"Mini Me CD" All words, music and insturmentation by Heath Whitehead, Copyright 2001
Tarzan
All words, music, and instrumentation by: Heath Whitehead
Me Tarzan, you Jane
We go swinging on a vine in the rain
We swing through the jungle with Cheetah the monkey
Swinging on a vine makes me feel funky
We swing to the river so we can take a swim
We watch for alligators when we go jumping in
Don't land on a hippo or get eatin' by piranhas
C'mon and swing with me, oh Jane don't you wanna
We swing all over Africa wherever we want
And if we get tired we'll ride on an Elephant
Flyin' through the air, oh I am one happy fella
My best friend is a monkey and my mom is a gorilla
We swing through the jungle to go get some bananas
If we swing at night we'll be swinging in pajamas
We like to swing all day just Cheetah, Jane and me
And then we swing back home but watch out for that tree
"Butterfly"
All words, music and instrumentation by: Heath Whitehead
I'm a caterpillar, I crawl on the ground
But I'd like to fly in the air someday
Up high and all around
But I can't cause I don't have wings
To fly you need those things
Maybe if I got some propellers
Then I could be a flying caterpillar
And I'm a caterpillar stuck crawling on the dirt
But I wanted to fly so I jumped off a tree
But the landing really hurt
So I built a little cocoon
It's kind of like my bedroom
And then one day surprise, I came out and I was a butterfly
Now I'm a butterfly in the sky
I'm a butterfly, I fly so high
On pretty wings I float and sing
Up in the sky, I'm a butterfly
(2 times)
"Leopard"
All words, music and instrumentation by: Heath Whitehead
Well I wish I had a song that I could sing
That would be more fun than anything
Cause I'd really like to sing
More than I like Dr. Pepper
But nothing rhymes with Leopard
I'd like to yodel or maybe croon
An alpine ditty or a happy tune
And I'd really like to sing
More than I like to play checkers
But nothing rhymes with Leopard
Cause I'm a big cat, that would like to scat
Like Louie Armstrong, I'd sing a happy song
Cause I'd really like to sing
More than I like to eat shepherds
but nothing rhymes with Leopard
"The Monster Song"
All words, music and instrumentation by: Heath Whitehead
I was walking through the woods the other day
When I heard a scary word
And I looked behind me who did I see
Ooh, I saw a monster
Chorus
So I ran ran ran ran ran ran ran ran ran ran ran ran away (2 times)
I was walking through the woods the other day
I was eating peanut butter and jelly toast
and I looked behind me and who did I see
Ooh, I saw a ghost
Chorus
I was walking through the woods the other day
And my nose began to itch
I looked behind me and what did I see
Ooh I saw a witch
Chorus
I was walking through the woods the other day
I was going to see a movie starring Scott Bakula
And I looked behind me and who did I see
Ooh I saw Count Dracula
Chorus
I was walking through the woods the other day
And then I started chasing some squirrels
And I looked behind me and who did I see
I saw the boys and girls
Chorus
I was walking through the woods the other day
I had something green stuck in my teeth
And I looked behind me and who did I see
I saw Mr. Heath
Chorus
"Bob the Shark"
All words, music and instrumentation by: Heath Whitehead
I want to munch you for lunch
Oh I've just got a hunch
That if I take a little nibble
You just might go crunch
I'd like to taste your toes,
Maybe I'll start with those
They could be my appetizer,
If you would just come close
Chorus
I'm a hungry Shark,
With a fin on my back
Swimming in the sea,
Just looking for a snack
I want to eat your feet,
Oh what a tasty treat
And when you swim above my fin
My lunch will be complete
I want to chew both your legs
Maybe they'll taste like eggs
So dont swim so doggone fast,
please don't me beg
Chorus
I want to eat your tummy,
Oh wouldn't that be yummy
And if I chew it up really good
Maybe you won't be gummy
I'd like to nibble your nose
And I do suppose,
if you got a cold, and it is runny
That it just might be gross
Chorus
"Chicken on the Run"
All words, music and instrumentation by: Heath Whitehead
We're all chickens and we live in a pen
