The Wall of Fame (ame)
(Tune: BINGO)
There is a paper called “No Name,”
Does your writing look the same?
Oh, dear, what a shame!
Poor paper has no name.
Hang it on the wall of fame,
this special paper with no name. We’ll let you know just who we are
so we can get a shiny star.
Don’t leave a no name
hanging on the wall of fame.
Oh, dear, what a shame
to be a paper called, “No Name!”
Rock! Paper! Scissors! (ame)
(Tune: Oh, Susanna!)
“Rock, Paper, Scissors” is a game,
a game with a funny name!
Some people lose, oh, what a shame,
but no one is to blame!
Rock! Paper! Scissors!
That’s the game for me!
Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose,
but it’s still a game we choose!
