America the Beautiful
Words by Katharine Lee Bates,
Melody by Samuel Ward
MIDI sequencing provided by Melody
Lane
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!
O beautiful for pilgrim feet
Whose stern impassioned stress
A thoroughfare of freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!
O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife.
Who more than self their country loved
And mercy more than life!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness
And every gain divine!
O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
O beautiful for halcyon skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the enameled plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till souls wax fair as earth and air
And music-hearted sea!
O beautiful for pilgrims feet,
Whose stem impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till paths be wrought through
wilds of thought
By pilgrim foot and knee!
O beautiful for glory-tale
Of liberating strife
When once and twice,
for man's avail
Men lavished precious life!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till selfish gain no longer stain
The banner of the free!
O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till nobler men keep once again
Thy whiter jubilee!
Bill GroganŐs Goat
Leader sings and then everyone repeats at each (*) Lyrics: Bill Grogan's goat,* was feeling fine.*
Ate three red shirts,* right off the line.*
Bill took a stick,* gave him three whacks,*
And tied him to,* the railroad tracks.*
The whistle blew,* the train grew nigh;*
Bill Grogan's goat,* was doomed to die.*
He gave three moans,* of mortal pain,*
Barfed up those shirts,* and flagged that train.*
The Engineer,* got out to see,*
What in the world,* this thing could be.*
And when he saw,* It was a goat,*
Pulled out his knife,* and cut it's throat.*
Now Billy Goat* is really dead,*
He went to heaven,* without a head.*
And when he got there,* St. Peter said,*
'Dear Billy Goat,* where is your head?'*
I do not know,* I can not tell,*
For all I know,* It just may be ...*
Way down yonder in the paw paw patch.*
Bug Juice
At camp with the Boy Scouts,
they gave us a drink.
We thought it was kool-aid
because it was pink.
But the thing that they gave us
would gross out a moose,
for that great-tasting pink drink
was really bug juice.
It looked fresh and fruity
like tasty kool-aid
but the bugs that were in it
were murdered with raid.
We drank it by gallons.
We drank it by tons.
But, then the next morning
we all had the runs.
So if you drink bug juice
and a fly drives you mad
he's just getting even
because you swallowed his dad.

My Bonnie
Midi by Barry Taylor
My Bonnie lies over the ocean, my Bonnie lies over the
sea,
My Bonnie lies over the ocean, O bring back my Bonnie to me.
Chorus:
Bring back, bring back, O bring back my Bonnie to me, to me:
