IN A CLANKABANG TREE
by Mick McArt and Chuck Bailey
In a Clankabang Tree
it's too noisy for bee's
or for a dolly with tea
look up and you'll see
Chorus
In a Clankabang Tree, there's rattling leaves
so sing loud as you please,and even warble off key
Cuz’ in a Clankabang Tree, you can rustle the leaves
by singing loud as you please, and even warble off key
In a Clankabang Tree
there's no time for Zzzz's
or quiet moments of ease
listening for the breeze
Chorus
Break
An acorn will grow into a mighty oak
but a Clankabang will just wake your folks
so be careful where you plant the seeds
or you'll wish it grew earplugs for leaves (leaves...)
Chorus
In a Clankabang Tree, there's rattling leaves
so sing loud as you please,and even warble off key
Cuz’ in a Clankabang Tree, you can rustle the leaves
by singing loud as you please, and finally warble on key
WELCOME TO WORDISHURE
by Mick McArt and Chuck Bailey
Welcome to Wordishure, feel the grass beneath your feet
wave up above, to the God of love, from a fort built in a tree
Hear the bell ring, on Fellowship, be careful not to squeak
hear the lullaby, from the birds that fly, then sounds of Revelly
Chorus
Big or small you'll be ten feet tall
sing along with melody
balloons will fly into the sky
count your blessings and you'll be
in Wordishure, where His Word is sure,
oh His Word is sure, in Wordishure, so come along with me
Pack your bags, invite your friends and don't forget to pray
Grab a pail, walk down the trail and explore a lion's cave
Hide your hats, find the cat, hear bugs chatter over tea
and notes will fly into the sky, cross a bridge that's rickety
Chorus
Big or small you'll be ten feet tall
sing along with melody
balloons will fly into the sky
count your blessings and you'll be
in Wordishure, where His Word is sure,
oh His Word is sure, in Wordishure, so come along with me
HOW DO YOU HUG A PORCUPINE?
by Mick McArt and Chuck Bailey
Chorus
How do you hug a porcupine?
Cautiously my friend, every time
You might get the point if you're not careful
but isn't a friend worth all the trouble?
You'd never put your socks on over your shoes
because tying them would be hard to do
and you should never count all your sheep
there's a good chance you'll fall asleep
Would you bake a pie inside your hat?
You'd never wear it without a splat
Chorus
Break:
No matter what you choose
be a friend that is true
porcupines need hugs too
just don't be holding a balloon...
You shouldn't whistle while you're chewing gum
it might float away with your song
Or plant flowers in your ears
if you did, how would you hear?
All these things are silly true
but what if the porcupine was you?
Chorus
FELLOWSHIP'S WAKE
by Mick McArt and Chuck Bailey
Good mornin' world, good mornin' friends, good morning rise and shine
It's time to ring the bell above and invite who we can find
All aboard, let's get on board, to the ship about to sail
the currents strong, so come along, and hear our Savior's tale
Chorus
Stir the water, make a splash, dip your feet, or make a wave
hearts are touched and that means so much when they break
lend a hand, be a friend, offer up your seat
'leave the shore, grab your oar, and stir up Fellowship Wake
Sing a song, we'll sing along, sing glory to the Lord
This boat floats, on joy and hope, and sureness of His Word
Pick a game, let's play a game, pretend you are a bee
buzz around, flying up and down, picking clover leafs
Chorus
Break
There's a dock that's leads up to the ship, but narrow is way
a rainbow shines across the sky as music starts to play
it's time to run and have some fun, to gather at the bay
neighbors come from all around to shout and sing and praise!
Chorus
UP TUMBLEDOWN
by Mick McArt and Chuck Bailey
There's a light that's shining o'er your head to help you find what's lost
and before you stop to spin again, pick a stone to skip across
Take a peak before you leap, and never swim too far
you'll find yourself far away, looking through a glowing jar
Chorus
Up Tumbledown, spinning around
throw your arms up, and roll on the ground
Down Tumbledown, is where we'll be found
stand yourself up, and hop all around
Take a leap up from your lilypad, and join up with your friends
someone's basket may be bare, help them fill it up again
The view is grand so clap your hands, and count off one-two-three
shout your name echoes back the same, so roll on down again
Time to whistle!
Chorus
UNDER SLEEPING WILLOWS
by Mick McArt and Chuck Bailey
Under sleeping willows fly, little birds with lullabies
grab a blanket, lay it down, stirring leaves upon the ground
Under sleeping willows pray with friends who are from far away
who need to rest before they play, so say goodnight with a wave
Chorus
Dawn may break into the day but to find a dream is just a nap away
so stretch your arms and rub your eyes and drift away to paradise
Under sleeping willows dream of fallling leaves and sunlight beams
bafefoot to the lake we go, don't cause a wake if you dip toe
Under sleeping willows lie, many friends with shuttered eyes
no more games and hushing pleas, now it's time to go to sleep
Chorus
