Lyrics

Verse 1:

Both:          

So when we stop (beat) and take a minute

We see all the good things we’re given

They’re in our school, they’re in our homes

They make us happy, down to our bones

 

Male:           

You see I’m thankful for my family

And the warm home where I live

Female:       

I’m grateful for my grandparents

And the presents that they give

Male:

I really love my garden

With the plants all in a row

Female:

I’m thankful for the sun and rain

That helps them to grow

Both:           And when you realise you’re happy for the things you have

 

Chorus:

Both:          

There’s a warm and fuzzy feeling that takes over you

It’s a feelin’ you’ll want forever

You can share it with your friend

And now they’re smiling too

So let’s smile, smile, smile together

 

When you’re thankful, you are happy

And you feel as light as a feather

Your toes get tappy,

Your hands get clappy

So let’s smile, smile, smile together

 

Verse 2:

Male:

It’s how you think and how you feel

Thanking others can mean a great deal

Female:

Please say thanks and don’t be rude

You can choose an attitude of gratitude

Male:

Y’see I really love my guitar

I can play it when I sing

An’ I’m grateful for the music

That always gets me dancing

Female:       

I really love my sports team

When we play basketball

I’m thankful for my teammates

And our coach is really tall

Both:           And when you realise you’re happy for the things you have

 

Chorus:

Both:          

There’s a warm and fuzzy feeling that takes over you

It’s a feelin’ you’ll want forever

You can share it with your friend and now they’re smiling too

So let’s smile, smile, smile together

 

When you’re thankful, you are happy

And you feel as light as a feather

Your toes get tappy, your hands get clappy

So let’s smile, smile, smile together

 

Bridge:

Male:            Some days are hard and less worthwhile

Female:        Hey, don’t give up

Male:            You’ve gotta look harder for the things that make you smile

Female:        It’s not a bad thing if you feel sad

Male:            Just re-mem-ber

Female:        Use it to discover all the

Both:           Things that make you glad

 

Female:        (spoken)  I know what makes me glad.  Do you know what makes you glad?

Male:            (spoken)  Yeah I do.  There are so many things that I’m thankful for.

Female:        (spoken)  Yeah like what?

 

Rap:

Male:            Coffee in the mornings

Female:       Playlist on my phone

Male:            Friends all around me

Female:       Family at home

Male:            A soothing breeze

Female:       Footy with my friends

Male:            Sunshine and moonlight

Both:            Pizza on the weekends

Male:            A warm bed

Female:       Swimming pools

Male:            A healthy body

Female:       Books are cool

Both:            Performing in some awesome schools!

(Mic drop)

 

Female:        (spoken)  Shall we teach them the dance moves?

Male:            (spoken)  I reckon we definitely should.

Female:        Okay everybody.  Copy me…

 

Chorus:

Both:          

When you’re thankful, you are happy

And you feel as light as a feather

Your toes get tappy, your hands get clappy

So let’s smile, smile, smile together

 

When you’re thankful, you are happy

And you feel as light as a feather

Your toes get tappy, your hands get clappy

So let’s smile, smile, smile together

 

So let’s smile, smile, smile together
