lyrics
Whenever I sing a sing-along song
Some folks never want to sing along.
But here's a twist you can't resist...
Everybody yawn!
This is the yawn along song.
Everybody yawn along.
Stretch your arms from dusk to dawn
And yawn, yawn, yawn.
Like dandelions on the lawn,
One inspires a dozen spawn.
It's outrageous, it's so contagious!
Everybody yawn!
This is the yawn along song.
Everybody yawn along.
Stretch your arms from dusk to dawn
And yawn, yawn, yawn.
Scientists have no clue why we yawn,
We just do.
To cool our brains or stretch our brawn,
Whenever that breath is drawn,
It catches on!
A dog, a lion, turtle or fawn,
Even a fish if he's put upon
Will stretch a jaw, open his maw,
And yawn, yawn, yawn!
This is the yawn along song.
Everybody yawn along.
Stretch your arms from dusk to dawn
And yawn, yawn, yawn.
Yawn, yawn, yawn, yawn, yawn!
Some folks never want to sing along.
But here's a twist you can't resist...
Everybody yawn!
This is the yawn along song.
Everybody yawn along.
Stretch your arms from dusk to dawn
And yawn, yawn, yawn.
Like dandelions on the lawn,
One inspires a dozen spawn.
It's outrageous, it's so contagious!
Everybody yawn!
This is the yawn along song.
Everybody yawn along.
Stretch your arms from dusk to dawn
And yawn, yawn, yawn.
Scientists have no clue why we yawn,
We just do.
To cool our brains or stretch our brawn,
Whenever that breath is drawn,
It catches on!
A dog, a lion, turtle or fawn,
Even a fish if he's put upon
Will stretch a jaw, open his maw,
And yawn, yawn, yawn!
This is the yawn along song.
Everybody yawn along.
Stretch your arms from dusk to dawn
And yawn, yawn, yawn.
Yawn, yawn, yawn, yawn, yawn!

HORRIBLE SONGS FOR CHILDREN
