Eagle

**Eagle** is the common name for many large birds of prey of the family Accipitridae. Eagles belong to several groups of genera, some of which are closely related. Most of the 60 species of eagle are from Eurasia and Africa. Outside this area, just 14 species can be found—2 in North America, 9 in Central and South America, and 3 in Australia.

Eagles are not a natural group, but denote essentially any bird of prey large enough to hunt sizeable (about 50 cm long or more overall) vertebrate prey.
Duck

**Duck** is the common name for numerous species in the waterfowl family Anatidae which also includes swans and geese. Ducks are divided among several subfamilies in the family Anatidae; they do not represent a monophyletic group (the group of all descendants of a single common ancestral species) but a form taxon, since swans and geese are not considered ducks. Ducks are mostly aquatic birds, mostly smaller than the swans and geese, and may be found in both fresh water and sea water.
Count With Me

**Count With Me** is a Raffi song from the 2006 album: Resisto Dancing – Songs of Compassionate Revolution.

## Lyrics

One two three, count with me

Add up what we want to see

In a world that’s fit for growing kids & good community.

Two three four, close the door

On all that we want no more

Like crime, pollution and the pain of chronic poverty.

Adding indiscriminately, that’s what’s wrong with the GDP

Counting only the money, makes no sense to me

It’s time we measured quality, the mark of true prosperity

An ***Index of Wellbeing*** for the betterment of life.

Tasty food on the table, good clean water, clean fresh air,

A recipe for growing strong in healthy family, so

One two three, count the dough

In all of what we want to grow

For living well and doing good, in joy and harmony.

An ***Index of Wellbeing*** shows all that really matters most

A picture of a peaceful life and true prosperity

Let’s embrace an economy in service of humanity

Choosing leaders everywhere who think sustainably.

Adding indiscriminately, that’s what’s wrong with the GDP

Counting only the money, makes no sense to me

It’s time we measured quality, the mark of true prosperity

An ***Index of Wellbeing*** for the betterment of life.

la la la, la la la ...

## Lyrics

I'd like to sing a song of friends

My special life's companions

Smiles that I can count on

In my weariest of times

When I'm riding low,

And peace is just a memory

I only have to think of you

And I begin to glow

And I feel like a million

Feel like a million

Feel like a million

To have the friends I do

Oh, I feel like a million

Feel like a million

Feel like a million

To know the likes of you

My shoe have a hole in it

My pants they might need mending

A downpour may have found its way

To trickling round my toes

The rent may seem impossible

Every Monday on the nose

At times like these, I know your love is with me

And it shows

And I feel like a million

Feel like a million

Feel like a million

To have the friends I do

Oh, I feel like a million

Feel like a million

Feel like a million

To know the likes of you

Oh, I feel like a million

To have the friends I do

Fakin' it Blooze

**Fakin' it Blooze** is a Raffi song from Good Luck Boy. In this song, Raffi mentions about today's events at the coffee bar's gigs such as Elvis Presley.

## Lyrics

Well, the bar seems so crazy tonight

So noisy, and the smoke is making me lazy

But don't it feel so grand

To know that I'm the man

Driving everybody to drink?

My heart goes ping

To hear that cash register sing

Ringing out the boss' favorite sounds

And it makes me think that I'm in the wrong business

Making music used to be so much fun

And I wish this stage I'm on would soon leave town

I guess I just got a case of them old familiar

What a drag it is to fake it

How much longer can I take it blues

How can I ever forget entertaining

Identical carbon copies of the latest hip styles?

Do you think I could ever regret contemplatin'

Sneakin' in through the back door of this crazy scene?

I guess I better get my mind back onto singing

The jukebox in me gets so easily distracted

And it makes me think that I'm in the wrong business

Making music used to be so much fun

And I wish this stage I'm on would soon leave town

I guess I just a got a case of them old familiar

What a drag it is to fake it

How much longer can I take it blues

Mr. Blue Suede Shoes just walked in the door

Feeling low down and just trying to shake it

Catches a glimpse of Miss 1942

Freshly arrived from the wax museum

He's done this all before but he'll do it once more

Testing out his latest batch of brand-new lies

And she surely wants it but she mustn't ever show it

And he can't say he needs her or he'll blow it again

And I wonder what is bugging Mr. Shoes right now-

Could it he's got a case of them old familiar

What a drag it is to fake it

How much longer can I take it blues?

