Whilst Larry didn't really record any children's songs, the intent of this compilation was to bring together songs that would appeal more to youngsters. Some editing aside, this release does not contain any previously unreleased material. Charles Norman described it thus: For years we've been getting letters and emails from people asking if there was a Larry Norman CD that would be perfect for kids to listen to. Many of Larry's albums contain songs intended for more adult ears (think Why Don't You Look Into Jesus, etc.). So, after polling a few fans who have kids and / or grandchildren, we thought it was time to put together a compilation of songs that would be fun for the pre-teen set. So get ready to clap your hand and sing along with your progeny to Shake Your Rattle and Crawl - Larry Norman Songs For Kids!
moses in the wilderness
[Go to Song Page]
Moses tending sheep in the fields one day
When he thought he heard a burning scrub-brush say
Gotta free your people
From the Pharaoh's hand
Gotta take 'em all to the promised land
Moses knew that God was talking to him
So he set off to Egypt with a vigor and vim
And Moses bugged the Pharaoh, he bugged him
And he bugged him
'Till he got his people freed
He used real bugs
Yes indeed, ow ow
He got his people freed
Ow ow ow ow [x2]
Moses on the banks of the wide Red Sea
He stuck out a stick and one two three
The water rolled back
And the people walked down
Everybody knew they wouldn't drown
Pharaoh told his army to bring 'em all back
An' here come the chariots, clickety clack
Why Moses took his stick
And he closed up the water
An' the 'Gyptians all took a bath
Ow ow ow ow
What a laugh
Ow they all took a bath
Ow ow ow [cough] ow
Ow ow ow ow
Dirty 'Gyptians
Grab my foot, take my hand
Lead me on to the promised land
Milk and honey, milk and honey
Milk and honey, milk and honey
Me and all my people is here
So keep on sending manna
From the atmosphere
Milk and honey, milk and honey
Milk and honey, milk and honey
After forty long years in the wilderness
They finally saw their potential metropolis
They all gave thanks
And they all praised the Lord
Even though it took time he kept his word
He grab their foot and he tooken their hand
And he brung 'em all over
To the promised land
But it seems to me like an awful long time to be
Looking for a home
Ow ow ow ow
A mighty long roam, home
Looking for a home, a home a home
Never borrow money needlessly [cough]

a note from mr god
[Go to Song Page]
I was so down
Just hanging around
Wondering what to do
When suddenly I was surprised from out of the blue
The birds sang their song as I walked along
I suddenly felt quite odd
‘Cos out of the sky fell a note from Mr God
And it said
You got the blues but you can shake it
If you have faith you can make it
You have a chance
You must take it while you can
Don't give up hope
Never lose it
You got a choice but you must choose it
And that's what it said on this note from Mr God
Ah ba la la etc
Yeah this is a song about this man who’s walking down the street and he’s had a little bit too much to drink, for about twenty years. And he sees this piece of paper on the ground and he picks it up and it’s just a, it’s just a piece of paper somebody dropped out of their bible. It’s kind of a tract you know, one of those things that somebody writes down their, their ideas about how to explain God to somebody else they want to give this piece of paper to and this person just drops it on the ground and this guy picks it up and he starts reading, thinks this is about me. How could anybody know about me? Except for God. And that’s why he thought this was a note from God. And it wasn’t. But he thought it was. But it wasn’t. But he thought it was, and that’s what’s important.
You know what happens when you start getting involved with God. Your life starts changing and you start getting kinda happy and you know, kinda messes up your viewpoint of life, you kinda change your perspective and the first thing you know you’re so glad that things have changed in your life you wanna go tell all your friends about it, and that’s what this guy did. He wanted to go back and tell all of his friends that he found this note from God and it said [Spoken]
You got the blues but you can shake it
If you have faith you can make it
You have a chance
So you must take it while you can
Don't give up hope
Never lose it
You have a choice but you know, you got to choose it
And that's what it said on this note from Mr God
So if you feel down
With your chin on the ground
And suddenly you feel odd
Well just look all around look down look down on the ground you some might see some kind of piece of paper floating around might just be a note from Mr God
I was so down
Just hanging around

