Knocking on the Door
Lyrics

2. Monster—Do you hear, what I hear?…Do you hear that scary noise out there?…Is it a monster coming after me?…I'm not going to hang around and see… I'm going to run, to my mother's arms, I know that she will keep me from harm.…Is it a monster, I hear out there?…Oh no it's just a dog barking in the night that I hear that's making me scared.

3. Ants—1. Troupe of ants, marching across the floor, they came in the house, but they didn't use the door…They come in three parts with six little legs… Now they're comin' over to eat my scrambled eggs…chorus: Those black little ants, black little ants, black little ants in their Sunday pants…2. Walkin' up the side of the honey jar, I wish they'd go away, away so far. (ch)

4. Lady Bug—Lady, Lady, Lady, Lady, Lady, Lady, Lady, Lady, Bug (2x)…I like it when you crawl across my hand, I like it when on me you land…chorus: Lady, Lady, Lady, Lady, Lady, Lady, Lady, Lady, Bug (3x)…No, No, No, No, No, etc…Please, please don't go (2x)…Cuz I like, it when, you crawl across my toes, and I like, it when, you land on my nose.

5. Caterpillar—Caterpillar crawls (3x) across a leaf (2x)…Caterpillar spins (3x) her silky cacoon (2x)…Caterpillar dreams (3x) inside her cocoon (2x)…Butterfly awakes (3x) from her dream (2x)…Butterfly flies (3x) away away (3x)

6. Polliwog—I found a polliwog in a pond and I scooped her up and I brought her home…I put her in some water in a bowl, I wanted to keep her for my own…A few days later she grew some legs, and her tail disappeared and she hopped away… Cuz she's a frog now, yes she's a frog now, she surprised me and hopped away. (2x)…Hopped away.

7. Bodies—1. Boys have different bodies than girls you see and every body's different as different as can be…chorus: Some are big and some are little, at the top and the bottom, and in the middle…Bodies are made, oh so fine, take care of yours and it will last a long time, take care of your and it will last a long time.…2. Even tho bodies are different indeed, we all have the parts that we need (ch)…3. Bodies come in different colors, every body is, one or another.(ch)

Chorus: Banana, banana, banana slug, are you an animal or are you a bug?…Banana, banana, banana slug, are you an animal or are you a bug? 2. I knelt down to see what I could see, hey slug, what do you want with me?…Well can I pick you up just to see how you feel, in your bright yellow jacket, you hardly seem real (ch)…3. How do you move across the ground, I don't see any legs to carry you around…I see muscles in your belly that move you up and down, those muscles in your belly must move you across the ground (ch)…4. I must be on my way, it's been nice spending time…Just one more question, how do you make that slime? (ch)

12. I’m the only one of me—I’m the only one of me, I’m the only one of me,…la, la, la, etc.…I’m the only one of me

There's a cloud in the sky, passing us by…Hanging in the trees, blowing in the breeze…She wants to come down, so she rains all around…To the ground, the ground, she rains to the ground…2.She gathers herself into a river, and flows away to the sea…She has to go down so she flows all around…to the sea, the sea, she flows to the sea…3. And the sun warms down, to the water…Come rIse with me to the sky…So she rises slowly, to the sky…To be a cloud, a cloud, once again…4. There's a boy/girl on the ground and he/she wants to rise…To the cloud in the sky passing him/her by…So he/she grabs a hold of a bird flying by…And they fly, they fly to the sky…To the cloud in the sky, passing us by, hanging in the trees, blowing with the breeze.

21. Skeeters—Well I got skeeter bites on my legs and arms and skeeter bites on my toes…I even got a skeeter bite on the tip of my nose…Oh I layed myself down by a cool Mt. stream, thought I'd get cozy, and have a sweet dream…But the skeeters came by and by…Around and around me they did fly…I hid in my sleeping bag but they came after me…Those rude little mosquitos, they wouldn't let me be…So, now, I got, skeeter bites on my legs and arms and skeeter bites on my toes…I even got a skeeter bite on the tip of my nose…Oh I layed myself down by a cool Mt. stream, thought I'd get cozy but that was just a dream.
