"On My Side"
by Waddy Wachtel and Judi Pulver

You're finally on my side,
You're finally on my time,
You're finally on my side,
After all the things you've tried.

Senseless waiting and debating,
Making up your mind.
Need of knowing ways for growing,
Till the day you find, understand
You've have planned and admitted in your saying,
You'll ignore from before,
All the games that you were playing.

You're finally on my side,
You're finally on my time,
You're finally on my side,
After all the things you've tried.

Into morning, sleepless nights,
That kept your fear awake.
Scolding, pointing, warning you
Against your big mistake.
Now at last, sleeping child,
It can make your worry worthwhile.
Now at last you can prove,
Get a gold star for your next move.

You're finally on my side,
You're finally on my time,
You're finally on my side,
After all the things you've tried.
You've found our place - took your place,
And you've just begun to know what love is like.

You're finally on my side,
You're finally on my time,
You're finally on my side,
After all the things you've tried,
After all the things you've tried.



"Heather Says"
by Waddy Wachtel and Judi Pulver

Heather says that each of us here,
Is allowed just one friend,
And one friend alone
That's what best friends are for.

Heather says that any among us,
Who think that it's better,
To have three or four,
Better change your mind.
(That's what she says.)
That's what she says.

Heather does bad things in class,
But she never, no never gets blamed,
And I wager already this week,
About fifteen more kids have been framed.

And of course one would never,
Dare tell on dear Heather, dear Heather.

And Heather says not a soul in the whole of the fourth grade class
Can jump near as high or run as fast.
I suspect someone could, but I can't deny
Heather must win so we never even try.

The challenge appears on her lips with a grin,
And she gives us that look that says Heather must to win.
And we, do what Heather says.

Heather makes fun of the kids with the mole
And the extra large ears.
And she's not satisfied till he's screaming and red and in tears.

And of course no one would ever
Dare tell on dear Heather, Sweet Heather.

Heather must be first in Hopscotch,
And when we play tag she is it.
Soon things will change,
Cuz the kids especially Margaret are sick of it.

And even I myself think that it's cruel,
That everything Heather says goes at our school.
Everything Heather says goes at our school.
