Lyrics - Racing Day

From Race Around the World.

Austin: Racing day, it's racing day,
Racing day, it's racing day!
It's not nervous pacing day.
Today's the day we race.

I'm ready to race a long, long race.
This race goes almost every place.
It's fast, it's long,
It's vast, it's far,
It starts out right here where we are.

But when the finish line's unfurled,
We will have raced around the world.
When we finish this long, long race
I hope, I hope I'll take first place.

Racing day, it's racing day,
Racing day, it's racing day!
It's not sausage casing day,
Today's the day we race.
Today's the day we race.
Today's the day we race.

All: Racing day, it's racing day,
Racing day, it's racing day!
It's not picture-tracing day,
Today's the day we race!

Tyrone: We'll run somewhere that's not right here,
And while we do the crowd will cheer.
Uniqua: Through the forest over the snows,
Across the ocean and then who knows?

Pablo: Whoever is the first around,
will get to make that victory sound,
Austin: Dunt-da-daa! is what they'll say
at the end of racing day.

All: Racing day, it's racing day,
Racing day, it's racing day!
It's not puppy chasing day,
Today's the day we race!

All: Racing day, it's racing day,
Racing day, it's racing day!
It's not doily lacing day,
Today's the day we race!

Uniqua: A long, long, long, long way we've come,
Tyrone: To get back where we started from.
Pablo: We raced real hard but now it's time,
Austin: To break that tape and cross that line.

All: Racing day, it's racing day,
Racing day, it's racing day!
It's not self-effacing day,
Today's the day we race.
Today's the day we race.
Today's the day we race.

Lyrics - Mystery Lifeguard

From Surf's Up. Sung by Austin.

No one can surf Tiki Beach waves
'Til they've got rad moves a-plenty.
One or two moves just won't make it.
I'm talking five, ten or twenty.
When you are rad you will get there,
And you'll get stylishly wet there

Mystery lifeguard,
They call me mystery lifeguard
Of Tiki Beach, yo,
That's me, the mystery lifeguard.

Mystery lifeguard,
They call me mystery lifeguard
Of Tiki Beach, yo,
That's me, the mystery lifeguard.

Lyrics - Who's There?

Who's over there?
Who, who, who?
Who's there? Who's there?
Who's over there?
Who, who, who?

Uniqua: If we follow this string we'll find out who's been
helping us out with everything!
Tyrone: The vines and the leaves,
the rocks and the wood;
Pablo: Someone's been hanging in our neighborhood!

All: Who's there? Who's there?
Who's over there?
Who, who, who?
Who's there? Who's there?
Who's over there?
Who, who, who?

Uniqua: I see some footprints
Pablo: Going over the sand,
Tyrone: Soon we'll find out
All: Who's here on our land.
Tyrone: The coconuts and rocks,
Pablo: The big ball of string,
Uniqua: We'll finally find out who did everything!

All: Who's there? Who's there?
Who's over there?
Who, who, who?
Who's there? Who's there?
Who's over there?
Who, who, who?

Lyrics - Got To Love The Clarinet

Here's a song for all you clarinet players out there!

From Polka Palace Party. Sung by Uniqua and Tyrone.

Uniqua: The clarinet, the clarinet,
what do I like about the clarinet?
The clarinet, the clarinet,
got to love the clarinet!

One good thing about the clarinet
is all those tasty tones I get.
If anyone's found a better sound
I haven't heard it yet.

Both: The clarinet, the clarinet,
Uniqua: What do I like about the clarinet?
Both: The clarinet, the clarinet,
got to love the clarinet!

Tyrone: Tell me something else about the clarinet.
Uniqua: It's very portable.

Play it on the porch or in the kitchenette.

that's what I like about the clarinet!
The clarinet, the clarinet,
got to love the clarinet!

Lyrics - The Rules Song

From "Monster Detectives"

Tyrone: You must be sneaky now.
Uniqua: I must be sneaky now.
Tyrone: Especially sneaky now.
Uniqua: Especially sneaky now.

