Music alone shall live

Never to die

You and me we're gonna be partners
You and me we're gonna be pals
You and me we're gonna be partners, buddies and pals.
You and me we started as strangers
You and me we came from afar
You and me we started as strangers
Now we are pals
From now on we're going to be partners
From now on we're going to be pals
From now on we're going to be partners
Buddies and pals

Cuddly koalas, cuddly koalas
Possums too, possums too
Wallabies and wombats, wallabies and wombats
Kangaroos, kangaroos

Hey ho, nobody home
Meat nor drink nor money have I none
Yet I will be happy
Hey ho, nobody home
Rose, Rose, Rose, Rose,
Will I ever see thee wed?
I will marry at thy will, sire, at thy will
Hey ho, nobody home
Meat nor drink nor money have I none
Yet I will be very merry
Hey ho, nobody home
Oh poor bird
High in flight
High above the mountain tops
On this cold night

I like the flowers
I like the daffodils
I like the mountains
I like the rolling hills
I like the campfires
When all the lights are low
Boom di-a-dah, boom di-a-dah,
Boom di-a-dah, boom di-a-dah...

Make new friends but keep the old
One is silver and the other gold
A circle's round, it has no end
That's how long I want to be your friend.
I have a hand, and you have another,
Put them together and we have each other.
Sew good friends wherever you may roam,
You'll be welcome in my heart and home.
You help me and I'll help you,
And together we will make it through.
A fire burns bright, it warms the heart,
We've been friends right from the very start.
New made friends like new made wine
Grow and mature to the end of the time!
Friends like you are one of a kind,
Very special, but hard to find.
Friends are real and friends are true,
If you love them they will love you too.
Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good, but old is best;
Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be.
Make new friends, but keep the old:
Those are silver, these are gold
Friends like you are one of a kind,
Very special but hard to find.
So good friend wherever you may roam,
You'll be welcome in my heart and home.

One bottle of pop, two bottles of pop,
Three bottles of pop, four bottles of pop,
Five bottles of pop, six bottles of pop,
Seven bottles of pop, POP!
Fish and chips and vinegar,
Vinegar, vinegar,
Fish and chips and vinegar,
Pepper, pepper, pepper salt!
Don't throw your junk in my backyard,
My backyard, my backyard,
Don't throw your junk in my backyard,
My backyard's full!

Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
Life is but a dream

(to the tune of "Row, Row, Row Your Boat")
Soap, soap, soap and towel,
Towel and water please
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Wash your dirty knees.

(Divide your group into sections, each one takes a different verse. Imagine you're building up the sounds of one of those old-fashion steam driven carousels!)
1. Oom-pah-pah (Four times, then add #2) (this is the engine running the carousel)
2. Oom-sss-sss (Four times, then add #3) (this is the steam from the engine)
3. Oom-tiddle-dee-dee (Four times, then add #4) (these are the penny whistles)
4. Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da.
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da- da-da-da. (this is the organ)

White coral bells upon a slender stalk
Lily of the valley deck my garden walk
Oh, don't you wish that you could hear them ring
That will only happen when the fairies sing
