Yellow, black, and white, and brown,

You see them all around.

To make the world go round.

Now you be you

And I'll be me.

That's the way we were meant to be.                    G                           F#m

But the world is a mixing cup.

when you stir it up!

Come into the Circle

Liz Buchanan

[Chorus]

​

Come into the circle, cockadoodle, cockadoodle,

Come into the circle, cockadoodle-doo (Repeat)

 

If you’ve got a song, come into the circle

If you’ve got a song, come and sing

If you’ve got a story, come into the circle

If you’ve got a story, come and tell.

If you play the drum, come into the circle

If you play the drum, let’s hear it now!

If you play the fiddle, come into the circle

If you play the fiddle, let’s hear it now!

[Chorus]

​

​

Oh clap your hands, clap them in the circle

Clap your hands, clap clap clap

Now join the band, come into the circle.

Come on down and join the band

And wave your hands, wave them in the circle

Wave your hands and say hello!

Hola! Namaste! Konnichiwa! Jambo!

​

[Chorus]

​

We’re all in the circle cockadoodle, cockadoodle, We’re all in the circle, cockadoodle-doo.

Cockadoodle-doo!
