verse one
When I’m feelin’ scared,
I don’t wanna be scared anymore.
All I do is hop-
I feel good like never before.
chorus:
All I do is hop any time of the day.
Never gonna stop
Till I hop all my worries away.

Now I’m feelin’ happy,
And you can see I’m wearin’ a smile.
Up and down I go.
Don’t ya know, I’m goin’ in style.
Yes, I am.

bridge:
I can hop on one foot.
I can hop on two.
I can’t be nervous
When there’s so much hoppin’ to do.
outro:
All I do is hop,
And I’m not scared anymore.
Never gonna stop.
Oh, no, not me.
All I do is hop
Any time of the day.
Never gonna stop.
Oh, I’m never gonna stop – no, no.
All I do is hop.
Oh, I’m not scared anymore.
Never gonna stop.
Never, never, never gonna stop.
All I do is hop.

Just Like Magic

and Song Wizard Music (ASCAP)
verse one:
used to fill my days with wonder,
But all of that musta got away from me.
You know how it is in the day-to-day –
Things that matter most kinda slip away.
chorus:
And then just like magic, I was ten feet off the ground.
Just like magic, my whole world went to spinnin’ around.
I was stuck, but Lady Luck had somethin’ hidin’ up her sleeve,
And then just like magic, I found a love like you wouldn’t believe.
verse two:
Lookin’ back, I was holdin’ on
A little too tight to reality.
I had a long list of what I couldn’t do.
I’d even given up on a dream or two.
(repeat chorus)

Ooo-whee, it feels good when the chains are broken.
Ooo-whee, I was thinkin’ I would never be free.

Two big frogs,
Three polka-dotted butterflies,

One more penguin joins them.

Eight children giggling in the autumn breeze,
Nine piglets running all around their pen.
One more piglet joins them.

As we count to ten.

We do it again.

Some bubble kelp sodas and Algae hors d’oeuvres.

Mi Pelota
words and music by Dave Kinnoin
©2019 Song Wizard Music (ASCAP)

I met a Mexican girl
When I was building a house
In a very poor neighborhood.
I said, “Would you like a ball
From my work bag right here?”
She said, “Oh, yes, I really would.”

Mi pelota es tu pelota.
Mi sonrisa es tu sonrisa.
Mi familia es tu familia.
Mi pelota es tu pelota.

So we threw back and forth.
We both learned some new words.
We were laughin’ and havin’ fun.
Then other kids came around.
We all took a turn
As we called out one by one…
(repeat chorus)
bridge:
It never occurred to us at all
That we lived worlds apart
‘Cause all that we heard as we played ball
Was the new song in our hearts.
verse three:
“La pelota” means “ball,”
“La sonrisa” means “smile,”
“La familia” means “family,”
And there’s a very good chance
We can be friends
If you will sing with me…

Bouncin’ on the Bumps
words and music by Jimmy Hammer and Dave Kinnoin
©2019 Sync Track (ASCAP) and Song Wizard Music (ASCAP)
verse one:
Mommy said, “This drive’s a bore.
I wish the miles would offer more.
Hey, let’s take the scenic route.”
Daddy grumbled once or twice.
I called out from the back, “Be nice.
Hey, it just could be a hoot!”
We left that well-paved interstate.
Now everything is goin’ great.
chorus:
We’re bouncin’ on the bumps. Bump, bump, bump.
Dancin’ in the dips. Whee, whee, whee!
It’s plain to see this is gonna be one of our wildest trips.
Bouncin’ on the bumps. Bump, bump, bump.
Dancin’ in the dips. Whee, whee, whee!
This road’s designed with fun in mind.
Bump, bump, bump, whee, whee, whee!
Bouncin’ on the bumps, dancin’ in the dips.
verse two:
My hands are flyin’ – so are my feet.
I’m glad I’m buckled in a baby seat.
A kid could bounce pretty far.
My rattle and my apple juice
Were not strapped in, and they got loose.
Gee, I hope they’re somewhere in the car.
But I’m not worried ’bout them now.
I’m havin’ too much fun – wow!
(repeat chorus)
bridge:
Look out the window – there’s adventure up ahead.
Hills and curves are for the takin’.
We’re gonna go and see what’s shakin’.

Round and round and round
And up and up and down and down we go.
Bump, bump, bump. Whee, whee, whee! So much to see.
Round and round and round
And up and up and down and down.

Just followin’ the yellow line.

