The First Grade Musical
Once Upon a Lily Pad
1. This is the Life
1.
We live in a wonderland
Down where the lily pads grow
Mud puddles and lots of sand
It’s the only place we know
This is the life, this is the life
Oh, this is the life for me
This is the life, this is the life
Oh, this is the life for m
2.
Way down by the water’s edge
That’s where we all like to be
Splish, splashing and playing games
Oh, this life is for me
This is the life, this is the life
Oh, this is the life for me
This is the life, this is the life
Oh, this is the life for me
Where in this whole wide world
Could you have so much fun?
Waking up to a brand new day
And playing in the morning sun!

2. Wings and Feathers
Every creature under the sun, / was made from a different design.
Some were given flippers and fins / while others have feet so fine!
Frogs were meant to hop all around / and croak with a voice that rings (ribbit)
While we were meant to fly through the air / on our lovely feathers and wings!
Wings and feathers, feathers and wings,
This is nature’s design!
We were given wonderful things,
Wings and feathers, Wings and feathers, Lovely feathers and wings!
3. Come Out of Your Shell
1.
Don’t be afraid to take a chance
When you hear the music you gotta dance.
Time’s awastin’ you know so well
So come on, come on! Come out of your shell!
2.
Hear the message that we sing
No one’s perfect at everything.
Find the things that you do well
And come on, come on! Come out of your shell!
Don’t be scared. Don’t be shy.
Spread your wings, and you can fly… can fly.
