about

Mr. Hoo likes to eat things, sometimes they are good, sometimes they are not. We hope you can figure out which is which! (Hint: Don't eat shoes!)

lyrics

I’m gonna eat a peach
Even though it might be out of reach
I’m gonna eat a peach

I’m gonna eat a pear
I’ll eat it all, but if you want some I’ll share
I’m gonna eat a pear.

I'm gonna eat a grape
Even if I have to take it from an ape
I'm gonna eat a grape.

I’m gonna eat a carrot
No no no, I didn’t say parrot!
I’m gonna eat a carrot

I’m gonna eat a shoe
I know that’s a silly thing to do
but I’m gonna eat a shoe

I’m gonna eat a bug
I just saw it crawling on the rug
so I’m gonna eat a bug

I’m gonna eat the moon
Look up there one day real soon.
'Cause I’m gonna eat the moon.

I’m gonna eat the sun
I think it sounds like a whole lot of fun
I’m gonna eat the sun.

I’m not feeling very good
That’s because I ate everything I could
now I’m not feeling very good

Magic Cardboard Ride
by Matt Clark

Matt Clark is our good pal (he played bass on many songs on "Junior"), and the ABC Guys joined him on several tracks, and Mr. Hoo produced many of the songs, and there's a song about Mr. Hoo on it. The Alphabeticians

This might be the coolest kid's album we've ever heard! We find ourselves listening to it over and over again, whether the kids are around or not. Awesome debut album! The Alphabeticians

Metamorphosis

Our own Mr. Hoo's debut solo CD! It has some Alphabeticians songs on it, and some Mr. Hoo originals. We may be biased, but we love it! The Alphabeticians
