Purple mountain majesties, amber waves of grain.
This is my America, to thee we sing.
Land of the free from sea to shining sea.
My America, let freedom ring.
My country tis of thee, sweet land of liberty of thee I sing.
Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrim's pride.
From every mountain side,
Let freedom ring.
It's a Day to Honor Those Who Served
It's a day to honor those who served.
Those who fought for freedom in this land.
For the price they paid, for the sacrifice they made.
It's a day to honor those who served.
They gave us the best years of their youth
To protect the red, white and blue.
Whether land or air or on the sea,
They defended our liberty.
It's a day to honor those who served.
Those who fought for freedom in this land.
For the price they paid, for the sacrifice they made.
It's a day to honor those who served.
They gave us the best years of their youth
To protect the red, white and blue.
Whether land or air or on the sea,
They defended our liberty.
If you love your country
Solo- I love my country.
If you cherish freedom
Solo- I cherish freedom
It's a day to honor those who served.
Grand Old Flag!
We want to cheer so loud that everyone hears us
When we see you on display.
You're the spirit of hope and liberty;
You make us feel like shouting "Hooray!"
Red white and blue, we pledge allegiance to you;
We love the colors of the U.S.A
Waving proud and free for all the world to see,
You will always lead the way!
You're a grand old flag, you're a high flying flag,
And forever and in peace may you wave.
You're the emblem of the land we love;
The home of the free and the brave.
Every heart beats true for the red, white and blue
And there's never a boast or brag.
Should old acquaintance be forgot
Keep your eyes on that grand old flag!
**Third Time- Sing both verses together as a partner song.
Lucy Locket
Lucy Locket lost her pocket
Kitty Fisher found it
Not a penny was there in it
Only ribbon' round it.
Kip/Cyr Mad Libs
Frosty the football man
Was a crazy, fun soul,
With a corncob Jack and a button belly button
And two eyes made out of toilets.
Frosty the body man is a weird tale, they say,
He was made of basketballs but the children know
How he came to Burlington one day.
There must have been some magic in that
Old sock they found.
For when they placed it on his feet
He began to swim around.
Oh, Frosty the Julianna man
Was alive as he could be,
And the clowns say he could run and run
Just the same as Mrs. Kip and me.
We also had time to write new lyrics for Rudolph!
Savannah the green-nosed Big Foot
Had a very strong brain
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it glows
All of the other lions
Used to laugh and call him “Pole”
They never let poor Chloe
Join in any donkey games
Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say
Rudolph with your cheek so small
Won't you guide my cupcake tonight?
Then all the monkeys loved him
And they shouted out with anger
Aidan the blue-belly ostrich
You'll go down in history!
Ferullo Mad Libs
Mrs. Rzasa the pink nosed pig
Had a very special leg
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it glows
All of the other platypus
Used to laugh and call her Mrs. Niu
They never let poor Nicolo Jr.
Join in any bunny games
Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say
Rudolph with your belly button so dirty
Won't you guide my Toys R Us tonight?
Then all the sharks loved him
And they shouted out with disappointment
Lucas the brown-kidney lion
You'll go down in history!
(to the tune of "Frosty the Snowman")
Frosty the Jordyn man
Was an angry fluffy soul,
With a corncob Mrs. Ferullo and a button mouth
And two eyes made out of Gabrielle
Frosty the penguin man is a fat tale, they say,
He was made of pineapple but the children know
How he came to Burlington one day.
There must have been some magic in that
Old silk skirt they found.
For when they placed it on his hair
He began to sit around.
Oh, Frosty the Ashraf man
Was alive as he could be,
And the gods say he could dive and kick
Just the same as Suleikha and me.

I Don't Know the Notes
My teacher says "why don't you sing and play?"
"I don't know the notes," that's what I say.
My teacher tells me "learn them by the next day!"
Looks like tonight I'll have no time to play.
Refrain:
Oh four spaces, F-A-C-E
Five lines, E-G-B-D-F
Four spaces, F-A-C-E
But only when you're in the treble clef
My teacher says it's like the ABCs
But then she sings them "do, re, mi"
This is all so confusing to me.
Why can't I just go home and watch TV?
(refrain)
It's getting clearer. See, I'm not dumb.
I'll learn all the notes and I'll have some fun.
I'll play the instruments and beat on the drum.
Maybe I'll even be the very best one!
