Rosh Hashanah songs

Can you help? I'm trying to find the words to a children's Rosh Hashanah song
that basically uses the melody of "Grandfather's Clock" but then goes on to
have the songleader sing the shofar sounds and the congregation echoes them
back. I heard it a few years back and would like to lead it this year...
Also... anyone interested in sharing their favorite High Holy Days songs which
are appropriate for services at which many children are present? Please
specify whether the songs are for congregational singing or for a children's
chorus.
My favorite child's solo piece for Yom Kippur is Debbie Friedman's "These Are
The Days" (to say we're sorry). It gets at the essence of the holiday's
meaning -- and it's easy to sing because of its limited range. Last year, I
had my 9 year old son sing it to a piano accompaniment and it's been requested
he sing it again this year.
Thanks!
