USE THE FORCE! (x 4)
How are we going to make things move?
Use the force.
How are we going to make things move?
Use the force.
We can kick a ball to make it move,
We can pull a trolley to make it move,
We can push a door to make it move,
If we use the force.
We can kick a ball to make it move,
We can pull a trolley to make it move,
We can push a door to make it move,
If we use the force.
USE THE FORCE! (x 4)
How are we going to make things move?
Use the force.
How are we going to make things move?
Use the force.
We can kick a ball to make it move,
We can pull a trolley to make it move,
We can push a door to make it move,
If we use the force.
We can kick a ball to make it move,
We can pull a trolley to make it move,
We can push a door to make it move,
If we use the force.
Forces, forces everywhere,
You can’t see them, but they’re there.
Gravity, friction, push and pull,
Moving objects to and fro.
Forces, forces, all around,
Helping keep things on the ground.
USE THE FORCE! (x 4)
How are we going to make things move?
Use the force.
How are we going to make things move?
Use the force.
We can kick a ball to make it move,
We can pull a trolley to make it move,
We can push a door to make it move,
If we use the force.
We can kick a ball to make it move,
We can pull a trolley to make it move,
We can push a door to make it move,
If we use the force.

Song writer biography
Jenny Beeching
Jenny Beeching is a music specialist/songwriter working in primary schools in the London Borough of Newham. Many of her songs are written with the children using their ideas. Consequently many of the songs are topic-based and often have strong links across the National Curriculum. Her songs have been performed in front of two prime ministers as well as on radio and television both here and abroad and at many prestigious events including the International School Awards, The London Teaching Awards and many Olympic Ceremonies. A video of one of her songs is currently on the Marks and Spencers Plan A website and some of her songs are to be used in an English course book for school children in Lithuania. She has recorded four CDs of songs with Newham Schools. Click here to visit her website.

My Year 4 class are making new lyrics for the repeated verse to up it to their understanding as it's a little simple at the moment.
Great for understanding forces in everyday situations - Y1-Y3ish?
I love the solo guitar! Unforgettable style will (hopefully) mean unforgettable facts!
