BORN TO DISCOVER By Nancy Hahn

 I was born to discover in Florence, Italy
Go Little Leo Go

I flew my kite with wonder

Now look at me
Go Little Leo Go

I love to draw all day

Dream the night away
Questioning how things work
Is how spend my day

Go Little Leo Go!

I was born to discover

As a little tike
I wanted to move faster
So I made a bike
 
I run around all day

da Vinci is my name

 To discover is my destiny
I learn more every day

I met a cool girl Lisa
And she smiled at me..
Go little Leo go

We hung out at Medici's
Where the cake was free

Michelangelo and me
Painted the ceiling
Lisa watched
She shouted out... "Leo please paint ME!"

 
EVERYBODY LOVES A DREAM MACHINE
By Nancy Hahn

Everybody loves a dream machine
Know what I mean

To make the work go faster
 More time for fun and laughter

The wheels are turning now in my mind.
Everybody loves a DREAM MACHINE

After my disaster of the wings I could not master
 You'd think my hopes would fall to the ground

 Everybody loves a DREAM Machine
  Know what I mean

 The Kings and Queens, my neighbors...
 Asked me for some favors

They knew I would always comply
Dream today
Ideas can truly fly


GIVE ME THE LOOT (LUTE)
A conversation of class rivalry between Medici and Leonardo DaVinci By Nancy Hahn 
(Poor Man):
Give me the loot
Or our deal is moot
You know I don't work for free
You're the elite
But I gotta eat
Cause I aint no king to be
I don't mean maybe
So just pay me
My works second to none
I dont mean maybe
So just pay me
I aint no rich man's son

(Rich Man):
You think its easy being me
A victim of my destiny
This gilded gage that you engage
Has a life not what it seems to be
But with your talent
And my rich valiance.....

Sooo...ll give you the loot
But you must prove
That you wont bolt on me
I pay a good rate
You can create
And we can make HISTORY
