Fairlop Singing & Music

Recorder Club

2011-05-19T06:20:00.000-07:00

During school Miss. Brannan has decided to make a club for recorder players, and after lots of practise she has entered us in the Ilford recorder festival at Saint Mary’s church. Most of the musicians are very good at playing the recorder.

We practice every Wednesday and anyone who would be interested in joining will be allowed to do so after the recorder festival.

We’ve got a problem,
We can work it out.
Let’s get together,
That’s what it’s all about.
Got to build it, build it high.
Got to build it, build it high.

We’ve got a problem,
We can work it out.
Let’s get together,
That’s what it’s all about.
Got to build it, build it high.
Got to build it, build it high.

Don’t give in because you fail your first attempt.
Don’t start shouting, what’s the point in argument?
Let’s stand united, take the challenge in our stride.
Just remember that we’re on the same side.

We’ve got a problem,
We can work it out.
Let’s get together,
That’s what it’s all about.
Got to build it, build it high.
Got to build it, build it high.

Don’t start blaming someone else when things go wrong.
That’s wasting precious time and we don’t have too long.
No use in panic when the situation’s grim,
Trust in teamwork and let the game begin!

We’ve got a problem,
We can work it out.
Let’s get together,
That’s what it’s all about.
Got to build it, build it high.
Got to build it, build it high.
Build it high,
Build it high,
Build it high.

I wish I knew how it would feel to be free

2010-03-23T11:40:00.000-07:00

I wish I knew how it would feel to be free.
I wish I could break all the chains holding me.
I wish I could say all the things that I should say
Say ‘em loud, say ‘em clear
For the whole round world to hear.

I wish I could share all the love that’s in my heart.
Remove all the bars that keep us apart.
I wish you could know what it means to be me,
Then you’d see, and agree
That ev’ry man should be free.

I wish I could give like I’m longing to give.
I wish I could live like I’m longing to live.
I wish I could do all the things that I can do
And tho’ I’m way overdue
I’d be starting anew.

Well I wish I could be like a bird in the sky.
How sweet it would be if I found I could fly.
Oh I’d soar to the sun and look down at the sea,
Then I’d sing ‘cos I know
How it feels to be free.
Then I’d sing ‘cos I know
How it feels to be free.
Yes I’d sing ‘cos I know
How it feels to be free!

Shadow

2010-03-02T08:45:00.000-08:00

Verse 1
Something’s right behind me,
Following me round,
Something dark and fuzzy,
Sticking to the ground.

Chorus
Don’t look now, it’s creeping and gliding,
Don’t look now, it’s slipping and sliding,
Let’s turn round and catch it while it’s hiding!
What a funny shadow!

Verse 2
Running, jumping, hopping,
Like an acrobat
Creeping round the garden
Frightening the cat!

Chorus

Verse 3
Sitting in the sunshine
Playing in the sand
Like a little echo
Always close at hand.
Chorus

Verse 4
When I’m in my bedroom
Gives me quite a scare
Crouching round the corner
Waiting on the stair.

Teddy Bear Rock & Roll

2010-02-09T08:39:00.000-08:00

Teddy Bear Rock ‘n’ Roll

Teddy’s feeling sad today,
Gotta chase those blues away,
We know just the very thing to do.
Listen while we sing a song,
Soon you’ll want to jive along,
This will bring a smile to me and you.

Chorus
Shake those paws little Teddy Bear,
Shimmy, shimmy, shimmy like you just don’t care,
Take those feet dancing everywhere and let’s rock!
Twist and turn, give a jump or two,
Wriggle, wriggle, wriggle till your fur turns blue,
Take my hand till the music’s through and let’s roll!

Teddy’s feeling tired today,
Gotta chase those blues away,
We know just the very thing to do.
Listen while we sing a song,
Soon you’ll want to jive along,
This will bring a smile to me and you.

Chorus

Teddy’s feeling cross today,
Gotta chase those blues away,
We know just the very thing to do.
Listen while we sing a song,
Soon you’ll want to jive along,
This will bring a smile to me and you.
Chorus

It's easier to learn things when you sing them ......
