In January 2006 I put out a "Monty Harper Songcast" episode including these two songs from recent school workshops.

When Our Principal Kisses the Pig - song lyric
by Monty Harper with 2nd and 3rd grade students at Will Rogers Elementary in Burns Flat, OK, January 2006

When our principal kisses the pig
The pig will put up a fight
She'll mess up the place
Put mud on his face
She'll squeal and kick and bite

When our principal kisses the pig
He'll have to pinch his nose
It'll make him ill
He'll need a pill
It'll make him curl his toes

We're reading, we're reading
New books every day
And if you wonder why
We work so hard this way
It's because our reading goal is very big
And when we're done our principal will kiss a pig!

When our principal kisses the pig
We'll laugh and run around
We'll sing this song
All year long
We'll make a happy sound

We're reading, we're reading
New books every day
And if you wonder why
We work so hard this way
It's because our reading goal is very big
And when we're done our principal will kiss a pig!
When we're done our principal will kiss a pig!


Old Pink Dinosaur - song lyric
by Monty Harper with 4th-6th grade students at Elmore City Pernell Elementary

Well I'm an old pink dinosaur
Lying on the bed
I'm buried in a pile of junk that's headed for the shed
Yeah, no one wants me anymore
I may as well be dead

I'm just an old pink dinosaur
My name is Beebee Gazee
You know, the little girl who named me that
She used to play with me
Now suddenly I'm nothing more than a piece of debris
