rhymes reimagined lyrics

rhymes reimagined: nursery rhymes for modern times.
"rhymes reimagined" was 100% inspired by you, dear listeners! when i first shared my rewrite of "rockabye baby," i had no idea it would strike such a nerve and inspire my most popular album to date. but it turns out i'm not the only one looking for more songs with emotionally intelligent lyrics that won't leave my sensitive kiddos with anxiety before bed!

gotta check for ticks!

 

check your ears

check between each of your toes

check your skin

check your hair

got to check you everywhere!

look for bumps

look for freckles that jump 

when you touch ‘em

ticks can make us 

really really sick sick

real real quick quick

gotta check for ticks!

thank you!!!

My heart is so full that it just might explode

I’m feeling so grateful and want you to know

That i appreciate you and everything that you do

So thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!

in the breeze

don’t pop my bubble

these are my body boundaries

and i don’t wanna make trouble

and i’m gonna get mad

if you’re up in my face

i don’t wanna hug!

i don’t wanna touch!

i need some space!

i’m bringing home a baby bumblebee

won’t my mama be so proud of me?

i’m waving bye bye to my baby bumblebee

won’t my mama be so proud of me?

i’m waving bye bye to my baby bumblebee

i hope she’ll make some sweet honey!*

TRASHCAN

trash on the ground!

no we put it in the trashcan

that’s where trash can be found

we never ever litter

because earth deserves much better

so we put our trash

into the trash can can!

stop is the magic power word

stop is the magic power word!

it makes us freeze so still

and when you say stop to me

i promise that i will

 

because stop is the magic power word

we always listen to it

and when someone says stop to you

you promise that you’ll do it

i miss you when you’re sleeping

i miss you when you’re sleeping

i love when you’re awake

i love to give you hugs 

i never wanna take a break

 

i’ll kiss you on your forehead

i’ll kiss you on your nose

i’ll kiss you on both of your cheeks

and then each of your toes

 

i love to be around you

and a lot of work it takes

so i hope you’ll take a real good nap

so i can take a break!

rainy day medley

rain rain hello my friend!

it’s so good to see you again!

and when you’re done i hope you’ll send

a pretty rainbow at the end

 

it’s raining!

it’s pouring!

all night and through the morning

the showers help the flowers grow

and then we’ll go exploring

a song for the seasons

in the winter

trees are sleeping

with their branches

strong and bare

 

in the summer

come the colors

of the fruit 

so ripe and sweet

 

in the springtime

leaves are peeping

scent of flowers

in the air

 

in the autumn

leaves are falling

getting ready for

winter’s sleep

hush little baby

hush little baby

don’t you cry

mama knows you’re sad

we’re gonna find out why

 

and if you’re mad 

cuz you’re really hungry

mama will feed you

til you’re not grumpy

 

and if your body hurts

cuz you’re growing so fast

mama will promise

that it will not last

 

and if you’re sad

cuz your diaper is wet

mama will change it

so you’re not upset

 

and if you’re scared

of being alone

mama will hold you

til your worries are gone

 

and if you’re frustrated

cuz you’re tired

just close your eyes

and sleep my child 

the cycle of the sun & moon

the sun wakes up each morning

as it rises in the east

it travels across the sky each day

until it’s time to sleep

 

at night it is the moon’s turn

to take its place in the sky

sometimes it shines so full and bright

sometimes it’s thin and shy



and when it is a new moon

we can’t see it with our eyes

still it travels across the sky each night

until the sun shines down its morning light

 

and on and on it goes like this

as time keeps passing by

gentle hands

gentle hands

gentle touch

we don’t hurt 

the ones we love

 

even when we love so much

we just wanna eat ‘em up

 

we don’t hit

we don’t bite

even when it’s 

hard to fight

 

we take a break

and then a breath

then we use our gentle hands

 

rockabye baby lyrics

rockabye baby

in the treetops

when the wind blows

the cradle will rock

 

when the tree sways

it rustles the leaves

and then my sweet baby

drifts off to sleep
