You build a house with lego bricks But it falls apart You made it too skinny and tall You can learn from your mistake Start one with a wider base This time it may not fall Try try again! Try try again! Don't be a chicken just because it's difficult Try try again! Try try again! Believe in yourself for the win If you want to make a dive But you climb back down You're scared that it seems so high Tomorrow is another chance Get back on the diving board This time you just might fly Try try again! Try try again! Don't be a chicken just because it's difficult Try try again! Try try again! Believe in yourself for the win You try to play piano But every note is wrong Your music doesn't go with the flow Practice makes you better You start from the top Soon you'll be putting on a show How many failures will you need? Keep on trying until you succeed! Try try again! Try try again! Don't be a chicken just because it's difficult Try try again! Try try again! Believe in yourself for the win Believe in yourself for the win

We don't ever have to learn alone Reading in a group or on our own Our reading buddies help us get it done So we can meet the challenge every one We work on our math facts every day We can help each other find the way Computers help us do our extra math We're moving farther up the learning path We're up to the challenge, the Truman Challenge We're up to the challenge, the Truman Challenge We're up to the challenge, the Truman Challenge We're up to the challenge, the Truman Challenge It's good to learn and get our lessons done Field trips can be lots and lots of fun Ms. Eselin puts her Elvis costume on When we raise money with the jogathon We always try to do the things we should We get longer recess when we're good We show respect and leave an awesome mark Because we know just how to show our SPARK We're up to the challenge, the Truman Challenge We're up to the challenge, the Truman Challenge We're up to the challenge, the Truman Challenge We're up to the challenge, the Truman Challenge We're up to the challenge, the Truman Challenge We're up to the challenge, the Truman Challenge Yeah!

I like dogs and you like cats I like shoes and you like hats I like red and you like blue You like me and I like you You tell jokes and get funny looks You like sports and I like books I like the night and you like the day You can be different, that's okay Jibber Jabber Joo You Are You Jibber Jabber Joo You Are You Jibber Jabber Joo You Are You And that's just how you do I like salad but you like steak You like to grill but I like to bake you like tacos I like burritos you like cheetos I like doritos You might wear glasses to help you see You might be smarter and stronger than me You might have freckles you might be tall That's okay because I like it all (sing along) Jibber Jabber Joo You Are You Jibber Jabber Joo You Are You Jibber Jabber Joo You Are You And that's just how you do You are special in your own way (slow) You should be proud that you can say Jibber Jabber Joo You Are You Jibber Jabber Joo You Are You Jibber Jabber Joo You Are You And that's just how you do (slow) And that's just how you do Oh, yeah!

about

These songs were written with 2nd grade students in May 2015 in Norman, OK, during a songwriting residency funded by the Oklahoma Arts Council and the Norman Artists in the Schools program.

Our writing theme was "advice you would give your younger self."
