Hello, My Name is Mr. Billy by Mr. Billy

Jadin (Former Mayor of Green Bay, WI)

"We've been following Mr. Billy for more than a year now and I'd say one of my kids is crazy about him because whenever I mention of a Mr. Billy show, rest assured, she won't stop bugging me about it. Among the songs of Mr. Billy she likes are "Reading is Magic", "Bubble Trouble", "The Dog Eat My Homework", and "The Ants in Your Pants Dance". I think most of Mr. Billy's songs are educational and they are really intended for children since their wordings are easy to understand. I should mention that every show Mr. Billy does is really fun and entertaining". - Edna C. Justice, Parent of Two

"I give Mr. Billy my strongest recommendation" - Damian LaCroix (Principal, Suamico Elementary School)

"As the branch supervisor and children's librarian, I highly recommend Mr. Billy to other libraries or organizations interested in booking concerts or music education programs for kids and their families" - Sandy Kallunki (Supervisor, Brown County Library - Southwest Branch)

"This was the first time I have ever been at a school concert where the children actually seemed to enjoy the songs and singing/participating." - Mary Miller (Parent)

"Mr. Billy uses a unique electronic sound to accompany both his original songs and familiar classics. Not only was Mr. Billy's show entertaining it was educational too." - Sue Lagerman (Brown County Central Library)

"I still have kids who bought his CD who will listen to nothing else in the car. He could be the new King of Kiddie Rock N Roll!" - Sharon Weber (Jefferson Public Library)

"Mr. Billy presents an energizing event. His program was a true aerobic experience with music that makes you listen, learn, enjoy, and rock." - Chris Moede (Brillion Public Library)

"Diego 5 and Andres 3 just love you, there are your number one fans. They love your music, and Diego has express that he likes the fact that is rock and roll." - Yolo Diaz (Parent)

"My children and I love your music. I run a daycare and my kids put it on all the time. The favorite song is big bad bullies. I think I know it by heart." - Valerie Domke (Parent & Daycare Owner)

"I have children ranging from 4 months to 12 years of age and they all enjoy you immensely. The children ask to put your CD's on before the vehicle is even started and they sing along to all the songs. Your music is so easy for the young children to pick up on and they are constantly dancing to the rhythm." - Kathy Stein (Parent & Daycare Owner)

"The director of our public library saw him perform recently and told me we needed to book him because he was the best performer she has seen for children. We have had numerous assemblies in the past but this was by far the best overall experience for our students." - Tony Bolz (Principal, Barrie Elementary School)

Bubble Trouble

Once when I was a little boy I decided not to go out and play

I wanted to help my mom with the household chores that day

I took out the garbage cans before she even knew

And she couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw me clean my room

I went to the kitchen and saw the dishes being soaked

So I loaded the dishwasher but I couldn’t find the soap

I went and got my bubble bath and poured a little in

It didn’t look like there was enough so I poured the whole box in

Then I saw, one, two three tiny bubbles

Four, five, six tiny bubbles

Seven, eight, nine tiny bubbles floating out the dishwasher door

There were ten, twenty, thirty more bubbles

Forty, fifty, sixty more bubbles

Seventy, eighty, ninety bubbles

Bubble trouble for sure!

When my mother saw the mess, she didn’t yell or scream

She knew I was trying to help her and not be mean

After we cleaned it up I brushed my teeth and went to bed

But I couldn’t count any sheep with all those bubbles in my head

I saw, one, two three tiny bubbles

Four, five, six tiny bubbles

Seven, eight, nine tiny bubbles floating out the dishwasher door

There were ten, twenty, thirty more bubbles

Forty, fifty, sixty more bubbles

Seventy, eighty, ninety bubbles

Bubble trouble for sure!

