Know what you're after, Sadness or laughter, Bad times, good times, The latter I prefer. I made my decision, Picked friends with precision, The fun type, So good times wouldn't lag... We made lots of music, And movies, to use it, Kids books...a world, Created for fun adventures, Jason and Jeffrey, Stephen J with Ace, respectively, And Lydia, They're part of the Slouch Rag. [VERSE 2] Do you know what, you're after, Sadness or laughter, Bad times, good times, The latter I prefer. I made my decision, Picked friends with precision, The fun type, So good times wouldn't lag... We made lots of music, And movies, to use it, Kids books...a world, Created for fun adventures, Black Bart and One Eye, Gibberin' Bob is the third guy, And Gutless George, They're part of the Slouch Rag.

When I'm sitting around, With my homework all done, And there's nothing to do.... I call all of my friends, They don't answer the phone, Where have they gone to? Well I'm thinking and I'm thinking with the TV right in front of me, When something catches my eye, It's a television program that is made for younger people, I think I'll give it a try, I'm going to go, Where do you go? To the Children's Corner. Where do you go? We're going to go, To the Children's Corner. The channel is set, The program is on, Entertaining and fun... Filled with stories and facts, I'm glad that I'm here, My boredom all gone... This land is filled with creatures and some interesting people, No where on earth can compare, This place is very special it's a world all by itself, Through the pink bag with the sign that says "rare," Where do you go? We're going to go, to the Children's Corner.... Where do you go? Look around, what do you see? Prankstown is over there, There's a Slouch and some Grocks, A Weazit and Shlox, You never know what new adventure, you may share... At the Children's Corner.... Where do you go? We're going to go, To the Children's Corner. Where do you go? We're going to go, To the Children's Corner. Tell me where do you go? We're going to go, To the Children's Corner. Where do you go? We're going to go, To the Children's Corner. Just where do you go? We're going to go, To the Children's Corner. Where where do you go? We're going to go, To the Children's Corner. Where do you GO!

Ever wondered, how seasons know when to change, All four different, I find it, all so strange, Ever wondered, how scientists, find a cure, Or how inventors, invent gadgets, that endure, …,It seems I wonder all the time, …,How does a Mountain Goat climb, …Electric cars and computers are, …the tip of the iceberg, …these are the things that puzzle me. …I wonder at times, things boggle my mind, …Hope answers, I find, …it’s an interesting thing, how the birds sing, …or a doorbell can ring, …To figure things out for me, is like having a key, …for information to see, …I just want to learn, I feel it’s my turn, …For the knowledge I yearn. Ever wondered, if travelling would be fun, See other cultures, and places, where beauty stuns, Ever wondered, how creative people think, Or why lemons float, but limes will sink, …who figured out the fuse, …or the month’s of the year we use, …electric cars and computers are, …the tip of the iceberg, …these are the things that puzzle me.

We don’t have painted clowns, To make you laugh and shout, But we have dispatchers, each pullin’ their hair out, And we don’t have no bulls, all penned up in a coup, We just have children, that we transport, In our hoop..... And we don’t have no trails, Like cowboys used to ride, We travel freeways and the highways, All in stride, And we don’t carry beans and pork, Like the old west, To transport children with their school books, Is our quest.... So now, we’d like to show, Just what we know, at the School Bus Rodeo, Our skills, we shall compete, when divers meet, at the School Bus Rodeo.... We don’t ride horses, and we don’t take any flack, We pick ‘em up, drop ‘em off, then bring ‘em back, And unlike cowboys, we don’t fall, and break our bones, We take our metal ride, maneuver through the cones... We don’t yell yee-hah, giddy-up, or even Whoa, We just say, “Get on Board”, then off to school we go. And we don’t have the smell of horses, or the fuss, Just lots of children, who like yellin’ on the bus.. And our skills we’re gonna’ show...at the School Bus Rodeo.

Relax while I tell you, a strange and different story, That happened on a Saturday, I had been lazy, week-end homework drives me crazy, And the night before I’d said, “NO WAY.” My mom had to shop, I opened a “pop”, She said “Son, “You can play when your homework is done.” Then she left and I sat there just a thinkin’, With the house just ‘crackin’ and a ‘squeakin’, With a stack of all my schoolbooks, by my side. I started looking all around, as I heard a funny sound, A sound I’d never heard before. The Couch started shakin’, the noise it kept a’makin, The cushions threw me to the floor. From the couch there grew, two red fuzzy ears… They were glued to a head, on a creature so weird, From the couch, it jumped onto the table, With a pink bag and “rare” was it’s side label, It spoke, it said, “I’m a Slouch, what’s there to eat.” Slouch In The Couch…….Slouch In The Couch.. Slouch In The Couch…….Slouch In The Couch, It grabbed my books, out the door it went runnin’, I yelled, “Come back Slouch”, I wasn’t funnin’, It laughed, saying, “Unfinished homework taste best you see.” In the house right next to me, lived my friend Mildred McGee, She saw the Slouch and gave out a “yelp.” I said, “Milly help me please, you know I never tease, There’s a Slouch out here, I need your help.” She joined in the chase, We ran all over the place, The pink bag it dropped, Milly & I we both stopped. The bag opened, a creature did appear, It said, “I’ll help catch that Slouch, don’t fear, I’m Grock One, my Grocks & I will get the job done.” Slouch In The Couch…….Slouch In The Couch.. Slouch In The Couch…….Slouch In The Couch, He called his Grocks, up to 194, They caught that Slouch in a furniture store, It was a sight, now all my homework is done Friday night.

