Laura Freeman: Music

You Can Make Music

(Laura Freeman)
You Can Make Music

You can make music out of just about anything
A couple of spoons a tub and a string
A raisin box some paper and a comb
A soda straw can sound like a slide trombone

You can make music out of lots of things
Soda pop bottles keys to jing-a-ling
Rocks in a can or beans and rice
A paper bag popping is rather nice

When you put these things together then you have a band
So march down the street and play loud as you can

You can make anywhere at all
A blade of grass in the lawn
A shoe squeaking in the hall
Clap your hands together and go xx xx xx
Pucker up your lips and go toot toot toot
When you put these things together then you have a band
So march down the street and play loud as you can

When you put these things together then you have a band
So march down the street and play loud as you can
Or softly as you can
Or sweetly as you can
Just make music
