Reading Rocks the USA
Reading Rocks that’s what I say
Reading Rocks the USA

We got elephants and kangaroos
Dinosaurs and Scooby Doo
Alligators and Dr. Seuss

Dogs, frogs, the Wizard of Oz
American Girl and Santa Claus

San Francisco to New Orleans
Skies of blue and fields of green
Omaha to Timbuktu
I like reading so do you
Florida to New York State
Grab a book and don’t be late

"Late Night Readin' Blues" (grades: 3-5)
© Susan Hamlin / Flood Wood Music
Woke up this morning
Got those cobwebs in my head
My mamma gives a warning
But I can’t get out of bed
Outside the dawn is breakin’
My eyes don’ like the light
Try to get a wakin’
But I was readin’ half the night
Chorus:
Got those late night, late night readin’ blues
Got those page turnin', great night reading blues!
The rooster crowed at daylight
My book was nearly done
reading with a flashlight
And my homework never done
(Air Guitar Break)
Well I tried to call a halt
But the pages turned themselves!
It’s really not my fault
Now I missed that schoolyard bell!
(Chorus)

Summer vacation starts today

We’re alive ~ Hey we’re reading!
Across the USA

Hot weather steamin’ in the haze
Beach blanket reading lazy days

Out on the ocean you and me
Summer’s in motion one two three
We’re divin’ into readin’ in the summer sun today

We’re hiking and we’re biking every day
Spinnin’ and a grinnin’ every step of the way
Divin’ into reading in the summer sun today

Dark stormy weather summer camp
Reading together cold and damp
Now we are chasing these rainy blues away – ay – ay –ay!

"Actions Speak / Walk the Walk" (grades: all)
by Brian Chevalier © Songspun Productions
I walk the walk, I show respect
By how I’m treating you
I don’t make fun, I’m showing love
I’m spreading peace, I’m like the dove
Chorus:
It’s up to me
It’s my responsibility
It’s OK to talk the talk
But actions speak,
so walk the walk
Walk the Walk!
I walk the walk, I show I care
I’m showing some compassion
If times are tough, I’ll help you through
I’m your friend I’m here for you
(chorus)
I walk the walk, I’m trustworthy
I’m honest and I’m fair
Sportsmanship is my way
My actions speak, every day
(chorus)
Bridge:
So walk the walk every day
Spread you kindness round
When you lead by example you will see
Your words will say, but your actions speak
(chorus)

"Circle of Friends" (grades: k-1-2)
© Brian Chevalier / Songspun Productions
Performed with ASL (American Sign Language)
Chorus:
In our circle of friends
We’re kind and we share
In our circle of friends
We’re kind and we care
In our circle of friends ...
Love never ends
Love never ends
Love never ends
In our circle of friends
When there’s a problem
I’m working it out
I don’t tattle and
I don’t shout
(Chorus)
There are many ways
I can be kind
I’ll catch the door
When you walk behind
(Chorus)
In our class
We do a cheer
Just to show
We’re glad that you’re here
(Chorus)
Bridge
If you’re friendly
If you’re kind
If you share
Give a cheer! I care!
(Chorus)
Taking turns
Is one way that I share
By taking turns
I show that I care!
(Chorus)
In our circle of friends (4 x – to end)

"Bully Blues" (grades: 2-6)
© Susan Hamlin / Flood Wood Music
Woke up this morning
Got those cobwebs in my head
I was the schoolyard bully
But I can’t get out of bed
Outside the dawn is breakin’
My eyes don’ like the light
A bully’s game is takin’
And I know that isn’t right
Chorus:
Got those no more, lonely Bully Blues
Got those no more, lonely Bully Blues
The rooster crowed at daylight
My bully days are done
Today I’ll try to do right
And we’ll all be havin’ fun
(Air Guitar Break)
Well my friends they called a halt!
I guess I learned a few
Nobody likes a bully
Now I’m makin' friends with you!
(Chorus / Air Guitar Finale)
