## Trivia

* This DVD uses the original 1984 master of the first video, as the closing blue message is seen, the 1993 master of the second video, and the 1999 master of the third video with a closing text message about the Raffi on Broadway album taken from one of the unknown Rounder Records copies.
* K.S.E. Promise Song is the only song of Raffi on Broadway not listed since it actually belongs to the Kids for Saving Earth organization.

### Goofs

* The booklet for the Rise and Shine Band video says that Dennis Pendrith is on the keyboards but in the actual video, he plays the bass.
Monkey

**Monkey** is a common name that may refer to certain groups or species of simian mammals of infraorder Simiiformes. The term is applied descriptively to groups of primates, such as families of New World monkeys and Old World monkeys. Many monkey species are tree-dwelling (arboreal), although there are species that live primarily on the ground, such as baboons. Most species are mainly active during the day (diurnal). Monkeys are generally considered to be intelligent, especially the Old World monkeys of Catarrhini.
No Wall Too Tall

**No Wall Too Tall** is a song on Raffi's 2009 album: Communion.

## Lyrics

People say it's hopeless, money rules the world

It rules with an iron hand, and we're helpless in its hold

People say you're crazy, you can't break that wall

It's too old, too big, too strong, it's never going to fall

I say – think of the Iron Curtain, think of Berlin,

Remember apartheid, look at the state they're in

'Cause there's no wall too tall

No wall too tall to fall

No wall, no wall too tall

Money vendors crowd the temple, survival crowds the heart

It seems there's no other way, that you're doomed before you start

But we know a greater power in the hearts of the young and old

Love for all the children, the compassion in our world

I say: No wall too tall

No wall too tall to fall

No wall, no wall too tall

Sound the call, blow the bugle, walls come a tumblin' down

In the face of the power of love, the rules start spinning around

'Cause there's no wall too tall

No wall too tall to fall

No wall, no wall too tall

No wall too tall

No wall too tall to fall

No wall, no wall too tall

Little Kristin January 28

**Little Kristin January 28** is a Raffi song on Adult Entertainment. Raffi wrote it about his baby niece Kristin Cavoukian, despite being released only for adults.

## Lyrics

You came in to this world, you were shriekin' and cryin',

Blind to the miracle all around you

Like a turned-loose slave, whose freedom astounds him,

Reaching out for someone to comfort you.

Pretty soon, you'll be filling your eyes with questions

Not knowing who brought you here or why,

And you could spend the better part of your life inquiring

Much too pre-occupied to see it slip by.

Little Kristin January 28,

There's no one person here to set you straight

There's no clear avenue out of the gate

But you know your uncle's pullin' for you all the way

Prayin' for sunshine to fill your day

He's wishing you love in abundance, and simple contentment

I want to come and serenade you,

I want cuddle and hold you

Show you all the animals at the zoo

Take you on my shoulders as I watch you getting older,

Try and guess the riddles that you put me through.

I'd gladly trade you a frog and a whole bunch of marbles

To stand for an instant inside your shoes

And Kristin, I'm hopin' you'll save me a secret

One special secret just for me and you.

Little Kristin January 28,

There's no one person here to set you straight

There's no clear avenue out of the gate

But you know your uncle's pullin' for you all the way

Prayin' for sunshine to fill your day

He's wishing you love in abundance, and simple contentment

Pig

A **pig** is any of the animals in the genus ***Sus***, within the even-toed ungulate family Suidae. Pigs include domestic pigs and their ancestor, the common Eurasian wild boar (*Sus scrofa*), along with other species. Pigs, like all suids, are native to the Eurasian and African continents, ranging from Europe to the Pacific islands. Suids other than the pig are the babirusa of Indonesia, the pygmy hog of South Asia, the warthog of Africa, and other pig genera from Africa. The suids are a sister clade to peccaries.

Lovelight

**Lovelight** is a Raffi song on Adult Entertainment. This is Raffi's last song released for adults to date, although it is not to be confused with the one sung by the Swedish pop group ABBA.

## Lyrics

Out of heaven's boundless space, this love song comes to me

And moves my mind to singin' out, the feelings I hide

The timeless smile upon your face is all I need to see

To make me feel I'm only six years old inside.

