Yeah, I would Run with it But then I'd drop it on the ground when I was Done with it I never Took it back to the place I had BeGun with it Looking back, at the time I didn't mind it Until somehow I couldn't find it Yeah, I was looking through my couch and then Behind it And then that's when I was Reminded...that chorus These days, I Don't leave My stuff on the floor Instead, I Put it Right back, in the drawer This way, I'm Not Forced to go buy more And be Spending all my Hard-earned Money at the store So Now, you think my Life is better? yes or No? Looking for Something there's no Searching, I already know But that's not all, now There's less clutter, it's much Cleaner so I'm always going to put things back where they go. chorus Sometimes I Come across a Mess that isn't mine. And If I'm Asked to clean it up, I won't comPlain or whine Cuz In the Past someOne else had to clean a Mess of mine so this time I'll clean it Up and make it Pretty, make it Shine! Sometimes I come across a dirty looking mirror I like to wipe it down until the image becomes clear And if I find a piece trash, I pick it up. you hear? Cuz everywhere I go I want them to be Glad that I was here!

One more bug 03:41
We had an assignment...Pick bugs up off the floor I thought that we had gotten them all. But I think I might see one more...yup One more bug to pick up off the floor. Oh buggy buggy bug I think I see one more! This one's lying right beside my shoe. One bug plus one bug that equals TWO Two dead bugs to pick up off the floor. Oh buggy buggy bug I think I see one more! How many dead buggies would that be? Two bugs plus one bug that equals THREE. Three dead bugs to pick up off the floor. Oh buggy buggy bug I think I see one more! That's all the bugs to pick up off the floor. I’m pretty sure we won’t see any more. Let’s throw those buggies in the garbage can. Since we touched the bugs we better wash our hands. Wait, I see two buggies on the floor. Oh buggy buggy bugs I think I see two more! Why did I not see those bugs before? Two bugs plus two bugs that equals FOUR. Four dead bugs to pick up off the floor. Oh buggy buggy bugs I think I see two more! Those two are lying over by the bricks. Four bugs plus two bugs that equals SIX. That's all the bugs to pick up off the floor. I’m pretty sure we won’t see any more. Throw those buggies in the garbage can. Since we touched the bugs we better wash our hands. Scrub for twenty seconds. To help us we will count. If twenty is too difficult we'll do half that amount 12345 67 8910 That sounded. excellent! Let's do that again. 12345 67 8910 One way to get twenty Add up ten plus ten Wait, I see three buggies on the floor. Oh buggy buggy bugs I think I see three more! Man those buggies and their buggy tricks! Three bugs plus three bugs that equals SIX. Six dead bugs to pick up off the floor. Oh buggy buggy bugs I think I see three more! If there's no others I'd be just fine. Six bugs plus three bugs that equals NINE. That's all the bugs to pick up off the floor. I don't think that I see any more! Let’s throw those buggies in the garbage can. Since we touched the bugs we better wash our hands.

Clean it up! 04:56
Sitting with my sandwich eating quietly I see something I’m trying to ignore. As I was reaching for my glass of chocolate milk, I accidently spilled some on the floor. I know the mess is mine But I think it will be fine I’ll leave the mess on the floor that’s what my parents are for but I know in the back of my mind It’s my mess. I need to clean it up. I made it that’s true It’s my mess. I need to clean it up. I know what I’ve got to do. Clean it up! 5X I just finished playing with my building blocks And now I want to play with something new. I really want to leave this mess for someone else but I was told, “Pick up when you are through.” I know the mess is mine But I think it will be fine I’ll leave the mess on the floor I’ll say it was there before But I know in the back of my mind It’s my mess. I need to clean it up. I made it that’s true It’s my mess. I need to clean it up. I know what I’ve got to do. Clean it up! 5X Working in the garden with my mom and dad pulling weeds and planting flowers too. There’s a lot of work that goes into this job And you know we’re going to clean up when we’re through There’s a shovel, rake, and hoe And I know just where they go And it’s not there on the ground we’ll put them back where we found them, cuz by now this is something we know It’s our mess. We need to clean it up. We made it that’s true It’s our mess. We need to clean it up. We know what we’ve got to do. Clean it up! 5X I just ate and played and worked and cleaned it up And now it’s almost time to go to bed. My parents said to take a shower before I sleep But I just want to sleep like this instead I know my sheets are clean And my mess might make them green but right now I just don’t care Just give me my teddy bear But I know in the back of my mind I’m dirty. I need to take a shower And use some shampoo My body is very dirty. Yup! And so I know what I’ve got to do… Clean it up! 5X

Spider song 01:57
I saw a spider just this afternoon It was walking in the locker room and I squished it with my fingers in a paper towel and I threw it in a trash can and said, “Stay here for now.” Spiders are very obedient when they’re dead If you ask them to do nothing or not to move their head But if you tried to get them to spin another web they probably won’t (Why not?) Because they’re dead. I saw a spider Just this afternoon It was walking in the locker room And I massaged it with my fingers. I can show you how. And I placed it gently in a spider bed and said, “Stay here for now.” Spiders are very obedient when asleep If you ask them to do nothing or not to make a peep But if you tried to get them to spin a web or leap they probably won’t (Why not?) Cuz they’re asleep.

Oops! I broke another tooth! I guess I should have brushed and flossed them. Oops! I'm thinking if I did, maybe then I wouldn't have lost them. At first it was a piece of food Stuck between from being chewed. And If you want to know the truth It started eating at my tooth. Just like a vicious hungry mammal It chewed a hole in my enamel. And like a greedy gopher digger It made the hole grow even bigger. Oops! I broke another tooth! I guess I should have brushed and flossed them. Oops! I'm thinking if I did, maybe then I wouldn't have lost them. Quite big the hole had finally gotten So my tooth was really rotten Anything could make it break And I had a toothy ache It happened just the other night When I went to take a bite I felt a crunch and heard a crack Now there's one more tooth I lack. Oops! I broke another tooth! I guess I should have brushed and flossed them. Oops! I'm thinking if I did, maybe then I wouldn't have lost them. I'm thinking that my dentist must have really meant this When he said to brush and floss them. I'm thinking that my dentist must have really meant this When he said to brush and floss them. Oops! I broke another tooth! I guess I should have brushed and flossed them. Oops! I'm thinking if I did, maybe then I wouldn't have lost them.
