WIENER DOG by Ernest S. Papay

WIENER DOG! I live close to the floor
WIENER DOG! Let me lick you some more
WIENER DOG! At home I am king.
WHAT A CUTE WIENER DOG!

WIENER DOG! Now don’t pick me up.
WIENER DOG! I look like a pup.
WIENER DOG! I do what I like.
WHAT A CUTE WIENER DOG!

I wag my tail when you come home. I bring my toy to play.
I wag my tail when I sound mad. I bark at the mailman everyday.

PLAYGROUND (UP AND DOWN) by Ernest S. Papay

UP AND DOWN. UP AND DOWN. UP AND DOWN. UP AND DOWN.

Swinging on the swing today. First you’re close then far away.
UP AND DOWN. UP AND DOWN. UP AND DOWN. UP AND DOWN.
Climb the ladder way up high. Like a rocket down the slide.
UP AND DOWN. UP AND DOWN. UP AND DOWN. UP AND DOWN.

Playground. Playground. I’m pretending as I play.
Playground. Playground. Leave me here all day.

UP AND DOWN. UP AND DOWN. UP AND DOWN. UP AND DOWN.

Climb the jungle gym a lot. Finally I sit on top.
UP AND DOWN. UP AND DOWN. UP AND DOWN. UP AND DOWN.
Ride the seesaw to the sky. Then back down, then up so high.
UP AND DOWN. UP AND DOWN. UP AND DOWN. UP AND DOWN.

Playground. Playground. I’m pretending as I play.
Playground. Playground. Leave me here all day.

UP AND DOWN. UP AND DOWN. UP AND DOWN. UP AND DOWN.

Swinging on the swing today. Then I JUMP!

THE LEAVES FALL IN FALL by Ernest S. Papay
The leaves are red. They’re falling.
The leaves are brown. They’re falling to the ground.
They’re yellow too. They’re falling.
It’s just that time of year.

The leaves fall in Fall - no way you can stop them.
The leaves fall in Fall. They tumble to the ground.
The leaves fall in Fall. The weather is changing.
They make such a mess. EVERYWHERE!
The leaves fall in Fall.

Maple trees - the leaves are falling.
Oaks and elms - the leaves are falling,
But not the pines.

The leaves fall in Fall - no way you can stop them.
The leaves fall in Fall. They tumble to the ground.
The leaves fall in Fall. The weather is changing.
They make such a mess. EVERYWHERE!
The leaves fall in Fall.

The leaves fall in Fall - no way you can stop them.
The leaves fall in Fall. They tumble to the ground.
The leaves fall in Fall. The weather is changing.
They make such a mess. LIKE MY ROOM!
The leaves fall in Fall. The leaves fall in Fall. The leaves fall in Fall.

WE’RE ALL BACK IN SCHOOL  by Ernest S. Papay

WE’RE ALL BACK! Hey! Summer is over.
WE’RE ALL BACK! It’s time for a change.
WE’RE ALL BACK! It’s too cold to swim.
WE’RE ALL BACK IN SCHOOL!

WE’RE ALL BACK! I’ll see my old friends.
WE’RE ALL BACK! It’s the same old place.
WE’RE ALL BACK! Say “Hi” to the teachers.
WE’RE ALL BACK IN SCHOOL!

Reading and writing and coloring pictures too
Listening and laughing - there’s so much to do.

I LOVE YOU TOO  by Ernest S. Papay

The best things in life are the small things you do:
The push when I’m on the swing;
The hugs that you give when I fall off my bike;
The things that say, “I love you.”

Mommy I love you too. Mommy I love you too.
You’re always there when I need you.
Mommy I love you too. Mommy I love you too.
You’re always there when I need you.

The times that you came to my baseball games
Were, oh, so important to me.
The time that you helped me with homework and school
And smiled when I didn’t see.

Daddy I love you too. Daddy I love you too.
You’re always there when I need you.
Daddy I love you too. Daddy I love you too.
You’re always there when I need you.

Mommy I love you too. Mommy I love you too.
You’re always there when I need you.
Mommy I love you too. Mommy I love you too.
You’re always there when I need you.

