I need a song to work on verb to be
 
Hello everybody!
 
I need your help! Can you recommend me a song to work on verb to be? My sts , who are doctors, are 30 years old and they really love English songs. I think it�s a really motivating way of teaching this topic.
 
Thnx in advance!

Hi,
you could try this;
I �m Henery the Eighth, I am,
Henery the Eighth I am, I am!
I got married to the widow next door,
She �d been married seven times before.
And every one was an Henery
She wouldn �t have a Willie or a Sam
I �m her eighth old man named Henery
Henery the Eighth, I am!
 
recorded by Hermans Hermits 1965 and sung by Patrick Swayzee to Whoopi Goldberg in the film �Ghost �. you can find this and other verb related songs on youtube.

1) "What I Am" by Edie Brickell with IS, AM, ARE and the contraction I �M. (Music video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDl3bdE3YQA; lyrics at http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/What-I-Am-lyrics-Edie-Brickell-New-Bohemians/33C196C89D47B22948256D920026F0EA.)
2) "Because You Loved Me" by Celine Dion with IS, AM, WERE, WAS, and the contractions I �M, YOU �RE, �S. (Music video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbWwzqj3idM&p=C80C2C8E8E8A5BC2&playnext=1&index=1; lyrics at http://www.metrolyrics.com/because-you-loved-me-lyrics-celine-dion.html)
