Solo Letter Songs

Song 5- Aphrodite Solo- Noor 6G
Please help my brother Aristotle, he’s really very picky.
Most foods we put upon his plate he thinks are very icky.
He screams, he cries, he moans, he sighs, he hides under the table.
Oh, Edwina, sweet Edwina won’t you help me if you’re able?
Your new friend, Aphrodite Colossus Athena Papadopoulos

Song 8 Abigail- Yasmin A

Edwina! Edwina! I’m at the end of my rope. How do I stop my brother from acting like a dope?
He makes disgusting noises and what makes it worst of all
I’d like to punch his lights out but he’s big and I’m too small.
My birthday party’s coming and his grossness never ends.
How can I have him there without losing all my friends?
Most sincerely, warmest wishes, Abigail Mathilda Fleckenheimer.

Song 10 Carrie- Dalal

Hey Edwina! My life is a mess! I’ve got such a problem and I’m under such stress!
My gram said set the table and it’s really not fair,
For my gosh-all these utensils go who knows where?
Can you help me out? I’m really in a quandary!
At least I’m glad that grandma didn’t make me do the laundry!
Total true love… Carrie         Click!

Song 14- Periwinkle- Yara 6K
Dear Edwina… Dear Edwina DEAR EDWINA!!
My problem is I'm very shy and feeling very blue. I'm moving very far away and don't know what do.
My parents bought a ski school in Sweden and soon in the snow I’ll be playing.
But how can I make any new friends if I don’t know what they’re saying?
Thank you for your kindness, fondly ever yours, Periwinkle Hurgen Burgen Yurrgenson.

Song 15- Hola, Lola   Main Cast+ Chorus 1+ Lola-Nada 5M, Harry- Yousef Q

Edwina:

(Verse 1)
Lola Lopez lived in Lima, lovely Lima in Peru.
Lola had a cousin Harry way out west in Honalulu.
One day Lola got a letter from her cousin way out west.
Harry- "If you'd come to my birthday party, Lola that would be the best"
Edwina- So on an airplane Lola flew, all the way from Lima Peru, far across the ocean blue flew Lola from Lima to Honalulu and Harry's family said:

Chorus
Hola Lola, Lola hello. Hola Lola, hello, Hola Lola, Lola hello, Hola Lola hello!

Edwina:
(Verse 2)
There at Harry's birthday party as the children laughed and played
Cake was served by Harry's mom but under a palm tree Lola stayed.
Harry said to Lola;

Harry-           "Lola, why not come and say hello?"
Lola-             "Nadie aqui habla mi dioma"

Edwina-        They're all talking words I don't know! And Harry said
Harry-           "Now don't be shy! Come to the table for pineapple pie.
Everyone will welcome you, sweet Lola from Lima to Honalulu. Just say;"

Chorus
Hola Lola, Lola hello. Hola Lola, hello, Hola Lola, Lola hello, Hola Lola hello!

 Edwina-

(Verse 3)
Lola sat down at the table set up in the island sand
Softly Lola whispered "hola" hoping the kids would understand
Lola closed her eyes and swallowed, fearing that the worst would come
but all the kids took ukaleles and they all began to strum! and they all sang;

Everyone-
Hola Lola, Lola hello. Hola Lola, hello, Hola Lola, Lola hello, Hola Lola hello!

Aloha Lola! Bon Jour, Lola! Salaam Lola! Cheerio!  Ciao Lola! Ni hau, Lola!
Jambo, anhyea hasehyo!

So if you meet someone different and they seem a little shy
You’ll make friends in any language. Think of Lola and just say hi!

 Hola Lola, Lola hello. Hola Lola, hello, Hola Lola, Lola hello, Hola Lola hello!

 Song 22- Sing Your Own Song /Up on the Fridge Reprise- Edwina, Katie, Main Cast

Edwina-
Those kids who try and knock you down, they’re not what life’s about
Just learn to sing your special song and drown them out
I won’t pretend it doesn’t hurt some things kids say can hurt a lot
But what hurts more is when they make you want to be something you’re not.

You’ve got to sing your own song. Use your own voice.
Your voice is not a thing to be afraid of.
And when they hear it ring true there’s not a thing they can do
To take away the music that you’re made of.

Oh, to be normal to be a safe and unassuming shade of grey
Not too different, not too smart no more poems in your heart
Do you really want to live your life that way?

