Christmas songs with lyrics

Drumming - so cool, it's frozen

Rumour Has It

Owwwwh [repeats]
(B B B hh) . . . 

She, she ain't real,
She ain't gonna be able to love you like I will,
She is a stranger,
You and I have history,
Or don't you remember?
Sure, she's got it all,
                        (SH!)
But, baby, is that really what you want?

Bless your soul, you've got your head in the clouds,
(B B B hh) . . . 
She made a fool out of you,
And, boy, she's bringing you down,
She made your heart melt,
But you're cold to the core,
                                      (SH!)
Now rumour has it she ain't got your love anymore,

Rumour has it (rumour) [x8]
(B B B hh) . . . 

She is half your age,
(B B B hh) . . . 
But I'm guessing that's the reason that you've stayed,
I heard you've been missing me,
You've been telling people things you shouldn't be,
Like when we creep out when she ain't around,
(Sh!) CLAP: eighth notes
Haven't you heard the rumours?

(Bless your soul!...) Bless your soul, you've got your head in the clouds,
(B B B hh) . . . 
You made a fool out of me,
And, boy, I'm bringing me down,
You made my heart melt, yet I'm cold to the core,
But rumour has it I'm the one you're leaving her for,

Rumour has it (rumour) [x8]

All of these words whispered in my ear,
Tell a story that I cannot bear to hear,
Just 'cause I said it, it don't mean that I meant it,
People say crazy things,
Just 'cause I said it, don't mean that I meant it,
Just 'cause you heard it,

Rumour has it (rumour) [x14]

But rumour has it he's the one I'm leaving you for.

What is a capella?

We Can Work It Out

Try to see it my way,
Do I have to keep on talking till I can't go on?
While you see it your way,
Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone.

We can work it out,
We can work it out.

Think of what you're saying.
You can get it wrong and still you think that it's all right.
Think of what I'm saying,
We can work it out and get it straight, or say good night.

We can work it out,
We can work it out.

Life is very short, and there's no time
For fussing and fighting, my friend.
I have always thought that it's a crime,
So I will ask you once again.

Try to see it my way,
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong.
While you see it your way
There's a chance that we might fall apart before too long.

We can work it out,
We can work it out.

Life is very short, and there's no time
For fussing and fighting, my friend.
I have always thought that it's a crime,
So I will ask you once again.

Try to see it my way,
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong.
While you see it your way
There's a chance that we might fall apart before too long.

We can work it out,
We can work it out.

Gone, Gone, Gone

When life leaves you high and dry
I'll be at your door tonight
If you need help, if you need help.
I'll shut down the city lights,
I'll lie, cheat, I'll beg and bribe
To make you well, to make you well.

When enemies are at your door
(B h B h)
I'll carry you away from war
(B h B h)
If you need help, if you need help.
(B h B h)               (B h B h)
Your hope dangling by a string
(B h B h)
I'll share in your suffering
(B h B h)
To make you well, to make you well.
(B h B h)                  (B h B h)

Give me reasons to believe
               (B)         (B)       (B)
That you would do the same for me.
                           (B)      (B)           (B) 1.2.3.4.5:Slap)

And I would do it for you, for you.
Sh!                             (1duh 2and 3and 4B)            
Baby, I'm not moving on
I love you long after you're gone.
For you, for you.
You will never sleep alone.
I love you long after you're gone
And long after you're gone, gone, gone.
(Rest)                           (B)     (B)     (B)

When you fall like a statue
(B h B h) . . .        
I'm gon' be there to catch you
Put you on your feet, you on your feet.
And if your well is empty
Not a thing will prevent me.
Tell me what you need, what do you need?

I surrender honestly.
(Sh! B          B       B)
You've always done the same for me.
(Sh!                  B             B              B 1.2.3.4.5:Slap)

So I would do it for you, for you.
Sh!                           (1duh 2and 3and 4B) . . . 
Baby, I'm not moving on,
I love you long after you're gone.
For you, for you.
You will never sleep alone.
I love you long after you're gone
And long after you're gone, gone, gone.
(Sh!                              B       B        B)

You're my back bone.
(Sh!           Circle) . . . 
You're my cornerstone.
You're my crutch when my legs stop moving.
You're my head start.
                 (B  B  B  B) . . . 
You're my rugged heart.
You're the pulse that I've always needed.
Like a drum, baby, don't stop beating.
Like a drum, baby, don't stop beating.
Like a drum, baby, don't stop beating.
Like a drum my heart never stops beating
                                                          (Slap)

For you, for you.
Sh!                             (1duh 2and 3and 4B)    
Baby, I'm not moving on.
I love you long after you're gone.
For you, for you.
You will never sleep alone.
I love you long after you're gone.
For you, for you.
Baby, I'm not moving on,
I love you long after you're gone.
For you, for you.
You will never sleep alone.
I love you long, long after you're gone.

