Moon Boots 02:20
MOON BOOTS CHORUS: Moon Boots, alright Mama got me a pair of moon boots and I'm taking flight Take flight in your moon boots alright Mama got me a pair of moon boots For playin' when it's cold outside I love my new moon boots and I just can't let it hide Well now, they keep my footsies cozy When I'm out playin' in the snow Sometimes I wear ‘em when I got no place to go CHORUS I like to wear my moonboots when I pretend to be an astronaut The couch is my rocket and the boosters are getting hot I'm in blast off position My moon boots perched above my head The controls are lighting up in a flurry of green and red 10-9-8-7-6, 5-4-3-2-1 Let's have some fun CHORUS

Jet Pack 02:38
JET PACK In the morning I get out of bed to put a helmet on my head Time for a quick bite before I'm taking flight With my red… Jet! Pack! I'm known up and down Maple Street As the kid who can't stay on his feet Just give me a shout, I'm ready to help out With my red… Jet! Pack! Oh whoa whoa, Up up I will go Today there is nothing to keep me on down on the ground I rescued a cat from a tree and threw down a purple Frisbee Ms. Nelson's clothesline is now hanging just fine Thanks to my… Jet! Pack! Oh whoa whoa… The scared boy at the top of the slide Flown right down to his mommy's side Just give me a shout, I'm ready to help out With my red… Jet! Pack! Oh whoa whoa… I've got my J-E-T, P-A-C-K with me

Science Fair 02:20
CHORUS: Today is the Science Fair They're coming by the hordes with their presentation boards Today is the Science Fair All the students in the first, second, and third grades Are filling up the auditorium with the science projects that they made Baking soda and vinegar volcanoes spew We've got fungus among us, forces and motion and an insect petting zoo CHORUS I made a comet with a little help from Mom and Dad Dry ice and water and some corn syrup, ammonia and a little sand I can't wait to share my comet at school Catch it moving wicked fast from solid to gas with a tail that's super cool CHORUS Jack: And we're back. Mrs. Flannigan's fourth grade Science competition. Daron: Well uh last year we saw a lot of great volcanoes… Jack: Oh just a minute there Chet, here comes our first entry, It's little Tommy O' Doyle's baking soda and vinegar volcano! Daron: Just like I predicted. Jack: And what's this? A troop of piano playing fleas? Daron: Apparently they're very trainable. Jack: Oh, but now here's fourth grader Sally Oglethorpe and her broccoli-powered bicycle! CHORUS

Ukulalien 02:27
UKULALIEN Once a little UFO crashed in the sea It landed near some islands named Hawaii The alien got pulled down by the undertow Toward a soothing sound from the rainbow reef below It was a ukulele, little alien A tiny humu-humu fish strummed happily It snorted sand, "Let's start a band, Come play with me" "I need a ukulele," Said the alien The humu-humu-nuku-nuku apu'a Had an extra at home made by her papa They jammed together making waves and foamy foam Then the alien started to miss its' home The little fish made a fix on the UFO Then set it on an underwater volcano Take this ukulele, little alien! Thank you said the alien, now please take care The eruption shot the ship back the air There goes the ukulele, Ukualien

MY BROTHER IS A SATELLITE CHORUS: Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh, Ra-Ra-Ra-Ra-Ra-Ra-Ra round he goes My brother is a satellite My little brother is three years younger than me We're pulled together by some strong sibling gravity Mom says his imitation is a form of adoration I don't see the correlation, my brother is a satellite CHORUS Sometimes I like to have my best friend over My brother tracks us like a Martian land rover Follows us up the stairs and follows us down the stairs, Sometimes just sits and stairs, my brother is a satellite CHORUS And when he's in my orbit I really can't ignore it I'm sure there's bound to be a different trajectory for him And if that day comes soon I might even miss My little moon My Brother is a satellite

BEAT-BOX-A-ROBOT There was an old robot that swallowed a drum I think I know why it swallowed that drum It gobbled a drum straight in to its' tum I got the feeling it had only begun It was a Beatbox-a-Robot It swallowed a snare right out of the air Chomped it down without a care Opened its' mouth gave me quite a scare There was a drumming sound from way down in there It was a Beatbox-a-Robot It swallowed a hi-hat to add to the beat This drum-chewing robot sure liked to eat The hi-hat it hit on the one and the three I felt a dance build up inside me It still had room it added some boom A big bass drum went in with a zoom It opened its' mouth, all I could do was stare I heard big bass, hi-hat and a snare That old robot had room for more The tom-toms from the rack and the floor The cymbals went too, the ride and the crash It's opened its' mouth with a deafening smash Blips and beeps from the sampler nearby Were gulped instantly, I saw it no lie! Two turntables gone, a microphone too Right down the hatch, here it's playing for you It was a Beatbox-a-Robot

Sunglasses 02:57
SUNGLASSES Summertime is here and we are headed to the beach We'll leave our turf for sand and surf, It's almost within reach We're packing up the minivan , dad says he's almost done Just one more load and hit the road, we're soaking up some sun Hey now everyone, Here comes, he comes, here comes the sun We pull out of the driveway to our family's favorite song The one with all the sha-la-las, I love to sing along The hours pass with tic tac toe and counting license plates I think we've logged a million miles And thirty-seven states The trip just melts away when pull up at the spot It's everything I've dreamt about and wonderfully hot I put my swimsuit on so I can dive into the sea But first mom grabs the sun block and completely covers me Dad takes me out wave jumping and I hold on oh so tight I barely touch the bottom but I leap with all my might We catch a rocket ride that carries us back To the shore Just to paddle out again and jump and play some more Whatcha gonna wear now? (-MayMo) What you got in your pocket? (-The Harmonica Pocket) I'm going outside but I can't find my… (-Caspar Babypants) Whoops somebody sat right on my… (-Johnny Bregar) I can't hear you (-Eric Ode) It's cloudy but I still need my… (-The Not-Its!) (Sniff) What's for dinner? (-Gustafer Yellowgold)

