1. Baby Songs Theme
Words: Martha Cheney / Music: Hap Palmer
It's a wonderful day to go out and play
Hey, maybe you could come along
All you need to bring is a song to sing
A happy little baby song
We can sing about friends
And the people we know
We can sing about the places we go
We can sing about the world
And the things that we see
We can sing about you and me

It rolls down the sidewalk and up the hills
The stroller takes baby everywhere
It's a wonderful, fanciful, rolling chair

Round and round and round
Rolling rolling rolling 'round

He rides on the sidewalk but not the street

Words: Martha Cheney / Music: Hap Palmer
Chorus:
Don't you love to have fun in the tub
Rub-a-dub
Just hop in the water and scrub
Rub-a-dub
Pile up the bubbles just as high as they'll go
The start at the top and work down to each toe
In the scrubbly bubbly tub
First you wash your face to make your cheeks bright
But remember to keep your eyes shut tight
Then ears in and out and neck round and round
Then move on to your shoulders and arms up and down
Repeat Chorus
Your fingers and toes may need extra soap
And you haven't forgotten that tummy I hope
Wash your bottom and legs, scrub on down to those feet
Then up, down and sideways, you're all clean and sweet
Repeat Chorus

10. Today I Took My Diapers Off
Words and Music: Hap Palmer
Today I took my diapers off
I do not need them now
Just like grown ups use the potty,
I am learning how.
There's no more pins and sticky tapes
And waiting to be changed
Now if you will excuse me please
I have to go again
Chorus:
I have a little potty of my very own
It has a yellow ducky to hold on to
It's just the perfect size for someone big like me
'Tho it might be just a little small for you
Today I took my diapers off
I've never felt so free
My pants are not puffed out in back
What you see is me
I have some bright new underwear
Just like the big kids get
Before I go I pull them down
So I won't get them wet
Repeat Chorus
Today I took my diapers off
And put them in a drawer
I waved goodbye to them 'cause I
Won't need them anymore

12. Walking
Words: Martha Cheney / Music: Hap Palmer
Chorus:
Walking walking walking walking
Seems so easy now
But I remember when I was small
And I did not know how
I would take two steps and then fall down
And bump my bottom on the ground
My dad would say, "That's O.K."
"Try some more another day"
Repeat Chorus
I would take two steps and then two more
And fall down on the kitchen floor
But up I'd stand, dust my hands
And tell myself I know I can
Repeat Chorus

But playin' horse is what I like the best of all

Get down on your hands and knees
Daddy be a horsie, daddy be a horsie

But I like it most when he comes home and I can say

15. Big Things Come From Little Things You Do
Words and music by Hap Palmer
Step by step, bit by bit,
Piece by piece, dreams come true
Big things come from little things you do
Clear some space bring your blocks
Stack them up to build a house
Big things come from little things you do
One by one, each step you take
Makes your wish come true
Pour the mix, crack an egg
Stir in milk then bake a cake
Big things come from little things you do
Call your friends, hang balloons
Plan some birthday party games
Big things come from little things you do
One by one, each step you take
Makes your wish come true
(Makes your wish come true)
Dig the ground, plant some seeds
Spray the hose, a garden grows
Big things come from little things -
Big things come from little things -
Big things come from little things you do

16. Put Your Toes To Your Nose
Words & Music by Hap Palmer
Touch your toes to your nose
Like a spider on a rose
Lift them way up high
Like a birdie in the sky
Make 'em squiggle, squiggle, squirm
Like a pack of wiggly worms
Touch you toes to your nose.
Touch your toes to your cheek
Touch your toes to your chin
Touch your toes to your knee
Touch your toes to your shin
Touch your toes to your ankle
Touch your toes to your elbow
Touch your toes to someone else's toes
Wiggle and squiggle, open and close
To say Hello-high ho!
Touch you toes to your nose!

17. Just Fun
Words and Music by Hap Palmer
Jumping up and down, jumping up an down
Bouncing up and down like a basketball
When somebody asks me why I'm jumping up and down
I tell them there's no reason at all.
It's just fun, jumping up and down
It's just fun, jumping up and down
Simple things can be so fine
Like the fun you can have just jumping around.
Turning around, turning around
Like a top or a wheel or a carrousel
When somebody asks me why I', turning around
I just smile cause there's nothing to tell.
It's just fun, turning around
It's just fun, turning around
Simple things can be so fine
Like the fun you can have just turning around
Simple things are everywhere, Things that anyone can do
And if you'd like to have some fun, you can join in too!
Rolling around, rolling around
Like a kitten in a rug or a rolling pin.
When someone asks me why I'm rolling around
I shrug my shoulders, giggle and grin
It's just fun, rolling around
It's just fun, rolling around
Simple things can be so fine
Like the fun you can have just rolling around.
Jumping, turning, rolling
Guess by now you're knowing
I love to do it just for fun!