And I wish this stage I'm on would soon leave town

I know I got a dose of them old familiar

What a drag it is to fake it

How much longer can I take it blues

Corner Grocery Store

**Corner Grocery Store** is a song from Raffi's album The Corner Grocery Store. It's similar to a song called "Quartermaster's Store".

## Lyrics

There was cheese, cheese

Walking on its knees

In the store, in the store

There was cheese, cheese

Walking on its knees

In the corner grocery store

My eyes are dim, I cannot see

I have not brought my specs with me

I have not brought my specs with me

There were plums, plums

Twiddling their thumbs

In the store, in the store

There were plums, plums

Twiddling their thumbs

In the corner grocery store

My eyes are dim, I cannot see

I have not brought my specs with me

I have not brought my specs with me

There was corn, corn

Blowing on a horn

In the store, in the store

There was corn, corn

Blowing on a horn

In the corner grocery store

There were beans, beans

Trying on some jeans

In the store, in the store

There were beans, beans

Trying on some jeans

In the corner grocery store

My eyes are dim, I cannot see

I have not brought my specs with me

I have not brought my specs with me

There was more, more

Just inside the door

In the store, in the store

There was more, much more

Just inside the door...

In the corner grocery store!

## Lyrics

Cowbell chimes and furry faces

Moo-vin' in a no fly zone

Pasture's empty, the barn is bare (there's a)

Bovine party in the air

Round 'bout midnight, cattle lowing

Nipples dangle from above

Driftin' mamas, they’re up and gone

Floatin' in a full moon love

See the cows on high on this cowlit night

With gentle light in their eyes

Hear the calves call out so sweet and mild

Eyes with a twinkle glow

Eyes in a twinkle glow

*[Whistle break]*

Starlight star bright, wish that I might

Sail through the milky way

Tail brush chocolate paint the sky

Out along the boundless bay

Out along the endless bay

On this full moon magic galaxy delight

Moon's got a cowlick grin (He-he!)

On this cud cud cuddly cowlit night

When will the cows come home

Oh we'll sing till the cows come home

See the cows on high on this cowlit night

With gentle light in their eyes

Hear the calves call out so sweet and mild

Eyes with a twinkle glow

Eyes in a twinkle glow

Good Luck Boy (song)

**Good Luck Boy** is a song off of Raffi's first album Good Luck Boy.

## Lyrics

I've been a good luck boy

Most all of my life

Never known much trouble

I guess I've nowhere to hide

Fortune did some fancy picking

To pick my ma and pa

They brought me up with home-cooked loving

And bought my first guitar

I've been a good luck boy

Most all of my life

I found me a loving woman

You know, she's just like a wife

Keeps me up when the sun goes down

I ain't one to complain

My friends all tell me since we met

I just ain't been the same I've been

[Instrumental break on guitar]

I'm feeling mighty high

I hope I start a trend

Feel like everything I've ever wanted

Was waitin' round the bend

Thanks for the cards and letters, Lord

I hope we keep in touch

And if you think you'd like to visit,

I'd like that very much

I could cook you rice and veggies, perhaps, an Armenian style.

[Instrumental break on piano]

I've been a good luck boy

Most all of my life

Never known much trouble

I guess I've nowhere to hide

Fortune did some fancy picking

To pick my ma and pa

They brought me up with home-cooked loving

And bought my first guitar

I've been a good luck boy

A good luck boy

Yes, I have.

