Our motto:

A sailor went to sea.

To see what he could see.

And all that he could see

 Was sea, sea, sea!!!

Our song (by The Beatles "Yellow Submarine")

 In the town where I was born

 Lived a man who sailed to sea.

And he told us of his life

In the land of submarines.

So we sailed up to the sea

Till we found the sea of green

And we lived beneath the waves

In our yellow submarines.

We all live in a yellow submarine

Yellow submarine, yellow submarine. We all live in a yellow submarine

Yellow submarine, yellow submarine.

Our song (to the rap-music):

Be at school in time

And don't commit a crime!

You mustn't wear jeans

And your shoes must be clean!

You must be here

At eight-fifteen.
