THE RAINBOW CONNECTION
Why are there so many songs about rainbows, and what’s on the other side?
Rainbows are vision, but only illusions, and rainbows nave nothing to hide.
So we’ve been told and some chose to believe it.
I know they’re wrong, wait and see.
Someday we’ll find it, the Rainbow Connection the lovers, the dreams and me.
Who said that ev’ry wish would be heard and answered
when wished on the morning star?
Somebody though of that and someone believed it; look what it’s done so far.
What’s so amazing that keeps us star gazing? What do we think we might see?
Someday we’ll find it, the Rainbow Connection; the lovers, the dreamers and me.
(bridge) All of us under its spell; we know that it’s probably magic.
Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices?
I’ve heard them calling my name.
Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors?
The voice might be one and the same.
I’ve heard it too many times to ignore it. It’s something that I’m s’posed to be.
Someday we’ll find it, the Rainbow Connection; the lovers, the dreamers and me.

SONG FOR THE UNSUNG HERO
(solo 1) Let us sing for unsung heroes, those who lay their dreams aside.
Choosing honor more than glory, pledging faith with quiet pride.
(add solo 2)Those who uniform is courage, yet a re unashamed of tears.
(add solo 3) Finding in their love of freedom power stronger than their fears.
REFRAIN
Sing a song for unsung heroes, sing from sea to shining sea.
As the faithful sang before you, sing the song of liberty.
Let us sing for unsung heroes, those who answer freedom’s call.
Those united by one purpose, all for one and one for all.
We will sing and not be silenced, we will keep our voices strong,
For as long as we keep singing, freedom’s cry will still live on!
(repeat REFRAIN) Sing the song of liberty!
My country ‘tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing.
Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrims’ pride,
From ev’ry mountainside let freedom ring.
Let us sing the song of freedom, sing the song of liberty. America!
PIZZA!
We’re hungry and our stomachs they are growling.

We’ll keep eating pizza ‘til they carry us………away! Hip, hip, hooray!
A PLACE IN THE CHOIR
REFRAIN
All God’s creatures got a place in the choir.
Some sing low and some sing higher;
Some sing out loud on the telephone wire;
Some just clap their hands, or paws, or anything they’ve got, now.
[repeat REFRAIN]
Solo #1
Listen to the top, where the little bird sings,
And the melodies and the high notes ringin’,
And the hoot owl cries over ev’rything,
And the blackbird disagrees.
Solo #2
Singin’ in the night time, singin’ in the day,
When the little duck quacks and he’s on his way,
And the otter hasn’t got much to say,
And the porcupine talks t’himself.
[repeat REFRAIN]
Solo #3
Dogs and the cats, they take up the middle
Where the honeybee hums and the cricket fiddles.
The donkey brays and the pony neighs.
The old gray badger sighs.
4
Solo #4
Listen to the bass: it’s the one on the bottom,
Where the bull frog croaks and the hippopotamus
Moans and groans with a big to-do,
And the old cow just goes “moo”.
[repeat REFRAIN]
All Sing This Verse
It’s a simple song, a little song ev’rywhere,
By the ox and the fox and the grizzly bear,
The dopey alligator and the hawk above,
The sly old weasel and the turtle dove.
[repeat REFRAIN twice]
[suddenly slower]: All God’s creatures got a place in the choir!
