JUDY’S TUNE ROOM
Words & Music by Judy Pancoast © 2005

CHORUS:
Come on in, come on in to my tune room
I got a melody waiting for you
Come on in, come on in to my tune room
See what the magic of music can do.

I love to dance and I sing all day
I’ve got every kind of instrument you’d ever want to play;
The bass drum to the violin
You can try every one if you come on in!

REPEAT CHORUS

I’ll sing for you when you need it most,
If you’re happy, sad or scared ‘cause you think you’ve seen a ghost;
Maybe you’ll sing along with me
‘Cause when we sing together there’s harmony.

REPEAT CHORUS

IT’S ALL ABOUT KOO KOO
Words & Music by Judy Pancoast © 2003

I, I say, I say it’s, I say it’s all, I say it’s all about…

CHORUS:
I say it’s all about Koo Koo!
It’s all about being your crazy self;
It’s all about Koo Koo!
It’s all about being like no one else.
Totally original, doing the impossible, baby, it’s a miracle, YOU!
It’s all about Koo Koo, it’s all about you!

Goin’ to the Mall on Tuesday morning, hardly anybody’s there.
Suddenly, impossibly, and without warning got to step on only yellow squares.
Mama says, “What’s wrong with you? Acting like you’re in a zoo!”
Mama don’t you know it’s true!

REPEAT CHORUS

Getting dressed for school you check your wardrobe, picking out purple pants;
Orange shirt with stars that seem to explode when ya break into a dance.
Not afraid to be yourself, shining like nobody else,
To yourself you must be true!

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE:
Who do you admire? Never lose that fire!
Just keep growing older and keep growing bolder and Koo Koo!
Lots of people have gown up and stayed Koo Koo,
The Three Stooges (Koo Koo!)**, Lucy (Koo Koo!)** Jim Carrey (Koo Koo)
There’s Eddie Murphy (Koo Koo!) Queen Latifah (Koo Koo)

REPEAT CHORUS

**if you don’t know who they are, ask your Mom and Dad!

LOOK AT ME
Words & Music by Judy Pancoast © 2003

CHORUS:
Look at me, look at me!
I’m doing something that I want you to see;
Put down the paper, put down the mop.
I’m growing up and I’m not gonna stop!
So look, look at me, look at me now!

Are you really too busy to look my way?
I want to show you what I learned today
Give me your time, just a little while,
I promise I will make you smile!

REPEAT CHORUS

You know, I want to make you proud
I want to hear you shout out loud
You’re gonna be amazed,
Showing off, I need your praise, so

REPEAT CHORUS

(Here you should say what you can do! And then say “Look at me!”)

BUENA VISTA
(Beautiful View)
Words & Music by Judy Pancoast © 2003

CHORUS:
Buena Vista, Buena Vista
I am swinging on the swing with my sista!
We are soaring, we’re exploring;
And it’s a beautiful view from over here.

My brother wears the same pajamas to bed every night
Even though he outgrew them and they’re way too tight!
That’s why I didn’t feel bad when I just had to laugh
When he bent over and they split in half!

REPEAT CHORUS

I wake up in the morning all snuggly in my bed;
My furry little kitty is sitting by my head.
Then she gets up and puts her tail up in the air,
And that’s when I wish kitties wore underwear

REPEAT CHORUS

Down at the zoo I like to visit the baboons;
I think they’re even funnier than watching cartoons.
God gave them fur on their tails and on their faces;
I wish he had some left for their bottom places!

REPEAT CHORUS

I’d like to tell you everything you see will be nice;
But sometimes things are nasty so I’ll give you some advice:
When you see a sight that’s really rather rude;
That’s when it’s important to have a good attitude

REPEAT CHORUS

A LITTLE BIT OF ELVIS
Lyrics and music by Judy Pancoast ©2003

He didn’t wear a crown and he didn’t have a throne;
He didn’t have a mansion or a kingdom of his own.
He was just a poor boy with a little bit of soul
He grew up to be the king of rock and roll and

CHORUS
There’s a little bit of Elvis in you and me;
A little bit of Elvis, the man from Tennessee.
That’s today’s lesson in music history…
There’s a little bit of Elvis in you and me!

