Introduction

Children are fast learners. By just looking around, their brains are working, and they are learning. By just listening to people converse and watching television, they learn the language. It is not just through listening to conversations and having conversations that a child can learn how to speak English fluently, but he can also learn through singing songs. While singing to the song, children can follow the words in the lyrics as well as enjoy the colorful pictures at the same time. There are a lot of songs that are very educational to children like the ABC song, but learning the alphabet and some numbers is not the only thing that songs can give to your children. It can also help them learn the English language better.

There is no denying the fact that music and English songs for children can help in your child's language development as well as to learn the English language.

One, when they sing English songs, they are already being taught the use of the proper English speech, accent, and intonation which is needed if you want them to speak the language clearly and fluently.

Two, singing along to English songs for children allows them to play with the words, making it a fun way to learn the language. Plus, when they sing English songs, they are given the confidence to participate verbally. In time, they will be confident enough to converse in the English language, having been comfortable singing using the English language in the first place.

Third, singing to English songs for children also helps children to maintain a longer attention span since they have to follow the lyrics to sing English songs. With a longer attention span, their listening skills are also improved.

Fourth and most important is that the English songs for kids teach them already about the English word vocabularies and grammar.

 III. Conclusion

Songs are a very useful way of teaching English to students who have a very limited vocabulary. The rhythm and beat of a beat are universal and the lyrics very often are rhyming which make English easier to learn. The lyrics below are of songs that I have used in teaching children to learn English. Some are pop songs. Others are traditional songs. All have enabled students to use English more effectively.

▪ Reinforce grammatical structures.
     ▪ Embed new vocabulary.
     ▪ Teach natural (Australian and U.K.) pronunciation efficiently.
     ▪ Cause learners to apply listening, speaking, reading and writing skills for different functional songs.
     ▪ Activate subconscious long term memory in learners.
     ▪ Drill rhythm and structure.
     ▪ Enhance grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation and more.
     ▪ Make learning English fun for learners. They create a relaxed atmosphere and get learners motivated with enthusiasm for learning.

Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride

Aloha e aloha e
'Ano 'ai ke aloha e
Aloha ae aloha e
A nu ay ki aloha e

There’s no place I’d rather be
Then on my surfboard out at sea
Lingering in the ocean blue
And If I had one wish come true
I’d surf till the sun sets
Beyond the horizon

A wiki wiki mai lohi lohi
Lawe mai i ko papa he'e nalu
Flyin by on the Hawaiian roller coaster ride

A wiki wiki mai lohi lohi
La we mai iko papa he na lu
Pi'i na nalu la lahalaha
O ka moana hanupanupa
Lalala i kala hanahana
Me ke kai hoene i ka pu'e one
Helehele mai kakou e
Hawaiian roller coaster ride

There’s no place I’d rather be
Than on the seashore dry, wet free
On golden sand is where I lay
And if I only had my way
I'd play til the sun sets
Beyond the horizon

Lalala i kala hanahana
Me ke kai hoene i ka pu'e one
It’s time to try the Hawaiian Roller coaster ride

Hang loose, hang ten, howzit, shake a shaka
No worry, no fear, ain't no biggie braddah
Cuttin' in, cuttin' up, cuttin' back, cuttin' out
Frontside, backside, goofy footed, wipe out

Looking for the wipeout
Let's get jumpin', surf's up and pumpin'
Coastin' with the motion of the ocean
Whirlpools swirling, cascading, twirling

My Computer Mouse.

I’ve got a mouse
I play with every day
He runs across the mat
And his tail is long and grey
He doesn’t like cheese
He likes playing games
He’s not afraid of cats
He hasn’t got a name

He’s my computer mouse
He’s my double click, single click
Run around the mat computer mouse
Left click, right click, double click. OK!

I’ve got a keyboard
I use it every day
He’s got a lot of letters
We’ve got a lot to say
We write a lot of emails
‘Cause we’ve got lots of friends
When we’ve written them
I ask my mouse to click on send

He’s my computer mouse
He’s my double click, single click
Run around the mat computer mouse
Left click, right click, double click. OK!
He clicks on my screen

Appendix

I turn my speakers on
He opens up the programmes
On my CD Rom
Then we turn up the sound
And we turn off the lights
And we play lots of games
And chat with friends all night.

Don't Worry Be Happy

Bobby McFerrin

Here's a little song I wrote
You might want to sing it note-for-note
Don't worry, be happy
In every life we have some trouble
But when you worry, you make it double
Don't worry, be happy Don't worry, be happy now

Ooo-oo-hoo-hoo-oo hoo-hoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo Don't worry
Woo-oo-woo-oo-woo-oo-ooo Be happy
Woo-oo-oo-oo-ooo Don't worry, be happy

Ooo-oo-hoo-hoo-oo hoo-hoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo Don't worry
Woo-oo-woo-oo-oo-oo-ooo Be happy
Woo-oo-woo-oo-ooo Don't worry, be happy

Ain't got no place to lay your head
Somebody came and took your bed
Don't worry, be happy
The landlord say your rent is late
He may have to litigate
Don't worry, (ha-ha ha-ha ha-ha) be happy (look at me, I'm happy)

