He rocks in the tree tops all day long
Hoppin' and a-boppin' and singing his song
All the little birdies on Jaybird Street
Love to hear the robin go tweet, tweet, tweet
Rockin' robin, rock, rock
Rockin' robin'
Blow rockin' robin
'Cause we're really gonna rock tonight
Every little swallow, every chick-a-dee
Every little bird in the tall oak tree
The wise old owl, the big black crow
Flappin' their wings singing go bird go
Rockin' robin, rock, rock
Rockin' robin'
Blow rockin' robin
'Cause we're really gonna rock tonight
Pretty little raven at the bird-band stand
Told them how to do the bop and it was grand
They started going steady and bless my soul
He out-bopped the buzzard and the oriole
He rocks in the tree tops all day long
Hoppin' and a-boppin' and singing his song
All the little birdies on Jaybird Street
Love to hear the robin go tweet, tweet, tweet
Rockin' robin, rock, rock
Rockin' robin'
Blow rockin' robin
'Cause we're really gonna rock tonight
Pretty little raven at the bird-band stand
Told them how to do the bop and it was grand
They started going steady and bless my soul
He out-bopped the buzzard and the oriole
He rocks in the tree tops all day long
Hoppin' and a-boppin' and singing his song
All the little birdies on Jaybird Street
Love to hear the robin go tweet, tweet, tweet
Rockin' robin, rock, rock
Rockin' robin'
Blow rockin' robin
'Cause we're really gonna rock tonight
Michael Jackson:Got To Be There

Got to be there, got to be there
In the morning
When she says hello to the world
Got to be there, got to be there
Bring her good times
And show her that she's my girl
Oh what a feeling there'll be
The moment I know she loves me
'Cause when I look in her eyes I realize
I need her sharing her world beside me
So I've got to be there
Got to be there in the morning
And welcome her into my world
And show her that she is my girl
When she says, "Hello world!"
I need her sharing the world beside me
That's why I've got to be there
Got to be there where love begins
And that's everywhere she goes
I've got to be there so she knows
That when she's with me, she's home
Got to be there
Got to be there

Spoken Intro
Maybe you and I can't do great things
We may not change the world in one day
But we still can change some things today
In our small way
1st Verse
Empty words are not enough
Where there's hurt, we'll be a crutch
When there's thirst, we'll fill each other's cup
Because we care, we love enough to share
Chorus
Maybe you and I can't do great things
We may not change the world in one day
But we still can change some things today
In our small way
2nd Verse
In despair we'll be the hope
And the prayer that frees the soul
We'll be there to share each lonely road
Because we love, I know we care enough
Chorus
Maybe you and I can't do great things
We may not change the world in one day
But we still can change some things today
In our small way
Bridge
Just a little time is all it takes
What a difference just a smile can make you'll see
Love is all we need
Chorus
Maybe you and I can't do great things
We may not change the world in one day
But we still can change some things today
In our small way
Written and Composed by Beatrice Verdi and Christine Yarian