VERSE TWO
Ask the old man walking down the street;
Ask anybody anywhere..everyone you meet.
Ask them who’s the king of rock and roll,
They’ll say ‘It’s Elvis, little one…everybody knows that

CHORUS

I know you love to dance and shake your groove
But did ya know about the guy who invented that move?
Just a boy and his guitar, taking care of biz,
But every time you shake it you shake it like him…cause there’s a

REPEAT CHORUS

You can go to Switzerland, you can go to Peru
You can go to Indonesia or to Timbuktu…
The butcher, the baker, the girl from the block,
They all know how to do the Jailhouse Rock cause there’s a

KISS ME, I'M IRISH TODAY
Words & Music by Judy Pancoast © 2003

My Memere came from Canada, my Grandmama came from France;
But I was made in America, just like my underpants!
My hair is straight, my eyes are brown,
I’ve never been to Dublin Town,
But a four-leaf clover I have found so
Kiss me, I’m Irish today!

CHORUS:
Kiss me, I’m Irish today!
Kiss me, I’m Irish today!
Once a year St. Patrick’s Day, everybody gets to say
Kiss me, I’m Irish today!

St. Patrick was a holy man, he drove the snakes away;
And if you go to Ireland, you’ll ne’er see one today.
That’s something I share with the Saint,
I don’t like snakes, they make me faint!
So pucker up, make no complaint…just kiss me, I’m Irish today!

REPEAT CHORUS

If you kiss the Blarney Stone you’ll have a lucky life:
You’ll make a million dollars and you’ll find a pretty wife
The Blarney Stone is there, not here
And I am standing close, my dear
So bring those big lips over here and kiss me, I’m Irish today

REPEAT CHORUS

BETTER THINGS TO DO
Words & Music by Judy Pancoast © 1998

One day my friend showed me something,
He said, “This will make you a star”
You’ll be cool, you’ll be pretty, you’ll be popular, you’ll ride in a limo car;
I said, “What’s that?” and he opened his hand
And said, “It’s a magical pill;”
But I’ve heard about that stuff before, so I said, “No way…I like natural thrills!”

CHORUS
I’ve got better things to do, and you can do them too!
We can learn to hula-hoop, or join a scouting troop;
We can go to the amusement park, or play hide-and-seek in the dark;
I’ve got better things to do, and I want to do them with you.

I know that you are really smart, you’ve got to believe in yourself’
Let it come from deep inside your heart
Not from drugs, cigarettes or anyone else.
Like I told my friend, “Use your head, and throw that stuff away.”
Then we went on a roller coaster ride and we’re still having fun today…

REPEAT CHORUS

I LOVE THE RAIN
Words & Music by Judy Pancoast © 2003

We used to sit in the garage with the door rolled up;
Me and my Dad, just watchin’ the raindrops.
I’d try to catch those drops in a jar
And recycle the rain by washing the car.

CHORUS:
Some people claim that the rain is a pain but as for me I’ll never complain
Cause I love the rain, I love the rain, I love the rain, I love the rain.

Now when it rains on a Saturday
I never, never say “Rain, rain go away”
I just pull the covers up over my head
And listen to the rain fall over my bed

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE:
Go out and dance in a natural shower, washing the birds, feeding the flowers;
Making the rivers rush off to the sea…
Oh let the rain fall down on me!
And as you watch things grow, you might just see a rainbow…oh, oh, oh

When it rains and you can’t go out to play,
You gotta stay inside, but that’s ok;
Just turn off the TV and turn on your brain
And make up a song about the rain
REPEAT CHORUS
REPEAT BRIDGE
REPEAT CHORUS
I love the rain……..

SHARKS
Words & Music by Judy Pancoast © 2003

CHORUS:
Whenever I’m in the ocean I’m afraid I’ll see
Sharks, sharks staring straight back at me

Great White sharks, blue sharks, Hammerhead sharks,
Mako sharks, tiger sharks, gliding through the dark;
The whale shark’s the coolest shark to meet
Unless he decides to chomp your feet!

REPEAT CHORUS

Round eyes, black eyes, big ol’ button eyes…
Sharp teeth, white teeth, rows of bite teeth!
At night I snuggle down in my bed
And see those sharks swimming round my head!!