Some of us are Roosters and some of us are hens
We stay in the barn and we do as we please
And we work for chicken feed
It ain't no fun
oh being a chicken on the run
I have a friend who is a goose
And a friend who is a gander
We all try to stay away from Colonel Sanders
When we see the farmer coming with his ax
Thats why we're always nervous there's no time to relax
It ain't no fun oh being a chicken on the run
Chorus: Chicken noises
We sit in the barn just a laying eggs
And run around the yard on our chicken legs
If we see you coming we'll run away
And we just don't like those cows who work for Chick-fil-a
It ain't no fun oh being a chicken on the run
We got a lot of feathers but we just can't fly
We flap all around if we ever try
When we see the farmers coming with a bucket
We hope we dont end up as a Chicken McNugget
It ain't no fun, oh being a chicken on the run
Chorus: Chicken noises
"Lizard Skynnard"
All words, music and instrumentation by: Heath Whitehead
I'm an Iguana,
From Tijuana
I love my momma,
And I just eat lasagna
I got a sister named Rhonda
She drives a Honda
I got a girlfriend named Yolanda
Shes a primma donna
My best friend is a llama
He wears pink pajamas
And he lives in the Bahamas
With his friend the Anaconda
We like to listen to Madonna
And that's all I wanna
Sing about this Iguana song, doop doobee doo. Yeah!
"Monkey Dance"
All words, music and instrumentation by: Heath Whitehead
The other day I went with my mommy and I went with my daddy to the zoo
We saw the lions and the tigers, the bears and zebras and a duck billed platypus too
And then I saw the funniest thing that I think that I ever will see
A monkey in a cage was hanging from a tree
And doing everything like me
Oh monkey, monkey, monkey, monkey, monkey, monkey, monkey, monkey, monkey, monkey,
monkey, in a tree
Oh monkey, monkey, monkey, monkey, monkey, monkey, monkey, monkey, do the monkey
dance with me
Oh monkey, monkey, monkey, monkey, monkey, monkey, monkey, monkey, monkey, monkey,
monkey, in a zoo
Oh monkey, monkey, monkey, monkey, monkey, monkey, monkey, monkey, dont you wanna be
a monkey too
Hey, lets do it again, faster!
One more time, super duper fast!
"Strange Little Doggie"
All words, music and instrumentation by: Heath Whitehead
I went to the pet store the other day
Just to look around
I saw the cats and the bunnies, the birds and the snakes and a hog that lives in the ground
But then I saw the cutest little puppy that anyone could ever see
I paid the shop owner whose name was Elvis
And I took the puppy home with me
Well I got him home and I fed him some bananas
And I put him in some overalls
Then my little pet puppy did the strangest thing
He looked at me and said "meow"
Well my little doggie said meow
What do you think of that
My silly little puppy is so confused
He thinks that he's a cat
So I sat him down and I explained at length
Just what a little doggie should say
And that the other dogs would laugh if he said meow
When he went outside to play
And he just sat there drooling with a smile on his face
Sniffing at my shoe, peeyew
Then his nose turned up
He fell on his back
And he looked at me
And he said "Moo"
My little puppy just said moo
And he wrinkled up his brow
My little puppy is kinda weird
He thinks that hes a cow
I said you silly dog you dont say moo
But he just looked at me and ate some butter
So I said the other dogs would think he's weird
And their laughter would be swift and utter
And I showed him how dogs say bark and woof
I showed him how they run and leap
But he just scratched his ear and he ate some baloney
And he looked at me and then said Cheep
Oh my little mongrel just said cheep
Isn't that absurd
My silly little puppy is a little loopy
He thinks that he's a bird
So I gave up
I just quit trying
To tell him what a doggie should say
He's my puppy even though he's strange
And I love him anyway
Then he looked up from eating a corn dog
I think he shook his head
He licked me on the nose
He stood up on his feet
And this is what he said
"Mr. Heath, self expression and learning are better fostered without conventional rules that bind
creativity and reinforce complacency...woof!"
