2. Crawdad Song
- traditional

Chorus:

You get a line and I’ll get a pole, honey
You get a line and I’ll get a pole, babe
Y
ou get a line  and I’ll get a pole
We’ll go down to the crawdad hole
Honey, sugar baby mine

What you gonna do when the well runs dry, honey?
What you gonna do when the well runs dry, babe?
What you gonna do when the well runs dry?
Sit on the bank and watch the crawdads die
Honey, sugar baby mine

You get a line and I’ll get a pole, honey…

 What you gonna do when  the crawdads die, honey?
What you gonna do when the crawdads die, babe?
What you gonna do when  the crawdads die?
Sit on the bank and cry cry cry,
Honey, sugar baby mine

You get a line and I’ll get a pole, honey…


3. Stay up All Night - copyright Harry Warren/Mort Dixon - new lyrics, copyright Libby Shapiro aka Wanda Von Swing


You tucked me in and said “Goodnight!”
But I’m going to stay up all night
Sitting in my beddie
Talking with my teddy
And having a whoop-de-do

There is nothing you could do or say

That’s going to make me hit the hay, I’m

Sitting in my beddie

Talking with my teddy and

Having a whoop-de-do

 

Bedtime drama I’m telling you Mama

I’m not going to sleep

Don’t try singing me lullabyes

Or counting to a million sheep, ‘cause

 

There is nothing you could do or say

That’s going to make me hit the hay

I’m sitting in my beddie

Talking with my teddy and

Having a whoop-de-do

 
4. On Top of Spaghetti - traditional, lyrics copyright Tom Glaser)

On top of spaghetti, all covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball  when somebody sneezed
it rolled off the table and on to the floor
and then my poor meatball rolled out of the door
it rolled down the driveway and under a bush
and then my poor meatball was nothing but mush

the mush was as tasty as tasty could be
and early next summer, it turned to a tree
the tree was all covered with beautiful moss
it grew great big meatballs with tomato sauce
so if you eat spaghetti, all covered with cheese
hold on to your meatball, and don't ever sneeze

(at the end of the Von Swing version - hachoo!)

5. The Riddle Song - traditional

I gave my love a cherry, that has no stone
I gave my love a chicken that has no bone
I gave my love a story that has no end
and I gave my love a baby with no crying

How can there be a cherry that has no stone?
How can there be a chicken that has no bone?
How can there be a story that has no end
and how can there be a baby with no crying?

A cherry when it's blooming, it has no stone
a chicken when it's pipping, it has no bone
the story that I love you will have no end
and a baby when it's sleeping has no crying....


6. There's a Hole in the Bottom of the Sea - traditional childrens' song

There's a hole in the bottom of the sea,
There's a hole in the bottom of the sea,
There's a hole, there's a hole,
There's a hole in the bottom of the sea.

There's a log in the hole
In the bottom of the sea,
There's a log in the hole
In the bottom of the sea,
There's a hole, there's a hole, 
There's a hole in the bottom of the sea.

There's a bump on the log in the hole
in the bottom of the sea,
There's a bump on the log in the hole
in the bottom of the sea,
There's a hole, there's a hole, 
There's a hole in the bottom of the sea.

There's a frog on the bump on the log in the hole in the bottom of the sea,
There's a frog on the bump on the log in the hole in the bottom of the sea,
There's a hole, there's a hole,
There's a hole in the bottom of the sea.

There's a wart on the frog on the bump on the log in the hole in the bottom of the sea,
There's a wart on the frog on the bump on the log in the hole in the bottom of the sea,
There's a hole, there's a hole,
There's a hole in the bottom of the sea.

There's a hair on the wart on the frog on the bump on the log in the hole in the bottom of the sea,
a hair on the wart on the frog on the bump on the log in the hole in the bottom of the sea,
There's a hole, there's a hole,
There's a hole in the in the bottom of the sea.

There's a fly on the hair on the wart on the frog on the bump on the log in the hole in the bottom of the sea, 
A fly on the hair on the wart on the frog on the bump on the log in the hole in the bottom of the sea,
There's a hole, there's a hole,
There's a hole in the in the bottom of the sea.

There's a wing on the fly on the hair on the wart on the frog on the bump on the log in the hole in the bottom of the sea, 
A wing on the fly on the hair on the wart on the frog on the bump on the log in the hole in the bottom of the sea,
There's a hole, there's a hole,
There's a hole in the in the bottom of the sea.

There's a flea on the a wing on the fly on the hair on the wart on the frog on the bump on the log in the hole in the bottom of the sea, 
A flea on the a wing on the fly on the hair on the wart on the frog on the bump on the log in the hole in the bottom of the sea, 
There's a hole, there's a hole,
There's a hole in the in the bottom of the sea.
