Lyrics for "R" in the Car

Track 2, "Are You In The Car?"

Are you in the car, car?
Are you in the car, car?
Are, are you going far, far?
Are you in the car, car?

One day we were riding in the car,
The car we were in was riding very far
Very far and very fast
I didn't know how long it was going to last
I was hungry and thirsty and tired you know
I wanted to get out but there was no where to go
So I started singing this little song
And I felt better before too long

Are you in the ...

I sing this song whenever I'm in the car
Or when I'm bored, or wishing upon a star
I like to sing about almost anything
Why not sing about riding and driving
You can try to sing it along with me
Or sing it yourself in a banana tree
You can make up words; make up your own tune
Sing it down on the Earth or sing it up on the moon

Are you in the ...

So now you know my car, car song
It doesn't matter at all if you get it wrong
Try, try again, is what I say
And everything is going to be okay
You can do it your own way that's just fine
You be the star, go ahead and shine
Try it out and you'll go far
I call this song, Are you in the car

Are you in the ...


Track 3, "Where is The Chair?"

Where is the hair?
The hair is on Pierre
The hair is on Pierre?
The hair is on Pierre
Where is the hair?
The hair is on Pierre
The hair is on Pierre

If I could find Pierre
If I could find Pierre
I would find the hair
The toupee of Pierre
And when I find the hair
And when I find the hair
I'll put it on my head
Instead of on Pierre


But where is Pierre?
Pierre is in the chair
Pierre is in the chair
Pierre is in the chair
Where is Pierre?
Pierre is in the chair
Pierre is in the chair

If I could find Pierre ...

But where is the chair?
The chair is in the air
The chair is in the air
The chair is in the air
Where is the chair?
The chair is in the air
The chair is in the air

If I could find Pierre ...

But where is the air?
The air is everywhere
The air is everywhere
The air is everywhere
Where is the air?

If I could find Pierre ...


Track 5, "Very Very Dark"

In a dark, dark forest
Lived a boy named Boris
And a girl named Doris
In the dark, dark forest

It was very, very dark
It was very, very dark
It was very cold and stark
And very, very dark


Their father Barry
Was very, very hairy
His beard was hairier
Than the grass on the prairie
It was very, very ...

Their mother Mary
Was a forest fairy
Though the forest was scary
She was still very cheery
It was very, very ...

In the dark of night
Someone turned on the light
And all of a sudden
It was very, very bright
It was very, very ...

Well, they didn't like the light
They said "this is much too bright"
They preferred it cold and stark
Where it was very, very dark
It was very, very ...


Track 6, "The Cherry Berry Tree"

The cherry berry tree is a very merry tree
It grows cherries and berries and peppermint tea

Cherries and berries and orange canaries
Hooray for the cherry berry tree
The very merry cherry berry tree


One day I was walking in the cherry berry forest
And I came upon a beautiful cherry berry tree
Cherries and berries and orange ...

So, I picked some berries and some orange canaries
And gently sat down to sip some peppermint tea
Cherries and berries and orange ...

I sat beside an elephant who sang a little song
So I listened and I learned and I tried to sing along
Cherries and berries and orange ...

The song was all about the cherry berry tree
The cherries and the berries and the peppermint tea
Cherries and berries and orange ...


Track 8, "Too Many Animals"

My room has four rabbits in it
Your room has four rabbits in it
Our room has four rabbits in it
Four more rabbits every minute

Too many animals, what do we do?
Be much better with one or two
Clean 'em up with a bucket and a broom
Too many animals in our room


My room has four rhinos in it
Your room has four rhinos in it
Our room has four rhinos in it
Four more rhinos every minute
Too many animals ...

My room has four raccoons in it
Your room has four raccoons in it
Our room has four raccoons in it
Four more raccoons every minute
Too many animals ...

My room has four reindeer in it
Your room has four reindeer in it
Our room has four reindeer in it
Four more reindeer every minute
Too many animals ...


