Noses 03:25
Noses Jan Hauenstein (Em) (D) (C) (B7) (Em)"My nose is long and (Am)gray and elegant," Says (B7)gleefully and happily the (Em)little elephant. "I wiggle my nose so (Am)fine and so funny!" Re(B7)plies the nice little (Em) Easter Bunny. (C)"My nose is way (G)up in the air," Says the gi(Am)raffe, "I can smell the (D)scent from anywhere Of the (C)leaves that my beautiful (G)nose has found, That (Am)wouldn't be so easy if my (D)nose were closer to the (G)ground." The (Em)tapir has a thick fat nose that (Am)looks quite funny, (B7)"Oy!" marvels the gray old (Em)Easter bunny. "I can smell everything!" (Am)says the tapir, (B7)"Everything, really every(Em)thing, my dear!" (C)"Is that so great then?" asks the (G)Easter Bunny, (Am)"Sometimes no nose would be (D)oh so good, my honey!" And (C)now it's your turn, you (G)clever child, do tell, Which (Am)scents smell as bad as a (D)fat rat’s ass in (G)hell? And (Em)your nose sits in the (C)middle of your face, (D)Right in the middle, and (G)that’s a good place, On either (C)side of the head it would (G)look kind of bad, But (Am)it’s in the middle, looks (D)nice, and that is (G)that. The (Em)anteater’s nose is so (Am)long and fine, It’s (B7)so much longer than (Em)yours and mine. It’s not hard to guess what the (Am)anteater eats, (B7)Ants all the time, he pre(Em)fers them to sweets. The (C)long-nosed coati spends (G)all day asleep, She (Am)dreams coati dreams that are (D)sweet and deep. Then she (C)hunts and eats (G) all day long, And when she’s (Am)eaten enough, she hums a (D)happy co(G)ati song. The (Em)long-nosed monkey’s nose (Am)looks quite funny, (B7)"Oy!" marvels the gray old (Em)Easter Bunny. "What's the long nose for?" "I (Am)can’t really tell, I (B7)only know my wife (Em)likes it oh so well!" The (C)nose nuffel does not e(G)xist, and that’ s so sad, What a (Am)beautiful face he (D)would have had! And the (C)nose nuffelette with the (G)crimson toes Would’ve often (Am)tickled the nose nuffel’s (D)long and lovely (G)nose. And (Em)your nose sits in the (C)middle of your face, (D)Right in the middle, and (G)that’s a good place, By (C)far the best place, (G)all the experts say, And (Am)even when it runs, it (D)never runs a(G)way, Even (Am)when it runs, it (D)never runs a(G)way!

The Bicorn 02:39
The Bicorn Jan Hauenstein (C) (F) (C) (G) The (C)bicorn stands a(F)round in the meadow, (Am)Muzzles up the grass and looks a(G)round for its shadow.

(F)That's why riders (Am)usually ride a horse, The (F)bicorn is hardly ever (Dm7)used as a (G)mount, of course. (G7) The (C)bicorn has reason to be (F)proud, you see, Thinks, 'The (Am)unicorn has one horn (G)less than me! And (F)I give milk for (Am)many a thirsty kid. The (F)unicorn never (Dm7)does that, the (G)stupid wit!' (G4) (G) (Em)When bicorns meet, they say (C)‘moo’, not ‘meow’, (D)That's how you know the (G)bicorn is a cow, (Em)With two strong horns and a (C)beautiful face, And it (D7)trots around with a (G)certain clumsy grace. (G7) The (C)bicorn doesn't fancy (F)standing in a stable, It (Am)thinks: “I’d really, really (G)love to be able To (F)slowly trot around, (Am)eat and be lazy, You (F)humans are stupid (Dm7) and completely (G)crazy!” (G7) The (C)bicorn stands a(F)round in the meadow, (Am)Muzzles up the grass and looks a(G)round for its shadow. (F)Then it sees more grass, and it (Am)really likes to eat, And it (F)seems to think, (Dm7) “Grass is such a yummy (G)treat!” (G7) The (C)bicorn thinks: “Now I’ve (F)thought enough, And (Am)thinking too much can be (G)kind of rough. I’d (F)much rather now roll a(Am)round in the dirt, If I (F)think even more, (Dm7) my head will surely (G)hurt!” (G4) (G) And (Em)then, if a fast train (C)races by, The (D)bicorn instead (G)looks at the sky. The (Em)bicorn has stopped (C)thinking for the day, It (D7)trots around and whiles the day a(G)way, It whiles away the day!

What Do We Know About The Dog? Jan Hauenstein (G) (Em) (C) (D7) What (G)do we know about the (Em)dog? The (C)dog can find his (D7)way in a fog, He (Em)usually looks more pleasant than a (C)big green frog. He (D)yaps and barks and (G)barks some more, Which (C)often does not please the (D)folks next door. (D7) If the (G)dog is still very (Em)small, He is (C)not house-trained at (D7)all. That (Em)smell is rarely fine, I re(C)call. And (D)when the carpet is (G)cleaned and dried, You have to (C)train him to do his (D)business outside. (D7) The (G)dog loves you and your (Em)spouse, (C)Lives in a hut (D7)or in the house, He (Em)chases the cat (C)and the mouse. You (D)have to run around (G)all around the clock, Be(C)cause you have to (D)walk the dog. (D7) The (E)truth is not always com(Am)pletely sweet: (D)Most dogs, it’s true, (G)only eat meat. If (E)you're a vegetarian, (Am)it’s a safe bet For (C)you, the dog is per(D)haps the (G)wrong pet to get. (Em) (C) (D7) The (G)dog, it is known by (Em)all, Can (C)be very big or (D7)very small, He can be (Em)cute or as ugly as (C)old man Paul. He (D)has a quick tongue, and (G)when you come close, (C)Zappzarapp! He will (D)lick your nose. (D7) In(G)deed, the dog can run for (Em)many a mile, But after(C)wards he often wants to (D7)sleep for quite a while, And he (Em)yawns as loudly as a (C)crocodile. When he (D)closes his eyes (G)gently, you know You can(C) rest and relax for an (D)hour or so. (D7) The (E)dog is bigger than a (Am)flea, But (D)smaller than a big dino(G)saur, That's (E)always the case with (Am)dogs, you see, Now you (C)know (D) more than before. So (G)that's what we know a(Em)bout the dog, The (C)dog can find his (D7)way in a fog, He (Em)usually looks more pleasant than a (C)big green frog. He (D)yaps and barks and (G)barks some more, Which (C)often does not please the (D)folks next door. But (C)if you love your (G)hound, You (C)love him (D)all year (G)round!

about

15 songs, for children and adults. Songs that are easy to understand and also a few that require more concentration. No strings, no recorders, real music.
Children are often underestimated and parents unnecessarily tortured with lalala-drivel.
Strong fat fairies, information about dogs, bicorns (not the hat) and uniquehorns, wizards, chubby princesses...
46 minutes, folk, blues, real rock.
Leevke and Tomke have already heard some songs and were happy.
Great Christmas gift for kids, parents and grandparents.
