00 A Long Time Ago
(Can't remember the name of this one.)
A long time ago as the little children know, 
Jehovah God created this world.
Hung the sun up in space, Put the moon in its place,
And the lovely stars that sparkle like jewels.

Chorus:
He made the birds in the trees, And the fish in the seas, 
The lion and the big-horned ram,
The tortoise and the hare And the mighty grizzly bear,
The donkey and the gentle little lamb.

Now the animals were fine, but it came into His mind
That He'd like to see Himself reflected there.
So He created man to live upon the land
And to spread God's paradise across this world

Chorus:

Adam led a busy life, but he didn't have a wife,
And Jehovah said that that was no good.
All the animals had mates, so Jehovah didn't wait
He made woman just from one of Adam's ribs.

Chorus:

God said, "If you obey, you'll see many happy days,
But if you do not, you'll surely die."
Then old Satan entered in and he plunged us into sin.
That's why we see so many mourn and cry.

Chorus:




01 Chronology Song
(Consider Yourself)
Let's memorize dates that stick
Don't say that your brains
Are made of rocks and bricks.
Creation of man is fixed:
B. C. E. forty twenty-six
By Jehovah God's decree
The floodwaters fell in twenty-three seventy.
Our Bible, so pure and clean,
Was first penned in fifteen thirteen.

Chorus:
Just 'cause you're small, make no apologies
'Cause chronology's for all.
You, too, can teach the Bible's history
When in service you do call.

In prophecy from heaven, 
Jerusalem's fall was warned, 
And sure enough, it came in six o seven,
The Gentile times were born.
'Twas then twenty-nine C. E.
Baptism of Christ, a model for you and me.
He died for man on a tree, 
And raised up in the year thirty-three.
In seventy, as before,
By Romans, this time, Jerusalem fell once more.
Then nineteen fourteen brought war.
Cast to the earth, Satan we can't ignore

Chorus:
Just 'cause you're small, make no apologies
'Cause chronology's for all.
You, too, can teach the Bible's history
When in service you do call.

Now in the last days, we wait
A tribulation so great.
Though we can trust Jehovah that it won't be late,
He only knows the date.




02 Home, Paradise Home
(Home on the Range)
Oh, give me a home where the buffalo roam,
Where the child and the cobra can play.
Where always is heard an encouraging word
And we'll all praise Jehovah all day.

Chorus:
Home, Paradise home,
Where the child and the cobra can play.
Where always is heard an encouraging word
And we'll all praise Jehovah all day.

Oh, won't it be grand to live in such a land
Where we're free of Satan and sin
Where Jesus is king over everything
And the dead are alive once again.

Chorus:

Let's be busy now, and the Bible says how.
Preach the good news to all, far and wide.
Let's do our full share, and avoid Satan's snare.
With Jehovah we'll all take our side.

Chorus: 




03 I'd Like to Teach
(I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing)
I'd like to teach the world the truth,
And the happiness it brings.
Like peaceful thoughts and loving friends
With Jesus as our king.
I'd like to see the earth all filled
With happy familes.
And no more war with all its scars,
And joy from sea to sea

Chorus: 
It's the real way,
Be courageous and say.
"Live the truth every day."
It's the real way.

I'd like to ride a lion's back
And stroke his golden mane.
Do cartwheels with a chimpanzee
Along a grassy lane.
I'd like to see our loved ones dear
Who now are bent and worn,
Grow stronger with each passing day
To waken young in morn.

Chorus:




04 In the New World
(It's a Small World )
It's a world of laughter with no more tears, 
A world of hopes and no more fears.
With the love that we share
There is peace in the air
In the new world for us all.

Chorus:
In the new world for us all,
In the new world for us all,
In the new world for us all,
In the new world for us all.

There is just one God, and his faithful son.
To obey them means life for everyone.
Too, the meek ones who sigh
Will be there by and by 
In the new world for us all.

Chorus:




05 Katie's Song 
(My Name is Michael)
My name is Katie. I love Jehovah.
I'll serve Him always, Eternally.
If I obey Him, He'll show me favor
In Paradise I'll be.




