Muzyka i słowa - mgr Stanisław Szary

1. Niechaj złota polska jesień,

w płatkach śniegu srebrna zima,

wiosna w jasnym blasku słońca,

co dzień nas do szkoły wzywa.

Dzwonek, co zawsze o ósmej

do klas wszystkich głośno woła,

nauczyciel już nadchodzi, a "drugi dom" to nasza

szkoła.

Ref.:Mój drugi dom, mój drugi

domcodziennie jest otwarty.Mój drugi dom, mój drugi

domw nim dla nas miejsca

starczy.Mój drugi dom, mój drugi

domw nim Karol Szymanowskizamieszkał kiedyś duchem

swym,ten kompozytor polski.

2. Kiedy czasem lecą gromy,

błyskawice w oczach pani,my nie chcemy nic

zrozumieć,taka taka złość się nie zda

na nic.Przecież szkoła przyjmie

wszystko, ona kocha nas bez granic,są otwarte jej podwoje i trzyma stronę zawsze z

nami.

Ref.: Mój drugi dom ....

3. Kiedy z nim się rozstajemy,dzwonka już nie usłyszymyi zamilknie drugi dom nasz,lecz nigdy go nie zapomnimy.O tym jak nas wychowywał nauczyciel w drugim domu,o tym jak z nami przeżywał i w trudnych chwilach zawsze pomógł.

Ref.: Mój drugi dom ...
