Secrets To Tell

Tick tock turn back the clock in Plymouth for a spell
Tick tock I’m Plymouth Rock and I have secrets to tell
Long, long, long before the day that you were born
I would look out at the bay but sad was I each morn
Lonely, lonely was I, for I needed a friend
Someone who would play with me and make me smile again
Tick tock turn back the clock in Plymouth for a spell
Tick tock I’m Plymouth Rock and I have secrets to tell
One day after a storm on the beach I saw
Clams, quahogs, and Wampanoag
Some friends for me I thought
Hey there you over there, excuse me please I said
But slowly they went away when the tide came in
Tick tock turn back the clock in Plymouth for a spell
Tick tock I’m Plymouth Rock and I have secrets to tell
Tick tock turn back the clock in Plymouth for a spell
Tick tock I’m Plymouth Rock and I have secrets to tell
Children do listen well for I have secrets to tell

Fine Day

Fine day, fine day smiling all my troubles away
Sun is shining, clouds good-byeing
Such a fine, fine day
Sunrise blue skies, weather-wise it’s A-Okay
No denying what I’m eyeing
Such a fine, fine day
Wish today could last forever
Love it I do. How about you
Madame Crab and Mr. Seagull
Are heading my way. Maybe they’ll say
Fine day, fine day, what’s your name do you wanna play
They’ll surprise me when they hi me
Such a fine, fine day
What’s your name do you wanna play
Wish today could last forever
Love it I do. How about you
Madame Crab and Mr. Seagull
Are heading my way. Maybe they’ll say
Fine day, fine day, what’s your name do you wanna play
They’ll surprise me when they hi me
Such a fine, fine day
Such a fine, fine day
Hey!

A Speck In The Distance
02:20
|
|||
It’s Winter in Plymouth, gale winds are blowing
The ocean is cold and the sun’s far away
A speck in the distance on the horizon
Has captured my interest all day today
Ooooooooooooo
I’ve watched it for hours it seems to be moving
Closer and closer growing in size
Too big for a driftwood too small for a rain cloud
This spot on the water amazes my eyes
Is it an angel come down from heaven
Or is it the play friend I’ve waited for
Is it a figment of my imagination
I’ve never seen anything like it before
A speck in the distance
A speck in the distance
A speck in the distance

Thank the Lord, thank the Lord for this large rock
We can all go ashore without getting wet socks
We set our sights on America
It’s a miracle we made it this far
We braved the cold, the wind, and rain
And England is from where we came
Now there’s only one thing left to do
To give credit where credit is due
Thank the Lord, thank the Lord for this large rock
We can all go ashore without getting wet socks
Thank the Lord, thank the Lord for this large rock
We can all go ashore without getting wet socks
We can all go ashore without getting wet socks
Now there’s only one thing left to do
To give credit where credit is due
Thank the Lord, thank the Lord for this large rock
We can all go ashore without getting wet socks
Thank the Lord, thank the Lord for this large rock
We can all go ashore without getting wet socks
We can all go ashore without getting wet socks

Ouch Stop That!

It’s very clear, you want a souvenir
I’m Plymouth Rock, a souvenir I’m not
And I wish you’d stop
Ouch stop that, stop that
I don’t like that, that’s a fact
Ouch stop that, stop that
I don’t like that, that’s a fact
I’m big and strong but I won’t be for long
Just trying to say, that I’ll be gone someday
If you keep taking me away
Ouch stop that, stop that
I don’t like that, that’s a fact
Ouch stop that, stop that
I don’t like that, that’s a fact
Tourists, Plymouth has wonderful stores with
Plymouth Rock items galore yes
Pictures and postcards and more, of me so
Ouch stop that, stop that
I don’t like that, that’s a fact
Ouch stop that, stop that
I don’t like that, that’s a fact
Ouch stop that, stop that
I don’t like that, that’s a fact
Ouch stop that, stop that
I don’t like that, that’s a fact
Ouch Stop That!

Protect This Rock
02:02
|
|||
They’ve chipped away at Plymouth Rock
For one hundred years and it needs to stop
If it goes on and on and on
Before we know it the rock will be gone
What say you Town Fathers
What say you Town Fathers
We’ll protect this rock, it marks the spot
Where they disembarked, we’ll protect this rock
Although it’s just made of granite
There’s nothing like it on the planet
The steppingstone of our forefathers
Should not be chiseled by souvenir hunters
What say you Town Fathers
What say you Town Fathers
We’ll protect this rock, it marks the spot
Where they disembarked, we’ll protect this rock
So we moved the rock but it got dropped
Oh we tried so hard to protect this rock
Rock, rock
We’ll protect this rock

Sights and sounds of the sea
I hear you calling me
Sadly I had to go
Oh how I miss you so
Don’t know how long it has been
It seems an eternity
Not a thing means more to me
Than the sights and sounds of the sea
Waves crash, onto the shore
Whoosh splash, sounds I adore
Small crustaceans, peeps of my hood
Know if I could, be with you I would
And if I had some wings, I’d fly to you and stay
Forever oh I’d never leave the sights and sounds of the sea
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
Waves crash, onto the shore
Whoosh splash, sounds I adore
Small crustaceans, peeps of my hood
Know if I could, be with you I would
And if I had some wings, I’d fly to you and stay
Forever oh I’d never leave
Fame and I just don’t agree
No, nothing is more dear to me
Than the sights and sounds
Sights and sounds
Sights and sounds of the sea

New and Wonderful Home
01:45
|
|||
I’m on the ocean again
I’m back with all of my friends
Protected by a new fancy dome
on my new and wonderful home
My crib has a brand new look
And dude it’s off the hook
The coolest place that I’ve ever known
Is my new and wonderful home
Plymouth threw a party for the Pilgrims and for me
And during the celebration, they handed me the key, to
The place where my story is told
To visitors young and old
And best of all I feel ten feet tall
in my new and wonderful home
Plymouth threw a party for the Pilgrims and for me
And during the celebration, they handed me the key, to
The place where my story is told
To visitors young and old
And best of all I feel ten feet tall
In my new and wonderful home
And best of all I feel ten feet tall
In my new and wonderful home
Hooray!

Have you ever visited me
In Plymouth Massachusetts
I’m the proudest little rock you’ve ever seen
Wanna pop on by feel free
You don’t need an invitation
To see my rockin’ place in history
I’m smaller than I once was
Yet I’m stronger and it’s because
The folks in Plymouth take great care of me
I’ve got a house down by the sea
I’d love your company
I’m Plymouth Rock, have you ever visited
Well if not, do consider it
What a spot, have you ever visited me
