“Raining Tacos” – Written by Parry Gripp. Performed by Mr. Zocco's 3rd grade class at West Hill Elementary School in Rocky Hill, CT.

It's raining tacos, from out of the sky
Tacos, no need to ask why
Just open your mouth and close your eyes
It's raining tacos

It's raining tacos, out in the street
Tacos, all you can eat
Lettuce and shells, cheese and meat
It's raining tacos

Yum yum yum yum yummity yum, it's like a dream
Yum yum yum yum yummity yum, bring your sour cream

Shells, meat, lettuce, cheese
Shells, meat, lettuce, cheese
Shells, meat, cheese cheese cheese cheese cheese

It's raining tacos, ooo, it’s raining tacos, ooo
It’s raining tacos, ooo, it's raining tacos

It's raining tacos, ooo, it’s raining tacos, ooo
It’s raining tacos, ooo, it's raining tacos
Tacos…

“Lift Ev’ry Voice And Sing/Amen”- Written by James Weldon Johnson. Performed by Mrs. Kormos's 1st grade class at West Hill Elementary School in Rocky Hill, CT.

Lift ev’ry voice and sing
Till earth and heaven ring
Ring with the harmonies of liberty

Let our rejoicing rise
High as the list’ning skies
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea

Sing a song, full of the faith
that the dark past has taught us
Sing a song, full of the hope
that the present has brought us

Facing the rising sun
Of our new day begun
Let us march on till victory is won

Amen…
Amen…
Amen, amen, amen!
REPEAT

Lift Ev'ry Voice And Sing/Amen

“When You Wish Upon A Star/Over The Rainbow” – Written by Leigh Harline, E.Y. Harburg, and Harold Arlen. Performed by Mrs. Iacobucci's 2nd grade class at West Hill Elementary School in Rocky Hill, CT.
 
When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you
 
If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true
 
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true

Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh, why can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can’t I?

When You Wish Upon A Star/Over The Rainbow

“Maybe Tomorrow” – Lyric by Martin Charnin. Music by Charles Strouse. Performed by Mr. Kataja's 2nd grade class at West Hill Elementary School in Rocky Hill, CT.
 
Maybe far away, or maybe real nearby
He may be pouring her coffee
She may be straight’ning his tie

Maybe in a house, all hidden by a hill
She's sitting playing pian-ah
He's sitting paying a bill
 
Betcha’ they're young, betcha’ they're smart
Bet they collect things like ashtrays and art
Betcha’ they're good, why shouldn't they be?
Their one mistake, was giving up me
 
So maybe now it's time, and maybe when I wake
They'll be there calling me "baby", Maybe...
 
The sun'll come out, tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar
That tomorrow, there'll be sun
 
Just thinkin' about, tomorrow
Clears away the cobwebs
And the sorrow, 'til there's none
 
When I'm stuck with a day, that's gray and lonely
I just stick out my chin, and grin, and say, oh…
 
The sun'll come out, tomorrow
So ya gotta hang on
'Til tomorrow, come what may
Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya tomorrow
You're only, a day away
Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya tomorrow
You're only, a day… a… way...

Maybe Tomorrow

“My Heart Will Go On” – Lyrics by Will Jennings, Music by James Horner. Performed by Mrs. Russo's 2nd grade class at West Hill Elementary School in Rocky Hill, CT.

Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you
That is how I know you go on

Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on

Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more, you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go 'til we're gone

Love was when I loved you
One true time I'd hold to
In my life, we'll always go on

Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more, you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

You're here, there's nothing I fear
And I know that my heart will go on
We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart and
My heart will go on and on

Ooo… Ooo… Ooo…

My Heart Will Go On

“The Best Day Ever” – Written by Tom Kenny & Andy Paley. Performed by Mrs. Sweeney's 2nd grade class at West Hill Elementary School in West Hill, CT. Featuring Mr. Nelson as The Sea Captain.

Mister Sun came up and he smiled at me
Said it's gonna be a good one, just wait and see
Jumped out of bed, and I ran outside
Feeling so extra ec-sta-ti-fied

It's the best day ever (best day ever)
It's the best day ever (best day ever)

I'm so busy got nothing to do
Spent the last two hours just tying my shoe
Every flow’r, every grain of sand
Is reaching out to shake my hand

It's the best day ever (best day ever)
It's the best day ever (best day ever)

Sometimes the little things, start closing in on me
When I'm feeling down, I wanna lose that frown
I stick my head out the window, and I look around
 
Those clouds don't scare me, they can't disguise
This magic that's happenin’ right before my eyes
Soon Mister Moon will be shining bright
So the best day ever can last all night
Yeah, the best day ever's gonna last all night now

It's the best day ever (best day ever)
It's the best day ever (best day ever)
It's the best day ever (best day ever)
It's the best day ever (best day ever)

The Best Day Ever

“The Best Day” – Words and music by Taylor Swift. Performed by Mrs. Russo's 2nd grade class at West Hill Elementary School in Rocky Hill, CT.

I'm five years old it's getting cold I've got, my big coat on
I hear your laugh and look up smiling at you, I run and run
Past the pumpkin patch and the tractor rides look now, the sky is gold
I hug your legs and fall asleep, on the way home

I don't know why all the trees change in the Fall
But I know you're not scared, of anything at all
Don't know if Snow White's house is near or far away
But I know I had the best day with you, today

I'm thirteen now and don't know how my friends, could be so mean
I come home crying and you hold me tight, and grab the keys
And we drive and drive until we found a town, far enough away
And we talk and window shop 'till I’ve forgotten, all their names

I don't know who I'm gonna talk to now at school
But I know I'm laughing, on the car ride home with you
Don't know how long it's gonna take to feel okay
But I know I had the best day with you, today

I have an excellent Father, his strength is making me stronger
God smiles on my little brother, inside and out he's better than I am
I grew up in a pretty house, and I had space to run and I,
Had… the best days with you…

There is a video I found from back, when I was three
You set up a paint set in the kitchen and you're, talking to me
It's the age of princesses and pirate ships, and the seven dwarfs
Daddy's smart and you're the prettiest lady in, the whole wide world

Now I know why the all the trees change in the Fall
I know you were on my side, even when I was wrong
And I love you, for giving me your eyes
Staying back and watching me shine and
I didn't know if you knew, so I'm taking this chance to say
That I had the best day with you, today

The Best Day

West Hill - The AI Album

I created this track "Oma Tres" with my friend, film and TV composer John Delvento as a musical tribute to our mutual hero, maestro John Williams.  We came up with an original motif, and packed it as full of Williams cliches as we possibly could in 35 seconds.  It was created as the intro music for the Star Wars and Comic Con themed podcast "The ConPanel" hosted by 501st members Kevin Liell and Paul Starybrat.
