My students love "Polar Puppy" (from Music K-8, Vol. 16, No. 2) so much that they keep asking to sing it, even as the year draws to a close. Since I always get asked for Kindergarten graduation music, I decided to do a little rewriting and make an easy-to-learn graduation song. It doesn't hurt that one of my schools has Bulldogs for a mascot, but I also use the song at my other school that has Wildcats for a mascot. We just "meow" instead of "woof." Both groups had a blast with it!

"We're Done With Kindergarten"
(to tune: Polar Puppy)

(solo bark)
Bulldog puppies, done with kindergarten.
We're sunny. We're funny. We're done with kindergarten.
Bulldog puppies, done with kindergarten.
We're sunny. We're funny. We're done with kindergarten.
Guess it's been a real good year. We really got to shine.
We know we'll miss our old classroom. We had a real good time.
Oh. Oh. (solo bark) Oh. Oh. (solo bark)
Bulldog puppies, done with kindergarten.
We're sunny. We're funny. We're done with kindergarten.
Bulldog puppies, done with kindergarten.
We're sunny. We're funny. We're done with kindergarten.
Now we're ready for some fun. Won't summer ever come?
We just can't wait to play outside. Vacation here we come.
