Lyrics

Work Song

Every time she'd find a minute

That's the time that they begin it

Cinderelly, Cinderelly

Cinderelly, Cinderelly

Night and day it's Cinderelly

Make the fire, fix the breakfast

Wash the dishes, do the mopping

And the sweeping and the dusting

They always keep her hopping

She goes around in circles

Till she's very, very dizzy

Still they holler

Keep a-busy Cinderelly!

We can do it, we can do it

We can help our Cinderelly

We can make her dress so pretty

There's nothing to it, really

We'll tie a sash around it

Put a ribbon through it

When dancing at the ball

She'll be more beautiful than all

In the lovely dress we'll make for Cinderelly

Kiss the girl 

Percussion.

 Strings.

 Winds.

 Words. 

There, you see her

Sitting there, across the way

She don't got a lot to say, but there's something about her

 

And you don't know why, but you're dying' to try

You wanna kiss the girl

Yes, you want her

Look at her, you know you do

Possible she want you too, there is one way to ask her

It don't take a word, not a single word

 

Go on and kiss the girl

Sing with me now. 

 

Sha-la-la-la-la-la, my, oh, my

Look like the boy too shy

He ain't gonna kiss the girl

Sha-la-la-la-la-la, ain't that sad?

Ain't it a shame? Too bad

He gonna miss the girl

Sha-la-la-la-la-la, my, oh, my

Look like the boy too shy

He ain't gonna kiss the girl

Sha-la-la-la-la-la, ain't that sad?

Ain't it a shame? Too bad

He gonna miss the girl

Go on and

Kiss the girl

You've gotta kiss the girl

I am with you

I am with you with this letter

I am with you with this song

I am with you when you laugh At something silly I did wrong

 

Who cares abouts

Our wheresabouts?

I'm here and you are there

But I'm with you and I care

 

I am with you as I write this And I'm thinking of you now And you're with me though you're somewhere else

And I can tell you how

 

Forget the notion

That an ocean's

Keeping you from me

I am with you emotion'ly

 

I wish there was a looking glass

That we could see each other throu-ou-ough

Maybe one day they'll discover it

And you'll see me and I'll see you

But 'til they do

 

I am with you with this music

I am with you with this rhyme I am with you if you need me Any moment, anytime

 

Just close your eyes and picture us

What is it you see?

I am with you

And you're with me

Surface pressure

I'm the strong one

 I'm not nervous

I'm as tough as the crust of the Earth is

 

Who am I if I can't run with the ball? 

If I fall to

Pressure like a grip, grip, grip, and it won't let go, woah-oh 

Pressure like a tick, tick, tick 'til it's ready to blow, woah-oh-oh-oh

 

Give it to your sister, your sister's stronger

See if she can hang on a little longer

Who am I if I can't carry it all?

If I falter

 

But wait, If I could shake

The crushing weight of expectation 

Would that free some room up for joy?

Or relaxation, or simple pleasure?

Instead we measure 

This growing pressure 

 

Keeps growing, keep going, 'cause all we know is 

Pressure like a drip, drip, drip that'll never stop, woah-oh 

Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip 'til you just go pop, woah-oh-oh-oh

 

Give it to your sister, it doesn't hurt and

See if she can handle every family burden

Watch as she buckles and bends but never breaks

 

No cracks, no breaks

No mistakes 

No pressure

You've got a friend in me

You've got a friend in me

You've got a friend in me

When the road looks rough ahead

And you're miles and miles from your nice warm bed

You just remember what your old pal said

Boy, you've got a friend in me

 

Yeah, you've got a friend in me

 

You've got a friend in me

You've got a friend in me

You've got troubles, and I've got 'em, too

There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you

We stick together and we see it through

'Cause you've got a friend in me

You've got a friend in me

 

Some other folks might be a little bit smarter than I am

Bigger and stronger too, maybe

 

But none of them will ever love you the way I do

It's me and you, boy

 

And as the years go by

Our friendship will never die

 

You're gonna see, it's our destiny

You've got a friend in me

You've got a friend in me

You've got a friend in me
