about

A type of acrostic poem, in song form to teach kids about the art of co-operating. This song is voices and percussion only, with a sung bassline - so teach kids about singing without accompaniment at the same time!

lyrics

C*O*O*P*E*R*A*T*I*O*N
CHORUS
C*O*O*P*E*R*A*T*I*O*N Cooperation, cooperation
C*O*O*P*E*R*A*T*I*O*N Cooperation, cooperation

‘C’ for the courage it takes to ask someone to help you out
‘O’ for taking it off your shoulders and spreading the load about
‘O’ for the opportunity of working with others too
‘P’ for the part each person plays in seeing the project through
CHORUS
‘E’ for excitement and enthusiasm when the job is getting done
‘R’ is when you realise it might be better with more than one
‘A’ for all your friends and allies also pitching in
‘T’ for talking through the tasks before you each begin
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK
CHORUS
‘I’ for individuals with ideas and information
‘O’ for being organised enough to run the operation
‘N’ for nothing left to say except it’s nifty and it’s neat
Working together and helping each other well it’s really kind of sweet
CHORUS
