Oklahoma has crazy weather But we all think that's great You're really gonna love it when you Visit - our state On Monday it snows three inches or more By Tuesday the temperature's a hundred and four On Wednesday wind, on Thursday rain By Friday the weather man's gone insane Often we have such foggy weather All the birds get soggy feathers The sun pops up and the wind blows enough The birds can't fly with a permanent puff repeat chorus Once it rained real cats and dogs Lizards chickens bats and hogs But the day I'd say was truly awesome Was the day it poured down nothing but opossum Whenever we get thunder and lightning The way it shakes the world is frightening Hail so big the whole world shudders Cows give milk shakes from their udders repeat chorus One day it sprinkled down baked potatoes Sucked up from Idaho by thirty two tornadoes Cooked in the clouds by a lightning ball Dropped on our dinner plates butter and all On a soda pop Tuesday it drizzles cola Cereal Wednesday brings granola We wake with a belly ache on the Monday After every ice cream Sunday repeat chorus

My mother loves to kiss me right in front of all my friends The list of chores she gives me is so long it never ends She blames me for my brother's mess She tells me no when I need yes She's yack yack yacking on the phone, never leaving me alone She’s always getting up in my face So I sent her to this boot camp place I sent my mom to Camp PBC Parental Behavior Control It's a place where she can learn to be fun like me Up in the frozen North Pole Camp PBC, Camp PBC Parental Behavior Control Today I got a letter with a North Pole stamp My mother says she's having an adventure at camp She's learning how to not say no To every place I want to go She practiced how to just chillax, she loves those classes to the max They taught her how to make a s'more And how to pay attention more Repeat Chorus My mom's been away now Longer than I thought Here's a surprise I miss her a lot! I sent my mom to Camp PBC Parental Behavior Control It's a place where she can learn to be fun like me Up in the frozen North Pole Maybe I shouldn’t have sent her away I wish she was coming back home today Camp PBC (3x) Parental Behavior Control

Super Turtle 02:39
Jimmy's turtle, a red-eared slider, Swallowed a radioactive spider He was feeling very funny He felt a tickle in his tummy And he began to change His body rearranged Super Turtle, Super Turtle! High above the clouds Super Turtle, Super Turtle! Waving to the crowds Jimmy would be so surprised To see him shoot his laser eyes But Jimmy will never know So Super Turtle, go! Al E. Gator's evil scheming Always ends with people screaming Turtle flies in on the double Then he lands himself in trouble He's such a decent guy We hope he doesn't die Super Turtle, Super Turtle! High above the clouds Super Turtle, Super Turtle! Waving to the crowds Save the world again today Make the bad guys go away Jimmy will never know So Super Turtle, go! Even when things go wrong He keeps his spirit strong We know he'll find a way Super Turtle always saves the day Super Turtle, Super Turtle! Super Turtle, Go! Super Turtle, Super Turtle! Super Turtle, Go! Super Turtle, Super Turtle! Super Turtle, Go! Super Turtle, Super Turtle! Super Turtle, Go! Go! Go!

Sock monkey digging out in the dirt Sock monkey digging out in the dirt Messy messy mud pies for dessert Sock monkey digging out in the dirt Sock monkey hiding under the bed Sock monkey hiding under the bed What could worry his fuzzy head? Sock monkey hiding under the bed Sock monkey sock monkey you’re such a mess Why you running from me - I think I can guess You got dirty when you went out and played Now it’s time to get clean and you’re afraid Sock monkey hiding down in a shoe Sock monkey hiding down in a shoe Why does sock monkey seem so blue Sock monkey hiding down in a shoe Sock monkey hiding in the washing machine Sock monkey hiding in the washing machine Monkey doesn’t know that’s how you get clean! Sock monkey hiding in the washing machine Socks and underwear swirling around All twisted up in a dressing gown tossed and tangled and twirled and spun swish swoosh clunk - hey, this is fun! Sock monkey wants to do that again Sock monkey wants to do that again The washing machine is now his friend Sock monkey wants to do that again Sock monkey digging out in the dirt Sock monkey digging out in the dirt Messy messy mud pies for dessert Sock monkey digging out in the dirt Silly sock monkey! (3x) Silly sock monkey!

There’s a weird little pet shop way across town I was there around closing late one night I went into the bathroom and when I came out They had locked the door and turned out the light Something went bump in the back of the store In the light from the street lamp I could see A bright pair of eyes and two pointy ears Then this crazy little kitty started singing to me He said... We are party animals, party party animals We like to party all night long We are party animals, party party animals If you want to party you can sing along A dashing little dachshund did a disco dance The chihuahua and chinchilla did the cha cha slide A frog named Fred started spinning on his head A snake did the salsa and a sideways glide The salamander started up a saxophone We did the macarena with a mighty macaw An alligator turtle did the two step in a girdle And we all started dancing the cha cha cha Repeat Chorus You may not believe a word of this song But it's no lie, if that's what you think Whenever I stop at that little pet shop That one crazy kitty always gives me a wink You might think your pet just sleeps through the night Whenever you hit the hay But some future date, if you stay up late You might hear your hamster say... Repeat Chorus

Wacky Week 02:05
My mother asked what's been going on at school I started to say "nothing" like I always do But then I changed my mind I decided to be kind And I told her the whole strange truth... On Monday we went into space Alien creatures took over the place You should hear the way they speak It's been a wacky week On Tuesday we went to the fair We saw a lady with facial hair And a guy who looked like a geek It's been a wacky week It’s been a wacky wacky wacky week Everything is crazy and new Me and my friends hope it never ends Everything I’m telling you is . . . true On Wednesday the toilets exploded The janitor said they were loaded The ceiling began to leak It's been a wacky week On Thursday we all saw a ghost Floating around eating buttered toast Students began to shriek It's been a wacky week What will happen Friday? Nobody knows! It seems like this week anything goes But we know it'll be unique It's been a wacky wacky wacky wacky 14x. . . whoa It’s been a wacky wacky wacky week Everything is crazy and new Me and my friends hope it never ends Everything I’m telling you is . . . true
