Together
(The school song; co-written by Richard Keep and John Coopey and sung by the children of Chapel Haddlesey CE Primary School)
On mornings when I feel so blue
and my spirits saddened
I join with all my friends at school
where my heart is gladdened;
Come and join us, you will see
Each day here in Haddlesey
Our teachers, friends and me -
We sing together. We sing together. We sing together. We sing together.
I listen, learn, I play and sing
both at my desk and in the Hall;
Through Autumn, Winter and through Spring
happy days enjoyed by all;
We older help the young,
The small helped by the strong
We know we all belong -
We learn together. We learn together. We learn together. We learn together.
I count my blessings every day
that life has been so kind;
For those less fortunate I pray
that comfort they may find;
For those worse off than me
That children all could be
With us in Haddlesey
At one together. At one together. At one together. At one together.

I have always admired the effort that creates a school song. A purely fictitious - and favourite - example is Richard Addinsell's school song for the Robert Donat film version of "Goodbye Mr Chips", to my mind, on an equal footing with the more famous real-life "Eton Boating Song".
Lovely stuff!
