make you laugh, make you laugh, make you laugh
Surely we will make you laugh, just give us a shot!
Is he laughing yet?
No, not yet...
I can be a wind-up toy and walk around and wiggle
I’ve seen it a hundred times, it does not make me giggle
He can be a school bus with his honking horn
That’s not entertainment, it’s cornier than corn
We can pick you up and run you to and fro
That is just annoying, now please just let me go, cause...
That’s not funny, that’s not funny, that’s not funny, you clowns don’t make me laugh!
Surely we will make you laugh, make you laugh, make you laugh
Surely we will make you laugh, just give us a shot!

We’ll Get You What You Want
Posted on | Thursday, October 21, 2010 | No Comments
From "The Legend of the Volcano Sisters"
VOLCANO SISTERS CHORUS (Tasha and Uniqua in unison)
We know what we want
We know what we don’t want
So get us what we want!
We’ll get you what you want!
Do you want a new lei or a rare seashell?
We know what we want and we will not tell!
Some tasty fruits or delicious mints?
We know what we want and you’ll get no hints!
Is it soft as a pillow?
Is it hard as rocks?
Is smaller than a snail?
Or bigger than a bread box?
Do you put in on the wall?
Does it fit on a shelf?
You’ll have to find that out for yourself!
(Repeat VOLCANO SISTERS CHORUS)
We’ll get you what you want!
Do you put it on your head? Can you hold it in your hand?
What part of “we won’t tell you” do you not understand?!
Is it made out of metal?
Cardboard or wood?
Would you call it great?
Or just pretty good?
Would you tell us, oh Volcano Sisters?
No, we won’t! Now go get it for us, misters!
(Repeat VOLCANO SISTERS CHORUS)
We’ll get you what you want!

We’re Glad to be Out Here With You
From "The Legend of the Volcano Sisters"
We spend our days surrounded by hot and steamy lava
How nice it is...to be outside...with coconuts and guava!
The air is fresh, the sand is soft, there’s a cool breeze in the sky
And the very best thing of all is that we met you guys
We can do a hula dance, or even take a walk
It sure beats yelling..."We are mad!"...on a hunk of molten rock
We’re glad, so glad, we’re glad to be out here with you right now
Not mad, but glad, and we’re glad we didn’t ruin your luau!
I climbed the highest mountain for the heavy tiki mask
But you just wished...to have a party...and we just had to ask
I swam the deepest ocean for a pearl that was so shiny
But all you really wanted was a gesture oh so tiny
You only wanted friendship, yes, I knew that from the start
And that is why...they call me...Austin the smart!
We’re glad, so glad, we’re glad to be out here with you right now
Not mad, but glad, and we’re glad you didn’t ruin our luau!
We’re glad to be out here with you right now!
And we’re glad we didn’t ruin your luau!
We’re glad to be out here with you right now
We’re glad to be out here with you right now
And we’re glad you didn’t ruin our luau!
And we’re glad we didn’t ruin your luau!
We’re glad to be out here with you right now
We’re glad to be out here with you right now
And we’re glad we didn’t ruin your luau!
And we’re glad you didn’t ruin our luau!

The Festival of Soap
Posted on | Wednesday, October 20, 2010 | No Comments
From "Robin Hood the Clean"
So-oh-ah-oap, so-oh-ah-oap! The Festival of Soap! Hail to the Festival of Soap!
Everyone in town, please gather and work up a nice, fruity lather
You can play with bath toys, splash around and make noise or sit and relax if you'd rather
We are so remarkably lucky to never again be so yucky
I feel just like a fish as I splash and I splish alone with my sweet rubber ducky!
So-oh-ah-oap, so-oh-ah-oap! The Festival of Soap! Hail to the Festival of Soap!
I think this is our finest hour
After this, I'll take a shower, thanks to Sir Robin Hood
Who smells so very good
Just like the petals of a flower!
We have brought freedom to the city, everything looks cleaned up and pretty
And just as I planned, look what's on my hand, it's my long lost friend, dear Mitty!
So-oh-ah-oap, so-oh-ah-oap! The Festival of Soap! We're finally clean and full of hope!
So-oh-ah-oap, so-oh-ah-oap! The Festival of Soap! Hail to the Festival of Soap! Hail to the Festival of Soap!
