[Intro - Children Singing]
Hey! Up! Down! Clap your hands! (palmas)
Hey! Up! Down! Stomp the lands!
School bell rings — cobbles meet our feet,
Straight up, down — feel that street beat!
[Verse 1]
Cobbled lanes, school bells ring on cue,
Tiara shines like lights at the view.
Tiara taps like small castanets,
Sparks like stage lights on market jets.
Tea-shop benches, lunchbox cheer,
Pint-sized heroes gather near.
Guitar arpeggio, quick and bright,
Power chords crash into the night.
[Pre-Chorus]
Palmas clap — hands make the drum,
Voices join — here we become.
Short and sharp, the chorus climbs,
Tiny hearts, big punky rhymes.
[Chorus - Lead Child with Gang Chorus]
Up! Down! Spin around, feel that street sound!
Tiara bright — we light the night, flamenco crown!
(Repeat x2: Kids shout: "Up! Down!" / Group: "Flamenco crown!")
[Verse 2]
Jump and shout — a fearless cheer,
Playground stomps, the band is here.
Cobbles rattle, schoolyard drums,
Palmas click where the laughter hums.
Postbox posters, alley art,
Painted shoes and kindred heart.
Punky snare and palmas blend,
Flamenco flair and mates you’ll send.
[Bridge - Call & Response]
Leader: Who's got the tiara that taps like a beat?
Children: We do! We do! (clap-clap, stomp-stomp) — feel the heat!
Leader: Where do we gather to shout and play loud?
Children: On cobble streets! On schoolyard ground! — we’re proud!
Leader: One, two — castanets! Three, four — power chord blast!
Children: Flamenco punk! Kids together — built to last!
[Punk Shout Break]
(Spoken / Shouted, short):
All: STRAIGHT UP! — DOWN! — SPIN! — LOUD! (x2)
[Final Chorus - Big Gang]
Up! Down! Spin around, feel that street sound!
Tiara bright — we light the night, flamenco crown!
(Repeat twice; last repeat: children sing soft then shout on last word)
[Outro - Children Singing Softly]
Feel the palmas, feel the flame,
Tiara crown — we own the game.
Flamenco spark and punky song,
Together here — we all belong.
[Production Notes - concise]
Instrumentation: flamenco guitar arpeggios (intro/verses) + distorted punk power chords (pre-chorus/chorus), snappy snare with gang stomps, handclap palmas throughout. UK textures: subtle school bell, cobbled-steps percussion, seaside-park whistle in bridge.
Vocal arrangement: lead child for verses; gang chorus (children) for hook; call & response bridge. Add a short punk shout break after verse 2. Final chorus: start soft (unison kids), build to full punk shout on final line. End with soft unison outro.
Suggested tempo & feel: ~140 BPM, energetic, singable chant hook. Syllable alignment aimed for 8–10 syllables per line for easy melody setting.
