LYRICS: WE ALL SING WITH THE SAME VOICE
(Sheppard Greene and J. Philip Miller)

My hair is black and red
My hair is yellow
My eyes are brown and green and blue

My name is Jack and Fred
My name's Amanda Sue
I'm called Kareem Abdul
My name is you

I live in southern France
I'm from a Texas ranch
I come from Mecca and Peru
I live across the street
In the mountains, on a beach
I come from everywhere
And my name is you

We all sing with the same voice
The same song, the same voice
We all sing with the same voice
And we sing in harmony

Sometimes I get mad and mean
Sometimes I feel happy
And when I want to cry, I do

When I'm by myself at night
I hold my teddy tight
Until the morning light
My name is you

I have sisters one, two, three
In my family there's just me
I've got one daddy
I've got two

Grandpa helps me cross the street
My cat walks on furry feet
I love my parakeet
My name is you

We all sing with the same voice
The same song, the same voice
We all sing with the same voice
And we sing in harmony

I like to run and climb
I like to sit and read
I like to watch my TV, too

And when it's time for bed
I like my stories read
"Sweet dreams" and "Love you" said
My name is you

We all sing with the same voice
The same song, the same voice
We all sing with the same voice
And we sing in harmony
