USA Patriotic Songs:

"THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE "

I pledge allegiance to the Flag

Of the United States of America,

And to the Republic for which it stands:

One Nation under God, indivisible,

With Liberty and Justice for all.

“AMERICA”

My country 'tis of thee

Sweet land of liberty of thee I sing

Land where my fathers died

Land of the pilgrim's pride

From every mountainside

Let freedom ring!

"AMERICA, THE BEAUTIFUL"

O beautiful for spacious skies, For amber waves of grain,

For purple mountain majesties Above the fruited plain!

America! America! God shed his grace on thee

And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea!

"THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER"

Words by Francis Scott Key and Music by John Stafford Smith

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPKp29Luryc

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

O say, does that Star­-Spangled Banner yet wave

O'er the land of the free

And the home of the brave.

“GOD BLESS AMERICA”

Words and Music by Irving Berlin

Kate Smith God Bless America 1938 Radio Program

"While the storm clouds gather far across the sea,

Let us swear allegiance to a land that's free,

Let us all be grateful for a land so fair,

As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer. "

God Bless America, Land that I love.

Stand beside her, and guide her

Through the night with a light from above

From the mountains, through the prairies,

To the oceans, white with foam

God bless America, My home sweet home.

God bless America, My home sweet home.

You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen,

Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen,

but do you recall the most famous reindeer of all,

Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer (reindeer)

had a very shiny nose. (shiny nose)

And if you ever saw him, (saw him)

you would even say it glows. (like a light bulb)

All of the other reindeer (reindeer)

used to laugh and call him names. (like Pinochio)

They never let poor Rudolph (Rudolph)

join in any reindeer games. (like Monopoly)

Then one foggy Christmas Eve Santa came to say:

"Rudolph with your nose so bright,

won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"

Then all the reindeer loved him (loved him)

as they shouted out with glee, (oh, gee!)

Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, (reindeer)

you'll go down in history! (like Columbus!)

Then one foggy Christmas Eve Santa came to say:

"Rudolph with your nose so bright,

you'll go down in his-to-ry! (like Columbus)

“Frosty The Snowman”

VIDEO #1; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCjrcjFGQCA

VIDEO #2; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nf-LmfS3oec

Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul,

With a corncob pipe and a button nose

And two eyes made out of coal.

Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale, they say,

He was made of snow but the children know

How he came to life one day.

There must have been some magic in that Old silk hat they found.

For when they placed it on his head He began to dance around.

Oh, Frosty the snowman was alive as he could be,

And the children say he could laugh

And play just the same as you and me.

Frosty the snowman Knew the sun was hot that day,

So he said, "Let's run and We'll have some fun

Now before I melt away."

Down to the village, With a broomstick in his hand,

Running here and there all Around the square saying,

Catch me if you can.

He led them down the streets of town Right to the traffic cop.

And he only paused a moment when

He heard him holler "Stop!"

For Frosty the snowman Had to hurry on his way,

But he waved goodbye saying,

"Don't you cry, I'll be back again some day."

Thumpetty thump thump, Thumpety thump thump,

Look at Frosty go.

Thumpetty thump thump, Thumpety thump thump,

Over the hills of snow.

“Jingle Bell Rock”

VIDEO; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpxNNalLTB4

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock

Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring

Snowing and blowing up bushels of fun

Now the jingle hop has begun

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock

Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time

Dancing and prancing in Jingle Bell Square

In the frosty air.

What a bright time, it's the right time

To rock the night away

Jingle bell time is a swell time

To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh

Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet

Jingle around the clock

Mix and a-mingle in a jingling beat

That's the jingle bell rock

What a bright time, it's the right time

To rock the night away

Jingle bell time is a swell time

To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh

Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet

Jingle around the clock

Mix and a-mingle in a jingling beat

That's the jingle bell, That's the jingle bell,

That's the jingle bell rock!

“The Christmas Song”

(Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire)

VIDEO; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwacxSnc4tI

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,

Jack Frost nipping on your nose,

Yuletide carols being sung by a choir,

And folks dressed up like Eskimos.

Everybody knows a turkey

And some mistletoe,

Help to make the season bright.

Tiny tots with their eyes all a glow,

Will find it hard to sleep tonight.

They know that Santa's on his way;

He's loaded lots of toys

And goodies on his sleigh.

