Lyrics
(Folk song)
John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt,
His name is my name too.
Whenever we go out,
The people always shout:
“John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt!”
Da da da da da da da…
Soft and Loud: Repeat the song several times, and get softer each time.

I like to teach the fourth line as “there goes John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt!”
Someone made this video that shows the dynamics as well: https://youtu.be/H6HgRglsndU