"Red Means Stop"
All words, music and instrumentation by: Heath Whitehead
Red means stop
Yellow means slow
The only color left
Is Green, let's go!
Chorus
We're driving in our cars
We're riding down the street
And we can wave hello
To the people that we meet
And maybe we can go
To the ice cream shop
But then we see a red light
So now we have to stop
Red means stop
Yellow means slow
The only color left
Is Green, don't you know
"The Things Ive Seen"
All words, music and instrumentation by: Heath Whitehead
Have you ever seen a horsefly
Can you tuna fish
Once I found a diaper genie
And I tried to make a wish
I have seen a toilet bowl
That had a royal flush
I tried to cheer up a blue bird
And I've seen a tooth brush
Some potatoes have eyes
Oh and corn has ears
Once I wore an earwig,
But then it was hard to hear
I have seen a cat fish one time
When I was out fishin'
But the weirdest thing I've ever seen
Was an honest politician
And I listened to a fiddler crab
And a shoe horn
And I got a baby shower
On the day that I was born
I once got in car pool
And I had some mousse on my head
I slept in a pup tent
And I found a river bed
I wouldn't ever eat a unicorn
They always serve it to me rare
And my life was always Sonny
Till I found I had to Cher
And I have seen a housefly
And I rode on a water wheel
I learned even when you are the Captain
Sometimes you still have Tenille
Oh I once I ate a corn dog
And I wore some parachute pants
And I saw a bank run
And I watched a barn dance
Once I saw a tuna melt
And saw a jumping bean
And I don't know if you believe this song
But these are the things I've seen
Yes, these are the things I've seen
"Sounds Gross"
All words, music and instrumentation by: Heath Whitehead
Who was the first guy to ever eat an egg
Why did he do it and did he have to beg
Why do you think with all the food he cold be pickin'
That he'd eat something
that came out of the bottom of a chicken
I don't know
I just don't know
It's one of those things
That when you think about it
It just kinda sounds gross
Who was the first guy to try some milk drinkin'
Why did he do it
And what was he thinkin'
He must have just been really really thirsty
To drink something that came out of a Heifer or a Jersey
I don't know
I just dont know
It's one of those things
That when you think about it
It just kinda sounds gross
Chorus
Oh and with all of the food
That you could eat
Maybe some chocolate or a big ol' hunk of meat
Ice cream candy and some chocolate cake
So why would anybody ever want to eat a snake
Or a lizard or some fish eggs
Or frog legs
And toes
Oh I just don't know
Who was the first guy
To ever eat a snail
Why did he do it
What did it entail
Do you think the snail said try me
Why would you eat something
So really gross and slimy
I don't know
I just don't know
It's one of those things
That when you think about it
It just kinda sounds gross
Who was the first guy
To ever eat a frog
Did he find it sittin' underneath a log
What would be the impetus to try
Something that lives out of a diet made of flies
I dont know
I just dont know
Its one of those things
That when you think about it
It just kinds sounds gross
CHORUS
"Mosquito"
All words, music and instrumentation by: Heath Whitehead
Chorus: Mosquito, Mosquito, dum de dum de diddly day
Mosquito, Mosquito, dum de diddly day
I want to land right on your knee
I want to get some food for me
I want to land right on your back
And get myself a tasty snack
Mosquito, mosquito dum de diddly day
Bzzzzz, splat! missed him!
Chorus
I want to land right on your leg
And have myself a little swig
I want to land right on your tummy
And have a taste of something yummy
Mosquito, mosquito dum de diddly day
Bzzzzz, splat! missed him!
Chorus
I want to land right on your head
And have a drink thats warm and red
I want to land right on your nose
And get some food thats kinda gross
Mosquito, mosquito dum de diddly day
Bzzzzz, splat! Got him!
