HEY JOHN!
(Kevin Becker)

1. Hey John! let's go to the shore
Let's hear the waves roar
As they come crashing in
Hey John! We'll go and explore
What we've not seen before
Come and let us begin

You ran to the ocean with your head held high
Smiling and leading the way
Caught by surprise when the waves knocked you over
But you were out there the next day

2. Hey John! let's go to the fair
We'll see all that's there
And then go on the rides
Hey John! you'll go up and down
On the Merry-Go-Round
Keep your eyes open wide

Strapped in the saddle, your mom by your side
Anxiously waiting and then........
Holding on for dear life as that horse came alive
Still you wanted to ride him again

3. Hey John! let's watch the steam trains
Give the engines their names
As they puff right on by
Hey John! let's all climb aboard
An adventure's in store
As we take the "short ride"

You looked out the window, saw smoke streaming by
Excited, you thought it was great
But then you nearly jumped out of your seat
When the steam whistle screamed at the gate

4. Hey John! let's sing a new song
Your voice sounds so strong
When you sing out so loud
Hey John! we hope you'll agree
That your singing at three
Really made us feel proud

Eagerly bringing your chair to the stage
You climbed up to join Mom and Dad
Your train hat in hand you sang "I've Been Working
On the Railroad" and you were so glad

5. Hey John! let's share in the joy
Of our new baby boy
Who was born yesterday
Hey John! let's go and make sure
David's warm and secure
As he comes home today

You tugged at his carseat and grabbed his small hand
With excitement your face was aglow
You reached in the blanket and tickled his feet
And said "David has such tiny toes"

6. Hey John! let's go to the shore
Let's hear the waves roar
As they come crashing in
Hey John! we'll go and explore
What we've not seen before
Come let us begin

Hey John! we love you for sure!
