Young man, there's no need to feel down

I said young man, pick yourself off the ground

I said young man, 'cause you're in a new town

There's no need to be unhappy

You can have a good meal

footloose

Been working so hard

I'm punching my card

Eight hours, for what?

Oh, tell me what I got

I've got this feeling

That time's just holding me down

I'll hit the ceiling

Or else I'll tear up this town

So now I gotta cut loose

Footloose

Kick off the Sunday shoes

Please, Louise

Pull me off of my knees

Jack, get back

Come on before we crack

Lose your blues

Everybody cut foot-

(Cut footloose - whoa)

AAAAHHH!!!!

I’m turnin’ it loose.

Footloose

Kick off the Sunday shoes

Please, Louise

Pull me off of my knees

Jack, get back

Come on before we crack

Lose your blues

Everybody cut, everybody cut

(Everybody)

Everybody cut footloose!

livin' on a prayer

SOLO:

Tommy used to work on the docks, union's been on strike

He's down on his luck, it's tough, so tough

Gina works the diner all day, working for her man

She brings home her pay, for love, mmm, for love

ALL:

She says, "We've gotta hold on to what we've got

It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not

We've got each other and that's a lot for love

We'll give it a shot"

Whoa, we're half way there

Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer

Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear

Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer

Livin' on a prayer

~instrumental~

She says, "We've gotta hold on to what we've got

It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not

We've got each other and that's a lot for love

We'll give it a shot"

Whoa, we're half way there

Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer

Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear

Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer

Whoa, we're half way there

Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer

Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear

Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer

Livin' on a prayer

Script:

Student 1: Zynn’Drick Thomas

Welcome, everyone, to our Grandparent’s Day celebration!

Student 2: Ariyan Arnold
Today, we’re going to take you on a musical journey through the decades from the 1950s to the 1980s.

Student 3: Ariyana Arnold
And while we’re traveling through time, we’ll share a few memories about the music you may have grown up with.

Student 4: Aliyana Butler
So, sit back, relax, and get ready to tap your toes and sing along if you know the words!

Student 5: Annemarie Spell
Our first stop is the 1950s—a time of sock hops, drive-in movies, and rock ’n’ roll beginning to take over the world.

Student 6: Maddox Holmes
One of the biggest stars was Elvis Presley, known as the “King of Rock ’n’ Roll.”

Student 7: Catalaya Gamble

Many of you probably had his records or posters on your bedroom wall.

Student 8: Samia Wiltz
He had a voice like no one else and some pretty fancy dance moves.

Student 9: Vaughn Daniel
Here’s one of his most famous songs about shoes so special, you wouldn’t want anyone stepping on them!

SONG 1: Blue Suede Shoes – Elvis Presley

Student 10: Briella Knepp
Now let’s move into the 1960s—when something called “Beatlemania” swept across the world.

Student 11: James Thompson
The Beatles were four young men from Liverpool, England—John, Paul, George, and Ringo.

Student 12: Vidalia Willis
They wore matching suits, had cool haircuts, and wrote songs that still make people smile today.

Student 13: Jaxston Vanslyke
Here’s one of their most cheerful songs that you might remember.

SONG 2: I Wanna Hold Your Hand – The Beatles

Student 14: Crosby Granger
The ’70s brought us a song that made everyone get up and spell out four letters with their arms.

Student 15: Serenity Grandchampt
This song has been played at parties, weddings, and everywhere in between.

Student 16: Elizabeth Gonzalez
Sing along. We want to see you spell “Y-M-C-A” with us.

Student 17: Forrest Mistric

Don’t be shy—we’ll teach you if you forgot!

SONG 3: YMCA – Village People

Student 18: Dylan Foster
The 1980s were full of music videos, wild hairstyles, and fast-paced songs.

Student 19: Forrest Mistric
One movie from the ’80s gave us a song that told everyone to kick off their Sunday shoes and dance.

Student 20: Aleeza Akhter
It’s called “Footloose,” and it’s all about letting go, having fun, and moving your feet.

SONG 4: Footloose – Kenny Loggins

Student 21: Harmony Morgan

Before we finish our trip through the decades, we have one more stop—the late 1980s.

Student 22: Kaslyn Fondren
Bon Jovi released “Livin’ on a Prayer,” a song about working together to get through hard times.

Student 23: Adelina Solis
It’s the kind of song that makes you want to sing loudly—maybe even louder than you should.

SONG 5: Livin’ on a Prayer – Bon Jovi

Student 24: Olivia Graham
We hope you enjoyed our trip through the decades. The music of your day is still loved by so many people.

Student 25: Reagan Bell
And even though styles have changed, one thing hasn’t—music still brings us together.

Thank you, Grandparents, for sharing your music, your memories, and your love with us.
