Kids Praise! 8
PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT

You can’t expect to hit home runs the first time up at bat!
It takes hard word, stick-to-it-ive-ness, That’s really where it’s at!
And even if you strike out, don’t give up, don’t resign!
‘Cause practice makes perfect, so practice ran or shine!

Practice makes perfect, so practice we will,
Practice makes perfect, so we’ll practice ‘til,
We see the results that we’ve been practicing for,
Then we’ll go out and practice some more!

I don’t feel very graceful when the ball goes through my feet!
Or I back up to catch a fly and fall down on my seat!
But if I just stick with it, I’ll finally get it right,
‘Cause practice makes perfect, so practice day and night!

Spoken:
I can just see me now! There I am at Wrigley Field. I’m about to break Babe Ruth’s record: for whatever Babe Ruth had a record fo! I step up to the plate… and I strike out?!

And even if you strike out, don’t give up, don’t resign!
‘Cause practice makes perfect, so practice ran or shine!

Practice makes perfect, so practice we will,
Practice makes perfect, so we’ll practice ‘til,
We see the results that we’ve been practicing for,
Then we’ll go out and practice,
We’ll go out and practice,
We’ll go out and practice some more!
