It rolled in the garden and under a bush,<br />
And then my poor meatball was nothing but mush.<br />
The mush was as tasty as tasty could be,<br />
And then the next summer it grew into a tree.<br />
The tree was all covered all covered with moss,<br />
And on it grew meatballs and tomato sauce.<br />
So if you eat spaghetti all covered with cheese,<br />
Hold on to your meatball whenever you sneeze.<br />
Ooey-Gooey<br />
Ooey Gooey was a worm<br />
A mighty worm was he,<br />
He sat upon a railroad track<br />
A train he did not see.<br />
OOEY GOOEY<br />
Peanut Sat on a Railroad Track<br />
Oh! A peanut sat on a railroad track ‘<br />
His heart was all a flutter<br />
Along came the six-fifteen (Toot-toot)<br />
Peanut butter!<br />
Pink Pajamas<br />
Tune: “Battle Hymn of the Republic”<br />
I wear my pink pajamas in the summer when it’s hot.<br />
I wear my flannel nighties in the winter when it’s not.<br />
And sometimes in the springtime<br />
and sometimes in the fall,<br />
I jump right in between the sheets with nothing on at all.<br />
CHORUS<br />
Glory, glory, Hallelujah;<br />
Glory, glory, What’s it to you?<br />
Balmy breezes blowing through ya,<br />
With nothing on at all.<br />

Leader: Have I got it on my chin?<br />
All: Yes, you have it on your chin.<br />
Leader: On my chin?<br />
All: On your chin.<br />
OH-h-h-h Ravioli,<br />
I like ravioli. Ravioli,<br />
It’s the best for me.<br />

Russel Road<br />

Words by: Chauncey Niziol<br />
Almost Heaven, White River,<br />
Blue Trail, <strong>Owasippe</strong> Grave Markers.<br />
Life is older, Older than the trees,<br />
Younger than a Boy Scout peeing in the breeze.<br />
CHORUS<br />
Russell Road, Take me home, to the land I belong<br />
West of Whitehall, North of Holton,<br />
take me home, Russell Road.<br />
Riding down the road I hear the radio it’s calling me<br />
KSI598 Mobile 8 where are you?<br />
Riding now I get the feeling that I should have been<br />
home<br />
hours ago,…days ago.<br />