Ooo-oo-hoo-hoo-oo oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo Don't worry
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo Be happy
Oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo (Here, I'll give you my phone number. When you're
worried, call me. I'll make you happy.)
Ooo-oo-hoo-hoo-oo oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo Don't worry
Woo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo Be happy
Woo-oo-oo-oo-ooo

Ain't got no cash, ain't got no style
Ain't got no gal to make you smile
But don't worry, be happy
'Cause when you're worried, your face will frown
And that will bring everybody down
So don't worry, be happy Don't worry, be happy now

Ooo-oo-oo-oo-oo oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo Don't worry
Woo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo Be happy

Appendix

Woo-oo-oo-oo-ooo Don't worry, be happy  - 2              

Now there, is this song I wrote
I hope you learned it note-for-note, like good little children
Don't worry, be happy
A-listen to a-what I say
In your life, expect some trouble
When you worry you make it double
Don't worry, be happy, be happy now


Ooo-oo-hoo-oo-oo oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo Don't worry
Woo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo Be happy
Woo-oo-oo-oo-ooo Don't worry, be happy   -  2

Ooo-oo-hoo-oo-oo oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo Don't worry, don't worry
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo Don't do it, be happy
Oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo Put a smile on your face
Don't bring everybody down like
this
Ooo-oo-hoo-hoo-oo oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo Don't worry
Ooo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo It will soon pass, whatever it  is
Ooo-oo-oo-oo-ooo Don't worry, be happy

(fading...)
Ooo-oo-hoo-hoo-oo oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo I'm not worried
Ooo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo I'm happy
Ooo-oo-oo-oo-ooo

Under the sea.

The seaweed is always greener
In somebody else's lake
You dream about going up there
But that is a big mistake
Just look at the world around you
Right here on the ocean floor
Such wonderful things surround you
What more is you lookin' for?

Under the sea
Under the sea
Darling it's better
Down where it's wetter
Take it from me
Up on the shore they work all day
Out in the sun they slave away
While we devotin'
Full time to floatin'

Appendix

Under the sea

Down here all the fish is happy
As off through the waves they roll
The fish on the land ain't happy
They sad 'cause they in their bowl
But fish in the bowl is lucky
They in for a worser fate
One day when the boss get hungry
Guess who's gon' be on the plate

Under the sea
Under the sea
Nobody beat us
Fry us and eat us
In fricassee
We what the land folks loves to cook
Under the sea we off the hook
We got no troubles
Life is the bubbles
Under the sea
Under the sea
Since life is sweet here
We got the beat here
Naturally
Even the sturgeon an' the ray
They get the urge 'n' start to play
We got the spirit
You got to hear it
Under the sea

The newt play the flute
The carp play the harp
The plaice play the bass
And they soundin' sharp
The bass play the brass
The chub play the tub
The fluke is the duke of soul
(Yeah)
The ray he can play
The lings on the strings
The trout rockin' out
The blackfish she sings
The smelt and the sprat

They know where it's at
An' oh that blowfish blow

Under the sea
Under the sea
When the sardine.

Chihuahua

Chihuahua!...

Oh, Chihuahua!

I'm walking in the street

And the moon shine's bright

A little melody keeps feeling on my mind tonight

I gotcha! It's the song about Chihuahua

Yeah, that's cool alright Chihuahua

It was fun

And a life without sorrow

Feels young

And when you think about tomorrow

Say yo!

When you're about to freak out

Just go and then shout it out loud

Chihuahua here

Chihuahua there

Everybody wants it everywhere

Sing it loud

And life can be so easy Chihuahua

What can make you move Chihuahua

Can you feel the groove Chihuahua

What can make you dance Chihuahua

Oh Chihuahua! Chihuahua

What can make you sing Chihuahua

Take it and you win Chihuahua

What can bring you joy Chihuahua

Oh Chihuahua!

I'm driving in my car

Looking for a parking space

There it is my place someone else wins the race

No, I give up today is not my day

But then I take a deep breathe and say:

Calm down

When you're about to go crazy

Turn around

And feel as fresh as a daisy

Just run

Because it's time to go

Have fun and let the whole world know

Chihuahua

Smile, Smile, Smile

Wendy Wiseman and Sari Dajani

I woke up this morning
Feeling like the colour of my jeans
Outside the sky was cloudy
And the wind was ahowling mean
I hid under my covers
Didn't want to get out of bed
And then I thought of something
Better to do instead

(chorus)

Smile, smile, smile

And the world will smile with you

Smile, smile, smile

And you'll'no longer feel blue

At the breakfast table

Everybody's looking grim

They were looking sour

I wonder what's wrong with them

I didn't get an answer

Appendix

When I asked them why

And then I thought of something

And told them to give it a try

(chorus)

When you wish upon a star

When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you
If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do
Fate is kind
She brings to those who loves
The sweet fulfillment of
Their secret longing
Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and sees you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dream comes true
If your heart is in your dreams
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
Your dream comes true.
