CAR-EM-SAN


(Carolyn, Emily, Sandra Tune – Alouetta, 5 verses)

1. Car-o-lyn you give us lots of pleas-ure
You are al-ways sweet, smart, strong and sure
Sweet, smart, strong and sure you say?
Yes sir-ee! And day-by-day.
Day-by-day? That’s what we say
Sweet and smart? As a “dart”. A h h h

2. E-mi-ly you’re real-ly quite a book-worm
Bet-ter ti-tle would be “book PY-THON”
Gob-bling up the books so fast,
Vo-ca-bu-la-ry, its VAST!
Gob-bling fast, speaking vast,
WRI-TER, your die is cast. A h h

3. San-dra you were born to be in-ven-tor
Like your great great grand-mo-ther be-fore.
PIL-ing, PULL-ing, PUSH-ing things
‘ma-gi-na-tion, it has wings.
Ed-i-son, Gra-ham Bell
Sank-dra’ll do, just as well. A h h h

4. CAR-EM-SAN you tra-veled West Af-ri-que (‘ku’)
Es-ca-pades were tru-ly MAG-NI-FIQUE! (‘feek’)
Es-ca-pades were mag-ni-fique?
Yes, and tense, and ra-ther “queek”.
Mag-ni-fuque, tense and “queek”
You sure have lots of “CHIC”! A h h (‘sheek’)

5. CAR-EM-SAN we love you with great pri-de
No self-pi-ty e-ver on your side.
CAR-LYN coach-ing stu-dent boy
EM-‘LY play-ing “Ode To Joy”
SAN-DRA spells pho-ne-tique (‘teekk’) 
You three are MAG-NI-FIQUE! A h h
