SEASONS OF LOVE (whole school)

SEASONS OF LOVE       (whole school sings)

Five hundred, twenty-five thousand, 

Six hundred minutes

Five hundred, twenty-five thousand, 

Six hundred moments so dear

Five hundred, twenty-five thousand, 

Six hundred minutes

How do you measure, measure a year?

 

In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights?

In cups of coffee?

In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife?

In five hundred, twenty-five thousand, 

Six hundred minutes

How - do you measure a year in the life?

 

How about love? How about love? How about love?

Measure in love – sea-sons of love.

Seasons of love,

 

Five hundred, twenty-five thousand, 

Six hundred minutes

Five hundred, twenty-five thousand, 

Journeys to plan

Five hundred, twenty-five thousand, 

Six hundred minutes

How - do you measure the life of a woman or a man?

 

In daylights….

 

It’s time now, to sing out, the story never ends

Let’s celebrate, remember a year in the life of friends

Remember the love, remember the love, remember the love

Measure in love – seasons of love – seasons of love – seasons of love – seasons of love

I WANT A HIPPOPOTAMUS FOR CHRISTMAS. (whole school)

I WANT A HiPPOPOTAMUS FOR CHRISTMAS

(whole school sings)

 

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas

Only a hippopotamus will do

I don’t want a doll, no dinky Tinkertoy

I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy

 

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas

I don’t think Santa Claus will mind, do you?

He won’t have to use our dirty chimney flue

Just bring him through the front door

That’s the easy thing to do.

 

I can see him now, on Christmas morning

Creeping down the stairs

Oh, what joy and what surprise

When I open up my eyes

To see my hippo hero standing there

 

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas

Only a hippopotamus will do

No crocodiles, or rhinocerosseses

I only like hippopotamuseses

And hippopotamuses like me too!

 

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas

The kind I saw this summer at the zoo

There’s a lot of room, for him, in our two car garage

I’d feed him there and wash him there

And give him his massage

 

I can see me now on Christmas morning… (repeat)

RUDOLPH THE RED NOSED REINDEER (whole school)

RUDOLPH THE RED NOSED REINDEER

(whole school sings)

 

Rudolph the red nosed reindeer

Had a very shiny nose

And if you ever saw him

You would even say it glowed

All of the other reindeer

Used to laugh and call him names

They never let poor Rudolph

Join in any reindeer games

 

Then one foggy Christmas eve

Santa came to say

“Rudolph, with your nose so bright,

Won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?”

 

Then how the reindeer loved him

As they shouted out with glee

“Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer

You’ll go down in history.”

 

(Part 2 harmony – only on repeat)

Rudolph - reindeer - had a - shiny nose

If you - saw it - you would - say it glows

All the - reindeer - used to - call him names

Never - Rudolph - join in – reindeer games

 

Then one foggy…

 

Then they - loved him - shouted - out in glee

Rudolph the red nosed reindeer

You’ll go down in history

 

You’ll go down in history.

Snow is falling, all around me, people playing, having fun

IN THE BLEAK MIDWINTER (year 6 only)

In the Bleak Midwinter        (Year 6 only)

 

In the bleak midwinter

Frosty wind made moan

In the bleak midwinter

Earth stood hard as iron

Water like a stone

 

Snow had fallen

Snow on snow

Snow on snow

On snow

 

In the bleak midwinter

Frosty wind made moan

In the bleak midwinter

Long ago

WHEN A CHILD IS BORN (year 4 only)

WHEN A CHILD IS BORN          (year 4 only)

A ray of hope flickers in the sky

A tiny star lights up way up high

All across the land dawns a brand new morn

This comes to pass, when a child is born

 

A silent wish sails the seven seas

The winds of change whisper in the trees

And the walls of doubt crumble tossed and torn

This comes to pass when a child is born

 

A rosy hue settles all around

You've got the feel, you're on solid ground

For a spell of two, no-one is forlorn

This comes to pass, when a child is born

 

(...and all of this happens because the world is waiting, waiting for one special child.  What do they look like? No-one knows, but a child that will grow up and turn tears to laughter, hate to love, war to peace and everyone to everyone's neighbour and misery and suffering will be words to be forgotten forever)

 

It's all a dream, an illusion now

It must come true, sometime soon , somehow

All across the land dawns a brand new dawn

this come to pass, when a child is born.
