(Xem Bài : How can I say goodbye?)
I Have Stomachache!
Why do I have a stomachache, stomachache, stomachache? ... It's very, very bad! (5/)
One thing I need right now, teacher, that's go out, that's go out, that's go out back to my
house. (5/)
I think maybe my baby plays basketball, basketball, basketball inside my womb! (5/)
One thing I need right now, teacher, that's go out, that's go out, that's go out back to my
house. (5/)
Very happy (5/) 'cause I get home now (5/), and take a good rest (5/), waiting for dinner (5/)
Is that OK? (5/) My teacher, so soon! (5/). I'll see you again (5/), tomorrow morning (5/).

(to the tune of "Wooden Heart")
How can we say goodbye, dear teachers, it's really hard.
Even if we cry, it's never enough for our hearts.
You are here to teach us how to speak this hard language
In patience and smile.
You lead us into a new life.
Out of sight, not out of mind, teachers.
We will not forget you anywhere..
You are here, we'll be there but we are always so near.
So grateful we are toward you, nice and good teachers.
