Feasting and having fun
Wreaths and colored lights
Gleaming gaily, let’s let...
The holiday shine
Let’s all get the Christmas spirit
And we’ll have a real good time

Hanukah comes along
Just one time a year
We’re so happy it’s here, now
Presents and menorahs, help
Tell the great story how
We need never give in
To fear now
Tops called dreidls
And latkes on the table, let’s let...
The holiday shine
Let’s all get the Hanukah spirit
And we’ll have a real good time
Lalala la
Lalala la LA la .........................
Kwanzaa comes along
Just one time a year
We’re so happy it’s come
Weave a m’keka, let’s drink
From the kikumbé, zawadi
For everyone
Celebrate for seven days
Light the kinara, let’s let...
The holiday shine
Let’s all get the Kwanzaa spirit
And we’ll have a real good time
Lalala la

Lalala la lala la lala la

Winter holidays
Come just once a year
We’re so happy they’re here
Christmas or Hanukah
Kwanzaa, we love 'em all
They help to bring us near
To one another
Snow starts falling
And folks start calling, let’s let...
The holidays shine
Let’s all get the holiday spirit
Let’s all get the holiday spirit
Let’s all get the holiday spirit
And we’ll have a real good time
Lalala la
Lala la, la LA...
La la la lala la

But proud to be one (but proud to be one)
Doctor Martin Luther King, Junior
But we’ve got far to go yet
May Martin’s work be done

The love of justice never can be brought down
As long as souls survive to renew it...

(Pronounced: Guy on blue Ford
The first African American Astronaut)
Have you heard about Guion Bluford?
Both his brothers did
Would you like to go out there with him?
This song is done in an “Orff” arrangement for three recorders, bass and soprano xylophones and various percussion instruments to help establish a medium swing jazz feel.

Please, Woodcutter, South of the border
She flies, winter, south, where it’s warmer.
Fact’ry Worker, north of the border
She flies in Spring, North, where it’s cooler
Please, Woodcutter, south of the border,
Have you heard about what he did?
In the summer of 1983
He made a little history
Many others had gone before him
Many others have gone since then
What makes him special?
Why does he fly?
Out there beyond the sky
That’s Guion Bluford!
Out there beyond the sky.
Better in school than him
Still he kept on tryin’
‘Til one day they needed an astronaut
And they asked for Guion.
Would you like to know how to fly?
What makes YOU special?
Are YOU gonna try?
To travel beyond the sky
Like Guion Bluford!
Travel beyond the sky
That’s Guion Bluford!
Out there beyond the sky...
We take a break
To remember
A great, crazy sailor
Who came all the way from Spain
In three little ships
The Nina, the Pinta
And the Santa Maria
Christopher Columbus was his name
Just when it starts
Growing colder
The falling leaves remind me
Of a time so long ago
In 1492
When Columbus first came to America
He wanted to get to old India
But he got here and discovered something new
In the middle of the month of October.
a lo alto del honor
recibiendo un diploma
por nuestro esfuerzo y abnegación......
Es el aliento de nuestros padres
y del maestro su orientación......
ese es el fruto, ese es el fruto
de lo aprendido
por nuestro esfuerzo
y dedicación......:||(repeat)
ES EL TRIUMPHO
es el triunfo conquistado-o
Y CONQUISTADO-O
POR CUMPLIR
NUESTRO DEBER....

PLEASE, WOODCUTTER - © D.Saphra, 1993
Please don’t cut that tree. A little bird is singing
Outside my window. She’s not singing just for me.
She lives in that tree. Please don’t cut her woods, oh
Please don’t cut her home. You love her just like me
Won’t you also care? That little bird, who
Sings, oh so sweetly, struggles through your smokey air.
She builds there her nest in it lay her eggs, they
soon will be her babies. She sings to them while they rest.
Please don’t cut that tree. A little bird is singing
Outside my window. She’s not singing just for me.
