Sing the Architect Song!
When there's an office or a house to build, An architect is highly skilled At designing a building, whether curvy or square, And drawing up a blueprint showing what goes where. For any kind of building like a school or a mall, Or something really fancy like a symphony hall, Or a big apartment tower that's a thousand feet tall, The architect makes up the plans. The architect makes up the plans! Now buildings come in every kind, And each one needs its own design. So a supermarket's boxy while a stadium's round, And they must be strong and sturdy so they won't fall down. A good imagination is an architect's guide. A building might have columns or a fountain inside! And when it's done, the architect is bursting with pride. The architect makes up the plans. The architect makes up the plans!
