First Day of School: Lyrics in English
It's hard to wake up in the morning light
When I tossed and I turned throughout the night
I miss the summer days
For summer clothes and summer plays
For the summer holidays
I throw the cold water on my face
I'm scared to go to that place
The brush is in my hair
What am I gonna wear?
This isn't fair!
Chorus
First day of school
I hope my teacher's cool
First day of school
My mom yells, "the bus is here"
I can feel the rising fear
I guess it won't be so bad, yeah
Will have to let this day unfold
To see what it really holds
The first day of school
Chorus
First day of school
I hope my teacher's cool
First day of school
My mom yells, "the bus is here"
I can feel the rising fear
I guess it won't be so bad, yeah
Primo Giorno di Scuola: Lyrics in Italian
E difficile svegliartsi la mattina
Quando mi girarsi e rigiarsi tutta la notte
Mi manca l'estate
Per le vestiti de l'estate e le giochi de l'estate
Per le vacanze de l'estate
Mi butta laqua fresca nella faccia
Ho pura di andare a quel posto
La spazzola in mei capelli
Che mi metto?
Non e giusto!
Coro
Primo giorno di scuola
Speriamo che la maestra é fantastico
Primo giorno di scuola
Mia madre strilla, "l'autobus sta qui"
Mi sento agitata
Penzo che non é male, si
Lasciare il giorno come viene
Per vedere come é
Primo giorno di scuola
Coro
Primo giorno di scuola
Speriamo che la maestra e fantastico
Primo giorno di scuola
Mia madre strilla, "l'autobus sta qui"
Mi sento agitata
Penzo che non e male, si

TRACK: Alternative Rock Volume I, Bouncing
I visited the site Free Play Music http://www.freeplaymusic.com to find a track for my song. I carefully read the terms of use of the website to learn how to properly and legally use the tracks provided. If at any reason, this track cannot be used because of copyright laws, I will immediately remove it from this website.
IMAGES: The images that I have used are from the site Morgue File http://www.morguefile.com. The morguefile site contains photos by many artists who offer their photos to be used in creative projects by visitors to the site.
SONG: When thinking about a song to write for children, I thought back to my experiences as a child. I instantly thought about the first day of school and how nervous and sick I would get just thinking about my first day of school and who my teacher would be. I would drag my mom with me every year on the first day of school to comfort me and tell me that everything would be just fine.
I hope that this song will throw away some of those first day jitters that children feel and see that school is a place to meet new people, make friends and have fun!
I am grateful for using songchild to post my lyrics and song because I have made my lyrics and song available to everyone who visits my songchild page. Songchild is an excellent source for teachers, students and children to visit and explore the music created by future educators. What is wonderful about songchild is that any student or child can create their own lyrics and song and share it here as well.
Thank You