There were one hundred, two hundred, three hundred bubbles

Four hundred, five hundred, six hundred bubbles

Seven hundred, eight hundred, nine hundred bubbles, bubble trouble for sure

There were one thousand, two thousand, three thousand bubbles

Four thousand, five thousand, six thousand bubbles

Seven thousand, eight thousand, nine thousand bubbles

I’m not kidding I thought there was a million bubbles on the kitchen floor

-----------------------------------------------------------

Butterfly

I want to be a butterfly

So I can flap my wings and fly

And sail away in the bright blue sky

Oh, I want to be a butterfly

I’d wear a smile not a butterfly frown

With two antennas that wiggle around

Look at my wings they’re gold and they’re pink

I look pretty like this, don’t you think?

CHORUS

There’s nothing wrong with the way that I am

But it’s fun to make believe and pretend

So if you want to play this game with me

Put on your wings and fly away in my dream

CHORUS

-----------------------------------------------------------

Different

What if I was a monkey?

And I was always climbing trees?

Swinging round from vine to vine and picking off my fleas

Would you want to hug me or would you take me to the zoo?

If I were different would you still like me and let me play with you?

And if I was an aardvark

Always sniffing on the ground

Looking for the tasty ants running up and down

Would you want to hug me or would you take me to the zoo?

If I were different would you still like me and let me play with you?

What if I were different?

Would it make a difference?

What if I were different?

Would you, could you, would you still like me?

What if was a penguin?

I would eat fish raw

I wouldn’t wear a hat or coat in the winter or fall

Would you want to hug me or would you take me to the zoo?

If I were different would you still like me and let me play with you?

CHORUS

And if I was a wise old owl

I would say whoo-whoo

I’d sleep all day and stay up all night looking for my food

Would you want to hug me or would you take me to the zoo?

If I were different would you still like me and let me play with you?

What if I were different, would you still like me?

I like Dinosaurs

I like Dinosaurs

I like to hear them roar

I like Dinosaurs

Because I’m very brave

I like Dinosaurs

I like to take them to the store

I like Dinosaurs

As long as they behave

I would let a dinosaur sleep in my bed

If he didn’t try to sit on my head

I would let a dinosaur watch my TV

As long as I had enough room to see

CHORUS

I would love to share my lunch one

I think that would be lots and lots of fun

It wouldn’t matter if he’s green, brown or red

It would be really cool to have dinosaur friend

CHORUS

Now, what kind of dinosaur song would this be if we didn’t feature those four famous dancing dinosaurs the stegosaurus, triceratops, brontosaurus and everybody’s favorite non-vegetarian the tyrannosaurus rex!

If you listen closely you can hear them coming

Shaking the ground with their dinosaur drumming!

Watch them dance you can count them all

One, two, three and T-rex makes four

They’re not scary when they dance in fact it’s funny

As long as the T-rex doesn’t get hungry!

-----------------------------------------------------------

Just Think

I like to think I think it’s really cool

To feed you head with great stuff everyday at school

If you didn’t have a brain you’d always wear blank face

In-between your ears there would be nothing but space

But you have gray matter so learn how to use it

Don’t take it for granted and never abuse it

Your brain is like a muscle so don’t let it get weak

Exercise it everyday just think!

Just think (think) think about it

Just think (think) no doubt about it

Just think (think) a thinky-dink

Just think about the thought that you thought about thinking

If you take good care of what’s under your hair

And don’t use your brain to sit on your chair

You can impress your family and amaze your friends

When you use your brain the fun never ends

What will you think of next, who knows?

Just keep on thinking and your thought power grows

Your brain is like a muscle so don’t let it get weak

Exercise it everyday just think!

CHORUS

Yeah, whatever you do it’s all up to you

If you can think it and believe it you can make it come true

Your brain is like a muscle so don’t let it get weak

Exercise it everyday just think!

CHORUS

So Many Colors

There are so many colors.

So many colors, so many colors

There are so many colors that you can see

There are so many colors.

So many colors, so many colors

There are so many colors lets just sing about three

Well the very first color is pretty bright

You see it every day but not as much in the night

It’s the color of the sky and the oceans too

You guessed right if you said it was blue!

