    Furry alligator puppies, runaway socks, musical skeletons and flying ships are just a few of the wonders you’ll encounter in Sara Lovell’s fanciful world of songs for children and families. With her album “You’ve Got Me,” it is apparent that Sara is not so much singing to children as she is reporting back from a magical landscape she inhabits and loves. Whether she is vividly painting an alternate universe or simply describing everyday moments in life, Sara's authenticity never talks down to children, instead, it invites both kids and their parents to dream and play along with her. The lyrics move easily between whimsical and matter-of-fact, and are set to music that is at once sophisticated and immediately accessible.

Furry Alligator Puppy (What I Dreamt This Morning)


Let me tell you about my dreams
As I’m waking from this slumber
It was something really strange
If only I could remember
Wait a minute now, it’s all coming back to me

There was a furry alligator puppy
A furry alligator puppy
And it came toward me with its big sharp claws
And I wasn’t sure that I should touch it
But I petted it and it wagged its little furry alligator puppy tail
And that’s what I dreamt about this morning
A furry alligator puppy

Let me tell you about my dreams
If I could only remember
It was something very strange
A really crazy adventure
Wait a minute now, it’s all coming back to me

I was flying like I was swimming
Flying like I was swimming
Flying through the air but low to the ground
I was moving my arms like the breast stroke
And I couldn’t seem to get much higher no matter how I tried
And that’s what I dreamt about this morning
Flying through the air like water

Tell me about your dreams - oh
What do you think they mean? – oh

There was a frog who gave me a key
A frog who gave me a key
And I tried it out on door after door
But none of the doors would open
And finally I came to a door perched at the top of a ladder
I turned the key and walked right through
And was sitting at my kitchen table
With a bowl of breakfast Os in front of me
And some Os had gotten on my nose and feet
And that’s what I dreamt about this morning
A frog who gave me a key

There was furry alligator puppy
A furry alligator puppy
And it came toward me with its big sharp claws
And I wasn’t sure that I should touch it

Sara Lovell Berkeley, California

Sara Lovell's third children’s music album in less than four years, Night Life, celebrates the hours leading to bedtime and the magical worlds we enter when we finally fall sleep. As with her last two award winning albums, the new release moves beautifully between diverse musical genres – at moments riotous and full of unrestrained joy, at other moments tender, introspective and melodic. ... more
