Music and Lyrics by Sara Hickman

[mp3 file] - Listen to the song

Group Chant:

C-H-A-M-P-I-O-N!
We got it, we got it, we got it going on. Oh, yea!
C-H-A-M-P-I-O-N!
We got it, we got it, we got it going on.

Verse:

Oh, we�love to dance, to hop, to surf to sled and skip
And sail and soar until the day is done.
There�s throwing, catching, climbing, passing, swimming, flipping,
And, yes, we like to run!
There�s snorkeling, biking, tumbling, hiking, all are lots of fun.
But let me tell ya what this champion thinks is #1.

Chorus:

Ohhhh�Read! I love to read! She loves to read!
To plant the seed that feeds my readin� need for me to be informed.
Since I was born, Since she was born,
I�ve heard the words, She�s heard the words,
And now I read what I have heard because that�s how I love to learn.

Spoken:

So now that I have shared my cares,
I�ll let you take a turn:

Chant:

C-H-A-M-P-I-O-N
We got it, we got it, we got it going on.
C-H-A-M-P-I-O-N
We got it, we got it, we got it going on.
Who do? We do!
You do? Me, too!
We do we do we do we do we do we do�

(Instrumental Solo)

Chorus:

Oh, read! I love to read! She loves to read!
To plant the seed that feeds my readin� need for me to be informed.
Since I was born, Since she was born,
I�ve heard the words, She�s heard the words,
And now I read what I have heard because that�s how I love to learn.
And now I read what I have heard because that�s how I love to learn.
