Martin Luther King, Jr. Song

Today I wrote a song for some of our third graders to sing at the MLK Day Lunch. I'm pretty proud of it, and it didn't take too long to write. Now all that has to happen, is that the kids like it too--and memorize it and don't f-up for the real thing. Here's the song:

MLK Day Song

(To the tune of: “Black or White” by Michael Jackson)

Martin Luther, Martin Luther King (Junior!)

Martin Luther, Martin Luther King

Martin Luther, Martin Luther King (Junior!)

Martin Luther, Martin Luther King

He was in January 1929.

His Mom and Dad both though that he was divine.

His Dad was a minister;

His Mama was a school teacher (Teacher!)

He liked to read books, sing, ride his bicycle, and play football!(Football!)

He went to Morehouse College at 15.

Became a minister and a Dr. King.

He believed in equality and civil-rights for everyone! (One!)

People liked him so much the Nobel Peace Prize he has won! (Won!)

So tell me you agree with me,

That MLK Jr. was the best! (Best!)

We hoped you learned a lot

Because afterwards there will be a test. (Test!)

Martin Luther, Martin Luther King (Junior!)

Martin Luther, Martin Luther King……..
