Alex Stangl has played a big role in many of my kids' songs, including "Pluto's Not a Planet Anymore," "Nobody Knows Where Our Bus Driver Goes," and the whole Sergio CD. Here's a new one, about the Halloween dance.
One feature of this song is that the phrase "two too" is repeated in the chorus. This is intended as an example of homophones. Teachers use my poems and songs to demonstrate various points in class, and one requested that I work in a simple example of homophones.
Two Too Disguised
Music & performance by Alex Stangl
Words by Jeff Mondak
She said that she liked me, she whispered it low
The girl at the Halloween dance
I drenched her with soda and stepped on her toe
Before I snapped out of my trance
Her eyes were like sunbeams, so warm and so bright
The girl in the octopus suit
Her tentacles flailing, we danced through the night
With magic too strong to dispute
We're two too,
Two too,
Two too
Disguised
We're two too,
Two too,
Two too
Disguised
I think that she's special, she might be the one
My future's behind that green mask
Oh, who needs the oceans, the moon or the sun?
Her beauty is all that I ask
We're two too,
Two too,
Two too
Disguised
We're two too,
Two too,
Two too
Disguised
But now it's November, yes Halloween's passed
There's no one but me who's to blame
With us in disguise from the first to the last,
I wish I had asked for her name!
We're two too,
Two too,
Two too
Disguised
We're two too,
Two too,
Two too
Disguised
