Brother for Sale 3:04
Well, we think this world
Is a real nice place
But we think that it's a crime
That we should have an older brother
Who picks on us all the time
So, next time he's sleeping in his room
We're goin' to sneak in and tie him
Then we'll talk him out into the street
And see if someone will buy him

Chorus: Brother for sale Only fifty cents Brother for sale He's not a big expense You can hug him You can bug him You could buy or rent Brother for sale, Only fifty cents

Hey, would anybody like to buy A slightly used big brother? Even if you have one now Trade him for another

He will help you with the chores And he's fairly clean The only problem is, sometimes He can be so mean!

Chorus Brother for sale Twenty Five Cents...etc

If mom knew we were selling him We would really get it Buy him now, don't pay 'til June On approved credit Buy him now, and we'll tell you What we will do, mister We'll even throw into the deal Our little baby sister

Chorus: Brother for sale Only ten cents...etc

He will always pick you up When you take a fall And he's good at showing you How to catch a ball He always tells these funny jokes And does this crazy dance Hey, wait! He sounds like a pretty nice guy... Let's give him one more chance

Our brother's not for sale Not for any price Our brother's not for sale We guess he will suffice We like to hug him We like to bug him He's really rather nice Our brother's not for sale Not for any price!


Gonna' Stay in the Bathtub ('Til the Soap Disappears) 2:51
Mary-Kate: Hey, Ash! There's water dripping from the ceiling!
  Right into my cereal.
Ashley: It must be our brother.  He's upstairs taking a bath.
Mary-Kate: I told you we should have sold him.

Bring on the clowns Bring on the boats Bring on the soap, make sure that it floats Bring me my bubble bath, strawberry, please Bring me some sandwiches, ice cream and cheese I don't know how long this could go!

Chorus: I'm gonna stay in the bathtub 'till the soap disappears Stay 'till I'm wrinkled clean up to my ears It may be for weeks and it may be for years Gonna stay in the bath tub 'till the soap disappears

Something to wash with and something to scrub Something to rubba and something to dub Three plastic bottles, a one gallon pail My blue rubber ducky, my green blubber whale And now I'll step into the tub!

Chorus

Wait, I'm not ready-I nearly forgot I'm here in the bath but the water is not I just can't believe it I just have to laugh But at least it isn't too hot

Desperate For a Dog3:07
Mom and Dad
Can't you see we're sad?
Pining away for a canine
Wow is me
Oh the misery
We'd like a dog
We lack a dog
Alas!  Alack-a-dee!

Chorus: Desperate Desperate for a dog We're just desperate for a dog! Give us a puppy! Not a gerbil or a frog We're just desperate for a dog! Give us a pooch!

Desperate Desperate for a dog We're just desperate for a dog!

We've asked you politely For a year or two You always say we'll see about it Then you never do Our friends all have got dogs How do you thing we feel? What's the big deal? A collie or a dalmatian A poodle or an Alsatian Maltese, Pekinese Please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please!

Chorus

It's no big thing Any mutt will do Let's trot to the pound, pick out a hound Find a shoe for him to chew

Chorus


Hugged By You 2:30
Sometimes when the rain falls
Or when I'm feeling, really sad
Or if I get lonely
Or if I've behaved real bad

Chorus: I'll get hugged by you I'll feel better Through and through 'Cause I've been hugged by you I wish you knew How much I love being hugged by you

Sometimes when I've fallen Scraped my knee and bruised my pride In the distance you'll be calling And running' by my side

Chorus

I've been hugged by you I wish you knew How much I love being hugged by you How much I love being hugged by you.


The New Kid 3:58
There once was kid
Who moved to the block
From down around the bend
He was a lonely new kid
And the new kid needed a friend

One day a boy on a bike rode by The new kid waved and shouted "Hi! Hi! I'm the new kid Would you be my friend?"

But...the boy on the bike said "No indeed! I've got all the friends I need! However...I know a girl in gold Who's very friendly, I'm told"

So, off they set on a little hike The new kid and the boy on the bike To find a friend for the new kid 'Cause the new kid needed a friend!

When they came to the girl in gold The new kid tried to be very bold "Hi! I'm the new kid Would you be my friend?"

But...the girl in gold said "Eeww,eeww I hate boys and that means you!...etc. However...I know a tiny tyke You would be someone she'd like"

So, the girl in gold and the boy on the bike And the new kid all set off on a hike To find a friend for the new kid 'Cause the new kid needed a friend!

They found the tyke sitting in her crib Dribbling Gerbers down her bib "Hi! I'm the new kid Would you be my friend?"

But...they ting tyke said "Waa, waa! Waa, waa, waa, waa, waa, waa!...etc. I know a dopey dog He'd make friends with a log!"

So the tiny tyke and the girl in gold And the boy on the bike and the new kid All set off on a hike To find a friend for the new kid 'Cause the new kid needed a friend!

To find the dog was not too hard He was burying bones in a neighbor's yard "Hi! I'm the new kid Would you be my friend?"

But...the dopey dog said "Ruff, ruff! Rauaaughf, ruf! ruf! ruf!"...etc And so the new kid hung his head And very sadly said, "If I can't make friends with a friendly pup I might as well give up!"

