Grade 3/4 
Come Closer

Come closer, little singing bird--
I want to see what I have heard----------------come closer
Little singing bird-----------


Flow freely, water clear and sweet--
Splashing and tickling my feet-------------------flow freely
Flow freely       water clear and sweet------

You--- are the cool--- of the lake--- in the sum---mer
You are the shower that makes the grass green-------
Shin---y and cold---you’re the ice---that I skate------on
When the snow’s falling soft---and clean---------------

Stay longer, warming rays of sun--
Reach down and touch me as I run-------------stay longer
Warming rays of sun------------------


Grow taller, tiny budding tree--
‘til you’re ten times as big as me-----------------grow taller
Grow taller       tiny budding tree---------------
Will--- you remem---ber me when---I am old---er
And I come back to thisplace I once played?------
May---be the bird---will call out---from your branch---es
Songs so sweet I will wish I had stayed--------------

Come closer, little singing bird--
I want to see what I have heard----------------come closer
Come closer                  little singing bird------------

Grade 3/4 
On the Railroad

PART 1

I’ve been workin’ on the rail----road----
All the live long day-----
Yes, I’ve been workin’ on the rail---- road----
Just to pass the time away-----
Can’t you hear the whistle blow----in’-----
Rise up so early in the morn?-------
Can’t you hear the captain shout----in’-------
Dinah, blow your horn?---------

Dinah, won’t you blow?---- Dinah won’t you blow?------
Dinah, won’t you blow your horn?-----^--^--^
Dinah, won’t you blow?---- Dinah won’t you blow?------
Dinah, won’t you blow your horn?---------

Someone’s in the kitchen with Di---nah---
Someone’s in the kitchen I know------------
Someone’s in the kitchen with Di---nah---
Strummin’ on  the old banjo, and playin’

Fee------ Fie----- fiddle-ee-i-o-------
Fee  Fie  fiddle-ee-i-o-----------------
Fee------ Fie----- fiddle-ee-i-o-------
Strummin’ on the old banjo-----------

  
PART 2

All day long--- I’m workin’ on the railroad
Bringin’ in a payload, passin’ time away
All night long----I dream about the railroad
Drea----min’ till the break of day

When I hear the old red rooster crow---
And I hear the morning whistle blow
Then I jump out of bed and off i go----
Time to face another morn------


Off to work------ Now we go------
In---the early morn------
Off to work--- Don’t be slow---
Lis---ten to the bugler’s horn

Out in the kitchen, I hear a banjo
Playin’ so soft and low----------
Play me a happy melody from a time so long a go
And playin’
      A plunk-a, plunk-a, Play the little banjo
A plunk-a, plunk-a, Listen to him go----
Join right in and plunk-a, plunk-a, plunk!
It’s the sweetest sound I know----------




Grade 5

One by one-----the raindrops fall---to make a river flow------------
One by one-----the rivers fill the sea-------------------

You and I can do our share----to show the world we really care            we’ll make a better world----------------------            for you and me---------------

One-------by one--------we can make a new tomorrow
One-------by one--------we can find a brighter day--------------

 Come on and

Then we’ll stand----- as brothers in the sun----------

We can live in harmony----it all begins with you and me---We’ll make a better world---------

Grade 5
That’s how it goes!

SOLO
I raised a great hul-la-ba-loo------
When I found a large mouse in my stew
Said the waiter “Don’t shout    and wave it about,
Or the rest will be wanting one too
We do-------------------------------------
Or the rest will be wanting one too”

BOTH
Ho Ho wouldn’t’ you know? It’s crazy but that’s how it always goes
Ho Ho wouldn’t you know? It’s crazy but that’s how it goes



PART 1
There was an old man from Peru----------Who dreamed he was eating his shoe
He woke in a fright in the mid of the night,
And found it was perfectly true
‘Twas true!-------------------------------
And found it was perfectly true

AT THE SAME TIME
PART 1
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Wouldn’t you know? That’s how it always goes
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Wouldn’t you know? That’s how it goes!

PART 2
Ho Ho wouldn’t you know? It’s crazy but that’s how it always goes!
Ho Ho wouldn’t you know? It’s crazy but that’s how it goes!


PART 2
There once was a man of Blackheath-------Who sat on his pair of false teeth
Said he with a start! (BIG PAUSE) “Oh Lord, bless my heart! (BIG PAUSE)
I’ve bitten myself underneath!  Hee hee
Hee hee------------------------------------
I’ve bitten myself underneath!
(BACK TO BOLD PART, SING IT TWICE!!!)