Halloween Party Tonight
words and music by Dave Kinnoin
©2019 Song Wizard Music (ASCAP)
verse one:
We have our costumes on –
We’re gonna trick or treat
As the haunted mansion whispers and moans.
We hear the door ghost say,
“Hey, wouldn’t it be neat
To shake, shake, shake some skeleton bones?”
Ooh, the goblins are a-prowlin’,
The black cats are a-howlin’,
The spiders spin so fast, it’s a fright.
All the broomsticks are a-flyin’.
There’s really no denyin’
It’s a Halloween party tonight.
chorus:
Halloween.
Come to a Halloween party tonight.
We gotta make the scene
In the full moonlight
At the Halloween party tonight.
verse two:
How can a picture talk?
Well, we just might find out.
Yeah, if we can just hold on to our wits.
And now a headless man begins to twist and shout,
And his head is wonderin’ where it fits.
The chandeliers are clangin’,
The ballroom bats are hangin’,
The gigglin’ gargoyles make quite a sight.
Bound to be a lot of dancin’
In the haunted mansion
At the Halloween party tonight.
(repeat chorus)
bridge:
Now don’t be scared.
You will see it’ll be all right.
Just be prepared
To go jumpin’ with a pumpkin,
And you better hold on tight
‘Cause it’s…

And we’ll both be outta here.
We’re gonna…

Up ahead, ’round the bend,
With some luck, I will find a friend.
We’ll figure out what’s up and pull together,
Have some fun in ways we never knew,
And let our laughs ring true,
Even though right now I’m feelin’ blue.

In this world full of mysteries,
Ever changing realities,
Don’t think, just feel.
Don’t blink as I reveal…

Questioning what it’s all about.
Some laws get bent.

Many things just like you.

I Don’t Think So
words and music by Dave Kinnoin
©2005 Song Wizard Music (ASCAP)
intro:
Hello, children.
Welcome to the Festival of Amazing Offers!
Today you will have golden opportunities
To improve the quality of your life.
Remember, our profitability
Is dependent on your gullibility.
Are you ready? Here we go!
verse one:
How ‘bout a magic ring
That makes you happy all the time?
Perhaps some hiking boots
That give you pep talks when you climb?
Don’t miss our special offer,
One day only, don’t be late:
Three socks for the price of two.
Only $19.98!
After mail-in rebate, plus tax,
Shipping and handling.
So, whaddya say, kids?
Hmm…magic ring, pep talks,
And three socks? Uh, well…
chorus:
I don’t think so.
Do you think I’ve lost my mind?
I see how you’re workin’,
What’s lurkin’ behind.
You’re so full of hooey.
Take your gooey gab and go.
You say you want my money.
I don’t think so.
verse two:
A shipment just came in
Of marbles that turn days to nights.
Fly like a bird with Crow-Man wings
With matching shirt and tights.
If you act quickly and not think so much
You lose the chance,
You can be a millionaire
If you wear our lucky pants.
Only $39.99, unless you live in a state
That has more than three letters in its name.
So, whaddya say, kids?
Let me see…supernatural marbles,
Jumping out of a window,
And did I hear you say “lucky pants”?
Very enticing, but I’m gonna have to say…
(repeat chorus)
bridge:
When I say, “I don’t think so,”
There are only two chances you’ve got.
Are you ready?
There’s none and zero
And, oh yeah, one more:
The chances of Antarctica
Suddenly becoming hot.
Don’t hold your breath, big guy.
verse three:
You are the winner of
A cash reward quite large in size.
Send us your email address
If you want to claim your prize.
Include your savings account number
And, of course, your name.
If you fail to do this,
You’ll only have yourself to blame.
Kids, you definitely don’t want
To miss out on this one!
(repeat chorus)
outro
Trying to sell me things
That are too good to be true is one thing,
But now you want my personal information?
You’re outta here!

Otter Facts
words and music by Dave Kinnoin
©2019 Song Wizard Music (ASCAP)
verse one:
Otters live near the river.
Their fur is quite thick,
So they don’t have to shiver.
They grunt, snort and scream.
They whistle, chuckle and chirp.
After eating fish and frogs,
They’ve been known to burp.
chorus:
Otter facts –
A few tips from the water.
Otter facts –
If you don’t know ’em,
Well, you ought-er.
They’re with us every day,
And you want to get an A.
Otter facts, otter facts.
verse two:
Otters make musk that is smelly.
They swim and they dig,
And they slide on their belly.
Their feet have sharp claws.
Their whiskers grow to be long.
They run up on short, brown legs
When they hear this song.
(repeat chorus)
bridge:
They love to play.
These animals with long tails
Sure love to play!
Yes, yes, they know there’s work to do,
And they do it, too.
Every single otter loves to play.

