Spanish students were assigned the task of writing an SOS song without music, just thinking about the lyrics. They were organised in groups and brainstormed about the topics they thought most suitable to point out in the song.
After discussing the topics and agreeing on them, they worked in groups writing the lyrics, trying to make rhymes and giving a sense of a round up song. After being polished, this is the final result which they are very happy about!
S.O.S SONG
S.O.S CALLED AT OUR DOOR
GERMANY, POLAND, ROMANIA AND SPAIN,
ALL TOGETHER WE’LL MAKE A GREAT JOB
ALL ABOUT HEALTH WE’RE GOING TO EXPLAIN
AND NEVER, NEVER AFTER , WE’LL HAVE PAIN
CHORUS
I HAVE A HEADACHE, I’M FEELING SICK
DON’T KNOW TO DO, CAN’T GO TO SCHOOL!!
ACHUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!
TOBACCO IS REALLY BAD BECAUSE IT IS A DRUG
YOUR LUNGS SOAKED IN NICOTINE
CAN BE CURED BY NO MEDICINE
HÄNDE HOCH, RĘCE W DÓŁ,(TERENSES,DU)
WITH SOME MEDICINA,
(WE’LL GET SOME) ÎMBUNĂTĂȚIREA(IMBUNATARIRA)
IF YOU ARE SAD, HAPPINESS IS THE KEY
TO FIGHT A HEADACHE, TAKE A PILL
IF YOUR LUNGS HURT, STOP SMOKING
IF YOU DO SPORT, YOU’LL BE GLOWING
YOUR BODY WILL ALWAYS BE READY
DON’T DO DRUGS IF YOU WANT TO BE STEADY
AIDS, ILLNESS PASSED ON SEXUALLY
CLAMEDIA, TRANSMITTED EQUALLY
AND MANY MORE LIKE THESE
CAN BE KICKED OFF WITH GLEE
WITH A BIT OF COMMON SENSE
AND OUR “ABC” ON “S.O.S”
BEING SICK OR SOUND, IT’S ALL UP TO YOU
YOU’RE GONNA PAY A PRICE FOR THAT CRAZY NIGHT
TOO MUCH DRINK, MAKES YOU PUKE
WE ONLY HAVE ONE LIFE, WE HAVE TO KEEP IT RIGHT
OUR BODY IS THE TOOL, WE WON’T PLAY THE FOOL
IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE, JUST ONE FALSE STEP
HEALTH CAN BE HURT, SO LET’S BE SAFE
