Choir Songs




This Old Man

Frere Jacques


Give Me A Break. This was the one closest to the lyrics that we are using.  Have fun!

Vive L'Amour. A piano version only. Lyrics are:

1. Let every good fellow now join in a song, vive la compagnie.  Success to each other and pass it along, vive la compagnie.

Chorus. 
Vive la, vive la, vive l'amour
Vive la, vive la, vive l'amour
Vive L'amour, vive L'amour
Vive la compagnie

2. A friend on the left and a friend on the right, Vive la compagnie.  In love and good fellowship let us unite. Vive la compagnie.   (go back to chorus)

We also sing, Solfege Round, that I cannot find anywhere on the internet!  If you remember how to sing it, you can sing it on your own.  Here I am singing it for you.

Solfege Round

Leave the World A Little Bit Better. by Charlotte Diamond

Chorus in English
Leave the world just a little bit kinder,
A little kinder than it was,
Leave the world just a little bit kinder,
A little kinder than you found it
When the sun came up.

Verse 1
I'm only one and we are two,
But there are others like me and you,
Step by step and hand in hand,
We can spread music through our land.

Chorus in French (mme Ireland singing in French)
Pour que le monde soit plus beau, un p'tit' peu plus beau qu'hier.
Pour que le monde soit plus beau,
un peu plus beau qu'il ne l'e tait hier
au le ver du soleil.

Verse 2
If I smile at you and you smile too, 
Soon there'll be others like me and you,
Let's send music around the world,
To every boy and girl.

Chorus in French 
Pour que le monde soit plus beau, un p'tit'peu plus beau qu'hier.
Pour que le monde soit plus beau,
un peu plus beau qu'il ne l'e tait hier
au le ver du soleil.  (At end, repeat this line 3x)
