[Verse 1]
New red jumper
First day shoes
Name tag shining
So much new
Harp in her backpack
Heart in her throat
Gate swings open
In she goes
[Chorus]
Darcy’s new school day
Everything’s big and bright
Found her place in the crowd
And it already feels just right
Laughing with Bonnie in the lunchroom line
Almost perfect in every way
Darcy loves her brand-new school
(Except the spelling test today)
[Verse 2]
Miss Dimelow
Smiles
Says hi
Writes her name
In loops so wide
Whistle on playground
Darcy runs fast
Plays a quick tune
Makes the whole class laugh
[Chorus]
Darcy’s new school day
Everything’s big and bright
Found her place in the crowd
And it already feels just right
Whispers with Bonnie when the sums look hard
Sharing crayons in art and clay
Darcy loves her brand-new school
(Except the spelling test today)
[Bridge]
One tricky word
Stuck on the page
Letters dancing
All out of place
But Bonnie’s grin
Waits at the door
“You did great
Let’s play some more”
[Chorus]
Darcy’s new school day
Everything’s big and bright
Made a best friend in the crowd
And it already feels just right
Harp in her hands when the bell rings out
Whistle tucked safely away
Darcy loves her brand-new school
She’ll beat that spelling test someday (hey!)