Weeks went by and his birthday came And he still didn't have a friend to his name When school was over home he trudged And he started to cry and his face got smudged And he opened the door.. And he rubbed his eyes... And he heard a roar..."SURPRISE!"

Happy birthday new kid From all your very new friends! From the dopey dog and the tiny tyke And the girl in gold and the boy on the bike Now, every one of them was his friend Things take time... The end!

I Can't Hear My Parents Call2:39
Mother: Mary-Kate!
Ashley: Mom's calling.
Mary-Kate: Really?  I don't hear anything.
Mother: Time to brush your teeth!
Ashley: You're right.  I don't hear anything either.

I hear caterpillars crawling' Through the grass so late at night I hear the earth worms wiggling' In the early morning light

I can hear grasshoppers walking' On their feet so light and small But not matter what I'm doing' I can't hear my parents call

Chorus: I can't hear my parents call Though they call out loud and clear They can shout until they're hoarse It will never reach my ears If they're shouting' in the summer If they're screaming' in the fall Any season, any reason I can't hear my parents call

I can always hear the secrets That my parents try to keep I can hear them late at night When they thing that I'm asleep When they're whispering' in the basement I can hear them in the hall But when they want to get me I can't hear my parents call

Chorus

They took me to the doctor She wired up my ears I heard the softest sound That anyone could hear

She gave me a certificate It's hanging on my wall It says my ears are great I just can't hear my parents call

Chorus (2 times)


Identical Twins 2:37
Hello!
We're twins, we're twins, yes sir
I am me she is she
Except when I pretend I'm her

And when we switch You can't tell which is which You don't know who you're talking to Because we're identical, 'dentical, 'dentical, identical twins!

We look a lot alike But we are not alike I'm loud!...I'm quiet She's serious...she's a riot We're totally, totally Different, different Identical twins!

We read different stories We watch different shows In our slightly different colored hair We wear different bows

We dance to different music We laugh at different jokes Gosh, gosh It's like we're...two different folks

Though we appear alike We're nowhere near alike She's sweet...she's saucy What's that mean? You're bossy Says you...it's true Is not!...Is too!

We're totally, totally Different, different Identical twins!

I am not a xerox I am not a clone A duplicate, a copycat A second scoop...on the ice cream cone

Friends, pals, partners, chums But we're marching to different drums

We look a lot alike But we are not alike Two...two, totally...totally, utterly...utterly Opposite...opposite, totally...totally, different...different Identical twins!

Twins, twins...etc.

Two...two, totally...opposite, utterly...different Opposite...utterly, totally...opposite, different...totally Identical twins!

Identical twins! Deedle-leedle-lee, dum!


Show and Tell 3:39
Ashley: Yeah, yeah, Bob.  That should do it.
Mary-Kate: Who was on the phone so early in the morning?
Ashley: Our friend, Bob.  He wanted to know the best way to pretend he's sick.
Mary-Kate: How come?
Ashley: First grade.  he can't take the pressure.

It's Sunday night and tomorrow is the day I'll sit down in the circle and Miss Cunningham will say... "Who's brought something special, who would like to share?" I'd rather eat raw spinach than be there!

Show and Tell, I just can't take it Show and Tell, I'll never make it Everybody brings such interesting things But not me

Show and Tell, I'm gonna flunk it! Show and Tell, I've always stunk at Finding something cool To show the other kids at school

Like Jennifer brought a sea shell Jessica showed her snake Justin brought his new little brother A real live baby, give me a break! Nicholas had a fossil And Natalie had a skull I looked on my shelf and said to myself "Dull, dull, dull!"

Show and Tell, the others love it He gets hives, just thinking of it Anything I choose Is sure to be a total snooze

Once I brought a marble, A really pretty marble The kids said "Look...a marble..." I thought I was gonna die

A Show and Tell day victim But Mondays, now, I've licked them I stand on two feet and tell a complete Lie, lie, lie!

Like Show and Tell-oops, I forgot mine! Show and Tell-a hunter shot mine! Lost it on the way-Is it Show and Tell Today? Ahh gee!

Show and Tell-a freight train hit mine! Show and Tell-a pitbull bit mine! Had it in my hand-I just don't understand, where did it go?

Show and Tell-has lit a fire In the heart of this little liar-I didn't know it could fly, Mrs. Cunningham, really! Show and Tell-my brother ate it! Show and Tell-my dog peed on it?

Show and Tell-turns out I was allergic to it and I got this rash and I couldn't breathe and my mother said "Drop that thing before it kills you" Honest!

Show and Tell


Imagine (Pachelbel's Canon)2:40
I can imagine wonderful things
Caves in the backyard, boats with wings
And I can turn any old, everyday thing I find
Into something useful with my mind

Chorus: Cardboard carton English castles Laundry basket racing cars Dinosaurs in secret hideouts Jungle gyms that fly to the stars

Imagine, imagine That is what I do all day And my imagination could change the world someday

Chorus (2 times)

And our imaginations could change the world someday! And our imaginations will change the world today!