For those who work so very hard to make their talent fly
It’s hard when what brings so much joy can make you cry

Main Cast enter
But hold on tight to who you are, don’t lose that joy to please the crowd.
And if they still don’t understand, you’ll have to sing a little louder

Just sing your own song. Use your own voice your voice is not a thing to be afraid of
And when they hear it ring true there’s not a thing they can do
To take away the music that you’re made of

Don’t let them take away the music that you’re made of.

Edwina-  

There’s no invitation to put on the fridge, no ribbon to point to with pride.

And I like big fat ‘A’s” but what “A” can compare to the feeling I’m feeling inside.  

Edwina/Katie                                                                                                                          And what’s more reward than a hug from your sis or the fact that your friends had a ball;. Don’t think about prizes. Just do what you love

Everyone-        And that’s the best advice__ of__ all_____!

 

Song 23 –Encore- Hola, Lola  EVERYONE!!!!

Hola Lola, Lola hello. Hola Lola, hello, Hola Lola, Lola hello, Hola Lola hello!

Aloha Lola! Bon Jour, Lola! Salaam Lola! Cheerio!  Ciao Lola! Ni hau, Lola!
Jambo, anhyea hasehyo!

So if you meet someone different and they seem a little shy
You’ll make friends in any language. Think of Lola and just say hi!

 Hola Lola, Lola hello. Hola Lola, hello, Hola Lola, Lola hello, Hola Lola hello!

CHORUS 2 SONGS

Song 6  Say No Thank You  - Shereen, Mais, Ali L, Meriem + Chorus 2

Johnny looked like an angel in his suit and tie as he visited the queen of Boola Boola
And he'd hoped that he'd remember all the do's and dont's 

Of the manners that he'd learned in schoola.

He greeted the Queen with a small polite bow  and he said "It's very nice to meet you."
and the Queen responded "Johnny! The pleasures all mine!
and a host of strange foods I will feed you!"

Johnny took a little taste of some steamy, spicy soup and his face turned very red
as he struggled with a smile he heard a little voice  singing softly in his head
(and it said)

Say no thank you (say no thank you)  Say no thank you (say no thank you)
If the soup leaves you cold  you shouldn't sputter or scold
Just say no thank you  (say no thank you) Say no thank you (say no thank you)
press your napkin to your chin breath out and breath in .

For in many cases you'll find its true. What’s good to someone else may not, taste good to you.
So when that happens (so when that happens)  If that happens (if that happens)
Say no thank you.

Don't pretend that you are choking Don't fall down upon the floor
Simply smile, say no thank you. Don't run screaming out the door (Johnny??)

It's important that you don't insult your host,
But that doesn't mean you have to eat octopus toast!
(Johnny how about a little taste of octopus toast?!)  Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

Say no thank you. Toad’s feet (Say no thank you) Say no thank you Beef Borsht (Say no thank you)
Take a teeny little bite, it may actually taste alright.
Just say no thank you Pickled knuckles(Say no thank you)

Say no thank you Okra? (Say no thank you)
Put a smidge upon your plate Everybody can relate (Say no thank you)

For in many cases you'll find it's right even if you don't like something You can, be polite!

So when that happens Eel? If that happens French Fried Frogs? Say no thank__ you___
When that happens  Yams?If that happens  Rooster Lips? Say no thank__ you

 We’d like to introduce you to our steel drum band.                           

Won’t you help us dear Ed wee hee hee na!

We got a little problem and we hope you’ll lend a hand!      

 Won’t you help us dear Ed wee hee hee na!

There’s a big steel drum parade down in Jamaica where it’s sunny. 

Won’t you help us dear Ed wee hee hee na!

And our steel drum band can go if we can raise the ticket money.    

Won’t you help us dear Ed wee hee hee na!

We had a little bake sale, we washed a lot of cars. We had a little telethon and sold some candy bars.

And before you could say Day-o we had earned us every cent.

But they had a sale on Gameboys and now all the money’s spent.

Song 17- RICHER THAN A CELEBRITY- Maryam 6G (Mary Sue), Carol 6G (Betty Bob) + Chorus 2

 Mary Sue, Betty Bob

If you look inside your wallet or your dresser or your purse
And you find, how shall we say, the cupboard’s bare
There’s a lesson you should follow that at first is hard to swallow
But in time you’ll learn to use with style and flair

Chorus-Style and Flair

Mary Sue, Betty Bob

It’s a lesson that we learned from all our years down on the farm
In the rolling corn fields out in Illinois (Ill-ih-noy)  Chorus- Illinois (Ill-ih noy)
Now listen carefully, “If you’re off to the cite
Here’s some good advice for all young girls and boys… (Girls and Boys)

Don’t spend all your money, (No! No!) Bank a little honey (Yo! Yo!)
If you do your future will be sunny”          (Sun, Sun, Sunny, Sunny Sunny)
If you watch your spending,                   (Yep Yep!)
There will be a happy ending                  (You Bet!)
Put your money in the bank - and you’ll soon have ME to thank
When you’re richer than a ce-leb-ri-ty.

