Music For The Kid In Everyone!
The Kitchen Pan Band c. 2012
The Kitchen Pan Band is our newest CD and it has some of our favorite songs! We started recording at home and then took the songs to our good friend, Terry Lawless, who made everything sound great! He can play any instrument and on this CD he played keyboards, organ, saxophone, flute, bass and drums!! Maybe someone should hire him!
Kitchen Pan Band
We're the Kitchen Pan Band, we don't mess around
Grandma is our leader, we have a retro sound
We're cookin' in the kitchen, wooden spoon in hand
Beatin' on a sauce pan, tappin' on a can
Chorus:
We're sizzlin' hot
In this happy spot
The Kitchen Pan Band
We're the Kitchen Pan Band, we don't mind the heat
Popcorn is our rhythym, two lids keep our beat
We'd love for you to join us, come and have some fun
We will keep on playin' till our dinner's done
Chorus
Bridge:
OK kids, let's add some spice!
And make it nice
A dash of salt, a pinch of pepper
Oh good ahead...add some more pepper
That's it...now it's spicy!
Chorus

Little Miss Lelu
Her hair is short, it’s black and curly
Her eyes are brown, they're big and swirly
She has her nose, up in the air
She struts around, without a care
And she’s got all the hounds in a tizzy
But she won’t give them time, she’s too busy
Chorus:
She’s Little Miss Lelu
Little Miss Lovely
Little Miss Look at Me
She’s Little Miss Princess
Little Miss Perfect
Little Miss Poodle-e-dee
She sits upon, her royal chair
While everyone, attends her there
Her many suitor, are at her feet
But she prefers, a doggy treat
Chorus
Bridge:
There she goes, she’s such a star, she’s goin’ far!
Chorus
c. 2012 Teresa Gasca-Burk & Gary Burk
Sing!
There are lots of birds in the sky
It is not for me to ask why
All I know is I’ve got my wings
And something makes me want to sing
Chorus:
So I’ll sing
Yes, I’ll sing
My own song
There are lots of birds in the tree
Some of them even look like me
Brothers and sisters are we
Part of one precious family
Chorus
Bridge: La La La La…
Have you ever wanted to fly
Spread your wings and take to the sky
Do you ever want to be heard
Like a church bell, the raindrops, or a bird
Chorus

Do the Right Thing
Look both ways before you start crossing the street
Remember to wash your hands before you eat
Help the little old lady with the door
And pick up that piece of trash you see on the floor
It’s not always the coolest thing to do
But it feels good when your through
Chorus:
Do the right thing (Do, do, do, do, do)
Do the right thing (Do, do, do, do, do)
Always do your best when your taking a test
Try to play quiet when the baby’s taking a rest
Turn the lights off if you don’t need them anymore
Remember to smile when you’re doing your chores
It’s not always the coolest thing to do
But it feels good when your through
Chorus
Break:
Just ask yourself what feels right
What's the best thing to do
Chorus:

Lucky Dog
You’re always there
When I get home from school
Happy to see me is your golden rule
You’re full of love
And big sloppy kisses
You’re the answer to all of my wishes
Chorus:
Oh, I’m a Lucky Dog, I’m a Lucky Dog
I’m a Lucky Dog, you’re my dog!
(Repeat)
You’re my best friend
There by my side
Or sittin on my lap when we’re on a car ride
You do all your tricks
Just the way I taught you
Now here’s a bone for you to chew
Chorus
Bridge:
Your black and white spots
And your soft fluffy ears
Set you apart from the rest
Oh my Odie, you're the best!
Chorus

Mother Earth
Chorus:
Mother Earth, Mother Earth
I thank you for my home
(repeat)
The green grass so very soft is carpet for my toes
The big blue sky so high, the roof above my nose
The cool, running river, a bathtub for my feet
The old fallen timber, the table where I eat
Chorus
The warm, smooth bed where I lay is a large rock by the creek
The wind through the leaves, ohhh, the music that I seek
The sunrise, the sunset, a joy to watch each day
The hot sandy beach is the game room where I play
Chorus
Bridge:
And I will share your planet
WIth all creatures big and small
Plants, animals and people
You are home to us all
Mother Earth. Mother Earth
We thank you for our home
(Repeat)

Fly High
Taxi Mama Blues
What a perfect night and the time is right
When I dream dreams of flying through the air
See you flying, too, dreams are coming true
When you believe you can, then you do
Chorus:
Fly High...
Through the clouds are rippling waves of indigo blue
Fly High...
Reach out and touch the wonder, wonder in you
What a perfect day, nothing more to say
Open our wings and take to the skies
Over scented pines where the river winds
Dipping and swirling beyond space or time
Chorus
What a perfect life filled with pure delight
When I believe my dreams can come true
So let your guiding light set your soul in flight
Start here right now there’s nothing here to lose
It’s waiting there for you
Dream big, believe, there's nothing you can't do
And if you think you might
Shoot straight to the stars, I’ll meet you tonight and
Chorus
Gonna Fly High...You and I...Gonna Fly High

Well, we're riding down the road in our red hot minivan
Yeah, we're riding down the road in our red hot minivan
We're headed for the park, or at least that is the plan
'Cause anything can happen right out of the blue
Yes, anything can happen right out of the blue
When you've got a co-pilot telling you what to do
Chorus:
I've got a backseat driver, sippy cup in hand
I've got a backseat driver, he's the one in command
Well, you may think this could never happen to you, well I've got news
Someday you may be singin' the Taxi Mama Blues!
First a trip to well-check, then a trip to pre-school
First a trip to well-check, then a trip to pre-school
Then it's off to swim class where we both get in the pool
And that is just Monday, first day of the week
Yeah, that is just Monday, first day of the week
Wait until Wednesday when his schedule starts to peak
Chorus
We spent hours and hours getting ready today
We spent hours and hours getting ready today
For that very special playdate we're finally on our way
Well, we're almost there when I start singin' the blues
Yes, we're almost there when I start singin' the blues
'Cause my backseat driver has decided to take a snooze
Chorus

Slip n' Slide
In the year of 1961
Oh, those kids knew how to have some fun
In the backyard and the front yard, too
Keepin’ cool was what they used to do
Times have changed, but kids still play
That’s why we do it today
Chorus:
Slip n’ slide
Let’s go for a ride
On my slip n’ slide
Let’s go for a ride
Turn on the hose, get the water flowing
Put on your suit and let’s get going
We’re gonna spend, the day in the sun
Slipin’ slidin’ and having some fun
Times have changed, but kids still play
That’s why we do it today
Chorus
C'mon everybody, let's go for a ride!
Chorus
c. 2012 Teresa Gasca-Burk & Gary Burk
Indian Summer
Walkin barefoot to Roy's
Looking out the cute boys
Orange soda and chips
Sun-kissed face, sun-kissed lips
Chorus:
It’s an Indian Summer in Sweet San Fernando
Just a girl of thirteen, who’s starting to dream
On an Indian summer in Sweet San Fernando
Picnics at Sunland Park
Playing tag till it’s dark
At the drive-in we’ll see
The latest Disney movie
Chorus
Bridge:
And the warm wind felt right
Things were happy and light
Sunday drives to the creek
Climbing up to the peak
All my family is there
With laughter to share
Chorus
