So far we made it to M, but remember my friend…

Continental Jump
Jump, jump, jump!
The continental jump, jump, jump
The continental jump, jump, jump
Jump around and don’t be slow
Jump, jump, jump!
The continental jump, jump, jump
The continental jump, jump, jump
Here we go…
To Africa the lions and giraffes
Let’s ride the Nile river on a raft
Jump to Australia like a kangaroo
Home to Sydney, koala and emu
Check out Europe’s history and museums
Scotland, France and England got to see ‘em
Asia is the largest of them all
The most people and China’s Great Wall
Let’s dance to South America and see Peru
Argentina, Brazil and Columbia too!
Up to North America we can play
With friends in Canada and the USA
So that Antarctica will not be forgotten
Before we finish we’ll go down to the bottom
Home to penguins, fish and arctic seals
Where day and night last a half a year


It’s a Small World After All
It’s a small, small world
It’s a small, small world
It’s not about girth or the mass of the earth
It’s a small world after all
Around the world we laugh
Around the world we laugh
And learned to smile no matter how far the miles
It’s a small world after all
Everywhere you see us dance
Everywhere you see us dance
Without a TV show to teach which heal or toe
It’s a small world after all
Together we all sing
Together we all sing
In every language comprised our voices harmonize
It’s a small world after all
It’s a small, small world
It’s a small, small world
Connected from birth we’re all part of this earth
It’s a small world after all




One World, Many Stories
One world, one world
One world, one world
Many stories you will find
One boy, one boy
One Girl, one girl
Dreaming under starry skies
One child is flying to the moon
Another hears an owl, a loon
In a dreamland fantasy
Inspired by the books they read
A fable from the land of Greece
A poem from the land of peace
A novel written long ago
A tale of truth we all should know

Some day, some day
Far away, far away
Your story lets a dream set sail
One day, one day
You may, you may
Write your own fantastic tale

Say Hello Around the World
Round and round, don’t you know?
Round and round, you can say hello
Round and round, echo what I say
To greet your neighbors the right way
In French you say bonjour (bohn-zhoor)
Bonjour (bohn-zhoor), bonjour (bohn-zhoor)
In Hebrew you say shalom, (sha-lome)
Salom, (sha-lome), shalom, (sha-lome)
In Chinese you say ni hao, (nee how)
Ni hao, (nee how), ni hao, (nee how)
And in Russian you say privet, (preev-YET)
Privet, (preev-YET), privet, (preev-YET)
In Greek you say yia sou (yah-soo)
Yia sou (yah-soo), yia sou (yah-soo)
In Italian you say ciào (chow)
Ciào (chow), ciào (chow)

Where in the World Am I?
Where in the world am I?
Where in the world am I?
I’ll tell you what I see
So you can help me
Where in the world am I?
I can see palm trees and coconuts
Beautiful beaches and surfing buffs
A series of islands that create
The land of volcanoes, our 50th state
Six months of day and six months of night
The place I’m in is snowy white
I got a shiver and now it’s 40 below
I see a polar bear and an Eskimo
In the north of Africa’s ancient land
You’ll find the Nile river and desert sand
And pyramids standing tall in one place  
With the Sphinx, a grand lion with a human face

Rock and Roll Rail Road


No Monkeys on the Train 
There’s a special train only animals ride
The conductor has a rule, “no monkeys inside”
No monkeys, on my train
But at the first stop to let the zebras on
Ten monkeys hopped in right off the lawn
Ten monkeys, on the train
At the second stop for the rhinos wait
Ten more monkeys jumped the gate
Twenty monkeys, on the train
The giraffe got one board
at stop number three ten more monkeys swung off a tree
Thirty monkeys, on the train
Rolling up to where the penguins stay
Ten monkeys slid on and hid away
Forty monkeys, on the train
Let us in the Lions’ roared
Ten more monkeys jumped on board
Fifty monkeys, on the train
Fifty monkeys jumped right out
When the conductor started to shout
No monkeys, on my train
No monkeys, on my train
Five, ten, fifteen runaway monkeys
Twenty, twenty-five, thirty runaway monkeys
Forty, forty- five, fifty runaway monkeys
No more monkeys, on the train

Thomas
I have a friend who wears a happy face
He likes to rock & roll all over the place
Big and blue, shiny and bright
He’s dependable and does what’s right
What's his name?
What's his name?
What's his name?
Watch him roll on down the line
Sir Toppum Hat is the controller for
All his friends that live in Sodor
Henry, Gordon, Percy and James
If you love the stories you know the name
What's his name?
What's his name?
What's his name?
Watch him roll on down the line


