Second Grade Warm Up Song

I posted this last year, and wanted to post it again for this year's second graders.  Since February we have been singing "Whacky Do Re Mi" as our warm up.  We started out singing it in unison, then we split into two part harmony.  Now we sing it and accompany ourselves with boomwhackers. 

There is a video that goes along with the song, and here it is!

Say What?!

Take Me Out to the Ballgame!

We’re sure that you know this song;

If you’d like you can sing along.

But only once through;

Then we’ll sing for you

Our very own baseball song.

Take me out to the ballgame,

Take me out with the crowd.

Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack;

I don’t care if I never get back.

Let me root, root, root for the home team;

If they don’t win it’s a shame.

For it’s one, two, three strikes you’re out at the old ballgame.

Take me out to the ballgame,

Take me out to the dome.

We’ll have some bratwurst and nachos;

We don’t care if we pay through the nose.

 And we’ll root, root, root for the home team;

We’re just glad they’re still here.

For they just might move out of town later on this year.

 

Take me out to the ballgame,

Where the turf isn’t real.

Next to the scoreboard a video screen

Will show you a replay like you’ve never seen

 And we’ll root, root, root for the home team;

Some things just never change.

It’s one, two, three and you’re out at the old ballgame.

One more time!

Take me out to the ballgame,

Take me out with the crowd.

Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack;

I don’t care if I never get back.

And we’ll root, root, root for the Red Sox;

If they don’t win it’s a shame.

For it’s one,

two,

 three strikes, you’re out at the old_____ ball______game________.

Charge!

Over the Rainbow

Somewhere over the rainbow

Way up high,

There’s a land that I heard of

Once in a lullaby.

Somewhere over the rainbow

Skies are blue,

And the dreams that you dare to dream

Really do come true.

Someday I’ll wish upon a star

And wake up where the clouds are far

Behind me.

Where troubles melt like lemon drops,

Away, above the chimney tops,

That’s where you’ll find me.

Somewhere over the rainbow

Bluebirds fly,

Birds fly over the rainbow,

Why then, oh why can’t I?

If happy little bluebirds fly

Beyond the rainbow,

Why, oh why can’t I?

Shake the Papaya Down

Mama says no play;

This is a work day. 

Up with the bright sun;

Get all the work done.

If you will help me,

Climb up the tall tree,

Shake the papaya down.

Sweet, sweet papaya,

Fruit of the Island,

When all the work’s done,

Dance on the white sands.

If you will help me,

Climb up the tall tree,

Shake the papaya down.