at the circus
[Go to Song Page]
When I was a little boy
One thing filled my heart with joy
That's when we would go and see
All of the things at the circus
Lions, elephants and bears
Made me throw away my cares
Funny clowns with painted frowns
All of the things at the circus
Daring men and pretty ladies
Acrobats and things
Inside a box of crackerjacks
I found a diamond ring
Afterward, the long ride home
In my thoughts, so all alone
I would dream of things I'd seen
All of the things at the circus
All of the things at the circus
All of the things at the circus
When I was a little boy
One thing filled my heart with joy
That's when we would go and see
All of the things at the circus
Lions, elephants and bears
Made me throw away my cares
Funny clowns with painted frowns
All of the things at the circus
Daring men and pretty ladies
Acrobats and things
Inside a box of crackerjacks
I found a diamond ring
Afterward, the long ride home
In my thoughts, so all alone
I would dream of things I'd seen
All of the things at the circus
All of the things at the circus
All of the things at the circus
the man from galilee
[Go to Song Page]
Well a blind man standing by the side of the road
He was a blind from birth, it was a heavy load
And though he lived a good life he could not see
Up walked the man from Galilee
He touched those eyes and he made that blind man see
There ain't never been nobody like the man from Galilee
Lazarus died and for four long days
He laid in the grave and he did not raise
His sisters kept saying how can this be
Up walked the man from Galilee
He said Lazarus come forth and he was set free
There ain't never been nobody like the man from Galilee
You got to stand on the rock to get your name on the roll
Do not stray, do not stroll
If you're all messed up and don't know what to do
Then brother I am talking to you
You got to stand on the rock to get your name on the roll
Do not stray, do the stroll
If you're all messed up and don't know what to do
Then brother I am talking to you
Well they nailed him to the cross, they laid him in the ground
They put soldiers at the grave and there were people walking round
Saying this is the end of christianity
Up rose the man from Galilee
When I die I know where I want to be
Standing in the presence of the man, yeah
There ain't never been nobody like the man, yeah
Never been nobody like the man from Galilee
And this is just the beginning
Well a blind man standing by the side of the road
He was a blind from birth, it was a heavy load
And though he lived a good life he could not see
Up walked the man from Galilee
He touched those eyes and he made that blind man see
There ain't never been nobody like the man from Galilee

Well they nailed him to the cross, they laid him in the ground
They put soldiers at the grave and there were people walking round

Up rose the man from Galilee
When I die I know where I want to be
Standing in the presence of the man, yeah
There ain't never been nobody like the man, yeah
Never been nobody like the man from Galilee
And this is just the beginning

lonely boy
[Go to Song Page]
I'm in the middle of an island
I'm in the middle of a sea
I'm staying here 'cause there's no place left for me
Yay yay yay
I'm a lonely boy in a lonely world
There's no place left for me
I've been everywhere in the world there is
I've sailed the seven seas
But when I return it's always the same
No one's waiting for me
I'm a lonely boy in a lonely world
So now I'll sail the seas once more
Now I'll sail the seas
I'm in the middle of an island
I'm in the middle of a sea
I'm staying here 'cause there's no place left for me
Yay yay yay
I'm a lonely boy in a lonely world
There's no place left for me
I've been everywhere in the world there is
I've sailed the seven seas
But when I return it's always the same
No one's waiting for me
I'm a lonely boy in a lonely world
So now I'll sail the seas once more
Now I'll sail the seas

