Montessori Elementary: A Music Video

Montessori Elementary children present an interpretation of the song "Drill Ye Tarriers". Composed in 1888 by Charles Connolly and Thomas Casey the song is about railroad construction in the mid 19th century.

Montessori believed that worthwhile work was a key element of child development. Hence the video portrays some of the work of the children both inside and outside the classroom.

Thanks for watching and sharing.

Lyrics:
Every morning 'round seven o'clock
There are 20 Tarriers
Working on the rock
And the boss comes round
And he says, "Keep Still"
Bear down heavy on the cast iron drill
Oh Drill ye Tarriers Drill

Chorus:
Drill ye Tarriers Drill
You work all day for the sugar in your tay (tea)
Drill ye Tarriers drill
And blast
And fire

Our new foreman is Tim McCann
And I'm telling you he's a might mean man
One day a premature blast went off
And up in the air shot old Tom Goff
Oh drill ye Tarriers drill

Chorus

The next time when payday came around
Tom Goff a dollar short was found
When he asked what for came this reply
"You was docked for the time, you was up in the sky"
Oh drill ye Tarriers drill

Chorus
