Chugga Chugga Choo Choo Train 02:59

Chugga Chugga Choo Choo Train Come on let's ride this train today Hurry up, come on, without delay Come on let's ride this train away Double time, pick it up, no time to play It's got a little red caboose Cowcatcher, or maybe a moose I trust these coach cars won't come loose All aboard, this train is ready to go Watch your step, take care, don't stump your toe All aboard, can't you hear that whistle blow Down the isle, find your seat, the very next row The conductor will come by soon He'll be whistling a happy tune And announce that lunch is served at noon Chorus Chugga chugga choo choo train Chugga chugga choo choo train Coming down the tracks again, choo choo train All aboard Pretty soon the city is left behind No schools, no factories, places to dine Grain fields and cows of every kind The numbers and colors just blow my mind Listen to that clickety clack Steel wheels against the track We may just never be going back But too soon it's over and home we go It was a super traveling show Could be my best ride, I think it's so Such sights and sounds, so little dough Goodbye Mr. Engineer Your pride in your train is clear For a great job let's all give a cheer Chorus (at end) "Moosecatcher, that's ridiculous"

Anything You Dare The air is filled with butterflies You offer up your hand A thousand floating butterflies Perhaps a place to land And now you are a butterfly Dancing in the air And you can do most anything Anything you dare Anything you dare

A Bee That Had No Buzz 02:43
lyrics

A Bee That Had No Buzz Once I heard there was A bee that had no buzz Now what could a buzzless bee do Well if you thought a buzz Could be all a bee was Just watch this buzzless be fly He flies from flower to flower Hour after hour Doesn't seem to have a care Though he flies without a sound Some distance from the ground Oh what a happy buzzless bee is he Chorus May I remind you If you have a mind to You can be this happy too If you choose to be You too can be As happy as a buzzless bee When his wings he employs He never hears a noise Because he has no buzz No matter sun or showers He still can smell the flowers And that is reason to sing Don't dwell on what might be Some day you may thank me For giving such good advice Like a happy buzzless bee Just be all you can be Delight in the wonder that is you Chorus

You've Got Magic Hocus Pocus, Mumbo Jumbo, no Abracadabra, or Alacazam No, no, no, Hocus Pocus, Mumbo Jumbo, no Abracadabra, or Alacazam 'Cause you've got magic Oh such magic There's magic in your smile And it's tragic Oh so tragic Some people never learned how to smile (let's show 'em how) Turn a Frown Upside down And you get a smile Chorus You've got a smile A great big beautiful smile that spreads a mile or more I think it's the thing about you that I most adore There's magic believe me, there's magic in what you do 'Cause when you smile the whole world smiles right back at you And you don't need...(repeat from beginning)

Elvis 02:31
lyrics

Elvis I have an old hound dog He wears a sad face His tongue and his ears Flop all over the place He sleeps all night long And rests through the day Stays close to home Doesn't have much to say Chorus I say, Come on ol' boy Let's go down to the pond He opens one eye But his feet don't respond Squirrels scamper by Right in front of his nose But he doesn't budge Doesn't care I suppose He's got droopy eyes And his skin doesn't fit He shakes in his sleep And he snores quit a bit He hangs out all day Doesn't work for his keep And after he eats He just lies in a heap Chorus One day he'll be gone And I guess I won't care No more in my way Sleeping under my chair I'll throw out his dog dish Get rid of his house I'll have no more pets No, not even a mouse Chorus I once had a hound dog He chewed up my shoes Destroyed my papers Cared not for the news I guess I must say, though When all's said and done Having a hound dog Can sometimes be fun

Sing Me A Song Some nights when the wind blows I snuggle up and cover my nose Hey ho nobody knows What I'll be dreaming when my eyes close Chorus When I grow up I will be Much like you but more like me I'll sing to my kids Like you sing to me Sing me a song that I know One about people and places I'll go Sing me all of the words Don't skip a single word that I've heard Chorus When you finish my song I'll be too sleepy to sing along Kiss me and tuck me in tight And I'll go a'dreaming 'till morning light Chorus

