Jack-In-The-Box

Jack in the box
Sits so still
Won't you come out
YES I WILL!

The More We Get Together

The more we get together, together, together
The more we get together, the happier we'll be.
For your friends are my friends
And my friends are your friends.
Oh, the more we get together, the happier we'll be.
