Today is the day that our class sets away
On a super sweet adventure
One like I never imagined I'd go on before
Last fall we picked pumpkins, in spring we toured tulips
Great trips, no cause for alarm
Today is the day that we pack up and head to the
MARSHMALLOW FARM!

CHORUS: Marshmallow Farm oh whoa oh I wanna I wanna go

We pull off the road, we can't wait to unload
And spy the spectacular sight
Hundreds, no thousands of gigantic marshmallows
Arranged in brilliant white
Up into wagons piled with hay we bump and we bounce, it's such fun
In a minute or two, our hands frozen and blue
We arrive in the field and all run

Folks say money doesn't grow on trees
And there's no such thing as wonderbees
And a marshmallow farm is all fluff
But I just can't get enough. I want s'more!

There's a little octopus that lives beneath the ocean blue
When his friends get sad, he knows just what to do
He could lend an arm and that would feel pretty great
But he loves to tell a knock knock joke or two
He's a knock knock knock knock knock knock knocktopus

He's the class clown, loves to fool around
And add some goofing to each day
He's never out to hurt no one, being silly's just his way
Pick you up when you're down, make a smile from a frown
Whenever you're feeling blue
The knocktopus knows not to fuss, and has got some jokes for you

Knock, knock: Who's there?
Boo! Boo-hoo?
Oh, don't cry it's just a knock knock joke

Knock, knock: Who's there?
Tacoma! Tacoma who?
You got Tacoma your hair it's such a mess!

Knock knock: Who's there?
Topeka! Topeka who?
Topeka your nose or not topeka your nose, that is the question!

Knock knock: Who's there?
Banana! Banana who?...
Orange! Orange who?
Orange you glad I didn't say Banana?

I've got shoes for everyday wearing
I've got an old pair of soccer cleats too
I've got crocs, flip-flops, I've got black high tops
But I'm looking for something new… how 'bout you?

New Shoes

It feels so bittersweet heading out the shoe store door
With a new pair that's shiny and squeaky clean
And the old ones I wont wear anymore

Old shoes can be new ones, just head over to the thrift store
I just corralled a great pair of cowboy boots
Someone didn't need anymore
Now I'm gonna stomp all over the floor

And now it's time for the Velcro solo

CHORUS: Ay ay ay
Los icepacks Están ardiendo
Icepacks are cool so get them while they're hot
You can't protect yourself from every bump and bruise
And the one thing you can't refuse
To take away your pain and all your blues

CHORUS

Just the other day My sister fell
I hurried right away
On my tippy-toes for a pack Mom froze
To take away your woes with no delay

In a world,
Where a young boy or a young girl Falls off the swing on the playground There is… icepack.
One boy or one girl with one injury And one nice friend on the playground To take them inside and get the icepack

CHORUS: Little insects crawling everywhere. Eww!
It ain't no crying shame to have bugs on you

I've seen you scratchin', I've seen you itch
You want to crawl way down in a ditch
Just the name makes calm people twitch
It seems so hair-raising
But your brother, cousin, your next door neighbor, the red-headed kid from soccer-all of them had lice too

It ain't no thing when lice land on you
There's no need for a new hairdo
Just grab a comb and tea tree shampoo
It seems so hair-raising
But your brother, cousin, your next door neighbor, the red-headed kid from soccer-all of them had lice too

Maybe you've had them, or maybe you haven't, but the lice are coming… GENERAL LOUSE!

Secret Agent Watch
Well it's the coolest thing I ever got, My secret agent watch

Saw it on the back of a box of oat crispies
For six dollars and some change and eighteen UPCs
Emptied my piggy bank, set the table every day
I earned enough, mom signed the form, and set it on its way

Secret Agent Watch (ooh I really want it)

When I got home from school I raced to look and see
Reached inside the mailbox
There was nothing there for me-nothing there for me
Twenty-seven weeks passed without a watch
But finally the day arrived it really was top notch

And I took the package up to my room and opened it up…
It was amazing! It's my secret agent watch!
Oh yeah the thing tells time, it's got a compass too, it's got a grappling hook, now I'm invisible, I fly around around the room,

It can make me big, It can make me small I'm so small! I'm gonna go under the couch Whoa! It's pretty cool down here. Oh well, I'm gonna be normal size again Where's that button? I can't find it! Mom!

CHORUS: Centipede Pirate Yo Ho!
Twenty-nine sea legs wants to make a hundred with pegs

The Centipede Pirate of the seven seas
A vain arthropod who shot vemon with ease
This swashbuckler's dream, a cool fifty pair
So he ordered his crew to find the legs that weren't there

Avast you termite sprogs! I be wantin' a new bounty! One hundred legs!

CHORUS

At the next port late, late at night
The crew went ashore and did something not right
The termites gnawed legs off every table and chair
The people awoke to a sight so unfair

The Centipede surveyed his booty, "Twenty-nine real legs plus seventy wooden peg legs equals… Ninety-nine? You failed me!"

And with the plunder a blunder, the Centipede Pirate ordered the first mate termite to walk the plank. At that moment a great mutiny began and the termites rose up to make a meal of the captain's peg legs.

Termites whittled each leg the best they could chew
The ungrateful Captain was very askew
His pegs were mere toothpicks, the termites all roared
The captain he wobbled and fell overboard
