Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. (Girls) Primary is the right way. Primary is a fun day. Primary is a happy song to sing, a loving teacher. Primary words can teach us. Primary tells of Jesus. Ev’ry time we’re here we feel his love. It’s the happy place to be. All our friends we see. Primary is, Primary is, Primary is the place for me.
2. (Boys) Primary’s the place we like to go one weekday after school, and don’t be late. Be there in sunshine, rain, or snow and learn to live the Golden Rule. So wash your hands and comb your hair; some one special’s there.
3. (Girls) Primary is the right way. (Boys) Primary is a fun day. (Girls) Primary is, (Boys) Primary is, (Together) Primary is the place to be.
