lyrics:
Fall is here, hear the yell
back to school, ring the bell
brand new shoes, walking blues
climb the fence, books and pens
I can tell that we're going to be friends

Walk with me, Suzy Lee
through the park and by the tree
we will rest upon the ground
and look at all the bugs we found
then safely walk to school
without a sound

Well here we are, no one else
we walked to school all by ourselves
there's dirt on our uniforms
from chasing all the ants and worms
we clean up and now its time to learn

Numbers, letters, learn to spell
nouns, and books, and show and tell
at playtime we will throw the ball
back to class, through the hall
teacher marks our height
against the wall

And we don't notice any time pass
we don't notice anything
we sit side by side in every class
teacher thinks that I sound funny
but she likes the way you sing

Tonight I'll dream while I'm in bed
when silly thoughts go through my head
about the bugs and alphabet
and when I wake tomorrow I'll bet
that you and I will walk together again
cause I can tell that we're going to be friends

Wow she spell really fast

[BAKAANIZI]

@vr4jay i'd like to ... i really would ... i tried to take it in high school but the class filled too fast ... problem is classes cost money, which i do not have ...

[vr4jay]

@freakercreeper Not all signs translate to English. There are different signs that mean the same thing. AND all Deaf people sign differently.

[vr4jay]

@BAKAANIZI Please learn ASL properly. Take a class, or enter the Deaf Community...dont just watch videos, because there is a lot to ASL that videos do not show.

[vr4jay]

@loveefreedom Some signs do not translate into English exactly. ASL is tricky to learn. It has its own grammar and everything. Plus they do not use pronouns, and have all types of different things about this language. You cant just learn signs and know everything about the language.

Can you have an accent with ASL?

this is great!

[loveefreedom]

This was a beautiful video. I am attempting to learn ASL, and I think it would be super helpful if there were subtitles.Therefore I would be able to pick up the signs and match them to the words they represent. Overall the video was inspiring. :)

no disrespect because i thought that was really cool but does anyone else think of the happy hands club from napoleon dynamite when you saw this? its the opening song for the movie.
