Springhill Elementary School - 4 R's Song

Bruce Wodhams, former principal at Springhill Elementary School in Lafayette CA with an original song: "The Four R's".

Full lyrics:

D
Now, the kids at Springhill know their stuff,
A7
When it comes to learning they can't get enough;
D G
They know the 3 Rs, they never miss a trick,
D A7 D
Reading, writing and arithmetic.

But there's more to education, I'm here to say,
If this old world's where we're gonna' stay;
Now, we've got the spirit and we've got the nerve,
And there's four more Rs in the learning curve.

D A7 D G
We've got to . . . reduce, re-use, recycle and rot . . . D A7
Keep on practicing the 4 Rs to preserve the planet
D
we've got.

Don't count on others or the government
When it comes to saving the environment;
Cuz' it's up to you and it's up to me
To each do our part individually.

We've got to . . . reduce, re-use, recycle and rot . . .
Keep on practicing the 4 Rs to preserve the planet we've got.

Brothers and sisters, sing along with me,
We're only given one opportunity;
Daddy, it's time to show our worth,
Cuz' we're only given one Mother Earth.

We've got to . . . reduce, re-use, recycle and rot . . .
Keep on practicing the 4 Rs to preserve the planet we've got.

Learn to cut back on what you use,
Use it once more and you'll never lose;
Have it come around again so it doesn't look the same,
Put it back in the earth from where it came.

We've got to . . . reduce, re-use, recycle and rot . . .
Keep on practicing the 4 Rs to preserve the planet we've got.
