Rock and Roll All Night - 2012 Summer Reading CD



A Hard Day's Night

It's been a hard day's night
And I've been working like a dog.
It's been a hard day's night,
I should be sleeping like a log.
But when I get home to you,
I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright.
You know I work all day
To get you money to buy you things.
And it's worth it just to here you say,
You're gonna give me everything.
So why on earth should I moan,
'Cos when I get you alone
You know I feel okay.
When I'm home everything seems to be right.
When I'm home feeling you holding me tight, tight, yeah.
It's been a hard day's night
And I've been working like a dog.
It's been a hard day's night,
I should be sleeping like a log.
But when I get home to you,
I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright.
So why on earth should I moan,
'Cos when I get you alone
You know I feel okay.
When I'm home everything seems to be right.
When I'm home feeling you holding me tight, tight, yeah.
It's been a hard day's night
And I've been working like a dog.
It's been a hard day's night,
I should be sleeping like a log.
But when I get home to you,
I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright.
You know I feel alright,
You know I feel alright.

Reach for the Stars! 


Raise your hands to the sky
Prepare yourself and get ready to fly
Hold your head up and bend at the knees
Take off and jump as high as you please

Reach for the stars!
Up, up, up, up!
Reach for the stars!
Up, up, up, up!
So long Venus, seeya Mars
The Milky Way will soon be ours
Reach for the stars!
Up, up, up, up!
Reach for the stars
Everybody drop and have a seat
And listen to this groovy beat
Goodbye gravity your work is done
Seven, six, five, four, three, two, one!
Reach for the stars!
Up, up, up, up!
Reach for the stars!
Up, up, up, up!
So long Venus, seeya Mars
The milky Way will soon be ours
Reach for the stars!
Up, up, up, up!
Reach for the stars!
Up, up, up, up!
Now wave your hands above your face
Like you’re floating out in space
Move ‘em left and swing ‘em right
Orbit like a satellite…real slow
Nowhere to go
The earth is far below
Get ready here we go! Everybody…

Reach for the stars!
Up, up, up, up!
Reach for the stars!
Up, up, up, up!
So long Venus, seeya Mars
The milky Way will soon be ours
Reach for the stars!
Up, up, up, up!
Reach for the stars!
Up, up, up, up!


Things That Go Bump in the Night


“Turn out the light,” my mother said,
“Brush your teeth and go to bed.”
She doesn’t know about my plight
‘Bout things that go bump in the night

Things that go bump (bump, bump)
Things that go bump (bump, bump)
Things that go bump (bump, bump)
Things that go bump in the night

Maybe it’s a vampire hiding out there
With ruby red lips and slick black hair
Waiting to give me a terrible bite
Like things that go bump in the night

Things that go bump (bump, bump)
Things that go bump (bump, bump)
Things that go bump (bump, bump)
Things that go bump in the night

Is that a werewolf at my door?
Same as 30 days before
Back again with his full moon fright
With things that go bump in the night

Things that go bump (bump, bump)
Things that go bump (bump, bump)
Things that go bump (bump, bump)
Things that go bump in the night

Bump, bump, bump, b-bump, b-bump
Bump, bump, bump, b-bump, b-bump
Bump, bump, bump, b-bump, b-bump
Things that go bump in the night

A mummy wants to turn my room
Into a dusty pharaoh's tomb
I don’t know why he thought I might
Want to go bump in the night (no way!)

Things that go bump (bump, bump)
Things that go bump (bump, bump)
Things that go bump (bump, bump)
Things that go bump in the night

Bump, bump, bump, b-bump, b-bump
Bump, bump, bump, b-bump, b-bump
Bump, bump, bump, b-bump, b-bump…

Living in Dreamland 

Floating around in a vacuum place
No gravity to hold me just endless space
I was riding a rocket off to the stars
I got to visit the moon on my way to Mars
Living in dreamland imagining
What I was in my dream
What I was in my dream

I had a helmet on, it was time to rock
Surrounded by a team of super jocks
Running really quickly on the green, green grass
A crowd was cheering when I caught the pass
Living in dreamland imagining
What I was in my dream
What I was in my dream

Living in dreamland in my bed
Watching the movies inside my head
I’ m the star in every scene I write
Living in dreamland every night

An alarm was ringing I had to be quick
Got in the truck I was fully equipped
Climbing the ladder swinging my axe
Saving lives was my only task
Living in dreamland imagining
What I was in my dream
What I was in my dream

I wanna rock and roll all nite and party every day
I wanna rock and roll all nite and party every day
I wanna rock and roll all nite and party every day



Before the Morning Light

When I look into the sea of distant stars and galaxies’


Constellations fill my gaze Cassiopeia light lights the stage at night
Before the morning light
When I lift my head up high to see an airplane in the sky
Moving lights are all I see the passengers move invisibly at night
Before the morning light
When the moon comes up and the sun goes down
The crickets make that chirping sound
Mothers put their kids to bed
Time for dreams to fill their heads
When I look out into space with my night time dreamy face
Will I see a UFO where is it from where will it go tonight
Before the morning light
When I look into the dark sky on the 4th of each July
I see rockets as they fly racing to explode up high at night
Before the morning light
When the moon comes up and the sun goes down
The crickets make that chirping sound
Mothers put their kids to bed
Time for dreams to fill their heads

