Bittersweet Written by Todd Burge & Vienna Elementary 5th Graders June 1st 2015 http://toddburgeforkids.blogspot.com/ It’s graduation time We’re moving on Moving on To the next step in our lives Happy are we As we leave here you see But the leaving is a bit Bittersweet – Bittersweet>>>>>> Happy are we As we leave here you see But the leaving is a bit Bittersweet The fourth graders will stay And become the fifth grade The third will be the fourth And the second will be the third The fifth will be the first To get a taste of middle school And that taste is a bit Bittersweet - Bittersweet Happy are we As we leave here you see But the leaving is a bit Bittersweet Our school has become Sort of like a family tree With branches reaching out Yet rooted in our history Happy are we As we leave here you see But the leaving is a bit Bittersweet - Bittersweet Happy are we As we leave here

My Video Game Is Coming To Life By Todd Burge with the Vienna Elementary 4th Grade Class June 1st 2015 Thanks for Artsbridge http://toddburgeforkids.blogspot.com/ My video game is coming to life My video game is coming to life My Minecraft is blown You heard me right It was a bunch of pictures And some organized light Now it’s  jumpin’ on my bed Petting my dog Hoggin’ my phone And sleepin’ like a log Keepin’ me up Makin’ me miss school Acting like a friend Who isn’t too cool CHORUS That dragon was a breathin’ Fake fire you see There was no way of it hurtin’ Either you or me But once it jumped out Of my TV It became a different game You see?

Reading Harry Potter on the Beach By Todd Burge & Mr. Tobar’s 5 th Graders at Harmer Elementary 5/26/2015 It’s the last day of school And I feel lost in the woods From some series of unfortunate events I could talk to my parents But I’m not sure they’d listen So, I’ll just close my eyes and let my mind drift I’ll close my mind and let my mind drift I’m reading Harry Potter on the Beach Worry free Worry free I’m reading Harry Potter on the Beach Worry free Worry free Summer’s coming on And I see some bummers long long gone So I won’t plan ahead if I don’t have to I have half of a mind to Join up with you As our two heads might make A like mind before we’re through A  like mind before we’re through I’m reading Harry Potter on the Beach Worry free Worry free Eating anything with bacon That’s for me Worry free Worry free Worry free

Songwriter Workshops and Concerts for Kids! Creating original songs with your students that will last a lifetime!   Hello! My name is Todd Burge. I’m a touring Singer Songwriter who lives in Parkersburg WV. My original songs have taken me all over the U.S., performing venues including festivals, theatres, colleges, schools and music clubs, as well as The Kennedy Center, The Country Music Hall of Fame and repeat appearances on NPR’s Mountain Stage.
