The grass is green, the sky is blue!
What do you think that I’m going to do?
Grab my shovel and grab my hoe!
Going to make my summertime garden grow!
Hoe-down! Hoe-down!
Grab your hoe and bring it on around!
Hoe-down! Hoe-down!
Everybody’s coming’ to the old hoe-down!

Dirty knees and dirty toes!
Got a big old clump of dirt on my nose!

Looking all around for the tiniest bud.
All I see is a pile of weeds,
Could ‘a sworn I planted tomato seeds!

Bat Dance
Walking around town, seeing them all around.
Everywhere you look, there’s a bat.
Hanging up here and there. Hanging up everywhere.
Bats are taking over, that’s a fact.
I am so inspired when I see those bats go flying!
Makes me want to spread my wings, the gravity defying.
And do a bat dance. And do a bat dance.
Moving around. Huh!
