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.

Ring-around the Rosie,
A pocket full of posies,
Ashes! Ashes!

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.
