Land of the Silver Birch
Lemon Drops
Linger
The Little Brown Mouse
Little Cabin in the Woods
Little Herbie
Little Red Caboose
Lorentia
Love Grows Under the Tall Oak Tree
Love You

Land of the Silver Birch
Land of the silver birch
Home of the beaver
Where still the mighty moose
Wanders at will

**Blue lake and rocky shore
I will return once more
Boom did-y-ah-dah
Boom did-y-ah-dah
Boom did-y-ah-dah, boom

My heart is sick for thee
Here in the lowlands
I will return to thee
Hills of the north **.

Swift as a silver fish
Canoe of birch bark
By mighty waterways
Carry me forth **.

High on a rocky ledge
I'll build my wigwam
Close to the water's edge
Silent and still **.

Lemon Drops
If all of the raindrops
Were lemondrops and gumdrops
Oh what a rain it would be
I'd stand outside with my mouth opened wide
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
If all of the raindrops were lemondrops and gumdrops
Oh what a world it would be

If all of the rainbows were cheddar cheese and tacos
Oh, what a world this would be!
I'd stand outside with my mouth open wide, goin'
Ah, ah ah ah, ah ah ah, ah ah ah,
If all of the rainbows were cheddar cheese and tacos,
Oh, what a world this would be!

If all the mosquitoes were nacho Dorritos,
Oh, what a world this would be!
I'd stand outside with my mouth open wide, goin'
Ah, ah ah ah, ah ah ah, ah ah ah,
If all the mosquitoes were nacho Dorritos,
Oh, what a world this would be!
If all of the moonbeams, were popsicles and ice cream
Oh, what a world this would be!
I'd stand outside with my mouth open wide, goin'
Ah, ah ah ah, ah ah ah, ah ah ah,
If all of the moonbeams, were popsicles and ice cream
Oh, what a world this would be!

If all of the snowflakes were lemon tarts and cupcakes
Oh, what a world this would be!
I'd stand outside with my mouth open wide, goin'
Ah, ah ah ah, ah ah ah, ah ah ah,
If all of the snowflakes were lemon tarts and cupcakes
Oh, what a world this would be!

If all of the pinecones were chocolate covered ice cream cones
Oh, what a world this would be!
I'd stand outside with my mouth open wide, goin'
Ah, ah ah ah, ah ah ah, ah ah ah,
If all of the pinecones were chocolate covered ice cream cones
Oh, what a world this would be!

If all of the snowflakes were Hershey bars and milkshakes
Oh what a snow it would be!
I'd stand outside with my mouth open wide, goin'
Ah, ah ah ah, ah ah ah, ah ah ah,
If all of the snowflakes were Hershey bars and milkshakes
Oh what a snow it would be!

If all the hail balls
Were jellybeans and gumballs
Oh what a hail it would be
I'd stand outside with my mouth open wide
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
If all the hail balls were jellybeans and gumballs
Oh what a world this would be

If all of the sleets were vegetables and meats
Oh what a sleet it would be
I'd stand outside with my mouth shut tight
Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh
If all the sleets were vegetables and meats
Oh what a world it would be.

Linger
Mmmm I want to linger
Mmmm a little longer
Mmmm a little longer here with you

Mmmm it's such a perfect night
Mmmm it doesn't seem quite right
Mmmm that it should be my last with you

Mmmm and come next September
Mmmm I will remember
Mmmm our camping days and friendships true

Mmmm and as the years go by
Mmmm I'll think of you inside
Mmmm this is good night and not good bye

Mmmm I want to linger
Mmmm a little longer
Mmmm a little longer here with you
Mmmm

The Little Brown Mouse (from Emma)
Oh the liquor was spilled on the barroom floor,
When the bar was closed for the night.
'n the little brown mouse came out of his hole
'n sat in the pale moonlight.
He licked up the liquor from the barroom floor,
And all night long, you could hear him roar:
"Bring out the pussey cat!"
SOOO, the big black cat came out to the hole
And gobbled up the little brown mouse
But the moral of the story iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis,
Never take a drink on the house! (HICCUP!)

Little Cabin in the Woods
Little cabin in the woods
Little man by the window stood
Saw a rabbit hopping by
Knocking at my door

"HELP ME! HELP ME! HELP ME!" he cried
"Or the hunter will shoot me dead"
"Come little rabbit, come inside
Safely we will bide"

Little Herbie
In a pad in the forest green
Ba doo doo doo
Little Herbie was surveying the scene
Ba doo doo doo
Saw a rabbit there hopping by
Rapping at his pad.
Ba doo doo doo
"Like, help! Like, help!" came the plea
Ba doo doo doo
"Agriculture man exterminate me"
Ba doo doo doo
Little Herbie said, "Come on in
Come in and hang out"
Ba doo doo doo
(sing excluding each section as the song goes on)

Little Red Caboose
Little red caboose, chug chug chug
Little red caboose, chug chug chug
Little red caboose behind the train, train, train, train
Smokestack on his back, back, back, back
Coming down the track, track, track, track
Little red caboose behind the train
Whoo-Whoo!
(really soft, then really loud!)

Lorentia
Lorentia dear, Lorentia dear,
When are you coming to visit me?
On Sunday, On Sunday,
Oh how I wish it were Sunday
Then Lorentia would visit me
Lorentia, Lorentia
(repeat using Monday through Saturday)
(bob knees on days and Lorentia's name)

Love Grows Under the Tall Oak Tree
Love grows under the tall oak tree
Sugar flows like candy
Top of the Mountain shines like gold
And you keep a little fella sorta handy
Sweet dreams, sweet dreams
Under the tall oak tree
Sweet dreams, sweet dreams
One for you and me.

Love You
Give a little time to the child within you
Don't be afraid to be young and free,
Undo the locks and throw away the key and
Take off your shoes and socks and
Run You

Run through the meadow,
Scare up the milking cows,
Run down the beach kicking clouds of sand.
Walk a windy weather day,
Feel your face blow away,
Stop and listen,
Love you.

Roll like a circus clown,
Put away your circus frown,
Ride a roller coaster upside down.
Waltzing Matilda,
Kerry loves a kankerchoo,
Joey catch a kangaroo,
Hug you.

Dandelions, milkweeds, silky on a summer sky,
Reach out and hitch a ride,
Roll on by.
Balloons down below,
Blooming colors of the rainbow,
Red, blue yellow green,
I love you

Bicycles, tricycles, ice cream, candy
Lollipops and popsicles and licorice sticks
Solomon Grandy,
Raggedy Andy,
Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee,
Home Free.

Cowboys and Indians
Puppy dogs and sandpails,
Beach balls and base balls and basketballs too.
Now I love forget-me-nots, fluffer nutter, sugar pops,
I hug you and kiss you and,
Love you
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do
Love you.