No no, Can’t go, No no, you can’t go, One Rule, learned in School, No no, you can’t go…don’t go… Slouchville’s a town, with just one rule, Stay out of the hills, behind the school, It was here, at the base of these hills, That Elroy sat, smiling from past thrills, ..Curiosity Flared… Elroy wanted, to see what he could, In those forbidden hills, he felt he should… The Space of the Grumps, a town where Grumps live, Is within those hills, the Grumps all give, They keep rooms filled with presents galore, To give to strangers, who pass their door, ..The nicest Grump was Jen… She was smart, about seven years old, Jenny Grumpion, had a heart of gold.... So it began this day, one rule in play, Elroy would not, obey, Into the hills he walked, passing signs he balked, Never ever, never ever, never ever, do you jump on a Grump.. As Elroy walked, he ran into, Mr. Jelloptomous and Auntie Carol too, Each was surprised to see him there, They tried to warn him, He did not care, ..What about the signs?.. A rule was nothing but a lot of words, And should be broken, or so he’d heard… He walked by another sign that read, “The Space of the Grumps, about one mile ahead,” It wasn’t long before he entered town, Jenny was waiting, in a yellow gown, ..with Bart the Shlox… Jen had a cart, with gifts everywhere, There were flowers and Jewelry and an old rocking chair… Elroy was thrilled, with the gifts from Jen, They played with them all, again and again, To a playground, they both did race, They swung on the swings and had a chase, …piggyback was next… Jenny was shocked and tried to get away, Never jump on a Grump, a rule you must obey… Elroy laughed, jumping on Jen’s back, Which made her stumble, into a shack, They both fell, it wasn’t long, ‘Til Elroy noticed, there was something wrong, ..Jenny started to grow.. Her hair grew her smile disappeared, Her teeth turned crooked, she looked real weird, …So it was that day, two rules in play, Elroy would not obey, Through the hills he’d walked, passing signs he balked, Never ever, never ever, never ever, do you jump on a Grump.. Other Grumps grew, the ground did quake, Elroy knew, he’d made a mistake, He clung to Jenny she’d turned nice to bad, She tried knocking him off, it was really sad, …should have obeyed the rules… He jumped off, of Jenny’s back, And landed on, a gunny sack… He passed his friends, as he ran to town, Sweating and scared, at what he’d found, He kept running, to home he’d go, Into his bedroom, his fright did show, …There’s a reason for rules… Now Elroy knows, no matter the size, Obeying a rule, makes you wise.. …So now everyday, when a rules in play, Elroy will obey, For he’s seen the light, changed him overnight, Never ever, never ever, never ever, will he jump on a Grump! No no, Can’t go, no no you can’t go, One Rule, learned in School, no no, you can’t go, You’ll get chills, in those hills, And Elroy won’t go…

When I was five, I was chewing some gum, My tooth fell out, I looked at it as, it lay in my hand, What’s this all about ?? When I was nine, one night went to bed, Woke up, I was ten, I went on down to the picture show, It cost me more to get in. Happy Birthdayyyyyyyyyy....Will bring presents to you, Happy Birthdayyyyyyyyyy......And best wishes too, Happy Birthday to you..... Woke up, I looked in the mirror, What did I see? A wrinkle here, another gray hair, What’s happening to me ??, When I walk, I bump into things, Sometimes it’s hard to see, It’s getting harder, to climb up the stairs, What’s happening to me ??, Happy Birthdayyyyyyyyyy....Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthdayyyyyyyyyy......A celebration anew, Happy Birthday to you..... . I’m afraid to close my eyes, what will be next.... Don’t understand what is happening here, I think that I’ve been hexed !!!!, Happy Birthdayyyyyyyyyy....Will bring presents to you, Happy Birthdayyyyyyyyyy......And best wishes too, Happy Birthday to you..... Surprise party, my friends threw for me, Laughter filled the air, But I’m feeling different, not looking the same, What’s happening here ??, Happy Birthdayyyyyyyyyy....Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthdayyyyyyyyyy......A celebration anew, Happy Birthday to you.....Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you…Happy Birthday to you.

