Life is full of choices, choices big and small
In everything you do, there’s a lesson to recall.
As we start, think "safety smart"!
Why do parents make rules
We know one good reason for this
Safety's so important
For each of us to practice
Safety should never have a day off!
Keep your bright eyes open
And be on high alert
Be aware, be watchful
We mean every boy and girl
Remember, always play it safe!
Through the year, every day,
Try to keep your hearing sharp
Keeping safe from harm's way
Taking care as you embark
Safety is free - use it generously!
No one knows everything
But we'll help to guide you
We've been there, done that
And we've learned just what to do
Life is full of lessons, lessons big and small
Lessons to teach us right from wrong,
Lessons to help us grow to be strong!

The beds are done, the lunches made
Tuna sandwiches are really great!
Washed the dishes, mopped the floor
When I get back, I'll do my chores!
Washer is going, piled high is the laundry,
How you manage is always a quandary
The grocery list, the bank and the cleaners,
I'll make dinner: sauerkraut, beans and wieners!
Now that I’m set, better get to work
Gotta be on time, I’m the managing clerk
Been up since dawn, where has the time gone?
I need gas in the car, at least the station’s not far!
Phew! That was hard, what a day it's been
With the sale going on, what a hectic scene
I'll fold the towels, you match the socks
I've been thinking about our morning talks
Pick up the messages, open the mail,
Oh look! Here’s a flyer, it’s a one-day sale!
I gotta go now, but I'll be back soon,
And we'll eat dinner under a romantic moon!
Who said Women’s Lib was a gift and a treasure,
Another pair of hands, now that would be a pleasure!
No time to think, just time to do,
No doubt, we need a holiday too!

I'm a Big Girl Now
03:00
|
|||
|
Why do grown-ups have to yell and scold?
Why do I have to do all that I'm told?
I’m a big girl now, and I hate all the rules
I’m a big girl now, ‘cause I go to school.
I love you Ally, you understand me.
I want to do what I want, when I want
I think life stinks, it's so unfair
I want to eat what I want, mmm, a chocolate éclair.
I'm just a kid, and I love to run and play
Up and down, in and out, all through the day
I don't need anyone to keep an eye on me
They're so mean, why can't they let me be?
Why do grown-ups have to act like that?
Why do I have to be baby-sat?
I’m a big girl now, I can make my own bed
I’m a big girl now, keep my budgie well-fed.
They think I’m a baby that has to be watched
Do I really need my mom and dad so much?
I’m a big girl now, can ride my bike real far,
Swim, and roller blade, and play my guitar.
Why do they think they know everything?
Why can't they see I'm doing some listening?
I'm a big girl now, hear what I have to say
I'm a big girl now, yours is not the only way
Ally, I love you, you understand me
I’ll put on my party clothes and we’ll have some tea
I’m a big girl now

Nothing Can Happen to Me
01:45
|
|||
|
I’m stronger than strong, faster than fast
And nothing can happen to me!
I’m stronger than strong, faster than fast
And nothing can happen to me!
I can swing to the sky, and fly so high
Zoom down the slide, and ride the glide
I dangle and sway on the bars all day
I twirl on the tire, 'til I’m dizzy and say
I’m not afraid of anything
I’m not afraid of anything.
I’m tougher than tough, rougher than rough
And nothing can happen to me!
She’s tougher than tough, rougher than rough
And nothing can happen to her!
I’ll hide in the trees, and spy on the thieves
Throw pepper in the breeze and make them sneeze
Jump to the ground, tie them all around
Hold them for the cops, they’ll be jail bound…
I’m not afraid of anything
I’m not afraid of anything!
I’m smarter than smart, smugger than smug
And nothing can happen to me.
She's smarter than smart, smugger than smug
And nothing can happen to her.
I’m a speedy bike rider, and a mountain climber
I can jump from a plane, and be a sky diver
I can swim like a fish, stay a float like a boat
Sail the seven seas, bring a dragon to its knees
I’m not afraid of anything
I’m not afraid of anything

Being Different
02:14
|
|||
|
What’s wrong with me?
What can it be?
Those things they do and say
To make me feel this way
It's hard to take
It makes my heart break
Being different shouldn’t matter
When they’re mean you're so much sadder
Gotta keep your chin up high
Never, ever, let them see you cry.
Maybe you're tall (Maybe I’m tall)
Maybe they’re small (Maybe they're small)
Why can’t they be a little nicer to you?
I’d like a pal (I'd like a pal)
That sure would be swell
Being different shouldn’t matter
When they’re mean you're so much sadder
Gotta keep your chin up high
Never, ever, let them see you cry.
Talk on the phone (Talk on the phone)
Share ice cream cones (Share ice cream cones)
Let me show you what a good friend can do
Know me and then
Learn who I am, a friend.
Being different shouldn’t matter
When they’re mean you're so much sadder
Gotta keep your chin up high
Never, ever, let them see you cry.
They’re never, ever, gonna see me cry!

