School bell rings, I'm racing out the door Got my mind on something that I've been waiting for I want a tall glass of milk and a stack of oreo's There's something in my driveway with a big slimey nose There's a cow parked in my driveway Plain as it could be There's a cow parked in my driveway Would someone please help me So I picked up my books and I picked up my jaw I ran into the house to tell mom what I saw There's a note on the 'fridge: out of milk, love mom I'm gone to the market and I won't be long There's a cow parked in my driveway A thought just came to me There's a cow parked in my driveway Maybe there's milk for free So I called up Billy and I called up Sue I've got a cow in my driveway and I don't know what to do Milk comes out of cows but I don't know where to start Cause there's too many handles and there's too many parts There's a cow parked in my driveway Come on over and see There's a cow parked in my driveway Come figure this out with me So we cranked on her tail and we patted her nose We blew in her horns and we tickeled her toes Billy pulled this and Susie pulled that But all that happened was a big ker-splat Now there's a cowpie in my driveway That's all she gave today There's a cowpie in my driveway That's all I have to say © by David Lee Brown, Larry Olson and James Hersch

Going down the trail Tell me what we'll see maybe a blue jay high In a maple tree Smell the prairie grass hear the river run Going down the trail Where we learn for fun See the old dead tree Standing all alone Where the birds and the bees Find a sheltered home We can touch the earth Maybe plant a seed Follow nature's path Wherever it may lead We can sing a song Play a nature game We can find a bird That says it's name... chi-ka-dee-dee-dee We can look for snakes We can look for frogs We can look for bugs Underneath a log We all use this earth We all play a part What the earth will teach We better learn by heart We all have a place Every living thing We all have a song Everyone can sing © by James Hersch

Let the moon dance over the milky way Let the sun come and chase it away Let the shadows grow deep You're off to sleep Safe under Grandma's covers A patchwork of colors and yarns To hold you as surely as Grandma's arms Here in the dark you know each patch by heart Safe under Grandma's covers The angels watch from above On a little bed covered in Grandma's love Here in the dark you know each patch by heart Safe under Grandma's covers Chorus The corduroy patches are wearing thin The satin and velvet ones too By the way your little hands Are holding these strands It's almost like they could bring Grandma Right here to you Maybe they do Chorus © by James Hersch

La Mama 02:20
La la la listen to your mama La la la listen to your mama She knows all Don't drag mud on the carpet Wipe your feet Don't do crayons upon the wall La la la listen to your papa La la la listen to your papa When he says Better jump in the bath tub Brush your teeth Just one book and it's off to bed La la mama La la papa La la la listen to your grandma La la la listen to your grandma It's not hard She will buy you a bunch of new toys And put them all on grandpa's credit card La la la listen to your mama La la la listen to your papa When they say Don't go out with musicians Find a lawyer, a doctor Or maybe a CPA © by James and Candy Hersch

Moose (free) 02:09
A Moose that has no antlers A Moose that has no hooves A Moose that likes to drink my juice And go WOOF, WOOF A Moose that sleeps in the girls bathroom When she takes a nap A Moose that likes to sit on my lap She likes to chase sticks She likes to play tricks She likes to try and ring the bell She likes to jump up on you To say 'How do you do?' She likes to steal food from Mel She likes to dig in the sand She likes to slobber on your hand She likes to jump in Ronnie's bed She likes to go off the trail She likes to chase her tail She likes to sit on Roxie's head

On the Bus 01:53
On the bus, on the bus Sing about us On the bus Don't put your backpack in the aisle Or your friends might wind up in a pile On the bus, on the bus Sing about us On the bus It's OK to talk but it's not OK to shout Don't stand up in your seat or you might tumble out On the bus, on the bus Sing about us On the bus Say hi to the driver then leave the driver alone They have a job to do, they've got to get you home On the bus, on the bus Sing about us On the bus

Good night to the moon and stars Good night to my trucks and cars To my baseball glove To the toys I love Good night one and all, good night Good night to the moon and stars Good night to my dinosaurs To my favorite doll And my basketball Good night one and all, good night To the panda bear in the rocking chair To the sleepy children everywhere Good night to the moon and stars Good night to my own back yard To the fort in the tree To my whole family Good night one and all, good night © by James and Candy Hersch

about

James Hersch Minneapolis, Minnesota

I live on this piece of prairie. I'm passionate and dedicated to writing songs in hopes of singing them for people. I don't think I could continue without both ends of that process. Create then hope. It's here I write songs, and here I wait to sing them for others. ... more
