Getting Better

It's getting better all the time...

I used to get mad at my school (arms down and huffy)
The teachers who taught me weren't cool (hands out then shake head and finger)
They're holding me down, turning me round (hands push down, make a circle with finger))
Filling me up with their rules (lift hands up, write rules)

I've got to admit it's getting better (finger snap back and forth)
A little better all the time
It can't get no worse
I have to admit it's getting better, it's getting better
Since I've been tryin'

Me used to be a angry young man (pump fists in anger)
Me hiding me head in the sand (hands over top of head)
You gave me the word, I finally heard (bring arms towards you, put hands on ears)
I'm doing the best that I can (arms out to beat)

I've got to admit it's getting better (SNAP... through chorus)
A little better all the time (It can't get no worse)
I have to admit its getting better, it's getting better
Since I've been tryin' — Getting so much better all the time

It's getting better all the time (snap)
Better Better, Better(lift arms slowly)
It's getting better all the time
Better Better Better (snap)

I used to be cruel to my Classmates (mean face point to audience)
I fought them and kept them apart from the things that they loved... (put up fists, hands together then apart, hands to heart)
Man, I was mean but I'm changing my scene (shake finger, one hands at a time out to change scene)
And I'm doing the best that I can (SNAP)

I got to admit it's getting better (Snap through chorus)
A little better all the time (It could't get no worse)
Yes, I admit it's getting better, it's getting better
Since I've been tryin' —Getting so much better all the time!

It's getting better all the time (SNAP)
Better Better Better(lift arms slowly)
It's getting better all the time (SNAP)
Better Better Better (lift arms)
Getting so much better all the time. (SNAP - join hands on "time" and lift)
