I’ve written a couple of first day of school songs. Such an important event. I wrote this one with kids from Elvehjem School nearly 20 years ago.
It’s in honor of all those kids and teachers returning or starting out! Whether it’s last week next week or today. Here we go….
First Day of School
Chorus
On my first day of school
I had to learn the rules
I made new friends, way back then
On my first day of school.
It was summer then.
The sun was shining bright.
We wore shorts and sandals
Ooh, ooh, ooh, such a beautiful sight.
Some of us felt happy.
Some of us felt shy.
Some felt scared and nervous
Ooh, ooh, ooh, some started to cry.
We all found our lockers.
We all found our seats.
Our parents were watching
Ooh, ooh, ooh and we got a treat
Our teacher was nice.
She smiled the whole day.
She did not give us homework
Ooh, ooh, ooh, and she let us play.
