This is My Day 02:47
lyrics
buy track
Dressing up fancy, brushing my hair Gotta look my best when I get there Grandma and sister waiting in the car Momma taking pictures like I'm some kind of star Now is time to go you know we can't be late Today's the big day, I’m gonna graduate This is my day This is my time to shine This is my big moment and I'm feeling fine It always seemed so far ahead But that was yesterday Now I can say hip hip hooray Cause this is my day Standing on stage it feels a bit strange Thinking bout next year, how will things change? It took me so long to get to the top What happens after this? Will the bubble just pop? I donno how to guess what the future may be It doesn’t matter right now; the spotlight’s on me! Chorus Now the ceremony’s over, having ice cream with my friends Talkin bout our journey. Did it really have to end? Class clowns, best buds, field trips to the zoo Favorite teachers, games at recess, times we didn’t have a clue And whatever life has waiting for me heading down the line I always will remember this moment that was mine Chorus

Get Outta My Head 02:11
lyrics

You told me I would have to fake it Or else you said I'd never make it You told me I must be insane You put me in so much pain The sound of your voice is still following me When will it let me be? Get outta my head Get outta my head That's what I said, cause I'm seeing red Get outta my head You told me I was gonna loose it But I knew I wouldn’t and I proved it You said I wouldn't last very long Now everybody knows you were wrong But I can still hear your lies when I have a bad day When will they fade away? Repeat Chorus Today you come crawling back to my door Asking me can we try it once more Now that I've found some fame But I'm not gonna play your game Just leave me alone like you know you should Today I want you gone for good You're outta my head You're outta my head No more red, that's what I said You’re outta my head I got you outta my head

Hey Granny it's your birthday You gone and turned eighty These are you grandkids Calling to tell you We gonna treat you To a Hollywood party We're coming in a limo You gonna do the limbo We're taking you out Ain't no doubt This is your moment Never forget it Granny granny granny get funky funky Gotta gotta gotta get spunky spunky Party party party like a monkey monkey Granny it's your birthday, Granny get funky Hey Granny shout woot woot Put your head up in the sun roof Wave at the people Outside the limo Do it up big But don't lose your wig! Eating cake in a stretch car Head banging like a rock star Don't lose your grip Don't let em slip There go the dentures On an adventure Repeat Chorus Dance dance dance dance Granny's in the party zone Speech speech speech speech Granny take the microphone This is fun! Let's do it again next month when it's actually my birthday! Repeat Chorus (2x)

Gimme That Green Paper Stuff 01:59
lyrics
buy track
Gotta get the next igadget Gotta brag to everybody at school Trouble is my pockets are empty Having no cash ain't ever cool Money is the magic paper I never can get enough Money money money money money Gimme that green paper stuff Wanna build a great big mansion And walk around in Gucci shoes Wanna drive a Lamborghini Instead I got the money blues Money is the stars up in the sky Without it life is tough Money money money money money Gimme that green paper stuff OK mom let's think about this I worked that long long hour You didn't even pay me enough To buy you one small flower Come on dad I need a raise I know you have the power I'll make your bed, I'll rub your feet I'll even take a shower Gonna do whatever I need to Sell my sister for a loan Rob a bank or dig for gold Steal a mint and print my own I’d even consider getting a job And that is not a bluff Money money money money money Gimme that green paper stuff Money money money money money Gimme that green paper stuff Money money money money money Gimme that green paper stuff
