KWANZA SONGS

SING A SONG OF KWANZAA
Tune: “Sing A Song of Six Pence”

Sing a song of Kwanzaa
For seven nights long.
Light a Kwanzaa candle
As each night comes along.
Celebrate first harvest
And for unity.
That’s the way to celebrate
With friends and family!

KWANZAA’S HERE
Tune:  “Three Blind Mice”

Red, green, black,
Red, green, black.
Kwanzaa’s here,
Kwanzaa’s here.
The decorations are quite a sight.
We light a candle every night.
The holiday is filled with light.
Kwanzaa’s here!

CELEBRATE
Tune:  “Frere Jacques”

Celebrate, celebrate,
I can’t wait, I can’t wait!
Soon it will be Kwanzaa.
Soon it will be Kwanzaa.
I can’t wait, to celebrate.

KWANZAA  CANDLE SONG
Tune:  “The Farmer In The Dell”

The red candles shine.
The red candles shine,
When it’s time for Kwanzaa
The red candles shine.

The green candles shine.
The green candles shine,
When it’s time for Kwanzaa
The green candles shine.

The black candle shines.
The black candle shines,
When it’s time for Kwanzaa
The black candle shines.

TWINKLE, TWINKLE SEVEN LIGHTS
Tune:  “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star”

Twinkle, twinkle seven lights
In the Kinara, burning bright.
Time to celebrate first fruits
And the history of our roots.
Twinkle, twinkle seven lights
In the Kinara, burning bright.

KWANZAA’S HERE
Tune:  “If You’re Happy And You Know It”

If you’re happy and you know it, Kwanzaa’s here.
If you’re happy and you know it, Kwanzaa’s here.
Time to gather in first fruits, and celebrate our roots.
If you’re happy and you know it, Kwanzaa’s here.