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE:
Even if you’re an excellent swimmer
Don’t go swimming after dinner.
The shark, he fast and maybe wiser;
Gonna make you his appetizer

REPEAT CHORUS

SAND CASTLES
Words & Music by Judy Pancoast © 2003

When I go to the beach I don’t go swimming
I’ve heard there are sharks there who like to eat women!
And I don’t get a tan, cause a tan makes you wrinkled.
I once met a man so tan that he crinkled.
So what do I do on my day by the sea?
I’ll tell you and then perhaps you’ll come with me and make

CHORUS:
Sand castles, sandcastles all afternoon.
Sandcastles, sandcastles here on the dunes.
They’re the biggest and tallest that you’ve ever seen
For I am the Sand Castle Queen!

Got my pail and my shovel and all of my tools.
A sandcastle architect has to have rules
So I never use sand that’s too wet or too dry;
It might make my sand castle fall, then I’d cry
(Everybody say “WAHH!”)

REPEAT CHORUS

I once made a sand castle very ornate.
It won the blue ribbon for being most great
It had towers and turrets and a moat with a dragon
I loved it so I brought it home in my wagon!
(Everybody say “YAY!”)

REPEAT CHORUS

If you want to make your sand castles terrific,
Here’s some advice, I’ll be very specific
You must watch out for toddlers, and dogs can mean trouble…
One wrong move can turn your sand castle to rubble!
(Everybody say “OH NO!”)

REPEAT CHORUS

STINKY FEET
Words & Music by Judy Pancoast © 2003

The whole family’s sittin’ down to watch TV;
Daddy stretches out on the couch next to me.
He slips off his shoes and I smell that perfume
Suddenly everybody up and leaves the room!

CHORUS:
He’s got stinky feet, stinky pickle juice feet;
Stinky toes, baby that ain’t no rose;
Stinky feet, stinky pickle juice…Stinky, stinky pickle juice feet.

My sister lost her baby bottle Saturday night;
By Monday when we found it…Man! That sucker was ripe!
Well, let me tell you brother that it couldn’t compare
To the one-of-a-kind aroma of Dad’s feet in the air!

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE:
Daddy’s got a pair of sandals…They could cause a neighborhood scandal!
He could evacuate our whole town
Just by waving them shoes around

REPEAT CHORUS

Now you may think I’m naughty, you may think I’m bad
Talking disrespectfully about dear old dad;
But please believe I wouldn’t be complaining like this
If he hadn’t passed on his stinky feet to my little sis!

REPEAT CHORUS

ONE BIG EYEBALL
Words & Music by Judy Pancoast © 2003

There’s a game I like to play, won’t you play with me?
Put your nose up close to mine and tell me what you see….

CHORUS
One big eyeball
One big eyeball
One big eyeball
One big eyeball

Romeo and Juliet tried to share a kiss
He put his face up close to hers but all he saw was this!

REPEAT CHORUS

If you want to play this game, here’s a little hint
Give the one you’re playing with a really strong breath mint!

REPEAT CHORUS

REPEAT CHORUS

Now you know my little game, play it with pizazz
You will see before too long everybody has…just….

REPEAT CHORUS

HANGIN' AROUND
Words & Music by Judy Pancoast © 2003

VERSE ONE
Don’t got no lessons I don’t got no games;
Everything’s cancelled cause of pouring rain
And it’s a good day (good day) for hanging around.
Turn off the clock and Mama put away those keys;
We’re gonna spend this day doin’ what we please
Cause it’s a good day (good day) for hanging around

CHORUS:
Hanging around, Hanging around,
Hanging around, Hanging around

VERSE TWO:
We got a million games we haven’t played,
We got some recipes we haven’t made,
And it’s a good day (good day) for hanging around
REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE:
And there’s nothing I would rather do
Then spend the whole day hanging around with you!

VERSE THREE:
Just hold me close to you when day is done;
Say we did nothing but it sure was fun…
It was a good day (good day) for hanging around

REPEAT CHORUS

TUNE ROOM REPRISE

Cause when we sing together there’s harmony!
Come on in, come on into my tune room
I got a melody waiting for you
Come on in, come on into my tune room
See what the magic of music can do
See what the magic of music can do!
