School Time Adventures

I am a person who loves music! I know most people will say that they love music, but I still can sing songs I remember as a 4 and 5 years-old, yeah, yeah, yeah, you say that's not soo special. So when I was in the 1st grade my Mom went to a presentation to become a Brite Music Distributor (she has got conned into doing a lot multi-level-marketing schemes). However, I am really glad that she decided to become involved with Brite music because much of my love for learning and music can be contributed to it.

So I have made up quite a few songs as I have grown up. When I was in the 6th grade, I made up the tune on the piano and sang away. It's called, "Raindrops are falling". It goes like this...

Raindrops are falling

People are dying

Why are you still buying 

things that you don't need

While I am singing

you could be bringing

things to help each other

so why don't you please

(It's funny to read those words and realize that as a 12-year-old I didn't really know a lot of world issues and problems, but I was always acutely aware of the needs of other people.)

Then in my sophomore year of High School I wanted to raise the most money ever for the drama department! So I knew I needed a little advertising jingle in order to become the biggest success selling candy bars and laffy taffy.

Here is the candy bar song that I would perform between 3- 10 times a day depending on my customers (other classmates)...

Chocolate, chocolate, it's so good

Everybody's eatin it in your neighborhood

You eat it in the morning, you eat it at night...

Anytime you eat it, it will be alright.

So I did go on to raise like $2500 for the drama department....winning myself the "Top seller award".

Now about 13 years have passed since my candy selling days and I still like making up little random songs, but now they are preschool focused.

This week we will be focusing on the letter U, with the theme being "April Showers bring May flowers". So without further ado the Umbrella song sung to the tune of Rain is Falling All Around by Moiselle Renstrom.

Rain is falling all around

on the house tops on the ground

Rain is falling on the plants

on the grass and flowers and ants

Time to get your Umbrella out

April showers are here no doubt

pretty May flowers we soon will see

lavender, roses, and daises


p.s. I would love if you would share the songs you still remember as a kid!