Like a drum, baby, don't stop beating.
           (B  B  B  B) . . . 
Like a drum, baby, don't stop beating.
Like a drum, baby, don't stop beating.
Like a drum my heart never stops beating for you.

And long after you're gone, gone, gone.
                                    B        B        B
I love you long after you're gone, gone, gone.

O Canada

O, Canada

Our home and native land

True patriot love in all thy sons command

With glowing hearts we see thee rise

The true north strong and free

From far and wide, O Canada

We stand on guard for thee

God keep our land

Glorious and free

O, Canada we stand on guard for thee

O, Canada we stand on guard for thee

Tableau

Have you ever heard the expression, "a picture is worth a thousand words"? In drama, the grade 6/7s are working together to make a living picture with their bodies, called a tableau. A tableau looks like a picture because everyone is standing as still as a statue.

The grade 6/7s used Padlet today to brainstorm ideas, keywords, and feelings about Remembrance Day, and grouped similar ideas together. Then, they chose a sequence of three groupings to tell a mini story. They will perform their series of three tableaux at our Remembrance Day assembly.

Below you can see the themes and ideas the grade 6/7s will be expressing.

Polar Bear, Polar Bear (Part 1)

Students from Ms. B's class add the animal sound effects for the book "Polar Bear, Polar Bear" by Bill Martin Jr.

Like "The Cups Song"?

Hallowe'en Time!

Like Just Dance, but with a skeleton!

Need help with your spooky spelling? Try the next video. You'll never forget how to spell Halloween again!

Get your twisting feet ready. Here's the classic video "Monster Mash" with lyrics.

What to do if you have a ghost? Call the Ghostbusters!

Check out the drippy font in this next video. Could it even be Halloween without Michael Jackson's song "Thriller"? I don't think so.

ROAR - by Katy Perry

I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
Scared to rock the boat and make a mess
So I sat quietly, agreed politely
I guess that I forgot I had a choice
I let you push me past the breaking point
I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything

You held me down, but I got up (HEY!)
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
Like thunder gonna shake the ground
You held me down, but I got up (HEY!)
Get ready cause I’ve had enough
I see it all, I see it now

[Chorus]
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire
Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You’re gonna hear me roar

Now I’m floating like a butterfly
Stinging like a bee I earned my stripes
I went from zero, to my own hero

You held me down, but I got up (HEY!)
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
Like thunder gonna shake the ground
You held me down, but I got up (HEY!)
Get ready ’cause I’ve had enough
I see it all, I see it now

[Chorus]
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire
‘Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
‘Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You’re gonna hear me roar
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You'll hear me roar
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You're gonna hear me roar...

Roar-or, roar-or, roar-or, roar-or, roar-or

I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire
‘Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
‘Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You’re gonna hear me roar
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You'll hear me roar
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You're gonna hear me roar...

Welcome to Drama! And Dance! And Music!

To kick off our year in Fine Arts, we are going to start by making some Greek Masks.

A Greek mask usually shows the feelings of happy and sad. In Drama, plays have traditionally been either a tragedy (sad) or a comedy (happy).

Sometimes the masks have extra details like hair and wrinkles.

We will be making masks together in class. On the back of your mask, you will be writing me a private letter. On the front of your mask, you can add details to show your emotion and personality. And all this out of plain white paper!

For excellent picture instructions on how to do this, please click here.

Grade 3/4 Sound Effects

The Grade 3/4 class has been working on Voice all year. In the clips below, we have combined a dramatic reading of a story about noise with sound effects. All of the sound effects were created by the students and used a variety of instruments and "found sounds." Even harder, the students performed and recorded their stories before a live audience of their classmates. All students were excellent performers and respectful audience members. Please leave a comment if you enjoy the stories!
