Make It Play
by Feldiken
Mo, the crow, phoned to say hello
Gail, the whale, in her mail, said you wail
Sam, the lamb, sent a fan telegram
Lex, the t-rex, sent his respects in a text
Take a zebra to dinner
Ask him which dish he likes
Tell him you’re a beginner
At eating with someone who’s striped
Watch TV with a penguin
In your tuxedo dress
When the show is just ending
Put your arm around him and confess
Sometimes, I’m kinda strange
I think all of this is a game
Chorus
Make it play, make it play
Every day is a holiday
Make it play, make it play
You can change the cake,
Even while you’re baking it
You can change your name,
Even while you’re saying it
You can change the game,
Even while you’re playing it
Swim around with a big clown
Have breakfast on the beach
Put a spoon in between your toes
And have a bowl of cornflakes with your feet
Take a cow to the movies
Ask her which jokes she knows
Then repeat them over and over
Until a stream of milk comes out her nose
Yes, I’m a little strange
I think everything’s a game
Chorus
So let the whole world in
And let the whole world spin
And let the whole world live
Like we’re all really strange
And everything’s a game
Chorus

Everybody Counts
by Feldiken
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
Calling to you, one by one,
40 people, won’t you come?
3 hours of swim and fun,
Fourth of July in the sun.
Can you help me set it up?
80 hands should be enough,
Choose it, buy it, all that stuff,
Make sure to tell everyone.
Chorus
13 children, 8 musicians, 19 parents and then 6 more neighbors, party favors, 50 plates of food for our friends, 3 old doggies, 2 new froggies, kitties, turtles and bugs, 100 handshakes, 0 large apes and about 50 hugs.
Nobody’s left out!
Everybody counts!
Swimming pool in and out,
Band is playing twist and shout,
Youngers, parents breaking out
Into wild dancing.
Children singing stole the show,
Fireworks in endless rows,
15 roman candles,
Suddenly they explode!
Chorus
Nobody’s left out!
Everybody counts!
Everybody, everybody, everybody counts! (repeat)

Nobody But You
by Feldiken
Alex was left out of the big kickball game
You saw him standing on the sidelines, feeling ashamed
Neither of you knew exactly what to say
So you turned and slowly asked him,
“Do you want to play?”
Chorus:
Nobody but you
Can do what you do
And you know it’s true
Nobody but you
Alex said, “Yes, let’s play wall ball!”
He tripped on the ball and then he started to fall
You wanna catch him, but you wonder if you can
So you ran over and reached out your hand
Chorus
You’re just like everyone in so many ways
You care, you share and you love to play
It was your birthday
You were sick and couldn’t play
Your mother said, “There’s someone here to see you today”
It was Alex, with a present in his hand
You asked him why and he said, “Don’t you understand that…”
Chorus
Nobody but you (repeat)

My Country Now
by Feldiken
Chorus
The world’s my country now and
New York’s my little town and
Brooklyn’s my playground and
You and me, the home I’ve found
You know I’ve,
I’ve traveled all around and
I’ve babbled with rabble crowds,
How to unravel battlegrounds and
Right now I’m homeward bound
The needy are leading the greedy into believing
Speedily freeing the meaning of succeeding till it’s reaching
Cross the oceans, hopin’ notions of owning get broken open
Sons and daughters saunter stronger
Crashing, laughing, smashing borders
Website so bright tonight
It shines like the morning light and
Invites delightful fights
To rewrite what rights are right and
Chorus
Spreading the wedding of the right and the left wing
Till the right is a left thing and the left is a right thing
In the light of the blessed things
Where the fight is a deft thing
We go right to the best thing
That’s the might of our nesting
Insight so bright tonight
It combines our minds worldwide and
Reminds all kinds be kind and
Unites our lives for life and
Chorus

In My School
by Feldiken
My teacher said,
Imagine you get
Whatever you want
In your head
Yeah!
You make up the rules
That change up your school
To a tool for what you want to do
1st Chorus
In my school, the students rule
The teachers too, in a close knit group
In my school, we cruise in crews
Just glued to who we are learning through
My teacher told me,
we’re completely free
To learn absolutely everything!
Yeah!
But what if you’re hungry,
and out on the street
And you don’t have anything?
2nd Chorus
In my school
There’s good food
To cook you into
The mood for truth
In my school
There’s sleeping rooms
And gleaming roofs
That we’re dreaming through
Every day we run around
Every way fun up and down
Wanna play?
Well, here’s the sound
With our best friends we learn best
Guess the test is happiness
And we’re blessed with a mess of success!
1st Chorus
In my school
Yeah!

