Get Up and Put ‘em Pebbles in! – Lyrics


2nd Grade (ARIZONA)

Narrator: Tired and hungry with no place to go, Raven was thirsty and feeling quite low.
Raven: If only I found me a parcel of water, a drip or a drop or a sop, that would do.
Narrator: So Raven went searching and found her a jug. She saw in there water but couldn’t get to.
Raven: The waters too low, my beak aint that long. The water must rise…
Narrator: She knew what to do…
Raven: Get up and put ‘em pebbles in critters large and small! Working together we all win, the water rising tall. Get up and put /em pebbles in critters large and small. My word is my honor, we’ll all win!
Get up, get up, get up, put ‘em pebbles in.
Narrator: Nearby those critters were parched through and through. They wanted some water like Raven did too. Trusting her word, out they came just like that, and together they sang an arid desert Rap.
Critters: We got your back! We got your back! We’re here to help you, we got your back. We got your back! (We got your back!) We got your back! (We got your back!) We want some water too. We got, we got , we got….we got your back.
(Sounds of pebbles and animals, lively instruments)
(Repeat chorus, sing with rap over it 2-3x)
SPLASH. Hooray! (drinking/burping)
