Hey John!

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!
