    Ben Rudnick and Friends’ most requested song, “A Frog Named Sam,” now leaps onto the stage in A Frog Named Sam: The Musical. The story begins with Sam returning to his pond after an exhausting world tour. Ready for a rest, Sam is distraught to find his pond in disrepair: overgrown and nearly waterless. As if that weren’t enough, an alien, Tripp, crash lands into the pond.

    The sound track tells the story of Sam and Tripp’s new friendship and their intergalactic adventures to save the pond. Featuring songs from the band’s many award winning recordings (“Race Car,” “I Got a New Friend”), it introduces new, sure to be classic, BR&F tunes (“The Adventure Song,” “When Something’s Got You Terribly Blue”) and a reimagined and more fun than ever version of “Macaroni and Cheese.”

    A bonus track, “Coney Island Crazy,” features Ben and his pals bringing to life the thrill of the vintage amusement park in a must-dance blast of rock and roll.

    Ben Rudnick and Friends, pioneers of the Kindie music scene, have produced eleven recordings, played hundreds and hundreds of concerts and have won a variety of accolades including seven Parents’ Choice Awards.

    The adventure continues.

lyrics

When something’s got you terribly blue It’s up to you what you’re gonna do Should you start to feel real sad, call me And we can make a plan To get glad, to get glad Toss away the sad and have A better day! It’s not the size of the pond, But how green it is and the love that’s found Between the reeds and the lily pads, The Dragonflies landing on your hand I see your pond is a little brown, Let’s make a plan and toss away that frown With a little work and the help of a friend, The green plants... will grow again Will grow again Will grow again When something’s got you terribly blue It’s up to you what you’re gonna do Should you start to feel real sad, call me And we can make a plan To get glad, to get glad Toss away the sad and have A better day! So things aren’t going your way Hold on, it’s just another day If your heart is full of blue A friend like me can help you through There’s no point to sit and cry Let’s go, we’ll get up and fly Back to the place where your heart will… sing again Sing again Sing again EVERYONE SINGS: Let’s go – let’s go - c’mon with me Let’s go – let’s go - just wait and see Let’s go – let’s go - c’mon with me Let’s go – let’s go - just wait and see Let’s go – let’s go - c’mon with me Let’s go – let’s go - just wait and see Let’s go – let’s go - c’mon with me Let’s go – let’s go - just wait and see Wait and see When something’s got you terribly blue It’s up to you what you’re gonna do Should you start to feel real sad, call me And we can make a plan To get glad, to get glad Toss away the sad and have A better day! A better day! A better day!

Reading a book, anything can happen when you’re reading a book Go to the shelf, pick up a book, take a second look Paddle down the river in an old canoe Pick up a book, you can travel far too Maybe travel slowly, maybe go fast It’s all a great journey as the words go past Reading a book, anything can happen when you’re reading a book Go to the shelf, pick up a book, take a second look Saddle up your pack and get on a horse Time to take a journey, time to get lost Words fill up the pages, pages fill books Chapters help you stop for the nighttime Reading a book, anything can happen when you’re reading a book Go to the shelf, pick up a book, take a second look You can’t judge a book by its cover You can’t know the end unless you start So the best thing to do and You can do it too Reading a book, anything can happen when you’re reading a book Go to the shelf, pick up a book, take a second look Wild kingdom spread out at your feet The king of the jungle thinks you’re a neat treat Screaming, crazy man comes out of the sky Asks “how’re you doing”,” you fly… away… Reading a book, anything can happen when you’re reading a book Go to the shelf, pick up a book, take a second look Reading a book, anything can happen when you’re reading a book Go to the shelf, pick up a book, take a second look

Race Car, smokin’ down the track Race Car, already comin’ back Can’t wait in a hurry Gotta get there first, Race Car, Race Car Morning breaks, the sky is blue, fans in stands abound Race tracks’ a big long oval, sunshine pours on down The buzz around the track says, the race today will tell The King of all the race cars, the fastest of them all The racers line up at the pole, engines revving high Car numbers and team colors, sparkle in the light At last when all is ready, the flag finally comes down Roaring just like thunder, the cars begin their rounds Race Car, smokin’ down the track Race Car, already comin’ back Can’t wait in a hurry Gotta get there first, Race Car, Race Car Tires spin, engines blow, or they might just stall Every driver does their best, to avoid the wall But every single race car, on every race car track Has to make a pit stop, when they run out of gas Pit stop hurry up Change the tires, fill ‘er up Pit stop Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up! Afternoon shadows, fall across the track After all those miles, there’s no turning back With the pedal to the metal, the race will soon be won by The King of all the race cars, the fastest of them all Race Car, smokin’ down the track Race Car, already comin’ back Can’t wait in a hurry Gotta get there first, Race Car, Race Car Race Car, smokin’ down the track Race Car, already comin’ back Can’t wait in a hurry Gotta get there first, Race Car, Race Car, Race Car!

Swimming is living and the water looks fine but the Wonder Wheel’s all I can see The grownups in suits, I don’t give a hoot Luna Park’s the place to be! I hate to say but I have to admit, I might be a little afraid Of that Parachute Jump, do I really have to JUMP? I hope I make the grade - cause I’m… Coney Island Crazy Coney Island Crazy Heaven on earth, just got to get in line first It’s Coney Island Crazy for me! After the -- Tea Cups and the Circuit 2000 I’m Gonna try the new Pirate Jet I’ll be a Su-per Swinger to the Himalaya and Motorcycle Jump higher yet I know you’re thinking how hungry I’ll be, just Follow me to Stillwell and Surf, It’s a Coney dog haven, an original craving, Coney Island for all it’s worth – it’s… Coney Island Crazy Coney Island Crazy Heaven on earth, just got to get in line first It’s Coney Island Crazy for me! Clocks says 10 it’s a wee bit early in the EVENING I’m not ready to go I want to stay down by the ocean where the mermaids are-a floating and the boardwalk’s the place for the show – I’m… Coney Island Crazy Coney Island Crazy Heaven on earth, just got to get in line first It’s Coney Island Crazy for me!
