I would like to be Spanish
I like the way they speak
Although the words sound funny
I'd be Spanish all week
When the week begins on lunes
I'd have fun at fiestas
Martes would be dozy
Sleep it off in a siesta
I'd be Spanish on lunes
And even on martes
Midweek on miércoles
And definitely on a jueves
Viernes would be so cool
And sábado I've got no school
I'd suss out all the Spanish lingo
By the time I get to domingo
Miércoles is the day we cook a huge paella
On jueves visit the castleand - HELP! - the doncella
Viernes I'll build myself a life-size BernabeuPlay footie in it all sábado
I wish I was there right nOW!
Spanish on lunes
And even on martes
Midweek on miércoles
And definitely on a jueves
Viernes would be so cool
And sábado I've got no school
I'd suss out all the Spanish lingo
By the time I get to domingo
Domingo is my day of rest
I'll spend it at the playa
Eating pipas and drinking a lemon granizada
I would like to be Spanish
But what makes it even better
Is that no days of the semana
Start with a capital letter
I'd be Spanish on lunes
And even on martes
Midweek on miércoles
And definitely on a jueves
Viernes would be so cool
And sábado I've got no school
I'd suss out all the Spanish lingoBy the time I get to domingo.

Teacher Notes
Your class could review the days of the week in Spanish, repeating the days in order, missing one out, can the class work out which one has been missed out? They could then discuss what they do on each day of the week, creating a shared list of activities as a class using the vocabulary they have just heard.
