Open, Shut Them
Ready for Big School
The Drumming Song
Lyrics
Welcome to the School Bell Bop
We are here to learn a lot
Sing and dance and play the drum
Make some music, have some fun
At the School Bell Bop – bop, bop, boppity bop
Thanks for coming to the School Bell Bop
We’ve been here and learnt a lot
Sung and danced and played the drum
Made some music, had some fun
At the School Bell Bop – bop, bop, boppity bop
Open shut them, open, shut them
Give a little clap
Open shut them, open, shut them
Lay them in our lap
Creep them, creep them, creep them, creep them
Right up to your chin
Open wide your little mouth
But do not pop them in
Shake them, shake them, shake them, shake them
Shake them just like this
Roll them, roll them, roll them, roll them
Blow a little kiss
Falling, falling, falling, falling
almost to the ground
Quickly raise them up again
and roll them round and round
I’m getting ready for big school
I’m gonna make friends and it’s gonna be cool
CHORUS:
I’m ready, ready for big school
I can do anything, and I’m ready for big school
I’ll learn to write, I’ll learn to read
I’ll do my best and I will succeed
CHORUS
Some things will be hard, some things will be sweet
I’ll take my hat and some food to eat
CHORUS
Gettin’ ready for big school (x4)
I can do anything, and I’m ready for big school
I’m bigger now, preschool is done
I’ve packed my bag, got my school shoes on
CHORUS
