Friends

Friends

It was Book Week last month and the kid’s theme was Friendship. So… I wrote us a Friends song. Fancy a happy little sing-along? Come join in!

 

Unfortunately I made the silly mistake of printing out the words before I filmed it. Not my brightest move!

So…here’s a helpful corrections sheet showing them exactly what they’ll need to change because their teacher doesn’t always remember her own lyrics ;-)))

 

 

Friends.

Kylie van Dam

 

You make me happy, I like how you play.

And if I am sad, you chase the grumbles away.

You always laugh at the funny things I say.

And if I get stuck, you always explain.

 

‘Cause you’re my friend and

I’m so happy that’s true…ooo.

I don’t think I’d like my days

Without you…ooo.

You’re my friend

And I’m so happy to be

Friends with you and

You are friends with me!

 

You make me feel safe, and comfy to be

All the crazy little things that make up me.

You understand. That’s very clear to see.

You like to spend your days running round

And playing with me.

 

Cause you’re my friend.   Oo oo                                                                                                                           You make me happy.   Oo oo

Yes you’re my friend.   Oo oo                                                                                                                                      Oh oh so happy.   Oo oo

Yes you’re my friend.   Oo oo                                                                                                                           You make me happy.   Oo oo

It’s true!                                                                                                                                                                                          Friends with you!

 

 

And here are some other songs the kids reminded me are all about friends and being happy.
