Purpose: To create a feeling and the importance of togetherness and socialization.
1. The child/children may join in the chorus.
2. If there is a group of children and the setting is appropriate and safe, they may stand, and hold hands as they sing.
3. The parent/teacher may ask the child/children to draw a picture of all people singing and celebrating together which would be, “A Very Special Day”.

There’s a day for mothers
There’s a day for fathers
And birthdays for me and you
There’s a day for pumpkins
And a day for turkey
Even one for groundhogs too

So why don’t we why don’t we
Have a special day a very special day
For everyone to celebrate
For everyone to celebrate
Singing all together on that day
That would be a very special day

There’s a day for trumpets
There’s a day for sleigh bells
And some days for violins
There’s a day for winning
There’s a day for losing
'Cause some days you just can’t win

So why don’t we why don’t we
Have a special day a very special day
For everyone to celebrate
For everyone to celebrate
Singing all together on that day
That would be a very special day

Doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
There’s a day for pumpkins
And a day for turkey
Even one for groundhogs too

So why don’t we why don’t we
Have a special day a very special day
For everyone to celebrate
For everyone to celebrate
Singing all together on that day
That would be a very special day
That would be a very special day
