Know the tune Hi Lili / Hi Lo? You're ready.
Record your gaggle singing it and we'll feature it here.
How to read the marks
Bold word Strong beat
Italic word Inflection / stress
[Chorus] Section label
Tips from the gaggle
- Read the lyrics through once silently before singing.
- If the original tune is unfamiliar, look it up first.
- Modify freely. Every gaggle adapts songs to local issues.
SING IT to the tune of Hi Lili / Hi Lo
A volunteer sings a new song
To help the weary go on.
A volunteer is that extra spark
To move the world along.
A volunteer is the sound of hope
When things could start to go wrong.
We look round this place and we name the names
Of those who have gone forth and done.
Today as we meet here and through the years
You’ve given, you’ve been there, well done.
