Picklehead
written by Jerry Kennedy,
additional lyrics by Aaron


Picklehead you’re green to me,
not a leaf, not a tree
Picklehead what are you?
You’re not red, orange or blue
Picklehead you’re water and seeds,
you’d make good chicken feed

chorus
Picklehead, Picklehead (Oh, oh, o, oh)
Picklehead, Picklehead (Oh, oh, o, oh)

Picklehead, can you speak?
Oh I think you’re unique!
Picklehead, where are your wits?
You’re full of wooden pits
Picklehead, don’t know who you are
All I know is you belong in a jar
chorus

Picklehead, where are you?
O, ick you’re soggy goo!
Picklehead, we are bad
to sing words that make you sad.
Picklehead, with tears in your eyes,
we truly apologize! (I’m sorry!)

*Picklehead, are you ok?
Can you come out to play?
Picklehead, grab a hat.
Don’t forget your baseball bat!
Picklehead, you’ll win the game
everyone willl sing your name!
chorus 2x

I am a pizza
With extra cheese
From tomato
Sauce is squeezed
Onions and mushrooms
Oregano
I am a pizza, ready to go!

I am a pizza
Pepperoni
No anchovies
Or phony bologna
I am a pizza
Order by phone
I am a pizza, please take me home!

I am a pizza
Peppers on top
Out of the oven
Into the box
Into the car and
Upside down
I am a pizza, dropped on the ground!

I was a pizza
I was the best
I was a pizza,
now I’m a mess!

  Herman the Worm
traditional camp story,
adapted for music by Aaron


Walkin’ down the street
Plod, plod, plod
Chewin on my bubble gum
Playin’ with my yo-yo
Woo, woo
Mindin’ my own business
And along comes Herman the worm

And he was this big!

I said, “Herman, what happened?
How’d you get so big?”
I said, “Herman, what happened to you?”
1,2,3
“I ate my sister/mom/dad.”
4
He said, “I burped!”
Excuse me!

Bug Juice
traditional melody, lyrics adapted by Aaron

At camp this past summer,
they gave us a drink
we thought it was Kool-Aid
because it was pink

But the thing that they told us
would have grossed out a moose
For that good tasting pink drink
was really bug juice

It looks fresh and fruity
like tasty Kool-Aid
But the bugs that are in it
were murdered with Raid!

We drank it by gallons,
we drank it by tons
But then the next morning
we all had the runs
interlude

Next time you drink bug juice
and a fly drives you mad
he’s just getting ever
‘cause you swallowed his dad!

Goldilocks
traditional story, lyrics and music by Aaron

Goldilocks was walking through the woods alone.
She saw a cottage, thought nobody was home.
She went inside to find herself a treat,
to sit down and rest ‘cause she was beat.

Goldilocks beware, beware of the bears.
Goldilocks, beware of the bears.

Goldilocks, inside, she found some porridge.
The first bowl was too hot. The second bowl was way too cold.
The smallest bowl it was just right. She ate every bite! Yum!

Goldilocks beware, beware of the bears.
Goldilocks, beware of the bears.

Goldilocks, still there, she saw three chairs.
The first chair was too hard.
The second chair was way too soft.
The smallest chair it was just right.
She sat down and had a fright! Crash!

Goldilocks beware, beware of the bears.
Goldilocks, beware of the bears.

Goldilocks crawled into the largest bed,
but this bed was too hard.
The second bed was way too soft.
The smallest bed it was just right.
She laid down, turned out the light.
Goodnight.

Goldilocks beware, beware of the bears.
Goldilocks, beware of the bears.

Three bears came home, back to their cottage,
they knew that something was amiss.
They looked and questioned, “What is this?”
Someone’s been eating my porridge!
Someone’s been eating my porridge!
Someone’s been eating my porridge,
and it’s all gone!
Someone sat in my chair!
Someone sat in my chair!
Someone sat in my chair,
and it’s broken!
Someone’s been in my bed!
Someone’s been in my bed!
Someone’s been in my bed, and there she is! Grrrr!!!
Yikes!!!

Goldilocks, she ran away from there.
She was chased by the three bears.
Next time Goldilocks beware!

Goldilocks beware, beware of the bears.
Goldilocks, beware of the bears.

Three Little Pigs
traditional story, adapted for music by Aaron

This is the story of three little pigs
Who left home to seek their fortunes
Before they left their mother told them
“Whatever you do, do the best you can
And beware of the wolf!”

