Liner Notes

Well this might go down in history as the most fun I've ever had writing a song. My bandmates from Gin, Chocolate & Bottle Rockets and I worked with Girl Scout Troop 8047 to write this song today in a 2 hour time block so they could get their Music Badge. What an absolute riot!! Such fun kids. Gawrsh, I love my life on days like today.

Lyrics

TROOP 8047 SONG
Written by Troop 8047
with Shawndell Marks, Jen Farley and Beth Kille

VERSE 1
Here we are, right now, working together
So we can go farther
We help each other up when we fall down
And reach to Mars so we can grab the stars

CHORUS
We share ideas (we share ideas)
We do it together (do it together)
To make the world better (better)
We’re friends forever (Troop 8047!)

VERSE 2
We bounce back and we don’t give up
We do good things and we always care
We take charge and we’re not selfish (or shellfish)
A good leader is always fair

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE (spoken)
Grab your magnifying glass, it's time to explore
Have fun, learn more, dive into history
Horseback riding, and trying new things
Your curious-ily (curiosity) can uncover a mystery (mystery)

REPEAT CHORUS

- - - - and there is no Kevin!

Love the "Shellfish!"
What a wonderful gift you have given these girls, and you may never know how important your influence will be to their self-confidence and their futures. I can feel the fun in the room, and it takes me back. Thanks for this.

Stellar! Impressive they (and you) were able to put this together so quickly. Catchy chorus. They’ll each be singing this for years to come.

And there is no Kevin? Haha. Inside joke?

@disarming 2w

How awesome is this! Or shellfish made me smile. The tune is great and the kids sound so hopeful and happy. The clapping rules. The mystery part is so awesome. Absolutely heart warming and fun. And great melody. And the kids have this song forever. Great job.
