Semoga Bahagia ( Children's Day Song )
- Sama-sama maju ke hadapan
- Pandai cari pelajaran
- Jaga diri dalam kesihatan
- Serta sopan-santun dengan kawan-kawan
- Dengan hati bersih serta suci
- Sama-sama hormat dan berbudi
- Jaga tingkah pemuda-pemudi
- Adat dan budaya junjung tinggi
- Capailah lekas cita-cita pemudi-pemuda
- Supaya kita ada harga di mata dunia
- Kalau kita lengah serta lupa
- Hidup kita sia-sia
- Jiwa besar sihat serta segar
- Rajin dengan sabar tentu bahagia
- Lemah lembut perangai pemudi
- Cergas tangkas wataknya pemuda
- Suka rela selalu berbakti
- Sikap yang pembela dan berjasa
- Capailah nama yang mulia pemudi-pemuda
- Rajinlah supaya berjaya semoga bahagia
