"Take Me Out Of This Classroom" (to the tune of "Take Me Out To The Ball Game")

Take me out of this classroom.

Take me out of this school.

I want vacation and sleeping in.

I want to leave here with all of my friends.

Let me hit the road for the summer.

Let me play all day in the sun.

For it's one, two, three cheers, hurray!

For it's our last day today!


"I Love Reading" (to the tune of "Are You Sleeping?")

I love reading.

I love reading.

It's such fun!

It's such fun!

Reading is exciting.

It gives us information.

I love to read.

I love to read.


"I've Been Working Here At Our School" (to the tune of "I've Been Working On The Railroad")

We've been working here at our school,

all the live long year.

We've been working here at our school,

let's give a great big cheer.

Can't you hear the school bell ringing,

vacation's very near.

Can't you hear the children shouting,

"Summer's almost here.

Summer's almost here. Summer's almost here. Summer's almost here.

We all need a break.

We all need a break.

Yes, we all need a summer break.

We all need a break. We all need a break.

Oh, we all need a break" and we're singing,

"Let's all take a vacation.

Let's all take a rest.

Let's all take a vacation."

'Cause our school is the best!