Everytime I see the light come sparkle in your eyes,

It holds me still and melts my blues away

Though many may be near to me, your love's the one I prize

Starting 'til the end of every day

Oh, can't you see the lovelight in my eyes

There was a time when songs of sadness roamed around my head

They lingered in my bed and held me all through the night

My spirit was alone, I had no one to set me free

Of my hunger for affection and a warm face to touch.

Now all that is changed, someone must have heard me in my dreams,

Lo and behold they've come true

The one that I was longing for has come into my view,

Darlin' you know it's you

Oh, can't you see the lovelight in my eyes

By heaven's grace, may fortune's favours keep our spirits high

May we never come to see the day that drinks our visions dry

In hunger and in plenty, may we never stray from love

May she guide us on this journey, we know so little of.

May your childlike wisdom always sing its song to me

Constant as your lovesong, plentiful and fancy-free

And everywhere I roam, let me find a harbour close to you

Let the evening breezes blow my love around to you

Oh, can't you see the lovelight in my eyes

## Lyrics

London rain is falling down, falling down, falling down

London rain is falling down

My oh my dear

Dreary weather makes me frown, makes me frown, upside down

Dreary weather makes me frown

My oh my dear

How I wish that I could play, I could play, I could play

How I wish that I could play

My oh my dear

Look, the sun is breaking through, breaking through, breaking through

Sun is out let's go and play, let's go play, let's go play

The rainy weather is gone away

Smile oh smile dear

## Lyrics

Well the farmer John and the farmer Jane

With the help of the sun and the falling rain

They're growin' it right—naturally!

Usin' the ways both the tried and true

Like grandma, grandpa used to do

Growin' our food—naturally!

Well it looks so good and it tastes good too!

How do they do what they do do do?

They're growin' it right—naturally!

They grow the apple-est apples and the bean-iest beans

The yellowest yellows and the greeniest greens

The yam-iest yams that you ever did see

And the corn-iest corn

Yooo hoo hoo

Well, somethings rottin' in the compost pile

Nature turns it all worthwhile

Makin' good soil—naturally!

Now see that soil with the good manure?

It's living and it's so darn pure

Feed the earth—naturally!

Oh, the good bugs chase the pests away

In the deep of night, in the light of day

Guarding our food—naturally!

We've got the tastiest, juiciest, scrumptious, the yummiest

The oh so good from your mouth to your tummy-est

Fruity-est fruit that you ever did see!

And the corny-est corn

And the cranniest cran—(berries that is!)

Oh, very funny!

And the farmer John and the farmer Jane

With the help of the sun and the falling rain

They're growin' it right—naturally!

Now, they're using the ways both the tried and true

Like grandma, grandpa used to do

Growin' our food—naturally!

They're doin' it right—naturally!

They're growin' our food—naturally!

Oh, the bite-iest bites, yummiest yums, grub-iest grub, piennious pienny, base-iest bass, silliest song, corniest corn

And the cranniest cran—(berries, that is!)

Oh me, oh my! What'll I do?

I can't find an elephant to tie my shoe.

No, you don't need a dinosaur to eat you up!

Oh me, oh my! What'll I do?

I don't have a radio to sing a song.

But I know what, and so do you,

I don't need a radio to sing a song.

No, you don't need a radio to sing a song!

## Lyrics

The more we sing together, together, together

The more we sing together, the happier we'll be

Cause your friends are my friends and my friends are your friends

The more we sing together, the happier we'll be

Oh the more we read together, together, together

The more we read together, the happier we'll be

A small book, a big book, a picture book too

The more we read together, the happier we'll be

The more we sing together, together, together

The more we sing together, the happier we'll be

Cause your friends are my friends and my friends are your friends

The more we sing together, the happier we'll be

Pancake Tortoise

**Pancake tortoises** are thin, flat shelled small tortoises just as it’s name pancake tortoise’ suggests. It’s carapace, the top side of the shell, ranges between 6-7 inches at maturity with a height of about 1 inch.

