Everyday Superheroes Lyrics
1. Everyday Superheroes
His helmet is red, fights fires till they're dead
Her shirt is blue, drives a police car too
His boots are green, runs a garbage machine
Her coat is white, makes sure your health is alright
He's a superhero
An everyday superhero
She's a superhero
An everyday superhero
His hat is yellow, a construction working fellow
Her pants are black, and she sells you a snack
His tie is pink, works at the store I think
Her shoes are brown, and she lives in your town
He's a superhero
An everyday superhero
She's a superhero
An everyday superhero
You don't have to be rich or pretend you're a bat
Real superheroes are nothing like that
Don't need a bite from radioactive spider
Don't need a cape, spaceship or hand glider
Don't have to come from planet Krypton
All you have to do is know right from wrong
Help each other and care for others
And you can be a superhero too!
You can be a superhero too!
You can be a superhero too!
You can be a superhero too!
You're a superhero
An everyday superhero!
You're a superhero
An everyday superhero!
You're a superhero
An everyday superhero!
And you can be a superhero too!
You can be a superhero too!
You can be a superhero too!
You can be a superhero too!
You can be a superhero too!
2. Little Canadian Animal
I had a little porcupine, she was very spiny
Took her to the barber, but she was very whiny
I had a little skunk, he was very smelly
Took him to the doctor
and he poked him in the belly!
I had a little chipmunk, she was very chatty
Took her to a therapist, because she drove me batty
I had a little salmon, he was very slimy
Took him to the cleaners
cause he was greasy grimy!
I had a little loon, she was very loud
Took her to a hockey game, where noises were allowed
I had a little beaver, his teeth were very long
Took him to the dentist, and he whistled a song
He went doo doo do-do, do-do-do
I'm a little Canadian animal
And I wanna sing a rock 'n' roll song
He went doo doo do-do, do-do-do
I'm a little Canadian animal
And I wanna sing a rock 'n' roll song
I had a little raccoon, his eyes were very black
Took him to the eye doctor and now he won't come back
I had a little rabbit, she was very fast
Took her to the race track and she had a blast!
I had a little goose, he was very honky
Took him to a drive-in and he honked at a donkey
I had a little eagle, her claws were very strong
Took her to the Gym, and she whistled a song!
She went doo doo do-do, do-do-do
I'm a little Canadian animal
And I wanna sing a rock 'n' roll song
She went doo doo do-do, do-do-do
I'm a little Canadian animal
And I wanna sing a rock 'n' roll song
They went doo doo do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do
doo doo do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do… doooo
doo doo do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do.
That's what they said
doo doo do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do do-do-do-do!
They went doo doo do-do, do-do-do
I'm a little Canadian animal
And I wanna sing a rock 'n' roll song
They went doo doo do-do, do-do-do
I'm a little Canadian animal
And I wanna sing a rock 'n' roll song
3. Smiley Face
There's no sense frowning
No sense being down
There's no sense dragging your feet all over town
Sometimes you'll feel sad, so if that's the case
Make a smiley Face
You can use a pencil you can use a pen
Draw it with a crayon and give it to a friend
Type one in an email, send one in a text
Make a smiley face
Make a smiley face
Scribble one with a marker or a coloured pencil
Paint one on your cheek or trace one with a stencil
Go out to the sidewalk and draw one on with chalk
And everyone'll see it when they take a walk (great idea!)
You can use a pencil you can use a pen
Draw it with a crayon and give it to a friend
Type one in an email, send one in a text
Make a smiley face
Make a smiley face
Now get a smiley sticker
and stick it on your thumb
Now make that smiley talk
and pretend it's having fun!
Everywhere I look now
smileys are all over the place
I've even got one stuck right to my face!
