The Fruit Swing

 

Bright yellow lemons
Bright green limes
Hanging from the trees
Fruit on the vines

It's a beautiful thing
Watching the fruit swing
Swing in the breeze
With the greatest of ease

Yellow bananas
Orange tangerines
The most beautiful colors
That I've ever seen

It's a wonderful thing
Watching the fruit swing
Swing in the breeze
Temptin the bees

You can make lemonade
Or a key lime pie
A banana split
Or orange juice is fine

It's a beautiful thing
When the fruits in full swing

Lion Supper

 

I'm on the run
I'm on the run
I'm chasing a lion, hunting him down
I'm on the run

I'm on the run
I'm on the run
Knife by my side and a big old gun
I'm on the run

Lion hunting's frightening
If you don't know what you're doing
I don't know what I'm doing

I'm on the run
I'm on the run
There's a big old lion hunting me down
I'm on the run

I'm on the run
I'm on the run
I'm hiding in the bushes and behind the trees
I'm on the run

Crab Island

 

I'm an old old man now in my rocking chair
There ain't much left to do, I just sit and stare
I'm old

Gather around
Let me tell you a tale
Of an island I found
Once when I was assail

Well a little sand crab met me out on the beach
He told me 'This is the one, this is the island you seek'
'This one'

So I bid him farewell and went on my way
And on that island I stayed for over 3,000 days
Those days...

I slept in a hammock set up high off the ground
I was all on my own just tossing thoughts around

Then I got an idea to build statues of sand
Building them up with my own two hands Just hands

After 3,000 days, there was a city of sand
But it wasn't something that was made for man
Just crabs…

Adam of Capricorn

 

Just a little north of Johannesburg
On the Indian Ocean coast
There lives a wise old man
Who they say knows the most

He knows population solutions
He knows how the plants grow
He predicts deforestation conclusions
He knows where the animals will go

Adam of Capricorn
Tropical knowledge lord

When you come around to visit him
You'll find him sitting on a rock by the sea
Studying and calculating
the way things should be

He Knows about reptilian biology
And the history of the land
He knows about the ocean's ecology
And the molecular structure of sand

Adam of Capricorn
Tropical knowledge lord

In The Jungle

 

There's a colorful parrot talking down to me
Speaking my language from high up in a tree
There a lioness lion in the shade on the ground
She's not like the parrot, she doesn't make a sound

In the jungle
In the jungle
There's variety
It's it's own diverse society

There's a man on a hunt carrying a spear
And when he gets sad, he sheds a tear
There's a snake up in a tree about the height of a ladder
He never gets sad, cause nothing's ever the matter

In the jungle
In the jungle
There's variety
It's it's own diverse society

There's a pirate on the coast sailing into shore
If he doesn't find a treasure then he's journey's a bore
There's a monkey on the beach carrying a diamond ring
He says "It's just a part of matter. It doesn't mean a thing."

In the jungle
In the jungle
There's variety
It's it's own diverse society

Henry The Elephant

 

Big-Slow-Henry
Henry the Elephant
Lumbers along
Tooting a song

Big-Old-Henry
Henry the Elephant
Sleeps all day
Snoring away

Henry knows a whole lot
And he looks just like a teapot
Henry's been around the whole block
And he'll be sure to brag alot

Big-Bold-Henry
Henry the Elephant
Boss of the land
Head of the band

Big-Dumb-Henry
Henry the elephant
Fell asleep in the lake
Got bit by a snake

Henry knows a whole lot
And he looks just like a teapot
Henry's been around the whole block
And he'll be sure to brag alot

Fish All Around

 

I'm going down underwater
I'm going down for a dive
Down in the colorful coral
Where everything is alive

I'm going swimming with guppies
I'm gonna earn their trust
Down in the colorful coral
Their friendship is a must

Fish all around
Not making a sound
Fish in motion
Down in the ocean

I'm going deeper and deeper
Down to a cave in the sea
Away from the colorful coral
To find what is waiting for me

There's an old shipwreck in the entrance
And onboard a piano
A fish is following me
the one they call danio

Fish all around
Not making a sound
Fish in motion
Down in the ocean
