1. Get Up!
Get up, KATIE, get out of bed
Shake away the sleep from your little head
Get up, KATIE, get on with your day
Get up out of bed and get on your way
(Repeat)
Get up, KATIE, get on your way
Get up, KATIE, get on with your day
Get up, KATIE, get out of bed
Shake away the sleep from your little head
Get up, KATIE, get on with your day
Get up out of bed and get on your way
(Repeat)
Get up, KATIE, get on your way
Get up, KATIE, get on with your day
(Repeat)
2. My Life as Me
(Spoken)
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be something else, like a lion or an
eagle, or even a coconut? It sure is fun to pretend to be something else. But the most
fun of all, after you’re done pretending, is to come right back and to be just who you
are!
Tell me, KATIE,
Have you ever been a cow, if you have then tell me how
And if you’ve ever been a cat, I would like to know that, just that
Tell me, KATIE,
Have you ever been a tree, if you have I’d like to see
And if you’ve ever been a fish, I would like to know this, just this
What’s it like, what’s it like to be something else
Would it be all that I dream?
Would I like to return to be just myself
To enjoy my life as me?
Have you ever been a fly, if you have then tell me why
And if you’ve ever been a bat, I would have to know that, just that
Tell me, KATIE,
Have you ever been a nose, why would you be one of those?
And if you’ve ever been an ear, tell me what did you hear? (hear, hear)
What’s it like, what’s it like to be something else
Would it be all that I dream?
Would I like to return to be just myself
To enjoy my life as me?
(Repeat 1st verse, & Chorus)
3. I Can Dance
I can dance in a circle, I can dance in a square
It is fun when I dance and I can dance most anywhere
If you point to a location I will step right over there
I will be the new sensation anytime or anywhere
C‘mon KATIE, let’s dance
If you dance in a circle, if you dance in a square
It is fun when you dance and you can dance most anywhere
If I point to a location will you step right over there
You could be the new sensation anytime or anywhere
Whirling, twirling, leaping in the air
When you’re swirling, you’re beyond compare
(Spoken):
Male lead: Will you dance?
Female lead: Yes, I’ll dance.
Male lead: Dance with me?
Female lead: Pardon Me!
Male lead: Dance with me and KATIE.
Female lead: With KATIE, happily!
Male lead: Then we’ll dance altogether…
Female lead: …altogether, merrily
Male lead: And we’ll be the new sensation.
Female lead: New sensation…
Both leads: Yes, indeed!!
(Repeat sung sections)
4. I Can Count Some More
(Spoken):
KATIE, can you count to four
If you can, can you count some more?
KATIE, can you count to eight
If you can, then that’s just great!
KATIE, can you count to twelve
If that’s so, then that’s just swell
(Sung)
One, two, three, four, I can count some more, I can count much higher than before
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, if you think that’s high then just you wait
Eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, counting up to twelve I think is swell.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, that’s great!
(Spoken):
Wow, that’s so fast! Can you count as fast as you can sing? Sure you can! If you want to
learn how to count to 12 really fast, then learn how to sing this song. If you can sing it,
you can say it! So let’s try it again…
(Repeat song)
(Spoken):
KATIE, you’re learning to count really well! You’ll probably be able to count to a
MILLION some day--and that really is high. Okay, let’s sing it one more time, and I’m
going to join in to see if I can sing fast---just like you! Here we go…
(Repeat song)
5. Slow and Steady Wins the Race
Sung:
Here’s a tale about a race around the forest between a hot rod hare and a slow but
steady tortoise
The rabbit in his pride said no one could defeat him, but that old turtle hit his stride
until he beat him
Spoken: (with musical vamp underneath)
Once there was a foot race between a rabbit and a tortoise
In front of all the other animals in the forest
The rabbit couldn’t lose, his speed was second to none
But the turtle was determined to finish what he’d begun…which tells us…
Sung:
Slow and steady wins the race, don’t burn out, but set your pace
and just keep goin’ keep on rollin’
Slow and steady as she goes, don’t you stop and don’t you doze
Until it’s over, till you cross over that finish line
KATIE, cross that line
I said, KATIE, cross that line
Spoken: (with musical vamp underneath)
Well, Once the race was started, the rabbit zoomed ahead
Knowing he could finish first, he stopped to rest instead
That turtle never lost his stride, he kept a steady pace
And when that rabbit awoke, it was the turtle who’d won the race!
