Rainbow
I'm gonna paint a rainbow
A rainbow in the sky
I will need a ladder
So I will get real high
Chorus:
Rainbow, rainbow, colors softly blending
Rainbow, rainbow,colors gently bending
Rainbow, rainbow, colors never ending
I'll dive into my rainbow
Of red and green and blue
And I will swim in yellow
A splash of orange, too
Chorus
I'll dance upon my rainbow
'till stars light up the sky
And rest upon the stars
While moon sings lullaby
Chorus

Pasta Jiggle
You just got to wiggle
Here's a dance that's right for you
It's gonna make you giggle
'Cause it's called the Pasta Jiggle
Chorus:
Are you Ready?...Do the spaghetti!
Swing you're belly...To the rotelli!
Get nice and teeny...Do the linguine!
C'mon wiggle to the pasta, Jiggle to the pasta
Wiggle to the Pasta Jiggle
Clap your hands and move your feet
Shake your hips from side to side
Don't you love this tasty beat
It's a really fun dancing treat
Chorus
Bridge:
Don't stop now we've just begun
There's lots more pasta and plenty of fun!
If you just got to wiggle
Here's a dance that's right for you
It's gonna make you giggle
'Cause it's called the Pasta Jiggle
Chorus

Gabriel
You with your heart that heals
On my doorstep, you were so real
But your eyes threatened me
With their honesty, yes, their honesty
Was there someone there to try and take my place?
Chorus:
Gabriel, my guardian angel
Gabriel, my guardian angel
I'd always hide away
Hoping you wouldn't ask to stay
But you still followed me
So persistently, so persistently
You were always there
To try and hold my hand
Chorus
Bridge:
That's why you appeared to me
But I was too young to see
Chorus
Now that you have your wings
In my heart I feel a sting
But I want you to know
Before you, yes, before you go
There is someone here
Who always will need you
Chorus
c. 2003 Teresa Gasca-Burk & Gary Burk
Birdie
There's a bird outside my window in the tree
And he's singing very happily to me
So why would there be anything so wrong
With him singing such a pretty little song
Chorus:
It's nighttime, bedtime, time for me to sleep
It's nighttime, bedtime, there shouldn't be a peep
So sleep Birdie, sleep, sleep, sleep
Sleep, Birdie, sleep, sleep, sleep
Oh the moon has made a spotlight just for her
And her song's so sweet my kitty starts to purr
Mosquitos and crickets start to hum
And the faucet in the bathroom taps the drum
Chorus
Oh, this symphony is pretty, yes it's true
So there's just one thing that I can think to do
I lay on my pillow and close my eyes
As I'm serendaded until the sunrise
c. 2003 Teresa Gasca-Burk, Gary Burk & Jim Scoolis
Happy Thoughts
If you want to be big
You can't think small
If you want to be strong
You've got to stand tall
Chorus:
And think Happy Thought
Think Happy Thoughts
Wherever you go, whatever you do
You know your thoughts are up to you
So think Happy Thoughts
Think Happy Thoughts
When all the lights are out
And you're in bed
Instead of being afraid
Remember what I said
Chorus
The world's a brighter place
Oh yes, it's true
Because you choose your thoughts
In all the tings you do
Chorus
c. 2003 Teresa Gasca-Burk, Gary Burk & Jim Scoolis
Licorice Twist
I've got my red vest on and I'm doing the Licorice Twist
I've got my shiny black shoes and I'm dancing my toes to the twist
I'm feeling good, I'm looking neat
Twistin' my tummy to this sweet, sweet beat
Chorus:
Yeah, doin' the Licorice Twist
I'm twistin' high, I'm twistin' low
I'm twistin' any ol' way my tummy will go
Yeah, the Licorice Twist
Yeah, the Licorice Twist
This time I've got your hand and we're doing the Licorice Twist
Now let's stop and red vine, that means we're twisting in one big line
I'm feeling good, I'm looking neat
Twistin' my tummy to this sweet, sweet beat
Chorus
Licorice Twist!

Great Day
Morning came too soon
And it's chilly in my room
I'd love to pull the covers over my head
And stay in bed
But Mama says, "Get up, dear'
Cause the time for school draws near
Your breakfast eggs are getting old
Your hot tea is cold
Chorus:
It's a great day, it's a perfect day
I'm gonna try and make it my day
I'm gonna laugh today, I'm gonna smile today
And things will go my way, yeah, things will go my way
School bell rang, oh no
I've got one more block to go
And the cluds have started raining on me
But don't you see
Here at school it's great
Even teacher got here late
And at lunch, we'll have nuggets and tots
I will eat lots
Chorus
Bridge:
Things are looking good today
Cause on my test I got an A
One more thing I've got to say
Bo-dee-o-bo, it's Friday
Chorus
c. 2003 Teresa Gasca-Burk & Gary Burk
Sugar Cane Train
In the deep of the night, in the far off distance
I hear the humming of the track
And as the train rolls by, I start to think of you
The music takes me back
Chorus:
We rode the Sugar Cane Train
We rode the Sugar Cane Train
It was a wondrous ride, to have you by my side
As we were sweetly serenaded
And everywhere I gazed beauty surrounded me
My heart was so elated
Chorus
Bridge:
An island breeze was in the air
And we didn't have a care
No, we didn't have a care
Chorus
c. 2003 Teresa Gasca-Burk & Gary Burk
Circle
Oh let's all make a circle
A circle of friendship and fun
Let's all make a circle
And we'll include everyone
Chorus:
Circle, circle to the right
Give a gentle squeeze
Circle, circle round we go
Now we spin with ease
Take the hand of a friend
Or someone you'd like to meet
Come and join our circle
And make our circle complete
Chorus
Oh, let's all make a circle
Let's all make a circle
Let's all take a bow
c. 2003 Teresa Gasca-Burk & Gary Burk
Superhero
I don't need to grow up
To know what I want to be
I already know what's inside of me
Chorus:
I'm a Superhero
I'm strong, good and I care
I'm a Superhero
I'm fast, smart and aware
I always look to see
If there's someone in need
Then I roll up my sleeves
And do a good deed
Chorus
c. 2003 Teresa Gasca-Burk & Gary Burk
Do You Know
Do you know what makes you happy...do you know?
When you're happy do you smile and let it show
When the sun is in the sky shining down on you
Do you open up your heart and let it in
Chorus:
Let it in, oh, let it in
Do you open up your heart and let it in
Chorus
Do you know what makes you happy...do you know?
When you're happy do you smile and let it show
When the sun is in the sky shining down on you
Do you open up your heart and let it in
