Adding melody

2. Pass the rhythm round
C&R
Don’t clap the rhythm back
Solemn silence

Soundscape – thunder storm.

5. We Are the Champions
I’ve paid my dues,
Time after time
I’ve done my sentence
But com-mitted no crime
And bad mistakes
I’ve made a few
I’ve had my share of sand kicked in my face
But I’ve come through
(And I need to go, on and on and on and on.)
We are the Champions my friends
And we’ll keep on fighting to the end.
We are the Champions
We are the Champions
No time for losers, ‘cause we are the champions
Of the World

6. Are you
ready to
rock?
Oh, all right

Buddy you’re a boy make a big noise
Playing in the street, gonna be a big man
some day.
You got mud on your face, you big
disgrace
Kicking your can all over the place
Singing
We will, we will rock you
