We're going to be friends (Lyrics and video)

by The White Stripes 





Fall is here, hear the yell
back to school, ring the bell
brand new shoes, walking blues
climb the fence, books and pens
I can tell that we're going to be friends
I can tell that we're going to be friends

Walk with me, Suzy Lee
through the park and by the tree
we will rest upon the ground
and look at all the bugs we found
safely walk to school without a sound
safely walk to school without a sound 

Here we are, no one else
we walked to school all by ourselves
there's dirt on our uniforms
from chasing all the ants and worms
we clean up and now it's time to learn
we clean up and now it's time to learn

Numbers, letters, learn to spell
nouns, and books, and show and tell
at playtime we will throw the ball
back to class, through the hall
teacher marks our height against the wall
teacher marks our height against the wall 

And we don't notice any time pass
we don't notice anything
we sit side by side in every class
teacher thinks that I sound funny
but she likes the way you sing

Tonight I'll dream while I'm in bed
when silly thoughts go through my head
about the bugs and alphabet
and when I wake tomorrow I'll bet
that you and I will walk together again
cause I can tell that we're going to be friends 
cause I can tell that we're going to be friends

Grammar mistake in a sports article


Take a look at the headline of this article. 




What's the mistake? 

Can you correct it? 

Adverbs

L-Y

A song about adverbs 



L-Y

You're wearing your squeaky shoes
And right there taking a snooze...is a tiger!
So how do you walk on by?
Silently ... silently ... silent ... L-Y
 
You're a secret agent man
Who's after the secret plan
How do you act so they don't know you're as spy?
Normally, normally, normal L-Y
 
At an eating contest you boast
That you can eat the most
How do you down your fiftieth piece of pie?
Eagerly, eagerly, eager L-Y
 
On the lake your boat upset
And your clothes got soaking wet
How do you stand and wait for them to dry?
D-d-d-d-d patiently, d-d-d-d-d patiently, patient L-Y
 
In the public library
You fall and you hurt your knee
But the sign says, "quiet please," so how can you cry?
Quietly, quietly, quiet L-Y
 
As you walk along the street
A porcupine you meet
How do you shake his hand when he says ‘hi’?
Carefully, carefully, careful L-Y
 
You enter a very dark room
And sitting there in the gloom ... is Dracula! 
Now how do you say ‘goodbye’?
Immediately, immediately, immediate L-Y
Bye, Bye!
