This song is available on Curriculum Rock's The Power of Yet
CHORUS
(I'm gonna) be a bucket filler
And do my best each day
To fill other folks' buckets
With what I do and say
Simple acts of kindness
Can go a long, long way
Toward making sure that I'm a bucket filler
We each have a bucket for thoughts that make us feel good
And we can help each other in our school or neighborhood
When I fill someone else's bucket, making them feel fine
It's not just filling up their bucket, I'm also filling mine
(and so I'll) CHORUS
A compliment or a kind word, a friendly, welcoming smile
Or offering to help out with a chore for just awhile
Or listening to and cheering up a friend who might be blue
And all this bucket filling is also good for you
CHORUS
Oh yeah, let's all be bucket fillers
And do our best each day
To fill other folks' buckets
With what we do and say
Simple acts of kindness
Can go a long, long way
Toward making sure that we're all bucket fillers
Let's guarantee that we can be bucket fillers
Yessiree, let's all be bucket fillers!
