It's a Small World

It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small, small world
It's a world of laughter, a world of tears
It's a world of hopes and a world of fears
There's so much that we share
that it's time we're aware
It's a small world after all

Carnival Mask

Just dance and put your mask up high
Just dance, raise your arms to the sky
Just dance and put your mask up high
Just dance, raise your arms to the sky
Wiggle down, put your mask down low
Wiggle down, how low can you go
Wiggle down, put your mask down low
Wiggle down, how low can you go
Put your mask up high
Put your mask down low
High, low, high, low
Low, high
Carnival Carnival Carnival Carnival

 

Photo of Friendship

Can you see a picture
Where we all get along?
Can you see a picture
Where we all sing one song?
It's a photo of friendship
Of love and joy
Together we stand
Every girl and every boy
All across the world
Over land and sea
We all join hands
Celebrate diversity

Tarantella

Didgeridoo

Matterhorn Climb

Climb up the mountain, lift your knees
 Yodel-ay-hee-hoo, yodel-ay-hee-hoo
Yodel-ay-hee, yodel-ay-hee, yodel-loo
Climb the mountain, lift your knees
Yodel-ay-hee-hoo, yodel-ay-hee-hoo
Yodel-ay-hee, yodel-loo
At the Matterhorn's top it's a lovely stop
for a view of the valley below
At the Matterhorn's top it's a lovely stop
but now it's time to go
Ski down the mountain, bend your knees
Yodel-ay-hee-hoo, yodel-ay-hee-hoo
Yodel-ay-hee, yodel-ay-hee, yodel-loo
Ski down the mountain, bend your knees
Yodel-ay-hee-hoo, yodel-ay-hee-hoo
Yodel-ay-hee, yodel-loo

Suitcase

Will it fit in my suitcase, all my stuff?
Will my suitcase be big enough?
I have to take my toothbrush,
my toothpaste, my teddy bear
I have to take my toothbrush,
my toothpaste, my teddy bear
I have to take my red shirt, my red shoes,
my red underwear
I have to take my red shirt, my red shoes,
my red underwear
I have to take my blanket, my baseball,
my brother Bob
I have to take my blanket, my baseball,
my brother Bob
 

Pharaoh Sleeps 

(Instrumental)

African Drum Dance

(Instrumental)

If You Ride a Donkey

If you ride a donkey, hold on tight
You don't want to fall down the canyon tonight
Hee-haw, I saw
Way down below
The Colorado 
Raging waters flow
Hee-haw, furry paw
The coyote tiptoes
In the Arizona heat
Carefully he goes

 

Chinese Ribbon Dance

(Instrumental)