The second color you can see up and down

It’s in the trees and on the ground

It’s the color of a dollar in the USA

If you guessed it was green then you’re on your way

This is the color that’s last on our list

Some Firemen paint their trucks with it

When you see this color you have to stop

If you guessed it was red then you’re really hot!

There are so many colors.

So many colors, so many colors

There are so many colors that you can see

There are so many colors.

So many colors, so many colors

How many more can we name, let’s see

There’s purple, orange, gray, brown, teal and violet

Turquoise, aqua, black, lime and don’t you forget

Magenta, tan, gold, yellow, fuchsia and cream

Silver, navy, white, pink that makes 20 + 3

There are so many colors.

So many colors, so many colors

There are so many colors that you can see

Telephone

It doesn’t matter if you’re far away from here

You could be next door or in some other place

If you have my number you can always call on me

It’ll put a smile on my face

Call me on the telephone

Call me on the telephone

Call me on the telephone

Call me on the telephone

I hope that we can always be the best of friends

Spending time together everyday

The telephone can be a friend that keeps us close

Even if we have to move away

Call me on the telephone

Call me on the telephone

Call me on the telephone

Call me on the telephone

Hello, it’s me. Tell me what’s up

I was thinking of you so I called you up

Before I used the phone I had to look

For the number you gave to me it was in my phone book

Now don’t forget you can call me too

If you want my number I’ll give it to you

But if you try to call and I’m not home

I have a machine that answers the phone

Wait for the beep then say your number and name

But talk real slow so I can hear what you’re saying

Then I can call you back and before you know

You will hear my voice on your telephone

And if you have an emergency

Call 911 immediately

Your phone is not just a cool device

If you’re in trouble it could save your life

What’s that number? (911)

Repeat that number (911)

But if everything is A-OK for you today

And there are no emergencies that you can see

Give me a call just to say hi

Operators are standing by!

Call me on the telephone

Call me on the telephone

Call me on the telephone

Call me on the telephone

The Sleeping Song

Daddy is sleeping don't wake him up

Daddy is sleeping everybody quiet

Daddy is sleeping his eyes are shut

Daddy is sleeping don't wake him up

Mommy is sleeping don't make a sound

Mommy is sleeping tiptoe around

Mommy is sleeping don't play too loud

Mommy is sleeping don't make a sound

Everybody needs sleep

Everybody needs sleep

Everybody needs sleep

To be your best you need your rest!

The kitty is sleeping she's rolled into a ball

The kitty is sleeping at the end of the hall

The kitty is sleeping her name don't call

The kitty is sleeping she's rolled into a ball

Our neighbors are sleeping on that live on our block

Our neighbors are sleeping every door is locked

Our neighbors are sleeping they set their clocks

Our neighbors are sleeping on that live on our block

All the children are sleeping and you should be too

All the children are sleeping and dreaming it's true

All the children are sleeping they're not at the zoo

All the children are sleeping and you should be too

-----------------------------------------------------------

What I Say

Here’s a song that’s lots of fun

Because you move all around before it’s done

The rules are simple come on let’s play

All you have to do is what I say

Stand up and sit down

Stand up and turn all around

Sit down and clap your hands

Stand up, close your eyes and open them up

Now sit down and say horary!

Because you did everything that I said today

That was so much fun let’s play again

But we’ll speed it up for you and your friends

The rules are simple come on let’s play

All you have to do is what I say

CHORUS

Do you think you can do it faster then that?

I bet you can let’s try it out

The rules are simple come on let’s play

All you have to do is what I say

CHORUS

You did everything that I said today

You did everything that I said today

-----------------------------------------------------------

Good-bye

This special day I always will remember

This is the last song I will play

Before I put my guitar away

Good-bye my friend until we meet again

Good-bye my friend until we meet again

G-O-O-D-B-Y-E