Tyrone: You can't have shoes that are squeaky now, lady,
You've got to be quiet, too,
Uniqua: Quiet, too,
Tyrone: Quiet, too.

Rule number one be quiet.
You cannot make a sound.
Make sure your feet land softly,
when they step upon the ground.

Uniqua: Okay I must be quiet.
I will not make a sound.
But what if I must yell or shriek,
or howl like a hound?

Tyrone: You mustn't even make a peep,
or else we will be found!

Uniqua (spoken): So, I have to be sneaky and quiet.
Tyrone: (spoken): If you wanna get your ball back, that's rule number one.
Uniqua (spoken): Well, I can do that!
Tyrone: (spoken): But there's more. There's rule number two.

Tyrone: Pay attention, lady,
'cause here's rule number two:
If you see that monster
do not let it play with you!

If you play with the monster,
lady, you'll be through.
'Cause whoever plays with the monster,
will become a monster, too!

Uniqua: If I play with that monster
I'll be a monster too.
Hey, that might be pretty neat!
It might be fun to do.

Tyrone: No that won't be neat.
It's not what you should do.
So if you see the monster
Do not let it play with you!

Uniqua (spoken): I could really turn into a soccer monster?
Tyrone (spoken): Only if you play soccer with one. So don't. That's rule number two.

Tyrone: We'll creep and sneak and peek around,
'til we find that soccer ball,
Uniqua: Soccer ball,
Both: 'til we find that soccer ball!

Lyrics - I Love Being a Princess

From "The Key to the Nile".

Part I - Tasha, playing by herself in the backyard.

The folks in my kingdom work hard everyday,
Then go home to their dark little huts.
Some say a Princess should live like her people,
But I reply, "What are you, nuts?"

I love being a princess,
I love being a princess.
I love smiling regally
while other people kneel.

I love being a princess,
I love being a princess.
I wouldn't trade with anyone,
I've got a sweet sweet deal.

I wear nice expensive clothes.
I sleep on the softest bed.
I wear fancy jewelry.
There's a crown upon my head.

Everyone in Egypt Land must bow and do my bidding.
If they don't I'll kick them out.
Try it ...
See if I'm kidding!

I love being a princess,
I love being a princess.
The lap of luxury,
That's where I hang out.

I love being a princess,
I love being a princess.
A nice arrangement, folks,
for me at least no doubt.

Part II: Tasha, Austin, Pablo and Tyrone, in Tasha's Egyptian palace.

Tasha: I love being a princess.
Boys: She loves being a princess.
Tasha: I love never bothering to open my own door.

I love being a princess.
Boys: She loves being a princess.
Tasha: And just because I feel like it,
I will tell you more.

When I want a bite to eat,
My servants come and serve it.
Pablo: We only bring the best for her.
Tasha: Why? 'Cause I deserve it!

Tyrone: We even come to fan her when she wants a gentle breeze,
Austin: But she never says thank you and she never ever says please.

Tasha: I ask for snacks,
my servants bring them.
I ask for drinks,
my servants bring them.

Austin: If she wants songs we'll even sing them.
Tasha: I've got the best servants in the kingdom.

If you want to dress like this, and wear a shiny crown,
If you like how people look when they are bowing down,
If princess life is what you want, your choice is crystal clear,
Go find some other country, pal,
'Cause I'm the princess here!

I love being a princess.
Boys: She loves being a princess.
Tasha: I love lounging on my couch
and ruling royally.

I love being a princess,
I love being a princess.
There's just one princess here,
and I love being me!

Tyrone: Great is your fame, o' princess.
Pablo: Long may you reign, o' princess.
Austin: She's such a pain, that princess.
Tasha: I love being me!

Lyrics - Eureka

Eureka! Eureka,
When you find-a what you seek-a
Eureka, Eureka
Everybody shout
Eureka, eureka, eureka, eureka!

Eureka! Eureka,
It's a word from ancient Greek-a
Eureka, eureka
Everybody shout
Eureka!

It's the best dang word
Eureka Eureka
That we have ever heard
Eureka Eureka
When you're just about to freak-a
shout it out, Eureka!

Eureka!

