Mermaid's song "Sunbeams and Sea"



MERMAIDS:
'Sunbeams and Sea' ( Part One)

Wendy: Look, the mermaids of Never Land! I have to meet them!
Peter: But Wendy, we gotta find Hook!
MERMAIDS:

You can have mermaids’ lovely tresses
You can have scales instead of skin
No need to stand, the sea feels grand!
Slippery smooth from head to fin
Come and join, come and join, come and join us!
Come and swim the never-ending tide.
You can’t know how it feels,
What the sea reveals,When you’re dry upon the other side.
Coral and seaweed ‘stead of dresses.
Shimmery light as fish fly by
Air can feel thin till gills grow in
Then it’s whoosh and the land good-bye

'Sunbeams and Sea' ( Part Two)

Peter: Wait, Wendy, no!
Wendy: Why not?
Andrina: Let us have her for a week below the waves!
Arista: She can tell us stories about you, Peter.
Atina: What's it like to fly with him?
Peter: They'll pull you down and keep you there. They'll forget you need to come up for air!

ARISTA:
You have to take a leap, Jump in the tale you’re telling

MERMAIDS:
Dreams aren’t just for sleep.
Living them’s more compelling.
Peter: Thanks, girls, We can take it from here.
Mermaids: Goodbye, Peter!
Wendy: I have and idea! Come here...

Songs for Grade 3 "Following The Leader"


“FOLLOWING THE LEADER” –

[LOST KIDS]
Following the leader, the leader, the leader,
We’re off on an adventure to capture Indian Scouts.

[MICHAEL] This feels kinda silly

[JOHN]Yeah

[MICHAEL]But I kinda like it.

[JOHN] Yeah!

Just march with us,
Be part of the brotherhood
And as you march
You’re gonna stay young for good.
We march and march
‘cause Lost Boys never grow up.

[CUBBY]Hi! I’m Cubby!
[SKUNK]I’m Skunk!
[FOX] I’m Fox!
[RACCOONS]We’re Raccoons!
[HOP]I’m Hop! 
(SKIPPY) Skippy!

[LOST KIDS]
We’ll be kids forever, forever, forever
We never will abandon our merry little band
We’ll never have to go home,
Do housework or homework.
No one ever grows up,
Not here in Never Land.

[HOP]We’re close to the Indians! Shhhh!

[INDIANS]
Following the Lost Boys, the Lost Boys, the Lost Boys,
Following the Lost Boys, before they can catch us.
The Lost Boys cannot track us, they want to attack us.
We won’t let them attack us and so we track ‘em thus.

[BRAVE PINE]Shh, I think see them!

[BRAVE OAK] I don’t see them!

[BRAVE SHRUB]you mean those animals?

[BRAVE PINE] Those aren’t animals! Those are boys – in camouflage!

[BRAVE OAK, BRAVE SHRUB] Oh…..

We’re on the trial to capture the Indian Scouts.
We’ll capture boys, of that there are no doubts.
The fight, we’ll win and boy,
We’re going to have fun!

The boys’ll be lost when native braves
One by one on stealthy feet,
We spring a trap with no retreat,.
‘cause when the boys can’t run_____ we’ve won!

"Walk The Plank": lyrics and track to practice at home.

“WALK THE PLANK” (GRADE 5 PIRATES)
(Pirates)
If you’re thinking of the future,
And you’d like a life of ease,
If you’d like to make a fortune ‘fore you’re through,
If you’ve ever had a hankering
To sail the seven seas,
Then a pirate’s life is just the life for you.
Yo ho ho! Buccaneering you must go,
If you’d like to make a fortune ‘fore you’re through.
If you’d like a life of pleasure,
Mix in treasure for good measure,
Then a pirate's life is just the life for you!
Hook: (Spoken) Greetings, you dour dollop of doleful dimwits! Because I am a generous Hook, I hereby give you prisoners a choice. Walk the plank... or join our merry pirate crew!
PIRATES:
If you choose to be a pirate it's a choice you won't regret.
You'll have rubies and doubloons to fill the bank.
Be the scourge of all the oceans, yes the choice is up to you.
Bit if you say no, you'll have to walk the plank.
(Pirates)
Yo ho ho! Buccaneering you must go!
So you might as well make up a mind to sign.
If you’d like a share of plunder,
If you care for blood and thunder,
Simply step right up and sign the dotted line!

THE PIRATE CHORUS : Grades 5 and 2

Grade 5 and Grade 2 students will feature as the pirate chorus in "Peter Pan Jr". There are TWO songs they will perform together; "Never Smile at a Crocodile" and "Yo Ho A Pirate's Life for Me".
Please practice the songs. The Lyrics to "Yo Ho A Pirate's Life for Me" are a bit tricky!

"A PIRATE’S LIFE FOR ME" (Grade 2 and 5 Pirates Chorus)
(PIRATES )Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate’s life for me.
We pillage, we plunder, we rifle and loot.
Drink up, me ‘earties, yo ho!
We kidnap and pillage and don’t give a hoot.
Drink up, me ‘earties, yo ho!
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate’s life for me.
We extort, we pilfer, we filch and sack.
Drink up, me ‘earties, yo ho!
Maraud and embezzle and even highjack.
Drink up, me ‘earties, yo ho!
We’re rascals and scoundrels and ne’er do well cads.
Drink up, me ‘earties, yo ho!
Aye, but we’re loved by our Mommies and Dads…
Drink up me ‘earties, yo ho!





NEVER SMILE AT A CROCODILE (Pirate Chorus and Hook)

[CAPTAIN HOOK]
Never smile at a crocodile.
No, you can’t get friendly with a crocodile.
Don’t be taken in by his welcome grin.
He’s imagining how well you’d fit within his skin.
[PIRATES]
Never smile at a crocodile.
Never tip your hat and stop to talk a while.
Never walk, run away.
Say “Goodnight,” not “Good day.”
Clear the aisle and never smile at Missus Crocodile.

CAPTAIN HOOK: And, Mr. Smee, you know the deepest fear that gnaws at me?
SMEE: What fear is that, Cap’n?
CAPTAIN HOOK: Someday the clock will run down and the beast will sneak up on me … and crunch and gnash and pulverize… until there’s nothing left of me at all!

[PIRATES]
Never smile at a crocodile.
Or you might get eaten by the crocodile.
Yes, it’s true, take a look.
Now (HIS) hand is a hook!
Clear the aisle and never smile at Missus Crocodile. BEGONE!!!!
