Idea:

Here's a great little tune I sing with my first graders. Sometimes I catch the second graders listening in at the door, and that's when I bring the hose out.

Kwanzaa-Man.  Sung to the tune of Spiderman.

Kwanzaa-Man! Kwanzaa-Man!
Coming straight out of Africa Land
Mishumaa Saba! I put those in my Kinara.
Jambo!
Here comes Kwanzaa Maaaaaaan!

Corn and mats! Corn and mats!
Kwanzaa uses corn and mats!
Habari gani? Today's the day of Imani!
Mkeka, Muhindi, and Zawadi!

Kikombe cha Umoja, filled up with fruit ambrosia. Dr. Maulauna Karenga. Creator of the Kwanzaa.
Jambo! Here comes the Kwanzaa-Man!
On "Jumapili" I'll have a Kwanzaa party.
Sunday night, don't be late! You need not be black to celebrate!
Twende! ‘Cause I bought way too much corn.


Repeat 7 times, for 7 days, in commemoration of the Seven Principles. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have an abnormal amount of corn I have to deal with.

I got this song out of Celebrate the Months December
(sung to the tune of BINGO)

There is a holiday that I know, and Kwanzaa is its name oh
candle lights and food so good,
all around my neighborhood,
love and thanks for all that's good,
and Kwanzaa is its name oh.

(sung to the tune of "one little two little three little Indians)

one little, two little, three little candles

four little, five little, six little candles

seven little candles shine for Kwanzaa

shining in the kinara

three little red and three little green ones

black in the middle shines a little taller

shine little candles, shine for Kwanzaa

shining in the kinara