In the doggone woods all the livelong day

All the trees they leave their mark,

Each with a different bark

Wo woof -- wo woof--

A WOOO A WOOO

[Piano intro]

[Guitar intro; followed by piano]

Love is our mother tongue, ultimate freedom song

On lips of old and young, the breath of life begun

In Homosapiens, the conscious human race

Of genes and nurture spun, the flesh in blood embrace

Love is our mother tongue, Gaia's communion song

In every nation sung, in every heart reborn

Love is the mother tongue, heart moving consciousness

Pulsing the universe, the light in all there is

Circles emerging

Networks converging

Compassion rising,

Wisdom ascending, oh

Wave after wave, wave after wave of life

Turn after turn, infinite spin of life

[Wordlessly; piano break]

Dividing mystery, evolving cautiously

It's called creation chance, the daily survival dance

Love is our mother tongue, ultimate freedom song

On lips of old and young, the breath of life begun

Circles emerging

Networks converging

Compassion rising,

Wisdom ascending, oh

Wave after wave, wave after wave of life

Turn after turn, infinite spin of life.

It is a work song, from the point of view of dock workers working the night shift loading bananas onto ships. The lyrics describe how daylight has come, their shift is over, and they want their work to be counted up so that they can go home.

Raffi recorded this song for his 1980 album, *Baby Beluga*.

Coyote

The **coyote** (*Canis latrans*) is a species of canine native to North America. It is smaller than its close relative, the wolf, and slightly smaller than the closely related eastern wolf and red wolf. It fills much of the same ecological niche as the golden jackal does in Eurasia. The coyote is larger and more predatory and was once referred to as the *American jackal* by a behavioral ecologist. Other historical names for the species include the *prairie wolf* and the *brush wolf*.
Goats

The **domestic goat** or simply **goat** (*Capra aegagrus hircus*) is a subspecies of *C. aegagrus* domesticated from the wild goat of Southwest Asia and Eastern Europe. The goat is a member of the animal family Bovidae and the subfamily Caprinae, meaning it is closely related to the sheep. There are over 300 distinct breeds of goat. It is one of the oldest domesticated species of animal, according to archaeological evidence that its earliest domestication occurred in Iran at 10,000 calibrated calendar years ago.
Five Little Ducks

**Five Little Ducks** is a song on the Rise and Shine album and the Raffi in Concert with the Rise and Shine Band video and album.

## Lyrics

Five little ducks went out one day

Over the hills and far away

Mother duck said "quack, quack, quack, quack"

But only four little ducks came back

Four little ducks went out one day

Over the hills and far away

Mother duck said "quack, quack, quack, quack"

But only three little ducks came back

Three little ducks went out one day

Over the hills and far away

Mother duck said "quack, quack, quack, quack"

But only two little ducks came back

Two little ducks went out one day

Over the hills and far away

Mother duck said "quack, quack, quack, quack"

But only one little duck came back

One little duck went out one day

Over the hills and far away

Mother duck said "quack, quack, quack, quack"

But none of the five little ducks came back

Well, sad mother duck went out one day

Over the hills and far away

Mother duck said "quack, quack, quack, quack"

And all of the five little ducks came back

Every Child

**Every Child** is a song on Raffi's 1995 album: Raffi Radio.

## Lyrics

Every child, every child, is a child of the universe

Here to sing, here to sing, a song of beauty and grace

Here to love, here to love, like a flower out in bloom

Every girl and boy a blessing and a joy

Every child, every child, of man and woman-born

Fed with love, fed with love, in the milk that's mother’s own

A healthy child, healthy child, as the dance of life unfolds

Every child in the family, safe and warm

bridge:

Dreams of children free to fly

Free of hunger, and war

Clean flowing water and air to share

With dolphins and elephants and whales all around

Every child, every child, dreams of peace in this world

Wants a home, wants a home, and a gentle hand to hold

To provide, to provide, room to grow and to belong

In the loving village of human kindness

Everything grows and grows

There’s a four legged dog

This dog is not a frog

In the rhythm of a jangly day, time for enjoyment

In the sway of the come and go, so nice to take it slow

Finding Raffi

**Finding Raffi** is a 2022 podcast series.

## Synposis

**Raffi Cavoukian** is a magical musician. His songs, like “Baby Beluga” and “Down by the Bay,” have wordplay and rhyme schemes that are as crowd-pleasing as they come — sweet, silly sing-alongs for kids and adults alike. But his work is anything but simple. Much like the folk singers who inspired him, a radical philosophy underscores all that he does. In "Finding Raffi,” comedian, writer, and podcaster Chris Garcia takes us on a journey through a 10-part series tracing Raffi’s life from aspiring folk singer to international kids’ superstar to outspoken activist for climate action and a child-centric world. Produced in partnership with Rococo Punch.
Five Little Pumpkins

**Five Little Pumpkins** is an a cappella Halloween song on Singable Songs for the Very Young and Fun Food Songs.

## Lyrics

Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate,

First one said "Oh my, it's getting late!"