The Man In The Moon 03:20

The Man In The Moon Chorus The Man in the moon Whistles a tune Watching the starry sky He looks here and there He looks everywhere Nothing escapes his eye (last chorus) Nothing escapes his eye, Sleep tight now, beddy bye When I'm asleep I dream me to the moon So I can visit the Man He confesses he can't stand blue cheese Says it just makes him wheeze Chorus (different) He looks up and down, he looks all around.. He points out the planets, a comet or two The earth, so beautifully blue We dine on the view, a celestial stew Quite the gourmet menu Chorus (different) He looks up and down, he looks all around... Bouncing and leaping from crater to dune No sounds but such sights to see Thanks to the gravity here on the moon There's just one sixth of me I awake rubbing moon dust from my eye I forget if I told him goodbye What a blast I had with the Man in the moon Sure hope I can go back real soon Chorus (final only) He looks left and right, he looks day and night... He looks near and far, to the most distant star...

I Can't Help But Sing Frogs have to croak, dogs got to bark Fish must swim and I can't help but sing Pigs got to squeal, snakes have to slide Birds must fly and I can't help but sing Chorus Sing about the world all around me Sing about the universe above Sing about the puzzles that confound me Sing about the people that I love Boats' made to float, planes s'posed to fly Trains must roll and I can't help but sing Rain has to fall, tide's got to turn Dawn must break, and I can't help but sing Chorus (repeat first verse) Chorus

More Than Eyes Can See Sitting right here Quiet as a mouse Quieter than dust In the corner of my house, I am Sitting real still Closing my eyes I can't be seen 'Cause I have disappeared from view I can't see the clock Its hands must still turn Who knows how long I can sit this still without moving Chorus Seeing is believing I have heard it said I believe in listening There's more than eyes can see It's quiet in here I think I could Hear a pin drop Why I think I could hear a tear drop Listening for sounds I hear my heart Pumping my blood From my head down to my toes and back I'm happy inside I think I feel A smile on my face I can even feel you smiling too Chorus

Zoom Zoom Zoom 02:38
lyrics

Zoom Zoom Zoom My airplane's not so fast And it can't go too far But I do much prefer it To my earth-bound car I can't begin to tell you Why I feel this way I only know that in my plane I just get carried away Chorus And I go zoom, zoom, zoom As I wear a great big smile Cut my engine back And I coast for a while And I go zoom, zoom, zoom Up where the eagles fly There's nothing so fun, seems to me As playing in the sky My airplane has an engine And a twisted prop And I can fly near half the day As long as they don't stop The wind beneath the wings above me Keeps me in the air As long as I have altitude I haven't got a care Chorus My airplane has just one seat So I must fly alone But being by yourself's OK When you feel right at home My next plane will have seats for two So I can share the joy Of flying in the skies of blue In my grown up toy Chorus

about

This album is my first and is the culmination of my efforts to get a number of songs I have written over the years recorded. The album title track, Zoom Zoom Zoom, is an expression of the joy I get from flying my own homebuilt airplane. The other songs on this album are more of my positive view of the world and the magic of looking at it through the eyes of a child. Maybe they will bring some joy to you as well.
(Click on the individual song titles for track liner notes, artwork and lyrics, or click the arrows to play the songs and or whole album.)

The title track Zoom Zoom Zoom inspired a children's book that I wrote, illustrated and published in 2010. Find it here: www.blurb.com/b/1584218-zoom-zoom-zoom

William Morris (aka Lanny) Lambdin image

William Morris (aka Lanny) Lambdin Amherst, Virginia

I grew up in a house that was always filled with music, from opera and hymns to musicals and the symphonies of the classical composers. As a consequence, my head has always been full of tunes and my song-writing has flowed from that wealth of music as well as the rock and blues I have gravitated to as an adult. My inner child stays close by, so my creations are mostly for kids - of all ages. ... more
