3rd graders started off their year with a new echo song called "The Littlest Worm." Echo songs are a familiar form of song for our third graders, and they are a great way to help students match pitch and sing with proper vocal placement. This song was a good way to refresh our singing voices after a long summer.
Students enjoyed this silly song about swallowing a worm. See the lyrics below:
The littlest worm (the littlest worm)
I ever saw (I ever saw)
Was stuck inside (was stuck inside)
My soda straw (My soda straw)
The littlest worm I ever saw,
Was stuck inside my soda straw.
He said to me (he said to me)
"Don't take a sip (don't take a sip)
'Cause if you do ('cause if you do)
You'll really flip" (you'll really flip)
He said to me, "Don't take a sip,
'Cause if you do you'll really flip."
I took a sip (I took a sip)
And he went down (and he went down)
Right through my pipes (right through my pipes)
He must have drowned! (he must have drowned)
I took a sip and he went down,
Right through my pipes he must have drowned!
And now he's gone (and now he's gone)
This is the end (this is the end)
He was my pal (he was my pal)
He was my friend (he was my friend)
And now he's gone, this is the end,
He was my pal, he was my friend.
