Hawkins Hollow Kids Songs
Singable Hollow Welcome
The chorus gives a new visitor an immediate line to echo and one helpful action to repeat: wave hello, move a little over, and make room. The song turns the rhythm of an ordinary arrival into a shared Hawkins Hollow welcome without naming the belonging lesson.
The part everyone joins: “Hello, hello—there’s room for you!”
Lyrics
Spoken Cue
Spencer: Hear that little walking beat?
Lex: Tap it softly with your feet!
By the berries on the lane,
soft gray sky, no drops of rain,
Spencer calls, “Who’s coming through?”
Everyone: “A brand-new friend—hello to you!”
Leader: Hello, hello!
Everyone: Hello to you!
Leader: Wave one hand—
Everyone: We’ll wave one too!
All: Step or tap, then scoot on through—
Hello, hello, there’s room for you!
Tiptoe to the bridge of stone,
creek below hums its own tone.
Lex calls out, “What can we do?”
Everyone: “Make a little room for you!”
Leader: Hello, hello!
Everyone: Hello to you!
Leader: Wave one hand—
Everyone: We’ll wave one too!
All: Step or tap, then scoot on through—
Hello, hello, there’s room for you!
Spencer: If you’re quiet—
Everyone: Come along!
Lex: If you’re wiggly—
Everyone: Join the song!
Spencer: Near or far—
Lex: Old or new—
All: Hawkins Hollow welcomes you!
Past the fence and down the trail,
porch breeze lifts a leafy sail.
Spencer asks, “Who leads us through?”
Everyone: “Side by side—me, us, and you!”
Leader: Hello, hello!
Everyone: Hello to you!
Leader: Wave one hand—
Everyone: We’ll wave one too!
All: Step or tap, then scoot on through—
Hello, hello, there’s room for you!
Hello, hello, there’s room for you!
Soft Tag: From the very first hello…
Hawkins Hollow welcomes you.

- Wave one hand, make a welcoming gesture, or look toward the joining space.
- On “step or tap,” participants may step, tap, sway, gesture, or watch.
- On “scoot on through,” shift gently to make a visible open space; no child is required to move.