Remember (part 1)
00:38
|
|||
|
Remember, Ingenue
When close to the water, know how to swim
You don't want to fall in
Would you just imagine, if no one were to see you?
You'll be sorry, Ingenue!
You could fall in and drown!
Your family and friends in town
Would be sad with a broken heart
Take heed of my remarks
Remember these are good rules for the park.

Dressed to Go to Town
01:58
|
|||
|
I’m dressed to go to town
Put on my evening gown
I’m Queen of the park with my flowered crown
Always on the go, never slowing down
You make so much noise on the playground
No one to yell at me, not to make a sound
Spinning on a tire like a merry-go-round
It is so much fun, just dancing around
And in the sandbox I can make a mound
Call it a castle, with knights in shining armour, all around
I hunt for buried treasure underground
You search, and you search, with your trusty blood hound
I would be happy, riches would abound
If you had a map, it just might be found
Then I’ll be able to play in this playground
You mean you’ll always be around?
I can hang upside down
Feet in the sky, hands to the ground
Look, your knees, they’re all brown
I jump for joy, there’s no one to frown
By the end of the day, you might look like a clown
Tired I’m not, no need to shut down
The sky’s still light, won’t be homeward bound
The journey back, will be at sundown
The journey back, will be at sundown
|

Remember (part 2)
00:40
|
|||
|
Remember, Ingenue!
When close to water, know how to swim
Be so careful on the jungle gym
Be careful when with strangers
Sometimes, there are dangers
If you're scared, just be smart
Remember to listen to your heart
You can run, you can say "no",
Keep your courage, just say so!
It's a good time to start
With this afternoon in the park

Mean Gang Entrance March

We're the Mean Gang
02:15
|
|||
|
We’re the mean gang, we come with a bang,
A slap, a shot, we can hurt a lot.
No need for readin’, no need for writin’
Just take what we want, grabbin’ and fightin’.
We got no sense of right,
We got no sense of wrong
We’ll tell you who we are,
Just listen to our song.
I’m Dagger, I’m cool, you don’t want to fool
With me, got a blade, gonna sway your mind – I’m that kind.
Leader of the pack, chief rat-a-tat-tat.
Nails is my girl, so don’t touch a curl,
You’ll be doin’ time in the underground mine,
If you know what I mean… Keep your nose clean
I’m Nails, I’m a babe, got an ace of spades,
Couldn’t ask for more than Dagger with his blade.
I’m a witch, and that’s wicked with a capital W (wooh).
Don’t get too close, I’ll use my hooks on you!
We’re the mean gang, we come with a bang,
A slap, a shot, we can hurt a lot.
No need for readin’, no need for writin’
Just take what we want, grabbin’ and fightin’.
We got no sense of right,
We got no sense of wrong
We’ll tell you who we are,
Just listen to our song.
I’m Stinger, the swinger and I wear my hair
In a spike, that’s right. It’s cool and dry, it don’t fly.
Can change the colour to whatever my mood.
I’m glad, I’m bad, and I know Kung Fu!
I’m Horse, the force, you all know of course,
That I look so cool, when I let myself rule
As I light my butt and breathe in the fire,
Blow a smoke ring, you can all admire!
We’re the mean gang, we love to use slang,
With a pip and apop we can make you drop.
We takes what we likes, and we likes what we takes,
So be aware of us, make no mistakes.
So be aware of us, make no mistakes!

Look What We Have Here
00:49
|
|||
|
You see, Ingenue
Look what we have, what we have here
Four young people who cannot see clear
Their future looks bad, and that's not so fine
They've chosen a life of hate and crime
Instead of choosing to work their skills
Everyone has strength and goodwill
A worthwhile future could very well be
If they forget their Easy Street fantasy
A little work and effort is what they need
To contribute to society and succeed

Now let me sleep for a year!

Thanks for helping!
I'll try to listen!

I already miss you, Savvy!
Remember, Ingenue
When close to the water, know how to swim
You don't want to fall in!
You've done all you can, share your safety rules
I'll remember these lessons, and keep them as tools.

Friends for Real
01:51
|
|||
|
We’ll be friends for real
So let’s make a deal
To share, to care, to dare to be fair
La la la, la la la la
I’ve got quite a lot of
Whatever we may need
I’ll help you and you’ll help me
Friends together, how extraordinary!
When things are good or bad,
The best of friends we’ll be
You can depend, depend on me
La la la, la la la la
Taking turns is how to learn to understand.
That hand in hand is how we make a friendship grow.
So we’ll know that in our hearts, you’ll always be
A part of me, a part of you
A part of you, a part of me
And we'll say, that’s okay
Going for long walks
Phoning for long talks
Secrets to tell each other well
I trust you, and you trust me
If you’re down in the dumps, ‘I’ll help you over the slumps
You’ll be snug as a bug in a rug
With a hug
La la la, la la la
Whatever it takes
For goodness' sake
To be friends for real, we have a deal
La la la, la la la la
You and me, you and me
You and me, you and me!

