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!