VACATION by Ernest S. Papay

Climb on in. We’re going on vacation. ARE WE THERE YET?!!
Thinking ‘bout the sandy beach - vacation. ARE WE THERE YET?!!
Read a book. Play a game. Watch a DVD.
Watch the cars. Pass the trucks. Time is going so slowly.

Climb on in. We’re going on vacation. ARE WE THERE YET?!!
I see mountains way out there - vacation. ARE WE THERE YET?!!
Sitting here in the van - little push and shove.
Waiting here patiently. My brother keeps touching me.

Climb on in. We’re going on vacation. ARE WE THERE YET?!!
Three days on the road again - vacation. ARE WE THERE YET?!!
Finally we arrived. Hope it doesn’t rain.
Smile again - the camera’s out. When can we come back again?

Climb on in. We’re going on vacation. ARE WE THERE YET?!!
Climb on in. We’re going on vacation. ARE WE THERE YET?!!
Climb on in. We’re going on vacation. ARE WE THERE YET?!!

I’m bored.
He touched me!
She’s looking’ at me!
I have to go to the bathroom!
I’m hungry.
I’m thirsty.
Is there a pool where we’re going?
Mom - he’s not sharing!
I’m hot!
Eeew - the dog just barfed!

TRUCK DRIVER by Ernest S. Papay

When I grow up, I’m gonna drive a truck,
A big rig, down the road.
I’ll drive up and down the coast,
Hauling a mighty load.
Making tight truck city-turns,
Back-up to the dock,
Laying on my big air horn
When someone cuts me off.

When I grow up I’m gonna drive a truck,
18 wheels or more,
Keeping up the economy,
Bring stuff to the stores.

Sleeping in the cab sometimes,
Or maybe drive all night,
An 18-wheeler is my home,
And that suits me alright.

When I grow up, I’m gonna drive a truck
Through construction zones.
Fill ‘er up with diesel fuel,
Now I’m heading home.

When I grow up I’m gonna drive a truck.
When I grow up I’m gonna drive a truck.
When I grow up I’m gonna drive a truck,
Heading down the road.

IT’S RAINING TODAY  by Ernest S. Papay
It’s raining today. I can’t go outside to play.
Outside it’s wet. So inside I’ll sit. It’s raining today.
I’ll read a new book. I’ll watch some TV.
I can’t go out, so I’ll sit here and pout. It’s raining today.

RIDIN’ ON MY BIKE  by Ernest S. Papay

Ridin' on my bike. The sun is really hot.
We’re all in the driveway, need a traffic cop.
Ridin' on my bike every single day.
Rain, rain stay away.

DAD’S SLED  by Ernest S. Papay

Every year, up in the attic,
My Dad goes and gets his sled.
He used it when he was a kid.
My Dad’s sled is cool.

It’s got runners, just like my ice skates.
Big and heavy, it’s made of wood.
It’s not just a blue sheet of plastic.
My Dad’s sled is cool.

Riding down the hills. I sit in the front.
Steer to avoid a tree.
This time I’m on top. Snow blows in my face.
Sometimes I’m all alone. PUSH ME!

Every year, up in the attic,
My Dad goes and gets his sled.
He used it when he was a kid.
My Dad’s sled is cool.
My Dad’s sled is cool.
My Dad’s sled is cool.

Thanks for the turkey. Thanks for the pie.
Thanks for the vegetables. I might give them a try.
Thanks for the family and everyone I meet.

Thanks for two days off from school.
Thanks for football. I think I will repeat:
Enough of this thanking - LET’S EAT!!!!

RIDING ON THE TURNPIKE  by Ernest S. Papay
Every summer we go to Kennywood.
We stay there all day.
Standing in line for my favorite ride,
It’s always worth the wait.

Riding on The Turnpike with my Mom and Dad.
I’m driving the car.
I can’t stop or start, but I’m making all the turns.
We’ll go pretty far.

Eating my lunch at the Potato Patch,
The best fries they all say.
Back in line with my Mom and Dad,
We’ll drive there all day.

Riding on The Turnpike with my Mom and Dad.
I’m driving the car.
I can’t stop or start, but I’m making all the turns.
We’ll go pretty far.
