Skin Is Just on the
Outside
to the tune
of "The Bear Went Over the Mountain"
Our skin is just on the outside,
Our skin is just on the outside,
Our skin
is just on the outside,
Our character's within.
And character's what
counts.
Oh, character's what counts.
Our skin is just on the
outside.
Our character's within.
{shouted} And character's what
counts!
Traffic Light
Red light,
Green light,
Oh, so bright --
Who
invented
the traffic light?
{shout} Garret

We Are Much the Same
to
the tune of "Skip to My Lou"
You may have light skin,
I may have dark;
You may have long hair,
I may have short;
You may have blue eyes,
I may have brown:
It really doesn't matter.
(Spoken) Why?
'Cause underneath our skin, we're much the same,
Underneath our skin, we're much the same.
Underneath our skin, we're much the same.
And that's what really matters.
When we're hungry, we both want to eat.
When we're thirsty, we both want a drink.
When we're tired, we both want a bed.
We are much the same.
When we're happy, we both smile.
When we're sad, we both cry.
When we're scared, we both want a friend.
We are much the same.
Working Together
to
the tune of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star"
Working together across our land,
Working together hand in hand,
Working
together black and white,
Working together with all our might,
Working
together -- you and me,
We
make our world a better place to be.