Tookie Tookie
words and music by Jimmy Hammer and Dave Kinnoin
©2019 Sync Track (ASCAP) and Song Wizard Music (ASCAP)
verse one:
I am lost in the jungle without any clues,
Just a whole lotta green and a case of the blues.
Though I try not to panic, it’s easy to see
There’s a bright set of eyes followin’ me.
I stop in my tracks and face the bird
With the craziest song I have ever heard:
chorus:
Awk, awk, eek, eek. Tookie Tookie.
Awk, awk, eek, eek. Tookie Tookie.
Awk, awk, eek, eek. Tookie Tookie.
Is it just me or is the bird a little kooky?
verse two:
There’s a smile in his rhythm, a laugh in his tune,
Such a look of delight on this feathered buffoon.
There’s a strange sense of wonder that moves me along
With a bounce in my step, hummin’ his song.
He flies tree to tree – I stay below.
And I think, “Could it be he knows where to go?”
(repeat chorus – new last line) Feels so good, and maybe just a little spooky.
bridge:
I could have wandered through this jungle
Day and night to no avail.
I know it’s absurd, but I listened to the bird,
And I’m right back on the trail, singin’…
(repeat chorus – new last line)
Is it just me or are we all a little kooky?

Night Light
words and music by Jimmy Hammer and Dave Kinnoin
©2019 Sync Track (ASCAP) and Song Wizard Music (ASCAP)
verse one:
I play a little game before I hit the sack:
I get out all my night lights and make a little stack.
I choose the one I want and plug it in the jack.
I verify it’s workin’ well –
When it may fail is hard to tell,
And so…
verse two:
I have a back-up light that runs on batteries.
It’s waterproof and rugged for all emergencies.
I keep it in my drawer – it helps me get my zees.
It guarantees a happy glow,
And like some other kids I know…
chorus:
I feel so secure when my night light is on.
It keeps away the scary things till darkness is gone.
I know in my heart everything is all right.
No need to fear – my friend is here.
The night light.
The night light, night light.
verse three:
I’m deep inside a dream – it’s dark around my bed.
I grab my extra night light – the batteries are dead.
Now what’s that slimy thing
That’s wrapped around my head?
I wake up, and it’s clear to see
It’s just my puppy licking me.
My night light’s workin.’
(repeat chorus)
verse four:
A monster in the hall is knockin’ on my door.
“Come in, you little bozo, I’ve met your kind before.”
The night light zaps him hard and makes his eyes real sore.
He leaves the room and starts to cry.
I blow the chump a kiss good-bye.

Locomotivation
words and music by Jimmy Hammer and Dave Kinnoin
©2019 Sync Track (ASCAP) and Song Wizard Music (ASCAP)
verse one:
I get off my bike under a tree,
Lie down for a nap, just my dog ‘n’ me.
In the clouds I see an engine,
Some cars, and a caboose.
Then a voice calls, “All aboard!”
And I just let it all run loose.
chorus:
Locomotivation – a railroad extreme,
A fiery desire to blow some steam.
Woo-hoo, clickety-clack,
I ride my train of thought
To dreamland and back.
Locomotivation.
Locomotivation.
verse two:
All the scenery goes by quick
As back down to earth Poochie chews a stick.
In the dining car, I snack on
Cashew nuts and iced green tea.
“Howdy-do?” asks the conductor,
And I reply, “Da-da-dan-dan-dan-deee!”

The afternoon, to smile away?

Cool as a Cucumber

verse one:
I had been cookin’ all day for a party, you see,
And I guess the heat kinda got to me,
So I crawled into the shade of a coconut tree,
And I started to sleep so happily.
Now I’m…
chorus:
Cool as a cucumber,
Beatin’ the heat as I sweetly slumber.
Oh, don’t wake me, just take a number.
I’m cool, cool, cool as a cucumber.
verse two:
It’s such a wonderful break from my kitchen routine.
No papayas to peel, no counter to clean.
I am dreamin’ on the edge of an ocean scene.
Just a little nudge, and I’m a green submarine.
(repeat chorus)
bridge:
What’s that noise?
Sounds like a party.
Oh, my, that’s my party!
Hey, Mr. Sandman, I gotta go.
I hear the band, man,
It’s sounds so…
verse three:
Cool as a cucumber.
I’ll put the smile in this island number.
Rise and shine – there’s no time to slumber.
I’m cool as a cucumber.
I’ll put the smile in this island number.
Rise and shine – there’s no time to slumber.
I’m cool, cool, cool,
Cool, cool, cool as a cucumber.

Look for the Helpers
words and music by Dave Kinnoin
©2019 Song Wizard Music (ASCAP)
verse one:
I know you get scared sometimes.
Sometimes you get sad.
Sometimes you get lonely for
What you wish you had.
Sometimes it seems like
Nothin’ is goin’ as it should.
Some hope can still shine through.
There’s something you can do.
chorus:
Look for the helpers,
The ones who help you
When you need them to.
When you have a problem,
They always care.
Look for the helpers,
And pretty soon they’ll be there.
verse two:
If you see another kid
Who needs someone, too,
And there’s no one else around,
That someone could be you.
Sometimes just listening
Can be the best gift you can give.
Together hearts grow strong,
Remembering this song.
(repeat chorus)
bridge:
There’s always someone
Who wants you to feel better.
