Looking for a song
 
Hello everyone!
 
Could you tell me where this song is from? It starts like this:
"We get up at 8 o �clock 
 It �s time to start the day
We finish school at 3 o �clock 
We always shout HOORAY
We meet our friends at 4 o �clock
And then it �s time to play
We �re happy all the time..."
I thought it was from Round-up textbook but I can �t find it anywhere. I really like it and I need it for my Present Simple Tense lesson. It �s a beautiful and very useful song.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi Ildik�,
 
Here is the song you wanted:
 
We get up at eight o�clock
It�s time to start the day
We finish school at three o�clock
We always shout HooRay!
We meet our friends at four o�clock
And then it�s time to play!
We�re happy all the time!
We are happy in the morning
We�re happy in the evening
We are happy at the weekends
We�re happy all the time!
On Mondays we play tennis
And we sometimes watch TV
On Wednesdays we play football
Or we climb our favourite tree
On Fridays we play basketball
And everyone can see
We�re happy all the time!
We are happy in the morning
We�re happy in the evening
We are happy at the weekends
We�re happy all the time!
In the summer we can swim
And play out in the sun
In winter we play in the snow
And have a lot of fun!
In autumn we play with the leaves
It�s fun for everyone
We�re happy all the time!
We are happy in the morning
We�re happy in the evening
We are happy at the weekends
We�re happy all the time!
 
If you need the mp3 file for the children�s song with these words above (for teaching prepositions of time and simple present), please PM me with your email address.

The original tune is from these old songs:  �John Brown�s Body�/�The Battle Hymn of the Republic�/�Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory�, but, as As Cinquo Quinas mentioned to me, the lyrics of those original ones are not so useful for teaching elementary students! :-))

Hi Ildikó,
 
Please check your private message.
 
It might be a good idea to delete this post now because you will get a lot of spam if you leave your email address on the forum. :-)
