melodies and parodies

I like to be silly and creative and hopelessly sentimental. So, when Heather was here, we wrote up this little parody for our 11th grade girls. Last year we did a parody of "All the Single Ladies" and this year it is "Soul Sister." The funny thing is, when we do these parodies, we don't know the original songs, so we have to learn that as we are writing the parody.

So, here's the video - mess ups and voice breaks and random improvisational interludes and everything in between. Enjoy this little ditty - hopefully you will see how much we love these girls!

WORDS:

Heey Heeey heeeeeeeeeeeeey

Your sophomore year slipped away just like a dripping tear

You knew we wouldn’t forget you

and so we went and let you get inside our hearts

Your sweet, sweet smiles

and the laughter filling every single mile

We knew that when we started you’re the ones we have decided

this love will take us far

Hey, soul sister, forget those mista mistas in the barrios, don’t you know

the way you groove, just let it show

hey soul sister, please don’t miss a single moment of this life

Heey Heeeeeeey Heeeeeeeeeeeey

Just in time, we’re back together to celebrate this life

We’re searching out direction

in our lives we want affection, don’t even lie -ie-ieee

We’re so impressed

you’ve made it another year without a great big mess

We’ve got faith in you, you know it, girl now

you’ve to show your beauty inside

Hey soul sister, forget those mista mistas in the barrios, don’t you know

the way you groove - keep it free you know

hey soul sister, please don’t miss a single little moment of.... this life

(bridge?)

Well you can find the joy

deeper than any kind of speed

so gorgeous, just enjoy

the life God’s given you and the dreams

Just be yourself now finally

forget the lies and find the love sweet

the world won’t let you see

Hey soul sister, don’t let those mista mistas in the barrios, make you go

the way you’re made is for something great you know

Hey soul sister, please don’t miss a single little moment of ... .this life

Heey heeeey heeeeeeeeeeeey (this life)

Heey heeeey heeeeeeeeeeeey (this life)