It's a scientist's delight
And we do pronounce it right
when you take-a that first peek-a
shout it out, Eureka!

Eureka! Eureka,
We'll sing this song a week-a
Eureka, eureka
Everybody shout
Eureka!

Eureka! Eureka,
From the top of the highest peak-a
Eureka, eureka
Everybody shout

It's the perfect thing to shout
when you're diggin' treasure out
when you find-a what you seek-a
shout it out eureka

It's the word you'll hear us shriek
when we find the the bones we seek
When you take-a that first peek-a

It is time to shout
Eureka!
It is time to shout
Eureka!
It is time to shout
Eureka!

Lyrics - Questing, Questing

From The Quest for the Flying Rock episode. This song can be found on the Backyardigans CD.

Questing, questing, questing
Never resting
Questing, questing, questing
Racing to the rock!

We're jungle questers
Fast and swift,
When it comes to racing,
We have a gift.
As long as we follow
Our ancient map
We'll reach StoneStep Hill
In a snap!

Questing, questing, questing
Never resting
Questing, questing, questing
Racing to the rock!

We're desert questers
Quick and smart
When it comes to racing
We've got the art.
As long as we follow
Our ancient map
We'll reach StoneStep Hill
Like a zap!

Lyrics - Mermaid Lullaby

From the Viking Voyage episode.

Tyrone: Rest my little darling
You’ve had a busy day
The sun is a'falling
And it’s time for me to say

Together: Hush, hush, hush little mermaid,
Good night.
Hush, hush little mermaid,
Sleep tight.
Close your eyes,
Close your eyes and lay down your head,
In your peaceful ocean bed.
Have a snooze, please, like I said and
Hush, hush, hush little mermaid,
Good night.
Hush little mermaid,
Sleep tight.

Tasha (spoken): I'm feeling a little sleepy.

Tyrone: You’re feeling kind of sleepy,
Uniqua: You’re feeling kind of loopy,
Pablo: Your fins are getting floppy,
Tyrone: And your eyelids getting droopy.

Uniqua: May your dreams be sweet,
As you fall into a snooze.
Perhaps again we’ll meet,
But now we have to cruise.

Together: So hush, hush, hush little mermaid,
Good night.
Hush, hush little mermaid,
Sleep tight.
Hush, hush little mermaid,
Good night.
Hush little mermaid,
Hush little mermaid,
Good night.

Lyrics - Backyardigans Theme Song

Another song from the Backyardigans CD.

The Backyardigans Theme Song

Spoken:
Hi, I'm Pablo.
My name's Tyrone.
I'm Uniqua.
I'm Tasha.
And my name is Austin.
And we're ...

Sung:
Your backyard friends, the Backyardigans!
Together in the backyard again,
In the place where we belong,
Where we'll prob'ly sing a song,
And we'll maybe dance along.

We've got the whole wide world in our yard to explore.
We always find things we've never seen before.
That's why every day we're back for more
With your friends, the Backyardigans.

Lyrics - A Pirate Says "Arrr"

This is one of the songs on the Backyardigans CD.

A Pirate Says "Arrr"

If you want to be a pirate,
Get up on your feet.
You can't be a pirate,
If you're sitting in your seat.
Swing your arms tough,
And stand kind of low,
And make this noise wherever you go.

Arrr! Arrr! Arrr!
A pirate, a pirate, a pirate says "Arrr!"
It might seem strange, just a bit bizarre,
But they know you're a pirate,
When they hear you say "Arrr!"

Arrr! Arrr! Arrr!
A pirate, a pirate, a pirate says "Arrr!"
You wear a spare part, a bandana and a scar,
and they know you're a pirate,
When they hear you say "Arrr!"

The Jolly Roger is the pirate flag,
A skull and some bones on a big black rag.
We'll fly it on our ship, up above the sails,
And we'll search for treasure,
And be tough as nails!

Arrr! Arrr! Arrr!
A pirate, a pirate, a pirate says "Arrr!"
If you think we're noisy, you're right, we are,
'cause they know you're a pirate,
When they hear you say "Arrr!"
