TEMPO 102 KEY OF C

Peanut butter sticks to the roof of your mouth, but I don't

You can get down off the back of a duck but I won't

I'd like to hitchhike or ride a bike

But I'm not dumb, I have no thumb,

To ring the bell so oh well

I'm afraid of a mouse

And when I sit around the house....

I sit around the house

What time is it? Time to get a new house!

I try out smartin' these kids from kindergarten

With binoculars, tweezers and milk cartons

I paint my toes red to hide in the cherries

Away from kids like them Wild Thornberries

I paint my feet yellow to hide in the custard

They look in the mustard and get all flustered

They check the bananas, the plums and the grapes

But my footprints in the butter give me away

My friends all chide me for the color of my sneakers

When I stamp out flaming ducks, hey that one's a squeaker

What time is it? Time to get a new duck!

I hide in the glove box and think its super

When my friends take a ride in a Mini Cooper

We used to charge through stores and backyards

Till someone took away my credit cards

I'm sick of living life in the jokes I'm in

I want to start over and begin again

On the chicken's day off I want to cross the road

I want to trade places with the kissing toad

Walk into a bar with a rabbi and priest

I know that they would expect that least

Got some soup? I want to do the backstroke

What time is it? Time to get some new jokes!

Hey grasshopper! Outta my way!

Hey duck! Outta my way!

Hey ant! Yeah, ant! Outta my way!