Second one said "There are witches in the air,"

Third one said "but we don't care!"

Fourth one said "Let's run and run and run."

Fifth one said "I'm ready for some fun!"

Ooh ooh went the wind, and out went the lights,

And five little pumpkins rolled out of sight.

**Dylanesque In The Wind** is a Raffi 2020 song. It is adapted from Bob Dylan's song: "Blowin' In The Wind". Like Dylan Sings Quarantine, Raffi sings it in a Dylan style while Lindsay Munroe provides the backing vocals.

## Lyrics

How many days will we be in Quarantine?

How many week and months?

How will the kinds of all the modest school

Be home with their loved ones?

How many weeks and months will we be separated

From those that we love?

The answer my friend is blowing in the wind

The answer is blowing the wind

Oh, the answer my friend is blowing in the wind

The answer is up to you and me.
Five Little Frogs

**Five Little Frogs** is a Raffi song from Singable Songs for the Very Young. This is one of the few songs on the album where Raffi sings in a-capella.

## Lyrics

(spoken) *On a hot, hot, day in July...*

(singing) Five green and speckled frogs

Sat on a speckled log

Eating some most delicious bugs.

Yuuuuuuum, yum!

One jumped into the pool

Where it was nice and cool

Then there were four green speckled frogs.

Gllb, gllb.

Four green and speckled frogs

Sat on a speckled log

Eating some most delicious bugs.

Yuuuuuuum, yum!

One jumped into the pool

Where it was nice and cool

Then there were three green speckled frogs.

Gllb, gllb.

Three green and speckled frogs

Sat on a speckled log

Eating some most delicious bugs.

Yum, yum!

One jumped into the pool

Where it was nice and cool

Then there were two green speckled frogs.

Gllb, gllb.

Two green and speckled frogs

Sat on a speckled log

Eating some most delicious bugs.

Yum, yum!

One jumped into the pool

Where it was nice and cool

Then there was one green speckled frog.

Gllb, gllb.

One green and speckled frog

Sat on a speckled log

Eating some most delicious bugs.

Yum yum!

He jumped into the pool

Where it was nice and cool

Then there were...No green speckled frogs.

Green Sea Turtle

**The Green Sea Turtle** is one of the largest sea turtles in the world. They can weigh up to 500 lbs (225 kg) and reach four feet (1.2 m) in length. The adult is an herbivore, dining on sea grasses, seaweeds, algae and other forms of marine plant life. Their beak is sharp and finely serrated, perfectly adapted for grazing in seagrass beds and scraping algae off of hard surfaces.

## Distribution

This species can be found in the sub-tropics and tropics worldwide, with major nesting beaches in Tortuguero (Costa Rica), Oman, Florida, and Raine Island (Australia) where thousands of turtles nest each night during peak nesting season. They are also found nesting on French Frigate Shoals in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, Guam, American Samoa, Suriname, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands.

## Major Threats

Population declines are mainly due to harvest of their eggs and meat for human consumption. Fibropapilloma (also known as FP) is a disease associated with lesions and rapid tumor growth on the eyes, mouth, and soft-skin areas, as well as internal organs. FP, believed to be connected to ocean pollution, has greatly affected their populations, especially in Florida and Hawaii, but also the Caribbean and Australia. Other threats include plastic ingestion, boat strikes, coastal development, feeding habitat degradation, and entanglement in fishing gear.

STATUS: IUCN - listed as Endangered, Population Trend: Decreasing / ESA - eleven population segments all listed as Threatened or Endangered

## Diet

Unlike most sea turtles, adult green turtles are herbivorous, feeding on sea grasses and algae in the wild, while in captivity, they feed on lettuce and cabbage. Juvenile green turtles, however, will also eat invertebrates like crabs, jellyfish, and sponges.