06 Kids Can Praise Jehovah, Too
(Can't remember this one, either.)
When we are out in service, we can ring the bell,
Ring the bell, Ring the bell.
When we are out in service, we can ring the bell,
To Jehovah's praise.

When we go door to door, we can leave a tract,
Leave a tract, leave a tract.
When we go door to door, we can leave a tract,
To Jehovah's praise.

To answer at the meeting, we will raise our hand,
Raise our hand, raise our hand.
To answer at the meeting, we will raise our hand,
To Jehovah's praise.

And when the meeting's over, we will not run,
Will not run, will not run.
And when the meeting's over, we will not run,
To Jehovah's praise.

To help clean up the Hall, we can pick up trash,
Pick up trash, pick up trash.
To help clean up the Hall, we can pick up trash,
To Jehovah's praise.

Before we go to sleep, we will say a prayer,
Say a prayer, say a prayer.
Before we go to sleep, we will say a prayer,
To Jehovah's praise.




07 Lullaby
Baby mine, baby mine, soft warm arms are around you.
Close your eyes, calm your cries, our good God watches o'er you.
Dream of the time when there's peace on earth,
Peace on earth forever.
Baby mine, baby mine, you can live there forever.




08 Move Around
(Move Ahead to Maturity)
Move around, move around at the Kingdom Hall.
Find a row, say hello, to someone you met last fall.
Take a seat, plant your feet, have yourself a ball.
And get to know your family.
How many times have you walked through the door,
And staked a claim on the seat you had before?
Change your seat, you will find that it's not a bore.
Keep changing your locality.

Move around, move around, let the spirit flow.
Change your aisle, give your smile to someone you do not know.
You won't die, if you're shy it will help you grow.
And add to your maturity.
Meet all the brothers, and not just a few.
'Cause all the brothers would like meeting you/
It's our loss if the moss grows all over you.
So move around, move frequently.

Move around, move around, don't be grouchity.
Change your spot, please don't rot 'cause of immobility.
Move up close, get a dose of theocracy.
We know you'll like it if you try.
You'd give your life for a friend, I am sure.
And share your wealth to help brothers endure.
So let's start being loving to one and all
By changing seats in the Kingdom Hall.




09 My Favorite Things
(My Favorite Things)
Message of hope to those sighing and crying, 
In God's new order no sickness and dying.
Hearing of Paradise, eyes sparkling.
These are a few of my favorite things.

New Bible students are something you treasure.
Picking them up for the meeting's a pleasure.
Baptism day, oh, what joy it all brings.
These are a few of my favorite things.

District conventions and circuit assemblies,
Seeing an old friend and sharing warm mem'ries
Thousands of voices unitedly sing.
These are a few of my favorite things.

When the door slams, when the word stings,
Makes me feel so sad.
I simply remember my favorite things,
And then I don't feel so bad.

What an abundance of fine publications,
Truth book and Aid book and New World Translation
Waters of truth are an eternal spring
These are a few of my favorite things.

Gilead students and traveling brothers
Pioneers, elders and Bethelites mothers.
All of the joys that such sacrifice brings.
These are a few of my favorite things.

Getting to know the great God of creation,
Being a part of His organization.
Living forever with Jesus as king.
These are a few of my favorite things.

When the door slams, when the word stings,
Makes me feel so sad.
I simply remember my favorite things,
And then I don't feel so bad.




10 Naturally
(Alone Again, Naturally)
Walkin' up to the door, I know I've been here before.
I clear my throat, and straighten my tie, just waiting for a chance 
to speak.
Not hearing a single sound, I start to pound and pound,
In an effort to try and offer you our latest magazines
Concerning this old world and the problems that it faces
The dog's the only one at home, no point in us remaining.
The people that we missed, just add them to the list.
Not home again, naturally,

Yet do not despair, for Jehovah knows you're there.
The angels, too, are guiding you. You'll find someone, somewhere.
'Cause the tract you left concealed may by now be revealed
To a sheeplike one who has read the word
And the good news has appealed.
The next time that we're by, he may have some questions for us.
And hearing of the kingdom, for a study he'll implore us.
And what are we to do when folks we find are few?
Go door to door, naturally.




