Here is a list of the songs we will perform at our year-end concerts. Please practice all the words at home. If there are any lyrics you are missing please visit the website: www.childmusicMRI.com/musicalrainbow/recitallyrics. They will all be there for you to download if you like. Or, copy and paste the songs you need. All children do not need to know all of the songs. I have indicated special verses for the various levels. If you have any questions give me a call- 604-209-1476
PROPS: Yes, I would like as many children as possible to bring their own little props for the songs: And if you have a small shaker bring it along as well. This is much easier than having to pass things out during the recital. Green, Blue and Purple please bring your recorders. I will give full information on the props in the next notice.
Happy Day Day !

Lyrics for all the songs:

HAPPY DAY DAY

Hey hey, it's a happy day day. Hey, hey it's a happy day day day. Hey, Hey it's a happy day day. Hey, it's a happy day!

METEORS, COMETS AND ASTEROIDS, FLOATING OUT IN SPACE.

Asteroid Verse: Em
ASTEROIDS ARE BIG ROCKS IN SPACE,

BETWEEN MARS AND JUPITER ESPECIALLY,
B7 Em
LOTS OF ASTEROIDS THERE FOR YOU TO SEE.

THE ASTEROID BELT IS WHAT IT'S CALLED.
SOME SAY IT USED TO BE A PLANET OF OLD
BUT NOW IT'S JUST ROCKS IN ROWS AND ROWS
AND THEY LOOK KIND OF FUNNY, LIKE FLOATING POTATOS

Meteor Verse:
YOU'VE PROBABLY HEARD OF A FALLING STAR,
WELL, A FALLING STAR IS A METEOR.
TO SEE A METEOR IS A DELIGHTFUL SIGHT,
WHEN IT HITS THE EARTH IT'S CALLED A METEORITE.

IT CAN BE MADE OF IRON, OR SIMPLY ROCK
AS IT FALLS TO THE EARTH IT GETS REAL HOT
A MILLION METEORS EACH DAY DISAPPEAR
AS THEY BURN UP IN OUR ATMOSPHERE.

Chorus 3: ASTEROIDS, METEORS AND COMETS, COMETS, COMETS
ASTEROIDS, METEORS AND COMETS, VOYAGERS TO THE STARS

Comet Verse:
A COMET IS A GIANT, DIRTY SNOWBALL
WITH A FIERY TAIL, IT LOOKS BIG, BUT IT'S SMALL
THE FROZEN CORE IS CALLED THE NUCLEUS.
IT'S MADE OF WATER, ROCK , METAL, GAS AND DUST

THE COMA AND THE TAIL, CAN STRETCH FOR MILLIONS OF MILES
WHEN A COMET COMES TO VISIT IT BRINGS MILLIONS OF SMILES
EVERYONE CAN SEE A COMET, YES, YOU CAN TOO.
WATCH FOR HALEY'S COMET IN TWO THOUSAND SIXTY-TWO (2062)

CANADA IN MY POCKET

CANADA IN MY POCKET
Michael Mitchell

Chorus: I've got Canada in my pocket. A little bit of history.
A penny and a nickel and a quarter and a dime
mean a lot to you and me.
It's more than pocket money. They're the symbols of our land.
they're pictures of important things for which this country stands.

The maple leaf, the maple leaf, It's a beautiful sight to see.
It waves, 'Hello' to us below from the top of a maple tree.
and with every year that passes. It grows like you and me.
So, should we all grow straight and tall like the lovely maple tree.

The beaver, oh the beaver, It's a beautiful sight to see.
He's a happy, furry animal like a teddy bear with teeth.
He's never ever lazy. He works all night and day.
Building houses for his family. He's got no time for play.

Chorus

The schooner, oh the schooner. It's a beautiful sight to see.
It's a great big wooden sailing ship that can sail across the sea.
And it brings to other countries, the things that people need
And it brings back things like chocolate bars and books for us to read.

The caribou the caribou, it's a beautiful sight to see
He's a really big strong animal I'm sure you'll all agree.
He looks like Santa's reindeer. And he loves it when the wind blows cold.
So he lives up north with the polar bears, cause he likes the ice and snow.

Chorus.

Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away. Love is something if you give it away. You'lll end up having more. .

It's just like a magic penny. Hold it tight and you won't have any. But, lend it, spend it and you'll have so many, They'll roll all over the floor, for

Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away. Love is something if you give it away , you'll end up having more.