You can use a pencil you can use a pen
Draw it with a crayon and give it to a friend
Type one in an email, send one in a text
Make a smiley face
Make a smiley face
Make a smiley face
4. Bob the Bug
He gets up in the morning and goes outside
Waves to Mr. Spider, says hello to the fly
Get in his tiny car and goes downtown
Has a tiny a cup of coffee and looks around
He's Bob the Bug…
He's Bob the Bug…
He gets to work on time and straightens his tie
Greets the grasshopper, says hey butterfly
Works in his office 'till quarter to three
Meet's his bug buddies and then they go for ice cream
He's Bob the Bug…
He's Bob the Bug…
Everybody knows he's the coolest bug in town
The bees and the ants have fun when he's around
He likes to sing and dance and he reads lots of books
So don't judge him by his funny buggy looks
He's got a pet flea that he takes for a walk
He visits his friend the worm who lives around the block
Then he goes out for dinner with the ladybug
Then goes bowling with his two best friends; earwig and the slug
He's Bob the Bug…
He's Bob the Bug…
Is he a termite or a beetle? I can't tell
I just know when people see him they all yell…
He's Bob the Bug…
He's Bob the Bug…
5. Dinosaur In the Candy Store
I was going down to the Candy store
Ran out of jelly beans and I wanted some more
But when I got there I saw something i'd never seen before
There was a great big hole right in the front of the store!
And I looked in right through the door
I couldn't believe it! It was a dinosaur!
Dinosaur… Dinosaur in the candy store
Dinosaur… Dinosaur in the candy store
Rawr!
He was eating: Lolly pops and chocolate bars
Gummy worms and peppermints
liquorice and cinnamon hearts
lifesavers and sweet tarts
He was eating all the candy!
But at least he wasn't eating me!
I turned around and ran away
'Cause I didn't think that he wanted to play
But then I think that he saw me
Jump behind this maple tree
Cause he came out and let out a roar
Right in front of that candy store (whoa!)
Dinosaur… Dinosaur in the candy store
Dinosaur… Dinosaur in the candy store
Dinosaur… Dinosaur in the candy store
Dinosaur… Dinosaur in the candy store
…Rawr!
He looked at me right in the eye
He was one scary looking guy
Stegosaurus or Brontosaurus
No, I'm pretty sure he was a Tyrannosaurus
Just as I was about to scream
He handed me a jelly bean
Then he gave me some:
Lolly pops and chocolate bars
Gummy worms and peppermints (yum yum!)
liquorice and cinnamon hearts
lifesavers and sweet tarts
I guess I didn't need to beware
Cause the Dinosaur just wanted to share!
Dinosaur… Dinosaur in the candy store
Dinosaur… Dinosaur in the candy store
Dinosaur… Dinosaur in the candy store
Dinosaur… Dinosaur in the candy store
Dinosaur (Who'd a thunk it?)
Dinosaur in the candy store
Dinosaur (Good candy!)
Dinosaur in the candy store
Dinosaur (He's my friend now)
Dinosaur in the candy store
Dinosaur (Want a jellybean?)
Dinosaur in the candy store
…Rawr!
6. Turn That Frown Upside Down
When you can't
Keep your head up
'Cause you're lonely or you're sad
Just, think about all the good things
that make you glad
It's not just you
And it's not just me
Dreaming about all the things we all want to be
There's always hope and there's always love
for us to see
So turn that frown upside down
And I don't mean stand on your head
Show me your smile
And be happy instead
Let's all sing it together shall we?
When you can't
Keep your head up
'Cause you're lonely or you're sad
Just, think about all the good things
that make you glad
It's not just you
And it's not just me
Dreaming about all the things we all want to be
There's always hope and there's always love
for us to see
So turn that frown upside down
And I don't mean stand on your head
Show me your smile
And be happy instead
So turn that frown upside down
And I don't mean stand on your head
Show me your smile
And be happy instead
7. Coffee and Tea
Mommy likes coffee

And they both love me

9. Shine
Shine, shine, shine like the sun
Shine, shine, shine like the stars
Then fly, fly, high like a bird
Fly, away with your dreams
10. Walk in Their Shoes
Trilogy of Respect Part 1
Have you ever walked in somebody else's shoes?
Have you ever walked in somebody else's shoes?
Do you now what it means to walk in somebody else's shoes?
Have you ever walked in somebody else's shoes?
What about the boy who's shy
and nobody talks to him?
What about the girl who gets teased
'cause she doesn't fit in?
What about the one who's different
and always has the blues?
Well what if you could walk in their shoes?
What if you could walk in their shoes?
Have you ever thought someone was weird
and didn't know what to do?
But what if you could wear their shoes
and think like they do?
