Oh, say can you see,
By the dawn’s early light,
What so proudly we hailed
At the twilight’s last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars,
Through the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watched
Were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets red glare,
The bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night
That our flag was still there.
Oh say does that star spangled
Banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free
And the home of the brave?
1. Dona nobis pacem, pacem.
Dona nobis pacem.
2. Dona nobis pacem.
Dona nobis pacem.
3. Dona nobis pacem.
Dona nobis pacem.
1. Two brothers on their way
Two brothers on their way
Two brothers on their way
One wore blue, and one wore grey
One wore blue and one wore grey
As they marched along their way
The fife and drum began to play
All on a beautiful morning
2. One was gentle, one was kind
One was gentle, one was kind
One came home, one stayed behind
A cannonball don't pay no mind
A cannonball don't pay no mind
If you're gentle or you're kind
It don't think of the folks behind
All on a beautiful morning
3. Two girls waiting by the railroad track
Two girls waiting by the railroad track
Two girls waiting by the railroad track
One wore blue, and one wore black
One wore blue, and one wore black
Waiting by the railroad track
For their darlings to come back
All on a beautiful morning
One wore blue, and one wore black
Waiting by the railroad track
For their darlings to come back
All on a beautiful morning
All on a beautiful morning
1. The gingham dog and the calico cat
Side by side on the table sat;
'T was half-past twelve, and (what do you think!)
Nor one nor t' other had slept a wink!
The old Dutch clock and the Chinese plate
Appeared to know as sure as fate
There was going to be a terrible spat.
(I wasn't there; I simply state
What was told to me by the Chinese plate!)
2. The gingham dog went "Bow-wow-wow!"
And the calico cat replied "Mee-ow!"
The air was littered, an hour or so,
With bits of gingham and calico,
While the old Dutch clock in the chimney-place
Up with its hands before its face,
For it always dreaded a family row!
(Now mind: I'm only telling you
What the old Dutch clock declares is true!)
3. The Chinese plate looked very blue,
And wailed, "Oh, dear! what shall we do!"
But the gingham dog and the calico cat
Wallowed this way and tumbled that,
Employing every tooth and claw
In the awfullest way you ever saw-
And, oh! oh! how the gingham and calico flew!
4. Next morning, where the two had sat
They found no trace of dog or cat;
And some folks think unto this day
That burglars stole that pair away!
But the truth about the cat and pup
Is this: they ate each other up!
Now what do you really think of that!
(The old Dutch clock it told me so,
And that is how I came to know.)
1. Here’s the story of the four rivers
That the eyes of the world are on.
They’re called the Thames,
The Mississippi, and the Yangtze,
And the Don.
O, the four rivers apart as they could be,
But they discovered how to get together
When they all rolled down to the sea.
River rolling down, to the open sea.
2. Here’s the story of the four sailors
That the eyes of the world are on.
Their names are John, and Mao, and Tommy, and the fourth is named Ivan.
O, the four rivers
Have raised them separately,
But they discovered how to get together
When they all sailed down to the sea.
River rolling down, to the open sea.
3. Now the people of the four rivers
Must be friends as time rolls on,
Beside the Thames, the Mississippi,
And the Yangtze, and the Don.
O, the four rivers
Wherever people may be,
They must discover how to work together
While the rivers roll to the sea.
River rolling down, to the open sea.
1. Sleigh bells ringing jinga-lingle
Toes and fingers freeze and tingle
With our friends we laugh and mingle
In the falling snow.
Boys and girls come out together
Wearing coats of fur and leather
Made to stand the coldest weather
When the sleigh bells ring.
2. As we ride our song goes singing
Echoes through the air go winging
Till the world seems full of singing
As we ride along.
Through the town and by the river
Where the birches sigh and shiver
And the birds their cries deliver
Joining in our song.
Joy to the World
1. Jeremiah was a bullfrog,
Was a good friend of mine.
I never understood a single word he said,
But we always had a mighty fine time,
Yes we always had a mighty fine time.
Singing
ll: Joy to the world,
All the boys and girls.
Joy to the fishes in the
Deep blue sea.
Joy to you and me. :ll
2. Boys: If I was the king,
Girls: …Or the queen.
I tell you what I’d do.
I’d throw away the tears and the
Fears and jeers,
And I’d have a good time with you.
Yes I’d have a good time with you.
(Chorus-repeat/add harmony III-II-I)
III. Joy, joy, joy to the world
Joy, joy, joy to the world
Joy to the fishes in the
Deep blue sea.
Joy to you and me.
We Are Family
We are family
Brothers and sisters with me
We are family
Get up, everybody, and sing
We are family
Brothers and sisters with me
We are family
Get up, everybody, and sing
1. Everyone can see we're together
As we walk on by
(And) And we flock just like birds of a feather
I won't tell no lie
(All) All of the people around us, they say
"Can they be that close?"
Just let me state for the record
We're giving love in a family dose (Chorus)
2. Living life is fun and we've just begun
To get our share of this world's delights
(High) High hopes we have for the future
And our goals in sight
(We) No, we don't get depressed
Here's what we call our golden rule
Have faith in you and the things you do
You won't go wrong, oh-no, this is our family jewel
(Chorus 2x)
Strangest Dream
1. Last night I had the strangest dream
I ever had before
I dreamed the world had all agreed
To put an end to war.
I dreamed there was a mighty room
And the room was filled with men
And the paper they were signing said
They’d never fight again.
2. And when the paper was all signed
And a million copies made
They all joined hands and
Gathered round, and
Grateful prayers were made.
And the people in the streets below
Were dancing round and round
With guns and swords and uniforms
All scattered on the ground.
(Repeat first four lines)
