We All Have Gifts

Kids in the Crankin’ Out the Hits with Jon Gailmor 

We can blow on the oboe, bow a violin,

Beat on a bass drum, listen to the din

Finger a saxophone, plunk a pink guitar

How about a sousaphone, that’s who we are!

Chorus:

We all have gifts, even lemurs do

Hanging from banana trees, you can, too!

We study mitochondria, we use a microscope

Find a famous fossil, climb an algebraic slope

Discover Mayan temples, invade a secret tomb

Mix a vat of chemicals, create a smelly fume.

Chorus

We can put our words on paper in Italian or in Greek

Act in a performance with a thousand lines to speak

A limerick or a Haiku is a talent that we own

The gifts we all possess never can be cloned.

Chorus
