Secrets Timmy Abell I once had a secret, tried so hard to keep it I tucked it quite safely away in my head To the person who whispered it to me - I promised That nothing about it would ever be said A cat in a bag becomes very uncomfortable Birds in a cage become eager to fly Pen something in, it will try to get out A secret can't wait to get whispered about Now this mischievous secret, I could not believe it Was seeking a way to get out of my head In a chat with a friend it appeared that his ears Were begging to hear something secret instead I gave it some thought and it seemed I should not Keep a secret away from my very best friend So a promise was made and I whispered it in And the secret had managed to move on again Chorus Well the secret was eager to find other ears I'm afraid with my friend that it didn't take long He gave some resistance, but two younger sisters With giggles convinced him to whisper it on The secret was thrilled, and it soon had the girls Plan a neighborhood party for all of their friends The next thing I knew it was me they included And the secret was whispered to me once again Chorus If you let the cat out of the bag it might scratch But the door of a cage is to set something free With a life of its own, if your secret gets out Have no doubt that it's bound to be whispered about Chorus (© 2005, Local Honey Music, ASCAP)

I'm My Own Grandpa Dwight Latham and Moe Jaffe Many many years ago, when I was twenty-three I got married to a widow who was pretty as could be The widow had a grown up daughter who had hair of red My father fell in love with her, and soon the two were wed Well, that made Dad my son-in-law which almost changed my life My daughter was my mother, though she was my father's wife To complicate the matter even though it brought me joy I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy That little boy, he then became a brother-in-law to Dad Which made him my uncle, which made me kind of sad Because if he was my uncle, then he also was the brother To the widow's grown-up daughter, who of course was my step-mother My father had a little boy, which kept him on the run The kid he was my grandchild though he was my father's son My wife is now my mother's mother, which makes me kind of blue To think that though she is my wife, she's my grandmother too Because if she is my grandmother, then I am her grandchild Now every time I think of this, it almost drives me wild For I've become the strangest sight that anyone ever saw As husband to my grandmother, I am my own Grandpa.... Oh I'm my own Grandpa, I'm my own grandpa It seems funny I know, but really it's so I'm my own Grandpa (© 1947 General Music Publishing Co., Inc.)

Like Love Timmy Abell As I went out in the world one day Sun and moon and stars above I met two fish along my way Theres nothing in this world like love One fish said to the other Look! Were living in water! I said Hey, thats a little like love Aha! Thats a little like love. Water, water, its all around Without the water those fish would drown Its what they need.... to glide along Its a little like love As I went out in the world one day Sun and moon and stars above I met two birds along my way Theres nothing in this world like love One bird said to the other, Look! Were flying free...together! I said Hey, thats a little like love Aha! Thats a little like love. The sky, the air.... its everywhere Flying high, without a care Its where they play and find their wings Its a little like love As I went out in the world one day Sun and moon and stars above I met two trees along my way Theres nothing in this world like love One tree said to the other, Look whats flowing here inside us! I said Hey, thats a little like love Aha! Thats a little like love. Theres sap in the leaf and the twig and limb Root and flower, its all one thing Flows from the source through everything Its a little like love I dove to the bottom of the deepest sea Looked to the sky and spread my wings Searched the forest on the mountaintop Then I remembered .... every day I hear your voice or see your face Theres nothing in this world like love .................... Like love (© 2005, Local Honey Music, ASCAP)

Turkey in the Straw Traditional Well I had a little chicken but she wouldn't lay an egg So I poured hot water up and down her leg Well the little chicken cried, and the little chicken begged The little chicken laid me up a hard-boiled egg! Turkey in the straw, turkey in the hay Roll 'em up, twist 'em up - a - high tuck-a-haw And twist 'em up a tune called the Turkey in the Straw Well, I went to the river but I couldn't get across So I paid five dollars for an old blind horse Well, he wouldn't go ahead but he wouldn't stand still He just went up and down like an old saw mill Chorus Well I had a little duck and his name was Blue And a white duck, pretty duck, he was, too Well the skin on his chest was as tight as a drum Every time he took a step he went Tweedle-dum-a-dum Chorus Well I went down to Asheville and I walked around a block And I walked right into the bakery shop I pulled two doughnuts right out of the grease And I handed the lady a five cent piece Well..... she..... looked at the nickel and she looked at me And she said, "This nickel's no good, you see There's a hole in the middle and its all the way through." Says I, "There's a hole in your doughnuts too!" Chorus Well if frogs had wings and snakes had hair And automobiles went a flyin through the air Well if watermelons grew on a huckleberry vine Wed all have winter in the summertime Chorus Did you ever go a-fishin' on a hot summer day And you walked on a log, and the log gave away? Sugar in the gourd and honey in the horn Never been so happy since the day I was born Chorus

Peace Will Dawn Timmy Abell ~~ Its darkest right before the dawn So no one knows when peace will come Its like times we feel lost in the dark When love goes hiding from our hearts But then the suns rays split the night And scatter darkness into light Wake up, wake up ...... its a brand new day Another chance for peace to find a way ~~ Around and round the seasons go Summer rains and winter snow Changing.....changing every day So clouds of war can fade away Just let the world keep spinning round Thats how the proper time is found As winter finds its way to spring A path to peace is unfolding ~~ Wise men say that nothing lasts Time goes on, This, too, shall pass. Right now were here inside this song ........Then another comes along There is one thing, though, deep inside It never changes, ........never dies The part of us where love begins Goes on and on.... and never ends ~~ Many rivers flow down to the sea Many hearts together.... lead to peace Then rising high, then raining down The water circles round and round Tomorrow brings another day The seasons somehow find their way If love goes on and on and on...... Peace in our hearts will surely dawn If love goes on and on and on...... Then peace on earth will surely dawn (© 2005, Local Honey Music, ASCAP)

All Is Well Timmy Abell Bells are ringing, children singing Laughing, trudging homeward weary Clocks are chiming and reminding Time has come to be unwinding All is well, the day is ending Soon to leave you sleeping deeply Dreaming on your distant shore And peaceful evermore Sun is sinking, slowly weaving Colors through the velvet evening Moon is rising, stars aligning Through your window sweetly shining Chorus Drowsy yawning, head is nodding Sleepy winking eyes are blinking Voices fading, lambs parading Pillow softly stills your thinking Chorus (© 2005, Local Honey Music, ASCAP)
