Original Lyrics by Lydia :-)

SO, Recently our ward had a visiting teaching conference. It was fun and entertaining and hopefully, I'll be able to get back into my "Good Visiting Teacher" groove soon.
I was called a few weeks before and asked for any suggestions I might have for a fun silly song that would go with the visiting teaching theme.
Well, most of my sheet music is in a four drawer file cabinet in a storage unit, back in the states. SO, I asked for some time to think about it. I looked through the one drawer of music I did have and let the creative wheels spin a little. They don't get exercised NEARLY enough any more, but it was fun to try my hand at it again. What I came up with was new lyrics to two songs I like.
I LOVE the music from "Enchanted," and so I took the "Happy Working Song" and put a visiting teaching spin on it. It's actually the one we used, and I ended up singing at the conference. I think it went well. It was well received and got lots of laughs and smiles.
I forget how much fun I have singing fun stuff for people. I always hoped I'd have an opportunity to sing some "Enchanted" music some time, and made it happen (with a little ingenuity. hee hee)
So, I have included the lyrics to the "Happy Visiting Teaching Song," and I've also included the other song. It's a spin-off of "Orange Colored Sky"
I hope you like them!

Happy Working Song (From “Enchanted”) with a visiting teaching twist.

Come my little friends, as we all sing a visiting teaching song
Merry sisters voices clear and strong
Come and roll your sleeves up, so to speak, and pitch in.
She may need help cleaning her kitchen, or just feel she belongs.

Trill a cheery tune, as you show up with your message from the ensign
And leave a magnet for the kitchen
Oh what joy comes from, your visiting teaching.

Just keep visiting without fail, spreading joy around you
Bringing sisters homemade bread, or even Hersheys will do.

How we all enjoy letting loose with a little adult conversation
There’s no need to hurry off and run
It can be such fun, just visiting teaching.

Oh, how strange a place to be
We’re here in Germany, so let’s enjoy it.
And, as long as we are here,
I guess some new friendships could help with some deployments
Hey enjoy it.

You can do a lot, when you’re got such a fun calling to embrace
It’s okay if there’s no make-up on your face
We adore each sister we determine
And since none of us are vermin, we can be a happy throng.

Singing as we help with your little things
There’s so much more than just meals to bring
Jump right in, and make sure you allow yours in.
And help us with our visiting teaching song.


ORANGE COLORED SKY (visiting teaching style)

I was walking along, minding my business
When out of an orange colored sky
FLASH - BAM - Ala-ka-ZAM
My visiting teachers had come by

I’d been sick with the flu, Dirty dishes galore
When out of the orange colored view
FLASH - BAM - Ala-ka-ZAM
My visiting teachers became part of my zoo.

One look, and I yelled “Oh no!”
“My house is beyond a mess”
But they scrubbed and they cleaned, shared a message I need
They did it all with a smile and I knew all the while, I’d been HIT!
This is IT! This is it!

I was walking along, minding my business, when a purpose came and hit me in the eye
FLASH - BAM - Ala-ka-ZAM
They were true friends who brought joy and love
I knew that it’s a calling sent straight from above
FLASH - BAM - Ala-ka-ZAM and Good bye!
(spoken: "See you next month!")
