Peter Rabbit [Erick Traplin]
Well I Jumped Out Of Bed At The Crack Of Dawn
Ran Downstairs With My Pj’s On
Looked High And Low For Some Easter Treats
I Couldn’t Find A Single Thing To Eat
Oh , Peter Rabbit, Peter Rabbit, Peter Rabbit,
Where Did You Hide Those Eggs

I Looked On The Tv And In The Potted Plant
Was Nothin’ There But A Little Chocolate Ant Popped In My Mouth For A Tasty Treat
Then I Felt It Wriggle ‘Round My Gums And Through My Teeth
Oh , Peter Rabbit, Peter Rabbit, Peter Rabbit,
Where Did You Hide Those Eggs

Looked On The Shelf And In The Magazine Rack
All I Found Was Some Stale Apple Jacks
Looked Behind The Picture Hangin’ On The Wall
And Under The Dog Laying In The Hall

Oh , Peter Rabbit, Peter Rabbit, Peter Rabbit,
Where Did You Hide Those Eggs

Now My Brother Found Four Chocolate Easter Bunnies
Ten Cream Eggs And A Jar Full Of Honey
He Laughed At Me It Was Obscene
All I Could Find Was A Red Jelly Bean
Oh , Peter Rabbit, Peter Rabbit, Peter Rabbit,
Where Did You Hide Those Eggs
Peter Rabbit( ) Peter Rabbit ( ) Peter Rabbit ( Hey Pete Get Back Here), Peter Rabbit ( You Can Tell Me Where You Hid Them)

Peter Rabbit ( I’ll Give You My Lucky Rabbit’s Foot) Oh! Oh! I Shouldn’t Have Said That) Peter Rabbit Where Did You Hide Those Eggs

Love, Love, Love Is So Nice To Have Around
Love, Love, Love Is A Friend When You Feel Down

Love, Love, Love There’s Enough For Me And You

So Keep Your Heart Open And Be Soft Spoken And Give Your Love Away
And It’ll Come Back Some Day

Keep On A Smiling And Be Forgiving
And Give Your Love Away
And It’ll Come Back Some Day

Bee-I-Ee-I-Ee [Public Domain]
There Was A Bee-I Ee-I-Ee, Sat On A Wall-I-All-I-All
He Had A Sting-I-Ing-I-Ing, And That’s Not All-I-All-I-All

There Was A Boy-I-Oy-I-Oy, Who Had A Stick-I-Ick-I-Ick
He Hit That Bee-I Ee-I-Ee, An Awful Lick-I-Ick-I-Ick

And Then That Bee-I Ee-I-Ee, Began To Sting-I-Ing-I-Ing
He Stung That Boy-I-Oy-I-Oy, Like Everything-I-Ing-I-Ing

And Then That Boy-I-Oy-I-Oy, Began To Yell-I-Yell-I-Yell
He Told That Bee-I-Ee-I-Ee,

To Go Away Down Yonder In The Corn Field

Weather, Whether Or Not [Traplin/Wiebe]
I’m A Ragged Old Scare Crow ,With No Place To Go
I Stay Here In This Field , Protecting What You Sow
There’s One Thing That I’ve Found As I Stand Here Year Around

Whether It’s Cold Or Whether It’s Hot We All Have Weather Whether Or Not
When It’s Rainin’ I Start Complainin’ When It’s Sunny , I’m Wild And Funny
When The Snowfalls , I’m Makin’ Snowballs
When The Wind Blows , I Hang Onto My Hat - Just Like That
Though I’m Just An Old Scarecrow I’m Gonna Tell You What I Know
Whether It’s Cold Or Whether It’s Hot We All Have Weather Whether Or Not

I’m Dressed In Rags And Bows, I Have A Button Nose
My Brain Is Made Of Straw, But I’m Smart Enough To Know
Some Days Are Cold And Wet
Sometimes I Just Melt
Whether It’s Cold Or Whether It’s Hot We All Have Weather, Whether Or Not

I’m A Scare Crow, Watch The Wind Blow
I’m A Scare Crow , Watch The Crows Go
When Jack Frost Calls And The Leaves Fall
Then The Wind Blows , I Hang Onto My Hat, Just Like That
And Through The Years I’ve Found Something Quite Profound
Whether It’s Cold Or Whether It’s Hot We All Have Weather Whether Or Not

When It’s Rainin’ I Start Complainin’ When It’s Sunny , I’m Wild And Funny
When The Snowfalls , I’m Makin’ Snowballs
When The Wind Blows , I Hang Onto My Hat - Just Like That
Though I’m Just An Old Scarecrow I’m Gonna Tell You What I Know
Whether It’s Cold Or Whether It’s Hot We All Have Weather Whether Or Not

