There  was a time in my life  that I felt so all alone
That  I never thought that someday I would have  a happy home
A  family and a four  track radio shack microphone
A  backyard and a hammock and  a paid off student loan
A  backyard and a hammock and a  paid off student loan
 So if you  see  me and  I'm dreaming
About  selling  socks  on eBay
Shake  me  hard  till I'm  awake
Stitches  will  unravel, the  stitches  will unravel
The  stitches will unravel  if you  knit with fishing  line
 Though your cast will be  refined
 You'd be better  off with twine
 When I was a kid we would play Annie at recess
 I was always Sandy because I was the smallest
 From all that crawling on the blacktop
 There were holes in all my jeans,
 In the toes of my both shoes but I never complained
 Because I didn't think that I could sing
 See I never perfect4ed that nasally thing
 All the kids sang in the school play
 Now I know it's better if we don't all sound the same
 Now I know it's better if we don't all sound the same
 So if you hear me and I'm screaming
 About auditions for Annie
 I hope you will try out with me
 There are parts for everybody
 And you don't need to be the dog unless you like being the doggy
 He's up against a team that he has never seen before
 And they march into the outfield like they're marching off to war
 It's a good one out to right field but they're quick and make the play
 And as the curtain closes he just bows and walks away
 Singing, "If you're breathing you are living
 If you're living you are learning
 So write and write and keep on writing
 Just make sure your life's exciting"
 So if you see me and I've joined the roller derby
 Know that I've become something I always wanted to be
 Fast and strong and part of a team
 Teacher, thanks for everything
 You said "If you're breathing you are living
 If you're living you are learning
 So write and write and keep on writing
 Just make sure your life's exciting
 Write and write and keep on writing
 Just make sure your life's exciting
 Write and write and keep on writing
 Just make sure your life's exciting
 Just make sure your life's exciting
 Just make sure your life's exciting

In the toes of my both shoes but I never complained

Now I know it's better if we don't all sound the same

Write and write and keep on writing

Just make sure your life's exciting

Just make sure your life's exciting

Just make sure your life's exciting
