Give them original and fresh songs in the stylistic ballpark of The Wheels On The Bus, Skip To My Lou, Pop Goes The Weasel, etc. Quoting the source: "I'm not looking for educational songs or lullabies for this one. Songs need to be fun and playful with easy lyrics that children will understand. Themes can't be too mature. Age range is around 3-7 years old." Submit Mid-to-Up-Tempo Songs that instantly grab and hold the attention of the little tykes in the age range mentioned. Your production must be clear and focused, with an inviting vocal performance. Please submit one to three songs online or per CD, include lyrics. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI and must be received no later than Tuesday, June 17, 2014. TAXI #S140617CH

Lyrics

I’m A Big Kid Now
By Bruce Bergh


I raise my hands and clap, clap, clap
Clap, clap, clap. Clap, clap, clap
I raise my hands and clap, clap, clap
I’m a big kid now

I raise my foot and stomp, stomp, stomp
Stomp, stomp, stomp. Stomp, stomp, stomp
I raise my foot and stomp, stomp, stomp
I’m a big kid now

I close my eyes and blink, blink, blink
Blink, blink, blink. Blink, blink, blink
I close my eyes and blink, blink, blink
I’m a big kid now

I spread my arms and turn, turn, turn
Turn, turn, turn. Turn, turn, turn
I spread my arms and turn, turn, turn
I’m a big kid now: All together now-

Clap, clap, clap. Stomp, stomp, stomp
Blink, blink, blink. Turn, turn, turn.
I can do all of these things
I’m a big kid now

To smell a flower I sniff, sniff, sniff
Sniff, sniff, sniff. Sniff, sniff, sniff
To smell a flower I sniff, sniff, sniff
I’m a big kid now

I smell a skunk, oh phew, phew, phew
Phew, phew, phew. Phew, phew, phew!
I smell a skunk, oh phew, phew, phew
I’m a big kid now

I love to sing, so la, la, la
La, la, la. La, la, la!
I like to sing, so la, la, la
I’m a big kid now

I like to laugh, so ha, ha, ha
Ha, ha, ha. Ha, ha, ha!
I like to laugh, so ha, ha, ha
I’m a big kid now

Clap, clap, clap. Stomp, stomp, stomp
Blink, blink, blink. Turn, turn, turn.
Sniff, sniff, sniff. Phew, phew, phew.
La, la, la. Ha, ha, ha.
I can do all of these things
I’m a big kid now

It’s time to make up your own verse
You can sing‘’bout anything
You can do all of these things
‘Cause You’re a Big Kid now
