Contact Mr. Pete:

Star Spangled Banner
Oh, say can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed
at the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars,
thru the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched
were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets red glare,
the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night
that our flag was still there.
O, say, does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

America the Beautiful
O beautiful for spacious skies for amber waves of grain
For purple mountain majesties above the fruited plain!
America! America! God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
from sea to shining sea!

O beautiful for patriot dream that sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam undimmed by human tears!
America! America! God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
from sea to shining sea!

She’ll Be Coming ‘Round the Mountain
She'll be comin' 'round the mountain when she comes
She'll be comin' 'round the mountain when she comes
She'll be comin' 'round the mountain
She'll be comin' 'round the mountain
She'll be comin' 'round the mountain when she comes

Singing aye aye yippee yippee aye
Singing aye aye yippee yippee aye
Singing aye aye yippee- aye aye yippee
Singing aye aye yippee yippee aye

She'll be drivin' six white horses when she comes…

And we'll all go out and meet her when she comes…

We'll be eating chicken and dumplings when she comes…

She will have to sleep with Grandma when she comes…

Rockaway Beach
Chewin’ out a rhythm on my bubble gum,
sun is out and I want some
It’s not hard, not far to reach,
we can hitch a ride to Rockaway Beach

Up on the roof, out in the street,
down on the playground, the hot concrete
Bus ride is too slow,
they blast out the disco on the radio…

Rock, rock, Rockaway Beach,
Rock, rock, Rockaway Beach
Rock, rock, Rockaway Beach,
we can hitch a ride to Rockaway Beach (x2)

It’s not hard, not far to reach,
we can hitch a ride to Rockaway Beach (x2)

(back to verse and chorus)
end with chorus a second time
