I can’t wait for another generation to join me in marching like a dinosaur, buzzing like a bee, waiting for the elevator, swimming like a fish, and walking with the penguins!”

The young and young at heart can sing along to Laurie Berkner classics like “We Are The Dinosaurs,” “Victor Vito,” “The Goldfish,” “Bumblebee (Buzz Buzz),” “Moon Moon Moon,” and “Pig On Her Head,” as well as newer hits like “Chipmunk At The Gas Pump,” “Onyx The Octopus,” “Waiting For The Elevator,” “Walking With The Penguins,” and so many more.
