Melody Ring has a musical family D A
A musical family has Melody Ring G D
Her mother likes opera and symphony music A G D
and frequently joins in a chorus to sing
Bm G
But Melody Ring doesn't know how to sing A Bm
She's unable to utter a chirp G F#7 Bm A
She opens her mouth with the best of intentions G A D
But all that comes out is, "Buuuuurp!"
Melody's father likes country and western
He plays his harmonica all through the day
He picks on his banjo and bows on his fiddle
There's hardly an instrument father can't play
But Melody Ring doesn't play like her dad
She's no good at the trumpet or flute
She picks up an instrument, ready to play
But all that comes out is, "Tooooooot!"
Melody's brother plays electric guitar
He jams with his friends in a rock and roll band
He's also a DJ who scratches and raps
He plays all the songs that his parents can't stand
But Melody Ring isn't cool like her brother
She won't win the Grammy, it's true
She picks up the microphone, ready to rock
But all that comes out is, "Ah-chooooo!"
D G A
Melody's parents are truly embarassed D A
They simply don't know what to say or to do G F#7 Bm A
So they've decided to not say a word A#dim A7 D G A D
At least until next year, when Melody turns two
Dm C G A
I can't wait for summer, I'll have so much fun Dm Bb F A
Every day I'll run and play outside in the sun Dm C G A
I can't wait for summer, jumping in the pool Bb F A
Taking hikes and riding bikes, how cool!
D A C G Bb C D
I can't wait! I can't wait! I can't wait for summer.
I can't wait for summer, camping at The Lakes
Waterskis and climbing trees and scaring girls with snakes
I can't wait for summer, fireworks at night
Playing tag and Capture the Flag, alright!
I can't wait for summer, sandals on my feet
Finding shade and lemonade to try and beat the heat-
I can't wait for summer, but here's what seems so cruel
Today is just the first day of school...
Em D
He wore a purple mask, orange pants and mint green boots. Em D
His hat was big, his mustache even bigger. Bm F#m
The sheriff from that Old West town sure looked like quite a hoot. E7 A A7
But his eye was sharp, his finger always ready on that trigger.
A7 A#dim Bm7 E7
Why his name is not well-known? It's hard to say, I guess... E7 F7 F#7 G7 G#7 A7
B-E-R-G-A-L-E-O-U-K-A-L-E-O-P-A-L-E-O-U-S

Cowboy Bergaleoukaleopaleous A7 D
The greatest man who ever wore a badge out in the West D D7 G Gm
He had a lousy name, so he never got much fame... D
Others got more credit, A7 D
but Cowboy Bergaleoukaleopaleous was the best
Em D
Riding on a train bound for Reno Em D
Two outlaws came on and tried to make off with the gold Bm F#m
But when the sheriff opened up the bathroom door E7 A7
He knocked both them outlaws out cold
Cowboy Bergaleoukaleopaleous
The greatest man who ever shot a can out of the sky
He had a lousy name, so he never got much fame...
Others got the credit
but Cowboy Bergaleoukaleopaleous was the guy
And he could sing, too...
G D A D
(yodeling) Yee-haw! (yodeling) Yee-haw! G D A7
(yodeling) Yee-haw!
They say he had a horse he named Horsie
And he could ride her clear over wide ravines
When they asked him how she could jump so far
He said he fed her nothing else but campfire beans
Cowboy Bergaleoukaleopaleous
The greatest man who ever shoveled hay out of a stall
He had a lousy name, so he never got much fame...
Others got more credit
but Cowboy Bergaleoukaleopaleous did it all
Em D
The legend says he died age of ninety Em D
by chokin' on a twig he had between his teeth D D7
It took a ten foot stone to fit his name G Gm
at the place where they laid his bones D
It read, "Here lies the greatest cowboy that ever lived- A7 D
Bergaleoukaleopaleous Jones"

NO BIG DEAL

A F#m
My toothbrush fell into the toilet when I flushed D A
No big deal, I had already brushed A F#m
My baby sister painted on my bedroom wall D E
No big deal, it doesn't look too bad at all E
It's okay, I'm okay
A E D A D E
Anything that happens now couldn't change the way I feel A E D E
Everything will be alright, all that stuff is no big deal
I tripped and fell and hurt myself in gym today
No big deal, I had fun anyway
I broke a string on my guitar for show and tell
No big deal, I still played it pretty well
D C#m
Little things like that can take you by surprise D E
It's no big deal if you just realize it's no big deal...
E A B E
I was walkin' in the sand. I was lookin' for an ice cream stand. E A B E
The sun was hot and so was I. There was not a cloud in the sky. F# B
Without warning I stepped upon a patch of sand right in the sun. E7
Hot sand!
I walked on for a while. Sang a tune and began to smile.
A seagull sang along with me. We were happy as we could be.
I saw a shortcut I could take. That's when I made my mistake.
I finally made it to the store. My feet were hot and really sore.
I bought a drink, cold and sweet. Then I poured it on my feet.
Boy, it's tough, I'm tellin' you,
when you find you're walkin' through hot sand!
WHEN I GROW UP
(c) 2005 Words and Music by Eric and Roseann Endres
G B7 Em C
When I grow up I wanna be ten feet tall G B7 C A7
So I can make a slam dunk every time playing basketball G Bm7b5
And when I'm walking anywhere Ebdim+ Edim
People say, "Hey dude, how's the weather up there? G D G
I wanna be ten feet tall, when I grow up
When I grow up I wanna have a zillion bucks
So I can buy lots of candy, toys and monster trucks
I'll give half away to everyone
Then buy a laser-guided, super-powered water gun
I wanna have a zillion bucks when I grow up
D C G Am7 G
When I grow up everything will be great, I'll stay up so late C D
And I will not have to eat things I really hate (like mushrooms)
When I grow up I wanna be a superman
So I can be a real hero and stop every evil plan
And when they see me going by
People say, "Look at that dude fly!"
I wanna be a superman when I grow up
When I grow up everything will be great, but I have to wait
Sometimes, it's hard being only thirty-eight
STEVE THE SUPERHERO
(c) 2005 Words by Kenn Nesbitt
Music by Eric and Roseann Endres
Bm D
He's Steve the Superhero and you simply won't believe C# C Bm
The powers he possesses by merely being Steve
His smile can crack a mirror and his breath can make you faint
And when he takes his socks off it's been known to peel the paint.
Em G Bm
Steve Superhero
The power in his underarms can make a grown man cry.
A single burp can make you want to crawl away and die.

LUCKY DAY
(c) 2006 Words by Eric Ode and Eric and Roseann Endres
Music by Eric and Roseann Endres
G C G C
Today seems like my lucky day with everything I do G C D
It started off this morning when I stopped to tie my shoe F C G F
And what do you suppose I spied on the ground right by my side? C Am G
A lucky four-leaf clover coming through
D Csus2 G D Csus2 G
Everything is going my way and I feel inclined to say Am7 D G
Today is my lucky day
I took my Daddy's shovel and I stuck it in the dirt
I worked that clover gently out so it would not be hurt
Then in that hole, beside a root, I found a lucky rabbit's foot
and put it in the pocket of my shirt
Bm C
I dug a little deeper, I was almost underground Bm C
I kind of had to laugh at the box of lucky charms I'd found Am7 D
There was more cool stuff down deep among some rocks G F C D
A horeshoe, a lucky penny and a pair of lucky socks
Today must be my lucky day, I feel it in my soul
and if I keep on digging I might even find some gold
But deeper on I realize, maybe this was not too wise
Now I'm stuck way down here in this hole
G Cmaj7
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