Read a Book and Dream

When I read a book before I go to bed
Echoes of the story spin inside my head
And it seems like these are not dreams
When I read about space I’m an astronaut
Or a dragon and a princess and a battle fought
It still seems like these are not dreams 
Read a book and dream, oh yeah
It’s so easy to do
Read a book and dream, oh yeah
And you might just learn a thing or two
In between chapters I close my eyes
And imagine myself the hero guy
And it seems like these are not dreams
I travel the world and cure a disease
Visit the moon and the redwood trees
And it seems like these are not dreams
Read a book and dream, oh yeah
It’s so easy to do
Read a book and dream, oh yeah
And you might just learn a thing or two
Imagination is the only thing
You need to be crowned the Pumpkin King
And it seems like these are not dreams
Living underwater in Atlantis style
Singing this song and making children smile
And it seems like these are not dreams


Martin Luther King, He Had a Dream


He was born on 15th day of January ‘29
He was a man a peace, he saw the warning signs
He stood up for equality, peace and harmony and civil rights
He did his best to erase the line that divided black and white
Martin Luther King
He had a dream; an amazing thing
Martin Luther King
He had a dream; an amazing thing
He was truly a man of faith, who couldn’t bear to be silent
He was inspired by Mahatma Gandhi and would never be violent
He was the leader of a movement that would forever change us all
He inspired generations in the 60’s with his wake up call
Martin Luther King
He had a dream; an amazing thing
Martin Luther King
He had a dream; an amazing thing
Even when evil tried to take it away
His dream was so big, it’s still alive today
You can’t be radical or too extreme
When you know you’re right and you dare to dream!
He once said all men are brothers, so do our best to live in peace
He believed love had the power to end war, injustice and grief
He was a man who could not be silenced, his voice still echoes strong
He left us many words of wisdom, everybody sing along
Martin Luther King
He had a dream; an amazing thing
Martin Luther King
He had a dream; an amazing thing

The Sleeping Song


Daddy is sleeping don't wake him up
Daddy is sleeping everybody quiet
Daddy is sleeping his eyes are shut
Daddy is sleeping don't wake him up

Mommy is sleeping don't make a sound
Mommy is sleeping tiptoe around
Mommy is sleeping don't play too loud
Mommy is sleeping don't make a sound

Everybody needs sleep
Everybody needs sleep
Everybody needs sleep
To be your best you need your rest!

The kitty is sleeping she's rolled into a ball
The kitty is sleeping at the end of the hall 
The kitty is sleeping her name don't call
The kitty is sleeping she's rolled into a ball

Our neighbors are sleeping on that live on our block
Our neighbors are sleeping every door is locked
Our neighbors are sleeping they set their clocks
Our neighbors are sleeping on that live on our block

All the children are sleeping and you should be too
All the children are sleeping and dreaming it's true
All the children are sleeping they're not at the zoo
All the children are sleeping and you should be too

The Cricket Love Song


The cricket, the cricket, the cricket love song
The cricket, the cricket, the cricket love song
The cricket, the cricket, the cricket love song
The cricket, the cricket, the cricket love song

Late at night you can hear the sound
In the woods when the sun goes down
They start to chip
Wings go to work
From dusk until dawn
Hear the cricket love song

The cricket, the cricket, the cricket love song
The cricket, the cricket, the cricket love song

Tiny creatures with big back feet
Try to attract a mate that’s sweet
The woods are awake
With music they make
Every frog, bird and fawn
Knows the cricket love song

The cricket, the cricket, the cricket love song
The cricket, the cricket, the cricket love song
The cricket, the cricket, the cricket love song
The cricket, the cricket, the cricket love song

Female crickets listen with two ears
Attached to their elbows, do you think that’s weird?
Instead of a kiss, antennae clinched
Another courtship is born
With a cricket love song

Late at night you can hear the sound
The cricket, the cricket, the cricket love song
In the woods when the sun goes down
The cricket, the cricket, the cricket love song
The cricket, the cricket, the cricket love song
The cricket, the cricket, the cricket love song

Fireflies

You would not believe your eyesIf ten million fireflies lit up the world as i fell asleep'Cause they'd fill the open airand leave teardrops everywhereyou'd think me rude but I'd just stand and stare

I'd like to make myself believe
that planet Earth turns slowly
Its hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
  
Cause id get a thousand hugs from ten thousand lightning bugs
as they tried to teach me how to dance
A foxtrot above my head
a sockhop beneath my bed
a disco ball is just hanging by a thread

I'd like to make myself believe
that planet Earth turns slowly
Its hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When i fall asleep
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/o/owl-city/191244.html ]
leave my door open just a crack
(please take me away from here)
'Cause i feel like such an insomniac
(please take me away from here)
why do i tire of counting sheep
(please take me away from here)
when I'm far too tired to fall asleep

To ten million fireflies
I'm weird 'cause i hate goodbyes
i got misty eyes as they said farewell
but ill know where several are
if my dreams get real bizarre
'cause i saved a few and i keep them in a jar


I'd like to make myself believe
that planet Earth turns slowly
Its hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When i fall asleep
I'd like to make myself believe
that planet Earth turns slowly
Its hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When i fall asleep

I'd like to make myself believe
that planet Earth turns slowly
Its hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
