Chorus:
We give you,  our congratulations!   We give you,  a standing ovation,
We give you,  a big celebration,   We give you,  our congratulations!
- 4 bars horns -
Oo la la, it’s graduation, i-yi-yi-yi!  Oo la la, it’s graduation, i-yi-yi-yi!

Verse:
You went to school and studied for years, Read the books with all of your peers,
Stayed up late, filling your brain, Tried to keep from going insane.
Memorized it all for the test, wrote down the answers, hoped for the best,
Got your grades, it showed you did great, Now it’s time to graduate,
 
Chorus:
We give you,  our congratulations!   We give you,  a standing ovation,
We give you,  a big celebration,   We give you,  our congratulations!
- 4 bars horns -
Oo la la, it’s graduation, i-yi-yi-yi!  Oo la la, it’s graduation, i-yi-yi-yi!
 
Bridge:
Students, friends and family,
Thank you all for joining me.
Pomp and Circumstance, do a happy dance,
Valedictorian, speeches and stories and
a meaningful poem a, get your diploma
you’re all that, throw your hat and
 
Chorus:
We give you,  our congratulations!   We give you,  a standing ovation,
We give you,  a big celebration,   We give you,  our congratulations!
 
- trumpet solo 8 bars -

4 bars horns -

Oo la la, it’s graduation, i-yi-yi-yi!  Oo la la, it’s graduation, i-yi-yi-yi!
 
Repeat verse 1 and Chorus