You Are My Sunshine [Davis/Mitchell] [New Words-Traplin]
You Are My Sunshine , My Only Sunshine
You Make Me Happy When Skies Are Grey
You’ll Never Know Dear, How Much I Love You
Please Don’t Take My Sunshine Away

The Other Night Dear As You Lay Sleeping
I Came And Kissed You On Your Cheek
I Saw You Smile And Then Roll Over
But You Didn’t Hear Me Speak

I’ll Always Love You And Do My Bestest
To Keep And Guide You On Your Way
And Should You Ever Feel Unhappy
Then I’ll Be There To Say

Someday You’ll Leave Me To Love Another
And Then My Wish For You Will Be
That They Will Bring You All The Sunshine That You Have Brought To Me

My First Date [Erick Traplin]
It’s Saturday I Have A Date My First Date Don’t Want To Be Late
But I’m Scared And Just A Little Nervous In My Stomach It Feels Like There’s A Circus

Now You Know I Want To Look My Best
I Want To Stand Out From All The Rest
Oh, I Hope She’s Gonna Like Me Just Fine
But When I Look Into The Mirror I Want To Run And Hide

I Got Baboon Lips Down To My Hips
My Nose Sticks Out Like A Speckled Trout
Yesterday I Looked Okay
Tonight I Look Like A Big Old Turkey

Got Elephant Ears Flappin’ In The Breeze
They Wiggle When I Walk And Jiggle When I Sneeze
Oh, Man Is This My Fate Why Do I Look So Ugly On My First Date

Shine My Shoes And Comb My Hair
Oh Man I’ve Got Nothin’ To Wear
Check My Look Out In The Mirror
And There I’m Seeing My Worst Fear

Mirror, Mirror On The Wall Why Do I Look So Awful
My Mom Says It’s All In My Head
But My Mirror’s Tellin’ Me Something Else Instead

I Got Baboon Lips Down To My Hips
My Nose Sticks Out Like A Speckled Trout
Yesterday I Looked Okay
Tonight I Look Like A Big Old Turkey

Got Elephant Ears Flappin’ In The Breeze
They Wiggle When I Walk And Jiggle When I Sneeze
Oh, Man Is This My Fate

Dig A Duck, Dig A Gooey Duck, Dig A Duck A Day
Dig A Duck, Dig A Duck, Dig A Gooey Duck

The Mouse Inside The Wall [Erick Traplin ]
One Early Christmas Eve, Before Santa Came,
A Mouse Snuck Out Of His Little Hole And Licked A Candy Cane.
Before He Could Escape, He Heard The Sound Of Little Hooves,
It Was Santa's Little Reindeer, Prancing On The Roof.

Down The Chimney Santa Came And Stood Before The Mouse,
And Asked Him If He Was, The Owner Of The House.
The Mouse Was Very Pleased And Held Himself Up Tall,
Said, "I Am The Little Mouse, Who Lives Inside The Wall."

And I Scurry "Round By Night, Looking For A Bite,
A Little Scrap Of Food, To Take Home To My Wife,
Who Lives With Me Inside The Wall, With My Children All
Oh, I Am The Little Mouse, Who Lives Inside The Wall.

Well, Santa Laughed So Hard, A Tear Fell From His Eye,
To See A Mouse So Proud, And Not The Least Bit Shy.
He Said I Can't Recall, Meeting One So Brave And Small,
As The Little Mouse, Who Lives Inside The Wall.

Santa Wiped A Joyful Tear From His Twinkling Eye,
Then Santa Asked The Mouse, With What He Could Supply.
A Fire Truck, A Tricycle, Or A Big Red Ball,
Anything At All For The Mouse Inside The Wall.

Oh, It Would Be So Nice, If I Could Have A Slice,
A Little Piece Of Pie, To Take Home To My Wife.
Who Lives With Me Inside The Wall, With My Children All.
Said The Little Mouse, Who Lives Inside The Wall.

Santa Reached Inside His Pack, Brought Out A Pie So Small,
That It Would Even Fit, Within The Mouse's Tiny Paw.
And Every Time You Took A Bite, It Came Back To It's All,
And Gave It To The Little Mouse, Who Lives Inside The Wall.

Then Santa Quickly Filled The Stockings Hanging In A Row,
And With A Merry Christmas, Up The Chimney He Did Go.
The Mouse Then Sang A Song, As He Ran Off Down The Hall.
Sang, I Am The Little Mouse, Who Lives Inside The Wall


And I Scurry 'Round By Night, Looking For A Bite,
A Little Scrap Of Food, To Take Home To My Wife,
Who Lives With Me Inside The Wall, With My Children All.
Oh, I Am The Little Mouse, Who Lives Inside The Wall.

Oh, I Am The Little Mouse, Who Lives Inside The Wall