Track 9, "Run, Rock, & Roll"

Running down the road
Running in the rain
Running by the river
Then running home again
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run,
I really, really, really, like to run

Rocking down the road
Rocking in the rain
Rocking by the river
Then rocking home again
Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock,
I really, really, really, like to rock

Rolling down the road
Rolling in the rain
Rolling by the river
Then rolling home again
Roll, roll, roll, roll, roll, roll, roll,
I really, really, really, like to roll

Rocking down the road
Rocking in the rain
Rocking by the river
Then rocking home again
Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock,
I really, really, really, like to rock

Track 11, "Pretty Princess"

Oh, once there was a princess, as pretty as can be
She was proud to be a princess of the pretzel country
She pranced and she danced to the Pretzel Prelude
While crunching on a pretzel, her favorite food

Poor, poor, princess don't you cry
You love pretzels why ask why?


She didn't have a prince, but that didn't make her cry
She would rather have a pretzel than meet some handsome guy
She preferred pretzels to fruit or french fries
In the big pretzel contest, she won first prize

Poor, poor, princess ...

She promised the pretzels that she would always be true
But she was just pretending, like other children do
All the pretzels cried till their tears made them soggy
The princess ran away with her little pet froggy

Poor, poor, princess ...


Track 12, "Broccoli Bread"

I like broccoli bread for breakfast
And broccoli bread for brunch
Broccoli bread for supper
And broccoli bread to crunch

I daydream when I'm drowsy
I drink when I am dry
I'm proud to break broccoli bread
To every girl and guy


I like frozen fruit for breakfast
And frozen fruit for brunch
Frozen fruit for supper
And frozen fruit to crunch
I daydream when...

I like greasy greens for breakfast
And greasy greens for brunch
Greasy greens for supper
And greasy greens to crunch
I daydream when...


Track 14, "First Person"

First person, second person, third person here
Purring like cats till they all disappear
Who was here first? It's not very clear
So lets all cheer for every person here

The first person feels like the best person here
The second person feels like the first person here
But the third person feels like the worst person, oh dear!
So lets all cheer for every person here

All of the people are purple, of course
Every one sits on their own purple horse
Purring like cats till they all disappear
So lets all cheer for every person here

They go through the door and glide across the floor
Every person gets a perfect score
Who finished first? It's not very clear
So lets all cheer for every person here


Track 15, I Heard A Word

I heard a word, I heard a word
Very near, loud and clear, I heard a word
It is hard to say but I will say it anyway
Give it a try learning to fly, just like a bird.


I heard a word that started with the letter A
That was ok, it was easy to say
I heard a word that started with the letter B,
That was a breeze like one two three
I heard a word that started with the letter C,
No problem there, I said whoopee

But when I heard a word that started with the letter R,
I said, "Hold on friend, you have gone too far."
R is a letter that I can't say
Well I have some trouble with it anyway.
When I try to say it, it just slips away
But I will try it again ok

I heard a word, I heard..

I heard a word that started with the letter D
Delightful, delicious I didn't disagree
I heard a word that started with the letter E
Excellent and exceedingly easy
I heard a word that started with the letter F
Fabulous, friendly, fancy free

But when I heard a word that started with the letter R,
I said, "Hold on friend, you have gone too far.
R is a letter that I can't say
Well I have some trouble with it anyway.
When I try to say it, it just slips away
But I will try it again ok

I heard a word, I heard..

I heard a word that started with the letter G
And I gleefully gave it my guarantee
I heard a word that started with the letter H
Happened to hear the word happily
I heard a word that started with the letter I
As interesting as infinity

But when I heard a letter that started with the letter R,
I said, "Hold on Friend, you have gone too far."
R is a letter that I can't say
Well I have some trouble with it anyway.
When I try to say it, it just slips away
But I will try it again ok

Listen to the music and give me a smile
I will get back to you in a little while
