 DO IT TOGETHER 

 1  
A. Listen to the lyrics, 
 (1), repeat them and then sing the song along. 

 Thank You for the Music
Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus

 I’m nothing special, in fact I’m a bit of a bore
If I tell a joke, you’ve probably heard it before
But I have a talent, a wonderful thing
’Cause1 everyone listens when I start to sing
I’m so grateful and proud
All I want is to sing it aloud

Chorus:

So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I’m singing
Thanks for all the joy they’re bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me

Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk
She says I began to sing long before I could talk
And I’ve often wondered, how did it all start?
Who found out that nothing can capture a heart

’cause = because

∙ need a university education
∙ require working outdoors
∙ require working with people
∙ require working with your hands

 
B. Make up a dialogue. Tell each other about the jobs of your choice. Say what your 
reasons for choosing or not choosing a job are.

 Example: 
A: What kind of job would you like to do when you leave school?
B:  I haven’t decided yet but I’m thinking of being a musician.
A:  A musician? That’s great! But don’t you think this job requires a lot of work if you 
want to achieve good results?
B:  It’s true. On the other hand, this job is very creative, it gives you some independence 
and a chance to travel and see the world. Music is my life so I think it may be a good 
job for me. And you?...
