You’re right, hey I feel wonderful instead

For blue can bring a tear to every eye
It’s also the color of the sea and the sky
Why yes – I’m feeling better, thanks to you.

Hey now I feel so brave that I could bellow

With flowers fed by showers and with summer growing near
Summer’s round the bend
We wish it wouldn’t end
There’s sunshine, what a fun time, we can’t wait to play with friends
Fall is down the track
And shorter days are back
The nights grow cool, we go to school with apples in our packs
Winter comes at last
The snow is falling fast
On sleds we slide, down hills we glide, hey, winter is a blast!
Toot-toot!

There are plenty of islands way out in the sea
That make things like chocolate and spice
But here we make words – well now, how can that be?
Watch closely and take my advice
Chorus 1

When the second one you’ve found, then you put ‘em both together
Now it’s time to add a third, oh it just keeps getting better
Pretty soon you have a word and it started with a letter!
Chorus 2
First you find a sound, let it grow into a letter
When the second one you’ve found, then you put ‘em both together
Now it’s time to add a third, oh it just keeps getting better

Nice word!

And sings a different tune
A different kind of play takes place
It stars the stars and moon

Dark nights, bright lights
We’ll take you to new heights

Night time, stars shine
Out on the Milky Way
Verse 3
The stars and moon, we sing our tune
Across the sky we dance
Then pretty soon, make way for noon…
"Once more it’s my big chance!"
I’ve Been Working on the Railroad
I’ve been working on the railroad
All the live long day
I’ve been working on the railroad
Just to pass the time of day

Rise up so early in the morn.
Don’t you hear the captain shouting,
"Dinah, blow your horn"?
Dinah won't you blow,
Dinah won't you blow,
Dinah won't you blow your horn?
Dinah won't you blow,
Dinah won't you blow,

Chorus
This old man, he played three;
He played knick-knack on my knee.
Chorus
This old man, he played four;
He played knick-knack on my door.
Chorus
This old man, he played five;
He played knick-knack on my hive.
Chorus
Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Twinkle, twinkle little star,
How I wonder what you are.

CD-ROM Storage and Handling
In storing and handling this CD-ROM disc, you should use the same care as you do with music CDs. If this CD-ROM disc
stops working, check to see if it is soiled by fingerprints, dust, or dirt. If so, it can be wiped clean. Always wipe the nonprinted side in a straight line, from the center to the edge with a clean, lint-free, soft, dry cloth. No solvent or abrasive
cleaner should ever be used on any CD-ROM. No further cleaning will be necessary if the CD-ROM is always held by the
edges and is replaced in its "jewel case" immediately after playing. Follow these tips and your CD-ROM will provide a
lifetime of creativity, learning, and fun.

5. Termination. This License is effective until terminated. You may terminate the License at any time by destroying the Program. KA
may, at its discretion, terminate this License in the event that you fail to comply with the terms and conditions contained herein. In

8. Limitation of Liability. NEITHER KNOWLEDGE ADVENTURE, ITS PARENT, SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES OR
LICENSORS SHALL BE LIABLE IN ANY WAY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE OF ANY KIND RESULTING FROM THE USE OF

COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, OR ANY AND ALL OTHER COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES.Some
states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incisdental or consequential damages, or allow limitations on how long an implied
warranty lasts, so the above limitations may not apply to you.
9. Equitable Remedies. You hereby agree that KA would be irreparably damaged if the terms of this License were not specifically
enforced, and therefore you agree that KA shall be entitled, without bond, other security, or proof of damages, to appropriate equitable

will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remaining portions of this License shall remain in full force and effect.
This License constitutes and contains the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes
any prior oral or written agreements. This License is the complete and exclusive statement of the agreement between KA and myself
and this License supersedes any prior or contemporaneous agreement, either oral or written, and any other communications between
