Starting a New School Year – Lyrics

Chorus
I’ve got my brand new pens
And a pencil case,
I’ve cleaned my teeth
And I’ve washed my face,
I’ve got my shiny shoes
And some new school gear,
We’re starting a new school year.

Verse 1
New skills to learn,
New things to make,
I’ll try my best,
I wonder what my new teacher’s like?

Chorus

Verse 2
New facts to learn,
New friends to make,
I’ll try my best,
I wonder what my new classrooms like?

Final Chorus
I’ve got my brand new pens
And a pencil case,
I’ve cleaned my teeth
And I’ve washed my face,
I’ve got my shiny shoes
And some new school gear,
We’re starting a new school year,
Starting a new school year,
Starting a new school year.