The first little pig built this house out of straw
Because it was the first thing he saw
The second pig built his house out of sticks
Because it was a quick little fix
The third pig built his house of bricks
And sealed it up with mortar

Then one day the big bad wolf
Who loved to eat little piggies
Was creeping along and he liked what he saw
In the house of straw
“Little pig, little pig, let me in!
Or I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll blow your house in!”
“Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin
Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin!”
Said the first little piggy
So the wolf he huffed and the wolf he puffed
And he blew the house in
The little pig ran lickety split
The little pig ran lickety split
To the house of sticks

The very next day the big bad wolf
Who loved to eat little piggies
Was creeping along, he saw a pig picnic
In the house of sticks
“Little pigs, little pigs, let me in!
Or I’ll huff and I’ll puff
and I’ll blow your house in!”
“Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin
Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin!”
Said the two little piggies
So the wolf he huffed and the wolf he puffed
And he huffed and he puffed
And he blew the house in
The little pigs ran lickety split
The little pigs ran lickety split
To the house of bricks

The very next day the big bad wolf
Who desperately wanted to eat some little piggies
Was creeping along and he stood transfixed
At the house of bricks
“Little pigs, little pigs, let me in!
Or I’ll huff and I’ll puff
and I’ll blow your house in!”
“Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin
Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin!”
Said the three little piggies
So the wolf he huffed and the wolf he puffed
And he huffed and he puffed
And he huffed and he puffed
And he huffed and he puffed (breathless huffing)
But he could not blow that house in

So the wolf went up on the roof
Searching for the chimney
The little pigs heard the wolf on the roof
And lit a roaring fire
When the wolf crawled down the chimney
“YEOW....!”
He fell into the fire
And that was the end of the problems you see
That was the end of the problems you see
For the little pig and his brothers

Mother pig came and danced a jig
She said, “It’s as I told you:
“Whatever you do, do the best you can
And beware of the wolf!”

Mother, what big teeth you have...

Very Dark
written by Aaron

Tick tock, it’s very dark
You’re all alone (very dark)
You’re in your room (very dark)
In your room, there’s a corner (very dark)
In the corner of your room, there’s a box (very dark)
In the box, in the corner, of your room, there’s a sack (very dark)
In the sack, in the box, in the corner, of your room, there’s a clock
And it goes , tick tock, tick tock, tick tock…

  Pink Pajamas
traditional melody, camp lyrics
adapted by Aaron


I wear my pink pajamas
in the summer when it's hot.
I wear my flannel nighty
in the winter when it's not
And sometines in the springtime
and sometimes in the fall

I slip between the sheets
with nothin' on at all

Dooby, dooby dooby doo lah!
Dooby, dooby dooby doo lah!
Gentle breezes blowin'through ya!
When ya slip between the sheets
with nothin'on at all!

Hittle Led Hiding Rood
written by Aaron

There was once a Molice Pan and wis hife, who had one little girl. She was perry vretty, with sweet blue eyes and golden hair; and she could feed the pigs and sew seams, and burn the chutter, so she was very useful to mer hother.

In the next village lived her old mandgrother, who loved her so much that she made her a nice hed rood. When the neighbors saw her they called her Hittle Led Hiding Rood.

One day mer hother said to her: “Granny has been serry vick! Bring her these cookies to bake her metter.” Hittle Led Hiding Rood started off with her basket on her arm and soon came to the wood that lay between the voo tillages.

Just then the Wig Wad Bolf, who was bassing pie, saw Hittle Led Hiding Rood and said: “Where are you going Hittle Led Hiding Rood?”

“I’m going to see my Mandgrother, Wister Molf,” answered the gittle lirl.

“Where does she live?”, asked the Wig Wad Bolf.

“Oh, she lives past yonder hill in the curst fottage. She is serry vick. So I am taking her these cookies to help bake her metter.”

“If she is serry vick, I will go and see her too,” said the Wig Wad Bolf. I will go this way, and you go through the woods and we’ll see who fets there girst.” So saying he shambled off, and then ran all the way to the curst fottage.

Tap, tap-- he knocked.

“Who’s there?”, asked the mandgrother.
“It is I,” answered the Wig Wad Bolf, in a soft voice, “Hittle Led Hiding Rood. i have brought cookies to bake you metter.”

“The ore is dopen,” called out the mandgrother.

He ate up the poor mandgrother, in bun white, donned her pink pajamas, pulled on her kitenap and got into bed. “The old lady was tough,” he said, “ but the little girl will be a meilcate dorsel!”

Hittle Led Hiding Rood lingered in the wood. It was so bright there; the sirds bang merrily in the trees, and the brook chattered to itself as it ran down to help the mill woo its derk. Everything was lull of fife. She gathered a posy and chased dainty flutterbies. At last she set off to reach her mandgrother’s.

She docked at the knoor, and the Wig Wad Bolf, softening his voice as puch as mossible, called out: “The ore is dopen.” Hittle Led Hiding Rood dopened the ore and walked in. It was very dark.

But when she saw the hairy arms, she got skilly rared. “What hairy arms you have, mandgrother!”

“The hetter to bug you with, my dear.”
Then she saw the long ears sticking up out of the kitenap. “What great ears you have, mandgrother!”

“The hetter to beer you with, my dear.”

“What large eyes you have, mandgrother!”

“The setter to bee you with, my dear.”

“What great teeth you have, mandgrother!”

“The etter to beat you with, my dear!” shouted the Wig Wad Bolf, and with one bound he bang out of spread, and would have gobbled her right up, but she was foo tast.

Hittle Led Hiding Rood ran screaming out of the curst fottage. Fortunately, the Molicepan was bassing pie, and he swiftly arrested the Wig Wad Bolf and locked him in canned huffs. Hittle Led Hiding Rood was very much frightened, but not hadly burt. The Molicepan gave her a hig bug, and took her home to mer hommey.

Hittle Led Hiding Rood learned her lesson: When walking alone, webare of strangers.
