say it fast
say it slow!
Get up on your feet
and to everyone you meet
say hello,hello, hello, hello
When you meet somebody new
first thing you should do
is say hello, hello, hello, hello

“We’re Gonna Dance, We’re Gonna Wiggle” by Jessy Rushing
We’re gonna dance
And yell, “Hurray, hurray.”
We’re gonna wiggle, we’re gonna sway
No one can stop us once we start
We’re gonna move, we’re gonna groove our body parts.
Clap your hands, hands hands
Twist you hips, hips, hips
Stomp your feet, feet, feet
Move like this, this, this
We’re gonna dance
And yell, “Hurray, hurray.”
We’re gonna wiggle, we’re gonna sway
No one can stop us once we start
We’re gonna move, we’re gonna groove our body parts.
Shake your head, head, head
Rock your knees, knees, knees
And turn around
Once with me.
We’re gonna dance
And yell, “Hurray, hurray.”
We’re gonna wiggle, we’re gonna sway
No one can stop us once we start
We’re gonna move, we’re gonna groove our body parts.
Tip toe, tip toe, tip toe
Walk, walk, walk.
Run, run, run
And then we stop.
We’re gonna dance
And yell, “Hurray, hurray.”
We’re gonna wiggle, we’re gonna sway
No one can stop us once we start
We’re gonna move, we’re gonna groove our body parts.

“Come On, Let’s Drum” by Mary Altom
Walking around the house, looking for something to eat.
Mom opens the fridge for a cold delicious treat.
I say yum, yum, yum. Now let’s drum, drum, drum.
Come on, let’s drum!
Outside on the playground, yes I love to run around.
Swinging, jumping, spinning, climbing up and sliding down.
Looks like fun, fun, fun. Now let’s drum, drum, drum.
Come on let’s drum!
Sitting at my desk at school, just doing my work.
My teacher walks on by and says man you’ve got to perk up!
Ho hum, hum. Now let’s drum, drum, drum.
Come on let’s drum!

“Love Me Tender” by Elvis Presley
Love me tender,
love me sweet,
never let me go.
You have made my life complete,
and I love you so.
Love me tender,
love me true,
all my dreams fulfilled.
For my darlin’ I love you,
and I always will.
Love me tender,
love me long,
take me to your heart.
For it’s there that I belong,
and we’ll never part.
Love me tender,
love me dear,
tell me you are mine.
I’ll be yours through all the years,
till the end of time.
“It’s Time to Say Goodbye” by Joseph Pinson
It’s time to say goodbye
It’s time to say so long
It’s time to say see you later, alligator
It’s time to say goodbye
In Japan, they say Sayonara
In Germany, they say Auf wiedersehen
In France, they say Au revior
And in Mexico, they say Adios
It’s time to say goodbye
It’s time to say so long
It’s time to say see you later, alligator
It’s time to say goodbye