This is Your World
by Feldiken
Woah, woah, woah, woah…
Well, people in your life may say
There’s things you just can’t do
Well, look around the world my friend
You’ll see that it’s not true
Well, I’ve got a message for you
You can believe it and use it, whatever you do
Chorus
This is your world
Whether you are a boy or a girl
Whether you’re dressed in tatters or pearls
This is your world
Woah, woah, woah, woah…
Well, every day you get to take
Your true point of view
And in every way you get to make
The home that you want to
Well, now I can look up to you
And you can repeat this
Cause I need to hear it too
Chorus
Woah, woah, woah, woah…

Rockin’ All The Way
by Feldiken
The bass player and the drummer lock
Till the difference fades away
The guitars strum like a tickin’ clock and
We’re rockin’ all the way
The squeezebox jumps into the stream
The piano player made
The singers sing what the music means and
We’re rockin’ all the way
It all works together and
It works better that way
It is such a pleasure when we cooperate
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
When Malik really wants to dance
But his courage fades away
And Sara grabs him by the hand,
We’re rockin’ all the way
When Chantelle yells a dancin’ song
To the whole second grade
And everybody shouts along
We’re rockin’ all the way
It all works together and
It works better that way
It is such a pleasure when we cooperate
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
(Instrumental)
When people travel cross the globe
In a million different ways
To each learn what the other knows
We’re rockin’ all the way
And link by link when we all think
In one big giant chain
And we behave in a great big wave
We’re rockin’ all the way
It all works together and
It works better that way
It is such a pleasure when we cooperate
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

We Like to Moo
by Feldiken
They say you’re loud, loud, loud
You little crowd of cows
You gotta keep, keep, keep it down, down, down
But this crowd of cows
We say oww, oww, oww
What is this now, gotta wear a frown, frown, frown?
Chorus:
We like to moo, like to moo, like to moo, moo, moo!
We like to moo, like to moo, moo, moo!
(repeat)
It’s not natural
It’s not practical
Cows need to talk like anyone
We’re in this old cow field
We gotta keep it real
We’re talking now and until we’re done, done, done.
Chorus:
We like to moo, like to moo, like to moo, moo, moo!
We like to moo, like to moo, moo, moo!
(repeat)
Are you in the mood to moo? (3X)
Are you in the mooood?
They say just stay still now,
You little crowd of cows
Just stand around, roun, roun, roun, round
But that’s not natural
That’s not practical
Cows need to stretch and go to town, town, town.
Chorus:
We like to moo, like to moo, like to moo, moo, move!
We like to moo, like to moo, moo, move!
(repeat)
Are you in the mood to move? (3X)
Are you in the mooood?
Chorus:
We like to moo, like to moo, like to moo, moo, move!
We like to moo, like to moo, moo, move!
(repeat)

Love Yourself
by Feldiken
24/7 you work to do what your family needs
Makin’ money, feeding tummies, being funny, chummy buddies
There’s no pay and no way you can ever get enough sleep
You can close your eyes in the grocery line, but you’re still up thinking ’bout your kids at night
Time to be tender; you’re doing well
Time to surrender and scream for help
Time to remember to love yourself
Can’t love them true, if you don’t love you
Dad and Mom, you’re the bomb, so let’s explode it
Rewind, blow up this grind of unrecognized overtime
Partner up, just enough, so you control it
Pay your way and give you breaks, 8-hour days, four-week vacas
You need to do this with everyone else
100 assistants to give you help
Right now this instant, just love yourself
Bringing up those boys and girls is the biggest work in the whole wide world
When your children are at war with you
it’s just that they want some more of you
They would each like twenty-four of you
And if they grew, this is what they would say to you
Take good care, so you’re there when we get older
Remember to love your health,
cause your health means more than you can tell
Live real wild, so we smile as we get closer
Live life with all your powers, cause your life means as much as ours
Time to be tender; you’re doing well
Time to surrender and scream for help
Time to remember to love yourself
Love yourself
Love yourself
Love yourself
