Review Parent's Choice Gold Award PEEK-A-BOO! Hap Palmer. Hap-Pal Music, HP95 Ages 2-4 In boogie-woogie and country style, in Dixieland and merry-go-round rhythms, singer/songwriter Hap Palmer celebrates little ones' joy at jumping up and down because it's Just Fun, putting on shoes without any help, clapping hands, and playing peek-a-boo. The songs also serve as good-humored reminders to parents that for babies, life is a seemingly endless series of 'firsts.' Never sappy or trite, these charming songs of childhood are among Palmer's best.

Lyrics Gettin' Up Time Words and Music: Hap Palmer Baby's cryin' in the bassinet Wakin' up hungry, cold and wet Waa, waa, waa, waa, waa It's Gettin' Up Time! Birdies in the nest go 'Tweet, tweet, tweet' Callin' for a wiggly worm to eat Tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet It's Gettin' Up Time! Puppies in a basket bark and bay Wakin' the house at the break of day Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof It's Gettin' Up Time! Furry little kittens all join in now Callin' their mommy with a sweet 'Meow' Meeeoooow It's Gettin' Up Time! Calves in the field are hungry too They greet the dawn with a 'Moo, moo, moo' Moo, moo, moo, moo, moo It's Gettin' Up Time! Frisky little colts roll up and say, 'Neigh, neigh let's start the day' Neigh, neigh, neigh, neigh It's Gettin' Up Time! Peep, peep, peep, baby chicks all need Just a little dab of chicken feed Peep, peep, peep, peep, peep It's Gettin' Up Time! Ducklings in the pond say 'Quack, quack, quack' As they go searchin' for a sunrise snack Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack It's Gettin' Up Time! Piglets in the pigpen grunt and squeal Then snuggle up to mommy for a morning meal Grunt, oink, snort, eeee It's Gettin' Up Time! Hungry babies of every kind Wake up sayin' 'It's breakfast time' Waah! Tweet, tweet! Woof! Meow! Moo! Neigh! Peep, peep! Quack, quack! Grunt, oink, snort, eeee It's Gettin' Up Time! It's Gettin' Up Time!

Gettin' so excited she's about to burst Think I know why it's so Everything is baby's first Baby's first ball, Baby's first doll Baby's first bottle, Baby's first rattle Baby's first stuffed bear, Baby's first highchair, Baby's first tub bath, Baby's first photograph Repeat Chorus: It's a bright new world of sights and sounds Baby wants to see it can't keep her down Crawlin' on the floor and everywhere explorin' Baby loves to move around Baby's first steps, Baby's first pets Baby's first bubbles, Baby's first scribbles Baby's first pickle, Baby's first tickle Baby's first coos, Baby's first pair of shoes Repeat Chorus: My Mommy Comes Back Words: Martha Cheney and Hap Palmer Music: Hap Palmer Sometimes my mommy takes me over To another friends house to play Sometimes I only stay a little while Sometimes I stay all day, but Chorus: My mommy comes back She always comes back She always comes back to get me My mommy comes back She always comes back She never would forget me Sometimes I worry when she leaves me I hope she won't be gone too long But when I'm with my friends and having fun I soon forget she's gone, and Repeat Chorus: Sometimes I visit with my grandma While my mommy goes somewhere We bake some cookies and we read a book And rock in the rocking chair, and Repeat Chorus: Don't Wash My Blanket Words: Martha Cheney and Hap Palmer Music: Hap Palmer Chorus: Don't wash my blanket, don't take it away I want to drag it around while I play To me it's okay dirty and gray Please don't wash my blanket today I might get lonely, I might get scared I need to know that my blanket is there, so Repeat Chorus: I might get angry, I might cry I need to know that my blanket's nearby Repeat Chorus: Peek-A-Boo Words and Music: Hap Palmer Where is Sheila, where could she be? She was here a moment ago Where is Sheila, where could she be? We've been looking high and low Is she there behind the dollhouse Quiet as a mouse? Is she crouching in the toy box Crafty as a fox? Is she underneath the rug as cozy as a bug? Oh, where can Sheila be? Chorus: Peek-a-Boo! Where are you? Come out from your hiding place Peek-a-Boo! I see you ! It's good to see your smiling Gee, it's been awhile and It's good to see your smiling face Where is Danny, where could he be? He was here a moment ago Where is Danny, where could he be? We've been looking high and low Is he underneath a chair All curled up like a bear? Is he hiding in a cave Just like a bat behaves? Is he soaring through the skies Just like an eagle flies? Oh, where can Danny be? Repeat Chorus: Where are Jim and Jannie, where could they be? They were here a moment ago Where are Jim and Jannie, where could they be? We've been looking high and low Did they fly out of the room Upon a witch's broom? Did they wave a magic wand, Then suddenly they were gone? Are they here but can't be seen, Like ghosts on Halloween? Oh, where can Jim and Jannie be? Repeat Chorus: Lovey And Me Words and Music: Hap Palmer A Lovey is something you like very much A teddy, a blanket or doll Mine is a bunny so cuddly and soft It's my favorite stuffed toy of all Lovey is with me when I fall asleep And if I should wake in the night I'm not afraid 'cause my Lovey is there To say everything is all right It's Lovey and me, Lovey and me Together everywhere, It's Lovey and me Lovey stays with me whatever I do And listens to me when I talk We make up stories and maybe play house Or build a big castle with blocks Big kids may tease me and laugh at my games I turn and shut out the sound I hug Lovey tighter while walking away Pretending no one is around Just Lovey and me, Lovey and me Together everywhere, It's Lovey and me Lovey goes with me wherever I go That's why it's ragged and worn But I would not trade it for one that's brand new I'll take Lovey tattered and torn Mommy can wash it and hang it to dry And sew up the rips with some thread By night time my Lovey is ready to hug And lie with me here in my bed It's Lovey and me, Lovey and me Together everywhere It' Lovey and me Piggy Toes Words: Martha Cheney Music: Hap Palmer Ten little piggies run thumpity thud Ten little piggies squish into the mud Ten little piggies so soft and so sweet Don't you think toes are the best part of feet Chorus: Jiggle your piggy toes, wiggle your piggy toes Giggle and wiggle and jiggle your toes Jiggle your piggy toes, wiggle your piggy toes Run those sweet piggies right up to your rosy nose Run them right up to your nose Ten little piggies dig into the rug Ten little piggies curl up like a bug Ten little piggies go tippy tip toe Toes are the best part of feet don't you know Repeat Chorus: Walking Words: Martha Cheney Music: Hap Palmer Chorus: Walking,
