NOTE: SONGS ARE IN  BLUE FRAMES

Sunshine is cold
Let's warm up the sun
that is our goal,
to turn ourselves on.
Nothing will grow
No flowers will bloom
Sunrise is cold
Let's warm up the sun
That is our goal
to turn ourselves on

We need the sun to keep the planets turning
And if there's no heat ... we repeat
well there's just no sunburning
How can we live our lives when
there's just no heat to turn on
Our sundials they just won't work
And, Sunday will never come again
It is cold Let's warm up the sun
That is our goal to turn ourselves on.

Sun People: (After smoke or brilliant light announces His Entrance)

Here comes Johnny. He's a real cool guy
Johnny'll know where the secret lies
And if he tells us we can heat up the sun
Now tell us Johnny, won't cha tell us please
We're all so worried, please put us at ease ---->

Johnny:

I know the secret and it lies right here (lights up lemon drop)
The problem's so far, yet the answer's so near
You go over a mountain and across the sea
The answer to your problem lies under a tree ---->

Sun People:

We need the sun to keep us alive
You know it's so cold we can hardly survive

Johnny:

So you want my suggestion? Then I'll tell you now.

Sun People:

Well we've got to turn the heat on anyhow

Johnny:

Now you have to listen hard and you have to listen well
And you have to solve the secret with the clues I will tell

Sun People:

Now we have to listen hard and we have to listen well
And we have to solve the secret with the clues he will tell


Johnny:

He is the sun person we depend upon. He has the secret that will turn us on. We follow the sunnyside of the hill, until our shadow is very still. Find the Sunflower that stands the tallest - for 20 feet past it, we will find the Tsurus, then follow our sunspot to where it's most hot, for to turn on the sun we must use the spot (Johnny leaves)

One Sun Person Leader:

But what do we do if we can't find the clue
If we search all around and they just can't be found
Do we worry all day with the sun getting cold
Never hurry all play with the sun getting cold

Sun People:

Sunshine is cold
Let's warm up the sun
that is our goal,
to turn ourselves on.

Sunshine is cold
Let's warm up the sun
that is our goal,
to turn ourselves on.




Sunshine is cold
Let's warm up the sun
that is our goal
---------------------------



No flowers will bloom
Sunrise is cold
Let's warm up the sun
That is our goal
to turn ourselves on







































Leader:

Hurry and play
with the sun getting cold
never worry or play
Cause the sun is so cold

Cold and the heat
the heat just is not there
Do we sit all day
merely worry, despair


Sunshine is cold. Let's warm up the sun. That is our goal, to turn ourselves on.
Follow the clues, How can we lose? Heat up the sun. We're Number One (
Cheers)
