Three Is a Magic Number
(Williams and Hulka)
Small group
Three is a magic number.
Yes it is, it's a magic number.
Somewhere in the veil of ancient history,
You get three as a magic number.
ALL
The past and the present and the future,
Faith and hope and charity,
The heart and the brain and the body
Give you three.
That's a magic number.
A man and a woman had a little baby.
Yes, they did.
They had three in the family.
That's a magic number.
Small group
3, 6, 9... 12, 15, 18... 21, 24, 27... 30.
ALL
3, 6, 9... 12, 15, 18... 21, 24, 27... 30.
Multiply backwards from three times ten,
Three time ten is... >> 30
Three times nine is... >> 27
Three times eight is... >> 24
Three times seven is... >> 21
Three times six is 18, three times five is 15
Three times four is twelve
And three times three is nine and three times two is six.
And three times one?
That’s a magic number.
A man and a woman had a little baby.
Yes, they did.
They had three in the family.
That's a magic number.

Just a Bill (All 5th Grade)
SOLO
I'm just a bill
Yes, I'm only a bill
And I'm sitting here on Capitol Hill
Well, it's a long, long journey
To the capital city
It's a long, long wait
While I'm sitting in committee
But I know I'll be a law someday
At least I hope and pray that I will
But today I am still just a bill
I'm just a bill
Yes, I'm only a bill,
And I got as far as Capitol Hill
Well, now I'm stuck in committee
And I'll sit here and wait
While a few key Congressmen discuss and debate
Whether they should let me be a law
How I hope and pray that they will
But today I am still just a bill
ALL
He’s just a bill
Yes, he’s only a bill
And if they vote for him on Capitol Hill
Well, then he’s off to the White House
Where he'll wait in a line
With a lot of other bills
For the president to sign
And if he signs him, then he'll be a law
How we hope and pray that he will
But today he am still just a bill

The Preamble
(Williams and Hulka)
Small group
Hey, do you know about the U.S.A.?
Do you know about the government?
Can you tell me about the Constitution?
Hey, learn about the U.S.A.
Solo
In 1787 I'm told
Our founding fathers did agree
To write a list of principles
For keeping people free.
The U.S.A. was just starting out
A whole brand-new country
And so our people spelled it out
The things that we should be
(speaking part)
ALL
We the people
In order to form a more perfect union
Establish justice, insure domestic tranquility
Provide for the common defense
Promote the general welfare and
Secure the blessings of liberty
To ourselves and our posterity
Do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America
In 1787 I'm told
Our founding fathers all sat down
And wrote a list of principles
That's known the world around
The U.S.A. was just starting out
A whole brand-new country
And so our people spelled it out
They wanted a land of liberty
We the people
In order to form a more perfect union
Establish justice, insure domestic tranquility
Provide for the common defense
Promote the general welfare and
Secure the blessings of liberty
To ourselves and our posterity
Do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America
For the United States of America . . .

Interplanet Janet (All 5th Grade)
Small Group
They say our solar system is centered around the sun
Nine planets, large and small, parading by
But somewhere out in space
There's another shining face
That you might see some night up in the sky waving high
ALL
Interplanet Janet, she's a galaxy girl
A solar system Miss from a future world
She travels like a rocket with her comet team
And there's never been a planet Janet hasn't seen
No, there's never been a planet Janet hasn't seen
Joslin
She's been to the Sun, it's a lot of fun
It's a hot-spot, it's a gas!
Reece
Hydrogen and helium in a big, bright, glowing mass
Hulka
It's a star, it's a star!
So Janet got an autograph!
Williams
Mercury was near the Sun so Janet stopped by
But the mercury on Mercury was much too high
So Janet split for Venus but on Venus she found
She couldn't see a thing for all the clouds around
Solo
Earth looked exciting, kind of green and inviting
So Janet thought she'd give it a go
But the creatures on that planet looked so very weird to Janet
She didn't even dare to say hello
Hulka
It's a bird, it's a plane!
Why, it must be a UFO,
ALL
but it was:
Interplanet Janet, she's a galaxy girl
A solar system Miss from a future world

No, there's never been a planet Janet hasn't seen
Williams
Mars is red and Jupiter's big
And Saturn shows off its rings
Uranus is built on a funny tilt
And Neptune is its twin
And Pluto, little Pluto, is the farthest planet from the Sun
Joslin and Reece
Some future astronaut
May find out that what he'd thought
Was a shooting star instead turned out to be

Interjections (All 5th Grade)
SOLO
When Reginald was home with flu, uh huh
The doctor knew just what to do:
He cured the infection
With one small injection
While Reginald uttered some interjections.
(interjections)
ALL
Interjections
Show excitement
Or emotion
They're generally set apart from a sentence
By an exclamation point
Or by a comma when the feeling's not as strong
Hulka and Williams
Though Geraldine played hard to get, uh huh
Geraldo knew he'd woo her yet
He showed his affection
Despite her objections
And Geraldine hollered some interjections.
ALL
Interjections…well!
Show excitement..Oh!
Or emotion…hey!
They're generally set apart from a sentence
By an exclamation point
Or by a comma when the feeling's not as strong
So when you're happy…hurray!
Or sad…aw!
Or frightened…eek!
Or mad..rats!
Or excited…wow!
Or glad..hey!
An interjection starts a sentence right!

And the crowd starting shouting out interjections.
