School song lyrics
Chorus
I’ve got my brand new pens
And a pencil case,
I’ve cleaned my teeth
And I’ve washed my face,
I’ve got my shiny shoes
And some new school gear,
We’re starting a new school year.
Verse 1
New skills to learn,
New things to make,
I’ll try my best,
I wonder what my new teacher’s like?
Chorus
Verse 2
New facts to learn,
New friends to make,
I’ll try my best,
I wonder what my new classroom’s like?
Final chorus
I’ve got my brand new pens
And a pencil case,
I’ve cleaned my teeth
And I’ve washed my face,
I’ve got my shiny shoes
And some new school gear,
We’re starting a new school year,
Starting a new school year,
Starting a new school year.
