Goin' To The Beach

Joanie Calem
Lyrics: 

Oh we’re going, oh we’re going to the beach today,
It’s finally time to be on our way.
I can’t wait to play in the water
Splashing like a silly, old otter.

It’s a long, long trip and we’re almost there,
The sea breeze is starting to blow through my hair,
Once we park the car it’s still a long way to go,
And the sand is so hot on my toes.

Ouch, ouch, ouch, it’s burning my feet,
Slip my sandles on, oh that feels sweet,
We’ve got to walk but we’re almost there,
How I love, the salty, sea air.

Oh we’re standing on the top of a dune hill,
Looking down at the waves, how they sparkle and thrill.
Now I’m running I can’t wait anymore,
We’re finally here, at the sea shore.
We’re finally here, at the sea shore!

Description: 

This song is available on Joanie Calem's Dancing Through the Seasons

     This CD includes 19 tracks, which takes a musical trip through the four seasons of the year. Twelve of the CD's songs are original, and seven are traditional folk songs with new lyrics.
All the songs have been "kid-tested" with children from ages 6 months to 8 years. The songs encourage children to sing, dance, and pretend. This CD is Joanie's solo performance, with Joanie singing all vocals, playing guitar, xylophone, and percussion instruments.

About the Artist: 

I am a musician, singer/songwriter and teacher. I grew up in a family that loved to sing. Long car-trips were filled with hours of singing of old folk, union, civil -rights and peace songs. As a teenager, I went overseas for a year abroad, and 22 years later, moved back to the United States! During that extended “year,” I learned to sing Israeli folk songs, and dance to Palestinian drums and Egyptian violins.

When I began teaching music, I realized that asking children to sit still went against their natural inclination to move. I discovered children learn and appreciate the music better when they are allowed to move.

When my children were born, I realized that before children can sing, they dance, moving their whole bodies, with eyes shining the lyrics instead of singing them! This collection of songs is dedicated to the hundreds of children who have danced their way through the seasons with me over the past number of years!

A special thanks to my husband and children………who put up with my glazed eyes and guitar and piano pounding when I am hatching a new song in my head!

Lyrics: 

I can stamp my feet, (echo),
I can wriggle my thumb, (echo),
I can pat my cheeks, (echo),
I can rub my tum, (echo),
I can reach up high, (echo),
I can clap my hands, (echo),
I can wink one eye, (echo),
And do the fancy dance, (echo).
Fancy dance wriggle,
Fancy dance move,
Fancy dance squiggle,
Fancy dance groove,
Wriggle from the bottom,
Wriggle to the top,
Fancy dance wriggle and
Fancy dance stop!

Action songs, creative and set movement, instrumental activities and fun songs. The Teacher's Manual has easy to follow teacher's notes that are cross-referenced to stages of children's development.

About the Artist: 

Wendy Jensen and Janet Channon have created, developed, and run this successful business for the last 20 years.

Year after year Janet and Wendy see the positive contribution music and movement makes to a young child's growth and development; mentally, physically, socially and emotionally. Seeing the positive results for themselves and hearing comments from parents, has encouraged Janet and Wendy to continue to write and record more original resources for children. Adults who share these musical experiences with their children see first hand how easily children learn when they are having fun.

Knowing young children learn best through experience, Janet and Wendy advocate the Orff style of teaching. This was developed by Carl Orff in the 1930's and is now well respected around the world in the field of music education. From a wealth of teaching experience and course work with Orff practitioners from around the world Janet and Wendy have carried these whole-body whole-brain principals into their song writing.

Creating musical songs and activities that support multi sensory learning and subsequent brain growth has added a whole new dimension to their song writing. This extra dimension puts them apart from most other children's music.

Wendy and Janet have been writing, recording and workshopping their original material for the past 11 years. Every song is written for a specific teaching purpose. They have run countless workshops for parents, teachers and teacher training institutions in New Zealand, Australia, Singapore and the United Kingdom.

Kids Music Company resources are sold and enjoyed around the world.

Both Wendy and Janet are committed to ongoing professional development and regularly attend conferences and workshops in Australia and NZ.

Lyrics: 

Your Friend
(By Lanny Sherwin)

Verse 1: If you want to know what’s as good as gold,
It’s a friend.
When your day has been cruddy, there’s nothing like a buddy
Who’s your friend.

Verse 2: When you do something foolish, who still thinks you’re coolish?
Your friend.
And even if you’re kinda bossy, who’s still part of your posse?
It’s your friend.