 For example, if you’re holding your allowance in your hand,

And you’re passing by your fav’rite candy store (Fav’rite store)
Though you’re saving for a baseball glove you’ve wanted all year long
You can see those Ju-Ju-bees you just adore (Yum!)
And you go up to the counter top and to yourself you say
‘I deserve these Ju-Ju-Bees I really do’ (Of course you do!)
A vision may appear, and it’s really loud and clear, saying (Ahhhhh)
“I would put those back if I were you!”
What the heck’s a Ju-Ju- Bee?

All Girls:

Don't spend all your money,      Small Group- (Do you really need that)
Bank a little honey (I don’t think so!)
Being broke is really not that funny (Fun! Fun! Funny, funny funny!)
Put aside some cash now, (Yo! Yo!)
Start a little stash now (Grow! Grow!)
If you care about each cent, and you saved instead of spent
You’ll be richer than a cel-eb-ri-ty.

Chorus Girls

That’s a really lovely outfit, let’s go out and see a show
All the girls are meeting up for crazy golf and we really want you to go (Yay!)

Mary Sue, Betty Bob

Don’t forget your friend on the farm (Neigh!) Fun shouldn’t cost you a leg and an arm
Pick the thing you want the most or your savings will be toast

All
Don’t spend all your money, (Save it up!) Bank a little honey, (Make it grow!)
If you do your future will be sunny” (Oh yeh!, Sunny and Funny)
If you watch your spending,  (Don’t spend like a fool)
There will be a happy ending, (And that will be cool)
Put your money in the bank- and you’ll soon have ME to thank
When you’re richer than a ce-leb-ri-ty. (Just imagine!)
Richer than a ce-leb-ri-ty. (Just-in Bieber!)
Richer than a cel-eb-ri-ty
Here comes the big finish. KERCHING!

 

Song 23 –Encore- Hola, Lola  EVERYONE!!!!

 Song 9 Frankenguest- Vladimir,Igor, Frankie+ Chorus 3

(verse 1)

Come and listen to the story of the strangest of nights

In a far away kingdom called Shaker Heights.
Shelley Mary had a birthday that was coming to pass
And invited all the kids in her primary class.
The kids arrived at sundown with gifts in tow,
and they started off the party with a puppet show.
But just before the curtain came a knock at the door,
You thought all the kids were there but there was still one more!

(Chorus)
FRANKENGUEST!  Open my present
FRANKENGUEST!  When do we eat?
FRANKENGUEST!   I hate puppets!
He was a FRANKENGUEST! 

(verse 2)

The party went on and Frank was in top form.
When they served the applesauce, he said: I want mine warm!
When the hog dogs arrived, he said: A hamburger, please,
and I only eat my burgers with Limburger cheese!

 And he should ‘round the table: I’m a waterfall! And he spouted Cherry Kool-Aid over one and all. When the ice cream was scooped and they brought out the cake he said:

I need the biggest piece. Plus one for my pet snake..

 (Chorus)

FRANKENGUEST!   (scream)
FRANKENGUEST!  Stop it! Yo’re scaring him!
FRANKENGUEST!   He can swallow a guinea pig whole!
He was a FRANKENGUEST! 

 Bridge

What’s the thing that makes him so offensive? See food! Blaaah!
What gives him that j’nais sais quoi? That means “I don’t know!”
Is it ‘cause the way he’s raised or is this just a phase?
I don’t know! I don’t know! I don’t know! Let’s ask his Ma!_________

 Frank was always a rambunctious child. A nice boy, I should mention.

Please don’t be mad, he’s really not so bad. He just likes lots of attention.

 (verse 3)

So if you’ve got a friend like Frankie, just take my advice. (Oo__ oo- ah-oo-ga-oo-ga )4X
I’ve got a little cure that you won’t need twice.
Of you pay him no attention when he acts like a jerk,
he will find that being monstrous doesn’t work!
And he’ll learn before long the attention he craves will be his to enjoy if he just behaves!

 (Chorus)

FRANKENGUEST!  Where’d everybody go?
FRANKENGUEST!  Hide and seek?
FRANKENGUEST!   No gift bag?
He was a FRANKENGUEST! 
Don’t___ be a Frank__ en___ guest________!
