Oh that big bad werewolf (2x) That big bad werewolf's coming to town Oh that big bad werewolf (2x) That big bad werewolf's hunting you down When the clock strikes thunder And the full moon's rising You can see his teeth gleaming white And his eyes are red as rubies His fur as black as midnight His claws They're scratching at your door Hear him howl Hear him growl Everybody run From that big bad werewolf (2x) That big bad werewolf's sniffing around Oh that big bad werewolf (2x) Big bad werewolf hungry as a hound Everyone hide under your covers Don't make a sound That big bad werewolf's Gonna hunt you down He's pretty like your grandma Smart and feisty too He'll put on her pajamas Dnd he'll hop in bed with you Hear him howl Hear him growl Everybody run From that big bad werewolf (2x) That big bad werewolf's coming to town Oh that big bad werewolf (2x) That big bad werewolf's sniffing around ....hungry as a hound ....gonna put on grandma's pajamas And swallow you down

Eyes are watching Ears are hearing Feet are dancing And your nose is dripping Good morning 2x I feel like the sun Good morning 2x Hello to everyone Eyes and ears on me It's good to sing not scream Open up your hearts Like happy honking geese CHORUS We all sit down together And eat delicious breakfast Apples pears and pancakes Nutritious and so scrumptious CHORUS I feel just like a bird in the sky I feel just like a worm in the ground Just like a fish in the deep blue sea I feel just like a bumblebee Just like a dragonfly Just like a ladybug on a flower CHORUS You get what you get And you don't get upset Let’s all work together Like the alphabet CHORUS Peace and love and kindness Are the best ingredients To make a perfect day With our teachers and our friends CHORUS

I'm a big boy and I'm almost 3 I'm so bored with the ABCs I've heard them before And I'll hear them again I'm just like a pig in a pen I'm so bored (3x) With the ABCs I'm so bored (3x) with the ABCs I'm a big boy and I'm almost 4 I don't need the training wheels no more I'll shout it out one last time Til you understand Or your ears go blind CHORUS Gimme a jet plane Gimme a train Gimme the roar Of a hurricane Shake and Rattle Go Insane! Rock and Roll Is here to stay I'm a big girl and I'm almost 5 I don't wanna hear no turkey jive I'll sing it straight I'll sing it strong I wanna make noise all day long CHORUS
4.
Eyes are Watching Ears are Hearing Lips are Quiet And your Hands are still Settle-ettle-ettle Settle-ettle-ettle-ettle Settle down No I wont! Yes You Will
5.
Rain come down We want to play And splash all day In a muddy puddle We’ll soak our socks Our pants and coats Float our hats Away like boats CHORUS: Hot Dog Cold Dog Eat it in the rain Ketchup and mustard Flowing down the drain A rainbow's born In drops of rain When the unicorn wakes And shakes its mane The colors dance Across the sky And paint the clouds As gulls fly by CHORUS Little pony In the park Watch out for The dogs that bark Wake up from your Restless bed Comb your hair And toss your head CHORUS
6.
Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Kitty Power Meow I'm a sly pink kitty Strolling round my block Sniffing underneath Every purple rock My tummy is a-rumblin' And I need a bit I'm looking for a tasty Family of mice CHORUS Pretty birds flying In a raindbow sky I'll climb up a tree But they're still too high I'll have to crouch down In the jungle leaves I'm waiting for those birds To fall asleep CHORUS Meow meow meow meow meow... I'm hungry again And the moon is out I'm staring down into A pool of trout The fish are too deep I'm afraid I'll sink I'll catch them when they're up For their morning swim CHORUS
7.
It’s my birthday today Big in every way I'm old as a dinosaur I blow out the flames Of my strawberry cake Wishes come true That’s for sure I used to need training Wheels on my ride I used to need watching When I was outside Now I know everything Useful to know There’s a time for running And a time to be slow So leave me alone Cause I don’t need your help I can do it all by myself Won't you show me a wall That's unbreakably tall I will show you what I can do Like a monkey a cat Like a lizard or a rat I will find my way Over under or through Yesterday I felt Trapped in a trance I was too shy to sing I was too clumsy to dance Now i know everything Useful to know I can do anything Come watch the show Just leave me alone I don't need your help I can do it all by myself I can do it all by myself

Mom Says No 03:50
I don't care for doing dishes I'd rather go outside and play With the birds the bees The worms the trees The slimy things you find When you slip under the leaves But Mom Says No Mom Says No Is that the only word She knows? I've got 14 yrs but I just turned 6 Ma's got me working Double mealtime shifts It's rinse that fork And shine that spoon There'll be no fun this afternoon No birds no bees No worms no trees No caterpillar parties In the shade of the leaves CHORUS A thousand legs gliding On leaves of grass Don't let that caterpillar train pass From the big oak tree Through the hills and shore Listen for the patter of tiny feet Don't miss that train When Mother calls It's time to eat Don't stamp your feet! CHORUS All the goodies will be mine All the spoons and All the knives All the pigs and their potbellied wives All the wooden soldiers their wooden eyes Yes All the dimples on All the dimes All the little crumbs and their little crimes All the lemons and All the limes All the goodies they will be mine But Mom Says No Mom Says No It's the only word She knows

