There is a song called "If I were not upon a stage". It presents different categories of jobs. I tried finding a youtube video and this is the best I could find.
Here are the lyrics I found:
You could have your students invent other lyrics to other kind of jobs and they could all sing the song. |

Hello!
Our suggestion would be Shania Twain �s Not Just A Pretty Face. The songs mentions lots of different jobs. This has worked very well in class in the past.
We �ve compiled a table of song suggestions for teaching various topics at TeflTunes.com, which you may find useful for future lessons:

We �re adding to this all the time, so please feel free to contribute some ideas!