Click, clack, click, clack
Click, clack, click, clack
Click, clack, click, clack
Click, clack, click, clack
What's his name?
What's his name?
What's his name?
Watch him roll on down the line


Click, clack, click, clack
Click, clack, click, clack
Click, clack, click, clack
Click, clack, click, clack

Railroad Sounds

The Hogwarts Express
On the first of September pack your books,

Bring your wand and meet your friends,

Look for the cart with tasty treats
Pumpkin pasties and the best!
On the first of September pack your books,
your owl and all the rest
Bring your wand and meet your friends,
on the Hogwarts Express
I heard a famous wizard
Once road inside this train
He defeated “you know who”
So our way of life remains
On the first of September pack your books,
your owl and all the rest
Bring your wand and meet your friends,
on the Hogwarts Express

The Ghost Train
Don’t stay out late tonight
Are you might get an awful fright
Stay away from the terror tracks
Or you might not live to make it back
The Ghost Train – Whoo!
The Ghost Train – Whoo!
The Ghost Train – Whoo!
Rolling all night long and disappearing at the break of dawn
After midnight you can hear the sound
As lost lonely hobos ride through town
Feel the rumble, click and clack
Of the flying Dutchman of the railroad tracks
The Ghost Train – Whoo!
The Ghost Train – Whoo!
The Ghost Train – Whoo!
Rolling all night long and disappearing at the break of dawn
It all began one stormy night
When the bridge went out before daylight
The engineer had no time to act
Is this story a legend or is it fact
The Ghost Train – Whoo!
The Ghost Train – Whoo!
The Ghost Train – Whoo!
Rolling all night long and disappearing at the break of dawn
The Ghost Train – Whoo!
The Ghost Train – Whoo!
The Ghost Train – Whoo!
Rolling all night long and disappearing at the break of dawn

Sitting at the Station
Here I am sitting at the station
Here I am sitting at the station
Here I am sitting at the station while I’m waiting for the train
I’m getting bored but I hate to complain
I could read a book sitting at the station
I could read a book sitting at the station
I could read a book sitting at the station while I’m waiting for the train
I’m getting bored but I hate to complain
I could count the people sitting at the station
I could count the people sitting at the station
I could count the people sitting at the station while I’m waiting for the train
I’m getting bored but I hate to complain
I could play a game sitting at the station
I could play a game sitting at the station
I could play a game sitting at the station while I’m waiting for the train
I’m getting bored but I hate to complain
I could listen to my music sitting at the station
I could listen to my music sitting at the station
I could listen to my music sitting at the station while I’m waiting for the train
I’m getting bored but I hate to complain
I could take a nap sitting at the station
I could take a nap sitting at the station
I could take a nap sitting at the station while I’m waiting for the train
I’m getting bored but I hate to complain

Who Graffitied Me?
It was a very happy day for engine #9
It was his first day out on the line
Big and red, shiny and bright
Until something late that night
He was in the roundhouse fast asleep
After a hard day running, never heard a peep
But when the daylight came he woke to find
graffiti artist tarnished his shine
Who graffitied me?
Who graffitied me?
I don’t understand
What did I do to deserve this spray paint tattoo?
Who graffitied me?
He lost his sparkle, he was sacred
So he asked the old timer out in the yard
Who could be so mean and commit this crime
And the old engine said, “Son, it happens all time”
They might repaint you since you’re brand new
But it’s too late for me I’m red,  black and blue
The freight cars have it worse take a look outside
Hear the sorrow of the ones that cry
Who graffitied me?
Who graffitied me?
I don’t understand
What did I do to deserve this spray paint tattoo?
Who graffitied me?
By now you guessed this tale is fiction
But if that train had a brain he would be wishing
For a chance to show vandals, right away
What it feels like to hear them say…
Who graffitied me?
Who graffitied me?
I don’t understand
What did I do to deserve this spray paint tattoo?
Who graffitied me?

Proudly a Pullman, perfectly

Counting coupons, calling to the crowd
Carefully checking while we chug and cruise

Counting Freight Cars
At the railroad crossing, sitting in the van
Counting the freight cars just because I can
1-2-3, watch them go
4-5-6, very slow
7-8-9, too much time
10 cars in a line
At the railroad crossing, sitting in the van
Counting the freight cars just because I can
10-20-30, watch them go
40-50-60, so very slow
70-80-90, way too much time
100 cars in a big long line
At the railroad crossing, sitting in the van
Counting the freight cars just because I can
100-200-300, watch them go
400-500-600, so super slow
700-800-900, it’s no use!!!
Wait a minute here comes the caboose!
No more railroad crossing, sitting in the van
Counting the freight cars just because I can
