Down in the alley when the moon's up high Dm7 A7
A crazy cool cat comes struttin' by Dm7 A7
People come out to hear him sing a song Bb7 A7 Dm7 A7
But not everybody is cool when the cat comes along
Dm7 Bb9
Like Mr. Dan, he's the bakery man Dm7 Bb9
He wakes up at four to open up his store Dm7
So when the cat's near Bb9 A7
Mr. Dan will yell loud and clear -
"Scat cat!"
By all accounts, he's a popular fella
He's good friends with big cats like Louis and Ella
People line up to hear him do his thing
But not everybody is cool when the cat starts to sing
Like Mrs. Brady, she's the newspaper lady
She wakes up at five for her paper route drive
So when the cat's there
Mrs. Brady will madly declare -
"Scat cat!"
But then the cat goes...
(scatting)
Eb Dm7
Mrs. Brady and Mr. Dan called up the man Cdim Dm7
Who's name was Sargeant O' Malley Bb Gdim
They said, "We need to sleep so you need to keep Eb A7
The peace down here in this alley."
Gm7 A7
Sargeant O' Malley was waiting late that night, Gm7 A7
Ready to arrest that cat on sight Dm7 C7 Bb7 A7
Along came the cat and that was that... Dm7
(scatting)
When they looked down and saw the Sargeant was groovin'
Mrs. Brady and Dan knew they'd have to be movin'
There's no morning paper or donuts to eat
But everybody's dancin' in the street

I dreamed that I was in my room, when much to my surprise Em Am F D
I found that if I flapped my arms it made me start to rise. G C D G
I waved my arms a little more, then floated off the ground. Em Am D G
I rose up to the ceiling and I had a look around. G D C Am C D
I flapped around my bedroom, then decided what I'd do. Em D C D G
I opened up my window, waved my arms and out I flew.
G F C G D
Fly… Flying through the night. G F C G D G
Fly… And everything's alright.
I flew around the city with surprising grace and ease.
I sailed among the rooftops and I soared above the trees.
I chased a pair of pigeons 'round the playground in the park
I raced beside a robin and I frolicked with a lark.
Fly… Flying through the night.
Fly… And everything's alright.
And when I tired of flying and decided I should rest,
I joined a sleeping eagle for a nap inside his nest.
I thought that it was just a dream. I knew it had to be.
Until I woke to find that I was sleeping in a tree!
Fly… Flying through the night.
Fly… And everything's alright.

Every night, riding in the car I look for the moon
Mom and Dad, they've turned it into a game
So I count, 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10, ready or not, here I come
Csus2
Where could he be? Maybe there, behind that tree
D7 G D7 G
I know he's out there, I'll find him soon D7 G Em Am7 D7 G
My favorite game is playing hide and go seek with the moon
In the morning, every now and then, I look and see the moon
He always wants to play that game
Sometimes he's a sliver, sometimes he's round
Sometimes he's hiding behind a cloud
Up and down and all around the sky
Fmaj7 G
Last night he hid so well, I couldn't find him at all
Same thing tonight, and I want to know
Where did he go, my friend the moon?
G Cmaj7*
Over there, behind that tree... I see you

Don't bother any butterflies. Give ladybugs no grief. Dm A B7* E7
Don't irritate the inchworm as it strolls along the leaf. A B7 D6 A
Do not besiege the bumblebee or set upon the fly. Dm A D7 E7 A
If a spider walks before you, let the spider sidle by.
A F Dm* A
Try not to plague the locust. Let the caterpillar pass. Faug A G F E
Investigate no anthill with your magnifying glass.
Don't terminate the termite or antagonize the flea.
If a beetle is beside you, let it be, yeah, let it be.
If you should come across a bug,
you now know what to do.
For if you do not bug the bug,
the bug will not bug you. Dm A
If you do not bug the bug, D7 Ddim A
the bug will not bug you.

The moon's shining bright. You're snuggled in tight. G6 G G6 G
Now close your eyes for sweet lullabies.
C G C G
Lay down your head. I've made you a bed D/F# Em7 Am7 D
of feathers and forests and fairy tales. G6 Em Am E Am
Of horses with wings and wondrous things. C Am D/F# Em
Take courage, my child; the forest is wild C D/F# G
but you are the hero of your dreams
You fall into sleep with a promise to keep
the dragons at length with your valor and strength.
Be brave with your sword. Have faith in your lord
and you'll have the power to win the day
Though danger is near you'll fight through your fear
The dragons you see are no match for thee
for you are the hero of your dreams
These deeds you must take with you when you wake
You'll bravely defeat each dragon you meet C D/F# G E7
You are the hero of your dreams
You are the hero of your dreams

The Sun was in his bathing suit. The Moon in her pajamas. D D/C# D/B D/A G A D
They played all day until the two were called in by their mamas.
The Sun went home and climbed in bed. His mama sang a tune.
And soon the Sun was fast asleep and dreaming of the Moon.
The Moon decided not to go. Instead she stayed outside.
She danced and played and laughed and sang,
'til she was sleepy-eyed.
When morning came, the Sun arose and went outside to play.
But could not find his friend, the Moon, who slept inside all day.
So now these two are best of friends apart in dark and light.
The Sun turns in at evenfall. The Moon comes out at night.
The shining Moon sees no sunlight. The Sun sees no moonbeams.
But when they both are fast asleep, they're in each other's dreams.

For the joy of human love; brother, sister, parent, child

When you look from where you are
Is our Sun your little star?
Little star, shine your light
As we sing for you tonight
Twinkle twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
Twinkle twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are
REST EASY NOW
