Prizegiving Songs

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer

Rudolph the red nosed reindeer (Reindeer)
Had a very shiny nose
(Like a lollipop)
And if you ever saw it
(Saw it)
You would even say it glows
(Like a lightbulb)
All of the other reindeer
(Reindeer)
Used to laugh and call him names
(Like Pinocchio)
They never let poor Rudolph
(Rudolph)
Join in any reindeer games
(Like Monopoly)

Then one foggy Christmas eve
Santa came to say
(Ho ho ho)
Rudolph with your nose so bright
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight
Then all the reindeer loved him
(Loved him)
As the shouted out with glee
(Yipee)
Rudolph the red nosed reindeer
(Reindeer)
You'll go down in history
(DO NOT SAY LIKE COLUMBUS!!!)


Not So Boring Minuet

We are supposed to sing this song We hope it doesn't last too long
If you find it boring
Please refrain from snoring
Remember that it's culture

Culture is something good for you
Like liver spinach and beets too
So while we are screaming
You should not be dreaming
Please stay awake

The reputation for sleep's sensation
An exaggeration we have been told
It's not too bad for a song that's three hundred years old

What's going on?
Did someone yawn?
Has the whole row begun to doze?
Please be nice to songs classic'lly composed

We hope that you have learnt a bit
Classics are for the fun of it
If you found it boring
Thank you for not snoring
Now it's time to quit.


Pohutakawa Tribute

'Twas in Bethlehem that the Christ had birth
That the shepherds learned of God's gift to Earth
There in rosy dawn angels sang his worth
And the glory shone all bright around
Heav'nly glory shone around.

Full three thousand leagues from the manger bed
A New Zealand tree decked itself in red
"'Tis to honour Him I do this," it said
And the glory shone all bright around
Crimson glory shone around.

Called Pohutukawa, it's Maori name
Still at every Christmas it does the same
So that cliff and headland are all aflame
And the glory shines all bright around
Crimson glory shines around.

Thus New Zealand knows when it's Christmastide
By the beauty splashed o'er the country side.
May Pohutukawa long flourish wide
And the glory shine all bright around
Crimson glory shine around.

Mihi Mai

Mihi mai raa aku rangatira e
Mihi mai ki runga raa
I te harakoa o te kaupapa e
He taonga ngaa taatou katoa
Meinga teenei hei tuuhonohono e
Hi tikanga pai naa te aroha e auee
Ka poua te manawa
Whiti rere tonu ake
Naa te rangimaarie
Te rangimaarie
Te rangimaarie
Naa te rangimaarie

Count On Me

If you ever find yourself stuck in the middle of the sea
I'll sail the world to find you
If you ever find yourself lost in the dark and you can't see
I'll be the light to guide you

Find out what we're made of
What we are called to help our friends in need

You can count on me like one, two, three
I'll be there and I know when I need it
I can count on you like four, three, two
And you'll be there 'cause that's what friends
Are supposed to do , oh yeah, ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah

If you toss and you turn and you just can't fall asleep
I'll sing a song beside you
And if you ever forget how much you really mean to me
Eveyday I will remind you

Find out what we're made of
What we are called to help our friends in need

You can count on me like one, two, three
I'll be there and I know when I need it
I can count on you like four, three, two
And you'll be there 'cause that's what friends
Are supposed to do, oh yeah, ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah

You'll always have my shoulder when you cry
I'll never let go, never say goodbye

You can count on me like one, two, three
I'll be there and I know when I need it
I can count on you like four, three, two
And you'll be there 'cause that's what friends
Are supposed to do, oh yeah, ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah

You can count on me 'cause I can count on you.

Seekers Medley

Seekers Medley
Close the door, light the light,
Were staying home to night,
Far away from the bustle and the bright city lights.
Let them all fade away just leave us alone
And well live in a world of our own.
Well build a world of our own ,
That no one else can share.
All our sorrows well leave far behind us there,
And I know you will find,
Therell be peace of mind,
When we live in a world of our own.

 
Hey there, Georgy girl,
Swingin down the street so fancy free,
Nobody you meet could ever see the loneliness there
Inside you
Hey there, Georgy girl,
Why do all the boys just pass you by?
Could it be you just dont try, or is the clothes you wear?
Youre always window shopping but never stopping to buy
So shed those dowdy feathers and fly a little bit
Hey there, Georgy girl
Theres another Georgy deep inside
Bring out all the love you hide and oh, what a change thered be
The world would see a new Georgy girl.

Oh some day one day
Time will be so far away
We can share the dreams we planned
Oh some day
Ooh ooh
Hey there look in the mirror
Tell me what you see before you
I see someone to be proud of I see someone that I love
Oh some day one day
Time will be so far away
We can share the dreams we planned
Oh some day
Oh some day
Oh some day one day.
