Hello Song - The More We Get Together

(sung to the tune of “Have You Ever Seen a Lassie?”)

The more we get together,

Together, together.

The more we get together,

The happier we’ll be.


There’s <child’s name> and <child’s name>,

And <child’s name> and <child’s name>,

The more we get together,

The happier we’ll be.


“Skidamarink - a dink - a dink”

Skidamarink - a dink - a dink

Skidamarink - a doo!

I love you! (twice)

I love you in the morning

and in the afternoon

I love you in the evening

and underneath the moon!

Oh, skidamarink - a dink - a dink,

Skidamarink - a doo!

I LOVE YOU!!!

Cinco de Mayo

The holiday of Cinco De Mayo, The 5th Of May, commemorates the victory of the Mexican militia over the French army at The Battle Of Puebla in 1862. It is primarily a regional holiday celebrated in the Mexican state capital city of Puebla and throughout the state of Puebla, with some limited recognition in other parts of Mexico, and especially in U.S. cities with a significant Mexican population. It is not, as many people think, Mexico's Independence Day, which is actually September 16. [Educational or citation fair use is permitted, please quote your source as Mexonline.com]


“Cinco de Mayo” (to the tune of Are You Sleeping?)


Cinco de Mayo,

Cinco de Mayo,

The fifth of May

Is the anniversary

Of a great victory

For Mexico.

For Mexico.


Goodbye Song

Reach your hands up high. Bring them way down low.

Reach your hands up high. Bring them way down low.

To the side, to the side. To the side, to the side.

To the front, to the back. To the front, to the back.

On top of your head, and now in your lap.

Cuz now it's time to go.

Goodbye everyone. Goodbye everyone. Goodbye, everyone.

Thank you for making music.
