COME SING ABOUT SOUND

Tune: We Beseech Thee
From : Soundtrack to Godspell

By Matt Scholl
Beech Grove High School

Sound is all around us now.
Listen close. I'll tell you how.
When I'm done, then you'll say "Wow!"
We will teach thee, hear us!

Every sound is only waves,
From the moo of a cow to echoes in caves.
Every sound made in every day
We will teach thee, hear us!

Chorus:
Come sing about sound
That we hear each day.
Come sing about sound
That's with us when we play.
Come sing about sound.
It is here to stay.
We will teach thee, hear us!

Sound waves are a frequency.
Looks like a sine curve, I guarantee.
They're to be heard and not to be seen.
We will teach thee, hear us!

Chorus:

Sound waves can travel through matter with ease.
They travel through rock faster than the seas.
The same can be applied to the gases you breathe.
We will teach thee, hear us!

Everything has a frequency.
When you tap an object, you'll hear it ring.
Now everyone with me can sing.
We will teach thee, hear us!

Chorus:
