An educator and I came up with this years ago. If it looks like something
you can use, let me know and I'll get you the music.

ASERET HA-DIBROT

(chorus)
WE LEARN IN THE TORAH OF ASERET HA-DIBROT
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS WHICH MOSES WROTE
HE RECEIVED THEM FROM GOD STANDING UP ON MT. SINAI
AND THESE ARE THE LAWS WHICH WE LIVE BY

GOD TOOK US OUT OF EGYPT AND OY, WAS IT HOT
I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD IS COMMANDMENT ACHAT
NO GOD BESIDE ME IS COMMANDMENT SHTAYIM
FOR IT IS I WHO EXISTS THROUGHOUT ALL TIME  (TO CHORUS)

IN SHALOSH GOD SAYS DON¹T TAKE MY NAME IN VAIN
NO MATTER IF YOU¹RE FREEZING COLD AND STUCK OUT IN THE RAIN
REMEMBER SHABBAT AND KEEP IT HOLY IS ARBAH
LIGHT CANDLES, SAY BLESSINGS, AND SING LA LA LA LA  (TO CHORUS)

COMMANDMENT CHAMESH SAYS RESPECT YOUR MOM AND DAD
EVEN IF YOU¹RE GROUNDED, AND FEELIN¹ KINDA MAD
DO NOT MURDER IS COMMANDMENT SHESH
RESPECT ALL LIFE--THIS IS NO RAT-RACE  (TO CHORUS)

COMMANDMENT SHEVAH SAYS NO CHEATING WHEN YOU MARRY
STICK WITH ONE PARTNER AND DON¹T VARY
COMMANDMENT SHEMONEH SAYS YOU SHOULD NOT STEAL
PUT YOURSELF IN THEIR PLACE, HOW WOULD YOU FEEL?  (TO CHORUS)

COMMANDMENT TEYSHA SAYS BE HONEST AND TRUE
TREAT YOUR NEIGHBORS THE WAY YOU¹D WANT THEM TO TREAT YOU
BE CONTENT WITH WHAT YOU HAVE IS COMMANDMENT ESER
THOUGH OTHERS MAY HAVE MORE AND YOU HAVE LESSER  (TO CHORUS)

Does anyone know of a ditty/chant/song that would help a student memorize
