  • "If You Were My Friend" doesn't contain any school curriculum concepts, but it reinforces social concept of friendship. The player can listen to this song by clicking on the radio (either in the homeroom classroom or at the beach).
    "If You Were My Friend" is an original JumpStart song with lyrics and music by Mark Beckwith, and arrangements by Bob Selvin.
    Lyrics:
    If you were my friend x2
    I would try to cheer you up
    Whenever you're sad
    If you were my friend x2
    We would always talk things through
    So we won't be mad
    [Chorus]
    If you were my friend
    I'd be a lucky lucky lucky boy
    I'd look forward to the time I'd spent with you
    If you were my friend
    I'd be a lucky lucky lucky girl
    'Cause things are so much fun when there are two
    If you were my friend x2
    In the cafeteria
    I'd save you a seat
    (How about this one?)
    If you were my friend x2
    I'd share my lunch with you
    Even my treat
    [Chorus]
    If you were my friend x2
    I would still write you letters
    When you're ninety-two
    (Ninety two?)
    If you were my friend x2
    I would still come to your parties
    If you hair turned blue
    (You would?)
    (Sure!)
    [Chorus]
    'Cause things are so much fun when there are two

    As a kid, I didn't really care for any of the songs except this one. Listening again as an adult, I still kind of like it haha. It's catchy

    I honestly hope that the performers of this song added it to their repertory of songs to teach to children at concerts. There's a lot of work that goes into composing and recording the songs for the JumpStart series. It would be a shame to find that all of it is considered a one-off project.

      What did you mean by that? Mark Beckwith and Glynnis Campbell recorded it together.

    • @StuartSimon
      @StuartSimon 7 лет назад +3

      Andrea Patane Of course they did. But did they continue to perform as artists, either together or separately? If at least one of them continued to perform, they could continue to do this song by singing both parts or by duetting with others. It would be a shame for today's kids not to know this song, but if it wasn't kept alive outside of this game, then until it was posted to RUclips, it would become obsolete along with the CD that carried it. The JumpStart First Grade that was published in 1997 or later focused on treasure hunting and completely cast off all semblance to the original, including its soundtrack.

      Mark Beckwith ended up doing lots of performances in childrens venues and assemblies following the release of this game. Glynnis Campbell also did a voice role in Diablo, but she writes romance novels now I think.

    This song from Mark Beckwith Featuring Glynnis Campbell would be great idea for National Friendship Day. What do you think? It's so cute just listening to it even though it was included on an audio CD that came with this game. Just a thought or idea, LOL. 👍🏻 if you agree and remember singing it along with it at the same time.

      Gimi Gugustiucu Oh, yes, and any word form of any number between 20 and 30 through 90 and 100 have a hyphen between the multiple of ten and the extra number (E.G. "ninety-two").
      Also, it's "to the time I'd spend with you."