And every mother's child is going to spy,

To see if reindeer, really know how to fly.

And so I'm offering this simple phrase,

To kids from one to ninety-two,

Although it’s been said many times, many ways,

Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas,

Merry Christmas, To you.

DWS Concert Chorus:

“What a Wonderful World”

VIDEO; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3yCcXgbKrE

I see trees of green, red roses too

I see them bloom, for me and you

And I think to myself,

What a wonderful world.

I see skies of blue and clouds of white,

The bright shiny day, the dark starry night

And I think to myself,

What a wonderful world.

The colors of a rainbow, so pretty in the sky

Are also on the faces of people passing by

I see friends shaking hands,

Saying, “How do you do?”

They’re really saying, “I love you!”

I hear babies cry, I watch them grow

They’ll learn much more than I’ll ever know

And I think to myself, what a wonderful world.

Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world.

Oh Yeah!

By Steve Seskin and Allen Shamblin

Video performed by Mark Wills with Subtitles/Closed Captions:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVjbo8dW9c8

I'M A LITTLE BOY WITH GLASSES

THE ONE THEY CALL A GEEK

A LITTLE GIRL WHO NEVER SMILES

'CAUSE I'VE GOT BRACES ON MY TEETH

AND I KNOW HOW IT FEELS

TO CRY MYSELF TO SLEEP

CHORUS:

DON'T LAUGH AT ME DON'T CALL ME NAMES

DON'T GET YOUR PLEASURE FROM MY PAIN

IN MY EYES WE'RE ALL THE SAME

SOMEDAY WE'LL ALL HAVE PERFECT WINGS

DON'T LAUGH AT ME

I'M THAT KID ON EVERY PLAYGROUND

WHO'S ALWAYS CHOSEN LAST

I’M THE ONE WHO’S SLOWER

THAN THE OTHERS IN MY CLASS

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE MY FRIEND

BUT IS IT TOO MUCH TO ASK?

REPEAT CHORUS

I'M THE BEGGAR ON THE CORNER

YOU'VE PASSED ME ON THE STREET

AND I WOULDN'T BE OUT HERE BEGGING

IF I HAD ENOUGH TO EAT

DON'T THINK I DON'T NOTICE

THAT OUR EYES NEVER MEET

REPEAT CHORUS

I WAS BORN A LITTLE DIFFERENT

I DO MY DREAMIN’ FROM THIS CHAIR

I PRETEND IT DOESN’T HURT ME

WHEN PEOPLE POINT AND STARE

THERE’S A SIMPLE WAY OF SHOWIN’

JUST HOW MUCH YOU CARE

REPEAT CHORUS

I'M FAT, I'M THIN, I'M SHORT, I'M TALL,

I'M DEAF, I'M BLIND, HEY AREN'T WE ALL?

REPEAT CHORUS

“Come Join In”

Music by Robert Maggio & Lyrics by Naomi Drew

Chorus: Come join in. Come join in. What ever your back ground or color of skin.

You are of value for all that you are. Your special uniqueness will carry you far.

Chorus: Come join in. Come join in. What ever your back ground or color of skin.

You are of value for all that you are. Your special uniqueness will carry you far.

It’s not about the way you look. Your size, your weight, or height.

What matters most is what’s within: the things that aren’t in sight.

Chorus: Come join in. Come join in. What ever your back ground or color of skin.

You are of value for all that you are. Your special uniqueness will carry you far.

It’s not about the clothes you wear, or place that you may live.

Your character defines you, and the kindness that you give.

Chorus: Come join in. Come join in. What ever your back ground or color of skin.

You are of value for all that you are. Your special uniqueness will carry you far.

Take these words with you ev’ry day. To life’s great promise you belong.

Rejoice in who you truly are. Stand up. Join in and sing your song.

Sing your song. Sing your song. Sing your song! Sing your song!

Chorus: Come join in. Come join in. What ever your back ground or color of skin.

You are of value for all that you are. Your special uniqueness will carry you far.

Two-Parts:

COME. COME. COME. COME.

Come join in. Come join in. What ever your back ground or color of skin.

COME. COME. COME. COME.

You are of value for all that you are. Your special uniqueness will carry you far.

Come join in. (Sing in unison and hold!)
