Miniature Dutch Village Lesson Plan Song


These lyrics to familiar tunes accompany The Path of Delft Readers Theater Play.		Lyrics by 10 year old students at Webster Elementary School in Pella, Iowa, and their teacher. Song 1 Sung to the tune of On Top of Old Smokey
		We all came from Holland Far over the sea We're headed for Pella Our new home that will be. For miles we have traveled We're Iowa bound The gold in our chest will Buy us acres of ground.


	Song 2 - I'd Like to be Home in Holland Sung to the tune of Sidewalks in New York
	I'd like to be home in Holland With windmills turning around With neat little homes in the country Where beloved friends are found. Where cows graze in the lushness Of grass so beautifully green I'd love to stroll the familiar The good ol' Holland scenes . . . My heart's at home in Holland But here will be my new home And when the journey is finished I will never, ever roam!
Chorus		Pella, Pella Here in the Midwest We're going to make a new city That will be the very best. All of us together Americans we will be But we will not forget Holland Our old home across the sea!
