Jack Johnson Month Day 14

Song(s): We're Going to be Friends, The Sharing Song and The 3 R's
Artist: Jack Johnson, Sing-A-Long Songs and Lullabies for the Film Curious George

Yesterday's post was heavy, long and dramatic.

I hate to say it, but I'm not feeling much better today.  

I won't go into details. I'll try to keep things light.

The reason I'm combining all three songs in one post is because they all go hand in hand in my mind. I can't hear one without the others. This is also the track listing on the album. It's almost like they're all one continuous song!

We're Going to be Friends

Classic, simple, sweet song (that's apparently a cover) that I love so much. Makes me long for the simpler days of childhood.


Fall is here, hear the yell
Back to school, ring the bell
Brand new shoes, walking blues
Climb the fence, books and pens

I can tell that we are going to be friends
Yes I can tell that we are going to be friends

Walk with me Suzy Lee
Through the park and by the tree
We can rest upon the ground
And look at all the bugs we've found
Safely walk to school without a sound
We safely walk to school without a sound

Well here we are no one else
We walk to school all by ourselves
There's dirt on our uniforms
From chasing all the ants and worms
We clean up and now it's time to learn
We clean up and now it's time to learn

Numbers letters learn to spell
Nouns and books and show and tell
Play time we will throw the ball
Then back to class through the hall
The teacher marks our height against the wall
The teacher marks our height against the wall

And we don't notice any time pass
Because we don't notice anything
And we sit side by side in every class
The teacher thinks that I sound funny
But she likes it when you sing

Tonight I'll dream in my bed
While silly thoughts run through my head
Of the bugs and alphabet
And when I wake tomorrow I'll bet
That you and I will walk together again

Because I can tell that we are going to be friends
I can tell that we are going to be friends


The Sharing Song

This song got played a lot back in the day 😂 Cute song, love the message. Currently trying to teach it to my niece and nephew, more for the principle then the catchiness 😉



It's always more fun
To share with everyone
It's always more fun
To share with everyone

If you have two
Give one to your friend
If you have three
Give one to your friend and me

It's always more fun
To share with everyone
It's always more fun
To share with everyone

If you've got one
Here is something you can learn
You can still share
Just by taking turns

If you've got a ball
Bounce it to the gang
If there is a new kid
Invite him out to hang
If you've got one sandwich
Cut that thing in half
If you know a secret joke
Tell it and share a laugh
If you've got two drumsticks
Give one to your friend
Make one beautiful rhythm
Share a beat that never ends
And if you're feeling lonely
Share time with your mom
Share some milk and cookies
And sing the sharing song

It's always more fun
To share with everyone
It's always more fun
To share with everyone


The 3 R's

This was always one of my favorites! Preach Jack! Samples from this song.

THIS IS THE CUTEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN!! 😍
Those kids have no idea how lucky they are!!
UGH! I LOVE HIM SO MUCH!! 💛💖💙

Three it's a magic number
Yes it is, it's a magic number
Because two times three is six
And three times six is eighteen
And the eighteenth letter in the alphabet is R

We've got three R's we're going to talk about today
We've got to learn to
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

If you're going to the market to buy some juice
You've got to bring your own bags and you learn to reduce your waste
And if your brother or your sister's got some cool clothes
You could try them on before you buy some more of those
Reuse, we've got to learn to reuse
And if the first two R's don't work out
And if you've got to make some trash
Don't throw it out
Recycle, we've got to learn to recycle,

We've got to learn to
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Because three it's a magic number
Yes it is, it's a magic number

3, 3, 3

3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36
33, 30, 27, 24, 21, 18, 15, 12, 9, 6, and
3, it's a magic number


And just for good measure, as we end the Curious George album, here's another fun groove! I'm telling you, this is so not just a kids album!!

Jungle Gym (feat. G. Love)



The city is my jungle gym
Look at this big great world that we're living in
There's lots of fun to be had on these streets
We can take a ride just you and me
It's a jungle gym
It's a jungle gym

Trolley cars and buses too
All the big kids going to school
I'm going to get a treat from the ice cream man
Catch me catch me if you can
It's a jungle gym

The city's nitty gritty but it's so much fun
We can take a ride go tell everyone
It's a jungle gym
Sha la la la la la la la la la

These streets have got a rhythm
It's a funky beat
The more I learn inside the city
The more I learn in me
It's a jungle gym
It's a jungle gym

Movie theatres and museums
Fishing in the pond
ABC's 123's bring your friends along
Flying kites way up high into the blue sky
We can take a ride
Just you and I

It's a jungle gym
It's a jungle gym!
Sha la la la la la la la la la

This city's nitty gritty but it's so much fun
We can take a ride go tell everyone
It's a jungle gym
It's a jungle gym
