Oh, I’m so lucky to have a little shadow

It runs when I run; it goes when I go

My dog, yes my dog is the best dog around

Oh, my dog, yes my dog is the best dog in town

She is so cute and oh, so smart

She’s really strong and fast as a dart

She likes to play twenty hours a day

I know in my heart we’ll never be apart

Oh, I’m so lucky to have a little shadow

It runs when I run; it goes when I go

My dog, yes my dog is the best dog around

Oh, my dog, yes my dog is the best dog in town

She’s black and tan and really cool

I’m the envy of all the kids in school

She likes to go for rides on slippery slides

And then she likes to jump in my neighbor’s pool

Oh, I’m so lucky to have a little shadow

It runs when I run; it goes when I go

My dog, yes my dog is the best dog around

Oh, my dog, yes my dog is the best dog in town

We play outside, we go for walks

We have the world’s most interesting talks

She’s my pride and joy, she’s my loveable toy

She’s the coolest dog around on the whole sidewalk

Oh, I’m so lucky to have a little shadow

It runs when I run; it goes when I go

My dog, yes my dog is the best dog around

Oh, my dog, yes my dog is the best dog in town!

Playing in the sunshine every day is just so fine

Skies of blue and fields of green make for a happy time

There is so much to do in camp where laughter is the rule

There’s arts and crafts and singing songs and swimming in the pool

The counselors and the CITs add to our summer fun

The special friends that we make in camp, we hope we’re never done!

There’s softball and there’s soccer and there’s rolling on the ground

My baseball glove and the cap I love came from the lost and found

There’s storytelling and archery and hiking in the woods

And in the fall we’ll tell our friends how the summer was so good

The counselors and the CITs add to our summer fun

The special friends that we make in camp, we hope we’re never done!

Special days and cookouts, they really make us smile

Running races make us tired because we run for miles

The ices that we get for snack just really can’t be beat

It is a tasty way you see, to beat the summer heat

The special friends that we make in camp, we hope we’re never done!

Well, a couple’a times since the start of the year

You know that mean, old lunch lady? Well, she wasn’t here

There’s a replacement for her, who I just adore

When she calls us up for seconds, man, I get on line for more

Substitute Lunch Lady, no never is mean

Substitute Lunch Lady, Cafeteria Queen

You see, it’s happened once or twice since school began

When I heard that she was here, man, my feet just ran

Now, I’m gettin’ on line, hip, hip hooray

Because she’s servin’ up some lunch and I like it that way

Substitute Lunch Lady makes us eat all our greens

Substitute Lunch Lady, Cafeteria Queen

She’s got a gray oven mitt, and her hair’s in a net

She makes the best mashed potatoes that I’ll never forget

She makes a great chocolate milk, she knows the way to my heart

I like her grilled cheese sandwich and her raspberry tarts

Substitute Lunch Lady cooks up some chili and beans

Substitute Lunch Lady, Cafeteria Queen

Oh man, she’s serving lunch again in school today

You know I can’t remember when I used to feel this way

Now I’m glad that I don’t bring my lunch from home in a box

‘Cause there’s a rumor goin’ ‘round she’s serving bagels and lox!

Substitute Lunch Lady, cooks up some chili and beans

Substitute Lunch Lady no never is mean

Substitute Lunch Lady, Cafeteria Queen!

He’s a schoolyard bully; He’s terrible mean

Eyes red like fire - teeth yellow green

He’s a schoolyard bully; he’s a rascal and thug

He’s got a bad reputation; he’s got a nasty old mug

He’s a schoolyard bully; he’s miserable tough

He wants all your money; your small change is not enough

He’s a schoolyard bully; he’s come a’lookin’ for me

Now I’m lookin’ for shelter; someone find me a tree

You see he told me on the bus early today,

“I’ll see you outside kid, when we go out to play.”

He said, “I’ll see you after lunch, so kid don’t try to hide

I’ll see you in the schoolyard, kid, I’ll find you outside.”

He’s a schoolyard bully; likes startin’ up fights

Don’t seem to know what’s wrong or what’s right

He’s a schoolyard bully; the ground shakes when he walks

But I don’t want to fight him; I wanna just talk

He’s a schoolyard bully; now he sees me by the fence

My knees are a’shakin’; I think I wet my pants

Now here comes that bully; and he’s grabbing my hands

He said, “I’m tired of fighting, kid; I just want to be friends”

You see he told me on the bus early today,

“I’ll see you outside kid, when we go out to play.”

He said, “I’ll see you after lunch, so kid don’t try to hide

I’ll see you in the schoolyard, kid, I’ll find you outside.”

Well, he was a schoolyard bully; but misunderstood

Had a bad reputation, but now he’s learned to be good

No more schoolyard bully; nowhere to be seen

We’re learning to like him; ‘cause he’s no longer mean

You see he told me on the bus early today,

“I’ll see you outside kid, when we go out to play.”

He said, “I’ll see you after lunch, so kid don’t try to hide

I’ll see you in the schoolyard, kid, I’ll find you outside.”

Adapted from ancient liturgy

The One who makes peace, the One who makes peace

The One who makes peace in the heavens

Will make peace for us and all of the world

And we say “amein and amein”

Make peace right here on earth

Give all you’ve got, you’ll see the worth

With give and take, the black and white will slowly fade away

And peace will lead us to a brighter day

Make peace right here on earth

From the moment that I saw you I knew you’d be my wife

A kindred spirit searching for a way to make a life

Reflecting now on memories of days come before

An infant’s cry, a playful smile; who could ask for more?

I’ve seen the way you care about the people that you love

Your tender way just suits you dear, it fits you like a glove

The lives you touch, both young and old, are better off by far

Your compassion just amazes me; you’re my champion, my star

So many things we learn in life can only come with age

Like the patience that is needed just to turn another page

And I owe so much to you my love, our family, my life

Ever since the day we married everything has turned out right

My deepest appreciation is yours alone

I’m so lucky to have found you, to have built our happy home

I imagine growing old with you, my lover and my friend

Together we will greet each day, around life’s every bend

And now you’ve reached this milestone, you deserve a special song

So I give this one to you babe, may it last your whole life long

Sing the simple melody and keep it in your heart

Share it with your loved ones, give everyone a part

So many things we learn in life can only come with age

Like the patience that is needed just to turn another page

And I owe so much to you my love, our family, my life

Ever since the day we married everything has turned out right

And I owe so much to you my love, our family, my life

From the moment that I saw you I knew you’d be my wife

Adapted from the Book of Numbers, 6:24-26

May God bless you, and may God keep you

May God look kindly on you and grant you peace

May God bless you and favor you

May God grant you peace

Live with wisdom and live with compassion

Speak words of kindness and you’ll always be in fashion

Do unto others, live the golden rule

And honor those who truly honor life

Give all your effort all the time, just keep on trying

Know wrong from right, don’t be fooled by people lying

Let your conscience be your guiding light

Be gracious when you lose and when you win

May God bless you, and may God keep you

May God look kindly on you and grant you peace

May God bless you and favor you

May God grant you peace

May God bless you and favor you

May God grant you peace