we three twogether
[Go to Song Page]
Will true love smile on you
Sometimes you never know
And I myself was lonely
Not so very long ago
Life was hard, times were bad
Heart was broken, I was feeling sad
My dreams had blown away like a feather
Could not smile, could not sleep
Nothing helped, not even counting sheep
Heart filled with rain, no change in the weather
My faithful friend
Whose name is Phydeaux
He could not chase away my blues
Ah but he tried though
Empty heart, full of strife
Then one day love walked into my life
And all at once we stood there together
Bra ba ba
Bra ba ba
Bra pa pa pa pa ba da pa da
Wha pa pa pa pa
Wha pa pa pa wa
Held our breath for a baby boy
Two months early, big fat bundle of joy
And now we three are happy together
Our dearest friend
Old faithful Phydeaux
He could not come along to the baby ward
But he tried though
Love abides, life makes sense
Great big house with a little white picket fence
And now we three are happy together
Will true love smile on you
Sometimes you never know
And I myself was lonely
Not so very long ago
Life was hard, times were bad
Heart was broken, I was feeling sad
My dreams had blown away like a feather
Could not smile, could not sleep
Nothing helped, not even counting sheep
Heart filled with rain, no change in the weather
My faithful friend
Whose name is Phydeaux
He could not chase away my blues
Ah but he tried though
Empty heart, full of strife
Then one day love walked into my life
And all at once we stood there together
Bra ba ba
Bra ba ba
Bra pa pa pa pa ba da pa da
Wha pa pa pa pa
Wha pa pa pa wa
Held our breath for a baby boy
Two months early, big fat bundle of joy
And now we three are happy together
Our dearest friend
Old faithful Phydeaux
He could not come along to the baby ward

Love abides, life makes sense
Great big house with a little white picket fence

rachael and me
[Go to Song Page]
Rachael and me walked along the beach
One of us wore a frown
Rachael built sandcastles
While I tore them down
I dug up sand crabs
And threw them far from shore
Rachael returned them
While I dug up more
I gathered seaweed
And made a lovely wreath
Rachael wouldn't wear it
So I threw it at her feet
She wouldn't watch
While I did my best headstand
So while she was sleeping
I buried her with sand
[Whistling]
Huh?
Okay mom, I'm coming
What?
I don't know where she is [Spoken]

Rock-a-bye baby in the tree top
You know the bough’s gonna break
And the cradle will rock
You're one year older than you were the year before
And each day baby, I love you more and more
You make me laugh when I see you crawl across the floor
What y’ doing boy
Shake your rattle and crawl [x4]
Stay in your stroller when your momma’s shopping at the mall
Well I love my son Michael, he’s as good as a boy can be
And I hug him and I kiss him and I bounce him up upon my knee
And then I put him on the floor and say baby won’t you rock with me
That’s right I say c’mon
Shake your rattle and crawl, shake baby shake yeah
Shake your rattle and crawl, stand up and walk tall
And you can count on me 'cause I’ll be there to catch you when you fall
All right
Well the serpent was hanging from the tree just like a leaf
Oh yeah (shake shake)
And when Eve walked by he said lady I’ll make this brief
(Shake shake)
When Adam took the second bite they rubbed their eyes in disbelief
And God told the devil
Shake your rattle and crawl (Yeh yeh) [x4]
I’ll be stomping on your head, you’ll be dancing at the dead man’s ball

the wabbit and the twain
[Go to Song Page]
There was a wabbit
And the wabbit woved a twain
And the twain woved the wabbit wight back
They had a habit
Of always wunning into wain
And they woved to pway with marbles and jacks
The wittle wabbit
He woved to talk to the twain
The twain would answer wight back
The wittle wabbit would say
Cwunch cwunch cwunch
And the twain would say quickety quack
Oh the wabbit woved the twain
And the twain woved the wabbit
They would pway and pway all day
Then the wabbit heard a man say the twain would move to Baltimore
And that's when they decided they would both wun away
And so the wabbit
Started wunning for the twain
The twain caught the rabbit
And they never wooked back
And the last they were seen
They were disappeawing down the twacks
There was a wabbit
And the wabbit woved a twain
And the twain woved the wabbit wight back
They had a habit
Of always wunning into wain
And they woved to pway with marbles and jacks
The wittle wabbit
He woved to talk to the twain
The twain would answer wight back
The wittle wabbit would say
Cwunch cwunch cwunch
And the twain would say quickety quack
Oh the wabbit woved the twain
And the twain woved the wabbit
They would pway and pway all day
Then the wabbit heard a man say the twain would move to Baltimore
And that's when they decided they would both wun away
And so the wabbit
Started wunning for the twain
The twain caught the rabbit
And they never wooked back
And the last they were seen
They were disappeawing down the twacks