Charlie's Song
02:06

|
Who do they see?
When they look at me?
The mirror doesn’t lie
I’m different to the eye
When they’re afraid
It makes my heart break
Being different can be sadder
Life’s too short to make it matter
I tell myself, it's just my style
They're always gonna see me smile!
I do magic.
So many tricks
Make children laugh
With my yellow giraffe
It's fun to see
When they all laugh with me
Being different can be sadder
Life’s too short to make it matter
I tell myself, it's just my style
They're always gonna see me smile!
I’ve been there too
And just like you
Thought it was mean when they laughed and teased
But then I say
Be smart and walk away
Being different can be sadder
Life’s too short to make it matter
I tell myself, it's just my style
They're always gonna see me smile!

It's a Thrill
02:43
|
|||
|
We think it's a thrill, to be wicked,
We think it's a thrill, to lie
Disguise ourselves, as someone else
We'll look you straight in the eyes
You'd never know, this was a show
Cross my heart, hope to die
A two-face being, you'll be seeing
Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde
So off we go, incognito
Pretend we lost our kitten
We'll gain her trust, there'll be no fuss
Pick your cues and fit in
We think it's a thrill, to be wicked,
We think it's a thrill, to lie
Disguise ourselves, as someone else
We'll look you straight in the eyes
Set the stage, hide your rage
Let's find the right trick
Pretend we're lost, we need her help
Must be sly and quick
Hey little girl, would you mind
To help us find our doggie
He's so cute, all black and white
We'll give you lots of candy
We think it's a thrill, to be wicked,
We think it's a thrill, to lie
Disguise ourselves, as someone else
We'll look you straight in the eyes
Play upon the innocent
And catch them by surprise,
It's so much fun to be so mean
And to be so full of lies
We think it's a thrill, to be wicked,
We think it's a thrill, to lie
Disguise ourselves, as someone else
We'll look you straight in the eyes
We think it's a thrill!

Listen to My Heart
02:45
|
|||
|
When something feels wrong,
I’m not silly to be scared
Be calm, be strong,
Keep myself prepared
Listen to my heart
Three steps back
Run like the wind
And yell attack!
Kick and fight
With all my might
My heart beats fast
It’s fright and flight
Run and scream to where people will hear
They will stop and look, and see my fear
Pounding in my chest (B Be brave)
Sets the rhythm for my best (E Electrify yourself)
If they try to grab (S Scream and shout)
Won’t wait to be nabbed. (M Move away from a car)
Know I can win (A Alert an adult)
Scream, kick, and spin (R Run as fast as you can)
Try anything to get away (T Try anything to get away)
Won’t wait to be prey (Won’t wait to be prey)
I have to be street smart
Remember all the rules
What to do if I’m in trouble
Don’t panic stay cool!
I need to find my way,
My way back home
911 would be great
If I only had a phone!
I know I should’ve listened
Moms and Dads know best
I should be in my room
Too late for regrets
Pounding in my chest (B Be brave)
Sets the rhythm for my best (E Electrify yourself)
If they try to grab (S Scream and shout)
Won’t wait to be nabbed. (M Move away from a car)
Know I can win (A Alert an adult)
Scream, kick, and spin (R Run as fast as you can)
Try anything to get away (T Try anything to get away)
Won’t wait to be prey (Won’t wait to be prey)
Pounding in my chest (B Be brave)
Sets the rhythm for my best (E Electrify yourself)
If they try to grab (S Scream and shout)
Won’t wait to be nabbed. (M Move away from a car)
Know I can win (A Alert an adult)
Scream, kick, and spin (R Run as fast as you can)
Try anything to get away (T Try anything to get away)
Won’t wait to be prey (Won’t wait to be prey)

Life is Full of Choices
01:53
|
|||
|
Life is full of choices, choices big and small
In everything you do, there’s a lesson to recall.
Dad: Do your best to make the right choice to do the right thing!
Ask yourself this question
What did I learn from my mistake?
Look at choices in your selection
Look at chances you might take
Ingenue: If you make a mistake, you could have a chance to make it right!
Experience makes us wiser, we all learn from our past
Parents can teach and be advisors, ask us first not last.
Ingenue: Oh, so think before you act!
If you choose the wrong direction
And end up out of sync,
The answers are inside you
We have taught you how to think.
Dad: No one is perfect, trust your instincts!
Though the year, every day, careful steps you must complete
Keeping safe from harm's way, aware of obstacles to defeat.
Dad: Be aware of your surroundings and the company you keep!
With fate, please don’t tinker
Play by the rules, use common sense
Be an independent thinker
Grow to find your own conscience.
Life is full of lessons, lessons big and small
Lessons to teach us right from wrong,
Lessons to help us grow to be strong!
