Welcome New Kid Lyrics
– Voiced by the characters Teacher, Lily, Zac, Tien, Melek from Hijabi Girl: A Musical Puppet Show
TEACHER:
Good morning I’m the teacher
I’m patient, I’m kind
Listening! I’m the teacher
I’ll help you grow your mind
I come to school each day
With lessons for you all
It’s important to work hard
But we also have a ball!
LILY:
Hey all I am Lily
I like to make new friends
Welcome! I am Lily
I follow all the trends
I love pink and glitter
Plus unicorns and dance
I dress up like a princess
Whenever I have a chance
ZAC:
Hey my name is Zac
I’m good at everything
Whatever! I am Zac
In soccer I’m the king.
Teasing kids is sometimes fun
But I’m not really mean
My pet rat thinks I’m funny
Others aren’t so keen
MELEK:
Oh Zac. You know you’re not allowed to have that rat in the classroom. Everyone knows who I am already, but we have someone new starting today. Her name is Tien. You say it like ‘a cup of tea’. Tea-en. Make sure you say it right!
TIEN:
Hi my name is Tien
I mostly like to draw
Hello! I’m Tien. I’m new!
I just came through the door
I think pictures tell a story
Faster than words do
When you get to know me
I’ll be a good friend too
TEACHER, ZAC, LILY, TIEN & MELEK:
Welcome Welcome to the school!
Welcome to the school!
Welcome Welcome to the school!
Welcome to the school!