Chorus
"Snow"
All words, music and instrumentation by: Heath Whitehead
It's getting cold, it's gonna snow
The temperature is ten below
And some snowballs we're gonna throw
Oh when it finally begins to snow
And we'll dress warm when it snows
'Cause we don't wanna freeze our toes
And oh do you suppose
We'll build a snow man when it snows
We like it when the cold wind blows
We'll build a snow fort and eat snow
But we don't eat it if it's yellow
Oh me oh my that would be gross
We'll play outside and shout hello
To those we do and do not know
We'll have fun till its time to go
Its getting cold, its gonna snow
We'll play until our mom says whoa!
It's getting cold, please let it snow
snow, snow, snow, snow, snow, etc.
"Now I Lay Me"
All words, music and instrumentation by: Heath Whitehead
Now at night the sandman comes
With the setting of the sun
When the heat of the day is gone
Now I lay me down
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray dear Lord my soul you'll keep
Now I lay me down
The evening sky is purple red
Goodnight stories in my bed
Tales of heroes in my head
Now I lay me down
If I die before I wake
I pray dear Lord
My soul you'll take
Now I lay me down
A goodnight kiss upon my lips
When the sun behind horizon dips
Into the arms of slumber slip
Now I lay me down
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray dear Lord my soul you'll keep
If I die before I wake
I pray dear Lord my soul you'll take
Now I lay me down
Now I lay me down
"8 Bells"
All words, music and instrumentation by: Heath Whitehead
When you go to sleep at night
Close your eyes unto the light
And dream away the darkness
Till the morning wakes you with 8 bells
I will tuck you into bed
With a goodnight story then I'll kiss your head
And you will slumber blissful through the night
Until the morning wakes you with 8 bells
So don't you worry, don't you fear
Mommy and Daddy are sleeping near
And we will rise to greet the new day
When the morning wakes us with 8 bells
So wish upon a star and see
You can become what you believe
And keep your wishes with you till
The morning wakes you with 8 bells
Merci!
Heath would like to thank first of all God, for allowing him to make a living by singing silly songs,
his beautiful wife Tiffany for all of her (unseen by the public) hard work, dedication, support and
kisses, his daughter London, for just being so incredibly cute and allowing him to test out his
music on her, Tye Robison and Artisan Recording Studio for all of their great help and production, and all of the wonderful and supportive children, parents and staff at the schools at which he sings.

"Goober Peas" Civil War Song
Sitting by the roadside on a summer's day
Chatting with my mess-mates to pass the time away
Lying in the shadows underneath the trees
Goodness how delicious eating goober peas
Chorus:
Peas, peas, peas, peas
Eating goober peas
Goodness how delicious
Eating goober peas.
When a horse-man passes, the soldiers have a rule
To cry out their loudest, "Mister, here's your mule?"
But another custom, enchanting-er than these
Is wearing out your grinders, eating goober peas.
Chorus
Just before the battle, the General hears a row
He says "The Yanks are coming, I hear their rifles now."
He looks down the roadway and what d'you think he sees?
The Georgia Militia eatin' goober peas.
Chorus
I think my song has lasted just about enough
The subject's interesting but the rhymes are mighty rough.
I wish the war was over so free from rags and fleas
We'd kiss our wives and sweethearts, say good-bye to goober peas.
Chorus
"Dry Bones" Spiritual Written by: Unknown, copyright: unknown
Ezekiel cried, "Dem dry bones!" (3 times)

The knee bone connected to the thigh bone.
The thigh bone connected to the back bone.
The back bone connected to the neck bone.
The neck bone connected to the head bone.
Oh hear the word of the Lord!
Dem bones, dem bones gonna walk aroun' (3 times)
Oh hear the word of the Lord!
The head bone connected to the neck bone,
The neck bone connected to the back bone,
The back bone connected to the thigh bone,
The thigh bone connected to the knee bone,
The knee bone connected to the leg bone,
The leg bone connected to the foot bone,
Oh, hear the word of the Lord!
