BUBBLE GUM

CHORUS:

Bubble gum, bubble gum

Lots of fun with my bubble gum.

Bubble gum, bubble gum

Chewing bubble gum.

1. I don't like frog legs 'cause they smell like feet

You can take away the liver. Give me something sweet.

I don't like onions 'cause they make me cry.

I've got something that will make you smile. CHORUS:

2. When my mouth feels like it wants to chew,

There is only one thing that I can do.

I reach into my pocket just in time.

What do you think that I will find? CHORUS:

IF I HAD ONE WISH

1. If I had one wish, I would fly like a bird,

spread my wings out wide. I'd fly so high and never get hurt,

if I had one wish, one wish,

if I had one wish.

2. If I had one wish, I would swim like a fish,

wiggle, wiggle all the time.

I'd swim all around this great big world,

if I had one wish, one wish,

if I had one wish.

3. If I had one wish, I would growl like a bear

and mess the house all up.

I'd bounce all around and wiggle my ears,

if I had one wish, one wish.

if I had one wish.

4. If I had one wish, I would dance with the monkeys,

swing from tree to tree.

I'd swing high and low and never go home,

if I had one wish, one wish.

if I had one wish.

5. If I had one wish I would do everything.

I'd sing this song all day.

Id fly like a bird,.

I'd swim like a fish,

I'd growl like a bear,

I'd dance with the monkeys,

if I had one wish, one wish,

if I had one wish.

or a pair of roller skates on kittens?

Or have you ever seen a chocolate cake fly

or bats with purple eyes?

Have you ever seen a fish wear sneakers

or a flea eat a bag of peaches?

Or have you ever seen a duck play a guitar

or an elephant driving a car?

CHORUS:

Nonsense and silly talk

will cheer you up when you feel blue.

But when somebody needs your help,

silly talk won't do. Uh-uh!

Silly talk won't do.

2. Have you ever seen a sailboat walking

or a lobster wear a pair of stockings?

Or do you wash your milk so you can keep it clean?

Do you brush your teeth with gasoline? No way!

or a sea gull try to kiss molasses?

Or have you ever seen a yo yo eat a hat

or a Christmas tree chasing a cat. CHORUS:

I SURE HAVE GOT A LOOSE TOOTH

1. I sure have got a loose tooth.

It still won't come out, that's the truth.

I twist it to the left. I twist it to the right.

I wiggle it day and night.

And my tooth is losing its bite.

2. I asked my friend and he said:

"Go tie you loose tooth to the bed."

And so I tied my tooth and from the bed I flew.

I headed straight for the door.

The string broke - I fell on the floor.

3. One loose tooth that won't come out.

Stubborn it is without doubt.

I bend it down in front. I bend it down in back.

I finally twist it around.

My tooth pops out making this sound. (Make tooth popping sound.)

Yesterday I gave away my brother.

I didn't tell my father or my mother.

It felt so good to give away my brother.

And I never want to get him back.

1. My brother's nice to everyone else.

But he's never nice to me.

He puts worms on my head and frogs in my bed.

He's painted my glasses, now I can't see. CHORUS:

2. My brother treats me like his punching bag

whenever he gets mad.

He always thinks he knows it all.

Now he's the best enemy I've ever had. CHORUS:

3. My brother borrows all my favorite toys

and never wants to give them back.

But when I ask to use something of his,

he always says "Get lost!" CHORUS:

4. My brother's gone now and I'm not sure

that this is how it ought to be.

It's quiet and dull around the house.

Now I kind of miss my brother bothering me.

Last CHORUS:

Yesterday I gave away my brother.

I didn't tell my father or my mother.

It felt so good to give away my brother

but I think I want to get him back.

Yes, I know I want to get him back. RIGHT NOW!
