I'm sorry for the first time that I saw you And for the day I finally asked your name I'm sorry for the love that we shared in the beginning I'm sorry you no longer feel the same I'm sorry for the first time that I kissed you And for every single time I held your hand I'm sorry for the wasted years that we spent together I feel sorry, just as sorry as I can So babe before you leave Here's my apology I'm sorry that you say you have to go now And for the life I thought we could have led I'm sorry for the wasted nights that we spent together I'm sorry that you say your love is dead So babe before you leave Here's my apology

She's waiting for you But she won't wait forever You know that it's true And if she finds one better She will leave you all alone And that's why You've got to get that girl and bring her home She's looking for you But she won't look forever You know that it's true And if she sees one better She will leave you all alone And that's why You've got to get that girl and bring her home You finally see That she won't wait forever So take it from me You'll never find one better She will stay right by your side And that's why You've got to get that girl and treat her right She's waiting for you But she won't wait forever You know that it's true And that's why you've got to bring her home

Monkey me, monkey you I'll go and see you in the zoo Monkey see, monkey do Monkey swingin' on a branch That monkey do his monkey dance Monkey sittin' on the lawn Monkey sing his monkey song I'll go and see you in the zoo Monkey see, monkey do One day I heard his monkey song And I just had to sing along So I learned his monkey tune You know that I'm a monkey too Now you can find me in the zoo Monkey see, monkey do Monkey see, monkey do Monkey, monkey I see you Monkey do you see me too? Monkey me, monkey you I'll go and see you in the zoo Monkey see, monkey do Now you can find me in the zoo Monkey see, monkey do

Tree Song 02:27
Little girl in a little dress Little girl won't you give it a rest? Little girl living in a tree Little girl get away from me, yeah And it's time to step into the light Cause I've gotta get you out of my life Little girl wasn't meant to be Little girl get away from me Little girl in a little dress Little girl you know I wish you the best Little girl it's time to start a new dream Little girl one without me And it's time to step into the light Cause I've gotta get you out of my life Little girl wasn't meant to be Little girl get away from me

With just a passing glance The thought of love and romance Shines through your love me eyes And all to my surprise With just a passing glance I think that we might have a chance With just one tender look I saw it all around you The longing in your eyes And all to my surprise With just a passing glance I think that we might have a chance I've never felt this way before And even though you tried to hide I could clearly see the way you feel inside

Arnold the octopus had lots to do Swimming around all day in his home in the zoo So much to do They'd come from miles around to watch him play But what he thought of them, he could not say Least not today Cause he's tired of the feeling that he's not at home He'd rather be some place where he can roam But he's stuck here in this zoo with all these things to do Arnold the octopus had lots of fun Swimming around all day in his home in the sun So much fun They'd come from miles around to watch him play But what he thought of them, he could not say Least not today Cause he's tired of the feeling that he's not at home He'd rather be some place where he can roam But he's stuck here in this zoo with all these things to do Everyday I try to think of something new that I can say I try to think of something prettier to play In the hopes that someday she'll want to stay
7.
The Letter 02:11
I've got nothing more to say She's been so long so far away But it's alright I know she'll be back again tonight Seems that only yesterday She packed her things and sailed away To see the world And I know that she'll always be my girl Each and every day she writes a letter Telling me all that she's done and where she's been And when she's coming home again Everyday I read the letters Learning words for foreign weather All the while She'd see the Sahara and the Nile Seems that only yesterday She packed her things and sailed away To see the world And I know that she'll always be my girl
8.
She told me that she's leaving me tomorrow Last night she made the point quite clear I surely think of her tomorrow And I'll dream of all the times she's held me near Tomorrow she must go and leave me right here on my own She told me that she couldn't leave tonight My baby isn't leaving till tomorrow So I won't shed a tear for her tonight She told me that she's leaving in the morning Just one more night here in our bed I'll surely miss her in the morning And I'll dream of all the loving words she said
9.
Me and Mr. Cactus are going to the moon We're gonna take a taxi to the silver spoon When we say goodbye all the world will cry But me and Mr. Cactus will be so high Me and Mr. Cactus will be so high If you're looking in the trees, we won't be there And if you're looking inside you better take the stairs Cause we'll be having a party way up in the sky And me and Mr. Cactus will be so high Me and Mr. Cactus will be so high Well though we've gone away We'll be back again someday
10.
Run and hide Count to ten Who knows when you'll have the time again? Pick a card Take a look And keep it in your wallet or your pocket book, oh Don't be a stranger Just put your arms around me And if you ever doubt me, tell me that it's so Don't be a stranger Don't put off now for later Just take a moment to go knock upon that door And you won't be a stranger anymore Put it up Knock it down Get your favorite ball and kick it around Take a ride Into town Riding on your bike till the sun goes down Get a cup Take a drink Sip it for a while, while you're starting to think Ten o'clock Go to bed Get up in the morning and do it again, oh
11.
Try Again 02:32
The land where she is queen and sings The trees are tall, the fields are green The citizens will always grin with joy As they welcome you to small town Illinois The one eyed goon wants to sell balloons But he keeps his car parked on the moon He's never had a parking fine this way But he may need to go somewhere someday Try, try again If at first you don't succeed Sit and listen here to me and you'll be singing joyously Cry, cry again Seems that all you'll ever be Is a market selling happiness for greed Try, try again Cry, cry again
