Tu B'Shvat Is Here (Song of Jewish Arbor Day)
The almond tree is growing
A golden sun is glowing
The birds sing out in joyous glee
From every roof and every tree
Let's make the land a garden
With water from the Jordan
And our land will flow once more
With milk and honey as of yore
Tu B'Shvat is here
The Jewish Arbor Day
Hail the trees' New Year
Happy Holiday

Pink Pajamas
I wear my pink pajamas in the summer when it's hot.
I wear my pink pajamas in the winiter when it's not.
And sometimes in the springtime and sometimes in the fall
I slip between the sheets with nothing on at all.
Chorus
Glory, Glory what's it to you
Glory, Glory what's it to you
Glory, Glory what's it to you
If I slip between the sheets with nothing on at all.

Fall Song
Come little leaves, said the wind one day
Come over the meadows with me and play;
Put on your dresses of red and gold
Summer is gone and the days grow cold.
Soon as the leaves heard the wind's wild call
Down they came fluttering -- one and all;
Over the bright fields they danced and flew
Singing the sad little song they knew.

If there is no answer
Give me back my dime

Classroom is a cell
Teacher is a warden
She can go to
Hello operator: Repeat

There was a piece of glass
Lulu fell upon it
And fell right upon her
Ask me no more questions
I'll tell you no lies
Cause that's all she told me
Before she went to

I went downtown to see Miss Brown.
She gave me a nickel to buy me a pickle.
The pickle was sour so I bought a flower.
The flower was dead so I bought some thread.
The thread was thin so I bought a pin.
The pin was sharp so I bought a harp and on that harp I played
"I like coffee I like tea, I like the boys and boys like me."