Lovesday *** 05:30
There’s a place, called Stankwell, Where Stinkells do stay. Not very nice, and mean tricks, they like to play, Their best friends are the Slouch, in the Magicial Couch, so keen, For Stinkells are worse that a Slouch, which can be seen, The leader of the Stinkells, is Boris DaMean…. There’s a day, once a year, The Stinkells do fear. It’s called Lovesday, all the creatures, hold it dear. It’s a day when sweets and chocolates, are the news, Stinkells don’t understand, the presents that it brews, This day makes them sick, their beaks turn red from blue. Lovesday was coming, And the love continued to grow, Chocolates bought, presents wrapped, Topped off with a bow, With Boris DaMean, on a hill, watching all below, Tapping his beak, gazing down upon the show, He hated the love, the gifts, Lovesday must go! Lovesday is finally here….it only comes just once a year, The only day, Stinkells fear, Everyone else, holds it dear, Chocolates shaped like hearts, Candies sweet and tart, A day, all others express love……. He formed a plan, to break the dam, High above the towns, He’d wash them out and then their love, Would turn to frowns, Stinkells Tommy and Chad and Brian, were just a few, Who would sneak to the dam, with Boris and wait their cue, To flood the towns and their beaks return to blue. But all the towns, were prepared, Had boats on hand, Except Stankwell, The water swept through their land, Boris stood on a floating platform, spirits popped, He realized that, his flooding plan had flopped, Now boats were approaching, Lovesday had not been stopped. Lovesday is finally here….it only comes just once a year, The only day, Stinkells fear, Everyone else, holds it dear, Chocolates shaped like hearts, Candies sweet and tart, A day, all others express love……. Then it happened, as the boats, All reached his spot, They offered gifts, they offered hearts, Mean tricks forgot, Then Boris felt, forgiveness that was strong, He’d realized what he’d done, was very wrong, And his left eye dripped a tear, which was real long. Lovesday is finally here….it only comes just once a year, A day Stinkells, no longer fear, To love and give, they don’t hold dear, To love for them’s a task. Understanding it now at last, A day, all others express love……. For kindness was the key, That helped, the Stinkells see, But it stops right there, But what more could you ask? For Stinkells, To love is just a task, Emotion, that they all mask, Lovesday will always last!

Is it True 03:05
A person told me, about a hairy creature, The story had a great appeal, Somebody filmed it, the picture was quite fuzzy, I couldn’t tell if it was real, Was someone in, a gorilla outfit, People believed not having seen it, But is it true…is it true, Let the facts do the talkin’ not some other persons point of view. A person told me, about a serpent creature, Living in a massive lake, Somebody filmed it the picture was quite fuzzy, It was proved the film was just a fake, Some people think this creature’s real, This story has a great appeal, But is it true…is it true, Let the facts do the talkin’ not some other persons point of view. ….Life goes on, events change from day to day, ….mistakes in stories when reported surely can be made, ….but when a stories told, and it’s not so kind, ….check all the facts, have an open mind, ….and don’t form an opinion, until you know it’s certain, ….the story that you heard was true…. …Is the story true… …Is the story true… It’s hard to separate fact from fiction, When stories told with true conviction, But is it true, is it true, Let the facts do the talkin’ not some other persons point of view. A person told me, about a scary creature, Chupacabra was it’s name, People said, they actually had seen it, Scaly skin and sharp spines, was their claim, Shepherds feared, for their sheep flock, Chupacabra attacked livestock, Is it true…is it true, Let the facts do the talkin’ not some other persons point of view. And if it’s true…you find it’s true, State the facts when repeated, and then your own point of view.

...When you’re dreamin’, to be acheivin’, you have to take day by day... When I am up, or when I am down, No matter the way I feel, I have found, Possessions you can lose, We all can make a mistake, But the goals in your life, Is one thing no-one can take ...Don’t let your dreams slip away, Don’t let your dreams slip away, No matter what people say, Can’t let your dreams slip away... Take pride in what you do, whatever that might be, If you reach for the moon, that’s your reality, Don’t listen to others words, When they tie you down, An anchor is one thing, No-one needs around ...Don’t let your dreams slip away, Don’t let your dreams slip away, No matter what people say, Can’t let your dreams slip away... ...Your goals in life, though they may be high, That’s your God given right, If people laugh and they put you down, They’re the only losers, you’re the winner, Stay in the fight.…. Ya Gotta Stay In The Fight Now!! You could be a king, or be a Queen, You’re the one in charge, of what your future can bring, Just keep your torch afire, never let it go out, And before you know it, Your dreams will work out ...Don’t let your dreams slip away, Don’t let your dreams slip away, No matter what people say, Can’t let your dreams slip away... NO NO You Can’t Let Them Go!! ...Your goals in life, though they may be high, That’s your God given right, If people laugh and they put you down, They’re the only losers, you’re the winner, Stay in the fight.….
