LET'S DANCE!

Snap your fingers & tap your toes
Bend your knees & blow your nose
Flap your elbows & wiggle your ears
Roll your eyes & shake your rears
You can dance fast or you can dance slow
Dancin' real silly's the best way, you know
Dance in your stockin's, dance in your shoes
Dance in your bare feets, there's nothin' to lose.

THE IMPORTNCE OF SILLY

There's so many things you're just learning to do
That you're not quite good at yet
Big boys and girls and grown ups, too
Can do lots of things better than you
But, do you know the one thing that all kids are good at?
The one thing they're better at than grown-ups?
Being silly.
Silly is important. Silly is good.
Always remember to never forget
To be a little silly
In everything you do
And that's something that you can teach 
The bigger people you know to do.

Unca Jeffy Overturf “Always Be Yourself (poem)” from unreleased

ALWAYS BE YOURSELF

When you go in the world today
And be with everyone else
Remember the things that make you you
And always be yourself
We learn to do by copying others
Our manners, and our work, and our play
We learn all the dos and the don'ts and the rules
Of how we should act each day
But, we're all a little bit different
With lots of special wants and likes
We're kind of the same, and kind of we're not
As Candace, or Sarah, or Mike
You may have something you're extra good at
Drawing, or spelling, or numbers
Making up funny adventure stories
Or good jumpers, or climbers, or runners
Something you may do better than your friends can
They say, "I wish I could do that like you."
But remember, be proud, but don't ever brag
Because they're better at certain things, too
They may be able to play the guitar
Or dance like a bellerina does
Some can build lots of things, with blocks or with clay
Everyone's a little bit different and I guess they always was
So when you go in the world today
And be with everyone else
Remember the things that make you you
And always be yourself

Kira Wiley “Real Gril” from Every Voice

Bob Dorough, Blossom Dearie, Essra Mohawk and Jack Shelton “Mother Necessity” from Schoolhouse Rock!