Sung:
Slow and steady wins the race, don’t burn out, but set your pace
and just keep goin’ keep on rollin’
Slow and steady as she goes, don’t you stop and don’t you doze
Until it’s over, till you cross over that finish line
KATIE, cross that line
I said, KATIE, cross that line
Spoken: (with musical vamp underneath)
When you set out to begin, have it in your mind to win
Don’t give up before you’re done, do it right and make it fun
(Repeat Chorus)
6. In a Big Parade
(Spoken):
Have you ever wanted to march in a big parade, or be the leader of the band, or have
everybody come out just to see you march down the street? Well, that’s what this song
is all about. So, march around the room if you can as we sing about marching in the BIG
PARADE!
(Sung)
Imagine you’re in a big parade where people are shouting, “Hip, hip hooray!”
Smiling and waving at everyone you meet
The crowd along the avenue sounds just like a big kazoo
And you’re the one they’ve all come out to see
Yeah KATIE
Yeah KATIE
You’re the one, the only one
You’re the one we’ve all come out to see.
Imagine you’re holding a big balloon, sitting up high in the afternoon
Nodding your head to people on the street
You’re the leader of the band with all their instruments in hand
Playing as they’re marching to the beat
Yeah KATIE
Yeah KATIE
You’re the one, the only one
You’re the one we’ve all come out to see.
(Song fades as if parade is moving on)
The End!
7. Alphabet Stars
A, E, I, O and U; A, E, I, O and U
The recipe for our ABC’s includes A, E, I, O and U
(Spoken):
KATIE, did you know the alphabet is made up of two different kinds of letters? It’s true.
The alphabet is made up of both Vowels and Consonants. The consonants are the hard
sounds like B (buh), as in ball and G (guh), as in golly. Sometimes consonants can be
soft like the W (wuh), in wiggle and the J (juh) in jello. But the stars of the alphabet are
the Vowels, A-E-I-O and U. They make the alphabet fun! So come on, let’s all sing
together about the alphabet stars!
A, E, I, O and U; A, E, I, O and U
The recipe for our ABC’s includes A, E, I, O and U
There are 26 letters in our alphabet, 21 letters are consonants
but 5 are better by far, they’re the alphabet stars.
A, E, I, O and U; A, E, I, O and U
The recipe for our ABC’s includes A, E, I, O and U
(Repeat)
Vowels put the “AA” in hooray, Vowels put the “EE” in the high trapeze
They put the “OO” in the zoo, In fact, they’re in your name too
Hmm, KATIE, yep, they’re in there.
A, E, I, O and U; A, E, I, O and U
The recipe for our ABC’s includes A, E, I, O and U
(Repeat)
8. Right Here at Home
KATIE, do you like to travel?
KATIE, do you like to roam?
Once in a while when I feel, I must be myself
With no strings attached I just fly away
Floating through heaven, I wave to the stars
As they pass me right by on their way to town
But then something is missing from my dream
My friends and my family to be with me
‘Cause I found the best place is right here at home
right here with good friends that I can call my own
and though traveling is nice, I don’t have to travel twice
without good friends to go along with me
KATIE, do you like to travel?
KATIE, do you like to roam?
Traveling brings to mind new and exciting things
Brand new adventures with lots to learn
But soon you begin to miss those you have left behind
And you just can’t wait to be home again
Because nothing is missing when you see
The smiles of your friends and your family
‘Cause I found the best place is right here at home
right here with good friends that I can call my own
and though traveling is nice, I don’t have to travel twice
without good friends to go along with me
(repeat)
