Songs you sang at school?

I'm guessing everyone has sung in some sort of assembly or service at school?

what was your favourite song? and when did you last hear it?

did your school have any traits? such as adding long zzzzz soundszzzz to wordzzzzz like thizzzz and making hisssssssingsssss soundsssss at the end of lines?

It always makes me smile to think of those OHPs and the dodgy school piano - and even dodgier school pianist. who was actually a teacher from year 4.

that's gotta be a favourite.

Oh yes - OHP duty was serious stuff.
if you put it on the wrong way round - the whole school would laugh at you.

the apples are ripe - the plums are red
*whispers* broad beans are sleeping in their blankety bed yeeeah!

Don't build your house on the sandy land,
Doo doo doo.
Don't build it too near the shor-ore.
Well, it might be kind of nice, but you'll have to build it twice,
And you'll have to build you house once more.
You'd better build your house upon a rock.
Dum dah.
Make a good foundation on a solid spot.
And the storrrrrms maaaaay come and go,
But the peace of God you will know.

"So light up the fiiiire and let the flame burrrrn, open the door, let Jesus returrrrn!"

And nothing beat our totally random 'school song' which was about bricks and mortar as far as I can remember :s-smilie:

You just described my junior school to a T including the Year 4 teacher lady, who actually was a bit eccentric and liked to play the bagpipes as well as the piano and danced on her piano stool..

Ah, because we were C of E...Colours Of Day was a good song for us..everyone, not just the loudmouths, shouted out the chorus everytime...lol. And Autumn Days springs to mind.

And, he's got the whole wide world in his pants!

Cauliflowers fluffy and cabbages green,
Strawberries sweeter than I'd ever seen.
Beetroot purple and onion white,
All grow steadily day and night!

...on the brontosauRUSSSSS!

anyway, thankyou for letting me gabble.

Anyone else do that one?

Fighting over moving down the sheet on the OHP.

In Year 7 I was the OHP monitor. Serious business. I got to choose the hymns and put them on the OHP.

"ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL things bright and beautiful"

"WATER, WATER OF LIFE , Jeeesus gives us the water of life"

and

Sing hosanna, sing hosanna,
Sing hosanna to the King of kings!
Sing hosanna, sing hosanna,
Sing hosanna to the King.

I sound like such a Godbod but i bloody loved the schoo hymns.

Crap. I was much too slow. Everyone else has just mentioned colours of day and the harvest song.

did you just make that up? haha

the one I know is :

the wise man built his house upon the rock
the wise man built his house upon the rock
the wise man built his house upon the rock and the rain came tumbling down

the rain came down and the floods went uuuuuUUUUUUUUUP
the rain came down and the floods went uuuuuUUUUUUUUUP
the rain came down and the floods went uuuuuUUUUUUUUUP (cue stupid ascending voice)
and the house on the rock stood firm.