Chorus: He’ll stand by you and keep you strong.
He’ll stand up to you when you’re wrong –
That’s being a friend.

Verse 3: When you learn to ride your bike, who’s there with a high-five?
Your friend.
And when your hamster dies, who hugs you when you cry?
Your friend.

Chorus 2: He sees you with his heart, not just his eyes – that’s the art
Of being a friend.

Bridge: Now you won’t always agree, that’s just how it’s gonna be with friends.
It’s give and it’s take, and forgiving mistakes,
Then you learn to bend, and then …

Chorus 3: You’ll see with your heart, not just your eyes – that’s the start
Of being a friend.

Tag: You’re learning to be a friend.
It’s good to have a good friend.

Lyrics: 

Don’t Squash That Bug!
(By Lanny Sherwin)

Verse 1: Most bugs aren’t cute
And they can bite, that’s true,
And they may be a pain and annoying,
But, hey, so can me and you.
They may be slimy and kinda grimy
But they’re awful special to me.
So before you stomp him flat,
There’s a favor I must ask:

Chorus: Don’t squash that bug, hand me the net.
If you were a bug, you wouldn’t wanna be stepped on, I bet.
Don’t give him a scar, let’s keep him in a jar,
He’d make the greatest pet,
Don’t squash that bug – hand me the net.

Verse 2: Maybe I lived in a hive
In a previous life.
You may think it’s a defect,
But I love all kinds of insects.
Just remember each bug you see
Probably has a 1,000 member family,
So for goodness sake, don’t turn him into a pancake.

Chorus

Bridge: I love to watch their antennae wave, and try to count all their legs,
And I think roaches rule, and caterpillars are cool,
And the beetles are so fab
They make me go “Yeah, yeah, yeah!”

Chorus

If you were a bug, you wouldn't want to be stepped on, I bet!

Lyrics: 

THAT’S THE WAY THE WEATHER IS
(By Lanny Sherwin)

Verse 1: Thunderstorms, lightening bolts,
Hurricanes frightening folks.
Then comes the sun, and it’s picnic time.
The weather won’t make up its mind, but

Chorus: That’s the way the weather is, nothing you can do,
One day it’s gray, the next day it’s blue.
Everything about it is a mystery.
That’s the way the weather is – naturally.

Verse 2: Ninety-nine degrees brings on a drought,
Then comes the rain, and you get flooded out.
It’s horrible, it’s beautiful,
It’s 100% chance of unpredictable.

Chorus

Bridge: It does no good to fret and fuss,
At least when it rains, it’s good for the ducks.
No one knows what the weather’s gonna bring,
That’s just Mother Nature doing her thing.

Chorus

Lyrics: 

Everyone Is Different
(By Lanny Sherwin)

Verse 1: We’re all different colors, we wear different clothes,
We speak differently from different zip codes.
We’re short, we’re tall, we’re fat, we’re thin,
We’re square pegs in round holes just trying to fit in.

Chorus: Everyone is different, it’s really no big thing,
It’s the differences between us that make life interesting.
Those little quirks that make us work are Heaven-sent,
So give a little thanks
That we’re all different.

Verse 2: We’re wise, we’re weird, we’re cool, we’re geeks,
We’re pieces of a puzzle – strangely unique.
But put us together and what do you see?
The world is our home, and we’re one big family.

Chorus: Everyone is different, it’s really no big thing,
It’s the differences between us that make life interesting.
Those little quirks that make us work are Heaven-sent,
So give a little thanks
That we’re all different.

Lyrics: 

Let’s Hear it for the Little Guy
(By Lanny Sherwin)

Verse 1: Every scientist knows
When you look real close
At anything, you’ll find
Something smaller inside.
They’re little things called atoms,
In science class you’ll look at ‘em,
The smallest things there are,
Microscopic superstars.

CH: Let’s hear it for the Little Guy,
He’s got a job that’s a mile high.
You can’t see him with the naked eye,
But without him there would be no Life.
Under the microscope he’s the King,
The building block of everything.
Atoms are cool, and that’s no lie,
Let’s hear it for the Little Guy!

Verse 2: Atoms bond together
Just like Legos, only better.
They make up everything there is
Like bikes, chocolate, and guitarists (heh, heh!)
So if you’re feeling small
It’s no big deal at all.
Just learn a lesson from the atom,
It’s not the size, it’s the go-go-get-um.

Chorus

Br: Protons, neutrons, electrons –
It’ so amazing to me
That the biggest things in the whole wide world
Are made up of things that you can’t even see.
