Purple Burt:
Winner of National Parenting Publications Award, 2005
I WON'T TELL, JUST SHOW
I PLAY PIANO
AS SURPRISES GO
IT MUST HIT YOU DEEP DOWN
AND I LOVE TO SING
WHICH IS JUST THE THING
THAT MADE MY FAMILY BRING
ALL OF US TO THIS TOWN
THERE'S MORE TO ME THAN MEETS THE EYE
MUCH, MUCH, MUCH, MUCH MORE
PURPLE OR INVISIBLE
I'M JUST LIKE YOU ARE AT THE CORE
I LAUGH, I CRY, I JOKE, I RUN
I LIKE TO DRAW, I'M REALLY FUN
MY FAMILY IS THE BEST
AND I BET SO IS YOURS
I FEEL LOVE FOR THEM IN MY CHEST
EVEN WHEN THEY GIVE ME CHORES
THERE'S MORE TO ME THAN MEETS THE EYE
SO MUCH, MUCH, MUCH MORE
PURPLE OR INVISIBLE
I'M JUST LIKE YOU ARE, THAT'S FOR SURE
YOU KNOW HOW YOUR PETS THINK YOU'RE AWESOME?
I HAVE HUNG OUT WITH A POSSUM
ISN'T PIZZA REALLY GOOD?
IT'S MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE FOOD
SWIMMING IN CAKE LAKE IS GREAT
COME ON, SUMMER! I CAN'T WAIT
RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU LOVE BASEBALL
MINE'S UP, INVISIBLE AND ALL
THERE'S MORE TO US THAN MEETS THE EYE
SO MUCH, MUCH, MUCH MORE
PURPLE OR NON-PURPLE
THERE’S SOMETHING WE SHOULD ALL CALL FOR
LET'S BE FRIENDS FOR EVERMORE
MORE TO ME
(SUNG BY PURPLE BURT)
HOPE-ROPE IT!
(ON PURPLE BURT’S FIRST DAY AT SCHOOL BEING INVISIBLE,
HE SINGS THIS SONG DURING SHOW-AND-TELL)