(refrain)
But only when you're in the treble clef
Treble clef!
The Turkey Shot Out of the Oven
The turkey shot out of the oven
and rocketed into the air,
it knocked every plate off the table
and partly demolished a chair.
Refrain:
Oh my, Oh me
Why didn’t I follow the recipe?
Oh my, Oh me
Why didn’t I follow the recipe?
It ricocheted into a corner
and burst with a deafening boom,
then splattered all over the kitchen,
completely obscuring the room.
(refrain)
It stuck to the walls and the windows,
it totally coated the floor,
there was turkey attached to the ceiling,
where there'd never been turkey before.
(refrain)
It blanketed every appliance,
it smeared every saucer and bowl,
there wasn't a way I could stop it,
that turkey was out of control.
(refrain)
I scraped and I scrubbed with displeasure,
and thought with chagrin as I mopped,
that I'd never again stuff a turkey
with popcorn that hadn't been popped.
(refrain)
Harvest Song
Pumpkins are ripe, corn stalks are tall.
Thanksgiving time is the best of all.
Autumn breezes fill the air; sing and dance without a care.
Autumn breezes fill the air' sing and dance without a care.
Pumpkins are ripe, corn stalks are tall.
Thanksgiving time is the best of all.
Boom, Boom Ain't It Great to Be Crazy?
A horse and a flea and the three blind mice
Sat on a curbside shooting dice.
The horse he slipped and fell on the flea,
"Whoops," said the flea, "there's a horse on me!"
Boom, Boom Ain't It Great to Be Crazy?
Boom, Boom Ain't It Great to Be Crazy?
Gritty and foolish the whole day through,
Boom, Boom Ain't It Great to Be Crazy?
Pass the Broomstick
Pass the broomstick
Pass the broomstick
Pass and pass the broom
Music's playing, keep it moving,
All around the room.
Pass the broomstick
Pass the broomstick
Must not let it stop.
Who will have it, who will have it
When the music stops?
Nine Lives
1. Nine black cats, sitting on the gate,
One caught a cold and then there were eight.
2. Eight black cats looking up to heaven,
One lost its balance, and then there were seven.
3. Seven black cats gathering sticks,
One got a splinter, and then there were six.
4. Six black cats trying to survive,
One lost its courage, and there were five.
5. Five black cats knocking at the door,
One rang the bell, and then there were four.
6. Four black cats climbing up a tree,
one lost its grip, and then there were three
7. Three black cats feeling kinda blue,
One stubbed its paw, and then there were two
8. Two black cats, sitting in the sun,
One got a sunburn, and then there was one.
9. One black cat, twitched its magic nose,
Wished for nine more lives, and what do you suppose?
Ding Dong
Ding dong diggidiggi dong
Diggidiggi dong the cat she's gone!
Ding dong diggidiggi dong
Diggidiggi ding dang dong
Chocolate Chipmunk
Chipmunk, Chipmunk just like that!
Fell into the pudding vat
Chipmunk, Chipmunk take a bow
You're a Chocolate Chipmunk now!
Bate Bate
Bate Bate Chocolate
Con arroz y con tomate
Uno dos tres CHO
Uno dos tres CO
Uno dos tres LA
Chocolate, chocolate,
Chocolate, chocolate!
Four White Horses
Four white horses
On the river
Hey, hey, hey
Up tomorrow
Up tomorrow is a rainy day
Come on up to the shallow bay
Shallow bay is a ripe banana
Up tomorrow is a rainy day
Two In a Boat
Two in a boat and the tide rolls high
Two in a boat and the tide rolls high
Two in a boat and the tide rolls high
Get your pretty one by and by
Four in a boat and the tide rolls high
Four in a boat and the tide rolls high
Four in a boat and the tide rolls high
Get your pretty one by and by
Eight in a boat and the tide rolls high
Eight in a boat and the tide rolls high
Eight in a boat and the tide rolls high
Swing that partner you just found
The Thread Follows the Needle
The thread follows the needle
The thread follows the needle
In and out the needle goes
As mother mends the childrens' clothes.
Hey Children!
Hey Children, who's in town?
Everybody stop and look around.
Say your name and when you do.
We will say it back to you.
Memorial School Song
We are happy and proud
Here at Memorial School
Some of us were born in town,
Others born around the world
But we find our "true north" at Memorial School
Teachers, students, faculty and
All our families love it at Memorial School!
