    Titusville Blues 
    By Dan Shornstein 

    Might take a plane, might take a train 
    But if I have to walk, 
    I’ll get there just the same 

    Chorus 
    Titusville 
    Titusville Intermediate School 
    Titusville 
    Titusville Intermediate School 
    I’m going to Titusville 
    there’s a whole lot of learning going on! 

    Might take a car, might take a bus 
    If I can’t go to school there, 
    I’m gonna make a fuss! 
    Chorus 

    First came to Titusville in 2005 
    I walked right in and I felt so alive 
    Because the teachers are hip and the kids are cool 
    The parents help to make this an awesome school 

    Chorus 

    Might take a bike 
    I might take a Hummer 
    If I can’t go to school there 
    It’s going to be a bummer! 

    Chorus 
    At Titusville……


    Titusville Pride 
    By Tara Paradise based on the music from “The Saint Go Marching In” 

    If you want to know 
    Where to find Pride 
    If you want to know where to find Pride 
    It’s right here at Titusville 
    At Titusville we have Pride 

    We practice RESPECT, RESPONSIBILITY, and CONSIDERATION 
    In our school and community 
    During every part of our day! 




    This School is Your School 
    (Adapted by Dan Shornstein from Woody Guthrie’s “This Land is Your Land”) 
    Chorus 
    This school is your school 
    This school is my school 
    From the principal’s office 
    Down to the art room 
    From the upstairs classrooms to the cafetorium, 
    This school was made for you and me! 


    While I was walking down that hallway, 
    I saw before me my teacher smiling, 
    And all around me a voice was sounding, 
    “This school was made for you and me.” 

    Chorus 

    What Can One Little Person Do? 
    By Sally Rogers, verse by Dan Shornstein 


    What can one little person do? 
    What can one little me or you do? 
    What can one little person do to help this world go round? 
    What can help another one, and together we can get the job done, 
    What can one little person do to help this world? 

    Titusville Intermediate School is a place that’s really cool, 
    Our mission is to show respect and respons-i-bil-i-ty 
    And to show consideration in our school and community, 
    During every single part of our day! 

    Pirate Song 

    When I was one, I had just begun 
    The day I went to sea 
    I climbed aboard a pirate ship 
    And the captain said to me 
    “Were going this way that way, forward and back 
    Over the Irish Sea, 
    A bottle of pop to fill me up, 
    Now that’s the life for me! 

    When I was two… (I tied my shoe) 
    When I was three…. (I was stung by a bee) 
    When I was four…. (I opened the door) 
    When I was five….. 
    When I was six 
    Seven…… 
    Eight…. 
    Nine… 
    Ten


    Green Grass Grows All Around 

    1. There was a hole (there was a hole) 
    The cutest little hole (cutest little hole) 
    That you ever did see! (That you ever did see!) 
    The hole in the ground and…. 
    Chorus: 
    The green grass grows all around and around 
    And the green grass grows all around. 

    2. Well in this hole (well in this hole) 
    There was a tree (there was a tree) 
    The cutest little tree (the cutest little tree) 
    That you ever did see! (That you ever did see!) 
    Well, the tree in the hole and the hole in the ground and….. 
    Chorus 

    3. And on this tree (repeat each line) 
    There was a branch 
    The cutest little branch 
    That you ever did see! 
    The branch on the tree and the tree in the hole and the hole in the ground and….. 
    Chorus 

    4. Well on this branch (repeat) 
    There was a nest……. 
    5. And in this nest 
    There was an egg 
    6. Inside this egg 
    Out popped a bird 
    7. And on this bird 
    There was a feather…….

    In my neighbor’s farm!