Sometimes I’m messy Sometimes I’m loud Sometimes I won’t Pick myself up from the ground The sun could be shining The sky could be blue Still I’d be thunder- Clouds and lightning too You don’t have to spank me twice Cause it didn’t work the first time And even scientists agree You don’t have to spank me twice I make bad decisions Like swimming alone Across the river Thru the danger zone More bad decisions And more yet to come I keep on marching To my broken drum CHORUS Oh no I’m in Trouble again How long Will I be this way? I can’t Stop myself From making mistakes But i know I’m not the only one When i hear you counting With that look on your face 3 is the number That i must obey Mouth closed ears open Hands at my side I can't always pretend That i’m a perfect child Life is a jungle It’s out of control Don’t be so angry It's just rock n’ roll CHORUS

Big City 03:22
Growing up in the big city I know my way around already I’m out here learning letters, numbers, and tricks How to make a mess and clean up after it When to give, or take, or even throw a fit I’m growing up in the big city I know my way around already Millions of people everywhere I turn Running in circles try’n to be first They look so funny that I laugh till it hurts I’m growing up in the big city I’m a broken record but I’m still spinning (break) Growing up in the big city I want to know if you’re still with me At the bottom of the skyscrapers No taller than a kitchen table For any task I’m willing and able As long as there’s a prize A red ribbon and a crown of feathers A tambourine for any type of weather A hood and cape made of black leather Now watch me disappear Growing up in the big city I’ve been stepped on but I’m still singing Wishing that I was a butterfly Blue, yellow, microscopic eyes Or a falcon flying through the sky Whistling in the wind Chasing after those fat pigeons So noble and quite delicious I’m shooting up by mighty inches Day by day by day Growing up in the big city I never knew it could be so friendly I’m learning how to say thank you and please If it doesn’t work I can beg or plead For just one more of everything I see Stacked so high above In jars of lightning through a window of rain Radio waves shooting out to space I don’t ever want to lose my place Growing up in the big city I know my way around already

If I love pink I hold my nose at blue If I wear a dress That’s my business too If I love green shoes And you don’t wear any shoes It’s not a problem Don’t be confused It’s great to be me It’s great to be you Let’s tell everybody That’ll always be true It’s great to be me It’s great to be you No matter what they say That’ll always be true If I’m like midnight You’re the sun If I’m a saxophone And you’re a drum I’m big and tall You’re short and small It makes no difference We love one and all It’s great to be me It’s great to be you Let’s tell everybody That’ll always be true It’s great to be me It’s great to be you No matter what they say That’ll always be true If I’m an elephant You’re a tree If I’m a ladybug You’re a bumblebee We’re born so different In millions of ways But deep in our hearts We all feel the same It’s great to be me It’s great to be you Let’s tell everybody That’ll always be true In the best and the worst times The old and the new From San Francisco To Timbuktu I’m upside down You’re turned around I’m one with the sky And you live underground It’s great to be me It’s great to be you No matter what they say That’ll always be true If my name’s Merle Shout it: MERLE Am I a boy Or am I a girl? If my my name is Jess Shout it: JESS I like cowboy pants And I love my pink princess dress It’s great to be me It’s great to be you Let’s tell everybody That’ll always be true It’s great to be me It’s great to be you No matter what they say That’ll always be true

When the children raise their voices And the world is overrun There can be no power greater Anywhere beneath the sun We don’t to hear from anyone Who’s too angry to have fun Together we are strong Solidarity Forever (3x) Together we are strong It is we who bring the happiness And meaning to their lives With our hugs and our kisses Our hellos and our goodbyes If they know what’s good for them They’ll quickly realize Together we are strong CHORUS They’ve taken all our toys Locked them up and out of reach Warned us to behave To sit down and never speak It’s us who will clean up for them When they are old and weak Together we are strong CHORUS We won’t give up the fight Until we’ve won all our demands Bring us all the tvs Toys and candy in the land They're ours to take and ours alone Don’t try to take a stand Together we are strong CHORUS

about

Big Bad Werewolf animated video: youtu.be/ErMozHI9AOI

Alexei and the Rock O'Clock Band play children's music in the San Francisco Bay Area. Lead singer/songwriter Alexei Wajchman has been teaching and writing for kids since 2010. He’s been performing professionally since attending San Francisco High School of the Arts where he started his band Blind Willies and began writing original songs. His songs have been played on radio stations throughout the US, Europe, Canada, Israel, and Australia.

Writing songs for children is especially gratifying and rewarding. Singing for them and with them is an endless learning experience, and more than any other characteristic it’s pure fun. They contribute active imaginations and innocence and uninhibited joy to every session, and they’re a sounding board of critics who add their own moods and voices and observations to every song.

This debut album, Tell Everybody, is an anthology of those experiences. Play it on repeat for your kids and see which songs make them laugh, dance, think, and sing along. You’ll know what sticks when you hear them singing to themselves.
