Four Busy Firefighters
Four busy firefighters could not retire
Because they might have to put out a fire.
The first one rang a big brass bell.
The second one said, 'It's the Grand Hotel!'
The third one said, 'Down the pole we'll slide.'
The fourth one said, 'Get ready to ride.'
The siren said, 'Get out of the way!'
'We have to put out a fire today!'
The red fire truck sped on to the fire,
As the big yellow flames grew higher and higher.
Swish went the water from the fire-hose spout
And in no time at all the fire was out.

Letter Carrier
Letter carriers haul a very full pack
Of letters and packages upon their back.
Step, step, Now ring, ring, ring!
Oh what surprises they will bring.

Construction Worker Song
This is the way we pound our nails,
pound our nails, pound our nails,
This is the way we pound our nails, so early in the morning.
This is the way we saw our wood,
Saw our wood, saw our wood.
This is the way we saw our wood, so early in the morning.
This is the way we use a screwdriver,
use a screwdriver, use a screwdriver,
This is the way we use a screwdriver, so early in the morning.
This is the way we drill a hole,
drill a hole, drill a hole,
This is the way we drill a hole, so early in the morning.

Addition Verses: Saw The Wood/ Turn the Screw/ Stack the Bricks/ Paint the walls/ Stir the paint

Construction Song  
(sung to "The Farmer in the Dell" )
The backhoe scoops the dirt.
The backhoe scoops the dirt.
Hey-ho! Look at it go!
The backhoe scoops the dirt.
Each time the song is repeated, replace the line with one of the following:
The dozer moves the dirt.
The loader dumps the dirt.
The dump truck bumps away.
The cement mixer spins.
The crane moves up and down.

YOU'RE ALWAYS IN CHARGE OF YOU

You're the master of your fate and the
captain of your soul. While your character
is formed by circumstances, your own
desires can do much to shape those
circumstances. Thus, you have the power
over the formation of your own character.
Nature is always at work around you. Your
character and destiny are her handiwork.
She gives you love and hate, jealousy and
reverence. You have the power to choose
which impulse you will follow. You can at
any time decide to alter the course of your
life. No one can EVER take that away from
you. The greatest power you possess is
the power to choose. You're the master of
your joys and your sorrows.
