Happy Flag Day, everyone.
I wanna be a fireman
In a hook and ladder truck
Saving all the buildings
When a fire has struck
I wanna be a fireman
Doing all I can
That's what I want to be
When I grow up to be a man
A merry Christmas: Skylar, Grayson, Madison, Nathan, Morgan, Braden, and Kendall
Around the world: Autumn, Noah, Amelia, and Garrett
A day at the zoo: Addison, Dylan, Madelyn, Ben, Olivia, and Landon
Learning about jobs: Amber, Jackson, and Lauren
Does anyone else remember a different version of Rockin Robin? I do, I remember in elementary school playing a game with a friend with our hands where it was mostly clapping our hands together in a rhythm to the rhyme, but the lyrics I, but the lyrics are different with only some similarities.
This is what I mostly remember.
Swing, swing, swing (where we locked pinky fingers and moved them in a swing fashion)
Rock steady treetops all day long (this is where we started clapping the other person's hand [right to right/left to left] between each clap between friends I/them would clap/join our hands together)
Huffing and a puffing and uh sing that song
All the little birds on jaybird's tree love to hear the birds go
Tweet, tweet, tweet (on this line only we clapped at the same time each other's mirrored hands 3 times)
Rockin robin tweet tweetle
Rockin robin tweet tweetle
Moma's in the kitchen cooking fried chicken
Dad's in bed halfway dead
Sister's a school acting like a fool
Brother's in jail drinking ginger ale
Rockin robin tweet tweetle
Rockin robin tweet tweetle
Though, I remember a version slightly different, after the Tweet, tweet, tweet part but I don't remember the differences.
What month in 1997 were the videos, I Can Dance! and I Can Do It! filmed?
How's this DVD (ABCs Sing-A-Long) even stranger than this home video/TV show (Kidsongs)?

Here in this tropical paradise if you want to relax then take my advice, Get in tune with the tropical groove, Sit in the sun there's no need to move. Don't hurry, to worry, problems come all day. (Part 1 repeated 3x), give them time to go away
Don't want to bother, run away from the lava
If it do what it aught to go straight in the water, It ruined your day maybe go the wrong way, but you know it may go right
No need to be safe from the big tidal wave, If it splash on the shore,
We'll be begging no more It ruined your day maybe go the wrong way, but you know it may go right
(Chorus)
Don't worry your brain 'bout the old hurricane, what ever blows in can blow out again.
It ruined your day maybe go the wrong way, but you know it may go right
Don't shiver and shake about the big earthquake, it's only the ground dancing around. It ruined your day maybe go the wrong way, but you know it might go right
(Chorus)
Don't worry to later about Mr. Gator, If he's looking for lunch, he'll be full after Munch. It ruined your day maybe go the wrong way, but you know it may go right
Don't wanna bother and run away from the lava. No need to be safe from the big tidal wave.
Don't worry your brain about old hurricane, shiver and shake 'bout a little earthquake, don't worry to later about Mr. Gator, don't hurry to worry at all.
(Chorus)
Munch: Chuck E. Cheese, you are the best
Helen: You are different from the rest The kids love you because you're true
Munch: When we sing with you, it's keen

Every Boy Every Girl should be on Kidsongs on May 17, 2027 for CHUCK E. CHEESE'S 50th Anniversary. Here is the 1997 lyrics
Now life is like a scrapbook
Memories on every page
You look back with laughter
And you never feel your age
Now I've been thinking lately
About 20 years ago
And what brought us together
For this very special show
I left my home so long ago
Waved goodbye to my folks
Went to every club across New York
With cheesy songs and jokes
And then I did a show for kids
And man, did we have fun?
That was the day that changed my life
My dream had just begun
All:
Every boy, every girl
Every kid around the world
Should have a place to laugh and sing and play
Kids can do what they please
When they come to Chuck E. Cheese
They'll be rockin' here tomorrow
Like they're rockin' here today
20 years can this be true
I guess it has to be
I sold pizza door to door, when Chuck E. came to me
He said, "I need a master chef, who could sing a song"
I sang out operatically, I want to come along
Someone said "Go west, young mouse,"
And that's where we went
Off to California, though we hardly had a set
We found a place that was falling down
It was quite a site to see
It needed work, but we didn't care
We knew what it could be
All: Every boy, every girl
Every kid around the world
Should have a place to laugh and sing and play
Kids can do what they please
When they come to Chuck E. Cheese
They'll be rockin' here tomorrow
Like they're rockin' here today
When the place was all fixed up
I came running through the door
My oh my, the pizza pie was I was looking for
Now Chuck made me a talent scout
As I travelled across the land
To find 2 more musicians
To fill his all-star band.
I was just a country dog with a cabin in the woods
Playing a guitar willowed out of the log and the job sure sounded good
I was a singer with just my wings
Barely out of the nest
when I joined up with Chuck E. Cheese
I knew I found the best
The Stage was set, the lights came down
And up the curtain flew
That show went great 20 years ago, and all the rest have too
And the kids who came to see us
Now have children of their own
It's like we're all a family
And this is still your home
All: Every boy, every girl
Every kid around the world
Should have a place to laugh and sing and play
Kids can do what they please
When they come to Chuck E. Cheese
We'll be rocking here tomorrow like we're rocking here today.
Now life is like a scrapbook
Memories on every page
You look back with laughter
And you'll never feel your age
Now I've been thinking lately, about all the things we did
And we'll still be here in 20 years 'cause kids will still be kids!
(Chorus 2)
Every boy, every girl
Every kid around the world
Should have a place to laugh and sing and play
Now the kids are having fun
But we've only just begun,
We'll be rocking here tomorrow like we're rocking here today. (3x)