SPACE ELEVATOR MUSIC JACK: Mayor Monkey. Is this an elevator in the middle of our album? MAYOR MONKEY: Yeah, it is an elevator. A Space elevator! JACK: Why is there an elevator here? MAYOR MONKEY: It's an innovation! Taking people from the earth all the way to the stars! In 50 yrs, there'll be a space elevator in every home! JACK: OK. But Maymo it's not 50 yrs from now. Ah, why is the Space Elevator in the middle of this album. MAYOR MONKEY: Well I had an idea. You know it's going to be a long journey. They're going to need some soothing music along the way. They'll need some elevator music.No wait, they're gonna need some space…elevator music. And that, that's just what this is behind us. JACK: Maymo, I don't really know about this. MAYOR MONKEY: Ah, I worked on this while you guys were out in the studio. Ahh, I just played around on the keys a little bit. Oh yeah, pretty funky, huh-huh-ho! Well anyway, so I was thinking. You know as a new business adventure for Recess Monkey, you boys should play this kind of music, whadd'ya think? JACK: Well I mean we just made this album. This Final Funktier, that… people are listening to right now. I, I, we're really not due for another album for at least three or four weeks. MAYOR MONKEY: You don't need to make a… album. You're gonna play right here in the elevator! JACK: Here? You, you want us to actually play here, in the elevator? MAYOR MONKEY: Yeah! Live! Live music in an elevator! People will love it! JACK: Mayor Monkey, it.. it's going to take at least 12 hrs to get all the way up into space. MAYOR MONKEY: No, it's great! You'll love it. Hey, anyway you can live here too. It's pretty nice. Uh, I went ahead and rented out your rooms. JACK: Wait! What,wha. You rented out our rooms? Are you kidding? MAYOR MONKEY: You have this beautiful space elevator to live in now? It's gorgeous! JACK: I can't believe you would do that without … Hey, hey Drew! DREW: Yeah? JACK: Drew, Mayor Monkey rented out our rooms! DREW: What? JACK: Yeah! Yeah, he said that he wants us to live in the Space Elevator! DREW: He what? JACK: I know! DREW: Yeah whatever. JACK: It's ridiculous!

THE GALAX SEA Do you ever wonder what's on the other side of the galaxy? CHORUS: Galaxy, Float on the galaxy I'm getting lost just sailing across the galaxy I dreamt a magic space boat Filled it sails with interstellar stardust Powder blue, Octane 392 I took off in a flash and out of view To boldly go where no one's ever I'll send photon-graphs and light-speed letters too I'll send them to you Warping time and space, a galactic racing crew CHORUS The Milky Way is like a river When I zoom past it gives a shiver ooh I'm sending ripples through Great balls of fire, an astral flier's view CHORUS Do you ever wonder what's on the other side of the galaxy?

Booster Seat 01:53
BOOSTER SEAT I'm not a toddler, not any more I'm 42 lbs and half past four So much I do, all by myself Getting dressed and reaching the top shelf Booster Seat, I'm in the car now Booster Seat, We're taking off now Booster Rocket Rocket Booster seat When I'm at school with all my crew I'm always learning something that's new I'm using scissors, not on my hair Taking turns and playing fair I like pretending I'm out in space Blast from the Earth without a trace Right off our driveway, up to a star I know someday I'll go real far

HOW DO YOU BUILD A ROBOT How do you build a robot? I really want to know A robot that can fly with eyes that glow How do you build a robot? I'd like to understand I've been checking out some books and drawing plans CHORUS: My own robot that would be so cool Flying all the way to school All the things that we could play We'll talk the robot way I found a box of wires and six or seven springs A flashlight and a jar of red sequins I'm allowed to use the trashcan, the metal one that's in the yard I'm attaching all the parts, it's not that hard CHORUS I really built a robot, it's taller than my dad I'm finishing some work on its' launching pad

CONSTELLATION CONGA Every night, when the sky's a blackish hue The constellation conga line comes through I wish, wish upon a star so true When the constellation conga line comes through It's dancin through, through, through A constellation is a section Of the night sky's starry shapes In view, a dragon and a big bear too When the constellation conga line comes through I wish, wish upon a star so true When the constellation conga line comes through It's dancin through, through, through I see a dog star and a lion Watch a winged horse come and go There's a hunter named Orion With a belt of three in a row A constellation is a section Of the night sky's starry shapes

BLACK HOLE IN MY ROOM There's a black hole in my room There is a place somewhere in my space Where things just disappear into a hole as black as can be With a gripping, great, gobbling gravity My black hole is a tiny spot of doom Pulling in the stuff that's in my room It's not misplaced, just eaten you see By that gripping, great, gobbling gravity There's a black hole in my room Missing items have brought me to tears A stuffy I ain't seen in years 15 lost socks, an old candy bar, Half the homework I've gotten this year so far So much I've lost, I'm feeling the shame Mom thinks a messy room's to blame But I swear. please beware, tread with care Or you might find yourself fallin' way down in there There's a black hole in my room

ONE TINY LIGHT One tiny light twinkled in the sky with all its' might One tiny light tapped upon my window late at night I got up out of bed to hear what the star said It whispered me the secret of the sky One tiny light danced around my curtains, A wondrous flight One tiny light landed on my floor and shone so bright I got up out of bed to hear what the star said It whispered me the secret of the sky You spring to life so easily You are the seed of the galaxy You shine light inside of me One tiny light landed on my floor and shone so bright
