Highway Over Our Heads

Well the northwest side of Chicagoland
has thousands of houses and homes
It has parks to play in with children and friends,
A river and places to roam
But one day the many people living there
looked up as they slipped out of bed
And when they looked up high with their eyes to the sky
they saw a highway over their heads

Highway over their heads
Compliments of the feds
If they lived in this town
If they lived in those houses
The FAA would never allow this

The highway jammed with silver jets
queued up in a never ending line
Some folks below heard the writing on the wall
started looking for a "For Sale" sign
So say good-bye to the peace and the quiet of the night
Say hello to the rumble and the roar
Say goodbye to the health of your family
Say hello to staying indoors

Highway over our heads
Over our roofs and beds
It's pollution of sound, it's pollution of air
But big money's in it so they just don't care

Now there's a way to change where they send these planes
and respect communities
But we gotta make noise from ground up
We gotta make our own db's
Then we won't say good-bye to the sweet outdoors
and we won't say hello to good-bye
Then we wont say goodbye to the rumble and the roar
Just good-bye to the highway in the sky
Highway over our heads
Over our roofs and beds
It's pollution of sound it's pollution of air
All the things that we don't want here.

Song protesting the massive shift in airplane traffic at
Chicago's O'Hare Airport which puts the burden of noise,
fuel, air and visual pollution almost solely on the residents
and businesses of the Northwest side and the near NW suburbs.

Wash Rinse Dry

Soap your hands
Rub some bubbles
Now scrub them well
Rub scrub them double
Use warm water
Watch it ripple down your hands
Rinse rub them triple

Chorus
You’ve got to Wash rinse and dry
wash and scrub and rinse and scrub dry
wash rinse and dry them well and often
do it well and do it often

It’s on your hands where bad germs linger
On your thumbs and every finger
Germs are dirty
They make us sick
So wash them off
Don’t let them stick

Chorus

No soap and water - no
Then use hand gel - yeah
A squeeze and rub
Helps keep you wellAll through the day
Do the wash rinse dry
And tell those germs
Adios, bye bye

Chorus

written for Children Memorial Hospital’s Hand Hygiene Campaign

I'd Be a Bee

If I had wings and I could fly
I wouldn't be an eagle up in the sky
I wouldn't be a rocket or a mockingbird
I'd be busy singing my buzz word

Chorus
I'd be a bee, a bee, a busy buzzing bee
I'd be a bee,  I'd be a bee, and I'd go buzzing busily
I'd be a bee, a bee, a busy buzzing bee
I'd be a bee, I'd be a bee, and I'll be buzzing busily

When I'm a bee, I will not sing
I'll visit the flowers and they'll hear me sing
And when it's time to go back home
I'll buzz back to my... honeycomb

Chorus

Well I love to fly with my best friend
Even though it's just pretend
I move my arms, shake up the wind
Then I go buzzing all around again

Chorus