* Family: Testudinidae
* Genus: Malacochersus
* Scientific Name: Malacochersus tornieri
* Other Names: Tornier’s tortoise
* Aquatic/Land: Land
* Size: Average 7 inches (17.8 cm) in length
* Color: Brown and Goldish yellow

## Where are the Malacochersus Tornieri (Pancake Tortoise) found

    Pancake tortoises are native to East Africa, specifically southern Kenya and eastern and northern Tanzania. Other areas the species has been reported to occur include Zambia and Zimbabwe. However, their occurrence Zimbabwe is as a result of introduced populations.

Like all tortoises, the pancake tortoises are terrestrial reptiles and will generally avoid water bodies. However, their small and streamlined bodies give them an advantage compared to other tortoise species when it comes to maneuvering in water although they lack the full capacity of swimmers that includes having webbed feet.

Their natural habitat, to which they well are adapted to, is on the hillsides where they live in the rocky outcrops at altitudes of 100 to 6, 000 feet above sea level.

As for vegetation, pancake tortoises are likely to be found in areas of arid thorn scrub and savanna. They are agile and fast climbers and rarely leave their home as their defense mechanism involves escaping unlike the other members of the tortoise family who retract to their shells in case of danger.

## Malacochersus Tornieri (Pancake Tortoise) Diet

Pancake tortoises are herbivorous. In the wild, their diet consist mainly of a variety of grass both dry and fresh and some wild fruits. When domesticated, they may be fed on the same wild diet along with greens such as collard, mustard and turnip, squash, hibiscus leaves, carrots and many other common leafy greens and vegetables.

There are also commercial diets available that supplement the greens. Whichever green diet they are fed on, it is important to provide them with multivitamins and calcium as they need this for strong healthy bodies.

## Ecology and Behavior

In the wild, pancake tortoises live in isolated colonies sharing the same rocky outcrops as a home. During the mating seasons, usually in January and February, the larger males often get higher chances of mating as accessing the females is usually a fight among the males.

The winners get the chance to mate while losers have to wait for the next mating season for another mating fight before getting a chance. Females lay multiple eggs between July and August. Laying of eggs however occurs once every four to eight weeks during this period with one egg being laid at a time.

## Lyrics

If I could wave a magic wand

I would dream love, I would dream love

For the world we share

If you could wave a magic wand

Would you grow strong, would you live long?

All would be fed, all would be loved

All around the world

All would be safe, all would be free

My Way Home

**My Way Home** is a song written by Ken Whiteley from The Corner Grocery Store.

## Lyrics

There are lots of things for me to do

On my way home, I'll tell you a few

I can watch a squirrel climb up a tree

Or make a buzz like a bumblebee

And that's what I might do today

On my way home

[Harmonica solo]

When it's pouring, and it rained outside

Sometimes I wanna stay in and hide

But with my boots and raincoat, I'm okay

Splashing in the puddles, don't get in my way

'Cause that's what I might do today

On my way home

[Harmonica solo]

When it's cold and snow is on the ground

I can go to the hill and slide right down

Make a snow angel or build a snowman

Have some hot chocolate and do it again

And that's what I might do today

On my way home

[Harmonica solo]

And when it's hot I'm in sneakers and shorts

I can play tag or build some forts

I can walk alone or with my friends

Making up a song that never ends

And that's what I might do today

On my way home

Yes that's what I might do today

On my way home

## Lyrics

Mama loves it when you help her do the chores,

Mama loves it when you lend a hand.

Papa loves it when you help him do the chores,

Papa loves it when you lend a hand.

Makin dinner, folding clothes, sweeping up the floor.

Settin the table, cleaning up, tidying the room.

Well a happy home is the one where kids are pitchin in,

And they do their part to keep things going right.

A happy home is the one where kids are asking how

How can I help, Mama?

How can I help, Papa?

Oh-h-h please- let me help!

Walkin the dog, feedin the cat,

A little bit of this and little bit of that- Oh yeah.

Set the table, clean the sink, make your bed, and sweep the floor.

Mama loves it when you help her do the chores,

Mama loves it when you lend a hand.

Papa loves it when you help him do the chores,

Papa loves it when you lend a hand.
