Music Connection:
Change the name "Johnny" on each verse to the name of a selected student.
This student will come to the front of the class and pantomime marching to
the bank. All students can stand for the chorus and march in place.

 

Marching to the Bank
(Tune: When Johnny Comes Marching Home)

Verse:
When Johnny goes marching to the bank, Hurrah, Hurrah!
When Johnny goes marching to the bank, Hurrah, Hurrah!
Our Johnny stops to save and then,
The rest of us all follow in.
And we save, save, save, save.
And we all go marching home!

Chorus:
The kids go marching to the bank, Hurrah, Hurrah!
The kids go marching to the bank, Hurrah, Hurrah!
The first one stops to save and then
The rest of them all follow in.
And they save, save, save, save.
And they all go marching home!
