Keys to Communication (Kimochis)
"Cooperation"
Cooperation, working together for the common good.
Cooperation, working together like we know we should.
More heads for thinking, more hands to build.
Cooperation, working together for the common good.
Be a good leader, a good follower too.
Let others on your team show what they can do.
Think before acting, listen well.
Use a calm voice when you have something to tell.
Cooperation, working together for the common good.
Cooperation, working together like we know we should.
More heads for thinking, more hands to build.
Cooperation, working together for the common good.
A table needs moving? Time to put on a show?
The kitchen needs cleaning? There's a garden to grow?
Let's build a house. It's easy you'll see,
When you are working in company.
Cooperation, working together for the common good.
Cooperation, working together like we know we should.
More heads for thinking, more hands to build.
Cooperation, working together for the common good.
"Transportation"
Transportation, transportation,
keeps us moving around and around.
Transportation, transportation,
on the water,
through the sky
on the ground.
Verse We can fly in an airplane
over the clouds to a faraway place.
We can float in a motorboat
up the river or across the ocean.
Transportation, transportation…
Verse We can ride an electric car (it makes a little sound)
on the back roads or on the busy freeway.
We can ride a high-speed train
down the track across a countryside scene.
Transportation, transportation…
We can take the bus to school
through the city streets;
green light, yellow light, red light.
We can ride our bicycle,
to go to the park or go down to the store.
Transportation, transportation…
Branches of Government
Three branches of government,
Three branches of government,
The Executive,
The Legislative,
The Judicial,
Three branches of government,
Three branches of government.
Key Change
Three levels of government,
Three levels of government,
The Federal,
The State,
The Local,
Three levels of government,
Three levels of government.
Key Change
When we turn eighteen,
When we turn eighteen,
We can vote in elections,
And do Jury Duty,
When we turn eighteen,
When we turn eighteen,
When we turn...
Kid: Stop, stop, wait.
The music stops.
Mr. Peter: What’s up?
Kid: Mr. Peter, what do you mean?
I can’t vote?
Mr. Peter: How old are you?
Kid: ____ (actual age)
Mr. Peter: Nope, too young.
Kid: But, that’s not fair.
Mr. Peter: Well, it’s the law.
If you don’t like the law,
then work to change it.
But you have to know the law
before you can change it.
Back to Original Key
Three branches of government,
Three branches of government,
The Executive,
The Legislative,
The Judicial,
Three branches of government,
Three branches of government.
"Balance in Life"
Calm and happy spirit,
Creative, open mind,
Healthy, active body,
Try and you will find,
Friends to work and play with,
Answers to your questions,
Chances to be active,
Problems have solutions!
Balance in life, find a balance in life,
Take care of yourself and find a balance in life.
Be kind,
Be smart,
Eat well,
Shake that thing,
And don't forget to sing.
Be kind,
Be smart,
Eat well,
Shake that thing,
And don't forget to sing.
Use words that are helpful,
Brighten up the mood,
Exercise your body,
Eat nutritious food,
Listen to your family,
Listen to your friends,
Try to make decisions that lead to healthy ends.
Balance in life, find a balance in life,
Take care of yourself and find a balance in life.
Be kind,
Be smart,
Eat well,
Shake that thing,
And don't forget to sing.
Be kind,
Be smart,
Eat well,
Shake that thing,
And don't forget to sing.
Be kind,
Be smart,
Eat well,
Shake that thing,
And don't forget to sing.

"Keys to Communication" (Kimochis)
Chorus:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
These are the keys
These are the keys
These are the keys to communication
Take these keys please
Use them with ease
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
These are the keys
1: Number one, get their attention
When eye contact is made
2: Number two, use a talking tone of voice
Let any attention fade
3: Number three, relax your face
And your body language too
To get along with others
Keep these keys with you
These are the keys
These are the keys
These are the keys to communication
Take these keys please
Use them with ease
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
These are the keys
4: Number four, use words that help
Not hurtful things to say
5: Number five, when you make a mistake
Be brave, redo and save the day
6: Number six, when others fail
Give ‘em another go
7: Number seven, assume the best
Worry less, who needs the stress
Breathe and calm the flow
So…
These are the keys
These are the keys
These are the keys to communication
Take these keys please
Use them with ease
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
These are the keys!