And what if you knew everything
that they've been through?
Well what if you could walk in their shoes?
What if you could walk in their shoes?
Shoes, sandals, slippers, sneakers,
flip flops, boots, heels, loafers?
It doesn't. matter at all
Brown, black, white, blue,
green, orange, yellow, red?
Any kind or colour, big or small
Because the shoes really aren't the point
it's to pretend we're in their place
It's to imagine that we're them
and see the person behind their face…
their face...
Well what if you could walk in their shoes?
What if you could walk in their shoes?
11. I'll Still Love You
Trilogy of Respect Part 2
Now repeat this after me too okay?
I'll still love you (repeat)
I'll still love you (repeat)
I'll still love you (repeat)
I'll still love you (repeat)
Yes we will
It doesn't matter
if you're from Canada or from Japan
It doesn't matter
if you're a baby girl or a great big man
It doesn't matter
if you can't sing or you can't dance
It doesn't matter
if you always wear fuzzy purple pants
I'll still love you (repeat)
I'll still love you (repeat)
Yes we will
It doesn't matter
if you're shy or you really like to chat
It doesn't matter
if you're tall or short, who cares about that!
It doesn't matter
if you think, lots of different thoughts
It doesn't matter
if you're black or white or blue with polkadots.
I'll still love you (repeat)
I'll still love you (repeat)
Yes we will
It doesn't matter
if you're bald, or have wavy hair
It doesn't matter
who you love, or what you want to wear
It doesn't matter
if you loose a game, or if you win a big prize
It doesn't matter
if you have eleven fingers or three eyes
(Chorus)
So the question is how do we choose to walk in other people's shoes,
And how can we love others?
Well It' it's easy.
There's this little thing called "the golden rule"
that helps me remember and it goes like this...
12. The Golden Rule
Trilogy of Respect Part 3
Treat everybo-dy
like you would want them to treat you
That is the golden rule
Love your neighbour
even when they're different than you.
That is the golden rule
When somebody needs help
you gotta show them that you care
When someone is different
you know teasing isn't fair
Respect for everyone
7, 6, 5, 4, 3 , 2, 1!
Say it, Shout it
Jump and talk about it
You know it's true
You'll feel better too!
If you...
Treat everybo-dy
like you would want them to treat you
That is the golden rule
Love your neighbour
even when they're different than you.
That is the golden rule
So there you have it: We should love and respect everybody no matter what differences they have. And we can remember how to do that by treating them the way we would want to be treated. Even if they treat us badly.
You'll be awesome possum
You'll be the bee's knees
You'll neat-o- musquito!
You'll be cool beans!
The cat's pajamas?
Okie dokie artichoke-e?
Hot diggity dog?
Okay I guess you get the point right?
You'll be cool
And awesome in school
That's pretty much the rule
If you know that you should...
Treat everybo-dy
like you would want them to treat you
That is the golden rule
Love your neighbour
even when they're different than you.
That is the golden rule
…That's the real way to be cool.
13. Twinkle Baby

15. Apples
Kids repeat every line
Pick them from a tree
Buy them from a store
Have one for a snack
Just don't eat the core
Apples, Apples, Apples
Red or Green
Wash it clean
Eat one a day
To keep the doctor away
Apples, Apples, Apples
Put them in a pancake
Eat them in slices
Bake them in a pie
With cinnamon and spices
Apples, Apples, Apples
Bite them, chew them
Peel them, stew them
Mash them, dry them
Cut them, try them
Apples
Drink them in a Juice
Or cider that's hot
Better eat them all
Before they start to rot
Apples, Apples, Apples
A P P L E S, Apples
A P P L E S, Apples
A P P L E S, Apples
A P P L E S, Apples
Apples, Apples, Apples, Apples
Apples, Apples, Apples, Apples
Apples
It sounds like we're saying "Zapples!
16. Chickens!
Guess what?
Chicken Butt!
Really? I had no idea.
Yup!
That doesn't even make sense.
No, but it's kind of funny
Is this even a song?
I don't know. It has music
Ok, well what can we sing about?
Chickens!
...
17. Superhero Reprise
He's a superhero
An everyday superhero
And you can be a superhero too
She's a superhero
An everyday superhero...
And you can be a superhero too