11 Oh, Praise Jehovah
(The Farmer in the Dell)

Oh, praise Jehovah.
He died for all mankind.

And now he rules as king.
And now he rules as king.
Oh, praise Jehovah.
And now he rules as king.

The paradise is near.
The paradise is near.
Oh, praise Jehovah.
The paradise is near.

If we will just obey.
If we will just obey.
Oh, praise Jehovah.
If we will just obey.

We'll live in paradise.
We'll live in paradise.
Oh, praise Jehovah.
We'll live in paradise.




12 Out in the Service
(On Top of Old Smokey)
Out in the service, Preaching the word
To interested persons Who just haven't heard.
That we'll live forever In a paradise earth
And there'll be perfection And a life full of mirth.
But we must be faithful And continue to preach
'Til out in the service All persons we reach.




13 The Creative Days
(Doe, a Deer, a Female Deer)

Let's start at the very beginning, 
A very good place to start.
Earth was empty, dark, and watery.
Not at all the place for you and me,
You and me, you and me.
Not a bee, not a flea, not a chickadee, 
Chickadee, chickadee.
So God started fixing up 
A home for humans. 

On day one he made the day and night.
Day two, a water canopy.
Day three, he made dry land appear.
Day four, the sun and moon to see.
Day five, the fishes and the birds.
Day six, the animals and man.
Day seven, He rested from His work.
Thus, our earth did overflow.
With crow and doe and buffalo, oh, oh.




14 The Fruitage of the Spirit
(I don't know what the name of this melody is.)
Love, joy, peace, long-suffering,
Kindness, goodness, faith,
Mildness, self-control.
Oh, if you manifest God's spirit
You need have no fear,
These fruits you will display.

Jehovah loves the people in your neighborhood,
In your neighborhood, yes in your neighborhood,
Jehovah loves the people in your neighborhood,
Let's imitate his loving ways.

Go preach to all the people in your neighborhood,
In your neighborhood, yes in your neighborhood,
Go preach to all the people in your neighborhood,
What better way to spend the day.

Soon paradise will be here in your neighborhood,
In your neighborhood, yes in your neighborhood,
Soon paradise will be here in your neighborhood,
Following Jehovah God's great day.




18 The Rainbow Song
(Oh, What a Beautiful Morning)

'Twas a bright golden haze on the meadow,
'Twas a bright golden haze on the meadow,
The sparkle of sunshine met old Noah's eye,
And a prism of colors arched up through the sky.

Chorus:
Oh, what a beautiful rainbow 
Broke through the clouds on that day.
God's qualities it reflected,
Wisdom and love on display.

Oh, Jehovah cleansed earth of all badness,
Oh, Jehovah cleansed earth of all badness,
The rainbow he gave in the cloud as a sign
"No more by a flood," was His promise divine.

Chorus:
Oh, what a beautiful rainbow 
Broke through the clouds on that day.
God's qualities it reflected,
Wisdom and love on display.

When the earth is all dewy with raindrops,
When the earth is all dewy with raindrops,
Look up to the red, yellow, blue, indigo.
And remember the covenant from long ago.

Chorus:
Oh, what a beautiful rainbow 
Broke through the clouds on that day.
God's qualities it reflected,
Wisdom and love on display.
Wisdom and love on display.




19 The Twelve Apostles
(Darling Clementine)
Jesus prayed to his Father
To help him wisely find
From among all his disciples
Twelve apostles, meek and kind.

Chorus:
Twelve apostles, twelve apostles,
Twelve apostles he did choose. 
They were once sent forth to witness
Of the Kingdom good news.

First was Simon, the one called Peter, 
And his brother, named Andrew.
Then the ones called Sons of Thunder
James and John were brothers, too.

Next were Philip and Nathaniel, 
Also called Bartholomew, 
And the doubter known as Thomas, 
And the tax man, Matthew.

Chorus:

James the Lesser got his name
'Cause he was the shortest one.
Then Thaddaeus was the next picked 
Along with Simon the zealous one.

And finally, there was Judas,
A traitor and a theif,
Was replaced by Matthias. 
Now that's all. What a relief

Chorus:
